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 HELLO AND
WELCOME TO THE LADY VOCAB SHOW.
I'M YOUR HOST, PROFESSOR P, AND
NOW JOINING ME, IS THE ONE AND
ONLY 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 SOAK UP
THE WORD?

She slurps noisily.

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 AND HOW, MILADY!
THE WORD OF THIS WEEK IS

He turns around and uncovers a whiteboard as he reads ABSORB!
TO SOAK UP OR DRINK IN, LIKE A
SPONGE.
TO INVOLVE THE FULL RETENTION OF
AS IN SOMETIMES, I GET SO
ABSORBED IN LEARNING NEW WORDS,
I FORGET TO DO OTHER THINGS!

Lady Vocab asks LIKE WHAT,
PROFESSOR P?

Professor P says MOSTLY LAUNDRY.

Lady Vocab chuckles, she takes off her glasses and says YOU KNOW, PROFESSOR P, WHEN I
WAS JUST A YOUNG GIRL GROWING
UP, I WANTED TO LEARN
EVERYTHING!

Professor P frowns as he says EVERYTHING?

Lady Vocab says EVERYTHING!
I READ THE DICTIONARY, DAY AND
NIGHT, TRYING TO FIND NEW WORDS!

Professor P says TO DO WHAT?

Lady Vocab opens her arms, smiles and says TO EXPRESS
MYSELF!

Professor P says I HEARD THAT.

She laughs.

Lady Vocab says BUT THE MORE
INFORMATION I LEARNED, THE MORE
I WANTED TO LEARN.
I WAS HUNGRY.

Professor P says YOU WANTED TO
ABSORB MORE INFORMATION?

Lady Vocab stretches an arm as she says I WAS CONSUMED!

Professor P says ABSORBED!

Lady Vocab stretches the other arm as she says IMMERSED!

Professor P says ABSORBED?

Lady Vocab says INVOLVED!

Professor P stretches up both his arms as he says YOU WERE TAKING
IT ALL IN, SOAKING UP THE SUN!

Lady Vocab says I WAS...

She points to the keyboard and says HIT IT!

She spells out the word and it pops up on screen in shiny purple block letters.

She says A-B-S-O-R-B

She then dances and sings TO BE ENGAGED COMPLETELY
I SOAK UP ALL THE WORDS I CAN
GET

Professor P sings WHEN YOU ABSORB INFORMATION,
IT TAKES TIME TO PROCESS

She dances as she continues MY BRAIN IS LIKE A SPONGE,
SOAKIN' IN FACTS AND FIGURES
I'M SO OBSESSED WITH LEARNING
AND THE FUTURE

Professor P turns and sings I ABSORB THE WORLD AROUND ME

She says I LEARN BY TAKING IN
EVERYTHING
ABSORB, ABSORB

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

She sings LIKE A SPONGE, A SPONGE
ABSORB, ABSORB

He sings LIKE A SPONGE, A SPONGE
ABSORB

Professor P says THERE YOU HAVE
IT, I'M STILL ABSORBING ALL THAT
INFORMATION.
TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOR THE NEXT
LADY VOCAB SHOW!

He says ABSORB

They keep dancing as the image fades to black and a logo of TVO Kids appears.
