Chinese Theater

Students: We’ve graduated! We’ve graduated! Woohoo!

Marcy: I’m so happy that we’re finally done with high school! Now that graduation is over, my parents can’t control me anymore.

Friend: Come on. Aren’t you exaggerating?

Marcy: No, my parents always made sure that I spent every minute with my nose stuck in a book.

Friend: What are you doing after graduation? Some of us are going out tonight. Want to come?

Marcy: I can’t. I think that my grandmother is coming over for dinner.

Friend: Oh well. See you later then.

Marcy: Bye.

Marcy: I’m home!

Mom: Marcy, why are you home so late? Didn’t I tell you there are important people coming over for dinner?

Marcy: Who? Didn’t you say that this is a family dinner?

Mom: It is a family dinner. They’re company that will soon become our family.

Marcy: Huh? What are you saying?

Mom: Oh, god! They’re here already! Quick, take a seat and please look pretty!

Mom: Hello.

Grandma: Hello.

Grandma: Marcy, this is Mr. Liow.

Grandma: Your parents and I have chosen him for you.

Marcy: Grandma! What are you saying?

Grandma: You didn’t tell her yet? Don’t worry, the marriage is still set.

Marcy: Marriage? I’m only thinking about college now and you’ve already picked out a husband for me to spend the rest of my life with?

Marcy: I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be rude, but no one has told me anything!

Mom/Grandma: I’m so sorry.

Mom: How dare you embarrass our family like that? I thought that we brought you up as a respectful Chinese woman.

Marcy: I don’t know them! I’m just want you and dad to let me go to college to study fashion. I even have several interviews for an internship.

Mom: Since when were you thinking about this? Did you even tell your father yet? This will piss him off so much!

Marcy: Not yet. But I’ll do it now before this whole marriage thing happens. I don’t want to be trapped here. I want to see the world.

Mom: Dad, get in here!

Dad: What is all this yelling about?

Mom: Your daughter has something to tell you.

Marcy: Dad, I know this will disappoint you, but I’ve decided to go to college instead of settling down and helping with the family business.

Dad: What? I built this business from the ground up so you and your family can inherit this business. You don’t need to go to college!

Marcy: Dad, I don’t understand why you’re so upset. I don’t want to be controlled by a stranger. I want an opportunity to succeed on my own.

Dad: I understand that you don’t want us to choose your husband for you. But he is very smart and will do well in the family business.

Mom: This is what I have to work with? Well, I’ve seen worse. I’m going to turn you from a sow’s ear into a silk purse.

Mom: I’ll have you primped and polished until you glow with pride. Trust my recipe for an instant bride. You’ll bring honor to us all.

Grandma: Wait and see, when we’re through boys will gladly go to war for you. With good fortune and a great hair-do, you’ll bring honor to us all.

Marcy: Look at me. I will never pass for a perfect bride. Or a perfect daughter.

Marcy: Could it be. That I’m not meant to play this part? If I were to truly be myself, I would break my family’s heart.

Mom: Fine, if you want to go to college and study fashion, go ahead. But don’t come crying back to us when you can’t find a job.

Marcy: Don’t worry, mom. I have a feeling that I’ll make it in the fashion industry. You said that you like how I designed my own prom dress.

Marcy: Hello. How are you? I’m looking for Mr. Wu

Secretary: What are you here for? Today we’re holding interviews and don’t have time for you.

Marcy: I’m here for the interview.

Secretary: Umm … are you sure? Go in then.

Interviewer 1: Who are you? What are you doing here?

Marcy: How are you? My name is Marcy. I would like to apply for an internship to work here.

Interviewer 1: Really? This internship is for Elle magazine! Are you sure you’re at the right place?

Marcy: No, I’m here for the interview.

Interviewer 1: Do you have a portfolio prepared? These are some … unique … sketches.

Marcy: I like to sketch in my free time. I even designed my own prom dress.

Interviewer 1: Unfortunately, your sketches are not good enough. I’m sorry, but you don’t fit the criteria for this internship.

Marcy: What criteria?

Interviewer 1: First of all, your dress looks like it’s from another planet. And second, you don’t fit in with our style and look.

Marcy: Thank you for your time. Bye.

Interviewer 2: Welcome to Vogue. Take a seat.

Marcy: My name is Marcy, and it is a pleasure to meet you.

Interviewer 2: Let me take a look at your portfolio.

Interviewer 2: These sketches are nothing like what we are looking for. I don’t even know what to call these sketches. They’re just really ugly.

Marcy: I’m sorry. I can go back and fix these.

Interviewer 2: Don’t bother. We’re not looking for someone like you. Good day, Marcy.

Marcy: I don’t think I can handle another rejection. But I have to get a job to show my mom and dad that I can succeed! OK, third time is the charm!

Secretary: Welcome to Fashionista. How can I help you?

Marcy: I’m here to see Mr. Han, the editor.

Secretary: Take a seat inside. He’ll be with you shortly.

Interviewer 3: How are you, today.

Marcy: Thank you for seeing me today.

Interviewer 3: Your sketches are very unique … but definitely not in a bad way.

Marcy: I am really happy that you enjoy my work. I spent a lot of time on them.

Interviewer 3: Fashionista Magazine is trying to differentiate itself from other magazines. I love your work. Would you like to intern here?

Marcy: Of course! Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Marcy: I am one step closer to success in the fashion industry! I am so glad that my work is appreciated.

Italian Theater

Marcy: Wow. I don’t remember the building being this beautiful. I wonder what they will have me do on my first day as a fashion intern.

Secretary: It’s about time! What took you so long? We have a long day ahead of us. Take this. This is what you need to do for us.

Marcy: Um, ok. What does that mean?

Secretary: Are you serious? You’re hopeless. Give me that. I’ll give you the simple task of buying coffee for the boss and me.

Marcy: Ok. That’s easy enough.

Secretary: Ok, the boss wants a large coffee with 4 and a half sugars with half and half light. As for me, I want a medium with skim and 3 Splenda.

Secretary: No, wait. Make that a cinnamon iced coffee with cream and sugar. Actually, get me a large cappuccino whipped and sweet. Got that?

Marcy: Uh, yeah. I think so.

Secretary: Incredible! Well, hurry up then. Get out of my sight and you better get it right.

Marcy: Oh, no, what will happen if I mess up? I need to impress my boss. No mistakes!

Secretary: What took you so long?

Marcy: I’m sorry, but there was a long line.

Secretary: What is this? I asked for a medium, not a large!

Marcy: I’m sorry. It doesn’t really matter, does it? At least it’s not a small.

Boss: Are you kidding? It doesn’t matter? Imagine if this was a clothing order.

Boss: What if you hadn’t ordered the exact measurement we needed. What’s the point, then? What if you had gotten a different color?

Boss: It would’ve been a complete disaster. And you think it’s not important? If you want to work here, you are to do exactly what we ask you to do.

Boss: Everything must be done perfectly. Remember, we hired you because you have talent. So prove it. Here is something for you to design.

Marcy: I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.

Boss: I hope not.

Armand: Make way for the top man of the office.

Armand: Rushing to the office now that it’s dawn.

Armand: Isn’t life good, how pleasant it is for a designer of class.

Armand: I am the luckiest, it is true to say. I am the luckiest, it is true to say.

Armand: Hi.

Marcy: Hi.

Armand: Are you new?

Marcy: Yea, it’s my first day and already I feel lost. Is it always this crazy?

Armand: Yes, it’s always this crazy. Why? What’s going on?

Marcy: Nothing. I was sent to get coffee and I got a large instead of a medium. I almost got my head cut off.

Armand: Don’t worry about her. They are lucky that you even got them coffee. Well, I have to go. Hang in there and good luck.

Marcy: Thank you.

Boss: Marcy, come here! I need you to do something and you better get this right. We just got an account with Mundo Express in Europe.

Boss: And I need you to get the catalog from the printing office. Now, remember nothing can go wrong. I’m very serious.

Boss: Do you even know what Mundo Express is about? Do you know who they are?

Marcy: Mundo Express! You mean Mundo Express who was voted #1 in fashion magazines for the most variety in…

Boss: Angelica, come here. Angelica runs the Express account. She is the most experienced and the least likely to mess up.

Boss: Don’t mess this up. I swear if this doesn’t go right, you can kiss your fashion career goodbye. But if you do well, there may be a reward for you.

Marcy: Oh, this is my chance to prove myself. Ok, I’ll do it. You can count on me.

Boss: This is your only chance.

Marcy: Yes, ma’am.

Secretary: You know, this is serious. You better not mess this up.

Marcy: Yes, I know.

Secretary: Alright, then go! You only have 24 hours.

Marcy: She didn’t tell me that. Ok, I’m going. Wait…24 hours!?

Secretary: You heard me! You’ve already wasted 3 minutes. You’re wasting time.

Marcy: Oh no. What if I can’t do this? What if I’m not ready for this?

Marcy: What if this is all a big mistake. I can’t screw this up! Pull it together Marcy, you can do it!

Angelica: So, where were you yesterday?

Armand: What do you mean?

Angelica: Well, I called you. I wanted to know if you wanted to catch dinner and a movie.

Armand: Oh, ok. Anyway, I’ll see you around.

Angelica: Oh, that’s ok. I’ll just see you on Saturday. I heard the boss is planning something.

Armand: Uh, ok? Anyway, I’ll see you around.

Angelica: Bye.

Armand: Um, yeah, bye.

Armand: Looks like you’re having some trouble there. Need any help?

Marcy: Really? You wouldn’t mind?

Armand: No, it’s no problem. Come with me. I’ll show you the ropes.

Armand: This is the dressing room where all the creative sparks come alive. These are the accessories. Try not to touch them. These are …

Angelica: There’s a lot of work to be done. Let’s go!

Angelica: Hurry up!

Marcy: Finally! It’s all done.

Angelica: Everything is ruined! Nothing is going according to plan. This is all your fault!

Angelica: If you hadn’t started working here, I wouldn’t have gotten distracted and none of this would’ve happened.

Boss: Angelica!

Angelica: Just my luck!

Marcy: Here it is. It’s what you asked me to do.

Boss: Well, it looks like you did good! I’ve got news for you. I’m putting you in charge of running the Mundo Express account.

Boss: You’ve proved yourself to be a trustworthy employee, unlike the others.

Marcy: Really? Thank you so much!

Boss: Guys, come in here.

Boss: Congratulations, team! We’ve landed the Mundo Express account. We’re throwing a party to celebrate the great work you’ve all done.

Boss: It will be this Saturday. Bring a date, friends, family, whoever. Next week there will be a fashion show and Marcy you will be in charge.

Marcy: I can’t wait to go. Oh, no. What am I going to wear?

Armand: Don’t worry, you’ll look fine.

Spanish Telenovela

Marcy: Oh my God! Isn’t this party nice?

Brother: Of course. Now I understand why mom and dad are so proud of you.

Mariano: Marcia, Hi! How are you, and who is this?

Marcy: This is my brother.

Mariano: Nice to meet you. My name is Mariano. Congratulations, I’m so excited and I can’t wait to see you on stage this weekend.

Marcy: Thank you. I’m so nervous, you have no idea.

Marciano: Why? You are very talented and without a doubt you deserve to be here. I have to meet a friend. See you later.

Brother: Well your co-workers are good people. I’m so happy for you. We must celebrate. Lets dance.

Armando: Angelica, you look great! I’m not letting you go tonight. You’ll get stolen.

Angelica: Well, to tell you the truth, I went to do my hair in the city. Fabulous place, my nails were a fortune! I live for fashion.

Angelica: You know? I’m a model and I have to take care of myself. And you know that…

Armando: Do you want to dance?

Angelica: Well okay. Let’s go.

Marcy: Well, look at you! You never used to dance when we were younger. See how nice it is to dance?

Brother: Well, I used to feel embarrassed. But I never said I didn’t know how.

Marcy: Ok little brother. Hey you want something to drink?

Brother: Can you get me some water?

Marcy: Sure, I’ll be right back.

Armando: Angelica, do you want something to drink?

Angelica: Yes. Could you bring me a diet coke because you know, I have to take care of my figure.

Armando: How horrible? I’ll be right back.

Armando: Hey Marcy! How are you?

Marcy: Yes, hi. Are you having fun?

Armando: Yes it’s very fun. Well I just wanted to thank you for the dance. Thanks.

Armando: How do you feel about the promotion?

Marcy: Well, to be honest, it feels like a dream.

Armando: Well, I have faith in you. You’ll do a good job.

Marcy: Thanks a lot.

Armando: Oh, I love this song!

Armando & Marcy: Sing song to each other

Armando: This song brings back so many good memories!

Marcy: Really? I also know this song because in California it was really popular.

Armando: Are you from California?

Marcy: Yes, I moved to New York five years ago.

Armando: I’m also from California.

Armando & Marcy: What a coincidence?

Armando: Well you should know this.

Armando: Yes, of course. Congratulations again. And don’t worry, everyone has faith in you.

Marcy: Well, see you later. Bye.

Angelica: Hello dear. Don’t tell me that you were speaking with that thing. She needs a makeover.

Armando: Do you want to leave?

Angelica: Well, although I’m having a great time. I hate bags under my eyes. So, yeah let’s go!

Brother: Don’t think I didn’t see that!

Marcy: Saw what?

Brother: Marcia, I wasn’t born yesterday. What was that about?

Marcia: I really don’t know what you’re talking about!

Brother: Oh my God! I know that you like him.

Marcy: What if I like him? That’s not going to change anything.

Brother: What do you mean?

Marcy: He’s never going to like me. He’s never going to see me as more than a friend.

Brother: Well, I think all this time, he was looking at you as more than a friend.

Brother: You want to be with him than and your appearance is impeding you then, transform yourself.

Marcy: Are you serious? A makeover is not going to make him like me.

Brother: You like him. All you need to do is prove it to yourself. You need more confidence.

Marcy: Fine, I’ll do it! I’ll call Mariano. He’s good for this kind of stuff.

Marcy: Hey Mariano. I need you. I like a guy and I really need a makeover…Ok, thanks…. See you soon.

Bienvenidos aL Salon de Mariano

Mariano: Hi Marcy. You called the right person. So, what is he like?

Marcy: Well, he’s cute, smart and just perfect.

Mariano: I’ve never seen you this way. Especially over a man.

Marcy: I’ve never felt this way before.

Mariano: Ok, let’s get started.

Hairdresser 1: This makeover will be impossible.

Hairdresser 2: I’ve never seen hair so dry before. It’s worse than burnt.

Hairdresser 1: Listen, do you think we should teach her our “move.” She needs help.

Hairdresser 2: Yes, good idea.

Hairdresser 2: Hey Marcy, do you want to learn a move that will capture your man completely.

Marcy: Yes, please! Teach me! What can I do?

Hairdresser 2: Well, it’s something like this. Come help me.

Hairdresser 1: Come, let’s show her together.

MARIANO LINE!

Hairdresser 2: It’s okay. Try again.

Hairdresser 2: I think that’s enough.

Hairdressers: Oh poor girl! How awful!

Mariano: May I present, the new Marcy!

Mariano: Hmm … maybe we should give that another try.

Mariano: Ok, we definitely got it right this time.

Indian Bollywood

Armand: Where is Marcy? The fashion show is in an hour and she didn’t even show up for work this morning. I hope she’s OK.

Armand: I have to tell her how I feel tonight. I really like her but don’t know how to tell her. How do I make her realize how I feel? What do I do?

Angelica: Why do you like her? Look at the way she dresses.

Armand: I don’t care about how she looks. I like her because she doesn’t act like someone she’s not. She’s beautiful from the inside and out.

Angelica: I wish you liked me as much as you like her.

Armand: Did you say something?

Angelica: No, it was nothing. I’m sure she likes you too. Just say it with your genuine style. You used to try that on me.

Armand: Thanks. I hope she feels the same way about me as I feel for her.

Marcy: I may have changed on the outside, but I’m still the same inside. I really like Armand, and I hope he’s impressed by my new look and designs.

Marcy: I hope everyone likes my designs. Tonight’s show is so important and I really want everything to go well.

Model: I’m sure it will.

Marcy: Wow, I’m speechless.

Armand: I’ve been meaning to tell you for a while, but never had the chance.

Marcy: How do I know this isn’t just another one of your pickup lines to play me?

Armand: Look into my eyes. If you still think I’m lying, I won’t ever show my face to you again.

Marcy: I believe you. I didn’t think that you were lying. I just wanted to see how serious you were.
