[ open on Lois and Tina lying on cots in their room ]
Lois: God, I’m hungry! This 10-day Juicefest is KILLING me!
Tina: I know what you mean! It’s nothing like the catalog my husband showed me! I thought it would be FRUIT CUPS… CHEESE BOARDS… maybe a couple of LAUGHS!
Lois: Some Fat Farm. This place is more like a… like a…
Tina: Say it! Say it!
Lois: Like a PRISON!
Tina: And the name! It sounded so nice — Lean Acres.
[ the title appears superimposed over the scene ]
[ the Counselor enters the room ]
Counselor: Alright, you cows! Weigh in! On the scale! On the scale!
[ Tina steps on the scale ]
Counselor: Well… you’ve gained THREE pounds! [ she swats Tina and knocks her onto her cot ] You’ve been snacking!
Tina: [ scared ] No, really — I — I — I really didn’t! [ the Counselor pulls her up by her sweatshirt ] Maybe ONE Saltine!
Lois: [ running over ] Leave her alone!
[ the Counselor lets go of Tina, as Lois crouches against the wall ]
Counselor: What did you say?
Lois: Nothing, nothing! It was just my… stomach rumbling.
Counselor: That’s what I thought. After all, you are ten pounds away from parole. Don’t blow it.
[ Lois jumps on the scale ]
Lois: What? I lost a pound!
Counselor: Water weight, Lois. It’ll be back.
Tina: Congratulations, Lois! A whole pound!

Counselor: Shut up! I told you FAT BAGS when you came to this FAT FARM that you’re FAT! THis ain’t no cocktail party,

Counselor: [ sternly ] And you what?
Tina: Well, I think we SHOULD!!
[ the Counselor swats Tina back down again ]
Lois: Why don’t you pick on someone you’re own size?!
Counselor: Why don’t you two lose a little weight… and maybe I will.
[ the Counselor exits the room ]
Tina: I don’t think she likes me.
Lois: I feel the same way. You okay, honey?
Tina: Oh, Lois — how did I gain? I even stopped biting my nails!
Lois: Oh, why don’t we just LEAVE, Tina? We’re not criminals!
Tina: We’re WORSE — we’re overweight!
Lois: Yeah, and our husbands can’t stand the sight of us.
Tina: Not to mention the rest of the free world…

Woman in Audience: Humans deserve RESPECT! If you uncover these layers of FAT… do we not bleed?! Huh? [ she looks among the audience ] HUH?! If you hurt our feelnigs, don’t we BLUBBER?! Where’s the “writer” of this thin attack on FAT people?!
Ann Risley: Okay… alright… writer?

[ Announcer: [ over text ] “She’s so fat that:
a) She hides money in her pores.
b) If a tree fell between her legs no one would hear it.
Or c) I can’t take much more of this sketch.
[ sound effects tally the results ]
Announcer: It’s C) I can’t take much more of this sketch.
