"The Nutcracker"

fade in

int of prima's house / night

Fade into a MEDIUM SHOT of all the girls putting decorations on a Christmas tree.  PRIMA is being very precise about what decorations she's putting on.  MIMI is basically just throwing things on and hoping they look nice.  PRIMA has to come along and fix it. 

There's wine glasses and other liquor bottles sitting around the room.  MIMI has a glass in her hand.

(sounding annoyed)

MIMI stop it!  I want everything to look nice!

MIMI laughs and tosses some more tinsel.  It lands haphazardly on a branch in a clump.  She takes a drink.  COCO and DIVA are trying not to laugh because they can see PRIMA is getting ticked off.  COCO takes the tinsel from MIMI's hand and DIVA gives her a "warning-type" of look. 

Getting the point, MIMI goes and sits on the couch.  She's still laughing - quite amused by her own antics.  PRIMA is busy fixing the tree.

There's a box of decorations on the floor beside MIMI.  She reaches in and takes out a larger ballerina figurine (not for the tree).  She reaches in and takes out a similar sized Santa. (they're the kind that sit on the floor or a table for decoration).

MIMI gets a devious smile on her face.  She puts the Santa on his back on the table and lies the ballerina face down on top of him.  COCO and DIVA are watching and start laughing.  PRIMA turns around and looks horrified.

MIMI

What?  She's a nutcracker isn't she?

CARD MESSAGE:  Sometimes the Christmas Spirits flow a little too freely!  Happy Holidays!
