My Milk Shake: Journey of the Shake
This song has been stuck in my head for about 3 weeks. Wish I knew why. I wish I could stop it. In addition to it playing constantly in my head I can not stop making what I think are hilarious renditions of this horrid song. IE: The Charlie Day photo. OR this screenplay written at 5am Thursday morning.
MY milkshake—-the journey of the shake
Two girls in their mid 20’s gather to the island of a kitchen. Girl A is drinking a milkshake, turning her head every so often toward the window. After a few sips from the milk shake Girl A walks over to the window and peeks through the shade.
Girl A
(sighs)
Girl B
What’s wrong?
GIRL A
It’s nothing. It’s just…
Girl B
It’s just what?
Girl A
It’s just my milk shake
Girl B shrugs her shoulders.
Girl B
What about your milk shake?
Girl A
My milk shake brings all the boys to the yard.
She looks over her shoulders towards the window before walking again to peek through the shades.
Girl B
Seriously?
Girl B joins her in peeking through the window.
Girl A
Yea. Seriously.
Girl B
What? I make milk shakes all the time. No boys ever come to my yard.
Girl A
Well, that’s simple. Mine are better than yours.
Girl B
What? That’s not true.
Girl A
Damn right it’s better than yours!
Both girls head back to the kitchen counter.
Girl B
(sighs)
I want boys to come to my yard because of my milk shakes. This sucks.
Girl A
I could teach you, if you wanted.
Girl B
Would you? Oh man, that would be awesome!
Girl A
I could teach you…butttt I would have to charge.
Girl B
Really? You’re going to make me pay you for lessons. That is pretty rude of you.
Girl A
Listen, I know you want it. This thing…it makes the guys go crazy. They lose their minds.
Girl b
Fine, I guess. Teach me.
The next scene is a montage of the girls making several milk shakes. The blender explodes. Girl B keeps making mistakes. Girl A tastes a few, spits it out. By the end Girl A throws the blender. Girl B is on the ground crying. The last shot is of Girl A tasting the milk shake.
Girl A
You’ve done it.
Girl B
I did? I did?
girl a
I believe so. But there is only one way to tell.
girl b
How?
Girl A motions her head to the window. Girl B walks over and opens the door. In the front of her building is a boy standing there. He waves. She turns around to face Girl A but Girl A is gone.
girl b
I did it! There is a boy in the yard…He is there…he is…Hello? Where did you go?
She walks to the counter to find a note stuffed in the blender.
The Note reads;
Blend it and they will come. You have made me realize that life is a treasure that comes through hard work and determination. All that you owe me now is a promise. A promise to yourself that you will forever make milkshakes and bring multiple boys to multiple yards. I must go now. Thank you. Thank you so very much.
Girl B holds the letter to her heart.
Girl B
I will never forget you. Never.
end scene.
