The way Ellie conducts herself in this scene, being able to stay focused, use ad-lib conversation to explain each of the pies with such enthusiasm before The Wife gets them served, and to be able to describe the deconstructed cake while I would name, the Un-Begun Cake, then the Raw or Unbaked Chocolate cake. Simply well written and well executed. The straight face all the way through before Ellie gets her first-ever pie, is also worth remembering.

The Man & The Wife initiated their UMD store a few months back, just about when all of this quarantine, social distancing, mask wearing etc. started. During their months of operation, they have produced many creative Slapstick gems that have provided some quality entertainment as we work our way through the various phases to full reopening, when ever that will be. ( What happened to summer? ) I was intrigued last week when they posted some teaser pics of Ellie, a very attractive lady who happens to be a good friend of "The Wife." Ellie and "The Wife" are two very appealing "neighbor lady" types that you can't help imagining them being the targets of messy pies if you happen to see them together at a grocery store or restaurant. A visualization that occurred quite often, I must admit, when I used to get out of the house more. Ellie made her slapstick debut in The Man and The Wife production of "Table for Two." The premise for the scene is a tried and true, but always appreciated slapstick scenario where a couple of pretty ladies visit a restaurant and one of them is on the receiving end of a messy onslaught of very colorful pies, slime and baking ingredients while the other pretty lady remains totally immaculate. The scene is played very well by the 2 lovely ladies. As the vibrant colored pies & assorted ingredients find their mark, the initial "victim" is obliterated with mess, a perfect chromatic line of demarcation forms on the backdrop separating splatter from pristine. The side of the table where the lady receiving the desserts is seated displays a stark contrast to the undisturbed side where her counterpart is suggesting menu options while remaining totally clean. She nonchalantly accepts and kind of enjoys witnessing her lunch partner's fate. As expected in all great slapstick productions, the nonchalant companion does not remain immaculate and eventually receives her "just desserts" which include a barrage of flawlessly thrown pies splattering nicely on the pretty lady's face. Ellie is awesome, she plays the scene perfectly! She does a wonderful job of building the anticipation, her glasses remain intact & unscathed until splat! the 1st of many pies finds her pretty face. Accompanied by many more, I might add. The Wife, being the "Slapstick Queen", has the most superb reactions through the entire scene. Ellie is a very welcome addition to "The Man and The Wife" productions and I really look forward to her next video. Great Job!

Like these scenes couldn't get any better?! Let me first start off that I immediately became a fan of this couple from day one when I saw how unbelievably hard The Man would throw and hit his pies plus how incredible The Wife was at taking them! I have purchased several scenes and been thrilled with each. When I saw that they had produced a 2 girl scene I about did a back flip! Of course my biggest concern was that another girl wouldn't have the same reactions as The Wife or not have good chemistry but dear lord this turned out great! If you are a fan of actual acting in a scene this one is for you all the way! Hard as hell hits on both girls and a great build up dynamic with the Wife getting destroyed and the other girl staying clean(until the end of course). I really can't wait to see what is next for these two!
