"Murder on the Moose Jaw Express" script, Scene P

And it's back to the girls' apartment at night for the tag.

Once again, a scene of characters with food has been cut down:

EDNA

I bet two chips.  (BETTING TWO POTATO CHIPS)

CARMINE

I'll see your chips and raise you two pretzels (LOOKS AT HIS HAND) ...and a Ritz cracker

CARMINE AND EDNA TURN TO FRANK.  HE'S MUNCHING

CARMINE (CONT'D)

Mr. DeFazio?  You in or out.

FRANK

Out.  I ate all my money.

Frank's story about serving the mayor was different in the script, with Frank recognizing the mayor and offering ten cents off, while in the episode the mayor has to introduce himself, and Frank charges him full price.

We lost this, after the girls in a "blasé" way tell what happened on the train and afterwards:

THE DEFAZIOS [meaning Frank and Edna] AND CARMINE EXCHANGE LOOKS.

FRANK

(BEAT) Can you believe that?  The Mayor liked my pizza.

AS FRANK, EDNA, AND CARMINE DISCUSS THE MAYOR, WE FADE OUT.

It's kind of a shame that in an episode with not much Frank and Edna, and scarcely any Carmine, so much of their material is cut out of the tag.  Still, this is one of the more faithful adaptations of a L & S script.  Well, except for Lenny and Squiggy's underwear.
