YIL that the ‘rooting tooting’ dialogue mentioned in the New Yorker profile was actually in the script

One thing that really stood out to me when comparing the S4 script to the actual episodes was how different Roman acts in the finale when Shiv changes her mind.

It's more or less the same after Kendall lies about the waiter, but up until that point the script has him actively pushing Shiv to vote Kendall in and he actually seems angry at her:

Whereas in the final scene, he's quiet in the background for most of the initial argument and this is literally the only thing he says to Shiv about the vote:

He's not telling her to decide one way or another, and he's not trying to change her mind (he probably knows that she won't). He literally just wants it to be over.

It's such a good change and feels way more in line with where he is mentally at this point. He's clearly uncomfortable with Kendall being in charge in both versions, but the final one reflects how his headspace has changed since the funeral and leads much more naturally into his 'it's all bullshit' bit at the end.

Literally what the fuck, first-season Roman?
