Sister Sister - Pilot Outline

NOTE: Good comedy in this script. This is a good show to look back on when trying to execute a high concept show simply.

ACT ONE

• meet the girls as they watch as scary movie
  • Ray pops his head in and secares them
• Girls to camera: explain their situation
• Flashback to when the girls almost met in a mall, but thought they were looking in a mirror. Big set piece where they keep missing each other, then they finally come face to face. “THAT GIRL HAS MY FACE!”
• LATER – The girls realize that they’re sister
• Girls explain that they live together now and they get along great but their parents don’t – THAT’S ALL STRAIGHT TO CAMERA
• Scene demonstrating the parents don’t get along. He’s suburban and she’s in a sketchy hood somewhere in the city. 
• Roger meets the girls. Another awkward exchange with Lisa and Ray.

 
ACT TWO

• the girls are at a bus station trying to run away together.
• ray and lisa find them. Girls suggest they all live together but parents are skeptical.
• Girls to camerea reveal in present day that the parents negotiated it so lisa and her kid could move in to ray’s place with his kid
• TAG: They are all moved in together. We realize this might be difficult transition. Then Roger shows up for a laugh and it’s over.
