The Beautician and the Beast

---

Ah, an enchanted princess.

You're not a dwarf!

Fair maiden,

we shall be married at once.

Married! One kiss and I'm engaged?

I wasn't even awake to enjoy it.

Begone! Watch where you walk.

The bunnies eat a lot of fruit.

- You'll be my princess.

- That's no bargain.

Affairs, bulimia,

divorce. I read People.

- Here.

- Unhand me.

- I'm too young to get married.

- I like a sense of humour.

No! I've got goals,

I've got dreams, ambitions.

Wait. Come back! Miss Miller!

Miss Miller.

Miss Miller? Miss Miller!

Oh! I must've been having

a little nightmare.

- I'm sorry.

- It's time.

I'm sorry. I'm juggling three jobs and...

This audition is so important to me.

- We're on in 45 minutes.

- Thank you.

Hi. My name is Joy.

It is such a pleasure to meet you.

I'm such a big fan.

If I get this job, I guarantee

you'll never frizz or kink up.

On Fridays, I'll give you a set so stiff

you won't have to touch it till Monday.

- Just keep it simple.

- Sure. My motto's "Less is more".

- Thirty sec...

- Doesn't she look gorgeous?

Come on.

This is so exciting.

I swear, I never miss you on TV.

In five, four, three, two...

Good evening.

Welcome to New York State Lotto.

Tonight you could win or share

a jackpot of $3 million.

And now for tonight's

winning lottery numbers.

They gave the job to a cool,

sophisticated European.

Call me a realist.

Is teaching night school so terrible?

One day you could own

your own beauty parlour.

- Maybe raise a family, God forbid?

- I don't wanna settle.

Sweetheart, I say this

because I love you.

Settle! Meanwhile, did you see

me take one or two Mylantas?

I'm still not good.

Don't listen to your mother.

She's not like us. We're dreamers.

But, Daddy, you settled

and opened a stationery store.

No. That was my dream. I love cards.

- But look...

- Ma.

I do want to settle down one day, but

with a guy with less jewellery than me.

- You always set your sights too high.

- When I meet the right guy, I'll know.

I dunno how.

I'll feel an utz in my stomach.

Hi, sweetie! Ma, he still biting himself?

The vet says it's stress. What do

you have to be stressful about?

I can't imagine...

Royal blue, rust, sapphire,

turquoise, violet and wine.

Excellent! The ultra-pearl shadows

are the hardest. Now, let's see...

- It's not right.

- Move the mole.

Class, the mole always goes over the

left lip. It balances the cigarette, see?

If it's on the same side,

you look like you'll fall over.

It's called Revlon, not Dutch Boy.

Class! What's our motto?

"Flashy, not..."

- "...trashy."

- Excellent.

Hector, no! The cigarette!

Hairspray is flammable.

- I ain't smoking no cigarette.

- Oh, my God! Fire!

Somebody get a spritzer bottle!

Go spritz it! Hurry!

A big fire! A big fire!

We'll get outta here. I'm the teacher.

- Get outta here, single file.

- I've got it!

Don't panic! Move slowly!

Single file! We'll get outta here!

People, don't worry about your stuff.

We're all gonna get out alive.

- We gotta save the animals.

- I ain't saving rats. Burn, baby, burn!

Don't breathe. Don't inhale.

It's the smoke that gets you.

Hold on, I'm coming.

I'm gonna save you.

I can't believe I'm doing this!

Relax, it's just embossed vinyl.

Bring it up! Come on! Keep it coming!

Two guys on the roof!

That's it. That's all of 'em.

You're a hero, Miss Miller.

- Do you need any oxygen?

- Huh?

Oh, no thanks, fireman.

I'm fine, thank you.

- I'm feeling a little short of breath.

- He was talking to me.

Hey, Miss Miller. Smile!

Oh, no!

Her.
