CRUNCHIE:               You know the one, where you can do anything you want to do, ride bicycles, run, skip, jog…

LOLA:                            Yeah Crunchie….like the advert.

(Crunchie smiles, pleased with himself.)

LOLA:                            I’ve got ambitions Crunchie,

CRUNCHIE:       Ooh, me too…one day I’m gonna be….bigger!

LOLA:        Yes Crunchie, I don’t just want to be bigger, I want to be the biggest! The best! I want to make changes…run the country! Like…what was her name?

TWINKLE:         When I paint my nails?

MOTHER:          No Twinkle, the time has come when you become a woman…

TWINKLE:         We’ve done that talk mother….I’ve seen the adverts.

MOTHER:          No dear not that, the time has come when you embark on a new life.

TWINKLE:         You’re sending me to Paris….mother! (she goes to hug her)

MOTHER:          The time has come for you to find a Prince.

TWINKLE:         A Prince! Goodie sounds divine! Will he be…tall and handsome?

MOTHER:          Well, so the saying goes I suppose….

TWINKLE:         Will he have eyes like Wentworth Miller?

MOTHER:          Well, I can’t guarantee…

TWINKLE:         Will he have hair like Sharukh Khan?

MOTHER:          Well if you want him to I’m sure he could….

TWINKLE:         Will he have legs like…

MOTHER:          Steven Gerrard, yes, yes!

TWINKLE:         Mother! I much prefer the Italian players legs!

MOTHER: (aside) Don’t we all!

TWINKLE:         Then I can’t wait, I’ll go and make myself beautiful……done!

MOTHER:          Twinkle, its going to take a little more than that to fix this one…first we have to find a man that’s worthy of your special beauty.

TWINKLE:         Then, I’ll go and read a magazine….because that might take a long time!

(she exits and Mother shakes her head)

DRUETTA:         A what!

DAGGER:          A difficulty?

DRUETTA:         What?

DAGGER:          A nuisance!

DRUETTA:         Oh, yeah. I suppose you’d know how that feels.

DAGGER:          What did you say?

DRUETTA:         Nothing.

DAGGER:          Everywhere I look, you’re getting under my feet.

DRUETTA:         And they’re big feet!

DAGGER:          Did you say something?

DRUETTA:         No mother.

DAGGER:          You’re always in the way, right under my nose!

DRUETTA:         And that’s a big nose!

DAGGER:          What did you say?

DRUETTA:         Nothing mother.

DAGGER:          And everywhere I turn, you’re behind me, right behind my…

DRUETTA:         And that’s a big……!

HENRY THE HERO AND RUMBLESTILLHIM

RUMBLE:          Can I help you?

HENRY:             Well I don’t know, can you help me? Am I a man that needs help?

RUMBLE:          Um, yeah….

HENRY:             (not listening) You see a man like me…is the kind of man that helps others….brave, courageous…

RUMBLE:          35 for a cut and blow dry, 40 for a cut, blow dry and style….70 will get you the complete rumblestillhim re-style extravangza.

HENRY:             (looks into wallet) I’ll just have a cut…..a man like me…

RUMBLE:          Take a seat. (covers his mouth)

HENRY:             Is this really necessary?!

RUMBLE:          Oh yeah….it’s necessary….I get this all the time, princes coming in here thinking they’re all that but this one is….something else! (Henry is struggling)

HENRY:             Will this be on for long? Only, I’m beginning to feel a little queasy.

RUMBLE:          Queasy! I thought he was brave and courageous! Just a moment sir…

RUMBLE:          I suppose I’ll give him a break, he loves his job as a prince and I love my job….as a hair and beauty extraordinairre.
