An amazing short featuring a lot of voice over and a LOT of scene chewing is about "Sally" a woman who obviously needs to be on some sort of high powered drug like lithium because her jealousy just seems to get the best of her in most cases, Her husband arrives home late one night and she rips into him about why he was late. Since his excuse isn't good enough, she kicks him out and THEN the most amazing voice-over starts, with her wondering where he is and so forth, and then she gets a phone call.. Her husband was telling the trith where he was! (somethinh about tube caps and lipstick whatever) and THEN the scenery chewing starts. Honestly, I was looking at the drapes and wondering if those were going to be spared. She's THAT melodramatic. We discover through her voice over that she's an actress but she didn't want "small and uninportant parts". Maybe just roles like this cheesy drama? A MUST see on the site!
