==Notes==
* In the original script treatment, the scene between Molly and Prairie played out differently. Prairie (identified only as a little girl) laments her woes to Molly. Her father gave her a carpentry set for her birthday, and when she showed them to her friends, they laughed at her and said a carpenter is a boy's job. Molly recalls facing similar criticism when she wanted to become a letter carrier, but despite what people said, she believed that she could do it. She encourages her to do the same as she sings "Believe in Yourself."
