INT. DOVE SELF-ESTEEM PROJECT SET, DAY
Peridot sitting on a chair against a green background whilst levitating her tablet. The camera is zoomed back enough to see crewmembers (i.e. the director and a technician) and the setup with lights and other film tech. The camera zooms back in frame a couple of seconds later.
PERIDOT: I'm Peridot and I'm here to talk to you about being smart enough not to believe impossible pictures designed to make human beings feel bad. Tons of your photos are photo-manipulated with computers, apps, and fancy techniques to change how the human beings look.
Camera focuses on Peridots tablet as she scrolls through photos
PERIDOT: Like this (A stunning woman eating a burger gracefully). And this (A woman with doughy green eyes, fair skin, and long brown hair). And this (Two very tall women modeling with tiny waists).
Camera zooms out
PERIDOT: But I'm staring at some humans right now and they look a lot more like this!
Shifts the camera towards the crewmembers with metal telekinesis
DIRECTOR: Peridot, please don't levitate the camera.
PERIDOT: I'm making a point here!
Camera shifts back on set
PERIDOT: That means if you spend twenty-two hours a day staring at your tablet like I do, you're going to end up with a messed up about what a person should look like! (Grabs floating tablet to seemingly smash it on the ground) So no more of this thing! (Stops) But I love this thing (Hugs her tablet). How about I keep my tablet...
Runs offscreen to bundle with crewmembers
PERIDOT: But I use it to watch a new show we'll make staring us! Remember, don't believe everything you see in media pictures and just be happy being you.
DIRECTOR: Great, just, please, drop the camera.
PERIDOT: Oh, sure.
The camera drops on the floor and breaks.
