HOUSEWIFE:

Life Magazine? I don't understand.

BB:

It's very simple. Ya know, we're

doing this layout about the

benefits of aluminum siding -- a

'before' and 'after' kind of

presentation.

HOUSEWIFE:

A 'before' picture?

MOE:

So they see your house, and another

one done with aluminum siding...

the other house looking so much

more beautiful.

HOUSEWIFE:

In Life Magazine?

MOE:

It's a special issue on home

improvements and ways to beautify

your home.

BB:

A wonderful issue... it's one of

the finest pictorial things we've

done here at Life... the ways you

can improve your house.

(he adjusts the

camera)

We're gonna be out of here in no

time, ma'am.

MOE:

It's gonna look very good, BB.

HOUSEWIFE:

My house is going to be the 'before'?

Can't mine be like the 'after'?

BB:

No, no... we've got a house that

looked like yours and it's been

done in aluminum... it's very

nice.

MOE:

Yeah... really shows the contrast

of what a house can look like.

HOUSEWIFE:

What does it cost?

BB:

What? The aluminum siding? Oh...

I don't know the figures offhand.

Do you have any idea, Moe?

MOE:

I think it's fairly reasonable.

HOUSEWIFE:

Could my house be the 'after' in

Life Magazine and you get another

house for the 'before.'

BB:

You mean have your house as the

'after' and find another house

that looks like your house for

the 'before'?

HOUSEWIFE:

Is it possible?

BB:

What do ya think, Moe? Would

that be ethical?

MOE:

Well, we didn't sign any agreement

with the 'after' house. We'd have

to move very quickly, ma'am... you

know what I mean?

BB:

You'd have to work out an

arrangement with an aluminum

siding company and they'd have

to do the job very quickly for

us to make our deadline...

we've got a deadline, that's the

problem.

HOUSEWIFE:

How quickly?

MOE:

BB, what do you think? Can we

slide the deadline, or what? Six

or seven days?

BB:

Pressing it. Do you think we

could manage it, Moe?

MOE:

It's pushing it, BB.

(to Housewife)

What time would your husband be

home, 'cos he'd have to go over

the figures with the salesman...

that's if there's a salesman

available this evening.

HOUSEWIFE:

He'll be home at seven.

BB:

We might be able to work it.

HOUSEWIFE:

That would be wonderful.

25 INT. WOODEN FRAMED HOUSE - NIGHT 25

BB and Moe are sitting on a sofa sipping coffee, looking

as if they were members of the family. The Housewife and

her HUSBAND are sitting across the dining room table from

Carly. Carly is going through papers, adding up figures.

CARLY:

Okay... we've got a total of
