Subject: vitameatavegimin fast!!

Question
hey i have been searching franticly to find the COMPLETE scritp to the vitameatavegimin episode and i cant find it anywhere!! i could really use it for a interpritation in my speech class...i would really appritiate it if you could help me find the complete part to where she does the comercial...including where she gets drunk!!!

Answer
sadly, there is no easy way for you to do this.   my best advice is to rent the dvd and watch it.   what you are looking for is episode #30 from the first season.

in this episode Lucy manages to get a role as the "Vitameatavegamin girl" and is tasked with trying to sell the public a tonic that has healthy amounts of vitamins, meat, vegetables, minerals - and the less healthy dose of 23% alcohol. During a number of rehearsals, Lucy has to drink some of the dreadful-tasting tonic and makes grimacing facial expressions while saying, "It's so tasty, too. just like candy!". but due to the high alcoholic content Lucy begins to get drunk and slur her lines (especially the pronunciation of "Vitameatavegamin"), but also begins to find the taste more palatable. By the time she goes live with the commercial, her lines "Do you poop out at parties? Are you unpopular?" become "Do you pop out at parties? are you un-poopular?" and then she chugs the Vitameatavegamin bottle again.

It's a hilarious scene, but after much research, finding only "snippets" my advice is to sit and watch and listen.  take notes.  it's not that long a scene, but if it's dialoge you want, that's your best bet.

unless you'd like to buy a book or two.  i have a couple suggestions there, but the expense may be more than you are willing to go for.

hope this helps!  good luck!
