Week 3 - A Cool Fuel Duel

INT. KITCHEN - DAY

JOHN (early 40's) and LINDSAY BIRNBAUM (late 30's) serve their daughter MAYRA (6) breakfast while persuading her to endorse their respective vehicles.

John slides a stack of pancakes down to Mayra.

JOHN

See, Mommy thinks her car is special because she can charge it on an iPod dock.

LINDSAY

(applying copious syrup to MAYRA's breakfast)

Mommy's car runs on lightening! Isn't that neat?

JOHN

(cutting the pancakes for Mayra)

Not really though.

LINDSAY

Is lightening electricity?

JOHN

Yeah, but-

LINDSAY

And does my car run on electricity?

JOHN

Sure, but that's not-

LINDSAY

Then my car runs on lightening!

Lindsay slides Mayra a big ice cold glass of milk.

MAYRA

What does your car run on, Daddy?

JOHN

My car runs on exploding dinosaurs!

MAYRA

Daddy wins!

Week 2 - Baby on Bird

INT. DOCTOR'S OFFICE - DAY

DR. BRIDGES observes the test results and turns back to face his concerned patient SANDRA.

DR. BRIDGES

I'm not sure what to say. Everything seems fully-functional here. Is it possible that the problem lies with your sexual partner?

SANDRA

Oh, no! I don't have a partner. I've decided to go the stork route.

DR. BRIDGES

The stork route?

SANDRA

Yes. I've heard that babies are often delivered to caring mothers free-of-charge by well-trained storks?

DR. BRIDGES

Yes, well, that's a common misconception.

Week 1 - MacLeod Realty

INT. MODEL HOME - DAY

ANGELA and RICK pace the length and width of the garage counting silently to themselves. REALTOR KELLY observes the practice impatiently.

ANGELA

And do you happen to know the square footage of the garage?

KELLY

(consulting her notes)

It should be an even 400.

RICK

Is that enough for two SUVs?

KELLY

Well, I guess that depends on what you're calling an SUV.

ANGELA

We both drive Highlanders.

KELLY

In that case, I think there can be only one.
