Gone with the...

The original script for Twister, by Michael Crichton and his wife Anne-Marie Martin, now in paperback, proves different from the film, with less grief for Helen Hunt's Jo (her parents are alive) and more grit for Jamie Gertz's Melissa (to make Jo jealous, ''Melissa...enters languorously, yawns, stretches, pretending she got laid.''). It also gives Jo's storm chasers more fun, as when Larry rents a new pickup.
