Trading Spaces Underground (Part Two)


--



(*Jareth and Sarah rush to Hoggle's hovel. Stuffy
decorator Doug is looking around the room.*)

DOUG: Hello, Jareth, Sarah. So what would you like
to do with Hoggle's sitting room?

SARAH: Well, he definitely wants more storage
space. He collects so many jewels and trinkets.

JARETH: (*Blowing a loud raspberry.*) He's a bloody
magpie. It's his own fault if his jewels are taking
over the whole house.

DOUG: I think shelves are definitely needed in
here. Maybe a brighter color on the walls would be
good, too.

JARETH: (*Sarcastically.*) What? And get rid of
the mildew?

(*Hoggle and Sir Didymus are in the castle throne
room with mild-mannered decorator Frank.*)

FRANK: So guys, what exactly did you have in mind
for this disaster of a throne room?

HOGGLE: Just cleaning it up would be an
improvement.

SIR DIDYMUS: Even if we do well with redecorating
the room, how can we be certain that His Majesty will
keep it clean?

FRANK: I whole-heartedly agree that this place has
got to be cleaned. Maybe if we bring more color into
the room, Jareth would have incentive to keep it
clean.

HOGGLE: Maybe so; it is so grey in here.

FRANK: We've got a lot to do, so let's get started.
(*He steps into a pile of chicken dung.*) The
sooner, the better.

(*Back at Hoggle's hovel. Doug has cans of
housepaint on the floor; everyone is sitting down to
get a close look.*)

DOUG: We've got to paint the walls to cover up the
mildew stains. I have some colors that may do the
trick. (*He pries open a can of paint to reveal a
dark, mud-brown color.*)

JARETH: (*Sneering.*) You really consider that hue
an improvement?

SARAH: It looks like the inside of my brother's
diapers.

DOUG: (*Snorting.*) I haven't had a chance to show
you the other paints. Look at this one. (*He opens a
can of lime-green paint.*)

JARETH: That one looks like baby food.

DOUG: Well, Hoggle's an earth element creature.
I'm just using conducive colors.

SARAH: (*Sardonically.*) Why don't you just put a
moss print wallpaper border up too?

DOUG: (*Not realizing Sarah was just joking.*)
What a great idea!
