Wondering what got NBC's new prime-time drama Sisters into so much hot water with the network programmers? The show's May 11 premier episode was supposed to open with a steam-room scene in which three siblings discussed multiple orgasms. But NBC, citing advertiser concerns, snipped the dialogue from the final cut. Herewith, the steamy girl talk viewers never heard: Frankie (Julianne Phillips): Georgie, you look great. Georgie (Patricia Kalember): For my age. Alex (Swoosie Kurtz): Your age! Try feeling like a teen queen when your daughter comes home from school and asks you if you've ever had a multiple orgasm. Frankie: What did you tell her? Alex: To go to her room. She's 14! Georgie: I think it's great she can be so open with you. Alex: Oh really? It's easy for you to say. You have boys. They'll never ask you anything. Frankie: So? Have you? Alex: Have I what? Frankie: You know-ever had a Alex: That's a little personal! Even for sisters. (pause) I had five once. New Year's Eve, 1981. Georgie: What a memory! Alex: What a New Year's. Georgie: I had three once. I think. Alex: Teddy told me she once had 25. But we all know how she lies. So, Frankie, how many have you had? Frankie: Gee, I didn't realize it was getting so late! I've got to get to the office! (She leaves.) Alex: Hey! That's not fair! We told you! Woman (off camera): Eleven. Another (off camera): Nineteen. Another: Seven.
