Things now pick up with Scene 18:

18     INT. BLUE WHALE - NIGHT

       The local jukejoint... a hangout for both lobstermen and teens.
       ANGLE FAVORS DAPHNE on the phone, Vicki standing next to her.

And that's where today's quote -

Page 8/Scene 18 - Daphne: 'That's right, Mrs. Johnson... standing right here. (She looks at Vicki, smiles.) She walked here from the train station.'

- comes up - though Daphne actually says "Yes, Mrs. Johnson, she's right here" rather than "That's right, Mrs. Johnson... standing right here". Also, she doesn't look at Vicki and smile - she simply turns briefly in Vicki's direction. And finally, there's an unscripted establishment shot of the exterior of the Blue Whale before we see Daphne and Vicki.

I'm just skimming this thread so I may be misunderstanding, but if  I am on point, it would seem that the Laura story was planned to be referenced in both the 1990 and 2004 pilots.  In both, from what I can tell, the references were almost entirely eliminated in the final versions. 

It makes me wonder whether there was more Laura material in the original Seth Graham-Johnston script for the Depp Burton confection. I saw somewhere that Seth was going to do an online Q&A about the project--a very brave individual given the kind of vitriol we know some fans will spew at him. 

Again, my following of all this has been sketchy, but although a book about the filming was published, I don't believe an edition of the 2012 screenplay has yet seen the light of day?

Continuing on with the script:

19     OMITTED
_______________________________________________________________

20     INT. COLLINWOOD - KITCHEN

       Mrs. Johnson on the phone.

And that's where today's quote -

Page 9/Scene 20 - Mrs. Johnson: 'Thank you, Daphne. I'll take care of it. Please tell her someone will be there very soon'

- comes up, and then the scene concludes with:

       And she hangs up.

       Immediately she presses a button on the telephone wall panel
       labeled "Stable", listens for a beat, then hangs up, starts
       quickly out of the kitchen.

Catching up from yesterday:

21     INT. DRAWING ROOM

       A very embarrassed Mrs. Johnson comes in and faces Roger and
       Liz, hesitates a beat.

                           LIZ
                 Yes, Mrs. Johnson?

And that's when yesterday's quote -

Page 9/Scene 21 - Mrs. Johnson: 'I'm sorry, Mrs. Stoddard ... The governess is down at the Blue Whale...'

- comes up.

And notice, now the Study is the Drawing Room. Though the explanation could be that when the script was written, there was an intention to have a Study at Collinwood, but when it came time to building the actual sets or selecting rooms to use at Greystone, they simply decided they didn't need a Study as they had had on the original series and went with the Drawing Room for everything once actual shooting began...

Today the script continues with:

Roger angrily cuts in ...

And that's when today's quote -

Page 9/Scene 21 - Roger: 'And Willie hasn't picked her up?!'

- is delivered.

And the scene continues with:

                           MRS. JOHNSON
                 I'm sure he's on his way.

       Roger stands, strides angrily out of the room. Mrs. Johnson
       and Liz exchange a worried glance.

And that's when today's quote -

Page 9/Scene 21 - Mrs. Johnson: (very upset) 'I just don't know what I'm going to do with him, Mrs. Stoddard. He can't seem to get anything right...'

- comes up. And the script concludes the scene with -

And we . . .

- as it's Liz' turn to shake her head and rest her head in her hand...

Lots to catch up with in this topic. First up, setting up the current scene in the slideshow and dealing with the first quote:

22     EXT. COLLINWOOD STABLE - NIGHT

       ESTABLISHING the complex of old, Victorian buildings.

                                               (CONTINUED)


22     CONTINUED:

                           WILLIE (0.S. )
                 "...three Graces spin-- high
                 above-- lion looks at the dove..."

       CAMERA TIGHTENS TO a small lighted window under the eaves.

23     INT. WILLIE'S GARRET ROOM - NIGHT

       Where WILLIE LOOMIS, 30, slovenly and nasty-looking, sits
       hunched over a small desk, scribbling notes on a piece of paper.

       In front of him are aged, open reference books, paper, an
       antique map, etc. ... Also a half-empty bottle of bourbon.

       At the moment, he’s trying to figure something out, puffing
       excitedly on a cigarette, muttering:

And that point is when Friday's quote -

Page 10/Scene 23 - Willie: '"...three Graces spin-- high above-- lion looks at the dove..."'

- comes up. However, unlike the script, Willie isn't puffing on a cigarette (though there is one burning in an ashtray on his desk) and after delivering the above quote, Willie takes a swig of his liquor and in a moment that's unscripted, he excitedly repeats "Lion looks at the dove!"

Continuing:

       Suddenly, from o.s. the SOUND of heavy FOOTSTEPS coming up the
       stairs and ROGER'S VOICE:

                           ROGER (O.S.)
                 Loomis!

       The door abruptly opens, as Roger storms in.

And that's when Roger bellows yesterday's quote:

Page 10/Scene 23 - Roger (CONT'D): 'Why aren't you down at the station?!'

Picking up where we left off, the script indicates that Willie looks at Roger and responds with yesterday's quote:

Page 10/Scene 23 - Willie: (slightly slurred) 'I was jus gettin' ready to go...'

Picking up with today, after the script explains (in reference to Roger's actions) -

       And he crosses to the dirty sink on the wall, empties the
       bottle. Willie rises.

- that's when Willie protests with today's quote:

Page 10/Scene 23 - Willie: 'Hey, you got no right ...'

                                               (CONTINUED)


23     CONTINUED:

- and today's quote:

Page 11/Scene 23 - Roger: 'I'm warning you ... you don't straighten out your act, and right away ... you're out of here.'

And after the script explains in reference to Roger -

       Just then, he notices the things on Willie’s desk.

- Roger is scripted to ask today's quote as -

Page 11/Scene 23 - Roger (CONT'D): 'And what's this...?!'

- though he actually phrases it as "Now what is all this?!"

And then after the script explains -

       Willie looks at him, smiles insolently.

- Willie begins his response to Roger with today's quote -

Page 11/Scene 23 - Willie: 'I'm straighten' out my act, Mr. Collins, just like you said.'

- though he doesn't smile insolently. Not yet. That comes a bit later...

And Willie continues with today's quote -

Page 11/Scene 23 - Willie: 'I mean, you're an educated man. And how'd you get that way? By readin', right? So that's what I'm doin', readin'.'

- and as seen in today's capture -


- that's where the insolent smile comes in.
