Scene 1:Observation deck of the Space Needle.Laverne and Shirley are looking through one of the coin operated binoculars.

Laverne.This is great Shirl! You can see Mount Rainier from here!

Shirley(turns pale).Let's go inside Laverne.

Laverne.Why?We just got here!

Shirley.'Cuz.

Laverne.Oh,no! I know what you're gonna do,as soon as I take one step inside that door you'll turn around and grab this!No way Jose! 'Sides I still haven't checked out Puget Sound from up here yet!

Shirley(blanching green).The only interest you have in Puget Sound is in the SAILORS!

Laverne.Yeah,so what?They're..(turns to see Shirley slowly hyperventilating)..hey ya ok Shirl?

Shirley continues to turn the spectrum.

Laverne(grabs her by the hand and hurries with her to the doors).Guess you were right we'd better get inside.

Scene 2:The girls' hotel room late that night.The girls are asleep in bed.Laverne keeps tossing and turning as Shirley mutters in her sleep.Laverne finally wakes up.

Laverne(confused).Wha..?

Shirley(continues to mutter incoherently).

Laverne(trying to shake her awake).Wake up Shirl,you're talkin' in your sleep again!

(Shirley rolls over,her hands flop on top of Laverne's head,and Laverne pushes them back)

Laverne.Cut it out Shirl!

(Shirley pushes Laverne to the floor and the door opens...)

Squiggy.Hell-o!

Laverne.What the heck are you two doing here?(checks clock) It's two o'clock in the morning!

Lenny.We was wonderin' if you two wanted to take a midnight monorail ride wit' us.

Laverne.Ssssh!(points to still slumbering Shirley)

Squiggy.Well if that's the way she feels about it!

(the boys leave slamming the door behind them making Shirley finally wake up)

Shirley.What a nightmare!Laverne,I dreamt that Lenny and Squiggy...(notices Laverne on floor)Vernie why in the world are you on the floor like that?Climb back into bed this instant!Don't you realize you will never find your Mr.Right if you persist with such unladylike behavior?

(Laverne glares at her.)
