SINGLE STATION - CAST REVEAL #1

INT. STUDIO

In front of a live studio audience, thorney33 sits in achair with an empty chair directly to his left. The room isdark, and the only lights are shining onto the chairs.

THORNEY33Evening, folks! Tonight, we’re tolearn the identity of our firstcontestant on the first ever seasonof Single Station...are youexcited?

The crowd is silent, with a drunkard at the back cheeringloudly and a hipster clapping ironically.

THORNEY33 (CONT’D)Yes...well...be that as it may, I’d

like to introduce you to our firstconfirmed housemate...woman,mother, housewife. Not terms youwould generally associate withentertainment...look at DesperateHousewives for goodness sakes...

This raises a small laugh from the crowd.

THORNEY33 (CONT’D)...but with three crazy kids andthe funniest husband on TV, she’ssure to set tongues wagging. Say hi

to our resident ’Yummy Mummy’,Claire Dunphy from Modern Family !

CLAIRE DUNPHY, early 40s, makes her way out on stage to thecheers of the massive crowd. She waves before sitting downnext to thorney33 with an unhappy look on her face.

CLAIRE’Yummy Mummy’? Don’t you thinkthat’s a little inappropriate? Mykids might be watching!

THORNEY33I can assure you, Mrs. Dunphy;everything I say I say with theutmost respect.

CLAIREOh...Mrs. Dunphy...let’s keep it at’Claire’, sweetie.

THORNEY33OK...I’ve just got a few questionsto ask, Claire. First of all, whatdo you say to doubters that suggestyour husband would have been abetter fit for the show?

CLAIREWhat...Phil? The man who wanted tobuy a track-suit because he thoughtit was a cosy to protect oldcasettes?

THORNEY33I meant the Phil that is consideredone of the funniest men in all ofAmerica.

CLAIREWhat?! I can be just as funny as

Phil.

There is silence.

CLAIRE (CONT’D)What, I can be! I mean, justyesterday, I was driving mydaughter Alex to school, and wedrove past a bus that was goingreally, really slow! So you knowwhat I said?

Claire leans in to an awkward looking thorney33.

THORNEY33Uh, what?

CLAIREThey ought to...bus...a move!

Silence. Perhaps even crickets.

CLAIRE (CONT’D)Bus a move? You know, like thatrapper...oh...what’s hisname...Little Tom?

THORNEY33Um...anyway...another question Ihave is why you applied to be onthe show? Three kids at home, needyextended family, lots ofresponsibility...

(CONTINUED)



CONTINUED: 3.

CLAIRE(decidedly tired)

Exactly. Next question.

THORNEY33OK! The last question before you

enter...what do you think you willbring to the Single Station house?

CLAIREWell, as a Mom, I c a n t r y t o b e arole model for all the women outthere who think they get taken forgranted, and passed over as nothingmore than a sexual object.

THORNEY33And what about in the hot-tub?

CLAIREWait, what?

THORNEY33Uh...nothing! Well,Mrs...Claire...it’s been apleasure. If you’d like to makeyour way into the house...

A door opens up behind the two. Claire stands, with a lookof determination.

CLAIRE

Take a good look, America. Nexttime you see this face, it’ll be asthe winner of this whole thing.

THORNEY33Yep...because it’s the face we’reall admiring.

The crowd cheers as Claire enters the house.
