A blue slate pops into view; the title of the show is overwritten in capital golden letters. It reads "The lady vocab show."

Professor P says IT'S THE LADY
VOCAB SHOW WITH YOUR HOST
PROFESSOR P, THAT'S ME, AND I'M
JOINED BY OUR LANGUAGE STAR, OUR
QUEEN OF GLAMOUR AND GRAMMAR
LADY VOCAB!

Professor P is in his late twenties; he has short, dark, curly hair, a moustache and dark rimmed square glasses. He’s wearing a dark grey sweater over a white shirt and tie.

Lady Vocab says THANKS PROFESSOR
P, ARE YOU READY TO ROCK THE
WORD?

Lady Vocab is in her thirties; she has straight blond hair in a bob and wears a plastic striped black and white dress that reads "window shuttle, machine package, magnetic over" with black leather gloves and square futuristic white glasses.
She stands in front of an old fashioned metal microphone.
A sign behind her reads "Vocab" in a column decreasing in size.

Professor P stands in front of a keyboard and says YES MY LADY, THE
WORD THIS WEEK IS...

He turns around and uncovers a whiteboard as he reads CONVINCE!
IT IS A VERB, AN ACTION WORD
WHICH MEANS TO OVERCOME BY
ARGUMENT OR PERSUASION.

Lady Vocab says AS IN, YOU DON'T
NEED TO ME TO PLAY MORE SONGS.

A shiny purple caption pops into view. It reads "Convince."

Professor P says PRECISELY!

Lady Vocab takes off her glasses and says YOU KNOW,
PROFESSOR P, WHEN I WAS JUST A
YOUNG GIRL GROWING UP, DREAMING
OF BEING A STAR MY PARENTS WOULD
NOT LET ME STAY UP AND READ THE
DICTIONARY.

Professor P says EVEN IN THE
SUMMER?

Lady Vocab says EVEN IN THE
SUMMER WHEN IT WAS LIGHT OUT
STILL!

Professor P frowns and says OH MY!
WELL THEN HOW DID YOU CONVINCE
THEM TO LET YOU STAY UP?

Lady Vocab says WELL I WROTE THEM
THIS SONG, YOU WANT TO HEAR IT?

Professor P says YES!

Lady Vocab stretches out her arm and says HIT IT!

He plays a tune and she spells out the word.

Lady Vocab says C-O-N-V-I-N-C-E

As she dances, Lady Vocab sings SOMETIMES
PERSUASION ISN'T EASY
YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE OTHER
PERSON SEE
YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE OTHER
PERSON AGREE
I CONVINCE YOU
AND MAKE YOU BELIEVE
CONVINCE CONVINCE.

The word flashes again and again and slides on the screen.

Lady Vocab says ALWAYS REMEMBER
TO USE YOUR WORDS!

Professor P says AND YO, I AM
CONVINCED WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT
TIME ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF THE
LADY VOCAB SHOW!
CONVINCE, CONVINCE!
