INT> KITCHEN

We see MICHELE& MEGAN at table, KAREN enters fixing her breakfast.

		
				
				KAREN

		Where’s Mom? Is she up yet? I need to ask her
		For fifty dollars for the WASP concert tickets.

				MICHELE

		Do you think Mom’s gonna let you see a band that 			is Known for throwing raw meat at the 
		Audience?!

				

				KAREN

		Yeah!, I just won’t tell her about that part!
		Where is she?

				MICHELE

		In the bathroom she put on the products last night
		And she wanted to see the results

				KAREN

		Wonder if they were any good?

We hear KRISTA scream from the bathroom.

				MEGAN

		I guess not.

KRISTA runs from the bathroom. Her hair is pink, her face is a bluish color with sparkles and her lip are yellow.

				MICHELE

		What those products did!

				

					MEGAN

		Doodlebop! 

Krista gives her a dirty look.

			
					KAREN

		It’s the style nowadays!

					KRISTA

		It’s pink you idiot! I look like a deranged
		Oompa Loompa!  That Jerry, I’ll murder him!
		I have the TV crew coming at 3PM and I look
		Like the bus from The Partridge Family! (She 
		Starts sobbing)

			KAREN

		I guess this is a bad time to ask you to
		Lend me fifty bucks!

KRISTA gives KAREN a I don’t think so look.

				MEGAN

		Karen wants to see guys throw raw meat at her!

				KAREN

		She’s so funny! (Quietly) Shut up.

MEGAN sticks her tounge out at her!

Phone rings.

					KAREN

		Hello? Horror Hair salon!….Oh Jerry! What?
		No she’s right here. She’s in a colorful mood!
		The products, did it do anything for her 
		Complexion?…You could say that.

KRISTA swipes the phone out of Karen’s hand.

				KRISTA
				(Happily)

		Jerry how are you? Oh good, no rare diseases
		Or anything like that. Oh me, Up to the usual 
		Standards. Red hair, blue face, nothing you 
		Can’t be sued for. What? Let me put it this
		Way, You‘d better get your rear-end over here
		Now! Or else you‘ll be talking like Mickey Mouse! 		Understand!! (Hangs up)

				

				MICHELE

		Strong choice of words Mom. But stay calm don’t
		Get upset. 

Long Pause 

				KRISTA

		I’LL KILL THAT MORON!!!!!

She lets out a scream.

				

				MICHELE

		Mom calm down. Let’s look at the products you used
		Where are they?

				KRISTA

		In the bathroom.

MICHELE gets them.

				
				KRISTA

				KRISTA
				(Furious)

		Oh you‘re flirtin‘ with death!

				
				KAREN

		Sorry Mom, My fault, first thing to do 
		is call the company and find out what
		This stuff does and how to get it out. Chele
		Give me one of the bottles so I can call the one
		Eight hundred number. 

					
				MICHELE

		Okay here they are.(Hands Karen one.takes

		Hair dye number….(Quickly Puts bottle down)

				KRISTA

		Isn’t hair conditioner or facial moisturizer!  			(Michele tries to Sneak away) Michele Ann get back 		here! Where’s the Items I’m suppose use on TV?!

		Ummm…..I put those items in car by mistake.

				KRISTA

			What?!!

				MICHELE

		I’m sorry! But you told me that was the 
		Stuff Karen bought! It’s an honest mistake!

Krista begins chasing Michele around the house

				KRISTA

		You made a mistake?! No one plus one equals 
		ten is a mistake This was just plain stupid!
		Never in my whole life would I suspect you to
		Do something this dumb! Karen maybe, not you!
		Now I used red hair dye on my hair instead of 			conditioner, and blue hair dye on my face thinking 		it’s a Skin moisturizer! What do you have to say
		For yourself young lady?!

				MICHELE
				(Unsure)

			Oops?

			
				KRISTA

		Oops! I look like a smurf from hell and
		All you have to say is oops!

				KAREN

			(Off the phone)

		Okay Mom it’s not permanent. It takes three
		Weeks before it fades away,

				

				KRISTA

		Three weeks! I don’t have three weeks!

				KAREN

		Also you have to lufa every night.

JERRY enters in his pajamas and robe

				
				JERRY

		Okay what’s going on here! I call you to see
	     If you’re ready to shoot the commercial, and 
		I get rushed over here at Seven in the morning
		In my pajamas! There better be a reasonable
		Explanation for this!! (sees Krista) Good God!

				

					KRISTA

		You moron! You put the boxes next to each other!
		And I used the wrong stuff!

				JERRY

		What are you blaming me for? It is not my fault!
		True, I put the box down, but how was I suppose to
		Know what was in the other box, huh, explain 			that?!

				KRISTA

		You’re right it isn’t your fault. (They glance at 
		Michele)

				MICHELE

		What?! Well don’t look at me okay! It’s an honest 		mistake!

				

					KRISTA
				(Trying to collect herself)

		Look it’s nobody’s fault. But let’s get one
		Thing clear right now! I have two certain people 			that better think Of a way out of this fast! Or 			I’ll use this stuff On them and we’ll be a 				matching set!

				KAREN

		I got it! (They all turn taken off guard) Mom,
		Are you gamed for anything?!

				KRISTA

		Does it involve wearing a potato sack over my
		My head to Get out of the commercial?

				KAREN

		No Mom.

				
				KRISTA

		I’ll do it!

Karen grins as she looks at them.

FADE OUT:

FADE IN

INT.LIVING ROOM

We see The camera crew there. Ready to work. The Director, SAMMY BOWMAN is waiting, he’s the flamboyant flakey type. A table is set up in front of the Kitchen with a sign and a huge cut out of Krista holding the product banner says, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder with Supersexy cosmetics!”

				SAMMY

Michele quickly covers Megan’s mouth and laughs nervously

We then see Megan at the coffee table drawing a beard and horns on the picture with marker.

Jerry exit’s the bathroom

				JERRY

		Sam Krista’s ready.,

				SAMMY

		Wonderful! Let’s go time is money!

				MICHELE
				(To Karen)

		Hope this works.

				KAREN

		Me too! Hold your breath.

We see KRISTA enter very fake make-up and wig.

				MICHELE
				(to Karen)

		Karen, what did you do?

				KAREN

		Is it too much?

				
				MICHELE

		Too much?! She looks like Dee Snider of Twisted
		Sister.

				SAMMY
			   (To Krista)

		 Wait! Stop the cameras! What’s this? The circus?!

				KRISTA

		Is something wrong?

				SAMMY

          No I like to have Bozo the clown in my commerical!
		Little heavy on the pancake,baby! Make-up?!

				KRISTA

		I’m fine really! (The make-up person tries
		To powder Krista. She refuses)

We see the make-up person pat the greasepaint down. It then comes off on the powder puff. We see a big blue dot on her face. Krista quickly turns away the wig comes off in the hairstylist hands the hairstylist screams.

SAMMY’S eyes open wide.

					JERRY

			Oh no!  (takes a valium) Why me?! 
			It’s always me lord!

					KRISTA

			Okay, I give up! I had an accident!
			I used some cheap kids brand, instead of
			Yours and it tinted my face blue! Okay! 
			I’m sorry for all this trouble.

She sits down 

				SAMMY

			I like her she’s got spunk and 
			Honesty! 

				JERRY

			I agree!

				SAMMY

			You Jerry make me look masculine!
			Okay wrap it up!

				JERRY

			Wrap it up?! This is insane! Is everyone
			Against me?! I need an some support, where’s 			Megan!!

				SAMMY

			We shoot again in two weeks!

				KRISTA

		Can we make it three?

				

				SAMMY

			Why three?

				KRISTA

		It takes that long for this stuff to wear
		Off!

				SAMMY

		You got spunk! Just be glad I’m not hard nosed! 			Make that three weeks everybody! Just imagined 
		I had a chance to film a gorilla who paints
		Abstract art, but no I had to tape a commerical
		With the Addams Family! (To Jerry) I should have 
		Become a dentist like my mother wanted me to, but 
		No, I had to be a director!

They exit.

				JERRY

		That ended nicely don’t you think?!

				KAREN

		Well the plan almost worked.

				KRISTA

		You know Karen, I should have wore the
		Potato sack! Next time you have an idea
		Honey do us a favor..keep it to yourself!

				MEGAN

		Mommie you looked better with the blue face
		Instead of this make-up!

				KRISTA

		Thanks baby.

				JERRY

		Hey That Sammy was a nice guy! I don’t see any
		Trouble with this whole situation, in fact I find 
		It kinda funny!

They all give him a shut up look.

He starts moving nervously and laughing uneasy, then stops.

Others start laughing.
Fade out.
