"It's in the Water," Scene A

On March 5, 1976, a little over a month before "It's in the Water" aired, the Revised Shooting Script was turned in.  Let's see if there are any significant changes.

Act One opens in the girls' living room, "morning."  In the script, "Laverne comes out, puts on her coat, picks up her purse, goes over to couch, lies down," while onscreen she's already lying on the couch.  And Shirley was supposed to "neaten up Laverne while Laverne gets breakfast," but instead Shirley puts on a scarf.

Laverne pouring herself milk & Pepsi was not in the script as a stage direction, although onscreen she pours without comment, and yet it's mentioned in omitted dialogue:

SHIRLEY

It's very important to know those [the four S's].  (BEAT) Look what she has for breakfast.

LAVERNE

I like Pepsi with milk.  It's the breakfast of lumps.  Besides, I gotta have something or I get the growlies all morning.  (PUTTING ON HER COAT) When did you eat?

SHIRLEY

Eat!  I'm too nervous to eat!  

The last part of the dialogue from this scene was done as voiceovers as the girls arrive at work.

My only thought: "The breakfast of lumps."
