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, INTRODUCING THE QUEEN OF
WORDS, 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 giggles and says THANKS, PROFESSOR P.
ARE YOU READY TO MAINTAIN YOUR
VOCABULARY?

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 MAINTAIN!
TO CONTINUE TO KEEP UP OR KEEP
THE SAME.
IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY
BODY, YOU NEED TO EAT LOTS OF
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY
GROWING UP IN THE DEPTHS OF
SARNIA.

Lady Vocab chuckles as she says THAT'S FUNNY, I CAN'T PICTURE
YOU AS A YOUNG BOY.

Professor P says OH, IT HAPPENED.
ANYWAY, I WANTED TO BE

He raises his arms showing his muscles and continues BODY
BUILDING CHAMPION OF CANADA, AND
IN ORDER TO BE THE BEST, I HAD
TO EAT THE BEST!

Lady Vocab says MAINTAIN GOOD
HEALTH?

The word pops into view in large shiny purple letters.

Professor P says I HAD TO PUSH
MYSELF TO PHYSICAL LIMITS!

Lady Vocab says OH, MAINTAIN YOUR
PHYSIQUE, YOUR MUSCLES?

Professor P pretends to weight lift as he says EXACTLY!

Lady Vocab says SO, WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR MUSCLES AND BODY
BUILDING CAREER?

Professor P says WELL, THEY'RE
BOTH IN TOP FORM!

Lady Vocab frowns as she says NEVER MIND.

She points to the keyboard and says HIT IT!
M-A-I-N-T-A-I-N
M-A-I-N-T-A-I-N

The letters flash on screen.
