For the rest of the month we'll be detailing scenes/sequences that don't appear in any version of the pilot or that only appear in MPI's restored version.
First up:
104 EXT. COLLINWOOD - DAY
The storm has intensified. CAMERA TIGHTENS to the ground floor dining room french doors.
105 INT. DINING ROOM - DAY
Roger is sitting at the big table, an egg cup and a newspaper in front of him. Outside, the rain is slashing at the windows.
A beat, and Vicki ENTERS.
ROGER Good morning.
VICKI Good morning. Any word about Daphne?
ROGER (shakes his head) They promised to call if there's any change.
(CONTINUED)
105 CONTINUED:
Vicki glances at the windows, shivers slightly, then crosses to the sideboard for some breakfast. Roger watches her a beat.

And that's where today's quote -
Page 40/Scene 105 - Roger: 'I assume you've already met David?'
- comes up.
And as for what's different, Scene 104 does not appear in any version of the pilot - Scene 105 actually begins with a shot of the rain slashing against the windows and then, as we hear the crinkling of a newspaper, the camera pans to the left, not to reveal Roger, but Mrs. Johnson, in an unscripted appearance, who is arranging the breakfast choices on the sideboard. When Vicki enters the room, she greets Mrs. Johnson with an unscripted "Good morning, Mrs. Johnson" -
- and Mrs. Johnson follows with "Good morning, Miss Winters" as she begins to leave the room, the camera following her and revealing Roger sitting at the table with his newspaper. As for the rest of what's been shared of the scene so far, the dialogue plays exactly as scripted, though Vicki doesn't glance at the windows or shiver slightly, and she doesn't have to cross to the sideboard for some breakfast because, as can be seen in the shared screen cap, she's already standing at it - and rather than Roger shaking his head, he actually puts down the newspaper and takes off his glasses as he explains about Daphne's condition.
And as a sidenote, the room used for this scene is actually Greystone's Morning Room, where breakfast would actually be served. Greystone's Dining Room won't actually be seen until the series.
