"It's in the Water," Scenes J and K

We go to the Beer Tasting Room, at "night":

SHIRLEY IS SITTING IN A CHAIR AT THE TABLE, GOING OVER SOME PAPERS.  SHE'S A LITTLE TIPSY AND HAS A BEER CAN IN HER HAND.  SEVERAL MORE BEER CANS ARE ON THE TABLE.  GESSLER IS PACING AROUND, WATCHING SHIRLEY BUSILY AT WORK.  SHIRLEY IS A LITTLE TIPSY.  [Yes, that's in there twice.]

SHIRLEY

Why can't I use a glass?

GESSLER

Because we're trying to find out if the beer gets a metallic taste from the can.

SHE DRINKS AGAIN.

GESSLER (CONT'D)

Good.  All the way to the bottom.  That's the only way to be sure.

SHIRLEY

Nothing wrong with that can.

GESSLER

Fine, fine, Shirley.  You've really gotten the hang of this job very quickly.

SHIRLEY IS BUSILY WRITING DOWN HER FINDINGS.  GESSLER MOVES BEHIND SHIRLEY'S CHAIR.  HE BENDS OVER AND PLAYS WITH HER HAIR.

GESSLER (CONT'D)

I just love your handwriting.  Phew, beer drinking sure makes you warm.

HE TAKES OFF HIS JACKET.

SHIRLEY

Yes, it is a little close in here.  I think that first batch was particularly skunky.

The filmed scene starts with Shirley remarking on the skunky beer.

They left out Shirley's line after Gessler says he's pleased with her work, "Really?  I think beer tasting is a very important job.  I mean, just think.  We're the only thing standing between the vats and the people."  And then he remarked, "That's very good.  You've got a grasp on the big picture."

In the script, Laverne calls Gessler, "You... you... sleezy [sic]... slimey..., [sic]" while onscreen she outright calls him a big bully.

Carmine's "executive position" line was a substitute for the unmemorable, "Hi , girls.  What's up?"  In the script, Laverne says Gessler was "trying to seduce" Shirley, rather than "have his way with her."

Carmine crushing a beer can was added.

The Tag is set in the girls' apartment, at "night," presumably a different night.  In the script, Laverne briefly exits to the bedroom while Shirley is getting the pamphlets about the Omaha Swamp Company, while onscreen Laverne stays on the couch and reads a magazine.  Laverne calls Shirley a "corker" in the script.  The last line was "Sometimes there's oil under swamps," but onscreen it sounds like the girls ad-lib.

Again, just a couple thoughts.  I can see why the opening of Scene J was cut.  It adds to the dim!Shirley they kept writing in Season One, since she should've been suspicious at least by the time Gessler plays with her hair.  And this really is a forgettable script that, sexual harassment aside, is one of the more forgettable episodes of the series, or even of Season One.
