Finally picking things up with Liz' reaction to Barnabas knowing the history of the clock:
(CONTINUED)

Revised 2/27/90
257 CONTINUED:
Elizabeth smiles in wonderment.
|
And that's where Friday's first quote -
Page 116/Scene 257 - Liz: 'How in the world did you discover that?!'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
Barnabas turns, glances at her. Just then, Julia can be seen coming down the stairs in the b.g. He rises.
|
And that's when Friday's second quote -
Page 116/Scene 257 - Liz (CONT'D): 'Oh, Dr. Hoffman ... this is Barnabas Collins, my cousin from England.'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
And that's when Friday's third quote -
Page 116/Scene 257 - Liz (CONT'D) (to Barnabas): 'Dr. Hoffman is staying with us to help Daphne recover.'
- comes up, followed by the script explaining:
Barnabas, suddenly very interested, steps forward to take Julia's hand.
|
And that's when the first part of Saturday's first quote -
Page 116/Scene 257 - Barnabas: 'My pleasure, Doctor.'
- comes up, followed by the script continuing with:
A moment as their eyes meet, hold. Then:

And that's where the second part of Saturday's first quote -
Page 116/Scene 257 - Barnabas (CONT'D): A terrible misfortune. Will the young woman be all right?'
- comes up, followed by Saturday's second quote -
Page 116/Scene 257 - Julia: 'We're hopeful. (to Elizabeth) She's sleeping right now.'
- coming up.
And when it comes to the dialogue, Liz actually asks "Where in the world did you discover that?!" - and after Liz introduces Barnabas, Julia delivers an unscripted "Well, how do you do" before Liz explains why Julia is at Collinwood - but as for the rest of the dialogue, it's delivered pretty much as written with only a couple slight difference that aren't worth getting into.
But when it comes to the direction and descriptions, as I alluded to previously, what's indicated in the script as Scene 257 isn't so much a new scene in the pilot as it is a transition using some camerawork as the camera swings around behind Barnabas from his right to his left, as can be seen in Wednesday's, Thursday's and Friday's captures -
- and Liz' reaction to Barnabas knowing the history of the clock is much more one of shocked surprise than it is smiling in wonderment - and Barnabas doesn't rise as Julia approaches because he never knelt down in the first place - and as can be seen in the following capture -
- it's actually Julia who shakes Barnabas hand as she greets him before Liz explains about her so, therefore, Barnabas doesn't take Julia's hand after Liz has explained, nor does he step closer to Julia - and Barnabas and Julia's eyes don't meet and hold for a moment before Barnabas inquires if Daphne will be all right.
