Crystaline

Sally.....Maya Rudolph
Husband.....Will Forte


[ open on suburban kitchen - Ann pulls Sally's dishes out of the dishwasher ]

Ann: Sally, these dishes are spotless!

Sally: [ grabs a squeeze bottle of Crystaline from the sink ] That's because I use Crystaline, the new dishwashing liquid that can eat away at stains and spit them out. You see, ordinary dishwashing liquids barely scratch the surface; but Crystaline is an acid-based cleansing liquid, which means it can tear apart almost anything it comes into contact with. In fact, Crystaline is so effective that you don't even realzie it's eating away at your skin when you wash dishes by hand - even if you're wearing rubber gloves. But that's a small price to pay for a shine like this.

[ Sally's bony, fleshless fingers hold up a shiny dish ]

Ann: Wow, that's some shine! And some disfigurement.

Sally: It certainly, but what's more important - tight skin, or clean dishes? Only acid can eat the hell out of those super-tough stains, and that's why I'll only use Crystaline. As an added bonus, it removes tile grout with just one spray.

[ Forte steps forward as Sally's husband. He holds a spray canister of Crystaline, wearing a skeleton shirt over his torso ]

Husband: But remember to bundle up when you use Crystaline, because it splashes the dickens out of you.

[ the two women laugh at his cleaning mishap ]

[ cut to product display ]

Announcer: Crystaline is available in a supermarket near you. That's Crystaline - for the greatest shine you don't want to touch.

[ fade ]
