ANNE
Oh, Diana, how I loathe my horrid, carroty hair.
DIANA
It’s not so bad, really! You look like the butch-voiced girl from That ’70s Show, or like the girl who replaced the other girl in Twilight.
ANNE
Diana, you know I don’t watch television. Marilla and Matthew only use it for NCIS and to watch their Monk DVDs.
DIANA
Well, I think it’s darling. If you’re determined, though, we could change it!
ANNE
Really?
(Diana produces a box of Clairol, screen fades out for commercial break)
ANNE
Oh, Diana. I look…scrumptious!
(camera pans back to reveal Anne fluffing her new, shiny brown hair, just light enough to prevent clashing with her brows)
DIANA
You do! Of course, you’ll always be a redhead to me!
ANNE
Only me, my Armenian waxer, and my anesthesiologist will know for sure!
(Marilla enters, looking stern)
MARILLA
What have you done to your hair, Anne?
ANNE
Don’t you…don’t you like it?
(Marilla smiles)
MARILLA
I just wish you’d used your own towels! I need mine for…
EVERYONE
COVERING THOSE STUBBORN GRAYS!
(laughter)
MARILLA
I just never know what madcap scrapes you’ll be up to next, Anne Shirley.
(hug, followed by montage of Anne buying and wearing numerous articles of pink clothing to the strains of Van Morrison)
THE END — FOREVER
