All About Allie!
Written By Piper Robbins

A troubled local theater performer working on the set of a kids
television pilot starts to experience bad behavior from her
puppet.

Cast of Characters

Allie – A troubled, local theater performer with “Puppeteer” at the
top slot of the special skills section of her resume. Allie, has just
hit her first big break as the star on a children’s television show
pilot.

Eddie the Puppet (Off Stage Voice) – Shelved after a failed 1919
circus act with the Ringling Bros, Eddie has found a new life in his
supporting role as Allie’s imaginary friend in the hopeful hit
television pilot, “All About Allie!”

Jeremy Davids – Arrogant but successful director, Jeremy has always
wanted to create a television show for YA audiences and knows he has
struck gold with “All About Allie!”…and his beautiful star.

Laura – Laura auditioned for the starring role in “All About Allie!”
but was offered the part of Allie’s BFF instead. Laura is too
interested in romancing her costar, Charlie, to give it much thought.

Charlie – A small, featured actor in the “All About Allie!” pilot.
Charlie would rather be doing anything else if his stage mother
wouldn’t croak at the thought. Charlie thinks his co-star Laura is a
bore, but at least having her tongue down his throat keeps him busy
on set.

The Puppet Handler – You wouldn’t guess The Puppet Handler has talked
to anyone other than their puppets before by how socially awkward
they are, but Allie still misses them when they suddenly quit before
the first day of filming.

Film crew (2-3) – Two small speaking roles. Primarily extra bodies on
stage during “All About Allie!” filming scenes.

Scene 1. – “Take One” – On set.

Allie is wearing a colorful, cartoonish outfit, as she finishes
her lines on the final rehearsals for the pilot episode of “All
About Allie!”. She’s holding a cheaply made puppet used for
rehearsal- NOT Eddie the Puppet. She is surrounded by Film Crew
and Jeremy Davids, the director, on the first day of a 7 day
shoot.

Allie

Oh, Eddie! That was a close one! Our principal is so mean!

Eddie the Puppet
(Off stage voice)
What’s got into Ol’ Mrs. Jepsen?

Allie

I’m not sure Eddie! It almost sounded like she knew about you!
But that’d be impossible. You’re my imaginary friend! Only my
friends know about you, Eddie. You’re safe with me.

Eddie

And you’re always safe with me, Allie.

Jeremy

And, CUT! That’s a wrap on rehearsals for “All About Allie!”!
Thank you everybody! Remember to check the call sheet for the first day of filming tomorrow on your way out!

The stage burst into a controlled chaos of Film crew and actors breaking for the day. Jeremy pulls Allie to the side after muttering off tasks to a Film Crew member.

Jeremy

And that will go straight into rolling credits with the instrumental theme song playing…oh Allie! Come here for a moment.

Allie
Sure Jeremy.

Jeremy

How’re you feeling? I think it’s going great. I’m feeling like this is going to really work. There might be a disconnect between you and the puppet. Yeah? Are you feeling that? Maybe work on moving his mouth with your voice a little better? I don’t mean anything by it, Allie. I just want you looking perfect. Are you coming by my office later?

Allie

Yeah, Jeremy and I’ll work on that. I don’t want to look stupid in my first big role.

Jeremy

What are you talking about? You’re perfect for this. A lot of girls auditioned for this role but I didn’t pick them did I? I picked you. Even after the studio pushed for Laura, I told them I didn’t care.

Allie

I appreciate the sentiment. I’ll be in your office later doc.
I’m going to swing by my dressing room to powder my nose.

Jeremy
(In a quiet whisper)

Come on Allie, don’t be like that. You’re my lil star…
(Louder, like he realizes anyone could be listening)
You’re a star Allie! Great work today!

Allie, Jeremy and Film Crew exit.

Scene 2. – “Two fingers in the mouth, 1 under his chin and two in his head” -Dressing room.

Allie snorts a line of coke in her dressing room. There’s a
knock on the door, Allie quickly hides her bag and wipes her
nose.

Allie
One second!

The door opens anyway. The Puppet Handler walks in.

Allie
I said one second!

The Puppet Handler

Oh, sorry I didn’t hear you. I’m here with Eddie.

Allie
What?

The Puppet Handler
Eddie…

Allie
The puppet?

The Puppet Handler

Yes. The puppet…his name is Eddie.
He stares at her, not moving, not blinking.

Allie
Okay…

The Puppet Handler
Do you want to meet him?

Allie

I guess… if he’s going to be my co-star or whatever I should start getting used to life with Eddie. I need to start practicing without the rehearsal puppet.

The Puppet Handler enters the room holding a lock box.

The Puppet Handler

He’s a great co-star to have. Never forgets his lines and is always on time.

(A beat.)

The Puppet Handler
Sorry. Puppet humor.

Allie
What was your name?

The Puppet Handler

Eddie is just great. He’s been around since 1919 when he was made for an unfinished Ringling Brothers show, set to open when they started traveling with Barnum and Bailey’s. But, the show never seen the light of day, So, Ol Eddie here was shelved. He made it through a few auctions, before ending up here, with me and this studio. Now you’re lucky enough to have him.

Allie

Can he still be used? Isn’t that, like, antique?

The Puppet Handler

Well, after some tune ups from yours truly and giving him a new look via the props department, he is in perfect shape to come out again. Everyone, welcome in Eddie!

The Puppet Handler opens the box and takes out a vintage Hand
and Rod Puppet: Eddie.

Allie

Oh, that’s fucked. He looks insane.

The Puppet Handler
(To Eddie)
She didn’t mean it.

Allie

Uh, no. That thing is so creepy. Sorry. Is that for real? He looks nothing like the rehearsal puppet. That’s literally going to scare the kids.

The Puppet Handler

“Scary” Eddie here is more complicated to use than the rehearsal dummy.

Allie

Apparently I’m not even using the rehearsal puppet right. Jeremy basically said I looked like shit during rehearsal and he can still see my mouth moving.

The Puppet Handler

I can help you rehearse after I show you how to use him. Only if you want to of course. Just to make sure you and Eddie feel good together and that your mouth looks good.

Allie
Oh yeah?

The Puppet Handler
I am the puppet guy after all.

Allie

You are the puppet guy after all…

Allie slowly takes Eddie off of The Puppet Handlers hand.

Allie

Okay, you can show me how to use him. We can try him out together.

The Puppet Handler
(Suddenly nervous)

Um..yeah, uh, so you’ll put two fingers in his mouth, one under his chin and two in his head like this.

The Puppet Handler holds up the shape of a wolf, with his thumb touching his middle and ring finger.

Allie
Like this?

Allie puts her hand inside Eddie and gapes his mouth, holding it open.

The Puppet Handler
Yes. Like that.

Allie
How does it look?

Allie shows off her new puppet, posing like she would in front of the camera.

The Puppet Handler
Perfect.

Allie

Who? Me or the puppet?

Allie leans in, purposefully making The Puppet Handler even more nervous.

The Puppet Handler
Uh. Both. Yes.

Allie
Yeah…puppet guy?

Allie leans in closer. Suddenly, she stops and screams.

Allie

Ow! What the fuck! There’s something sharp in there!

The Puppet Handler
What? Did something pinch you?

Allie

No, there’s something sharp in there, like a jagged edge or something.

The Puppet Handler

There shouldn’t be, I just had him on.

Allie

There is. Look, I’m bleeding.

The Puppet Handler

I’m sorry. Here let me take him. I’ll fix it. I’m really sorry.

Allie

Its fine. I’ve just had a long day. I’m tired. Sorry.

The Puppet Handler

It’s okay. I’ll have him back tomorrow good as new. Or..newer than he was and we can rehearse together.

He takes Eddie.

Allie

Sounds good. sorry, again. I’m just really stressed with everything. I really need this to work out. I have to meet Jeremy in his office soon. I don’t mean to rush you but I’m excited for our rehearsal! What was your name again?

The Puppet Handler
I’ll see you later.

The Puppet Handler is already out the door. Allie sucks on her bloody finger before dipping it into her baggie to gum a little coke. She takes a fresh pair of panties out of her purse, changes her old pair and exits.

Scene 3. – “Everybody has said the f slur at least once” – On set.

Laura and Charlie are waiting on set. It’s obvious Laura is throwing herself at him. Allie enters clearly flustered.

Laura
(Fake cheery)

Hey. Really nice of you to start the day showing up late for our read-through.

Allie

Sorry. I can’t find the stupid puppet. The puppet guy was supposed to bring me him this morning but he never came.

Laura

So, you decided to show up 30 minutes late to your call time?

We’ve been waiting.

Jeremy makes his way onto the stage.

Allie

There’s no point in doing a read-through if I don’t have the puppet to practice with Laura. Oh! Jeremy.

Jeremy

Mr. Davids would be fine, Allie.

Allie

Sorry, Mr. Davids. Have you seen the puppet handler guy? I waited around all morning for him but he never brought the puppet back. They wanted to read lines and now Laura’s pissed.

Laura

Isn’t this great? My first official day on set, we’re already running late, the puppet is missing, we haven’t rehearsed together in over a week and the lead is officially a cunt. It’s just great. At least we got to run our lines, Charlie.

Charlie
(Unbothered)

It’s fine. I don’t have a lot to do in the pilot anyways.

Laura

That’s not the point, Charlie. Thank god you don’t because how could you feel ready when your scene partner is so unprofessional?

Jeremy

Actually, We will no longer be moving forward with a puppet handler. He quit.

Allie

What? Why? How am I supposed to work on using Eddie?

Jeremy

We still have the puppet. Just not the puppet handler. Artistic differences.

Allie
His name is Eddie.

Jeremy

The puppet handler? Oh, the puppet. Right. We still have Eddie. There’s just no use in wasting our budget on some puppet handler to walk around with a box. Allie, you’re now in charge of taking care of Eddie and our star. Sounds good? Eddie is in your dressing room, I want you back on set in five as my normal Allie. Laura, let’s chat for a second.

Allie exits. Followed by Jeremy, Laura and Charlie.

Scene 4. – “Oh, Eddie!” – Dressing Room.

Allie enters her dressing room, Eddie is sitting propped up out of his box, she walks over to him.

Allie

Okay…You’re fine, Allie. Stop being like this. Let’s just run through it one time, real quick.

She takes a deep breath, and picks up Eddie.

Allie
(Yawns)

Hmmm, oh! Good morning Eddie!

Off stage, a deep, cartoonish voice speaks as Allie maneuvers Eddie‘s mouth.

Eddie

Good morning, Allie!

Allie

Are you ready for our big day?

Eddie

I’m always ready for a good day with you Allie! What’s there to do today?

Allie

Today, we’re gonna sneak into Laura’s dressing room and put broken glass in her makeup compact!

Eddie

Ohhhhh Allie! You really know how to treat a boy!

Allie
Oh, Eddie!
(laughs)

…okay. For real this time.

She clears her throat and settles back into character.

Eddie

Oh, Allie! I’m always ready for a good day with you!

Allie

You’re my best friend ever Eddie!

Allie takes off Eddie, pleased.

(To Eddie)

Thank you Eddie. You’re actually not a bad scene partner. I wish more guys were like you.

Allie kisses Eddie playfully on the cheek and exits.

Scene 5. – “…line?!” – On Set.

Allie, Eddie, Charlie, Jeremy Davids, Laura and Film crew film a school scene for “All About Allie!”.

Jeremy
And, action!

Charlie
Hey guys! Hi Eddie!

Allie
Hey friend!

Eddie
Hiya!

Laura

Not now, Charlie. We’re trying to figure out what to do about Mrs. Jepsen.

Charlie
The principal?

Laura
The evil principal!

Allie

We think she knows about Eddie and his magic powers. She told me she was going to take him away!

Charlie

Well we have to stop her.

An uncomfortable beat.

Jeremy

Allie, that’s your line…

Allie
Right, yeah. Sorry.
Jeremy

Keep rolling. Take it back and start whenever you’re ready.

Charlie

(With a slightly different cadence)

Hey guys! Hi Eddie!
Allie
Hey friend!
Eddie
Hiya!
Laura

Not now, Charlie. We’re trying to figure out what to do about Mrs. Jepsen.
Charlie
The principal?
Laura
The evil principal!
Allie

We think she knows about Eddie and his magic powers. She told me she was going to take him away!

Charlie

Well we have to stop her!

Allie

We can do anything now that we have Eddie by our sides!

Laura

Let’s meet after school. I have a feeling Mrs. Jepson isn’t really who…or what… she says she is!

Another uncomfortable beat.

Laura

That’s your line again, Allie! Oh my god!

Jeremy
Laura. Be nice.
Allie

Sorry, Uh. What’s the line agai-

Allie is seemingly interrupted by Eddie.

Eddie

I have a weird feeling about Mrs. Jepson!

Allie
(Startled)
Me too!

Laura

Don’t forget! After school!

Charlie
See you all later!
Jeremy
And…Cut!
Laura

Mr. David’s! I’m not starting the show off like this. She was
late for the read through and now she’s messing up my cue lines.

Jeremy

Laura, I’m not going to put up with on set bullying of other actors. Allie was fine. She looked great.

Laura

Oh, cmon! Is that take even usable? The puppet remembered more of the lines than she did!

Jeremy

Well Allie, what was going on out there?

Allie

I don’t know, I’m sorry. I went over the lines in my dressing room earlier, I just forgot. It really was like Eddie was remembering the lines.

Laura
(Blurts)

What? God. You’re such an idiot. The only reason you even have this role is because my agent asked for too much and the studio knew a tacky local theatre shit like you would jump at the opportunity.

Charlie
Woah, chill Laura.

Allie

Have you ever even held a puppet, Laura?

Laura

So we all have to have “puppeteer” at the top of the fucking special skills section of our resume now? Who the fuck are you!

Queen of the faggy puppets?

Laura storms off.

Jeremy

Laura, come back! We’re not done for the day.

Allie

(Yelling after Laura)

And you think a kids show is going to fix what little career you had! Jeremy! she can’t say that!

Charlie

Hasn’t everybody said the f slur at least once.

Jeremy

Thank you Charlie. Allie, do you think it’s possible for you and Laura to get together and work this all out. Please? This studio, me, everybody, we’re all counting on you to really sell this pilot. We still need her even if she is just playing the friend. Who’s going to care about a little backstage drama when this show comes out? Right? This studio is great at covering stuff up.

Allie

This is a show for kids. Who’s even going to be talking about it? You’re seriously not even going to make her apologize?

Jeremy

I think you should go talk with Laura, Allie.

Allie
Whatever.

Jeremy exits.

Charlie

Laura can be a real bitch.

Allie

Is that why you like her?

Charlie

Don’t let her bother you too much, Allie.

Charlie exits. Allie is left on stage with Eddie.

Allie

Thanks again for saving my butt back there when I forgot my lines, Eddie. You really are my only friend here.

Allie exits with Eddie.

Scene 6. – “She’s such a bitch!” – Dressing Room.

Laura is sitting in the dressing room on the phone with her agent.

Laura

She’s awful! She can’t remember her lines, she’s late to set and the puppet is prettier than her. I mean really! I talked to Mr. Davids and if she keeps this up she might as well just hand over the role. I have him just where I want him. One more mess up from her and she’s done.

Allie enters with Eddie.

Allie
Laura?

Laura
I have to go.
(To Allie)
Yes, Allie?

Allie

I just wanted to say, I’m sorry. You’re right, I shouldn’t have been late to the read-through today. I really want this show to go well for both of us. Let’s just be cool.

Laura

Yeah, okay, we can be cool. This just needs to go great for both of us.
Allie

Yes. Okay, good. I’d like that.

Laura

I’m sorry too, Allie. My agents have been stressing me out lately. All press is good press though, right? That’s who I was talking to. Why don’t you and I go out tonight? A lil girls night out to celebrate the pilot?

Allie

Yeah, Laura, sure, that’d be great. I think Mr. Davids would really like that. This is all pretty new and stressful for me too. I just have to run by my dressing room and put Eddie away.

Laura

Oh, you can just leave him here for the night! You can get him tomorrow before we shoot.

Allie

Thanks, are you sure?

She sets Eddie sitting up safely in the dressing room.

Laura

You go ahead outside, I’ll catch up. I have to call my agent back real fast. You know how it is.

Allie exits, Laura picks up Eddie and hides him, moving him from where Allie left him, planning to sabotage Allie by making her late to set again the next morning.

Laura
(to Eddie)

Oh no, Mr Davids! Allies late again because she lost the puppet? Oh you’re going to fire her? Of course I’ll take the part!

Laura laughs and exits.

Scene 7. – “The life of a showgirl“ – On set. – The next day.

All characters are on set, except Laura.

Jeremy

Has anybody seen Laura? We’re riding a tight schedule here, people.
Allie

We went out last night, but she texted me that she made it home. She must’ve overslept? we didn’t stay out super late though, I swear.
Jeremy

We have each shot planned down to the minute. We have four more days to shoot this pilot, people. Somebody go check her dressing room. Please!

Laura runs onto the stage, screaming and covering her face. Her face and hands are covered in blood and cuts.

Charlie

Oh my god! Laura! What happened!

Jeremy

Dear god, somebody call an ambulance and her agent!

Laura

My face! You did this! She did this to me! She put glass in my makeup! I can’t be on camera like this!

Allie
What! I didnt…

Laura is helped off stage by the Film crew.

Charlie

What did she mean, “You did this!”, Allie?

Allie

I don’t know…I didn’t do this. You all have to believe me. We went out last night, talked about everything, we were fine. I came into work this morning, got Eddie from her dressing room and came straight onto set. I didn’t mess with her makeup!

Jeremy

You were in her dressing room this morning?

Allie

Only to get Eddie…She told me to leave him there last night.

Jeremy

Oh, Allie…We’ll talk about this later. I’m going to check on her.

Jeremy exits.

Allie

Charlie, you believe me…don’t you?

Charlie

What’s going on with you, Allie? I didn’t know you were like this.

Charlie exits.

Allie

Eddie…Do you believe me?

Allie smiles at Eddie and giggles, she exits.

Scene 8. – “The one where the male supporting role gets stabbed in the fucking back” – Dressing Room.

Charlie paces the dressing room on the phone with his stage mom.

Charlie

No, mom! Listen! Like her face was fucked! This girl is dangerous or something.

(Pause)

No, I thought she was cool, she was a nice girl, I don’t know, mom! I don’t want to do this stupid show anymore! Something’s wrong with her. Like really wrong with her. Who does that?

(Pause)

I don’t care about acting! I’m packing my stuff and flying home.
(Pause)

Okay, then I’ll take the train! This isn’t worth the money mom. We’re not going to make it big from a kids show! We’ll be okay!

Eddie

(Not visible on stage, off stage voice)

Hiya Charlie!

Charlie
Mom, I have to go…
(he hangs up the phone)
Allie, go away! That’s not funny.

Eddie

C’mon Charlie! That’s not how you treat a lady. Allie is our sweet girl.
Charlie

Knock it off, Allie! This isn’t funny. You really hurt that girl. This is serious. Where are you hiding, huh?

Charlie looks around the stage, suspecting Allie is hiding somewhere in the dressing room.

Eddie

I didn’t hurt Laura. I helped her. I made her more memorable.

Everyone will love her now.

Charlie

That’s enough, freak! I know you’re in here!

Charlie goes into the trap door/walks offstage/peeks behind a curtain and screams. Charlie re-enters the scene, a prop knife sticking out of his back. He falls face down and is dragged off the stage.

Scene 9. – “Poor thing!” – On set.

Jeremy is on stage. Allie enters looking for him.

Jeremy

Thanks for meeting me so late again, Allie.

Allie

Of course, Mr. Jeremy. I hadn’t even headed home yet.

Jeremy

Allie, have you been crying?

Allie

I’m fine. A lot on my mind, How is she?

Jeremy

She’ll live. She’ll never work again. Not with those hideous, deep cuts on her face. Allie, what am I supposed to do here? You know how I feel about your talent. I see you as my muse Allie, but the studio isn’t going to stand for- for what happened here. Could you imagine if this got out? How would that look? I just want to make sure you’re okay, Allie. This could ruin you. I would be ruined.

Allie

I didn’t hurt her, Jeremy! There’s something weird going on here.
(Nervous)

I have a bad feeling about Eddie… I feel like I’m going crazy.

Jeremy

A bad feeling about Eddie?

Allie

I think he- I think he likes me. I know how I sound! I know you probably think I’m losing it but sometimes, it’s like I can hear Eddie. Like, really understand him. Like, he’s inside of me.

Jeremy

Oh, Allie…for Christ sakes, he’s a puppet. You’re scaring me, kid.
Allie

Scaring you? Jeremy…you have to believe me…

(Pause)

I think Eddie hurt Laura and I think he could hurt Charlie.
Remember when I forgot my lines? Eddie remembered my lines that
day on set, that wasn’t me! I thought I could tell you.

Jeremy

Maybe this pilot is getting to be too much for you, Allie. I’m starting to worry about whether this is all good for you. I really tried my best. I thought you were a star. My star.

Allie

No! It’s not! Jeremy, I can be that! C’mon! I can be that. I can be anything you want! But you have to believe me. Eddie hurt Laura. Eddie isn’t Eddie.

Jeremy

Shhh, Allie. Stop. Stop. It’s okay. Come here…

Jeremy embraces her.

Allie

I just want to do a good job. I’ve just been going through a lot and now that I’m finally away from everything at home…I just, I really need this. But I didn’t want anyone to get hurt. I don’t even want to finish filming anymore. This is stupid. The studio and everybody, they all probably think I’m a psycho now anyways.

Jeremy

Hey. Look kid. No more talk about evil puppets, or Laura, okay? We have a show to finish. The studio doesn’t need to know about these thoughts you’re having. Nobody does. You don’t need to tell anyone else about this. You need this. I’ve spent years on this. I know how hard it’s been for you. You can spend the night with me in my office and I’ll take care of all of this. You don’t need to go anywhere, Allie. Not when you’re like this.

Jeremy and Allie exit together.

Scene 10. – “Everybody is replaceable.” – On set.

Jeremy, Allie, Eddie and the Film Crew are all on set in a similar fashion to the opening scene, preparing for the last day of filming. Allie pulls Jeremy aside.

Allie
(Distressed)

Jeremy, I really need to talk to you again. I don’t think I should film today.

Jeremy
Allie, you’re okay.
(To everybody)

Everybody. Thank you, for an amazing week bringing “All About Allie!” from the page onto the screen! Last day, last shoot, last scene. Let’s keep the energy up! Luckily, we have already filmed all that we needed from our dear friend, Laura and Charlie who also won’t be joining us today. Charlie cleared out his dressing room last night after everything happened with Laura. He left a note about catching a train back home. But, that’s okay. We don’t need him. Everybody is replaceable and we’ll happily move forward with someone who wants this when we get picked up. Okay…our stars! The final scene, Allie and Eddie, after defeating Mrs. Jepsen, who is revealed to really be a vampire from outer space sent to earth to steal Eddie’s magic, thanks the audience for all of their help today! All right, everybody. Set! And, action!

Allie

Eddie, you really are the best imaginary friend ever! Who would’ve thought that Mrs. Jepsen, our principal, was really an evil vampire from outer space!

Eddie

Nothing can get between you and I, Allie. Not even the evil xiborgs (Zie-Borgs) from outer space!

Jeremy

CUT! The line is pronounced Z-Borgs (Z-Borgs). That’s really important Allie! Let’s go again!

Allie
(Apologetic)

Right, yeah, sorry…I just.

Allie stares at Eddie in silence, while taking an audible breath and then blowing the air out.

(To Jeremy)

Yeah. Okay, can I just pick it up?

Jeremy

Whenever you’re ready! Action!

Eddie

Nothing can get between you and I, Allie. Not even the evil xiborgs (Z-Borgs) from outer space! I’m glad you and all of our friends are safe! We’re going to be best friends forever!

Allie

Nothing can get between us!

Eddie

(Taunting, no longer friendly)
Not even Jeremy, Allie?

Jeremy

CUT! Allie. Very funny. I know it’s the last day, but let’s please stay on track everybody.

Allie

Uh. Sorry, I didn’t say that.

Jeremy David’s

That’s enough, Allie. Let’s pick up from “Best friends forever”.

Action!

Eddie

Oh boy, oh boy. Are you scared of me, Jeremy?

Jeremy
(sturn)
Allie.

Allie

Eddie, that’s enough.

Jeremy
(Frustrated)
CUT!

Eddie

No! Keep it rolling. Hey Jeremy! Here’s an impression of what your wife would look like if she knew you fucked Allie last night.

Eddie‘s mouth gapes open and is held in that pose. Allie is stunned.

Gaped like a fish! Hahahahaha.

Jeremy
Dear god, Allie…
Eddie

Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy. . . I want to wear your skin Jeremy. I
want to taste her with your mouth. I want to know what it’s like
to fuck Allie. Do you think your wife thinks about it? What’s its like when you’re fucking her, Jeremy?

Jeremy

Allie, that’s enough!

Eddie starts moving his mouth while Allie speaks.

Allie

Stop! Stop it! Stop it. I wouldn’t ever say that! I wouldn’t ever say those things! What are you all staring at! I wouldn’t ever do that. I didn’t kill Charlie. I didn’t hurt Laura. She’s fine! He told me that she’s going to be fine! He helped her! He made her better. Charlie is fine, he’s okay, I saw him! He told me Charlie would be fine. I’m not bad. Why are you all scared of me! I know what it takes to make it. He knows what it takes to make it and He promised me I’d be a star. He knows I can be whatever He’d like. He’s not bad either, I liked being a star! His star! I liked when He would kiss me. Stop feeling bad for me! I’m not like that anymore! He made me feel like a star. He would appear to me with a spiked tail and a face on his ass, lips where his asshole should be and I would kiss those lips. He greeted me and showed me how to be a star! He ate me out and I liked it. I liked it! I would cry up to Him and Thank Him and He wouldn’t answer!

I’d dance for Him and He’d never pick me while I asked Him for my freedom. Whoever answered gave it to me. Oh, Eddie! Please kill me! I don’t want to be here anymore! I’m not like this! Let go of me! Leave me alone! Stop touching me! 

Scene 11. – The final scene. – On set.

I had such a good day with you all! and with you Eddie! Let’s be best friends forever!

Film Crew Jeremy
And…CUT!

The End.
