Dealing with Scene 236A:
236A INT. COLLINWOOD - FOYER
As through the door, we SEE Barnabas and Vicki approach. Barnabas opens the door for her.
VICKI Thank you so much, Barnabas, I've really had a lovely evening.
He looks at her, wanting the moments to last. Then, taking her hand...

And that's when today's first quote -
Page 106/Scene 236A - Barnabas: 'I so look forward to our being together again...'
- comes up, followed by the script explaining:
There is enormous electricity passing between them ...
|
And that's when today's second quote -
Page 106/Scene 236A - Vicki: 'So do I.'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
He raises her hand to his lips, kisses it.
She hesitates a moment, then quickly leans forward, kisses him on the cheek.
VICKI Goodnight.
A beat, and she is in the door, closing it quickly behind her.
A long moment as he stands there, the wind swirling his cape. Then, slowly he turns, moves off into the night.

End of scene - though certainly not the end of the sequence.
And as far as the dialogue goes, the only difference is that, interestingly enough, Vicki simply says "Thank you, Barnabas, I've had a lovely evening."
But when it comes to the direction and descriptions, there is actually an establishing shot of Collinwood -
- before the scene begins - we don't see, as if through the door, Barnabas and Vicki approach the door or Barnabas opening the door for Vicki because the scene actually begins with the inside of the foyer and then the door opens to reveal Vicki is the one opening it with Barnabas behind her, and then after Vicki steps in, she turns to him as Barnabas enters - and after the moment of electricity passes between them, Barnabas actually raises her hand to his lips and kisses it before Vicki says that she also looks forward to them being together again - and after Vicki bids Barnabas a goodnight, he backs away out the door like it's the last thing he wants to do - and after Vicki closes the door on him, she turns, stands there for a beat, a small smile appearing on her face, and then she moves out of frame - and as Barnabas remains standing outside the door, there is certainly wind, though it seems to move the leaves on the ground about more than it makes Barnabas' cape swirl.
