Setting up the new scenes/sequence:
226 EXT. COLLINWOOD GROUNDS - HIGH ANGLE - DAY
As we see Willie, half-running, half-limping across the broad expanse of lawn toward the Great House.
227 ANOTHER ANGLE
TO REVEAL that he is heading for Vicki and David who are standing near one of the terraces.
Vicki is holding up some fallen leaves, one at a time, while David tries to identify them.
DAVID Maple... Dogwood... Cherry, no... Birch!
VICKI Good.
(CONTINUED)
227 CONTINUED:
She smiles and then David turns, noticing Willie first. He makes a small face as he approaches.

And that's when today's quote -
Page 100/Scene 227 - David: 'Here comes Weird Willie.'
- comes up.
As for the dialogue, the beginning of Scene 227 plays totally differently in the pilot, nut we'll get into that in the direction/descriptions section below - but David's quote for today is delivered exactly as written.
And so far as the direction and descriptions go, Scene 226 does not appear in the pilot - in the pilot the sequence begins with Scene 227, and as can be seen in today's capture -
- we see Willie off in the distance making his way, not to a terrace, but to Collinwood's central courtyard, where David and Vicki are not having a lesson about identifying leaves but instead Vicki is reading to David from
Through The Looking Glass: "Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. 'Of course you don't - till I tell you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you!"' 'But "glory" doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument', Alice..." and at that point David cuts her off by announcing Willie's approach, though we can't really tell if he makes a face because most of his face is turned away from camera.
