Faces-Wash
The parents walked into my office. This time, they promised, they had finally figured out how to commercialize their kid(s) beyond the medical studies.
Dim lights, full screen on the monitor.
[Open scene; a white, naturally lit bathroom; we see a teenage girl standing in profile, looking in the mirror, singing into a toothbrush in the hand closer to the camera, which is slowly circling to a front-view of her face]
“You’re the one thing”
[the camera circles further, revealing that this is not an ordinary girl, but a two-headed boy/girl; he sings]
“I can’t get enough of!”
“I’ll tell you something”
“This could belong because”
[the camera has stopped moving and is focused on their faces in the mirror]
“No, it’s ‘this could be love’”
“It’s ‘this could belong.’”
“Dude. Google it.”
“Finish brushing your teeth first. Actually I haven’t brushed my teeth yet. Gimme the toothbrush.”
“Get your own toothbrush.”
“I threw mine out yesterday, it was all old and gross. We share a body, we can share a toothbrush.”
“Don’t you think sharing a body is enough, now we have to share a toothbrush too? Use the teeth wipes.”
“Tooth wipes”
“Teeth wipes.”
“Whatever, give me the Faces-Wash.”
[the camera cuts to the product]
“I love that stuff, it keeps my skin from drying off and flaking.”
“What are you talking about, it keeps my skin from getting oily and shiny. How could something that keeps my skin oil-free, keep your skin soft?”
[the camera moves again, this time to show their real faces, not their reflection]
“I dunno, but it does.”
“Yea, I guess it does.”
Together: “I guess Faces-Wash is the one thing we can agree on!”
