Sample of script:
Max is on stage, working with boards, hammers his fingernail, screams
Max: Eyooowch! . . . Now that smarts! . .. Stupid lumber!
tries to set up the lumber again, it all falls down
Max: OK, this is just impossible!
Larry comes on stage
Larry: Sounds like heavy-duty construction going on here! What’s happening here Max?
Max: What’s not happening more like Larry! . . Trying to do a makeover on my house.
Larry: Good thing, nice to fix the old place up, (looks around), good solid place looks like, just needs a touch here, little upgrade there.
Max: Yeh, but every touch I make seems to be one step back. . . Maybe I am just not the Extreme Home makeover type.
Larry: Nonsense Max, I never met a person who couldn’t be a decent wood-butcher with a little trying.
Max: Wow, thanks Larry, makes me feel good to know someone has confidence in me.
Larry: OK, let’s start at the beginning, where are your plans?
Max: Plans?
Larry: Yes, blueprints.
Max: Blue?
Larry: Well the sketch of what you want your new home to look like.
Max, smiles: Now that I’ve got! . . (pulls a little piece of crumpled up paper out of pocket), see here is our dream home!
Larry, squints, holds the paper up, turns it around, looking at all angles:
Ummm, mind helping me a bit with this . . . What is it?
Max: I just kinda rough sketched out what we want in a dream house.
Larry: Ok, I can make out the front of the house . . kinda . . but what’s this thing here?
Max: That’s my wife, sorry I never was real good at drawing stick people.
Larry: OK, but there is no floor plan . . .
Max: Floor plan?
Larry: Yeh, like where the rooms are, the kitchen, living room . . .
Max: Oh they are on the main floor.
Larry: OK, that’s a start. . but where on the first floor?
Max: This is more complicated than I thought! . . Funny, it seems so simple on TV.
Larry: On TV?
Max: Yeh, on Extreme Makeover – Home Edition.
Larry: But on the TV show there is a crew of professionals who move in and do the job for you.
Max: Think if I phoned them they could drop by?
Larry: Likely not in time for your project.
Max: Rats! . . I thought maybe they would send me and my wife off to Disneyland when the tough stuff was going on.
