Script Sample
LADY TREACLE
Ugh! I don’t know why they insist on these ridiculous hats at the palace! It’s like they want us to look like cake toppers!
BRENDA
Well, I think I look like a million bucks.
GLENDA
Are you paying in monopoly money?
BRENDA
Can you just zip me up please Glenda? I think I’m going to explode.
GLENDA
Are you sure you don’t need a vacuum cleaner to get into that thing? It’s like trying to zip a stuffed sausage.
BRENDA
Why am I always the stuffed sausage?!
LADY TREACLE
Because you’re delicious, darling! Now zip up and stop complaining! The prince will never take you seriously if you don’t stop looking like you’re about to burst!
Suddenly, the hat falls off Lady Treacle’s head, landing on the floor. The fascinator falls off.
LADY TREACLE
No, no, no! This is not happening! I’ll be the laughingstock of the palace. Someone has to help me with this, or I’ll never get in!
GLENDA
Maybe just throw some glitter on it. That’s what they do on TV when things go wrong. I saw it on a DIY show.
BRENDA
Well, it’s not just the hat that’s wrong. That dress is about five years out of date! I mean are we going to the palace or the nursing home?!
LADY TREACLE
This is high fashion, Brenda! No one appreciates the finer things these days!
GLENDA
You got it from M&S.
LADY TREACLE
Exactly, high fashion! And it was cheap. You see, Marks and Spencer are doing a Collab with Pound Stretcher.
GLENDA
What's it called? Stretchmarks?
LADY TREACLE
Oi! It's actually their vintage range! You know, vintage clothing is all the rage nowadays you know. Plus, I am from the vintage era so I know what I'm talking about...
GLENDA
Vintage? More like prehistoric.
BRENDA
Honestly, with that face, you could probably get half off the dinner bill at the palace. ‘Senior citizen discount,’ you know?
The ugly sisters laugh.
