SCENE 1

(We open up onto an image of a girl sleeping in a reading nook under her bed/loft which also has a desk under it. An alarm blares, waking her up. She smacks her head on the underside of the desk.)

Lizzie: (yelling)Owwwwww Fudge!! Stupid alarm...(holding her head)

Cas:(groggily yelling)Hey! Some of us are trying to sleep here!!

Lizzie: Okay, ok(She mutters a curse word in Italian then picks up the startled cat that was, until she woke it up sleeping in her swivel chair)Stronzo...I'm sorry Slinky. Mamma didn't mean to wake you up. Cas is sorry too-

Cas:(from the kitchen)No I'm not(pauses to yawn) that cat stinks.

Lizzie: You think a furry rat qualifies as a pet.

Cas: It's a GUINEA PIG.

(Lizzie goes into the kitchen and puts Slinky down on a stool outside of Cas's doorway)

Lizzie:(mocking him)It's a guinea pig.(changing tones)You gonna make the coffee or am I?

Cas:(doing puppy eyes)I'll make some pancakes if I don't have shelving duty during second shift.(no longer doing puppy eyes)And plus you can't cook so who else is going to.

Lizzie:(slightly defensive)I can cook.

Cas: The day that you can cook I'll be playing Elder Cunningham in Book of Mormon.

(Cas chuckles to himself and goes into the pantry to get the ingredients, Lizzie starts to sing/hum the words to "Sugar, Butter, Flour" to herself)

Lizzie:(quietly)What's inside? Dododitdo Oh what's insiiideee?

Marsha:(coming up the spiral staircase)Wassaup biatches?!?!(To Cas)Hey you ready for the audition later?
