Part 2

(Shirley and Lenny kept leaning in toward each other, closer and closer, until their lips touched. They had a long, soft, passionate kiss. And then Shirley punched him in the stomach.)

Shirley: (pulls Lenny up and shoves him toward the door) Okay, go on, goodbye, don't come back till Laverne comes home tonight. Get out! (Lenny starts to walk out the door) Uh, Lenny? (Lenny turns around) Thanks for saving me.
Lenny: Aw, hey, don't mention it. To anybody. At all. Especially not to Laverne.
Shirley: I won't. Aw, Len, you've got lipstick all over your mouth. she takes her fingers and rubs off the lipstick) There, it's gone. Okay, goodbye, get out! she shoves him out and slams the door. Shirley walks over to the couch and starts pacing) I can't believe that, I mean, I just can't believe it! I can't believe me. Oh my Lord, Laverne's gonna kill me. No, wait, I'll just kill myself. And to think, I kissed Lenny Kosnowski! Oh no, Carmine's gonna kill me!

(Laverne walks in)

Laverne: Hi Shirl!
Shirley: (turns around quickly and puts on a sort of fake smile) Hi!
Laverne: Well, I finished down at Cowboy Bill's. So, what happened between you and Lenny while I was gone?
Shirley: (startled) Huh?!
Laverne: What are you so nervous about?
Shirley: (in her high pitched voice) Nervous?! Am I acting nervous?! Because I'm not nervous! No, not in the least!
Laverne: Is something the matter, Shirl?
Shirley: (calms herself down) No, nothing!
Laverne: Shirl, I know you probably better than I know myself. Somethin's wrong.
Shirley: Okay, alright, but don't do anything crazy. I... I, I miss Carmine.
Laverne: Again? Shirl, he's gonna call you from Anaheim from his mom's house and from the competition. He's coming back in 6 days and bringing you a surprise, no!
Shirley: Last surprise he brought me from a vacation was Lucille Lockwash, remember her?
Laverne: I'm gonna go take a shower and when I get back you better not be so depressed about nothin', okay?
Shirley: Yeah, go ahead, I'm just gonna.... sort my socks.

(Laverne gives her an odd look and runs up the stairs)


Next setting: A while later, Laverne comes downstairs dressed in the dress that she wore to Frank and Edna's wedding.

Shirley: Ooh, don't you look nice?
Laverne: Thanks!
Shirley: Got a date with Lenny again huh?
Laverne: Yeah! You know, he is so romantic Shirl!
Shirley: Don't I know it! (realizes what she just said) Uh, what I mean is, that's sweet! Well, I hope you have yourself a real hot time.
Laverne: Did that just come out of your mouth Shirl? (Shirley gives her an odd look) Well, I'd better be goin'. (Laverne starts out the door) Don't wait up, okay Shirl? (she leaves)


Next setting: Lenny's apartment, their is a table set for two, with candles. The doorbell rings and Lenny runs to get it. He opens the door and he and Laverne just sort of look adoringly at each other. He takes her arm and leads her to the table. He pulls out a chair for her and seats her. He seats himself.

Laverne: Aw, Len, this is beauti-ful, this is just beauti-ful.
Lenny: Thanks, Laverne. And I cooked this all myself.
Laverne: My boyfriend, the chef. The hunky chef.

(they kiss over the table when suddenly her scarf falls on the candle and catches fire)

(Laverne screams bloody murder and Lenny runs around the room panicking. He grabs a bucket that was in the corner of the room filled with water and throws it all over Laverne. She stands there soaked.)

Laverne: What was in that bucket?
Lenny: Oh, we had a leak from the upstairs bathroom and....

(Laverne screams and runs out the door to her apartment to take a shower)


Next setting: Laverne & Shirley's apartment

(Laverne bursts in the door and runs upstairs screaming her face off)

Shirley: Laverne! Laverne what's the matter?! (suddenly, it hit her like a bowling ball... maybe Lenny told her. Just then, Lenny runs in the door screaming "Laverne!" He starts to run upstairs when Shirley grabs his collar.) Okay, what did you tell her?!
Lenny: (trying to push Shirley away) Get offa me Shirl!
Shirley: You told her! Why would you do a stupid thing like that, huh?!
Lenny: (pushes Shirley's hands off) What are you talkin' about? I didn't tell her nothin'! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a girlfriend upstairs who's soakin' wet, okay? (He starts upstairs)
Shirley: Why is she soaking wet?
Lenny: Her scarf caught on fire and I threw the water on her and... why am I telling you this?! (he runs upstairs yelling "Laverne!")


Next scene: A while later, Lenny is waiting downstairs for Laverne who's getting dressed. Lenny decided to take her out to dinner. She comes downstairs in a purple shirt, white skirt and white boots. (The kind of boots that she wore in Sing, Sing, Sing)
Laverne: Alright Len, I'm ready to go. (he jumps up off the couch) I look awful.
Lenny: No ya don't! Ya look beautiful!
Laverne: Nah. Hey, where's Shirl?
Lenny: Oh, she went out for a while.
Laverne: You mean we got the place all to ourselves?

(Lenny nods and Laverne gets a big grin on her face)

Lenny: Laverne, sit down.
Laverne: (still with a big grin on her face) Alright.
Lenny: Well, umm, we've been goin' steady for a while, you know, and you're like the best girl I've ever met, ya know?
Laverne: Yeah, Len?
Lenny: Well yeah, and see, uhh...... we've been goin' out a long time and know a lot about each other.
Laverne: Yeah, we do know a lot about each other.
Lenny: And anyway Laverne, I'm not too good with words but you're the prettiest, classiest, funniest person I know and I love you with all my heart and I want to be with you forever and ever and (he pulls out the ring) I'd like ya to marry me.
Laverne: (through tears) Aw Len! Yes! I'll marry you!
Lenny: (surprised) You will?!

(Laverne nods and he lifts her off the couch and hugs her. He uses his hand to wipe away her tears of joy. She rests her head on his chest and they stand in each others arms. He kisses the top of her head and plays with her hair. He thinks to himself how much he loves her, and how he could have ever kissed her best friend.)
