Neil Kellerman is supposed to be a few inches shorter than Baby Houseman.

Baby does not like her father saying that she will attend Mount Holyoke College.

Marjorie encourages Baby to like Neil. Marjorie suggests that Neil looks like Fabian Forte, a star of teen movies in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

The restaurant scene ends with Lisa standing with Robbie alone and laughing.

The place where the guests dance to the band music is called "The Playhouse".

 As the guests dance, the band is supposed to play an original (composed for the movie) song titled something like "I Love When Your Eyes Close Whenever I Kiss You".

I never have heard of "the black button with the white equal sign (the official button for the Civil Rights Amendment)".

The band's performance was supposed to feature a Black trumpet player.

Neil calls the dance people "a necessary evil".

Baby does not participate in a magic show. Rather, she participates in a goofy "game" in which she and another guest are blindfolded and try to feed each other sour cream.

(Freudian interpretation: The sour cream subconsciously symbolizes blow-jobs in the woods.)

After the sour-cream game, Baby and Billy talk backstage.

Page 17

Baby sees Johnny alone with a woman in the woods. Perhaps he has received a blow-job from the woman.

The movie audience (but not Baby) sees that the woman is Vivian Pressman.

Billy is carrying only one watermelon.

Page 18

Billy tells Baby to go back to "The Playhouse", which is the place where the guests had been dancing to band music.

Billy says the band is playing the song "Moon River". See my series of articles about that song.

A Scene 22 -- which was in a previous version of the script -- is omitted in this script.

The "dirty dancing" party takes place in "the staff quarters".
