"Take Two, They're Small," Scene D

Act Two opens where we left off, with "continuous action":

LANCE

Laverne?  Shirley?

THE GIRLS RESPOND TO THEIR NAMES BY WAVING.

SHIRLEY

Lance?  Brent?

THE GUYS DO THE SAME.

SHIRLEY (CONT'D)

Well.  Well.  Well.

LANCE

Can we sit down?

SHIRLEY/LAVERNE

Wellll... sure.  Yeah.  Come in.

This was replaced by Laverne inviting the guys by name to sit down.

Laverne wondering "where they got those tiny ties," and Shirley saying, "At a tiny tie store," was replaced by Shirley saying she's going to kill Lenny and Squiggy.

Onscreen, there's a dissolve skipping over the girls getting the martinis and sitting down on the couch between their dates, so they're just there.

Laverne's line "Don't eat the olives.  They're just there to adorn" was understandably dropped.  I'm less sure why they omitted Laverne saying of her pop, "He's not exactly Mr. Tact."

Laverne mentioning that Edna is her "new mom" and she and Frank are "sort of newlywed" is a nice little addition.  They left out Frank saying offscreen, "Hey, Edna.  Did you get a load of those two guys?" and Edna replying, "Frank, hush," which is probably just as well.

The omitted opening is basically filler, so I can see why it had to go, although it does add to the awkwardness.  Other than the "tiny tie" store line, there's not really anything here I'd keep.
