And here's the current sequence (most of which only appears in the restored MPI version of the pilot):
100 INT. COLLINSPORT HOSPITAL - DAPHNE'S ROOM - NIGHT
CLOSE on Daphne propped up in bed, face deathly pale, eyes closed, lying under a maze of life-support tubes, I.V.s, etc.
SLOWLY WIDEN TO INCLUDE DR. HYRAM FISHER examining her, a bleary-eyed Joe Haskell sitting next to her awkwardly holding her hand. A NURSE hovers in the near b.g.
(CONTINUED)
100 CONTINUED:
Fisher is an elderly, white-haired man, the Collins family physician for years.
A beat. He closes his bag, turns to Joe.

And that's when yesterday's first quote -
Page 36/Scene 100 - Fisher: 'There's nothing you can do here now, Joe. Why don't you go into the lounge and get yourself a cup of coffee?'
- comes up, followed by today's quote -
Page 36/Scene 100 - Joe: 'No. I want to stay with her.'
- comes up. - and the script continues with:
Fisher nods, pats him on the shoulder.
FISHER I'll look in on her later.
And he starts for the door.

End of scene.
And when it comes to the differences between the script and the restored version of the pilot, there is actually an establishing shot of the exterior of the hospital (Collinsport Mercy Hospital) in which it is raining, a woman is walking along the sidewalk with an umbrella, and while it's mostly cloudy, there's a very odd brightness in the sky considering it's nighttime (it must be because of an extremely bright full moon that's suddenly come out
) - and we don't actually see Joe until after Fisher (who I wouldn't exactly describe as elderly in the person of actor Wayne Tippit) is done examining Daphne - and speaking of the examination, Fisher doesn't have a bag, only a stethoscope - and after Fisher tells Joe there's nothing he can do, he actually says "Why don't you go to the lounge, get yourself a cup of coffee?" - and Joe actually responds with "No. No, no. I want to stay with her."
As for how much of the scene is in the NBC version of the pilot, well, it's simply the shot of the medical equipment and Daphne in bed - no Fisher, no Joe, no nurse.
And speaking of the nurse, while apparently she is in the room with them, we don't actually see her until the next scene...
