SPECIAL EDITION OF "ICFTMOSB"
How I would've written the Script for today's "De Mananita
By Steve Baxley

>Today folks was the first day my love Pita and crew entered their studio for "DM",
and although they did a really funny script..i thought I'd do my own version of it just to show you my creative "Juice"..You be the judge


"De Mananita" Opening of their new studio

Scene: Inside Telemundo Studios,we first see the anchors of "HOY EN EL MUNDO" Marian De la Fuente and Jose- Diaz-Balart about to wrap up the show and toss to commerical, this time its a seamless transition,as the screen begins to fade to black, as we come from commercial we see the traditional TELEMUNDO I.D.play full screen
we switch to a Television monitor outside STUDIO D where "DM" Executive Producer Rafael Matos is nervously pacing back and forth watching the monitor and checking the clock, He gets word from the control room that he is on camera..

Rafael: Where are they, we start in 1 minute..(Notices the camera)oh, hello everyone, I'm Rafael Matos and welcome to 'De Mananita",I know we are supposed to start right now from our new studios, but for the life of me , I DONT KNOW WHERE THEY ARE..(Gets a word in his IFB) uh..im being told by our producer that there is a disturbance at the "COTORRENDO" Studios,im checking with our producer to see if we have a camera there now, take the live shot from Studio Guys.

Scene Switches to Cotorrendo studios as we see a Pita,Ricky and Roberto in the studio about to start the show when along comes Mauricio,estaban,natalie,and Luisa.

Pita:Wheres the crew, we got a show to do, come on
Ricky: Yea, we are late to get the show started,we got a good monday show !
Roberto:You got that right guys, we are late, I cant wait f..(notices the Cortorrendo hosts and their crew coming) uh, hi guys, we are just getting ready to do a show here , whats going on??

natalie: yes guys,time to go! take all these boxes with you to your new studios (notices a picture of Steve Baxley with Pita) Whoa mama, who is this hunk! ITS JACK BLACK!!!
Luisa: Looks like Raoul de molina,but I do see a bit of Jack Black.
(Both women start to grab at the photo)
Pita: NO! NO! thats my Steve! you cant have him..(puts photo up to her to protect it)

-While the women argue ..the crew from Cotorrendo gets a cart and puts all the boxes on it, Pita takes the fish and her picture of Steve Baxley on the cart while Roberto and Ricky have problems with some of teh boxes, a couple of Cotorrendo staffers accidentally push roberto into the boxes, Pita slips a bit trying to avoid the fall all get into a pushing and shoving match as Cotorrendo playfully pushes the DM crew out of the studio, a disgruntled stage manager shouts "COME ON GUYS GET OUT !!' Ricky tosses a water balloon at the stage manager, its misses and hits natalie, who is now drenced..Roberto high fives Ricky..Pita looks sternly ..but a glint of a smile hits her,she kisses the photo of Steve and Misty..

Ricky: He better show up soon..


The scene shifts back to Studio D as Rafeal talks with some guards

Rafael:They are on their way?,GOOD!! ..uh,You'll enjoy the new set ladies and gentlemen, we have a great crew that worked hard to build and create a home enviroment,more viewer friendly..and very accessable,what can I say, its good!
(gets another control room message)..They are??!!, well do we have a shot, TAKE IT!

-Scene Switches to the corrador of Telemundo as they continue to push the cart boxes are dropped, ricky and roberto pick them up as Pita tries to stedy the rest of the boxes, as the turning around towards STUDIO D.

Rafael: Finally!! here they come!! (he starts to the control room,when a couple of security guards come in and see what is going on)

Security Guard 1:No one passes here unless they have a card
Security guard 2:right!,no card..no entry.. (notices the cart with the DM crew)

An arguement insues,then Rafeal comes in and tells the guard to let them in, they finally do as we fade into the new studio..

While Pita and ricky look at the studio,Roberto plays "HORSE" with Claudia Trejos,

next scene we see Pita nd ricky address the camera,roberto comes in to the studio,but in a t-shirt..Pita and ricky question him..when Claudia passes by with Roberto's shirt..

Claudia: Well Roberto,now you know not to mess with the best ..especially when we got the NBA/WNBA....you lose your shirt!
