As the episode opens, Laverne, Shirley, Frank, and Edna are returning from church. Shirley found the sermon "uplifting," but Frank hits Laverne for laughing, at Edna's funny faces as it turns out. Now, wait a minute, the DeFazios are Catholic and Shirley is Protestant and Edna is, I don't know?
The next page reveals it was Mass and Edna made funny faces because she was kneeling in gum. I can see why this scene was cut.
We jump ahead to p. 16. Bobby and Shirley are doing their "what a guy/gal" routine and Laverne wants to join in because all her family does is "throw meatballs." Also, Shirley bleached Bobby's blue socks white. (If the meatballs and bleach happened in the actual episode, I've blocked it out.)
Jumping ahead to p. 23, Shirley's money is missing and Laverne suspects Bobby.
Pp. 45-47 for the tag, with Shirley writing in her diary, as she does in the actual episode. I haven't watched the episode in awhile, but I think Lenny & Squiggy wanting to use the girls' tub, because they're growing tomatoes in theirs, was kept. Interestingly, one part is crossed out, but then a handwritten note clarifies which part to cut out.
YOU WERE THE ONE WHO BOUGHT THAT SCRIPT! I was wondering! You are braver than I.
ReplyDeleteEdna could definitely go to church with them, but no way could she get communion as a multiple-time divorcee, especially in the early 60's.
The tomato scene is definitely in the original ep, yep.
Blushing, yes, it was me. (I emailed you about it while I was deciding, although I knew you probably wouldn't reply and talk me out of it in time.) Anyway, what was viewable on eBay intrigued/horrified me, so we'll see what other gems it contains.
DeleteGood point about Edna.
Aww! Heck, I haven't checked my email but I'll probably see it today!
