SHIRLEY COMES IN FROM THE KITCHEN WITH A TRAY OF SANDWICHES.
SHIRLEY
Come on, Laverne, Dr. Dawson will be here any minute.
LAVERNE
Shirl, you know I don't like doctors... It's gonna hurt.
SHIRLEY
He's a hypnotist. He's not gonna give you a shot.
LAVERNE
How am I gonna know? When I'm hypnotised [sic] he could do anything he wanted to me.
That was dropped, and they skipped this:
SHIRLEY
...Oh, Doctor, would you like a sandwich?
SHIRLEY OFFERS A TRAY OF SANDWICHES TO HAL.
SHIRLEY (CONT'D)
Peanut butter and sauerkraut on raisin bread.
HAL
Crunchy or creamy?
SHIRLEY
Crunchy, of course...
HAL
Your husband's a lucky man... My wife's a terrible cook.
LAVERNE JUST SHAKES HER HEAD. HAL POPS SANDWICH INTO HIS MOUTH AND LICKS HIS FINGER.
SHIRLEY
It's an easy recipe. I got it on the back of the sauerkraut jar. The key is fresh bread.
LAVERNE
Shirl...
SHIRLEY
(CROSSING TO SIT) I'm a memory.
LAVERNE
(HANDS SHIRLEY THE TRAY) Make this a memory too.
In the script, there's a bit more about the dessert that Shirley offers the doctor:
SHIRLEY
We're having lime jello [sic] with bacon.
HAL
No, thanks.
LAVERNE
Take some with you. Please.
Shirley's odd food is definitely a bigger deal in the script than onscreen. The doctor saying that Walter is a lucky man expands on a similar line of Carmine's, which did make it in. The doctor's claim that his own wife is a terrible cook feels very unnecessary.
