Bikini Dreams - A Paid Gig at Last!
or
Bikini Dreams - Molly's Day Off (Working titles)
A screenplay by Steve Cosmic
Draft 3, March 20, 2016
COPYRIGHT - CONFIDENTIAL
Some changes will be made........
A farce, or spoof. No story development or explanations are needed. Nothing has to make sense.
It is essentially a monologue. Most of the words do not have to be exact, so complete memorization is not needed. Improvisation in some places is good. The lead actress is welcome to put her own interpretation into each segment.
Molly Mockingbird, 20's, is a small town girl who has moved to the big city. She is naive, but not dumb. She is taking acting classes and working as a waitress, and hoping for her big break. She is in her apartment most of the time. The fact that it does not necessarily look like an apartment that a young female might have, doesn't matter. Nothing matters, except each moment that she is in. She knows the camera and a cameraman are present, but she talks to the camera like it is a person. It is just a regular day for her. Parts of her day is very ordinary. She is proud that she looks good in a bikini.
NOTE: Molly knows she is likable, or even lovable, just being herself. She knows this is like a reality show, where she just has to be herself, doing what she would do in an ordinary day, and explaining what she is doing as she does it. This is true for the whole movie.
NOTE: If parts of this you don't want to do, let me know and maybe we can work around it. I am flexible. I am also keen to do this soon.
ANOTHER NOTE: Pamela Anderson wore bikinis and it helped her get rich and famous. It is the simplest way for an unknown actress to get attention.
(This does not have to be memorized exactly. The actress can just read each scene over a few times before we shoot each scene. KEY WORDS will be taped up by the camera to prompt her memory for each segment)
THERE WILL BE NUMEROUS SHOOT BREAKS WHERE NOTED, while the next bit is discussed or rehearsed, and while KEY WORDS are taped up by camera.
Exterior shot of patio window with slow zoom in. Then a slow zoom from the far end of room towards kitchen, where Molly is fussing around making a cup of coffee. Cut to kitchen, shots of Molly's hands on kettle, cup, milk, instant coffee jar while she makes a cup of instant coffee.
Molly walks into dining area and sits down. She is speaking to the camera. 99% of the time she speaks directly to the camera. She is wearing a bikini. She has her phone on the table. There is a cup of coffee on the table.
MOLLY
Hello, I'm Molly Mockingbird, and I am an aspiring actress. I'm from a small town and now that I am in the big city, I am taking acting classes and going to auditions. I work as a waitress. When I want more tips I show more cleavage.
Today is my day off, and I am going to share my day with you. The director told me to just talk to the camera like I was talking to you. .......I can talk to you, but you can't talk to me. Well, you can, but I can't hear you! (laughs) What are you saying? Hey, I can't hear you! (laughs)........ The director said I can do anything I want! Boy, is he in for a surprise!
(ALL of her talking is done fairly slow, with occasional pauses while she drinks her coffee)
I'm going to show you my valuable antiques and talk about them.
(Close up of an amputee Barbie Doll with one leg, an Elvis vase, and an Elvis/car bracelet)
SHOOT BREAK
And I'm also going to sing and dance and lots more. But I know some of you are just watching because I'm in a bikini! (laughs) And I'm going to be in a bikin car chase scene. The director say's that's never been done in a movie before. I'm really excited to do it. I can't wait.
OK, I'm going to show you my antiques. They are worth a lot of money. Over a hundred thousand dollars altogether.
Molly reaches for the amputee Barbie doll and holds it up for the camera.
This is a genuine ampute Barbie doll. I bought it at a garage sale. The guy said it was worth $25,000. He was asking $2000 and I said I couldn't afford that much. He said he would lower the price to $100 if I slept with him. Well..... hey I saved.... (thinks for a moment) $1900!...... So anyway.... here's my amputee Barbie. They only made a few, that's why it's so valuable. They started making them after females started joining the army and some of them got their legs blown off. They thought they would sell good but they didn't. Now they're collectors items.
I think war is so bad, don't you? Like why do they have wars anyway? I mean really. Like why do they really have wars? People can get hurt in wars.
I feel sorry for poor Barbie everytime I see her. I'll be glad to sell her actually. I'm going to take her to the Antiques Roadshow for an evaluation. If any of you guys out there want to buy her, let me know. I might let her go for just $20,000. I think it would be fun to be on the Antiques Roadshow, don't you? Maybe I'll wear my bikini. Well, I don't know if they would let me.
I'm out of coffee. I'm going to make some more.
SHOOT BREAK.
(She goes into kitchen and makes more coffee. Camera goes into kitchen and follows her while she makes it etc. She walks back into dining area)
OK, now back to my antiques. I am so excited about all of the money I am going to make with them. I'm going to buy a car and probably quit my job. .......I'm on the verge of getting fired anyway..... I keep screwing up. I'm not a very good waitress. .....Actually, I screw up at most jobs. (pause) And I'm going to fly to New York and take some of the best acting training. That will take quite a bit of the money. But it will be worth it. I can't wait till I get my break and get some really high paying acting gigs. I'm tired of being poor. (pause, sips coffee)
(She reaches for the Elvis/car bracelet..... close up on it)
SHOOT BREAK
This is a genuine Elvis car bracelet. Apparently they were a big fad before Elvis got fat and strung out on drugs. The guy wanted $3000. He said it was worth at least $40,000, maybe even $50,000. Well, I didn't have $3000 but I got a big discount from the guy for sleeping with him. He charged me only $50. Before you say anything, just think about how much I saved and how much I'm going to get!
I like watching old Elvis movies. Ha, that's funny isn't it? Like, I couldn't say I like watching new Elvis movies could I? Hey! Seen Evis's new movie? (laughs) I saw the new Star Wars and I didn't think it was that great. I saw it in 3D. 3D doesn't seem that great anymore. Apparently someone was going to make some porn in 3D but I never saw any. But can you imagine it? (small laugh)
OK, my last antique is a genuine Elvisio Vase. (she holds it out for the camera) See the pictures of Elvis? And here's how you can tell it's genuine....... (she holds bottom of vase so it can be seen on camera.... "Genuine Elvisio" is written on the bottom)
It's worth $50,000. I got it for just 50 bucks. Yeah well, you guessed it. I had sex with the guy again. Well so what? I'm going to make way over $100,000.! You'd probably have done it too. .... (pause). I had a busy afternoon. (grins)
Close up on the 3 antiques. Molly takes pictures of them and holds some of the pictures up to the camera. She places her phone on the table with an antique picture showing.

SHOOT BREAK
FADE IN
I'm waiting for some calls from my agent. It's about 3 paid gigs. One is for a big movie with a big star. I forget his name. It's an English guy with normal ears. I will be wearing a bikini at a pool scene.
The second possible gig is for a music video. I'll be dancing in a bikini. And the third one, I"m not sure what it is. But they're all paid gigs. I've spent a lot on acting classes. I've done some student films for no pay. It would sure be nice to get paid.
She sips coffee for a moment and thinks.
Pamela Anderson got famous by wearing bikinis. And she made a lot of money too. I want to try to be like her.
My mom doesn't want me to be an actress. She says I should be a hairdresser. She didn't want me to leave home yet either. She said "you can't even cook Kraft Dinner". Which was true. But I learned. Speaking of which, I was going to cook some for lunch. Do you want to watch me? I'll show you how I make Kraft Dinner.
SHOOT BREAK
She walks into kitchen and gets out KD and starts boiling water.
When I was learning how to make it I always measured the water like it says on the box. But then I thought it doesn't really matter, you're going to dump the water out anyway, so why measure it? Now I don't measure it.
She walks back to kitchen table while water heats.
Now we'll have to wait for the water to boil.
She looks at her antiques and touches one.
My antiques are going to make a lot of money and change my life. The New York acting classes will make a big difference. Maybe I'll be in a movie with Brad Pitt. Though he's kinda old now. Of course if they ask me I'll do it. I'd even do a love scene. If I make Angelina jealous I'll get a lot of publicity.
(pause)
Let's see if the water is boiling.
She walks into kitchen. Close up on water, almost boiling.
Sometimes I stir the water but you don't really have to. (stirs water, opens box of Kraft Dinner, stirs it and so on.... random bits of talk....)
You have to stir it when you first pour it in, or else it will stick to the bottom. I like to stir it.... usually I'm thinking about how it tastes when I stir it. (beat) But today I'm also thinking about getting a paid gig. It will be my first paid gig for acting if I get it.
SHOOT BREAK
She walks back to the table and sits down, and looks at the clock in her phone.
OK, it has to cook for 7 minutes. It's been about a minute, so 6 minutes more. ...........I don't know what to say now...... we've got 6 minutes.... ok, what can I say?
She blurts out random bits of trivia. Perhaps something funny when she was a child. Something funny in high school. ? She likes her acting teacher? Some of the girls in her class aren't very friendly? One time one of them.... etc? Any bits of random chat, it doesn't have to make any sense. She knows she is just filling a few minutee.
She looks at her clock. OK, time to check the Kraft Dinner.
She walks into the kitchen.
SHOOT BREAK
She stirs the KD. She pours it into a strainer in the sink and then back into the pot. She ads margarine and milk.
I don't measure the margarine or milk any more. I used to. Now I just guess at it.
Close up on pot as she stirs. She ads the seasoning package and stirs. She puts a serving on a plate. She can talk about how much she wants, saying anything.
Hmm, smells good. (and any other talk)
She walks to table with plateful and fork, napkin, sits down.
OK, well now you get to watch me eat. Not very exciting I would say. Are you getting hungry watching me?
She eats a few forkfuls, sometimes not looking at the camera, other times looking at the camera.
I think this must be boring. The director says he can make it more interesting in editing.
CUT TO: Close up of her plate and boobs for a few seconds.
I don't know how this could be made interesting.
CUT TO: Close up of her plate and boobs again for 2 seconds.
She gets her phone and takes a picture of her Kraft Dinner. She shows picture to camera.
I'll put it on facebook later.
She eats for about a minute and a half, with the occasional word or comment.
Would you like some? (looks at the cameraman)
CAMERAMAN
No thanks
Molly finishes eating and takes her plate into the kitchen and nukes a cup of coffee or heats up her coffee and returns to the table. Camera follows her. She may talk a bit. She returns to the table and sits down.
Close up on coffee cup as she sets it on table.
SHOOT BREAK
OK, what should I talk about now?....Oh, I know, I have to take some photos of myself in bikinis for my agent.
She takes 3 pictures, trying to make each one a bit different. She holds up her phone to show each picture.
I have to take more in my new bikinis.
She reaches to the floor and lifts up a bag and takes out two bikinis and sets them on the table. She shows them to camera.
Which should I wear next? Do you want to watch me change? (laughs) Well, OK.
Molly walks into the kitchen, which has a divider between the kitchen and the dining area. The divider is such that in one part of it she is visible only from her shoulders up. She changes into a different bikini with only her head and shoulders visible. She comes back to the table area.
DId you like watching me change? ha ha.
She takes 3 more pictures as before. She talks a bit. Shows pics to camera.
OK, next bikini.
She walks back into kitchen and changes as before.
She has put on a new top and forgotten her bottom. She takes a step toward the dining area but hidden by the kitchen post and yelps out....
MOLLY
Ah.....!!! I forgot my bottom!!
She puts it on, hidden as described. She walks into dining area. She takes only two pictures this time, with chat, showing pics to camera. She sets her phone down with her last picture visible. She sits down.
Close up of her phone on the table with a bikini pic visible.
SHOOT BREAK
There is a knock at the door. Molly turns towards the door and calls
Come on in!
Marla, her neighbour from across the hall walks in. She is wearing a bikini and carrying her phone. She pauses as she enters the room, surprised at the lights, camera and cameraman.
MARLA
What's going on?
MOLLY
We're making a movie. It's about a day in my life. I'm waiting to find out about 3 acting jobs. You can watch if you want.
Marla walks over to the the chair, and sees two bits of lighting gear on the chair. As she moves them they clang together and make a loud noise. She sheepishly looks at the camera and caneraman and Molly.
MARLA
Sorry......
She puts the two pieces of lighting gear on the floor making a noise again. She sits down.
MARLA
Sorry.......
Molly grimaces
MARLA
Hey, cool vase. I've got one like that.
MOLLY
You do?
MARLA
Yeah, I got it at Wal Mart. It was on sale for $12.95. The regular price was $19.95
Molly is shocked. Her mouth opens a bit. She is speachless.
MARLA
How much did you pay?
Molly is still in shock.
MOLLY
I don't want to say. ....It's a long story.
Marla stares at Molly, wondering what is next in the shoot. Molly clears her throat. She knows she has to carry on.
MOLLY
OK, ...... well, as I said earlier, I'm waiting for three calls about 3 paid gigs.
Her phone rings. Close up on phone. She answers it anxiously.
SHOOT BREAK
MOLLY
Hello? .......... The pool scene..... I have to dive off a diving board? My hair would get wet...... Plus I can't dive or swim very good....... OK...... ... Well I hope I get the music video job or the other one...... OK...... thanks.
Molly looks at Marla, the cameraman and the camera as she hangs up. Marla is looking at her. Close up on Mollie's face. She has just had two disappointments.
OK, let's just get on with this shoot. I almost feel like puking.
CUT TO:
Marla is sitting. Marla give many different looks at Molly and what she is doing. She looks at the antiques.
(These looks will be cut in later in the movie at various times. )
Sometimes she looks interested, then bored, then curious. She looks at her phone for text messages. She holds some of her hair in her hand and looks at it. She yawns. She smiles at a funny bit that Molly does. She laughs. She looks bored again. She looks at her phone again. She sits up straighter on her chair. She slouches a bit. Then crosses her legs. Then uncrosses them. etc etc.
Marla looks at Molly standing as she says she got a good deal on the Body Blade.
Molly stands up..... she sings a song.... she is not on camera as she sings, this is done to get more looks from Marla who is watching and listening to her sing. Overall, Marla is interested in the song and likes Molly's singing. She applauds and says
MARLA
Bravo! Great! What a cool song! (hands clapping)
FADE OUT.
The next scene is very short, and shot now, but it is out of sequence. It will be edited in later.
SHOOT BREAK
FADE IN
Marla looks at her phone and gets an important text and wants to make a call.
MARLA.
I have to go now. Good luck with your movie. (looking at Molly) Bye. ( she then looks at camera and camera man) Bye.
She gets up and leaves. Molly speaks as she is leaving
MOLLY
Oh, see you.
(Marla is gone now)
She's my neighbour from across the hall.
I can't believe the Elvis vase is only fucking worth 12.95! (fucking will be bleeped out .... bleeps are funny!)
I had sex with that guy and still paid him 50 fucking bucks! Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck.
Well, at least I've still got these other antiques. They're worth a lot of money.
Close up of the 3 antiques. Molly handles the Elvis bracelet.
FADE OUT
There will be a break in the movie shoot at this time. We will quickly set up a green screen, and both actresses will pose for some photos which will be used to make posters and promo pictures.
This is done at this time so that "Marla" can be dismissed and leave.
We then resume shooting the rest of the movie.
(NOTE: SOME of the following scenes will be put in before Marla "leaves". Just a few. The order will be decided upon during editing. )
FADE IN
Molly is demonstrating a new exercise gizmo. (A "Body Blade".... see youtube for demos. ) Molly does not call it a Body Blade.... she refers to it as new exercise equipment. Marla is watching.
MOLLY
OK, I'm going to demonstrate this really cool exercise equipment. I bought it on ebay for 40 bucks. I know for a fact they are worth a hundred. Really. A hundred. Or even more!
OK, this is how it works. She demonstrates the different ways to use it, using it in about 4 different ways, talking about it as she uses it....
After about a minute you really start to feel it. It flexes your muscles hundreds of times per minute. It really works, I've been using it for a month now.
I can really feel it now.
You should try it etc.
(This will be 2-3 minutes total)
What did you think of that? I know I got a good deal on it, for sure. (she looks at Marla as she says the last line)
I'm going to find something else to do now.
CUT TO
Marla sitting and watching.
FADE OUT
FADE IN
SHOOT BREAK
Marla is still watching. Molly is sitting then stands up. She has a cowboy hat in her hand, and she will be singing in a "country voice".
Ok, I am going to sing a song. It's a country song so I'm going to wear a cowboy hat. I forget who wrote it. Maybe it's that girl who grabs her crotch on stage all the time. I forget. Anyway, here it is.
She gets ready to sing, and then decides to move the table a bit to give herself more room.
I need a bit of room so I can move a bit.
She moves table and gets into position. She clears her throat. She sings slowly, country style.
(Song title, Don't Drop the Baby)
She sings a capella. Music will/may be added later. The song may be changed a bit. The actress can change the song a bit.
When I was just a babe of one,
And my sister was thirteen,
She was holding me in her arm as she walked,
When she suddenly got a phone call,
It musta been an important call,
Cause she kinda forgot about me,
She talked and I wiggled and fell on the floor,
She had to cut off her con-ver-sation.
I just wouldn't stop cryin',
I had bumped my head on the floor,
It changed me comp-letely,
When I got older I turned into a whore.
So don't drop the baby,
Or she'll turn out like me,
I've had hundreds of boyfriends
I don't know all their names,
I can't hold a job and I'm late on my rent
Oh don't drop the baby, or she'll turn out like me,
No don't drop the baby or she'll turn out like me.
Marla applauds.
Shot of Molly taking her hat off and throwing it in the corner.
(For the Body Blade scene and the song scene there will be cutaways to Marla as she watches)
(Marla leaves... ... this was shot before)
SHOOT BREAK
FADE IN
Molly is in the kitchen, and she nukes a snack and a cup of coffee. She walks out to the table and sits down.
MOLLY
I didn't want to tell Marla about the Elvis vase and how much I paid. I can't fucking believe it. I fucking slept with him! I wonder if there is a way to un-sleep with someone. I'm going to search on google later. Maybe there's a way...... Fuck! ..... Fuck fuck! (bleeps)
...... OK, where were we. I dunno. .... Oh, my agent wants some bikini pics for the music video audition. So I'm gonna take some.
She pauses for a moment.
Excuse me a minute.
She runs into the kitchen and opens a drawer and grabs a chocolate bar and returns and sits down. She furiously opens the chocolate bar and gobbles down several big bites.
I'll feel better in a few minutes. I always keep some chocolate handy for emergencies.
She gobbles another bite and then gets up and take some selfies of herself. After each one she holds her phone up to the camera so it can be seen. She makes comments.... what do you think? How about this one? etc etc
She sends the pictures to her agent by email.
OK, I'll send them to my agent now...... click... they're sent. I hope they work and I get a paid gig.
She finishes eating her chocolate bar and stares off into space.
Fuck!
FADE OUT.
SHOOT BREAK
FADE IN
Molly walks in carrying a cup of coffee and sits down. She sips her coffee, looks at the camera, looks at the cameraman, like she doesn't know what to say next.
There is a knock at the door.
MOLLY
Comeon in!!
Marla enters, wearing a different bikini (If she has more than one that is suitable) Marla pauses at entrance to dining area. She has her phone and is wearing heels.
MARLA
(shyly) Can I be in the movie?
MOLLY
It's my movie. It's about me.
MARLA
I'll get you more viewers.....
MOLLY
How will you do that?
MARLA
I've got bigger boobs.
Molly looks over Marla
MOLLY
(semi silently to herself) hmmm
Well OK. Get a chair and you can sit here.
(points to where she wants the chair)
Marla gets a chair and sets it near Molly facing the camera and sits down.
MOLLY
Not quite so close.
Marla, in sitting position, lifts her weight from chair and moves it over a few inches.
MOLLY
(indicating with her elbow) More.
Marla moves away a bit more. She does not like having to move and it shows on her face. She sits at
the new spot.
MOLLY
I'll tell you when you can talk........ And when to stop talking.
Marla nods reluctantly.
MOLLY.
OK, now where was I? (2 beats) Well, you can talk now.
MARLA
(completely unprepared).... ah..... ah..Well I'm Marla. I'm from New Zealand. Since I've moved here, lots of people say I have an accent. But in New Zealand, no one says I have an accent. Well except for that German girl I used to work with. She should talk. She's the one with an accent. (Originally written for a girl from New Zealand. This will be changed to suit the "Marla" who is picked.)
MOLLY
Say something interestting.
MARLA
(distracted)... Well... umm..... Now I work as a lingerie model. I get good pay when I get a gig. Plus it's just for photos and they can't tell I have an accent. Actually I don't think I have an accent. (Again, this will be changed to suit the "Marla" who is picked.)
Molly's phone rings. Sometimes she looks at the camera, or Marla, but often she looks around as she speaks)
Hello. (beat) You want to know what kind of condoms I carry with me? Why? (beat) They're called Satisfiers. They come in colors. (beat) My favorite? Well, blue. Blue has always been my favorite color. But any color really. ( beat) .... well, I carry about 20. I like enough to last a week. (beat) It's not like I'm a little tramp or something. ... Sometimes you need two..... Or 3.... (grins)
Actually I'm in the middle of making a movie. Yeah.....a movie. A movie about me. This guy wanted to shoot me on my day off.... like what I do at home and stuff like that. (beat) It's been kind of fun. (beat) I got to sing the song I wrote!
I think they're going to put it on youtube. The song I mean. I wore my cowboy hat. Or should I say cowgirl hat? I dunno, whatever. (beat) Yeah........ (beat) ..... maybe (beat) I'm not sure. (beat) I finished it.
(beat) Bigger than that (beat) About twice as big. (beat) I finished it yesterday. (beat) Kraft Dinner. I took a picture and put it on facebook. Look on my page you'll see it. (beat) Oh. (longer beat) I didn't kow that. (beat) You're kidding! He said that? (beat) Wow. (beat) And then what did he say? (beat) You're kidding. (beat) Wow, you're kidding. (beat) Wow. (beat) That musta been something. (beat)
While on the phone Molly looks bored sometimes, other times not. She sips her coffee. She plays with her hair. Maybe she brushes her hair.
She mostly ignores Marla but gives her an occasional look
I never saw it. (beat) I heard it wasn't that good... (beat) (yawn) OK. (beat) Yeah. (beat) I thought he was nice actually. He's cute. (beat) He didn't smell bad when I saw him. (beat) OK. Yeah, we'll I'll show you the movie when I get a copy. OK. Bye.
Molly hangs up and looks at camera.
That was my sister. She just got out of prison for robbing a gas station with her boyfriend.
MARLA
Wow, that is really something. I wish my sister was more interesting. Maybe I'll email her and tell her to rob a gas station.
MOLLY
OK, that's enough. I'm tired. I think I'll have a nap now.
You should go now. I'll let you know if the editor doesn't cut out all of your parts.
See you later.
MARLA
OK. See you later. At least I can say I was in a movie.
Marla gets up and as she is leaving she says...
MARLA
Bye.
MOLLY
Bye.
Molly gets up and walks past camera to couch.
SHOOT BREAK
CUT TO
Couch. Molly walks into frame and lays down on the couch, putting a cushion behind her head and a blanket over herself.
I'm just going to sleep now. (beat) There's nothing to see. Really. (beat) OK, do it if you want. I'm just going to sleep. She closes her eyes. She falls asleep.
The camera stays on her as she sleeps. She moves a bit, then more. A bit later she is thrashing around somewhat, then still for a bit, her mouth opens, her head flops to the side towards the camera, then more thrashing, then still. (NOTE: This will be speeded up later during editing. It will look funny, especially if there are some odd expressions on her face when she is not thrashing)
Molly wakes up, flips the blanket off and stretches.
That was refreshing. I had some dreams. In one dream I dreamed I was getting an Academy Award. And I dreamed I was eating Kraft Dinner. I forget what the other dream was. It might have been about being on a roller coasting and it is going backwards. I have that one a lot. (beat)
I have to go to the bathroom.
She gets up and walks past the camera, out of frame.
FADE OUT.
SHOOT BREAK
FADE IN
Molly walks in and sits down. Her phone rings. She gives an excited look to the camera.
Hello....... the music video? ..... oh. OK. Thanks for letting me know. .... What about the TV
commercial? ...... OK, I'll be here....thanks.
Rats! More negative news. Excuse me a sec...
Molly walks into the kitchen and gets more chocolate as before, and returns to the table. She opens a chocolate bar and starts eating
Lucky I have lots.
She eats more chocolate.
FADE OUT
SHOOT BREAK
FADE IN
Molly walks into frame from beside the camera, and sits at the table. She has a bowl of crackers in front of her. She is wearing a different bikini and running shoes. She finishes eating a cracker.
My agent says I have nice legs. My legs look better when I'm wearing heels. Well, everybody's legs look better when they are wearing heels. (beat) Ha, except guys. Though I did have one boyfriend who looked not bad in heels. Anyway, I'm going to put on heels and show you my legs.
She takes one of her running shoes off and puts on a high heel shoe. She stands on the heeled foot and "models" her leg.
Now, compare that to how I look without heels.
She puts her weight on her other foot and "models" her leg.
OK, I'm going to alternate, and see which you like better.
She does this several times, with chatter....
OK, on my heel foot.... have a look.... now on my non heel foot.... have a look (repeats all again)
OK, I think it is obvious I look better with heels. Well, one heel, ha ha. You know what I mean.
She sits down and eats a cracker.
CUT TO
Molly's legs.
FADE OUT
SHOOT BREAK
FADE IN
Close up of Molly's hand putting back half a cracker into the empty bow.
I've had enough crackers. I don't want to turn into a BBW. You know what that means? Big Beautiful Woman. It's a nice way of saying fat. Same as curvy. Curvy means fat too, in case you didn't know. But I don't know which is more fat though. Maybe it's about the same. My sister is fat even though she watches Oprah all the time. (beat)
Molly looks at the half a cracker in the bowl.
Ah what the heck, it's only half.
She eats it.
My agent says I should keep my day job or even train at something so I can get a better day job. I was thinking of aerobics teacher. I've been working on a routine. Want to see it? (beat)
She looks at camera man.
OK. I'll do it.
She pushes the table out of the way and centers herself and takes a deep breath. She closes her eyes, and starts her routine. She is wearing one heel and one running shoe! She does it like an instructor....trying to get the viewer to join in. "Rotate your right arm, 10 times, here we go..... 1, 2 etc, now left arm. Raise your right knee... now your left knee.... rotate your body..... keep your stomach flat.... lift your arms like your lifting a heavy weight.... for 10.... 1, 2, 3 etc. now your right arm.... 1. 2, now your left arm.... 1, 2, 3 ... etc etc
She does her routine for 2-3 minutes.
(Music may be added later, maybe not)
She sits down and sips her coffee. She puts coffee cup on table.

Molly walks into frame carrying a broom and a dustpan. She is wearing one high heel and one runner.
I have to clean this place up a bit.
She sweeps floor, shot from several angles. The floor is very dirty. Close up of her sweeping the broom onto the dustpan..... she fills the dustpan with about two cupfulls of diret. She does this twice. She puts the broom and dustpan in a corner.
Molly will sweep up excessive dirt and dust and trash from the floor, including very excessive amounts of dust and dirt and a fish head too! She puts the waste basket in the corner and smiles happily. Then she gets a spray can of air fresherner and sprays it and smiles again. Some improv comments. This will all be demonstrated by the director.
I gotta do my dishes too.
She walks into kitchen, still with one heel on and one runner and washes her dishes, wipes the top of the stove and counter. Talks a bit. Close ups on her hands working.
You know what's really good? Fried Kraft Dinner. If you fry left over Kraft Dinner it tastes absolutely awsome. I hardly ever have any left over though.
I feel better when my place is cleaner. (while walking)
She walks out of frame.

Molly stands at doorway between kitchen and dining area. Still wearing one heel, one runner.
Are we going to do the car chase scene soon? (looks at director) Later? (beat) OK. (beat) Well I know. I want to practice being a ring card girl, in case a gig like that comes up. (beat, she looks around) What can I use?
She finds a folded cardboard box she can use as a big card. She sets it on the table for a moment and sits down. She puts on her other high heel.
I would look really stupid wearing just one high heel.
There is a knock at the door
MOLLY
Come on in!!
Marla enters in bikini and heels with phone. Molly motions for her to sit down. Molly sits.
MOLLY
I'm going to practice my ring card girl walk.
MARLA
I've been a ring card girl!
MOLLY
Oh..... OK, well you can watch me.
Molly parades around in a small circle holding up the card. Marla watches. She is anxious to show how she can do it, because she knows she can do it better. Molly stops.
MARLA
Do you want to see how I do it?
MOLLY
... OK.....
Marla takes card and parades around better than Molly was doing. She knows she is better at it. Molly knows it too.
MOLLY
OK. Good. You can sit down now.
I don't know if I'll get a call for that or not. You have to be prepared. (some long beats) I don't know if anyone will watch this movie or not. (she looks at director) Maybe they will. We have to finish it anyway.
MOLLY
I don't know if the director will keep your part or not. Probably not because this is not about you. You can go now, see you later.
Marla leaves, speaking as she leaves
MARLA
Bye.
Molly does not answer.
Maybe I should change my bikini. I think we should fade out here. (looks at director) (then looks at camera)
OK, fade out
(meaning she wants to stop now, she really wants the shot to fade out)

Molly is standing by the table with two hula hoops, one medium sized and one smaller.
OK, I'm going to show you a trick I can do with a hula hoop. OK, watch this...... I need more room.....
She moves a chair, and moves farther away.
OK, watch this... she rolls the hula hoop towards one side of the camera. And, she puts a back spin on it, so that it goes a certain distance and then returns to her. She does this several times with chatter.
She may do it in the opposite direction too. She talks a bit here and there.
She may try using each hula hoop in the usual way, for just a few seconds.
I haven't used a hula hoop for years. Some people are good at it. There's contests and everyting. Well, bye again. (raises and lowers shoulders while looking at the camera. She is getting tired of the shoot and wants it to end.)

Molly walks into frame carrying a Monopoly game, and sets it on the table and sits down.
Here's something I do when I"m bored sometimes. I play Monopoly by myself. (beat) I'll show you how.
She sets up the board and money and cards and so on, for two players. She sets up two chairs, both facing the camera. She goes out of frame for a moment and comes back with a baseball cap and a pair of glasses or light sunglasses. She sits in one chair, ready to start.
NOTE. The above set up etc is all speeded up in editing. Her voice is speeded up to so it sounds funny. Much of the following action is also speeded up, except for moments that are noted, where it is at normal speed, and her voice can be heard as normal.
She wears the baseball cap backwards, and rolls the dice and moves her piece. She moves to the other chair, takes off the cap, and wears the sunglasses, rolls the dice and moves her piece. She goes back and forth about 8 times. Then the motion is at regular speed.
MOLLY WITH CAP
I think I am going to win.
She moves to other chair and takes cap off and puts glasses on
MOLLY WITH GLASSES
You won't win.
The action goes back to fast speed, with her changing back and forth between the chairs. The players accumulate lots of property, houses and hotels. It does not have to be done like indicated by the dice and positions on the board. Because it is fast, viewers can't tell what is really happening. Houses and hotels that were not properly bought are put on board.
Back and forth for a while longer. Then regular speed. Molly with cap wins, and gives thumbs up signs and high five signs.
MOLLY WITH CAP
Yeahhh, I win!
MOLLY WITH GLASSES
You cheated.
MOLLY WITH CAP.
Yeah well, so did you. (she takes her cap off). (beat)
So that's how you do it. It's kinda fun. One time I had a tournement, and it was best out of 7. I had 7 games in a row. ( 2 beats) Sometimes I wear my cowboy hat. (2 beats) One time I wore a pullover sweater. It was OK except it slowed the game down a bit. Plus I was too hot half the time. (beat) It's getting to be less fun than it used to be.
Molly takes her cap off and puts glasses on. She does not change chairs.
Bye. (sort of fake smile....)

Molly comes into frame from kitchen with 3 oranges.
MOLLY
I'm going to juggle 3 oranges. I used to be a good juggler.
Molly starts with one orange and then juggles two.
MOLLY
I told the director I could juggle 3. He bet I couldn't and said I would have to take my top off if I couldn't. Well I know I can.
Molly keeps trying and can almost juggle 3 but not quite. She stops with the 3 oranges on the table. She looks towards the director and thinks for a moment.
MOLLY
I'm not done yet.
Molly walks forward and picks up a tape packaging machine and walks back into frame. The viewer cannot see what she is doing, but she is taping the 3 oranges together. She finishes taping, and throws the 3 oranges up and catches them easily.
MOLLY
There! See? Now I don't have to take my top off. (beat) Maybe I would have anyway. (half beat)Actually I probably would have. (half beat) Maybe I will at the end.
(Looking at director) Can we do the bikini car chase scene now? (looks, beat) Yes? Good. I want to make movie history, doing something that has never been done before.
She stands up and looks toward the door....
We go out now? ... Should I bring a sweater?......

Nearby quiet residential street. Parking is permitted on both sides of the street, which creates a one lane situation in the middle. Traffic moves fairly slowly. The director is with Molly in a part of the street, pointing towards the area she will be running. He turns to point towards where Molly will wait for a car to come, and when his back is to her, Molly make a funny know it all face and sign with her hand. When the director turns towards her she suddenly pretends she was listening closely all the time. Their voices may be heard faintly, though their motions are enough for the viewer to figure out what is happening.
CUT TO:
The street, camera looking towards where the director and Molly were standing before. A vehicle comes towards camera and past camera with Molly running in a funny way as if she wanted to catch the car. The actual run is only 4 or 5 seconds. She does this 2 to 4 more times. (we want 3 good takes for the movie)
She calls at the car as she runs...
MOLLY
Wait! You have to sign something! We're making movie history.!!
CUT TO
Molly running in middle of the street behind my camera dolly, with no traffic. She does a funny run as before.
(I hope there are only two takes needed of the running dolly part)
MOLLY
Wait! You have to sign something! We're making movie history!! (several beats) Wait! We're making movie history!! You have to sign!....
The dolly running part will be about 15 to 20 seconds long.... dolly will slow down.... Molly slows to walking speed, as she walks back home.
MOLLY
(puffing a bit) It's not what I fucking thought it would be, that's for fucking sure....... (fucking will be bleeped out)...... (5 or 6 beats.... walking) Kinda fucking stupid actually....... (4 beats) But then I guess playing Monopoly by myself isn't so fucking brilliant either...... (beats) Oh well, at least I can say I was in a car chase scene in a movie. (beat) Not everyone can say that. (2 beats) I'll put it on facebook.

Molly walks in and sits down after the car chase scene.
MOLLY
I guess this is about the end. (looks at director) Have you got enough to make a movie? You think anyone will watch it?
Molly looks partially away for a bit. Her phone rings. It's her agent. Molly is excited. She listens as she hold the phone in one hand, and points at it with her other hand and looks at the camera....... good news is being heard)
MOLLY
Wow! ......That's great! ......... OK........... You'll text me the call time and location...... ..... (beat) I'll be there for sure!!! Thank you!!
Molly puts her phone down and looks at the camera.
MOLLY
I got a paid part in a commercial!! It's $500 for the day and I get food too! It's for a restaurant commercial. I don't have to memorize any lines. (beat) I'm going to be a tomato. (beat) Finally all of my acting classes have paid off!
For $500 I would have memorized lines. Well, .... but of course tomatos can't talk anyway.

When Pamela Anderson started out there were no online opportunities. Youtube, Netflix and
Amazon didn't exist. Now, things can happen faster. I think if Pamela Anderson was starting out now, she would jump at a chance to be in this movie. What do you think? Are you going to jump at it or wait and miss out?
