 |
COLD OPEN | Oscar announces today's sponsors, while his pet goat Lassie (David Rudman) chews on Maria's sleeve, eventually ripping it off. The goat becomes more ravenous and chases after Maria, while Oscar preoccupies himself by introducing the "sunny days" song. |
  |
SCENE 1 | Maria's shirt is all chewed up thanks to the goat. Maria's fairy godmother overhears her laments about going home to change, and poofs out of nowhere and offers to give her better clothes. First, she magically puts Maria in a ballgown (as she did for Cinderella), then in a nurse's outfit when Maria requests a work uniform. When neither of those satisfy Maria, the fairy godmother realizes that Maria should wear clothes appropriate for her job, so she puts Maria back in her original chewed-up outfit. (Maria: "I should have gone to the ball.") |
