"Teenage Lust" script, Scene A

On October 19, 1981, the shooting script for "Teenage Lust" (sometimes known as "Young at Heart") was completed.  This would air as the fourth episode of Season Seven.  At this point, all the Marshall relatives had been cast.  However, the sets listed are Cowboy Bill's, Girls' Bedroom, and Girls' Living Room, with no mention of the frat house.

We begin at Cowboy Bill's, during the day.  In the script, Mike was supposed to tow Shirley in by a rope, although they're skating in both versions.  We lost Shirley singing, "a la Rawhide," the lyrics, "Head 'em up.  Move 'em in, roll 'em..."

This was omitted after Frank asks what Mike will have:

MIKE

I'd like to run into a girl like Shirley every day for the rest of my life... although it might be a bit painful.

SHIRLEY

Isn't he sweet?

MIKE

(LOOKING ADORINGLY AT SHIRLEY) Me?  Look at those eyes.  Look at that nose.  Look at that smile.

On the aired episode, the admiration of facial features is more mutual.

After Mike says he'll be twenty in July, Shirley was supposed to say, "You're nineteen now.  I thought you said you graduated from college."  And then he'd reply, "I said I go to college."

And when he exited, he was supposed to tell "the crowd," "Cute girl, great skater, can't stop."

Here's what was omitted after Shirley reacts to Frank having twenty-year-old ketchup:

FRANK

I got chicken older than that.

FRANK EXITS.  A YOUNG BOY WALKS UP TO SHIRLEY.

SCOTT

Hey, babe, you alone?

SHIRLEY

Yeah, and I'm staying that way.

SCOTT

(DISGUSTED) Dames.

Yes, we could've seen Garry Marshall's twelve-year-old son flirt with 34-year-old Cindy Williams.

As for the rest, Shirley seems more smitten with Mike onscreen (played by a 21-year-old actor in his television debut) than in the script.
