VISUALS: INTRO: Lady Egg is sitting reading a magazine in her room, lit by a theatrical spot light.

Headlines about poverty are projected onto the stage, and images of the needy. Inspired, Lady Egg puts down the magazine and gets up to look in her heart shaped wardrobe. MUSIC FEEL: This is a quiet moment, were thinking sparse music, solo piano, solo voice. Introspective.

LYRICS: INTRO: 0:00 - 0:12 (TRT 00:12) LADY EGG (internally thinking or lip syncing?): When people round the world dying in the streets You know that there is something, something that they need

The stage continues to turn the doors of the wardrobe magically opens and the shoes flying out. One rests on her finger as she turns to face the audience and releases it out of the window MUSIC FEEL: This is more uptempo feel. Lady Egg is still thinking to herself, so still solo piano and voice.

0:13 - 0:18 (TRT 00:05) LADY EGG (internally thinking or lip syncing?): They need shoes! Shoes! Just send em your shoes.

Camera pulls out as lights come on illuminating the rest of the stage. The shoes fly off stage and the chorus comes on.

0:19 - 0:31 (TRT 00:12)

CUT TO: The chorus are circling around her on a conveyor belt. We see posed examples of the trusty trainers, high heels from a prom, and penny loafers. Lady EGG comes into shot on the conveyor belt holding the ugly sandals. She puts the sandals in a bag and jumps off the conveyor belt leaving the sandals to travel away. Flashing billboard signs come on reading They need shoes! MUSIC FEEL: This is potentially where a male chorus could come in and serve as background voices. This is the FULL Broadway feel with full instrumentation. Still Piano, but perhaps add in drums here, another chord instrument? Maybe horns? The chorus forms a heart shape around Lady Egg with shoes. Lady Egg is lifted up onto a pile of shoes boxes by the chorus. The shoe box pile grows higher and higher. A swing comes onto the stage. Lady EGG gets onto the swing, scattering shoes to the crowds below. The lighting changes to focus on her, she swings in slow-motion, enamored of herself and her saintliness. A graphic projection onto the sky behind her shows Lady Eggs imagination- she is receiving a crown from the needy for giving them shoes, they are extremely grateful. Lady Egg swings through the sky backdrop and the projection. MUSIC FEEL: This section currently is a ritardando, but were thinking itd be good to stay uptempo until ...with their closets full of partially worn shoes.

CHORUS POV Grab an old pair of your trusty trainers, or maybe some high heels from your prom. Dig up those old brown penny loafers, or those ugly ass sandals you got from your mom. CHORUS 0:32 - 0:34 (TRT 00:02) Put em in a bag! Drop em off!

0:35 - 0:47 (TRT 00:12) CHORUS Youve done a good deed, Now you can scoff at those one-percenters who dont care like you, with their closets full of partially worn shoes.

The camera pans quickly down with Lady Egg falling to reveal the Land of the Needy - wide establishing shot of the needy land.

0:48 - 1:10 (TRT 00:22 without disaster line added back in) LADY EGG (somber)

CUT TO: We see the needy in individual scenarios with a pull back and reveal camera move, lit up by spot lights. Some are trying to eat the shoes, some passout from the smell of them, some have tried to use shoes as a loin cloth. At the end of the line Lady Egg takes a bow and treads on a roller skate and falls back into a house which collapses, starting a domino effect destroying the needy land. MUSIC FEEL: This is our slow-mo part. The emotion is at the peak of sarcastic here. The music is rubato and has some r&b feel.

Children round the world can run and play, even if starvation gets in the way. [CUT?: When disaster strikes in a far off place]

You're old shoes will help everyone escape...

1:11 - 1:20 (TRT 00:09) CHORUS The domino effect culminates with Lady Egg getting killed by the set falling on her. The chorus jump back in. They need shoes! Shoes! Just send em your shoes. They really need shoes!

The chorus slide into the frame on their knees and do Jazz hands. The music stops and theres a pause of silence.

Typographic frame with the message of Establishment for the greater good.
