****
(ACT 3:-Scene, Pizza Bowl, interior, day. Laverne's pushing Shirley toward her father)
SHIRLEY -under her breath-: "Don't make me do this, Laverne!!"
LAVERNE: -smugly-: "C'Mon, Shirl; if the quiz's so right, go ahead; ask my Pop out on a date!"
SHIRLEY: -turning and snapping at her-: "Are you crazy?! He's married to Mrs. Babbish!"
LAVERNE: "Well, for two such swell soulmates like yourself, that should only be one little detail. Besides, if you don't go out with him, I don't go out with Lenny."
SHIRLEY: -frowning- "That new Elvis record had better be worth this..." She turns around and comes face-to-face with Laverne's father. They both smile at each other. Awkwardly-
SHIRLEY: -too cheerfully-: "Hi, Mr. DeFazio."
FRANK -gruffly-: "Yeah." -goes back to checking over the preceding day's receipts-
(Shirley tries to wince away, but Laverne gives her a good shove, nearly shoving Shirley into Frank. The twosome share another pained and awkward smile).
SHIRLEY: "Say, Mr.DeFazio; how do you feel about monster films?"
FRANK -clearly confused-: "Monster Movies?"
SHIRLEY: "Oh yes; Godzilla stomping through cities and eating people and.." (She pantomimes stomping through a villiage and eating people)
FRANK: "Waddya think, I'm stupid? I know whatta monster movie is!"
SHIRLEY: "Ohhh," -embarrassed and with a lot of flitting gestures- "Well, you see...Laverne and I have an extra ticket. Carmine's...busy..."
FRANK: "Is he supposda be out wit that Mrs. Lockwash again?"
SHIRLEY: -still flitting-: "Well, I OW!" -Laverne stomps on her foot- "Yes."
FRANK: "So ya want me to come an' keep ya company?"
SHIRLEY: "If you're not busy..."
FRANK: "Eh, I ain't gonna be. Edna can take care of it fer a few hours."
SHIRLEY: "Shouldn't you ask her first?"
FRANK -bellowing-: "I AIN'T GONNA ASK HER!"
EDNA -peering out of the kitchen-: "Ask me what?"
FRANK: "To take care of the Pizza Bowl for a couplea hours on Saturday night!"
EDNA: "Oh! Well, where else would I be?"
FRANK -smugly-: "See, I told ya.
SHIRLEY -smiling bravely-: "Thanks Mr. DeFazio."
FRANK: "Anythin' for Little Shirley Feeny," -loudly and randomly, but to no one directly- "I've known this one since she was a little girl; now lookit her; she's a grown-up ladies."
-Shirley's smile fades into an expression of horror-
on a squeal as we dissolve to....-
(ACT 4: Knapp Street building, exterior, evening; we zoom in on the girl's basement window as incidental music plays)
SHIRLEY -VO-: "So what exactly are the rules again?"
(Cut: Int. L&S' Appartment; Shirley is sitting on the couch in a simple black linen dress and playing with Boo Boo Kitty)
LAVERNE -OS-: "I told ya; first one to bolt on her date wins the Elvis album."
SHIRLEY: -miserably-: "I'm gonna lose."
LAVERNE -reappearing; she's dressed in medium-casual outfit that's deliberately casual-: "But Shirl! My pop's yer soulmate!"
SHIRLEY -almost near tears-: "You don't need to rub it in, Laverne."
LAVERNE -taking pitty on her-: "Aww," -She sits down and wraps her arms around her friend- "If you don't wanna go out wit us, I'll tell Pop that you wanna go bowling."
SHIRLEY: -teary-: "I don't wanna go bowling, either!"
LAVERNE: "It could be worse, Shirl; Squiggy could be yer soulmate."
-Shirley's tears dry instantly-
SHIRLEY: "Don't say that again. Don't EVER say that Again!"
LAVERNE: "I was just tryin' to cheer ya up."
SHIRLEY -pushing away from her friend-: "I'm beyond that now." -sighing-: "What I wouldn't give for two handsome, smart men to walk through that door right now-
(The Door slams open, revealing Lenny, in a red plaid jacket and bearing a rather large corsage. )
LENNY: -nervously-: "Hi!"
SHIRLEY: -looking up at the sky-: "This is all just some colossal joke, isn't it?"
LAVERNE -coquettishly-: "Hey Len...Aww, ya got me another corsage? The first one ain't even dead yet."
LENNY: "Yeah, well a lady shouldn't go a day without flowers,"
LAVERNE: "Awww!"
LENNY: "After all, they make anythin' look pretty!"
-Laverne winces-
LAVERNE : "Just gimmie that."
LENNY: "Nah, lemme pin it on..." -they struggle over the blossoms a bit before Lenny manages to get ahold of it. He gets to the task of pinning the corsage on...they're interrupted as Frank walks in through the open door-
FRANK -shouting, as he sees his daughter with Lenny-: "Whattreyadoinwitmymufffin?!"
(The sound of his voice shocks Lenny into stabbing his thumb with the tip of the corsage's pin; his hand almost gets caught in the spaghetti strap of Laverne's dress.
Comedy incidental music to the cut)
