1. INT. A DRESS SHOP. A SALES ASSISTANT IS WAITING OUTSIDE THE CHANGING ROOM.
SALES ASSISTANT
Is everything alright?
CUSTOMER (VO)
Yes... it's just a bit tight.
SALES ASSISTANT TAPS HER FOOT
SALES ASSISTANT
Do you need a hand?
CUSTOMER (VO)
No, won't be a mo. There!
CUSTOMER STEPS OUT FROM THE CHANGING ROOM. SHE IS NAKED APART FROM A PAIR OF HIGH-HEELED SHOES.
CUSTOMER
How do I look?
SALES ASSISTANT
It really suits you.
CUSTOMER
My bum doesn't look big in it?
SALES ASSISTANT
Not at all!
CUSTOMER
I wasn't sure about the colour?
SALES ASSISTANT
No, trust me, it's definitely you.
CUSTOMER
And it goes with the shoes?
SALES ASSISTANT
Oh, I would say so.
CUSTOMER
You don't think it needs letting out?
SALES ASSISTANT
No, it is fine just as it is.
CUSTOMER
It pinches a bit here.
SALES ASSISTANT
Let me see. No that will give.
CUSTOMER
Okay then. I'll take it.
SALES ASSISTANT
If you would just like to get changed...
CUSTOMER
That's okay, I'll wear it to go.
SALES ASSISTANT
Certainly. And will there be anything else?
CUSTOMER
Do you have a scarf to match?
SALES ASSISTANT
Of course...
CUT TO:
2. INT: THE DRESS SHOP CHECKOUT. THE CUSTOMER IS AT THE COUNTER, THE SALES ASSISTANT HOVERING CLOSE BY.
TILLGIRL
...and if you would just like to remove your card. Here's your receipt. Thank you for shopping with us.
CUSTOMER
And thank you.
THE SALES ASSISTANT HANDS THE CUSTOMER A SHOPBAG, PRESUMABLY WITH THE CLOTHES SHE CAME IN. THE CUSTOMER SMILES AT HER AND TURNS TO LEAVE.
SALES ASSISTANT
Wait! You still have the price tag on.
WE SEE THAT THERE IS A LARGE STICKY LABEL WITH A BARCODE STUCK TO THE CUSTOMER'S BOTTOM. ASTONISHING HOW WE HAVEN'T NOTICED IT BEFORE REALLY.
THE SALES ASSITANT STEPS UP TO PEEL IT OFF
SALES ASSISTANT
There you go.
CUSTOMER
I wouldn't have wanted my husband to see that!
SALES ASSISTANT
I am sure he will adore the outfit.
CUSTOMER
Him? He never notices what I am wearing.
THE CUSTOMER WAVES AND EXITS ONTO THE STREET.
TILLGIRL (CRANING OVER THE COUNTER TO WATCH THE CUSTOMER LEAVE)
What a sensational outfit!
SALES ASSISTANT
Yes dear, though of course some women can look good in anything.
TILLGIRL (WHO IS RATHER PLUMP)
Do we have it do you know in my size?
THE SALES ASSISTANT GIVES HER AN APPRAISING AND RATHER DOUBTFUL LOOK.
END.
