"Child's Play" script, Scene A

After the acid-trip of "I Do, I Do," the "Rev. Shooting Script" for "Child's Play" offers far fewer surprises, but it is Season Six, so it's still weird.  From April 14, 1981 (airdate May 26th), we begin, as we so often do, in the girls' apartment, this time at night....

For the most part, the four pages are intact, although Lenny and Laverne building a cardhouse together was added.  Another addition was Edna having no place to sit when a bunch of people cram onto the sofa, and then Frank calls her Sweetheart and has her sit in his lap.  This lends support to my theory that shippiness was sometimes more due to the performers than the writers.
