Picking with the last descriptive line from what was posted from the script in the previous post, Roger doesn't really knock upon reaching the door to Willie's room. Things begin to play out as the script indicates for the next scene in the sequence:
111 INT. WILLIE'S ROOM
As the two men enter, look around the disheveled space. No Willie. Roger angrily grabs two empty bourbon bottles from Willie's desk, hurls them into a waste basket.

And that's when the first part of today's quote -
Page 43/Scene 111 - Roger: 'You'll probably find him sleeping it off somewhere.'
- comes up in the script. And the script continues with:
The Sheriff crosses over to look at Willie's desk. He ricks up dog-eared paperback, "Orologium Sapientiae: The Book of the Dead" and stares at it... jots down something on a little notepad.

And then the second part of today's quote -
Page 43/Scene 111 - Roger (CONT'D): 'A very strange young man, our Mr. Loomis.'
- comes up in the script. However, in the actual scene in the pilot much of this portion of the scene plays differently. After Roger and Patterson enter Willie's room and exchange a glance at the sight of the disheveled space, Roger actually says "A very strange young man, our Mr. Loomis" as he walks past Willie's desk and to a table in the room where he picks up two empty liquor bottles, then says "He's probably sleeping it off somewhere", and then hurls the bottles into an unseen waste basket (apparently the Collinses don't redeem them for the deposits
). And Patterson hasn't crossed over to Willie's desk - though we've yet to know it because he's off camera, Patterson has simply stayed in the same spot as when he entered the room.
