An Invitation for Mr. Messy




 * [The scene starts inside a messy house, with cracks on the walls and dirty items scattered all over the place. The curtains fall off the wall onto the floor. The camera moved towards Mr. Messy, who is sleeping in his hammock.]
 * Narrator: Mr. Messy lives in the messiest house you have ever seen. He never cleans it and he never has a bath.
 * [A door buzzer sounds. He wakes up, moves off his hammock and opens the front door.]
 * Mr. Stamp: [Brings out a letter from behind his bag] Letter for you, Mr. Messy.
 * Mr. Messy: Thank you, Mr Stamp.
 * [He slams the door. Huge clouds of dust surround Mr. Stamp. He looks at himself, scratches his head and gets annoyed as his clothes are now dirty.]
 * Narrator: Oh dear. Mr. Stamp is going to have to send all his clothes to the cleaners!
 * [Inside, Mr Messy tosses the envelope on some brown paint and reads the letter.]
 * Mr. Messy: "...tation to tea with Little Miss Scatterbrain this afternoon." [Excitedly] Oh Great! [Jumps up and down] An invitation at last!
 * Narrator: How strange. So, Little Miss Scatterbrain has asked Mr. Messy to tea? He's so messy nobody ever wants him around.
 * [The tap is dripping on the sink. Mr. Messy leaves his house, slamming the door with a cloud of dust and broken glass falling onto the floor. He opens the dustbin and picks up a dirty umbrella inside it, opening it up.]
 * Narrator: Little Miss Scatterbrain surely has made a mistake.
 * [Mr. Messy closes the umbrella again and picks up a piece of ribbon from the dustbin. He ties a knot in the umbrella with it.]
 * Mr. Messy: Oh yes, yes... Now, I shan't arrive empty handed.


 * [In the street, Mr. Messy, holding his umbrella, walks across the road. Mr. Rush's car honks its horn and stops just in time.]
 * Mr. Rush: [Clenching and waving his fist] Look before you cross the road!
 * Mr. Messy: Oh, Mr. Rush. What a fright you gave me. I nearly went all dizzy and fainted.
 * Mr. Rush: I must be on my way. I'm invited to tea with Little Miss Scatterbrain.
 * Mr. Messy: But how funny. I'm invited to Little Miss Scatterbrain's too!
 * Mr. Rush: Well, hop in quickly. We're both in a hurry now!
 * [He opens his car door to let Mr. Messy in.]
 * Mr. Messy: What a beautiful car you have here.
 * Mr. Rush: Yes, bought it new last week.
 * Mr. Messy: Just a minute. There's a speck of dust on the wind-screen.
 * [He wipes the wind-screen, making it dirty. The car drives away.]


 * [Outside Little Miss Scatterbrain's house, Mr. Rush's car honks and arrives.]


 * [They both arrive at the front door. Mr. Rush moves him aside.]
 * Mr. Rush: Please allow me.
 * [He rings the doorbell. Little Miss Scatterbrain opens it.]
 * Little Miss Scatterbrain: [Surprised] Oh! Er... What can I do for you?
 * Mr. Rush: Good afternoon, Little Miss Scatterbrain. You asked me to tea but I can only stay five minutes.
 * [They bring out their presents: Mr. Messy's umbrella, and Mr. Rush's flowers.]
 * Mr. Messy: Yes, and thank you for inviting me.
 * Little Miss Scatterbrain: Tea? Um... [Suddenly remembers, and takes the presents from the two Mr. Men.] Oh! Of... of course! I've completely forgotten.


 * [Inside the house, Little Miss Neat is polishing a biscuit. Little Miss Scatterbrain brings in a pie.]
 * Little Miss Scatterbrain: Tea is ready.
 * [As she puts down the pie, Little Miss Neat picks up the biscuit bowl.]
 * Little Miss Neat: Please help yourself to biscuits. There isn't a speck of dust on any of them.
 * [Mr. Rush runs in and grabs three of them to eat. She is alarmed by his bad behaviour.]
 * Mr. Rush: Well, now, I really must be on my way.
 * [He runs off.]
 * Little Miss Scatterbrain: Oh, er... Let me open my lovely present first.
 * [She unties the ribbon and opens the umbrella. She is alarmed when a metal rod flies out and knocks a plant off the top of the cupboard. The flowers land on Mr. Rush's head, and the pot breaks on the floor. Now miserable, Mr. Rush walks out of the house. Little Miss Neat, smiling, polishes the broken pieces with a dustpan and brush. The camera cuts to Little Miss Scatterbrain bringing in a tray to the table, and then to Mr. Rush closing the door and slowly walking away. The three are sat down. Little Miss Neat shows a concerned look at Mr. Messy. Little Miss Scatterbrain touches the teapot but it is too hot, forcing her to retreat her hands.]
 * Little Miss Scatterbrain: Ouch! It's too hot.
 * [Mr. Messy touches the milk, making it dirty]
 * Mr. Messy: Are you sure?
 * Little Miss Meat: And just how am I going to wash the milk now?
 * [He touches all the food on the tray.]
 * Mr. Messy: Well, this one is too hard. This one is too soft.
 * [He puts the cake in his mouth. Disliking the taste, he suddenly kicks a container of sauce at Little Miss Neat - making her dirty - and spits out the cake.]
 * Mr. Messy: Ohh... Oh I am sorry.
 * [Little Miss Scatterbrain is shocked. He wipes the sauce off Little Miss Neat with his hands and puts it back in the container.]
 * Mr. Messy: Do let me help you.
 * Little Miss Neat: [Shocked and steps back, keeping her hands away.] No! I must go and have a wash!
 * [She leaves the room.]
 * Little Miss Scatterbrain: Oh! Er... you're leaving already?
 * Little Miss Neat: I really must go and finish the housework.
 * [Mr. Messy catches up to her and snogs her. Upset, Little Miss Neat takes two steps back to avoid Mr. Messy.]
 * Little Miss Neat: [On verge of crying] Help! Pease! Stop it!
 * [She runs away.]
 * Mr. Messy: Well, I expect to be going.
 * [Little Miss Scatterbrain walks in holding a box.]
 * Mr. Messy: Thank you for inviting me.
 * Little Miss Scatterbrain: Oh! Before you go, [Opens up a box of curtains.] would you please help me put up my er... my lovely white curtains?
 * Mr. Messy: Certainly!


 * [Little Miss Scatterbrain is on top of a stepladder beside the window. Mr. Messy walks towards the box next to the stepladder.]
 * Little Miss Scatterbrain: Would you hand me the er... curtains?
 * Mr. Messy: Certainly!
 * [He passes the curtains - which are now dirty - to her. She puts them up on the curtain rod.]


 * [They both look at the newly placed curtains.]
 * Little Miss Scatterbrain: What do you think?
 * Mr. Messy: They look a bit dirty to me. Well, I must be going now.
 * [He walks out of the house. She waves goodbye.]
 * Little Miss Scatterbrain: Goodbye, Mr. umm... er... Messy and thank you for your help.
 * [Mr. Messy walks and crosses the road. Mr. Rush's car honks its horn and stops before it gets to him.]
 * Mr. Messy: [Calls and waves] Yoohoo! Mr. Rush!
 * [Mr. Rush drives again. The car drives over a puddle splashing Mr. Messy.]
 * Mr. Messy: That's good. I won't need a bath tonight!
 * [He stamps on the puddles delightfully. The screen fades to black and the credits appear.]
