Concluding the sequence and picking up the scene with how it concludes in the pilot:
The boy just lies there looking up at her.
VICKI (CONT'D) Okay, time to go to sleep.
She bends to kiss his cheek. He turns his head away. She sits there for a moment, then pulling the covers up around his neck:

And that's when today's quote -
Page 70/Scene 152 - Vicki (CONT'D): 'We're going to be good friends David. You'll see. Sleep tight.'
- comes up, followed by the script explaining:
And turning out the bedside lamp, she quietly goes out of the room, closing the door behind her.
HOLD ON the boy as he lies there, eyes pools of darkness. And...

End of scene and sequence.
And so far as what might be different with the dialogue, again, everything is delivered exactly as scripted.
And as far as any differences in the scripted direction vs. the actual pilot goes, Vicki doesn't actually pull the covers up around David - and after saying that he'll see that they'll be good friends, Vicki gets up from the bed and goes to the doorway before she tells him to sleep tight and then shuts off the light via a switch on the wall before exiting the room.
One thing that is interesting is that as the scene plays in the pilot, the shot of David simply lying in his bed looking at Vicki appears to display his reaction to Vicki saying all that counts is that Sarah is real to him when as the scene was originally shot it was his reaction to Vicki saying a time will come when he won't need Sarah anymore. Though knowing David as we do, he was likely to have reacted the same way to either of Vicki's ideas.
