IT'S SNOWING. CARLISLE'S IS ONE OF MILWAUKEE'S MOST EXCLUSIVE STORES.
There's no indication onscreen that it's snowing, but OK.
They left out Laverne saying, "I bet it costs five bucks just to leave." In the script, the first dress Shirley looks at is only a month's rent, not a year's worth, as it would eventually be. Instead of Laverne fondly referring to Shirley's balloon never landing, in the script she says, "You'll get all the wrong sizes," if Shirley someday shops there without looking at the tags.
The "egg yolk" on Laverne's teeth was added, as was Shirley later calling her "my rich, college-educated friend."
This was left out:
MR. CLARK
Perhaps you'd prefer the hanger? It's only forty-seven fifty.
LAVERNE SETS HER PURSE ON THE COUNTER. SHE ABSENTMINDEDLY PICKS UP A LACE HANDKERCHIEF.
LAVERNE
That the cheapest hanger you got?
Laverne's line "We don't have to take this from a guy who smells like the inside of my grandmother's purse" interestingly was given to Shirley.
They skipped Shirley saying that at Woolworth's, "their dress of the week is only five bucks and the hangers are free."
The store detective is O'Brian in the script but Jenkins onscreen.
They wisely dropped Shirley saying, after she claims Laverne doesn't steal, "oh, sure there was that Popeye Pez dispenser when she was eight."
The slapstick at the end, including Laverne "breaking a lady" (mannequin), was added.
My main thought is that the basic scene is here but needed polishing, like giving Laverne motivation to use one of the handkerchiefs, rather than just absent-mindedly grab one.
