LOL. I forgot I posted this.
Long story short, they basically took a hacksaw to Norah's plot.
- Her boyfriend Randy was this sweet-but-dumb guy who she got tired of and dumped. He had a lot more dialogue in the script, whereas he only had a few sentences in the film. Randy had some thing about rabbits, I don't remember.
- After she and Lynn have a falling out, Norah tried visiting her one last time at the clinic. Lynn basically told her that Norah was bad for her and wanted to be left alone. Norah left, but not before giving Lynn the pictures her mother had kept. After Norah left, Lynn threw the pictures in the trash.
- Norah had an interest in Koko, the famous gorilla who knows sign language. She talked about it a lot with Lynn. In the end, when Norah takes off, she's actually heading to California, where Koko is. When she arrives, she went to Koko's cage and they were signing phrases to each other.
So that's about it. Maybe a couple of other things, but that's the gist of it.

I don't think that would have added anything important to the movie. It just reiterates what we already know. Norah's "boyfriend" was a loser. Lynn didn't want to have anything to do with her mother, even after her death. And she was hurt by the reason Norah became her friend and realized Norah didn't have any romantic feelings for her. Norah's interest in sign language is unnecessary. She has no interests, no real friends, no life because she's still holding onto her mother's death. This is the purpose of the road trip.
