### Opening Scene

> [In Daphne's Lobby with the crashed car]**Flo**Penny! Are you okay?**Penny**I’m fine. I guess the front door slowed the impact.**Flo**Oh, Penny. I'm so sorry.**Penny**Hey, no one got hurt except for the car and the house.[A woman stands at the top of the stairs]**Daphne**…
> I must say, that was quite the entrance!

#### Move Car

> [Penny and Flo stand to the left of the car][Daphne walks down the stairs]**Penny**Oh, hello! We’re terribly sorry about this mess.[Flo and Penny jump in surprise]**Daphne**Who are you? Did SHE send you?**Flo**SHE? Who’s…**Penny**I’m Penny. This is my friend, Flo.**Daphne**And I am Daphne Bellstar, but you already know that![Flo hops from one foot to the other in excitement as Penny gets closer to the car]**Flo**THE Daphne Bellstar? I’ve only seen ALL of your movies!**Penny**We are SO sorry, Miss Bellstar. We’ll clean up the damage here.
> Flo, help me roll this car out of the way…

*One mighty push later*

> [Outside with the car]**Daphne**Now for the clean-up. For starters…

#### Clean Up Entrance

> [In the Lobby at the bottom of the stairs]**Flo**Okay, time to go all white-tornado on this mess!

Transition Dialogue

> [Penny and Flo clean the Lobby]**Penny**Looking much better!**Daphne**Yes, my attorney will be quite impressed at you efforts.**Penny**Your attorney?**Daphne**Yes, this is prime lawsuit material! What’s your insurance situation?**Flo**LAWSUIT? But Miss Bellstar, I’m your biggest FAN!**Daphne**How nice. But this house has been falling down for years.
> If you can help me with some decorations, no legal action will be necessary.**Penny**That sounds... compelling.**Flo**Heh heh... where do we start?[The three of them turn to look at the stairs]**Daphne**Well, a new floor, new walls, new staircase...

#### New Floor

> **Penny**Okay, looks like you’re getting a new floor!

*Player chooses an option*

> **Flo**What do you think of this one, Daphne?**Daphne**...
> This one is Daphne-approved!**Flo**Whew!**Penny**Flo, gotta ask, why did you swerve in the car like that?

> **Flo**Didn’t you see the blue sweater-cat?**Penny**Glad you didn't hit the cat! You just hit... a house.[Flo, Daphne and Penny stand at the bottom of the stairs]**Flo**Yup! I really like cats.**Daphne**Good priorities. Maybe you’re okay.

#### Fix Walls

> [In the corner of the Lobby]**Penny**Well, we didn't hit the walls with the car, but...**Daphne**Pick a design I like...unless you like going to court.**Penny**Okay okay! How about this design?

*Player chooses an option*

*Player chooses another option*

> **Daphne**That came out well! The lawsuit is seeming less likely.**Flo**PSST! Penny!
> Is she serious about suing us?**Penny**We have to assume she is.**Flo**Because I'm trying to scrape together enough money for my son's college...
> I really CAN'T get sued! It would ruin everything!**Penny**And starting married life in financial ruin... yeah. So, I'm with you.**Flo**Okay, let's just do a REALLY good job, and maybe she'll be nice...**Daphne**No more whispering... or else...
> LAWSUIT!

#### New Staircase

> [At the bottom of the staircase]**Flo**This staircase really looks like...**Daphne**...someone hit with a car! Fix it, please.

*Player chooses an option*

*Player chooses another option*

> **Daphne**I think that says, "Grand, but still relevant!"**Penny**We're really glad to help you as much as we can, but...
> I have a wedding to get back to.**Daphne**Then you'll be highly motivated!**Flo**And you, Daphne? What's your motivation?**Daphne**You know, I always asked that question before filming a scene...
> ...and that will be revealed in good time.
> For now, let's just say there are forces at work. Dark forces. Dark purple forces.**Penny**Dark purple forces. Okay...

Transition Dialogue

> **Penny**So, Daphne, just how much redecorating are we doing today?**Daphne**Let's just see what we get to.
> For the moment, I see wall lamps...
> fish ponds, statues...
> And, I don't know, maybe a new couch would be nice...

#### New Wall Lamps

> [In the corner of the Lobby...again]**Flo**In my interior design work, wall lamps really give a room that special glow.**Daphne**Well, then pick out new ones already, Miss Interior Designer.

*Player chooses an option*

> **Daphne**Marvelous! I might just trust your choices going forward!**Penny**I didn't know you did interior design, Flo.**Flo**Yes, before I became a wedding planner. There's a lot of overlap there!**Daphne**It seems that just the right people crashed into my house.**Flo**Yes, it's a matter of taste, experience, and the right dose of SWING FAY!**Penny**Do you mean Feng Shui?**Flo**Please, Penny, I'm a professional.

#### Fix Fish Ponds

> [At the bottom of the stairs near the right fish pond]**Daphne**Now, these fish ponds...**Penny**...maybe should be capable of holding fish?**Flo**Here are some tasteful choices...

*Player chooses an option*

*Player chooses another option*

> [They move towards the pond on the right]**Daphne**Beautiful! The fish will keep the cats entertained.**Flo**So, Daphne, that blue-sweater cat we swerved around, is that yours?**Daphne**Most likely. I have a lot of cats, and I knit them a lot of sweaters.
> My cat friends have been my only company since SHE...**Penny**There's that mysterious SHE again.**Flo**Dark Purple SHE?**Daphne**We just met. I won't burden you with that...

#### Restore Statues

> [Penny, Daphne and Flo stand in the center of the Lobby]**Penny**These statues sustained some damage.**Flo**Undamaged statues, coming up!

*Player chooses an option*

> [The group move to stand beside the statue on the right]**Daphne**Ah yes, this makes the room take shape now!**Flo**I’ve never decorated with big statues before.
> I loved the statues in your movie, “Slicing Marble.”**Daphne**Ah yes, the little-known story of Michelangelo’s love life.**Flo**And you were posing in bed sheets while he sculpted you.**Daphne**It was supposed to be a Roman toga. He was sculpting me as a goddess.**Flo**You WERE a goddess!**Daphne**Thank you! Now back to work...

#### New Couch

> [At the bottom of the staircase]**Penny**You said something about a new couch?**Daphne**I do like to lounge. Here’s what I was thinking...

*Player chooses an option*

*Player chooses another option*

> **Daphne**Perfect for napping! While you keep working...**Penny**That sounds fair.[Penny and Flo turn to face Daphne]**Flo**I know all this came about through a violent accident, but...
> I’m having fun!**Daphne**That is permitted.**Flo**I mean, it’s really satisfying to see the room coming together, and...
> I’ve never decorated a MANSION before!**Daphne**I suppose it is uncommon for most people.[Screen pans to the Front Entryway]**Daphne**But let’s focus... the front entryway is going to need some fixing...

#### Clean Up Entrance

> [At the Front Entryway, the trio walk out the mansion and down the steps]**Penny**A car definitely crashed through here.**Flo**Oof, yeah, my bad...**Daphne**A little general clean-up before the repairs start, yes?

Transition Dialogue

> [Penny and Flo clean around the car]**Flo**Well, that was satisfying!**Daphne**Now for some new front stairs, a new doorway... and those poor plants!

#### New Front Stairs

> [Daphne sits on a bench whilst Penny and Flo look at the stairs]**Penny**I don’t think we can patch up these front stairs, Miss Bellstar[Flo and Penny turn to face Daphne]**Daphne**Best to go for new ones anyway. Surprise me!**Penny**It's a staircase... how do you expect us to surprise y--**Daphne**Lllllawwwsuuuuit!**Flo**Surprising staircase coming up.

*Player chooses an option*

> **Daphne**Hmm... could be more surprising... But it's pretty!
> ...Just like you, Penny.**Penny**Hey... I'm full of surprises!
> But thank you for saying I'm pretty... I think.

#### New Doorway

> [Penny and Flo stand on the bottom step of the Front Entryway]**Daphne**So, the doorway...**Flo**Yes, I’ll use the door knob next time!**Penny**We need a door first. How about...

*Player chooses an option*

> **Penny**THIS!**Daphne**Yes, I approve of this new entry![Penny and Flo walk over to Daphne]**Flo**It is a relief to get that part fixed.**Penny**Especially since we destroyed it directly.**Daphne**You take responsibility. That’s a good sign.**Penny**Well, of course!
> Daphne, may I ask, you keep referring to some woman... SHE...**Daphne**Not yet, dear. Keep up the good work, and we’ll talk...

#### Choose Plants

> [Flo and Penny walk up the Front Entryway stairs]**Daphne**The plants around the doorway are really important.**Flo**Right? They’re a welcoming sign of life to all who enter!
> I know exactly what we should put in these pots.

*Player chooses an option*

> **Daphne**Yes, that’s it exactly!**Flo**Told ya.

Transition Dialogue

> [Daphne, Penny and Flo walk from the bench to the bottom of the steps]**Flo**In my interior and exterior designer opinion...
> This area is looking great!**Penny**Haha! I love how you completely ignore the fact that there's a car wreck...
> Hey... looks like the police have arrived...[A policeman walks from his car to the front gates]**Penny**That’s good, we can explain about the accident...

#### Meet Officer Jones

> [The police officer joins the others at the Front Entryway steps]**Mike**Good afternoon, ladies. Looks like someone took a wrong turn.**Daphne**Girls, this is Officer Mike Jones of our local police force.**Flo**Yes, you see, there was this cat in the road...**Daphne**Is there some specific question you had, Officer?**Mike**Well, I assume you were about to report the accident...**Daphne**Perhaps. Though this is private property.**Mike**Well, there’s another complication here, Miss Bellstar.[Mike turns to look at the car]**Mike**A vehicle matching this description has been reported STOLEN.**Flo**STOLEN?
