Setting up the first scene in the script's next sequence:
256 INT. COLLINWOOD - GREAT HALL - NIGHT
As Joe helps Willie carry out a beautiful antique dresser to be loaded in the pickup outside.
In the b.g., Elizabeth is standing with Barnabas, as he examines various other pieces waiting to be taken out.

And that's where today's quote -
Page 115/Scene 256 - Liz: 'We know the chair belonged to Barnabas and the bust of course is his father, Joshua Collins. The clock, I'm afraid, is a mystery.'
- comes up.
And when it comes to the dialogue, Liz' lines are almost completely reworked for the pilot because what she actually says "We know that the bombe chest belonged to Barnabas, the bust is Isaac Collins, and the clock, I'm afraid, is still a mystery."
And when it comes to any differences in the direction and descriptions, there's actually an establishing shot of Collinwood at night -
- before Scene 256 begins - and Mrs. Johnson makes an unscripted appearance in Scene 256 as she follows Joe and Willie -
- as they carry the chest - and which is obvious from today's capture and the captures above, it's actually Joe and Willie (and Mrs. Johnson) who are in the background and Liz and Barnabas who are in the foreground.
And as a side note, apparently even that nighttime shot of Collinwood is a victim of the incorrect color timing on the DVD sets:
