"How Do You Say 'Are You Dead?' in German," Scenes H and J

It's still the girls' apartment, "day":

SHIRLEY, ERIC, CARMINE, SQUIGGY AND LENNY ARE IN THE LIVING ROOM.

SHIRLEY

Eric, some of us chipped in...

CARMINE

He doesn't understand you.  Forget the presentation.

SHIRLEY

(TRIES TO PRESENT ERIC WITH THE MONEY) Eric!  Money, cash, gelt!

SHIRLEY PRESSES THE MONEY INTO ERIC'S HAND.  ERIC DOESN'T WANT IT.  HE LOOKS AT IT, SHAKES HIS HEAD AND GIVES IT TO SQUIGGY.

SQUIGGY

Thanks.  (HEADS TOWARDS DOOR) Come on everybody, the beer's on me.

SHIRLEY TAKES THE MONEY FROM SQUIGGY.

SHIRLEY

Give me that.

SQUIGGY

Ixnay the beers.

SHIRLEY TRIES AGAIN TO HAND ERIC THE MONEY.

SHIRLEY

Here, it's for you.

ERIC SHAKES HIS HEAD AND PUSHES IT AWAY.

ERIC

Nein, nein!

CARMINE

He won't take it.

This is shortened onscreen, although it actually starts in the kitchen.  Squiggy's line about Laverne kicking immigrants was added, but they dropped Lenny "starting to boo softly," until "Laverne approaches him."  

We lost this:

SQUIGGY

I didn't know Hildie spoke German.

LENNY'

Sure you do.  Don't you remember when she called you dumkaph [sic]?

SQUIGGY

Was that German?

In the script, after Carmine observes that Eric is excited about the Pizza Bowl, Squiggy comments, "That's probably because he never ate there," which was replaced by his line about "a rubber room."

Eric thanking the girls and kissing their hands was added, as was them serenading him with "O Tannenbaum."  So of course was his replying with "Que Sera Sera."

Shirley's boo boo face was added after Laverne's exit.

The next scene is "continuous action," in the girls' bedroom.

Laverne being surprised that Shirley thought she was warm was added.  In the script, we learn that the girls' field trip to the Pfister Museum was in the sixth grade.  It is Laverne's pride rather than her feelings that were hurt by the snooty lady giving her fifty cents.  They left out Shirley saying, "But you took it and split it with me.  We bought ten boxes of ju-jubes."  

Shirley is calmer, "sitting thoughtfully," in the script than onscreen, where she gets very upset about not helping Eric more.

The scene and the act end with Laverne saying that she promised her father that Shirley would come over for dinner, too.  Onscreen, they took a thing from the tag, about Frank laughing at how Shirley eats spaghetti, which I'll get into next time.

Thoughts:

• Once again in this script, Squiggy is generous with other people's money.
• Gott in Himmel, Squiggman, how can you not recognize German?
• Ju-jubes.
