"Moving In" script, Scene B

The scene that actually opens the filmed episode is set in the girls' bedroom.  The first page or so made it in, although it could be argued that Shirley is not "sleeping fitfully."

When Shirley assumes it'll be a nude wedding, she was supposed to say, "Laverne, I know this is California, but...," rather than more characteristically worry about the photo album.  And then when Laverne quotes David about the "piece of paper," this was omitted:

SHIRLEY

Oh, really, he says that?  Oh well, then why don't you just go blow your nose on your birth certificate.

LAVERNE

I can't.  It'll smear the date.  That's important.  Look, maybe someday we will be married, but David thinks it's better to live together first.

SHIRLEY

David, David, David.  (LAVERNE SPITS)

Note, there's no particular reason for her to spit in this version of the script, although she does brush her teeth on the episode.  The girls' "cow" conversation went on for a bit longer in the script:

LAVERNE

...And who are you calling a cow?

SHIRLEY

It's a metaphor.

LAVERNE

It's a big, fat dumb animal.

Shirley actually gives in a lot faster in the script than the aired episode about lying to Laverne's father.

The last page of the scene was left out:

LAVERNE

(SAD; SENTIMENTAL) It feels kinda weird.  You're the only roommate I've ever had.

SHIRLEY

I won't have anyone to buy Scooter Pies for.  To fight for bathroom time.

LAVERNE

And I won't have a roommate I can borrow a dress from.  (BEAT) At least, I hope not.  Naaaa.

SHIRLEY RUNS OUT OF THE BEDROOM TO GET LAVERNE'S PORTRAIT FROM THE LIVING ROOM.

SHIRLEY

(HANDS LAVERNE PICTURE) I want you to have this, Laverne...as sort of a going away gift.

LAVERNE

Oh, no, Shirl, I can't keep that.

SHIRLEY

Of course you can.  You can hang it in your apartment.

LAVERNE

I think I'd rather shoot it.

ON SHIRLEY'S REACTION, WE: 

DISSOLVE TO [Scene C]:

I feel like, while the aired scene is perfectly fine, we lost both funny and sentimental moments between the girls here, with an emphasis on their bond just as Laverne is moving in with MacGuffin, I mean David.  Also, I may be reading into this, but it seems like in both versions, more so visually onscreen, Shirley seems a little hostile to David, for whatever reason.  And, although it would've been hard to work out the timing, there's something about Shirley running in with the painting she did of Laverne that tickles me.
