VIDEO FOOTAGE PANS OVER A SELECTION OF SOUNDTRACKS AND RECORDS FROM THE ELSEWHERE COLLECTION. CHOICE PARTS ARE HIGHLIGHTED – JULIE ANDREW’S FACE, KIDS FROM FAME, MANY VERSIONS BY MANTOVANI OF WEST SIDE STORY TRACKS
KRISTINA – holding up a record – speaks as the second record can be seen on the video
West side story?
KATIE
Very good for practicing our Puerto Rican accents…and our Zumba moves! What a perfect marriage. The song, though…America! Too obvious, maybe? There must be a nice duet in there…
KRISTINA
I don’t know…it’s all a bit…(New York accent again)
Tony, Tony! Maria! Maria!
KATIE
There just don’t seem to be that many with good female duets… Have you seen Carousel – with Carrie and Julie? I was desperate to be Julie when I was a child
KRISTINA
Not seen it
KATIE
Oh it’s brilliant, it’s one of my favourites…and half the action takes place in Heaven.
There are stars made of glass hanging from the ceiling and you can see the string that they are strung from.
KRISTINA
Not seen it
KATIE
Oh it’s so good! You MUST watch it. Julie is married to Billy Bigelo, this big, rough rogue who hits her and it feels like a kiss. Then he gets stabbed during a petty crime spree and the rest of the film is broadcast from heaven on his part.
Heart-breaking. Lots of fairground scenes if that’s your bag.

KRISTINA
Nothing involving Julie Andrews

KATIE
But I really do like My Fair Lady, you know. I don’t care that Audrey Hepburn has that weird Swedish cockney accent. That’s my dream role. Especially after Martine McCutcheon made the crossover and played the role in the West End. The story I suppose would kind of complement this piece, you know, facades and pretence and all that, but…it’s set in London and we want to¬ forget about that place!
We want something American don’t we,

how about Calamity Jane? It’s got some good numbers…
KATIE
Mmmm…if my memory serves me correctly…

A Butch cow-girl rides into to town and everyone thinks she’s a bloke…
so she sets up home with the most peaches n cream gal in town…In a wooden shed!
And her name’s Katie
They do up the place…There are quite a few ‘chicks with tools’ shots before freshly-cut flowers and
gingham tablecloths enter the scene. And then they paint their names on their front door in nice handwriting!
