Throwing stuff at the internet to see what sticks


Thursday, April 18, 2002  

As promised, today I have further excerpts from the upcoming episode of Trading Spaces featuring the Osbournes*. To see the beginning, as well as some language that will hopefully keep me out of legal trouble, scroll down to Wednesday, April 17. Enjoy.

[BEGINNING OF EXCERPT]

INT. OZZY’S HOUSE

PAIGE (Voice-over): Hildi’s team already has the new base coat on the walls, and they’re making progress on the next phase.

HILDI (flinging bat blood at the wall): Don’t worry too much about getting it really even. We’re going for a little imperfection here.

NEIGHBOR (spitting out a fresh bat head): That shouldn’t be hard.

The Osbournes’ security guard MICHAEL wanders in. He takes in the three blood-drenched strangers ankle deep in bat corpses and reacts with alarm.

MICHAEL: What’s going on in here?

HILDI: Oh, it’s okay. It’s for TV.

Michael notices one of the cameras and waves amiably at the home audience.

MICHAEL: All right, then. I’ll leave you to it.

Exit Michael.

INT. THE NEIGHBORS’ HOUSE

PAIGE (Voice-Over): Frank has put Ozzy and the kids to work on removing the wallpaper. But where are the kids?

Alone in the room, Ozzy slowly goes over the wall with a paper scorer.

OZZY: [unintelligible][bleep][unintelligible].

Ozzy stops and looks at the wall.

OZZY: Take all [bleep]ing day, this will. [unintelligible].

Ozzy picks up a hammer and crowbar and starts whacking away at the wall. After a moment, a section of it comes clean off.

OZZY: Bleeding [bleep]-all! Ohhhh, God. [unintelligible].

Ozzy stares at the exposed wall studs, gobsmacked.

OZZY: SHAROOOON!


EXT. THE DRIVEWAY

PAIGE (Voice-over) Looks like Kelly has plans of her own.

Kelly, having ditched her peach Trading Spaces shirt at some point, gets into a car and starts it up. Sharon catches up to her at the driver’s side window.

SHARON: Where the [bleep] do you think you’re going?

KELLY: Uhh, wotsisname, the Father Christmas-looking guy. Said we need more nails.

SHARON: Frank sent you to get nails?

KELLY: Yes! God! I’m just going to the [bleep]ing nail store!

Sharon opens the car door and ushers Kelly out.

SHARON: No you’re [bleep]ing not. Where’s your shirt?

KELLY: I hate the shirt. Ugly [bleep]ing colour.

SHARON: Your hair was that “ugly [bleep]ing colour” last week.

KELLY: Why do you think I [bleep]ing changed it?

Kelly flips Sharon the bird as she follows her mom back to the house.

EXT. THE STREET

PAIGE (Voice-over): Meanwhile, Ty’s about to get a little unexpected help.

Jack is leaning against the carpentry truck, smoking. Carpenter/handyman TY PENNINGTON, carrying some shelves, emerges from the truck and spots him standing there.

TY: Hey, buddy. Better not let the principal catch you smoking out here behind the cafeteria.

Jack doesn’t answer, preferring to hold his smoke in. Ty registers this.

TY: Especially if you’re smoking that.

Jack finally exhales and holds the joint out to Ty.

JACK: Wanna hit?

Ty puts down the shelves and looks at Jack severely.

TY: Dude, have you ever watched this show?

Ty takes the offered joint and inhales deeply.

[END OF EXCERPT]

More again tomorrow, provided TLC's lawyers don't shut me down.

* Again, not really.
