It's back to the girls' apartment, at "night." They added "Que Sera Sera" to the background, and Shirley talking to Stanley, before going into the dialogue from the script. On the other hand, they understandably took out Laverne's line "There are a lot of Dirty Dougy's in the world." The girls ' exchange about the double standard was added, I wonder by whom. And in the script, Doris from bottling went to the PX with a sailor, while it's on board in the filmed episode.
This is the one scene that is relatively more feminist onscreen than in print. Overall, as I've said, i think Holly Mascott's Final Draft had a lot to offer that didn't make it through to the end, for whatever reason. Next time, we'll look at another Season One episode where Shirley has to fight off an attacker, and see if the issue of assault is handled any better there....
