There is no Scene I. It is again "Day" in the Common Room, presumably the next day. Except in the scene as shot, it seems to be evening or even night.In the episode as aired, we do get Laverne apologizing for making Sister Margaret drool, and it looks like that was not a Lasser ad-lib earlier. (Maybe someone actually paid attention to continuity for a moment?) Here's the context in the script, most of which didn't make it in:
LAVERNE
Listen, Sister Margaret...I'm sorry. I drove you crazy and made you drool. No one likes a drooling nun.
SISTER MARGARET
It's alright. I always drool.
LAVERNE
(WIPING SISTER MARGARET'S CHIN)
Yeah, you got a little on you now.
The dialogue on p. 30 mostly made it in, although "rubber" was omitted from "I got you locked in a rubber chapel." In case you're curious, the spotlight part is in there. More omitted dialogue, from p. 31:
SISTER MARGARET (CONT'D)
Feel it now?
LAVERNE
A little. I think it's pressing in my side.
SISTER MARGARET
Those are the pickles.
On p. 32, Margaret calling Laverne "you sweet thing" was left out.
Whew. Them intending that spotlight speech and not even workshopping it out of the draft. Y'all are better than that!
ReplyDeleteIt's also in Scene K, "THE LIGHT REAPPEARS." For Laverne's speech in the filmed tag.
DeleteWhew. Show. You are not "A My Name Is Alex," show.
DeleteThe show didn't know what it was in Season Eight.
DeleteIt was swimming for its life. Drowned anyway, though.
DeleteThe shark came back for seconds, and thirds!
DeleteYEP! This is one of those shows with like, four shark jumps. By the time Carmine's doing Aquarius in a New York basement one-roomer, it's the fifth time around the bend.
DeleteRoseanne has at least that many in its 9th season.
