Script Opens up with jingle being sung by mel:

You work all the day (Person typing at a computer – showing clock turning)

So why not make it sunny(People walking outside in the sun) When you get home from work

(Car coming in the driveway)

Lets go spend some money!

(someone smiling holding out some money and shopping bags)

Show girl wearing an old dress, looking sad, spokesperson walks in dressed immaculately – looks at the screen

Spokesperson(jess): Tired of your old stuff? (girl nods).You shouldn’t stop that from making you happy

Girl(freddie): What should I do?

Spokesperson(jess): The answer is simple dear. You hold the key to your happiness. All you have to do is replace the old with the new. Consuming new products will change your life. Don’t you want to be happy?

Girl(freddie): yes

Spokesperson(jess): Well then, why would you settle for something old – like this dress, or those shoes? You will only be happy if you buy all of the things that your heart desires! Not just a new dress, or new shoes, but a new scarf, and new bracelets too. Are you ready to turn that frown upside down?

Girl(freddie): yes! (grabs purse and walks off)

Spokesperson(jess): At New World Order Inc, our job is to help you be happy. We want to lead you in the right direction. Buying a little is never enough. Do you want to live a fulfilling life? Do you want to be successful in all that you do? If you get rid of all of your old possessions (holding up an old hat, looking a bit disgusted), all of your dreams will come true! (while someone hands her a brand new hat, and she puts it on and smiles)

Girl walks back in, wearing brand new everything, and smiling!

Spokesperson(jess): You look breathtaking! (turns to camera)Don’t wait! Find out how buying new can bring you happiness. Your life depends on it!

First before and after. Child is sitting down pouting, holding an old teddy bear – in black and white. Switch to same child being given a new teddy bear – child is now happy (in color)  

spokesperson(jess): how do you like you new teddy bear son?

guy(nick): well it’s better than my old one, I’ll tell you that

spokesperson(jess): of course it is ( looks at the camera), cause you know old is evil!

Second before and after Guy is standing with an old shirt, looking down, all alone – black and white.

guy(ben): gees, if only i had a better looking shirt. If only i could-  

spokesperson(jess): open your mind in buying a new shirt?

guy(ben): why are you here?

spokesperson(jess): making your life bran new! It’s time that you open your mind to newer and better things!

Switch to guy wearing a brand new shirt, looking confident, surrounded by people- in color. :) Third before and after. Girl looking sad with messy hair – black and white.

girl cries out(sam): My hair. It’s horrible!!!

spokesperson(jess): ouuuu, you’re right it is horrible!! it’s worse than very bad fake hair!

girl(sam): well maybe i should just tie it back and put a hat on so that nobody will notice-

spokesperson(jess): No, no dear, that’s the wrong way to go. If you can’t see the bright side of life, polish the dull side. That would mean your hair. You need to get your hair done ASAP!

Switch to woman with hair done, smiling- in color.

girl(sam): my hair! oh wow it’s perfect ! it’s everything i ever wanted! i can go out now and everyone will notice

spokesperson looks at the camera

spokesperson(jess): …see consuming new products will change your life!

forth before and after. girl trying to clean her carpet with a sponge  

girl(jen): old sponge. I can’t clean anything with this old raggedy -

spokesperson(jess): you’re right it is old. It’s torn up and it’s outdated. Why keep old material possessions? They only succeed in weighing you down. You know, they say that hard work never hurts anybody, but why take the chance?

girl(jen): because my carpet needs to be clean

spokesperson(jess): True, but not with that sponge. And plus that stain was never going to come out anyway. You need a bran new sponge. throws her the sponge

girl(jen): awesome! Oh yeah it cleans !

spokesperson(jess): Of course it does (looks at the camera )because it’s new and old is evil! And there you have it. New things make people happy. Most people would rather be certain they’re miserable, than risk being happy. So risk being happy and go shop till you drop! And remember Buying new will turn you into the person you’ve always wanted to be.

(actors gather together behind the spokesperson with their new stuff and say the slogan)

Actors: Don’t dream happiness, buy happiness!!!!!!!!!!!
