I can see why that line was changed nowadays BUT this to me points out one of the main things that a lot of Vals miss. She so often is played now as a sex kitten. (didn't see City Center's...was she there?)
I think from what I've gathered from recordings and books is that Pamela Blair played her more as a provocateur (the girl in pigtails with the mouth of a truck driver.) Just saying tis and ass would have been shocking in 1975 for a girl like her. I think that playful quality makes the character work especially in the interactions with Sheila.
