(Back at the mall.)


SKIP: Cordelia - are you sure?

CORDELIA: You gave me a choice, so I'm choosing.

SKIP: Okay, kid. Here goes. I'm gonna make you a star.

(Cordelia closes her eyes.)

ANNOUNCER'S VOICE: And now, ladies and gentlemen, the two time Emmy winning star of our show, the gal with the million dollar smile: Cordelia Chase!

(The mall has changed into the set of a sit-com. Cordelia is caught in a spotlight and opens her eyes to wild applause form the audience and crew. The opening credits of her show, 'Cordy!', run for us. They include: Cordelia Chase, Gregory Dunne, Elliott Sims, and Carol Wright
Created by Phlegmont and Mendoza. The theme song was sung by Marti Noxon and David Greenwalt. Words and music by David Greenwalt)

CORDELIA: 1,2,3,4

SINGERS: There's a feeling that I'm after. Ooh, I see it in her smile. Yeah, you'll be hanging from the rafters. Ooh, better stay awhile. Ooh, better stay awhile. This whole world is full of laughter. You got my heart a little wild. Yeah, you'll be hanging from the rafters. Ooh, better stay awhile. Ooh, better stay awhile. Ooh, better stay awhile...

(Audience claps wildly.)

(Cut to after the show.)
MAN: (off screen) Great show, Cordy!

CORDELIA: Thanks, you too.

(Cordelia's assistant falls in beside her, holding a PDA.)

NEV: Okay. There are stars and there are stars, and then there is you!

CORDELIA: God, that is sweet, Nev. Am I paying you enough?

NEV: Well, as a matter of fact...

CORDELIA: Good. What's cooking?

NEV: Okay. You got a costume fitting. The Producers want to run some ideas by you for next week's show.

(Cordelia walks up to some fans, signs some autograph books.)

CORDELIA: Hi, how are you? What's your name?

NEV: We want to record that breast cancer PSA, but tomorrow is pretty booked. Maybe next week.

CORDELIA: (still signing) Ah no, make it tomorrow. I wanna get it on the air. (Turns to Nev, sighs) Nev, do you ever get that nagging feeling that you're supposed to be somewhere, doing something, but you can't remember what?

NEV: No. I'm highly organized. That's why you pay me - pretty well - but with the holidays coming, I really...

CORDELIA: (to fans) I have to go, I'm sorry. I have to go.

(Starts to walk on.)

CORDELIA: I want something. Hypo-something. Hypothermia?

NEV: (to phone) Josh, lets get a large tub of ice water to Miss Chase's dressing room, pronto.

CORDELIA: (to herself) No, that's not it.

NEV: Cancelling ice water.

CORDELIA: Hyper... hyperbaric?

NEV: Josh, make it an oxygen tent.

CORDELIA: (to herself) No, that's not it either.

NEV: Canceling tent.

CORDELIA: (spins to Nev) Hyperion! That's it!

NEV: The hotel.

CORDELIA: Yes. I wanna go there.

NEV: Terrific. When would you like me to... (She's leaving) Now? Now you would like to... Without security? Without an entourage of me? Right. I'll give them a call. (To phone) Josh, car, side door, now.
