TEASER
INT. HOTEL LOBBY -- AFTERNOON
NARRATOR
Previously, on GEN LMNOP.
The BAND DIRECTOR resides over the entire lobby, congragating
the students around him. The screen catches him 24 like and
grabs a still frame as the words "Band Director" appear to
the side.
BAND DIRECTOR
Welcome, everyone to Florida!
Two students, Doug O'Hara and John Sanders, are scuffling
slightly.
BAND DIRECTOR (CONT'D)
Hey, no fighting. Break it up. Save
it for the competition. Don't make
me make you run laps. Because I can
do it. And I will. Because I'm the
President.
EDDIE SCOTT POSER
Don't you mean band director?
BAND DIRECTOR
Somebody muzzle him.
EDDIE SCOTT POSER
(shouting)
You can't do this to Poland!
JACOB RAWLINGS, the large kid, locks on behind Poser and
drags his lifeless body away.
INT. CLASSROOM -- DAY
NICOLE, LAURA, LUCY, and NEIL are sitting around the table,
just after Neil had asked her out for Saturday. They're
sitting in awkward silence.
LAURA (V.O.)
You went out with Midus?
NICOLE (V.O.)
Did I?
LAURA (V.O.)
Finally. Jeez. He's Liked you for
like, ever... whoops?
NEIL (V.O.)
Are you, I dunno, free Saturday Night?
---------------------------------------------------------
2.
ZOOM on NICOLE, cut it out, and display "Nicole Larson" to
the side 24 style.
NEIL lightly slaps the table with his palm, and calmly exits
the scene, as NICOLE continues to be unresponsive.
LAURA looks toward NICOLE, who glares at her.
LAURA
I think it's time I do my best
impersonation of myself and...
LAURA bails out of the front door of the room. NICOLE watches
her go, and sees NEIL, who waves to her somewhat sheepishly.
She lowers her head, and inside her notebook is a picture of
them all dressed in their Halloween costumes together.
She smiles, as she looks at Midus.
INT. CLUB -- NIGHT
JACKSON and MIDUS are slow dancing with MOLLY and ERIN
respectively.
Freeze Frame on Midus w/Erin, and go 24 style, saying Midus
Steele.
JACKSON slowly lowers his hands to MOLLY's ass, and squeezes
suggestively. He nods toward MIDUS to do the same, who shakes
his head no. But ERIN grabs his hand which was by her waist
and lowers it ever so slightly to her hips.
INT. CLUB BATHROOM -- NIGHT
VAL is sweating and her curly hair is frizzled and tangled.
She looks like a mess.
Freeze Frame on VAL : 24 style with "Valeria McKierson"
displayed.
A few girls bump into her after exiting their stalls and
washing their hands. She looks considerably annoyed.
VAL
(screaming)
My dad could find you and kill you
before your next inhale off that
disgusting cigarette!
INT. HOTEL ROOM -- NIGHT
JACKSON is the last one to climb in over the balcony, as he
seems to have a tough time with it.
Freeze Frame on JACKSON, 24 style with "Jackson Kechs" written
on the side.
---------------------------------------------------------
3.
MIDUS
Yo, We're only on the second story...
VAL
And we had a ladder.
JACKSON
Shut up.

ACT ONE
EXT. AMUSEMENT PARK -- AFTERNOON
FRIDAY : 03:31:58 PM : FLORIDA
The word "Friday" is written above the timer, in the same
style. As the timer ticks "Friday" - "Fridaz" - "Fridba" -
"Fridbb" - "Fridbc"
MIDUS, ERIN, MOLLY, JACKSON, and VAL are walking around around
the amusement park. MIDUS is holding ERIN's hand, as JACKSON
has his arm around MOLLY.
They see the large line in front of them for a ride.
JACKSON
(arms up)
I REFUSE!
VAL, arms crossed, is very dishevled and quite annoyed.
VAL
Someone kill me now.
JACKSON pulls out a broad sword and raises it high.
VAL (CONT'D)
It's just an expression... God, you
take things so literal.
VAL storms off.
JACKSON
If you don't want me to take things
literally, don't say them out loud!
MIDUS
Where'd ja get the broad sword?
JACKSON
Hammerspace.
MIDUS
Yeah, I love their monthly rates.
INT. HAMMERSPACE -- CONTINUOUS
JACKSON is standing in a floating space world. Sitting on a
planet is the HAMMERSPACE SHOP KEEPER.
HAMMERSPACE SHOP KEEPER
Get your broad swords, your anvils,
your tnt. Your pie's, your paint
cans to paint tunnels on the sides
of walls. Anything and everything is
fifty percent off!
---------------------------------------------------------

JACKSON
You got any strippers?
HAMMERSPACE SHOP KEEPER
Just... a few venereal diseased
ones...
JACKSON
Ewww... I'll just take the one then.
EXT. AMUSEMENT PARK -- CONTINUOUS
MIDUS and JACKSON remain, as MOLLY and ERIN's attention's
are diverted. They are looking into a Target Shoping store.
MIDUS
Oh God. We boreded them into
retaliating by shopping.
ERIN
Hey, let's go in.
MIDUS
Tower Records? I dunno, you ever
hear of that Columbia House? You get
13 cd's for a penny. Now that's a
good deal.
JACKSON crosses his arms and narrows his eyes.
JACKSON
Jew.
MIDUS
I'm just confused as to why a tower
records is inside Disney Land.
JACKSON
No, we left that snoreland like,
fifteen minutes ago.
INT. AMUSEMENT PARK -- CONTINUOUS
VAL, standing alone in front of a ride, is eating a small
bag of popcorn.
EXT. AMUSEMENT PARK -- CONTINUOUS
JACKSON is still speaking just as before.
JACKSON
What did you think we were doing
when we hoped the fence?
MIDUS
I was more concerned with the swamp
of alligators.
---------------------------------------------------------
6.
JACKSON
I think they were mutated.
MIDUS
You think everything is mutated.
JACKSON
Only cool things are mutated.
Molly walks up.
MOLLY
Am I mutated?
JACKSON
(stops)
Okay, that's a trick question.
(stops)
Who wants a free dvd? Anyone?
MOLLY and ERIN raise their hand. MIDUS starts to as well.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
Midus I swear to whatever spirit,
janitor, or orange juice spill that
created this universe that I will
kill you within an inch of death.
MIDUS
Like I haven't heard that before.
INT. 8TH GRADE PRINCIPALS OFFICE -- FLASHBACK
MIDUS is jittery as JACKSON begins whisper yelling at him.
There is a HUGE gaping wall behind them, torn down by some
sort of wrecking ball most likely, exposing the cool Fall
afternoon sun.
JACKSON
-that created this universe that I
will kill you-
INT. 7TH GRADE FIELD TRIP: ZOO -- FLASHBACK
A Gorilla cage has been opened, and MIDUS and JACKSON are
held off to the side for questioning.
JACKSON
-that I will kill you withing an
inch
INT. 5TH GRADE LUNCHROOM -- FLASHBACK
Inside a cafeteria, it's a HUGE mess. It's as if there was a
HUGE food fight. MIDUS and JACKSON are left behind, covered
in mess, as JACKSON leans in.
---------------------------------------------------------
7.
JACKSON
-kill you within an inch of death.
He smiles.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
I love you man!
He pats MIDUS awkwardly on the back.
EXT. AMUSEMENT PARK -- CONTINUOUS
JACKSON raises his arm.
JACKSON
I-
MIDUS
(cutting him off)
Don't do it!
MIDUS points to Jackson's arm and uses it to also block his
pat attempt.
MIDUS (CONT'D)
I know kung fu...
JACKSON
Bullshit.
MIDUS
Okay, I read a book about kung fu.
(to Erin)
What time is it?
ERIN checks her watch, as the time FRIDAY : 4:22:01 PM :
FLORIDA appears on screen. ERIN smiles as she says it.
ERIN
4:20.
MIDUS
Oh crap, we gotta go back. We've got
that performance.
Jackson looks at MIDUS for a few moments, before bursting
out into laughter. He then suddenly stops.
JACKSON
Wait, what band?
The girls stand behind him for a moment.
MOLLY
(Jacksonlike)
He didn't say anything about a band...
---------------------------------------------------------
8.
EXT. HOMETOWN : SCHOOL CLASSROOM -- AFTERNOON
NICOLE walks out of the steps of the school, the time 4:14:42
is displayed on screen. WIDER as she clutches her books and
notebook to her chest. She walks, as a light rain slowly
falls down on her.
She bundles around a corner, and standing there in her
viewline is NEIL, holding an umbrella. He turns to NICOLE,
and lets out a smile.
NEIL
Care for an umbrella my lady?
NICOLE
You really don't have to.
NEIL
I really do. The last time I offered
someone an umbrella and they turned
me down, well, let's just say it was
like something out of Dead Like Me.
INT. OFFICE BUILDING -- DAY
People are busily working at their typewriters. A man is
drinking some water out of the cooler and checking up on the
baseball sign ups. Another girl is feverishly typing, as a
picture of her loved ones lie in the back ground. A third is
playing chinese paper football, with pencils made for goal
posts.
Suddenly, the one edge of the building sinks in the
foundation, sending the building down onto a slant. The bottom
floor of the room we are on gives out in the corner, where
the girl was feverishly typing. She lands down below into
kiddie slip and slide. She slides down the edge and hits the
edge of the bag, before tumbling over top and flipping out
of the window. WIDER shows her falling down a few stories
before
SPLAT!
EXT. HOMETOWN : STREETS -- CONTINUOUS
NEIL slams his hand together to mimik the sound.
NEIL
So you see why I can't let you say
no.
NICOLE
But what did that have to do with
her accident.
NEIL
Can't you see?
(MORE)
---------------------------------------------------------
9.
NEIL (CONT'D)
If she used my umbrella, her clothes
wouldn't be soaked. And if her clothes
weren't soaked, it would have been
much tougher for her to slip down
that slide to her crater making
demise.
NEIL tosses his head down and lets out a sigh.
NEIL (CONT'D)
I don't know why I just said that. I
guess I just sort of make things up
as I go to impress people. I dunno,
I just really think you're a nice,
beautiful, down to earth kind of
girl, and, well, I'd like to take
you out for dinner tonight.
NICOLE
I don't think I...
NEIL
C'mon. Just one dinner. I promise,
everything will be alright. Scouts
honor.
He raises two fingers in a wrongful salute.
NICOLE
Are you really a boy scout?
NEIL
Nah... but seriously, you can trust
me. Cuz I am always prepared for
anything.
Neil produces a boquet of six roses from his backpack,
smallish in size but bright and vibrant. He hands them to
Nicole and extends his hand.
NEIL (CONT'D)
One rose for every week I've thought
about you.
Nicole lets out a slight smile. WIDER, as NICOLE grabs NEIL'S
arm and they continue walking down that long empty alleyway
from the Teaser segments.
NEIL (CONT'D)
I had to do it for five weeks prior,
so I was like that number with the
exclaimation point after it.
NICOLE
(confused)
Yeah... I don't... know that.
---------------------------------------------------------
10.
NEIL
It's math! You don't know math? I'll
tell you all about it, it's purely
FASCINATING, in a strictly boring
sense.
Nicole laughs as they walk off.
NEIL (CONT'D)
Hold them out as you walk, they might
need water.
NICOLE then does so, tossing her arms out and letting out a
slight laugh.
END OF ACT ONE
---------------------------------------------------------
11.
ACT TWO
INT. NICOLE'S BEDROOM -- MORNING
SATURDAY : 10:20:34 AM.
NICOLE, fast asleep, lays in her bed. She's got a very mature
looking room, very kempt and clean. The phone rings, as she
stirs and lets out a slight smile. She leans over, and picks
the phone off the reciever.
NEIL (O.S.)
I know I'm supposed to wait like,
six days, but... swingers is
overrated.
NICOLE smiles.
INT. HOTEL ROOM -- EVENING
MIDUS, sleeping in a bed, has a woman next to him. It looks
like it could be Erin, as her face is covered almost
completely.
That's when a KNOCK on the door is heard, and she SHOOTS up.
It's VAL. She's fully dressed. MIDUS keeps his head on the
pillow, and just opens his eyes without moving his head.
MIDUS
Jackson, I will kill you in your
sleep. Or when you eat. So really,
the next time I see you. So you should
just get a head start and run like
hell. Try finland. I don't like
Finland.
FEMALE VOICE (O.S.)
Inspection time!
MIDUS gives VAL a look of terror.
MIDUS
Oh shit. I should know by now that
God hates us all.
INT. HEAVEN -- DAY
GODD sits at his office desk, playing with Ninja Turtles.
He's ecstatic.
GODD
I should make them REAL!
INT. BASEMENT -- MORNING
LINK, SCOTT, and EDDIE CHENO are smoking a bit of ganja.
That's when the TURTLES faze into existence.
---------------------------------------------------------
12.
Leonardo's sword fazes straight into the back of Link.
LINK
Oh God... My spleen.
Link falls to his knees, and keels over.
SCOTT turns to EDDIE CHENO with wide eyes.
SCOTT
Dude!... when did you buy turtles?
INT. HOTEL ROOM -- CONTINUOUS
VAL quickly gets up and races to the bathroom in order to
hide.
MIDUS
Can't have her here.
MIDUS says, dusting himself off as he turns toward the door,
taking in a deep sigh. He then comes back into frame, and
stops, before shaking his head down and groaning before
turning back to the door. He stops a few steps in, and then
turns back, and stops again. He reaches over to the side
and pulls out a chair, and sits in it. He thinks the
situation over for a few seconds, and he takes in a deep
sigh, before he leans back in his chair against the dresser,
his hand inadvertantly touching the remote control. He grabs
it out of instinct and turns on the tv. It's something
humorous, and MIDUS starts to laugh.
It cuts to the door.
FEMALE VOICE (O.S.)
MIDUS STEELE AND JACKSON KECHS!
OPEN UP! We're checking out!
At this point, MIDUS has gained a comic book and a candy
bar. He doesn't even avert his gaze.
MIDUS
I thought better of you than this!
FEMALE VOICE (O.S.)
You mean you actually respected an
authority figure?
MIDUS
No Erin, but check out time is noon.
The door opens, JACKSON having used his card.
JACKSON
THINK FASTER!
JACKSON tosses MIDUS a snake, which MIDUS catches and falls
to the ground, since it's a HUGE boa constrictor.
---------------------------------------------------------
13.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
Ha, now how ya respect me bitch?
That's a trick and a ha-
(change in mood)
Is... it eating him?
EXT. NICOLE'S HOME -- DAY
An older middle age man, Jack Bristow esq, stands just in
front of the doorway. He taps on the door three times, before
Nicole answers. Laura is in the background.
NICOLE
Hi.
ELDERLY SPY
I was wondering if you could find
out where Jackson Kechs resides.
I've been looking for him all week.
NICOLE
Is he... in trouble?
ELDERLY SPY
Depends... is fraud a charge?
The ELDERLY SPY holds up a contract involving him and Jackson
off of Ebay for one Immortality.
In a FLASH, the Spy throat chops Nicole's neck before shooting
Laura in the head. With NICOLE down, he rests his knee on
her chin, choking her, as he points the gun down into her
face.
ELDERLY SPY (CONT'D)
Tell me... Where Jackson Kechs is.
Wider Shot, and Jackson is standing there with a popsicle.
JACKSON
What's goi-
(looks around)
THAT'S MY PAPER BAG YOU'RE BLEADING
ON.
Flashback End
NICOLE shakes off the thought as Laura is there in front of
her.
NICOLE
You ever find out about that guy who
attacked us last week?
LAURA
Oh yeah... apparently Jackson killed
a guy.
---------------------------------------------------------
14.
INT. SUPERMARKET -- DAY
JACKSON takes away a wet floor sign, as a woman slips and
cracks her neck.
JACKSON
Oh Go-
(pause)
Deja vu?!
INT. AUTO PLANT STORE -- DAY
JACKSON hits a press release and a car falls onto a mechanic.
JACKSON
Oh Go-
(pause)
Deja vu!
EXT. SCHOOL YARD -- DAY
JACKSON throws a football which smacks a kid in the face. He
falls off the top of monkey bars and cracks his neck. JACKSON
rushes over.
JACKSON
Oh God...
(pause)
You alright?
(pause, kicks him)
Kid?
(pause)
Is it nap time?
(pause)
I think it's nap time.
He walks away calmly.
EXT. NICOLE'S HOME -- DAY
LAURA and NICOLE enter the house. In the background, EDDIE
SCOTT POSER and MARK walk by.
MARK
I can't stop a bus with my pinky. I
don't know why you think I can.
EDDIE SCOTT POSER
You've obviously got some sort of
super power, and I'm going to find
out what it is. No matter how many
children I have to put at risk.
(scoffs)
Maybe someday you won't act so
selfishly.
MARK stands there, jaw agaped.
---------------------------------------------------------
15.
INT. AMUSEMENT PARK -- DAY
JACKSON, with MOLLY and ERIN, and various classmates
scattering in the background(along with MIDUS and VAL), stand
in the center of the amusement park. JACKSON looks around
for a bit.
JACKSON
Hey... where's Midus?
INT. NASA -- DAY
NASA logo. VAL and MIDUS race through the open gates and
join a tour, which has just left. We see pictures of famous
moon landings and other images from space as we past.
NASA TOUR GUIDE
Now, as you can see, the North
American Space Association has had a
long track record of success in
completing it's ventures. And well,
we just want to take the time to
show you how capable we are of
attaching rockets to the north and
south poles, pulling the ice craters
out of the water and throwing them
into space, creating Moon 2. We
believe this will be the solution to
the problems of global warming. Now,
as you can see, we've already been
to the moon, we've taken pictures of
Mars, Pluto, Saturn, Uranus.
MIDUS snickers.
NASA TOUR GUIDE (CONT'D)
We've also invented lawn chairs and
hot dogs.
VAL
I can't believe it.
MIDUS
Told you.
MIDUS raises his hand.
MIDUS (CONT'D)
Can we see the Hot Dog Place?
NASA TOUR GUIDE
Oh, I'm sorry, but that's not apart
of this tour. You must be looking
for the Hot Dawg '06 special. You
better hurry, it starts in five
minutes.
MIDUS and VAL race off. Perry Como's "Magic Moments" plays.
---------------------------------------------------------
16.
INT. NASA HOT DOG FACTORY -- DAY
CONTINUOUS MONTAGE SEQUENCE of VAL/MIDUS finding out how Hot
Dogs are made. Maybe insert part of Starboy, a still frame
or such.
EXT. NASA -- AFTERNOON
MIDUS and VAL leave the gates, slowly, each worn out.
MIDUS
Next time, I pick the montage music.
END OF ACT TWO
---------------------------------------------------------
17.
ACT THREE
EXT. NICOLE'S HOME -- AFTERNOON
OUTSIDE shot through the window of NICOLE/LAURA talking.
LAURA (O.S.)
So, you went out with NEIL!?
(change in tone)
Who's Neil?
NICOLE (O.S.)
(Fading out)
He's really sweet, funny...
OVER to the STREET, where ESP and MARK still reside.
MARK
Can I go home now?
EDDIE SCOTT POSER
In a second.
A school bus comes hurtling over the horizon, as POSER looks
on. He smiles.
EDDIE SCOTT POSER (CONT'D)
Showtime.
As the bus comes closer, POSER pulls out a gadget and makes
the street actually RISE and become a ramp. He rubs his hands
together, as the BUS comes crashing over.
EDDIE SCOTT POSER (CONT'D)
OH MY GOD! LOOK MARK! HOW CONVIE-
EDDIE SCOTT POSER turns to MARK, who is no longer there. In
his place is large stuffed elephant, with a note on it that
read. "If you talk to me, you're dumber than I initially
expected."
EDDIE SCOTT POSER (CONT'D)
Huh.
The bus comes crashing down in the background in a blaze.
EDDIE SCOTT POSER (CONT'D)
... Mark?
(Looks into elephant)
You in there?
INT. NICOLE'S HOME -- CONTINUOUS
NICOLE and LAURA are still sitting, talking.
NICOLE
I think I'm gonna go out with him
again.
---------------------------------------------------------
18.
LAURA
What about Midus?
EXT. AMUSEMENT PARK -- DAY
MIDUS and VAL come racing into the park. They catch up with
JACKSON, MOLLY, and ERIN.
JACKSON
Where'd you two jerkoffs go to?
MIDUS
I had a point to prove.
JACKSON
This isn't the hot dog thing again,
is it?
MIDUS
Listen, we've got precious moments
before we're supposed to be at the
band award ceremony without some
sort of caning.
EXT. MAP OF AUSTRALIA -- FLASHBACK
The MAP of AUSTRALIA, animated, smacks New Zealand against
it's makeshift hands as if it were a paddle.
INT. AMUSEMENT PARK -- DAY
Same as before.
JACKSON
We're in a band?
VAL, frustrated, pulls out a piece of paper and staples it
to his head. JACKSON, blank stare, blinking eyes, begins to
slowly topple over.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
Why.
JACKSON falls in pain and begins to groan.
VAL
There. Now try to forget it.
JACKSON
FORGET WHAT?!
He rolls around on the ground in agonizing pain. He pulls
the paper of his forehead and reads it.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
Does this say "you phoned the damned?"
(MORE)
---------------------------------------------------------
19.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
(Gets scared, reaches
out to Val)
DON'T WAKE THE DEAD!
INT. COFFIN -- FLASHBACK
A body lies asleep in a coffin, but it looks much like a
bed. That's when an alarm to his side goes off. The body
turns over, smacks the alarm, and goes back to sleep.
INT. AMUESEMENT PARK -- CONTINUOUS
MIDUS stands there, thinking. He turns to Erin and whispers.
MIDUS
You really have to turn the lights
on to get anyone out of their coffin.
She laughs.
That's when a man comes up, wielding a shotgun.
CRAZY SHOTGUN GUY
Is, is that Jackson? Jackson Kechs?
I was told that guy is Jackson Kechs.
He cocks his shotgun and points it.
CRAZY SHOTGUN GUY (CONT'D)
Are you, Jackson Kechs?
Jackson looks from side to side.
JACKSON
.... no?
The Crazy Shotgun Guy seems confused, and races off.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
I... I think I sold that guy
immortality...
VAL
You shoulda saved that for yourself.
Val lunges at him with the stapler gun.
JACKSON
OH GOD!
(crying)
So many staples...
MIDUS
Hey Val... hate to destroy your chance
at finally letting go of these
feelings of pent up anger and rage,
but we've got that awards ceremony.
---------------------------------------------------------
20.
JACKSON
Award Ceremony? For what?
Midus looks at Val sternly.
MIDUS
We have time for one more.
VAL staples him a final time.
JACKSON
... Why...
INT. NICOLE'S BEDROOM -- LATER
NICOLE and LAURA are continuing the scene.
NICOLE
I... know where I stand with Neil.
I've never with Midus.
She takes a drink.
LAURA
Maybe that's what's so intriguing
about him.
Laura takes a drink as Nicole gives her a look.
LAURA (CONT'D)
Or maybe it's his impressive dvd
collection.
INT. AWARDS TENT -- EVENING
JACKSON, bandaged all over his face, is sitting at a table
with Erin, Molly, Val, and Midus.
AWARD DIRECTOR
And the winner of this year's parade
award, Stephen King Memorial High
School!
A bunch of the band members in tables in the front go nuts.
Back to JACKSON, who's eyes are wide.
JACKSON
Do we get money for this?
(to Midus)
Think we could sell the trophey?
MIDUS
Where are we gonna sell a parade
award?
JACKSON
Ebay?
---------------------------------------------------------
21.
VAL
You're just like, a walking billboard
for them.
JACKSON
(looking at self)
I'm not fat!
EXT. AMUSEMENT PARK -- NIGHT
OUTSIDE, later, everyone is boarding on the buses to head
back home. VAL is hanging out the door of one bus as MIDUS
and JACKSON say goodbye.
JACKSON is making out with MOLLY, who slyly slips him her e-
mail address into his back pocket. She winks and leaves.
MIDUS, hands behind him, sea saws back and forth on his toes.
ERIN leans in, and gives him a kiss on the cheek. She whispers
once in his ear.
ERIN
I hope this test run convinced you
to just go ahead and try it.
She pulls back, smiles, and slowly backs off and hops away.
MIDUS and JACKSON climb aboard the bus alongside VAL.
Later, JACKSON is sitting in front with JACOB RAWLINGS to
his side.
JACKSON
Why do I gotta sit with the fat guy?
MIDUS
Cuz you say things like that and
need to suffer.
JACKSON
It's not like I'll ever learn.
MIDUS
That's why I'll have to settle for
pain.
(gets look from Val)
Oh, don't look at me like that. He
forces me to. Otherwise, there's no
punishment in any of his actions.
Unless I take petty little stabs, he
gets off scott free!
JACKSON
I do. It's awesome being me.
INT. NICOLE'S BEDROOM -- LATER
NICOLE and LAURA are hanging out, watching something on the
tv. Nicole's phone rings, and it's Neil.
---------------------------------------------------------
22.
She smiles as she exits the room, and LAURA sighs, returning
to the viewage.
INT. PLANE -- NIGHT
JACKSON is sleeping. VAL is next to him, as MIDUS walks into
frame. He sets up a single puppet. And then another. And
another, all around Jackson, who is in the front row. He
sets up a wall of puppets, and then throws a softball into
JACKSON's chest. JACKSON wakes up with a huff, and leans
forward into the wall of puppets.
He screams. Oh boy does he scream.
EXT. PLANE -- DAY
The plane slowly descends from the sky as we hear Jackson's
scream echo. Midus and Val laughs rise for a little bit as
the credits roll.
Over End Credits
Eddie Scott Poser YELLS at Mark.
EDDIE SCOTT POSER
I ORDER you to disobey me!
