Ok, this is the final scene of the script, that was completely deleted from the final aired episode.
FADE IN:
INT. DAVID'S OFFICE - DAY
...sitting behind his desk...staring out the window...his back to us....and SUDDENLY we HEAR A KNOCK.....and....
THE DOOR
...BURSTS OPEN......Maddie making her way in......something behind her back......
MADDIE: Happy Anniversary to you......Happy Anniversary to you.......Happy Anniversary....Maddie and Dave....
ON DAVID
....swiveling around to her....a giant shiner on his eye where she clocked him the night before....
ON MADDIE
...stopping dead in her tracks.....seeing it for the first time......
MADDIE: Eeeeeeewwwww!
DAVID (a bemused smile): Little early in the A.M. for champagne, isn't it?
MADDIE: Absolutely.....
(pulling not a champagne bottle; but an icebag out from around her back)
MADDIE: Yes.....just one year ago you slimed your way into my life and pleaded with me to go into business......
DAVID: I did that?
MADDIE (handing him the bag): You did that.
...and there is a MOMENT of uneasy SILENCE...and then....at the same time....
MADDIE: Sorry about that black eye...
DAVID: Sorry about this whole mess.....
...and the TWO OF THEM look at each other...and smile.....
DAVID: Well.......
MADDIE: Well.........
ANOTHER ANGLE
.....as she TURNS and starts out of the room.......
ON DAVID
....as he returns to the chair behind his desk.....
MADDIE (O.C.) Now.......
...and David looks up to see........
MADDIE
....standing in the doorway.....
MADDIE (cont'd): ...about that raise......
ANOTHER ANGLE
....as David rises quickly from his chair......
DAVID: That's alright. I don't want a raise. Any raise.
MADDIE (moving towards him): But you were right about that.....you deserve a raise. (and then) Besides...this time we'll handle it in a professional manner.....(demonstrating) Rock....scissors....paper.
DAVID: Rock, scissors, paper?
MADDIE: Rock, scissors, paper.
ANOTHER ANGLE
...as the two of them LEAN OVER the desk...ARMS EXTENDED.....
DAVID: What are the stakes?
MADDIE: If you win...you get the raise you asked for.....if I win......you get the five percent.
DAVID (nodding, double-checking): Rock breaks scissors.....scissors cuts paper...paper covers rock....
MADDIE (nodding): On three....
ANOTHER ANGLE
....and WE WATCH as they pump THEIR hands in unison....
DAVID: One.....(the hands go down)
MADDIE: One...(the hands go down)
DAVID: Two...(the hands go down)
MADDIE: Two (the hands go down)...
DAVID: Three.....
MADDIE: Three....
...the HANDS GO DOWN......
ON HANDS
......as they BOTH STAY CLENCHED FOR "ROCK".....
ANOTHER ANGLE
....and we WATCH as they PUMP their HANDS IN UNISON....
DAVID: One.....(the hands go down)
MADDIE: One...(the hands go down)
DAVID: Two...(the hands go down)
MADDIE: Two (the hands go down)...
DAVID: Three.....
MADDIE: Three....
...the HANDS GO DOWN......
ON HANDS
......as they BOTH come down as "scissors".....
ANOTHER ANGLE
....and we WATCH as they PUMP their HANDS IN UNISON....
DAVID: One.....(the hands go down)
MADDIE: One...(the hands go down)
DAVID: Two...(the hands go down)
MADDIE: Two (the hands go down)...
DAVID: Three.....
MADDIE: Three....
...the HANDS GO DOWN......
ON HANDS
...as they are both flat palmed for "paper"......lying on top of each other.....
ON THE TWO OF THEM
.....looking at their touching palms.....
ON HANDS
...as Maddie suddenly changes her paper to a rock.....
ANOTHER ANGLE
...to include them both as.....
MADDIE (turning; starting for the door): Looks like you won.
DAVID (not understanding): Wait a second.....
ON MADDIE
...suddenly realizing she's caught....
MADDIE (turning to him): Let go of my rock....
ANOTHER ANGLE
...to reveal David holding her fist in his hand....
DAVID: What about profit sharing?
THE END
