LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY ENTER AND LOOK AROUND THE ROOM. WE SEE PEOPLE MILLING ABOUT, ATTIRED IN WARDROBES FROM MANY LANDS. TURBANS, SARIS, KILTS, SOMBREROS, ETC. THERE ARE ALSO SOME NORMALLY-DRESSED PEOPLE.
Normally-dressed people?! The set actually looks like a German-style inn or restaurant, but whatever. The following was left out and replaced with Laverne greeting a woman in a burka with "Hail Mary":
A MAN WITH A CAMERA COMES UP TO THE GIRLS.
PHOTOGRAPHER
(IN SPANISH) Would you like your picture taken?
LAVERNE
He wants us to take his picture. (TO MAN) Si, si. El gusto es mio.
LAVERNE TRIES TO TAKE THE CAMERA OUT OF THE MAN'S HANDS.
PHOTOGRAPHER
(IN SPANISH) What are you doing? Give me my camera.
THEY HAVE A TUG OF WAR WITH THE CAMERA.
SHIRLEY
Laverne, he wants to take our picture.
LAVERNE
Oh, (TO MAN, HANDING BACK CAMERA) Que sera, sera.
THE GIRLS POSE FOR THE MAN, WHO THEN TAKES THEIR PICTURE.
PHOTOGRAPHER
Gracias, gracias. Five bucks.
LAVERNE
That means five bucks, Shirl.
SHIRLEY
Good work, Laverne.
SHIRLEY TAKES OUT THE MONEY FOR THE MAN AND PAYS HIM.
Jeffrey asking, "Did I hear something crinkle?", after hugging Laverne was omitted, as was her reply, "They put too much starch in my slip."
In case you're curious what Heinrich says to Laverne that isn't translated by Jeffrey, it's "Perhaps one day you'll come to my country and see how lovely it is" and then "That is when you get a chance." Laverne's brief Marlene Dietrich imitation sounds like an ad-lib.
The omission of the part with the photographer was wise, although I'm not thrilled with the replacement. The "crinkling slip" should've been kept in, since Jeffrey isn't an idiot and you'd think he'd be more suspicious. Note that there are two scripted Javerne kisses, and Jeff G and Penny make the most of them.
Hey, if you're gonna kiss JG, you go for it!
ReplyDeleteAnd Penny definitely does! (As would many of us.)
DeleteHah, yep!
