"Perfidy in Blue," Scene J

It's back to the bedroom, later that night.

SHIRLEY, STILL ASLEEP, IS IN THE CLIMAX OF HER NIGHTMARE.

(I would've thought that was when she and Leonardo were reliving the bus station.  Sorry.)

The dialogue was rephrased in minor ways but is basically intact.  Interestingly, the spelling of "bubblenik" in the sense of "a silly person" is different than the last name, and I don't think this is a typo because it appears twice.  The girls were supposed to "exit babbling back and forth," instead of Shirley babbling and then Laverne wordlessly slamming the bathroom door on her.

This revised shooting script has the basic form of what aired, but with some notable changes, especially with (head-shake) Fritz/Rhoda.  Next up will be some more scripts from Season Eight, and we'll be able to trace whether they got worse or better, or simply just more or less weird.
