"Bulldog With A Pink Bow"

Situation: Cara often found herself in interesting situations, surrounded by interesting people. To help make a better splash, she wanted to somehow become more lovely, gracious and interesting.

Idea / execution: In keeping with her tough, but pleasant personality, a bulldog with a pink bow philosophy, handout cards and simulated scene dialogues were created to help Cara learn – and enjoy – a fresh presentation of herself.

Excerpt from sample scene:

INT. PRIVATE HOME DINING ROOM – EVENING

An interesting blend of influential people are gathered around a large table to eat, drink and talk – the perfect opportunity for CARA to memorably introduce herself and discuss what she does for a living.

     LEONA
Oh Hans - you’re not telling that same
story again, are you?

     HANS
Ha ha - yes yes…

     LEONA
Don’t believe him Cara - everything that
man touches turns to gold.

     HANS
Ha ha – Leona you flatter me.

     LEONA
Hans, I would like you to meet a friend
of mine: Cara Brust.

    HANS
(hand kiss) It is a pleasure to meet you.

     CARA
Hello.

Small talk ensues. Cara steers the conversation in the direction of describing ones self. Hans gives his answer, then –

    HANS   
…And you? How might such a delicate
flower describe itself?

     CARA
Well - I’m a bulldog…
(pause) with a pink bow.
     
     HANS
Bulldog?!? With a…

     CARA
Pink bow.

    HANS
How does this mean?

     CARA
(snaps fingers) I’m tough…
(winks and smiles) But friendly.

     TEX
Yeeeehaw!

     LEONA
Tex - behave yourself.

     TEX
(removes hat) Sorry little lady.

     CARA
(laughs it off) That’s okay.
I believe the work I do sums
me up pretty well.

     HANS
And what is it you do?

     CARA
I’m a Production Efficiency expert.

     HANS
I do not know of zis?!?

     CARA
I provide very aggressive, very systematic
TV production consultation - with a smile.

     TEX
Tough. But pleasant.

Others chime in on the conversation.

     SHARON
Like a bulldog with a pink bow.

     GABE
Such chutzpah.

     FERNANDO
I am impressed - more wine!
