__ Commercial Break Over __
[We are back in the main area of the store. As the camera focuses on the pair
at the counter- Larry and a gorgeous woman with long soaking wet white hair -
we notice that the bathroom's door has been replaced and that there are now
doughnuts and other food items on display.]
Larry: Why, hello, Miss Vivian. How's the weather been?
Miss Vivian: Oh, it's been a bit too dry for my tastes�my lake is getting
smaller by the day. {She smiles, revealing perfect white teeth, and bats her
emerald green eyes.}
Larry: Sorry to hear that, Miss Vivian. What shall I get you?
Miss Vivian: Well, I'd love a cup of orange juice. I just can't seem to get
any orange juice where I live.
Larry: One cup of orange juice, coming right up! {He turns to the orange
juice machine and grabs a hot serving cup. He then turns with a rather grand
gesture and overfills the cup. After he has done that, he turns around and
hands Miss Vivian the cup.} That'll be� {Punches in the code for "Large OJ"
on the cash register} 95 cents, with tax.
Miss Vivian: {Hands Larry a soaked dollar bill} Here. Keep the change.
{Walks out of the store and off into the distance.}
John: {Sticks his head out of the kitchen door} Hey, didn't you notice that
her hair was wet?
Larry: (confused) Huh?
John: {shaking head sadly} Never mind� {He glances up. He is surprised by
what he sees. He beats a hasty retreat back into the kitchen}
<<camera makes a 180 turn>>
[We are now looking out through the door. Approaching is a little old lady,
rather on the fat side, wearing a red thong bikini. She apparently is the
owner of the red Jaguar�]
Larry: [looks up, still in an trance] < gasp of shock> [snaps out of his
trance] (to nobody) From the oceans of beauty to the parched deserts of
repulsiveness�
Old Lady in Bikini: (angrily) What did you say, young man?
Larry: Nothing, Ms. Murphy.
Ms. Murphy: (ranting) Nothing! The chocolate eclairs are taking over the
world, and you say it's nothing!
Larry: (with some exasperation) What would you like, Ms. Murphy.
Ms. Murphy: (calmly) Two chocolate eclairs, please. (ranting again) I just
can't believe you people! {takes the paper bag containing her chocolate
eclairs and hands Larry some money. Leaves store, still ranting.}
[We see Ms. Murphy's back. The bottom half of the thong bikini is coming off.
We cut away just as it falls off.]
Larry: <gack> {His eyes practically pop. He runs into the bathroom.}
[As Larry runs into the bathroom, a man with very bad grooming skills walks
in, carrying a rusty toolbox. John pops out to take over the counter for
Larry, who will be taking time off for illness.]
John: Hello, Johan. Could you please fix the <loud flame thrower-type sounds,
drowning out the rest of John's request >
Johan: What?
John: You need to fix the toilet. It's been erupting flame whenever somebody
flushes it�
Johan: That's broken?
John: Well, one has to say it's not normal�
Johan: Most toilets are broken�flushing water! What idiocy!
John: {Looks nervous} You aren't going to go into a rant, right?

it, commercials! __
