Television Commercial For the "Take A Bite" nutrition campaign.





INT. AN INTERVIEW ROOM-DAY.


We join a 20/20-style commercial already in progress.  A very serious-looking reporter 
sits across from a regular apple placed on the other chair.



				REPORTER

			How long has it been?



				APPLE

                          (very upset)

			About 6 months now.

	

				REPORTER

			That's terrible.  



				APPLE

			No one wants to eat me Joe.  I accept it now, but for a very long
 			time, I just couldn't see it.  That led to denial, depression, 
			just a whole mess of problems.



				REPORTER

			And this is what drove you to drugs?



				APPLE

			That's correct.



				REPORTER

			Can you elaborate for our viewers?



				APPLE

			Well a lot of this still hurts, I have had a lot of trouble 
			working through it all.



				REPORTER

			Please, try your best.



				APPLE

			Well after I got picked, I was sent to a supermarket.  No one 
			bought fresh fruit, no one!  I sat on that shelf for weeks.  
			I started taking some preservatives to look better, and to make 
			a long story short, I got hooked. Soon I was an addict, it was 
			pretty ugly.  And I just got out of rehab for the second time.  



				REPORTER

			Did you ever consider suicide?



				APPLE

			Oh sure.  Well you do in these situations.  I thought of 
			throwing myself in front of a dog or tossing myself out a window, 
			but I just didn't have the strength.  I took a huge batch of pain 
			killers, but a banana saved me.  I used to cry myself to sleep 
			wishing I had been born a Pop Tart. 



				REPORTER

			Such a tragedy.  Any final thoughts for our viewers?



				APPLE

			Yes.  Please everyone; remember that eating healthy isn't just 
			about you it's, oh...



The Apple breaks down and starts sobbing.  The Reporter hands him a tissue and we hear violent nose blowing.



				REPORTER

			This sort of thing just doesn't have to happen.  Please, 
			everyone give a hoot, and take a bite.



He picks up the apple and takes a big bite out of it.  The Apple sighs contentedly.  



				REPORTER

			You're delicious.



				APPLE

			Actually I'm a Granny Smith. 

CUT TO:



A black screen with the words "Take a Bite!" in white.  A huge CHOMP is heard and a 
big chunk of the upper right hand corner of the screen disappears.
