I actually waited until today to explain the script vs. the pilot because I figured it would not only be easier, it would hopefully be clearer. So, with that in mind, this is how the script details recent events in this scene:
Suddenly, David rushes down the stairs, Victoria chasing after him. David's SHOUTING, clearly upset with Barnabas.
DAVID
No! Stay away from there!
VICTORIA
Sorry, he got away from me.
As Victoria crosses the great hall, Barnabas turns and
JOLTS
with astonished recognition, as if Victoria reminds him of someone important.
ROGER
(to Barnabas)
Mr. Collins, this is my son David...
his tutor, Victoria Winters.
Breathless, Victoria smiles at Barnabas, offering her free hand while she tries to corral David.VICTORIA
Mr. Collins.
As their hands touch, there is an electric moment. Barnabas locks eyes with Victoria with fierce intensity.
VICTORIA (CONT'D)
I'm sorry... have we met?
We've already dealt with David's quote, so this is how the rest of the dialogue to this point plays out in the pilot:
Roger: "Mr. Collins, this is my son David..."
Victoria: "I'm sorry, he got away from me."
Roger: "His tutor, Victoria Winters."
Victoria: (sharp intake of breath upon touching Barnabas' hand) "Have we met?"
Note the slight difference in the way some of Vicki's lines are delivered. And also note that having her say "Mr. Collins" as she reaches out to him is dropped in the pilot.
Though the part of this section of the scene that I find most interesting is that Vicki feels an instant and an obvious connection towards Barnabas upon meeting him and she brings that connection up first. The connection isn't simply one way on Barnabas' part - and that seems quite unique to this version of DS. And tomorrow we'll get Barnabas' reaction to Vicki's question...
