FADE IN:

INT. SPINELLI'S HOUSE - DAY

We see FLO, a loud, boisterous, and flamboyant woman in her 30s, dressed in flashy clothing. She's on the phone.

FLO:

(into phone)

Oh, hello, darling! It's Flo Spinelli. I'm Ashley's mom.

CUT TO:

INT. COUNTRY CLUB - DAY

Flo is sitting with the other Ashleys' moms, who are all wealthy, vain, beautiful, shallow, and gossipy.

FLO:

(flattering them)

You ladies look absolutely stunning today! I swear, you're all aging backwards.

ASHLEY ARMBRUSTER'S MOM:

(smirking)

Why, thank you, Flo. You're looking...interesting.

FLO:

(laughing)

Oh, this old thing? I just threw it together.

ASHLEY QUINLAN'S MOM:

(gossiping)

Did you hear about the Johnsons' divorce?

FLO:

(eagerly)

No, do tell!

The other moms start gossiping, and Flo joins in, trying to fit in.

FLO:

(gossiping)

And I heard the Wilsons' son is on probation!

ASHLEYS' MOTHERS:

(impressed)

Scandalous!

FLO:

(smiling)

Well, someone has to keep the social scene alive!

The other moms laugh, and Flo beams with pride.

CUT TO:

INT. SPINELLI'S HOUSE - DAY

Flo is on the phone again.

FLO:

(into phone)

Ashley, sweetie, you won't believe the connections I made today!

ASHLEY SPINELLI (V.O.):

(over phone)

Mom, what are you doing?

FLO:

(into phone)

I'm social climbing, darling! I'm going to make us part of the elite!

ASHLEY SPINELLI (V.O.):

(over phone)

Mom, stop. You're embarrassing me.

FLO:

(into phone)

Oh, don't be ridiculous, Ashley. This is our ticket to the top!

FADE TO BLACK.
