"Debutante Ball" script, Scene J

The next scene, both in the script and on the episode, is in the Hotel Pfister's Ladies' Room, "a few minutes later."  The changes from these five pages are minor, and it is in fact one of my favorite sisterly scenes between the two leads.

One stage direction that didn't make it is that when Laverne "takes a sliced orange peel from her chest[, she] eats it."  I think this was a good omission, because it would've put Laverne's appetite over her humiliation.

Shirley asking if Laverne thinks the people at the ball are better than Laverne's father was added, as was Laverne's definite no, another improvement.

The episode omits Shirley saying at the end of the scene, "But you can't go out there lookin' like that."  And then she "sits Laverne down at the hand dryer" and "they start drying her hair."  This part is implied by how Laverne looks when they reenter the ballroom.
