To send or not to send? That's the question. What to do ? I agreed with Rachel, that when introducing ones family one should include an honest introduction of all members. However I'm not so sure ho I feel about including mother in the videos. Sure it is better to clear thinks up before people might speculate and start rumours. Going behind Elisabeth's back isn't sitting that well with me either. She tends to feel sorry for herself quite enough. I'm not worried that she will find out about the attached pared of the video, she doesn't watch them in any case. ….

Well here it goes …. SEND. It's done … for better or worse.

Third episode of the Elisabeth Elliot Show: "Starring ME and my friends"

(transcript)

Anne: You can start now.

Elisabeth: Hello my dears. Welcome to the Elisabeth Elliot Show. *blows a kiss to the camera*

Nelly: Hello everyone. *waves and smiles*

Elisabeth: Everyone this is me very special friend Penelope "Nelly" Clay. We first met at an audition for a commercial. Where she snatched up the part of my best friend and we've been besties ever since. * linking pinkies together and smiling at the camera*

Nelly: We went out for the same part and I became Ely's understudy. And when the person how was supposed to play her best friend had to decline the role Ely suggested me to the director and I got the part.*smiling gratefully to Elisabeth*

Elisabeth: Well you deserved It you were the best person for the part in the first place. You know what I thought of that person she was just so common. I don't know what the director was thinking. I bet she just got the part because of the diversity issues... * huffs annoyed*

small pause

Nelly: Are you going to tell them the big news?

Anne: What news?

Elisabeth:*gives Anne an angry look* Anne don't forget the camera okay? *Then smiles* Oh the big news I almost forgot. Well my dears Nelly and I went to an audition for a brand new Netflix Show and we both got the parts we wanted. So in two weeks from today we are going to move to New York to start filming. *squeal* I am so exited aren't you.

Nelly: Of course I can't wait to pack.

Anne: Elisabeth.

Elisabeth: Yes, what now.

Anne: I just have a question. Can you borrow the video equipment from someone in New York?

Elisabeth: Why would I have to do that? *annoyed*

Anne: Well, I doubt that Rachel can let you take the equipment with you … *trails off*

Elisabeth: Why would I need that stuff. *now seriously confused*

Anne: To make these videos.

Elisabeth: Oh, Anne. *amused* You can't be really thinking that I would have the time to make these, while being so busy.

Anne: So, you are going to stop?

Elisabeth: Of course not. Don't be so stupid. I already planned it all out. I will send you instructions on what to film and what to do. It isn't that complicated. Do you really think I would disappoint my fans. *smile and wink to the camera*

Anne:*stunned into silence*

Elisabeth: Rachel can probably help you since you are likely staying with her.

Anne: Why would I be staying with Rachel?*confused*

Elisabeth: What? Where else would you be staying? It's not like you could afford your own apartment.

Anne: Why can't i stay in my room.

Nelly: I think what Ely means is where are you going to stay when the renters move in?

Elisabeth: Exactly.

Anne: Renters?

Elisabeth: Of course hasn't Daddy told you. When I told him about my great news he realised that no one would need the house and it would be better to rent it out. You know Nelly's father is a real-estate agent and he got us a really good deal.

Nelly: Anne my Dad says that the Crofts are moving in in 4 weeks so you should have enough time to pack up and find a new place for the duration.

Anne: The Crofts? *Anne becomes pail*

Nelly: The renters. They are a really nice couple. They wont make any trouble.

Elisabeth: Well, I'm not so sure. They are a bit too dark for my liking, but the don't have any children either. So they probably wont steal anything.

Nelly: For sure. They are well mannered, civilised church going people.

Anne: They are moving in here in 4 weeks.

Elisabeth: Yes Anne keep up. But the next two weeks we will still be all you behind your screens will still have me and maybe Nelly again. So see … Oh wait Nelly lets say it together.

Nelly: Great idea. On three, one... two... three

Elisabeth and Nelly: See you all next time at the Elisabeth Elliot Show.

Elisabeth: *blows a kiss to the camera*

Camera turns off.
