Excerpts from the "You Oughta Be in Pictures" script

OK, this is currently selling for $140 (marked down from $200), and I'm more tempted than I am by most of the other scripts on offer at eBay, but let's take a look at what the excerpts are like.

In Scene A, Lenny and the girls enter in fatigues.  He is "weighed down with three duffel bags," Lenny as his usual pack-mule.  The "bosom buddies" line and the girls undressing after they think Lenny is gone are there, as in the filmed episodes.  Also, the "nice body, Len" line and Laverne expecting to stay up all night thinking about his underwear are indeed both there in the script.

Then we jump to p. 23, the shooting of the Army training film.  It is as I recall in the episode.

We get part of the tag, from pp. 33-34, with the boys reporting on their viewing of "the World Premiere of This Can Happen to You."

There might've been individual lines omitted, but I don't think any major scenes like in "Monastery Story."  I'd still be interested in seeing the script, but not at that price.
