"One Strobe Over the Line"
Cut Scenes:

In the second version of the script, dated 31st July 1990, Helen has an additional line towards the start about God being a woman.

Edie is a little better at resisting taking the pills (she still does).

Sam is able to stall the first photo shoot a bit longer - the script also specifies that his single-photo shoot turns out well.

Sam's outrageously bad flirting is missing, the photo shoot at Karl's loft specifically has "NBC peacocks" present.

The bird release is later in the same scene.

Al only asks Sam once to take a break (Sam immediately does as Al suggests).

Sam resists Edie's sexual appetite for longer until she says "What's the matter? Don't you want to do it?! Or can't you? Maybe if I was a boy!", which prompts a (subtly homophobic?) Sam into action.

The discussion about sleeping through an entire day is absent and instead Sam and Edie just talk about breakfast.

Al opens the final photo shoot with a reminder to Sam of the stakes (and later he threatens to turn Snowball into a rug).

Helen and Sam have an impassioned argument at the end about how awful the former is, replaced in transmission by the much more impactful moment of Helen ranting at everyone who slowly walks away from her.

The leapee is Karl Stone, not Karl Granson.

The Combine

Sam takes Edie home. There is a view of her street and we see Sam and Edie entering Edie's house. Sam is carrying Edie's bags.

Edie: You can just throw that stuff anywhere. (To the cats) Hi. Hi.. I'm home now. OK? (To Sam) you like cats?
Sam: Little ones! In fact I had two of them on the farm where I grew up, Donder and Blitzen.
Edie: You grew up on a farm too? I though you were from Queens.
Sam: Well what I meant to say was that when I used to visit my cousin on his farm in the country he had cats, in the summer, well winter too.
Edie: When I moved here I had to have something that reminded me of my family and home. That's why I love Wooster.
Sam: Doesn't it get a little crowded around here with Wooster and his little friends?
Edie: (giggle) I could afford a bigger place but I am saving my money. I don't want to be a model for ever.
Sam: You are going back home?
Edie: Yeah and buy my dad all the farm equipment he wants ; maybe get him one of those new combines.
Sam: Yeah like that self propelled one from John Dear, like my cousins always used to talk about and he still does talk about them.
Edie: Then I am going to send my sister to college, she will be the first Lansdale to go.
Sam: That's great! What about you, what are you going to spend on yourself.
Edie: Oh I don't know, maybe I'll go back to school and become a veterinarian, that way I can look after Wooster when he's old and grey.

Styrofoam

This is the start of the scene which culminates with Snowball attacking Edie. Edie is standing on the bridge.

Edie: Somebody PLEASE bring me some coffee with 2 sugars.
Sam: Right.
Al: But not in a styrofoam cup, that stuff doesn't break down for a billion years and its turning the planet into a -
Sam: In a paper cup.
Al: - styrofoam junkyard. It comes straight from hell.
Sam: I got one coming.
Al: OK.
Sam: She looks like she is getting tired Al.
Al: Yeah, the pussy cat doesn't look too good either. How many more locations you got.
Sam: 3 plus the waterfall.
Al: I'd pray for rain.
