When it comes to the differences between what was in the excerpt from the latest scripted part of Scene 121A and how it ended up playing in the pilot, Roger actually asks "Can I get you a drink?" - to which Barnabas actually replies "No thank you. As a matter of fact, I have an engagement. I've taken enough of your time. (a beat) But there is one other matter I should like to discuss" - and when it comes to Liz' line questioning about the Old House, the "What about it?" part is dropped in the pilot - and Barnabas actually begins his reply with "Yes. You know, of course, the original Barnabas was born there..." and he actually concludes with "but...I'd love the opportunity to restore it to its original condition" (love being much stronger than like) - and Carolyn's line about that being "Cool" is completely dropped - and Roger actually turns to Liz in surprise before he tells Barnabas "It would cost a fortune. The place is a complete wreck" as he walks back to where he was previously standing rather than staying by Barnabas' side - and Roger sits after looking at Barnabas as he can't believe that the money to restore the Old House is of no consequence to Barnabas - and Roger and Liz share a glance before she asks if he has any objection - and the "I guess not" part of Roger's scripted reply is dropped in the pilot - and Barnabas actually reacts with "Good. (smiles) Then it's settled" - and after Liz marvels that their original family home in America will come back to life, Barnabas simply responds with a sly "Yes", which, being subtle, makes it more effective.
