The next scene in the current sequence:
155 INT. FOYER - OLD HOUSE - DAY
The door, now reattached to its hinges, patched, but still not painted, stands open. Vicki stands there for a beat looking around, then steps inside, David following.
156 ANOTHER ANGLE
As she sees Willie in the drawing room, working with another MAN, plastering the walls.
VICKI Willie.
He turns, is shocked to see her, becomes very agitated.
WILLIE Miss Winters! I'm ... I'm sorry. I didn't see you standin' there. Uh, uh ... Is there somethin' I can do for ya?
VICKI David and I Just wanted to come over and see how things were coming along.
He quickly crosses to her.
WILLIE Yeah, well, uh ... Things are comin' along good.
VICKI Yes, it looks that way.
Willie looks at the boy:
WILLIE Hi, Davey.
(CONTINUED)
156 CONTINUED:
David doesn't say anything. He's just standing there looking around, an unhappy expression on his face.
O.S. the SOUND of HAMMERING and SAWING can be HEARD from other parts of the house.

And that's when yesterday's quote -
Page 72/Scene 156 - Vicki: 'Is Mr. Collins here?'
- comes up, followed by today's quote -
Page 72/Scene 156 - Willie: 'Uh ... No ... No, he ain't, Miss Winters. He's, uh ... He's in Portland today ... buyin' some stuff we need. Yeah, that's where he is. Portland!'
- coming up.
And when it comes to the dialogue, there aren't any significant differences.
However, when it comes to the differences between the script's direction and descriptions of scenes and what actually happens in the pilot, again there's much that's different. Scene 155 doesn't appear in the pilot and who knows if it was ever shot? (Presumably not since there isn't any synopsis for it in the "SHADOWS IN THE '90s: The Dark Shadows Concordance 1991" book.) When we first see Willie in Scene 156, unlike what the script indicates, he's actually kneeling and stirring something in a large bucket, and the other man is actually gathering up whatever he's been working on - Vicki and David spot Willie from the doorway of the drawing room, and unlike what the script indicates, Willie goes over to her almost as soon as he sees her - and the workman leaves the room while Willie and Vicki begin talking and he passes by David, who remains standing near the doorway - and speaking of David, he doesn't actually look around the room with an unhappy expression on his face because he simply just stands there basically unmoving - and there are no off screen sounds of hammering and sawing where the script indicates because those sounds are actually heard at the very beginning of Scene 156 while Willie is seen doing his stirring.
