Setting up the current sequence:
153 EXT. OLD HOUSE - DAY
Willie's pickup is parked in front.
Two TEENAGERS from the village are busily cleaning away the brush, dead branches, etc., loading it all into the bed of the truck.
154 ANOTHER ANGLE
As David and Vicki come out of the path through the woods, Vicki stops, stands looking at the house.

And that's when Sunday's quote -
Page 70/Scene 154 - Vicki: 'It's going to be beautiful, isn't it, David?'
- comes up, followed by Monday's quote -
Page 70/Scene 154 - David: 'It's gonna be awful.'
- coming up, followed by the script explaining:
She looks at him, smiles.
VICKI Come on.
(CONTINUED)
154 CONTINUED:
And they start toward the house. As they pass the two boys:
VICKI Is Mr. Collins inside?
BOY #1 (shrugs) Mr. Loomis is.
Vicki nods, they continue up on to the veranda. From inside, the SOUND of HAMMERING can be heard.

And as for differences in the dialogue, it's delivered basically word for word except that like David, Vicki also says "gonna" rather than the scripted "going to".
And as for differences in the script's direction and descriptions of scenes, there's much that's different (some no doubt necessitated by using Greystone for the Old House rather than a house similar to Spratt House of the original series). Willie's pickup is nowhere to be seen - there are actually four workmen seen clearing debris and/or working on the front of the Old House - obviously none of the cleared debris is being loaded into Willie's truck, it's simply carried away off screen - David and Vicki do not come out of a path through the woods as they're seen coming up the stairs to the terrace and they stop at the top of those stairs to look at the house - and as Vicki and David make their way toward the house, they only encounter one workman, who may indeed be a teenager (but the other men are older - and incidentally, Boy #1, the character that Vicki speaks to, is credited as Gardener in the pilot) and he doesn't shrug in response to whether or not Barnabas is inside, he simply says that Willie is before throwing a bag of debris on a pile - and considering that Vicki and David are already on the front terrace of the house, they do not walk to a veranda - and there is no sound of hammering heard coming from inside.
