 In the original script, when Rupert and Rita meet in the diner,  there is a stranger sitting behind Rupert who flirts with Rita;  later this stranger propositions her successfully. Although he is  glimpsed in the film, it is not clear what he is doing. Another  change is that in the script, when Rupert is being interviewed by  the authorities who are looking for Jerry, Rupert is beaten, this  does not happen in the film.
