Script Sample
Sharon: Ugh, what a day! I need my beauty sleep!
Karen: You need more than sleep, love. You need divine intervention.
Sharon: Oi! Rude! I’ll have you know I’m considered quite the catch.
Karen: Yea a 15 pound Salmon! Haha.
Buttons: Oh good, you’re both here. I was just thinking, “What this peaceful night needs is a pair of honking geese.”
Sharon: Ha, we don’t take insults from Harry Potter who sleeps in a cupboard under the stairs!
Buttons: You know in London it’s called a studio apartment.
Karen: Well, whatever it is, it stinks of regret and bad life choices.
Sharon: Speaking of which—where was Cinderella tonight?
Karen: Yeah! We got home, and she was nowhere to be seen. Slacking off I bet.
Buttons: She… She was here all evening! Yep! Doing housework!
Sharon: Hmm… Sounds suspicious to me.
Karen: Yeah, like the time you told us that putting mayonnaise in your hair made it shinier.
Sharon: It does!
Karen: No, it doesn’t. It just made me smell like an egg sandwich.
Buttons: Well, it was an improvement.
Sharon: Oh, talking off food, I am starving!
Karen: I told you we should have stopped off at [local takeaway] for a takeaway on the way home!
Sharon: Oh…I’d love a takeaway
Buttons: I’d love for you to be taken away!
Karen: Shut it Butt-fluff!
Baron Skint enters with a book.
Buttons: Ah Baron, I thought you had gone to bed.
Baron: Lady Shade threw me out again. So, I was just reading this new book. Its brilliant!
Buttons: Oh, what’s it called?
Baron: It’s called ‘The History of Glue!’ I can’t put it down!
Karen: Daddy it’s a good job you’re here actually! We’re going to bed! But we need you to go check for ghosts in our room!
Sharon: Yea, its all dark up there and I am not going, until you make sure it’s safe from ghosts!
Baron: Oh, girls there are no ghosts at Skint Hall!
Buttons: I am not sure about that Baron, I saw a baby ghost on the floor just the other day!
Baron: Buttons! That was a handkerchief!
Buttons: Oh yea.
Baron: Now enough of this silly talk of ghosts! Good night, everyone!
Karen: Are you not going to kiss us good night, Daddy?
Baron: [stops and sighs] Oh yes how could I forget!
The Baron walks over to Karen & Sharon and kisses them both on the cheek.
Buttons: Urgh that’s weird.
Sharon: You know you wouldn’t be able to handle a woman like me Buttons.
Buttons: Thank God!
Sharon: I’ve got a little bit more than most women
Buttons: Yea that’s the bit I am worried about.
