1 MIXED LOCATION - MIXED TIME 1
Small apartment in Canada, camera fast forwards the daily life of a young man.
Going to work at a hotel, coming
back home, having supper, breakfast etc....fast forward slows down into normal
mode to a beginning of a new morning.
Andrew (Andy), the young man, pours his coffee, while eating a slice of bread
with cheese. Finishing his fast breakfast, lights up a cigarette. Suddenly has
nausea, puts his hand on his mouth and runs to the washroom to vomit. Another
fast forward of the day at work...slows down to normal mode. This time end of
the day. Andrew lays down on the sofa and watches a debate between a journalist
and a religious man. The topic is whether religion should take a role in
governmental decisions.
VOICE OF ANDY THINKING (NOT OUT LOUD)
If there is a God, you assassinate the journalist
and possess the man; make him think he's Jesus Christ....
Andy's life continues the same fashion, routine vomits, routine lays on the
sofa: all fast forward mode.
Three months later: Andy again on the sofa watching T.V:
A journalist has been killed, his car bombed, extremist religious group
Hezbollah takes responsibility.
ANOTHER 3 MONTHS LATER, ON TV:
Member of Islamic religious political party believes he is Jesus Christ...
Andy unaware of his 6 month earlier thought falls asleep in front of the
television. Suddenly he wakes up but in a class room at the university he used
to attend. It is the chemistry laboratory.
2 CHEMISTRY LAB - DAY 2
He is sitting on a chair, the desk is white... Andrew is a bit confused, since
he doesn't remember getting there at the first place. So he decides to walk out
of there.
ALL OF A SUDDEN A VOICE
Andy, you are in a speeded up class
for special people like you.
Still scared and dazzled Andrew walks towards the exit door.
THE VOICE
This is an opportunity that
literally comes once in a billion
years, you sure you want to do that?
Changes his mind, sits on the chair
ANDY
Fine, teach me!
VOICE
What do you want to learn?
ANDY
Anti-gravity.
Suddenly a book with the title "anti-gravity" appears on the desk.
VOICE
What else?
ANDY
Invisibility.
Another book appears with that title.
Andy opens the books but cannot understand anything of the mathematical symbols.
ANDY
Can I invent something?
VOICE
Sure, what do you want?
ANDY
A device with the buttons
hell, heaven, god, home,
invisibility.
A rectangular white box appears with the ordered buttons.
Since he's convinced this is a dream, carelessly says:
ANDY
Give this to John and make
him setup my destiny.
Andy hesitates on how to go back home, throws a glance at the box and hits the
home button. Wakes up on the sofa but the lights in the living room are on. Gets
up to switch them off, only to see the device on his work-desk. Realizes this
wasn't exactly a dream....
3 ANDY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 3
ANDY (thinking voice)
What was the plan? what was the
plan? Ohh yes, have to give this
to John.
Andy takes the device, goes to his parent's room and decides to give the
apparatus to his step- father (John).
ANDY
John, wake up, there is something
on TV.
John wakes up, gets up. Andy is hiding the device behind his back. They walk
towards the TV set. Of course the TV is off and Andy's father guesses he's
hiding something behind his back. Grabs the telephone.
JOHN
I'm calling the police, what do
you have behind you?
ANDY
It's a gift...Pandora's Box.
But do not give it to any
government.
JOHN
Andy, I'm calling 911!
Andy shows the box, hands it over, says goodnight and
goes to bed.
4 BLACK ROOM - DARK 4
Andy wakes up in his dream. Black room, spot light
coming from the top. A desk in front of him, he's
sitting on a chair again. John's sitting opposite
of the desk.
JOHN
Andy, where did you get
that device?
ANDY
Some kid invented it.
Would you want to know who?
JOHN
Yes.
A hologram appears on the desk. It is first a baby, becomes a toddler, a child,
a teen... It is Andy
himself.
ANDY
(thinks: so to show telepathy)
And you treated him
like shit.
JOHN
And I treated him like shit.
But who are you?
ANDY
I am Andy's image.
Which button did you press?
JOHN
I see...
5 ANDY'S APARTMENT - MORNING 5
Next morning. John is up early watching the television...Andy barely awake,
goes to the kitchen to have his routine breakfast.
ANDY
Good morning Mr. Walker. (pause)
John, I had this really real dream.
JOHN
Are you sure it was a dream?
ANDY
Yeah, it wasn't a nightmare.
Anyhow, I have to jet to work.
JOHN
You have a jet?
ANDY
Naa man, it's just an expression.
JOHN
Ohh ok. Not sure what to believe
anymore.
ANDY
John, are you ok?
JOHN
Yes fine....
ANDY
When are you going back
to Fort McMurray?
JOHN
Engineering is almost finished.
The rest is administrative task.
So my job is basically done.
ANDY
Ohh ok, well, I'm outta here.
See ya later.
Andy exits the small apartment.
6 FADE OUT - FADE IN: ANDY'S APARTMENT - EXT DARK 6
End of the day. Andrew comes back home and goes
straight to bed.
7 FADE OUT - FADE IN: BLACK ROOM 7
Andy wakes up again in the black room. This time John
is on the side of the desk where the drawers are
situated.
ANDY
John, what are you doing here?
JOHN
I am not John, I am God.
Andy upset, and angry.
ANDY
I knew there was something wrong
with you, so you are the mother
lover!
Andy starts punching the face from right to left.
JOHN
Are you done?
ANOTHER VOICE COMING
FROM THE BACK:
Hum hum... So you're the one who
invented this?
ANDY
I know this voice, isn't that
our dear prime minister?
JOHN
Yes it is.
ANDY
What is he doing here?
And John, if you are god,
turn me into a jungle bunny.
Andy suddenly becomes a rabbit and runs away
from the desk, jumping around.
John directing his speech to the two military soldiers next to the prime
minister.
JOHN
Catch the rabbit,
catch the rabbit!
The two soldiers, with their flashlights,
start running after the bunny. They bring it
back to the desk. Rabbit morphs back to Andy.
ANDY
Ok so you're God. I always
knew there was something
whacked with you.
And what's the prime minister
doing here?
JOHN
He wanted to meet the genius
who invented this.
PRIME MINISTER
(MICHAEL CROSS)
How much money do you want
for this?
ANDY
A billion dollars!
MICHAEL
I don't think it'll
be a problem.
ANDY
Changed my mind, I don't want
to worry about money, ever.
MICHAEL
No problem. Anything else?
ANDY
Yes, I want to punch you.
Always wanted to beat up
a politician.
MICHAEL
Ok, but not on my pretty face.
ANDY
Don't worry about that.
We can hardly understand
what you are talking about.
So I'll just hit you on
the stomach.
Andy punches the prime minister on the gut.
ANDY
So are we done here?
JOHN
Yes... But, one last thing,
who do you want the elections
to win?
ANDY
The communists!
MICHAEL
They don't have the funds.
ANDY
They will after winning...
Changed, my mind.
Who ever wants to win.
Do they want to win?
MICHAEL
No they don't.
ANDY
Do you want to win?
MICHAEL
Yes.
ANDY
So be it, you win.
DISSOLVE TO:
8 ANDY'S APARTMENT - MORNING 8
Another morning, basically same scene. John watching TV.
Andy passing by John to go to the kitchen.
ANDY
Man, I had this dream...
JOHN
Are you sure it was a dream?
ANDY
No man.
This one was a nightmare.
JOHN
Andy, so you know. I have to go to Vancouver for a couple of days.
You don't have to worry about money.
ANDY
Okidoki. Talk to you later.
Gotta jet...
Andy exits the apartment.
CUT TO:
9 HOTEL, ANDY AT WORK - DAY 9
Different scene, this time Andy at work as a receptionist. No customers,
suddenly John appears.
ANDY
How may I help you Mr.Walker,
Sir. Dear Sir, would you
like to stay at our
luxurious hotel?(pause)
No seriously, what are you
doing here?
JOHN
My bus for Vancouver leaves
in front of the hotel.
ANDY
Ohh ok. By the way,
you're the first person
I called 'sir'. I'm probably
gonna get fired soon.
John gives a sympathetic smile and says:
JOHN
Anyhow, I gotta go...
Bus will be here soon.
ANDY
When will you be back?
JOHN
Not sure, the administration
screwed up a few things,
so we're back in engineering.
But you don't have to worry
about money.
ANDY
Ooook then.
John smiles, leaves reception place while making a small wave.
Andy's supervisor enters from the corridor. A tall, well built Indian (from
India, Mr.Khan).
MR.KHAN
So did you figure out
your priorities yet?
ANDY
Yes, I got used to telephone
calls, putting them on hold
while taking care of present
customers. It still gets hectic
sometimes though. I wish I had
somebody to work with me.
I think we're understaffed.
MR.KHAN
What do you mean?
I am here with you.
ANDY
Yeah but you're always away
talking to somebody either at
the bar, or picking up clients
from the airport.
MR.KHAN
Are you telling me
I'm a slacker? And someone
needs to pick them up
from the airport.
Are you going to do it?
ANDY
I don't mean you're a
slacker, just that it
would be nice to have
somebody around when
the telephones and the
customers storm in at the
same time. And no
I don't think I should
drive the van to bring
people from the airport.
MR.KHAN
I don't think you should
either. That job is for
people who've been working
here for at least a year.
ANDY
Hey, we get our paycheck
the fifteenth right?
MR.KHAN
Yes we do.
You're in a hurry?
ANDY
No not really.
Just wanted to know when
I get rich.
MR.KHAN
You know, you should be able
to save half of your paycheck
each month.Not with what you
make obviously. But later on.
How much are you making?
ANDY
7.50 per hour.
Comes to 56 dollars net
a day. And you know,
I'm not even looking for
a job that pays better.
I like it here.
MR.KHAN
Most poeple do look for
higher pay jobs even when
they're employed.
ANDY
Money doesn't motivate me much.
MR.KHAN
Why not? This is why I work,
just for money. And if I had
a better offer I would just go
for that one.
ANDY
Yeah I know, it's the logical
thing to do. Me, I'm just
glad to be part of a team
you know. Being productive
is basically what turns me on.
MR.KHAN
Turns you on? I'd go to
a strip joint for that.
You know the owner of the
hotel also owns a strip bar.
Maybe we should go together
once. I'll take you there
don't worry.
ANDY
Never been to a place like
that. But wouldn't mind.
Telephone rings, Andy answers it:
ANDY
Quality inn airport,
how may I help you?
DISSOLVE TO:
10 ANDY'S APARTMENT - EXT DARK 10
New scene : Andy's apartment, door opens, Andy walks in. This time his mother
Natalie's at the apartment. She's taking some papers out of her bag.
ANDY
Hello mother. What are you
doing here? I thought you
had a criminal law class.
NATALIE
Yeah, it got cancelled.
The prof turned out to be sick.
ANDY
Ohh ok.
You know John went to Vancouver
for some engineering task.
NATALIE
I thought he was at Fort
McMurray.
ANDY
I guess they moved the last
steps of the projects to Vancouver.
(pause, sigh)I'm beat, gonna
grab a quick sandwich and crash
straight to bed.
Andy at the kitchen and Natalie talking to herself.
NATALIE
I'm getting old for this.
At 60 I'm trying to become
a lawyer again. Wish we didn't
immigrate to Canada. I'm not
even sure I'm gonna practice.
Lucky I'm still alive.
Andy finishing his snack goes to his room:
ANDY
Good night mom.
NATALIE
Good night. Might see you
tomorrow.
DISSOLVE TO:
11 BLACK ROOM - BACKGROUND DARK 11
Andy wakes up again, black room. This time he is at the side of the desk where
the drawers are. John is at his opposite. Spot light coming from the top. The
environment is black.
JOHN
I need to advise with God.
ANDY
Yes speaking.
How may I help you?
JOHN
I don't know what to do
with that device.
ANDY
Anything you want John.
Pandora's box has opened.
Intended for Andy.
But, you will do.
You should hand it over to
Andy eventually so you know.
JOHN
Tell me what to do with this.
ANDY
Anything. For example a clone.
So you don't have to worry
about having to provide to
anybody. Think of me as a genie
in a bottle.
CUT TO:
12 ANDY'S ROOM - EXT DARK 12
Camera blackout. Andy wakes because this time the lights are on in his room.
While he's up to switch off the light, says:
ANDY
Damn, need water...
Goes to the kitchen. Sees his mother opening the door. John is standing still on
the other side. Another Natalie appears next to him. Another John shows up
behind those two. Pushes them towards the apartment and says:
JOHN
Come Natalie, we don't have
to worry about anything
anymore.
Grabs the original Natalie, and exits together while leaving the clones inside.
Andy witnessing this, is convinced his dream is continuing. So ignoring all this
commotion, drinks his water, turns off the lights in his room and goes to sleep.
DISSOLVE TO:
13 ANDY'S ROOM - MORNING 13
Our protagonist wakes up. It's morning, Andy goes to the washroom, notices his
parents' bed is empty. After washing his face, goes to the kitchen, changes the
date on the calendar to Saturday. It's his day off. Nobody in the living room.
It's around 12 pm; we can see it on the VCR located in the living room,
underneath the television.
Andy has a fast breakfast then leaves the house, therefore the building.
CUT TO:
14 OUTSIDE - DAY 14
While walking he thinks: (Andy's voice)
ANDY'S VOICE
These dreams…so real…the lab room…
the box… hmm…what if…
naa can't be… If those are real…
an act of God, or some technology…
why me? For Christ sakes…Christ!
Oh, how would I know I am the
son of the g.o.d (gee oh dee).
Suppose Jesus is on earth, how
would we recognize him?
While thinking that, Andy sees two young men just walking out of a house. Eye
contact and…
YOUNG MAN
(young man has a name tag: "Jesus")
Excuse me…
ANDY'S VOICE
Great, evangelists.
YOUNG MAN
Can we take a couple of
minutes of your time?
ANDY
Sure.
YOUNG MAN
Do you have a bible at
your possession?
ANDY
No, but speaking of that.
I was just thinking what
if Jesus was on earth.
How would we recognize him?
YOUNG MAN
It is said that he would
have "Jesus" written on his
forehead.
ANDY
Also, another question:
If our faith and destiny
is set from the beginning.
How can we have free will?
YOUNG MAN
We believe we have agents
that guide us through life
and that we make the decisions.
ANDY
But doesn't free will
contradict the notion of
destiny? The only way it
wouldn't is only if we have
two shots at life.
YOUNG MAN
I don't understand…
ANDY
Well you see… If destiny
and free well must exist all
at the same time. The day we
are born we are free to make
our decisions. After we die,
we reborn with the same
identity and make the same
decisions. Therefore allowing
destiny.
YOUNG MAN
The bible doesn't believe in
reincarnation. We are here to
be tested. Then we either go to
hell or heaven.
ANDY
Yeah ok… Anyhow, I am in a
hurry. Gotta catch the bus.
Nice talking to you.
YOUNG MAN
Likewise, bye.
Andy continues his walk. Thinking again (Andy's voice).
ANDY'S VOICE:
What a coincidence. I was just
thinking of identifying Jesus.
Maybe that dude was Jesus… Haha.
No, can't be.
CUT TO:
15 LIQUOR STORE - DAY 15
Andy finally arrives to the liquor store near the bus station.
Looks around the shelves, decides to buy a mickey of vodka. Goes to the cashier.
CASHIER
(with the name tag Mary)
Comes to 11 dollars sir.
ANDY
(handing a 20 dollar bill).
There you go.
(getting the change)
CASHIER
Have a nice day Sir.
ANDY
You too.
CUT TO:
16 OUTSIDE - DAY 16
Andy walks out the store and flashbacks the name tag "Marry", and says out loud:
ANDY
Great I'm psychotic and
delusional…When's my next
appointment with the shrink?
Andy takes back the same route to go home. While passing by the same house where
he saw the evangelists, the same young men stop him again:
YOUNG MAN
Excuse me, can we take a
couple of minutes of your time.
ANDY
Hey, what are you guys
still doing here?
YOUNG MAN
Sorry, we just arrived here.
ANDY
Oh come on man, don't you
remember me. We talked about
knowing Jesus, freewill and
destiny!
YOUNG MAN
You must be mistaken with
someone else.
ANDY
Oh please, I'm positive it
was you guys, with the Jesus
nametag and all!
YOUNG MAN
I really don't remember.
ANDY
Ok, I gotta go anyway,
I'm in real hurry now…
YOUNG MAN
Have a nice day.
Andy has a real confused face expression now. Says out loud:
ANDY
Personal note:
Get appointment with shrink.
Andy passes by the Safeway (supermarket) and says:
ANDY
Forgot to buy cigs.
(walks in the market)
CUT TO:
17 SUPERMARKET - DAY 17
While walking towards the tobacco cashier sees a woman laying on the floor,
people surrounding her
ANDY'S VOICE
Shit, is she dead…
Wow can I help?
I'm not a doctor. Those people
around probably know what
they're doing.
Andy at the tobacco cashier:
ANDY
Excuse me, what happened
To the lady on the floor?
CASHIER
She just passed out couple
of seconds ago.
ANDY
Why?
CASHIER
Don't know.
ANDY
Ok. Anyhow, can I have
a pack of Camel please?
Handing a 10 dollar bill, getting the change
ANDY(cont'd)
Have a nice day.
CASHIER
You too.
CUT TO:
18 OUTSIDE, FRONT OF SUPERMARKET - DAY 18
Walking towards his building, passes from the parking lot, cars are aligned. All
of a sudden, the cars start honking and front lights of the vehicles are turning
on and off. (flashing)
ANDY'S VOICE
Great (pause); I have an electric
and magnetic field on me. I should
check my Engineering books.
Takes out his keys, opens the out door, climbs the stairs to the forth floor
where he lives. Uses his keys once more to get in the apartment. Natalie is
watching TV.
NEW FRAME:
19 ANDY'S APARTMENT - DAY 19
ANDY
Mom, where have you been?
Didn't see you this morning.
NATALIE
Yeah, woke up late.
ANDY
I couldn't see you in your
room.
NATALIE
(joking voice)
I must have been invisible.
ANDY
Mom, what's the shrink's
phone number. Need to get
an appointment.
NATALIE
On the desk, that should
be visible.
ANDY
Ha-ha very funny.
He takes the card, grabs the phone and dials the digits.
ANDY
Hi Sherri, this is Andy.
Was wondering if I could
get an appointment with the
doctor. Would appreciate if
you could return my call.
Thank you. Bye.
ANDY
What are you watching?
NATALIE
Some documentary on Jesus
Christ, if he ever existed
etc… etc…
ANDY
What do you think?
NATALIE
I think it's all B.S.
It was all Joseph in the
first place. Then, you know
I am an atheist.
ANDY
Yeah same here. Anyway,
I'm tired… Going to my room.
20 ANDY'S ROOM - TIME 20
Andy sits on the chair in front of his desk. Looking at his computer screen,
starts drinking from the vodka bottle. Using a software, puts a song from the
Irish band U2. The song is "One".
The song goes into a loop. Some error. It is stuck at the following lyrics:
"Have you come here to play Jesus, have you come here to raise the dead?"
Andy hits the computer box and the song continues: "we're one, but we're not the
same..."
Our protagonist goes to lay on his bed. Leaves his play list play. We see Andy
staring at the ceiling, smoking a cigarette, as if he's in a different world.
The following lyrics are heard
(but only samples, not limited to the ones listed below).
- You're gonna need my help I say (from Muddy Water)
- Give me one reason to stay here (Tracy Chapman)
- Will you know my name, if I saw you in heaven (Eric Clapton)
- How I wish you were here (Pink Floyd)
- You were always my original sin (Elton John)
- Don't speak (No doubt)
- Karma Police ( Radio head)
While the songs are being heard, the camera shows the ceiling rotating, then
flashbacks of the strange day he had and the "dreams". Back to Andy on the bed,
putting off his cigarette and falling asleep.
Andy wakes up, sweating. Goes to the washroom, opposite to it his parents'
bedroom. On the bed, a black haired woman. The face is buried in the pillow,
looks like Natalie. Blood on the sheets and a knife on her back.
ANDY
Shit, what the fuck is
going on? (approaches the
body, takes the knife from
her back, and lets
it drop on the floor).
The Camera shows some wiring
from the head. The wires
lead to a brown box, written
"C4". Not much distance between
her head and the explosive.
Andy hears a voice:
VOICE
Go to the living-room.
Andy walks through the corridor leading to the living-room.
VOICE
Turn left, open the exit
door.
Andy does as he's told.
VOICE
Stop! What do you see?
ANDY
The door-knob's at the
right.
VOICE
What are the odds?
ANDY
A bomb behind it.
VOICE
What do you in that
situation?
ANDY
You call 911.
Voice
Do it then.
Andy walks towards the phone.
ANDY
What if the phone is
rigged?
VOICE
What do you do in that
situation?
ANDY
You go with the flame.
VOICE
Do it then.
Andy goes to the exit door. Opens it slightly. Sees the same wires and the box
glued to the door frame.
ANDY
I wish John was here,
would have a couple of
things to tell him.
VOICE
Pretend he's here.
What is your say?
ANDY
John, I have some good
news and some bad news.
Good news is I'm finally
out of the gene pool,
gonna croak. Bad news is
it's gonna hurt like hell.
Andy with an abrupt move opens the door. We hear the wire making a psss noise as
it is getting detached from the box.
Andy suddenly morphs to a white ball-ish thing. Reversely moves in a straight
line, makes a sharp right turn to the corridor, towards the washroom.
We hear a metal bang (Andy hitting the washing machine at the end of the
corridor).
The Camera only shows a power-ball making a sharp turn to the corridor.
ANDY
Ouch that hurt!
VOICE
I had to save your butt.
You almost died.
There was no explosion. However the blooded body and sheets are still present on
his parents' bed.
VOICE
Go to bed now. You are
dreaming and tired.
Andy obeys the voice. His eyes are slowly closing and opening. He is tired from
all of this.
DISSOLVE TO:
21 ANDY'S APARTMENT - EXT DARK 22
Wakes up, same day. Goes to the kitchen and sees John.
ANDY
Oh hi John. So you came
back from Vancouver?
JOHN
No, just a small meeting
in Calgary. I'm leaving
today again.
ANDY
Man, man, I had a whacked
and wicked dream.
Unbelievable stuff.
JOHN
Are you sure it was a
dream.
John is sitting on the couch, still with his coat and shoes.
ANDY
This one is a mix.
Nightmare and dream all
at the same time.
JOHN
I'm gonna show you
something on TV.
Watch carefully.
John hits the button on the remote control (we can see it's 6 pm).
ANDY
Hey it's me opening
the door. Didn't know
we had a candid camera.
The television shows the power-ball event in his "dream".
JOHN
Andy, we want that
technology.
ANDY
Who's we?
JOHN
The government.
ANDY
I always knew there was
something wrong with you,
other than engineering.
JOHN
So are you going to give
us that technology?
ANDY
I thought it was a dream.
So I'm still dreaming!
Hahaha.
JOHN
No, this is not a dream.
Look what I have here.
Shows his gun underneath his arm.
ANDY
Oh cool, where did you
get that?
JOHN
Standard military issue.
ANDY
Can I hold it? Never held
a gun before.
JOHN
No, you can't. And don't
fuck with us. Give us the
technology immediately.
ANDY
I have no idea what you
are talking about man…
John waves the gun to Andy's face.
ANDY
So now you're gonna shoot
your own son? I see,
-step son-, I don't think
you would be shooting your
biological son.
John's hand is shaking and his face is kind of angry, as if he had a
bitter candy.
ANDY
Give me that gun John!
JOHN
What are you going to
do with it?
ANDY
I'm gonna shoot you,
then myself.
JOHN
Did you really think I
was gonna shoot my own
son?
John suddenly gets up, takes the tape from the VCR and walks
towards the exit door and says:
JOHN
We'll talk about this
later.
Exits apartment.
Andy's face expression is a surprised one. Like he doesn't believe any
of this is actually happening.
Goes to the washroom, opens the mirror closet, and grabs a
tranquilizer (Ativan). Then decides to lay on his bed.
ANDY
This is a dream, this is a
dream. None of this is real.
Somebody is knocking on the door. So Andy gets up from his bed, walks
through the corridor and opens the door. It is a police officer.
OFFICER
Good evening sir,
I came to collect your
finger prints. You are charged
with first degree murder.
ANDY
(Angry voice, kiddingly)
Am I not supposed to go to
the Police Department and
do that there?
OFFICER
Yes, but so you don't have
to bother, the department
sent me.
ANDY
Who are you working for?
OFFICER
For you.
ANDY
That is understood, but
officially, on paper,
who do you work for?
OFFICER
The department.
ANDY
Perfect, do you have a
marker, so you don't have
to point out each time the
finger you want to ink.
OFFICER
I actually do. Here it is.
Andrew takes the pen.
ANDY
Could you point the
Fingers please?
Officer pointing the fingers:
OFFICER
This one, that one,
and those. Actually
all of them.
Andy marks all his fingers with a cross mark.
ANDY
Could you excuse me please,
I forgot something in the
kitchen. I'm closing the door
so the cat won't run away.
OFFICER
No problem.
Andy takes a butcher knife from the kitchen and start cutting his
fingers.
Looking at his mutilated hands says:
ANDY
Regenerate, this is a dream…
regenerate god damn it!
Please?
Andy's fingers regenerate in the following fashion:
We see the missing fingers, and slowly a pink parasite color
appears. Like the one on a blank parasite screen of a TV, but pink
instead of black and white… The parasite fades away, and the fingers
reappear.
He takes the fingers, puts them on a plate, opens the door and says:
ANDY
There you go mister officer,
those are my real fingers,
you can do a DNA test if you
so please. You are now accessory
to murder since you could have
left my finger prints anywhere.
Next time I commit a crime
I might want to leave
my prints on purpose.
Andy shuts the door.
ANDY
Holy crap, what the fuck
was that about?
And I'm still dreaming…
unless I just performed a
miracle on myself, or that
damn vodka is damn good.
Long live mister Smirnoff!
Maybe I should start saying
hello to mister Jack Daniels.
(pause, sigh) Let's go to bed,
pretend this never happened.
Andrew goes to his room, puts some music on and falls asleep.
Camera blackout.
DISSOLVE TO:
22 ANDY'S APARTMENT - MORNING 22
Another morning, Andy goes to the kitchen to have some breakfast.
Sees John on the armchair again. Still with his shoes and coat.
JOHN
Andy, I rented a great
movie, come son let's watch
this together.
ANDY
One sec, let me have a
quick breakfast.
JOHN
Take your time, no hurry.
Andrew gobbles some bread and cheese, changes the date to Sunday.
Pours some coffee and sits on the sofa.
John hits a button on the remote control. Television is showing the
regeneration of his fingers. John hits the stop button, and turns off the TV.
JOHN
That technology we
definitely want.
ANDY
(joking voice)
Why are you asking me for?
Ask God or something.
JOHN
We did, he told us to
ask you.
ANDY
You're telling me God
is authorizing me to issue
such technology?
JOHN
Exactly.
ANDY
(joking voice)
So you want me to write it
down on a piece of paper?
JOHN
Yes please, and sign it.
ANDY
(joking voice)
What if I issue all the
technology and you leave
me alone form there on?
Deal?
JOHN
Deal.
John hands him a pen and a piece of paper.
Andy starts writing down while speaking what he writes.
ANDY
I, Andy Okur, authorize
God to issue all the t
technology, (laughing) except
possession, that is mine.
Signature: Andy Okur.
Andy looking at John:
ANDY
Will that suffice you dear
Mr.Walker, the technology
provider of the government.
John takes the paper, walking towards the exit door, says:
JOHN
Thank you kindly Mr. Alien,
you won't regret that. We'll
talk about this later.
Oh, by the way, you got cleared of the murder charge. Bye.
After John leaves, Andy switches on the television. Some preaching
on television: " Jesus Christ will be back with power and might. And will
take all his believers to heaven…"
Andy suddenly gets sleepy, camera shows the room spinning around, his
eyes are slowly closing and opening. Falls asleep.
DISSOLVE TO:
23 BLACK ROOM - DARK BACKGROUND 23
ANDY
So did you bring the
Authorization?
John is sitting on the other side of the desk. Behind him, the prime
minister, next to him two soldiers.
JOHN
(Handing over the paper)
Here it is.
Camera shows a whole pile of paper, the subject, cover page in
bold: "DESIGNS".
Camera shows the signature of Andy slowly appearing on the cover page.
Than the papers suddenly take fire. Andy stands up, turns around,
starts walking and slowly disappears on the black background.
MICHAEL
Get the papers!
SOLDIER
They're on fire sir.
MICHAEL
If you don't get them
you'll be the ones on fire!
Now go.
Soldiers take off their shirts and put off the fire. Camera blackout.
DISSOLVE TO:
24 ANDY'S APARTMENT - DAY 24
Andy's sleeping on the sofa, and John is trying to wake him up.
JOHN
Andy, Andy, wake up.
ANDY
Oh, huh, hmm… what now?
JOHN
Thank you for the designs,
but we need the prototypes!
ANDY
I thought you were gonna
leave me alone with that
shit. What prototypes?
JOHN
Immortality, teleportation,
telepathy, regeneration.
The Xerox and invisibility
we have.
ANDY
The Xerox machine? Man,
what are you talking about?
JOHN
Oh Andy, don't mess
with us. I'm in a hurry:
John the clone is about to
return from his trip.
ANDY
What clone? Ohh that.
I see now…So what do
you want me to do?
Sign another paper?
JOHN
Yes, that would be just
fine. John hands over
paper and pen…
Andy writing down and saying out loud what ever he writes.
ANDY
I, Andy Okur, authorize
the release of the prototypes.
Signature…
JOHN
Thank you Andy, you won't
regret that. I'll talk to
you later.
Takes the paper.
ANDY
One sec…
JOHN
What, quick…
ANDY
How would I know you're
not the clone?
JOHN
You won't.
ANDY
Great.
John exits the apartment.
ANDY
(yawning)
So much for sleep…
(Opening and closing his mouth with making a noise of a chewing gum.)
Chocolate, need chocolate.
Gets up…
ANDY(CONT'D)
Where did I leave my cigs?
(Does a quick search: camera showing around)
Damn, I'm sure I left on
the table… Hmm.
Leaves the house.
CUT TO:
25 OUTSIDE, SUPERMARKET - DAY 25
We see Andy walking in the market. Another woman on the floor. The
same one from yesterday. Goes to buy some chocolate, Toblerone. Not to go
through the line ups in the default cashiers, goes to pay to the tobacco
one.
ANDY
Excuse me, what happened
to the lady on the floor?
CASHIER
She just passed out couple
of seconds ago.
ANDY
Why?
CASHIER
Don't know.
ANDY
People have the habit of
passing out here, I guess.
CASHIER
Excuse me?
ANDY
The other day, another
woman passed out here.
CASHIER
I wouldn't know. I started
working here today.
ANDY
Ok. Anyhow, can I have a
pack of Camel please?
(Handing a 10 dollar bill, getting the change)
Have a nice day.
CASHIER
You too.
CUT TO:
26 EXT. NEAR ANDY'S HOUSE - DAY 26
Andrew walking towards his house. And thinking (Andy's voice)
ANDY'S VOICE
Without being psychotic and all,
there must be a logical explanation
to all of this. What about the
so called dreams, the voice,
the blood, the officer, John the
ANDY'S VOICE(CONT'D)
clone… Maybe I am a clone. I
thought it was illegalized. And
we don't even have the technology
to fast forward the process. I see,
we're getting help from the aliens…
Shit, John called me Mr. Alien.
(shaking his head from left to right)
Whatever…
Andy arrives at the building, opens the door using his keys.
Camera shows Andy climbing the stairs from the back, arriving at the top 4th
floor and opening his apartment door, walking inside the place.
CUT TO:
27 INT. ANDY'S APARTMENT - DAY 27
And suddenly sees a man. Point of view from Andy's eyes: The man has
his back towards him, looking outside the balcony. Turns around. It nobody
other than Andy; a Clone? (Clone).
CLONE
Hello Andy.
ANDY
Oh, ah, he-ll-oo.
CLONE
Let me introduce myself.
I am your clone. You can
call me Mr. Clone.
We did a background check
on you. You turned out to
be the son.
ANDY
What do you mean the son?
CLONE
You see, everybody on earth
is from a different planet.
Some from Mars, Pluto, Venus.
You're from the sun.
ANDY
Ook. Well, that explains
why I'm a hot guy. Literally,
I have the bad habit of
having a high body temperature.
Even in the winter I'm hot.
And this place goes down to
minus 20 degrees Celsius…
But, Mr. Clone, How may I
help you?
CLONE
Just wanted to pay a visit
to the son, ask how you're
doing and all…
ANDY
I'm fine, but seriously,
who are you?
CLONE
I just told you son, I
am your clone.
ANDY
Are you an alien?
Maybe you should go home.
You know, E.T go home.
CLONE
Yes I am an alien.
And we're both lucky to be
close to headquarters.
CLONE(CONT'D)
(pause). There's a book you
should consider having a look
at. Was written for occasions
like these. Abbreviated comes
to a H dot B. You don't
wanna take a guess?
ANDY
Holy Book? The bible?
Clone
Exactly.
Andy
Let me have another guess,
and you're the holy ghost?
Clone
Well, I don't like that
nickname much. But yeah,
to some people I have to
use that. For you I am
Mr.Clone.
Andy
Makes more sense you're
a clone…
Clone
Listen, some people want
to meet you. They don't know
it yet, but they will want to.
However The Pope is very
interested in having a chat
with you.
Andy
Hah, tell The Pope to take
some cocaine for Christ sakes.
He should kind of wake up you
know.
Clone
You can do that yourself.
But watch what you say, he
just might decide to do as
he's told. So you want to
meet him?
Andy
No not exactly no. Does he
know I don't believe in
religion?
Clone
He's been briefed don't worry…
(pause) You'll be notified of
the meet… I don't have much
time here. Gotta jet (smiles).
Clone walks towards Andy, therefore the door. Shows his hand as if
he wants to shake Andrew's. Andy and the Clone shake hand.
Clone
Nice meeting you son,
I might pay you another
visit. Oh by the way,
Clone (cont'd)
here's your box.
The hand, palm showing up is empty at first,
then the "Pandora box" appears slowly. Andy moves
aside to let him pass. Clone exits the apartment.
Andy is left staring at the box. Passes his index finger by every
button. Hell, Heaven, God, Invisibility, Home. Moves all his fingers as
if he's confused about which one to hit. Decides to press the God button.
Suddenly the living room is rotating. The rotation speeds up, now it's
nothing but tracers. Consequently finds himself in the black room
with his Clone in front.
CUT TO:
28 BLACK ROOM - BACKGROUND BLACK 28
Andrew waves his hand to check if it's a mirror. The clone does the
same with the other hand and with a relay in time.
Andy
Hello.
Clone
Hello Andy.
Andy's voice
(thinking, and rolling his eyes)
Damn this is boring.
Hits the home button and finds himself in the living room.
29 INT. ANDY'S APARTMENT - EVENING 29
Passes his fingers by the buttons and hits the invisibility.
Nothing happens. Checks if he can see his own hands, and yes he can. Goes to
the washroom, looks at the mirror, but he cannot see himself.
Andy
Let's do a test-drive!
He strips naked, exits the house.
CUT TO:
30 OUTSIDE CORRIDOR - EVENING 30
Knocks on the neighbor's door opposite to his. The door opens, Andy
naked makes silly faces, touches the neighbor's nose. The man scratches
it. Andy does it again, the man scratches it once more. Neighbor looks
left and right but cannot see anything. Shuts the door. Andrew
decides to walk around naked outside. Goes to the supermarket.
DISSOLVE TO:
31 INT. SUPERMARKET - EVENING 31
He is situated in front of the tobacco cashier and says:
Andy
I always wanted to touch
your breasts. (no response)
Andy with his two hands squeezes her breasts.
Cashier
Oh a cramp.
Andy this time squeezes the nipples.
Cashier
Mother Marry, Jesus Christ,
what's happening to me?!?
Andy
Will you marry me darling
to have 10 babies a day?
No response(as if she doesn't hear anything). The cashier is a bit
shocked.
CUT TO:
32 EXT. NEAR ANDREW'S HOUSE - EVENING 32
Andrew leaves the market, walking towards his apartment block.
Still naked.
CUT TO:
33 INT. ANDY'S APARTMENT - EVENING 33
Andrew unlocks his door and walks in the living room. The clone is
again present. Same view, his backside, he's looking out from the balcony,
slowly turns around and says:
Clone
I see you went on a test-drive.
Andy
Yeah I did, I don't see
the point of this.
Clone:
The military and the intelligence
agency found great use for it.
Andy
Yeah I suppose it makes
spying and assassinations
a piece of cake.
Clone
Yes it does. (pause)
Listen, you need to take
a sniff of this. Shows a
small bottle filled with
transparent liquid.
Andy
What's that?
Clone
Just trust me, you'll see
later. And here's your box.
Does the same trick; his empty hand at first, then slowly the box
appearing.
Andy takes the box, sniffs the bottle. The room starts
rotating, traces, he suddenly finds himself in front of a door.
CUT TO:
34 INT. INFRONT OF A DOOR, LEADING TO A ROOM - DIM LIGHT 34
The surrounding room is well varnished, shining wooden walls. A
man next to Andy, opening him the door. He sees the pope on the other side,
waving at him. Showing him the empty seat next to him. Andrew walks
slowly, a bit hesitant. He's still holding his box. Finally with sure
steps takes a seat next the pope.
Andy
Hello mister Pope. I'm
mister Son. You're sure
you're not Mister Mars
or something?
In the room, another man is present (Translator). The pope is his
usually self, head looking down, a tired old man. Pope makes some humming
noise, but not words.
Translator
He says he's from earth,
and he's very happy to meet
the son.
Andy
Tell him I'm very pleased
to meet him, and he should
consider taking some cocaine
to be more energetic.
Translator
He knows English.
Andy
Ohh Ok. So mister Pope,
can I call you Jean?
Translator
Yes you may.
Andy
He didn't say anything yet!
Translator
He's the Pope, he doesn't
need to talk… He says he's
possessed now, and that he's
communicating with me via
telepathy.
Andy
How convenient. Wish I
could do that.
Andy making the noise: bzzz bzzz while shaking his head left to
right.
Pope
Hmm hmm hurum hurum.
Andy
What did he say?
What did he say?
Translator
He says you're very funny.
Andy
May I ask why I am here?
Pope
Hurum Hmm Hurum.
Andy
Man, this pope is definitely
saving his energy with telepathy.
So what's the word mister
translator?
Translator
He says you're here because
he wanted to show you
something and talk to you.
Andy
About what?
Translator
About the father and the
holy ghost.
Andy
Oh he means mister Clones.
Translator
Clones?
Andy
Never mind, tell him I
know them very well.
They're like family to me.
Forgot he knows English sorry…
Mister Pope, listen, it's
an honor to meet you and all,
but you should know I don't
believe in the divine much.
It's all done with technology.
Pope
Broom buhum.
Translator
Technology that doesn't exist.
Andy
How do you know? The monkeys,
I mean the homo-sapiens,
the humans are pretty smart.
Translator
Don't you think you are human?
Andy
No I am from the sun,
the hot planet you know.
Pope
Froom froom huhum.
Andy
What did he say?
Translator
Close your eyes.
Andy closes his eyes. Camera blackout.
Translator
You can open them now.
In front of Andy, a small table with a cup of tea on it.
Andy
Damn that was silent!
How did you do that mister
pope?
Pope
Maram param.
Translator
Maybe you should believe in
miracles.
Andy
Hey, maybe we should make
you a waiter on a restaurant.
You could telepathically ask
the customers what they want
and perform your miracles there.
It would be very efficient.
You wouldn't even have to stand up.
Pope
He-he
Translator
Listen, we're going to put
something on TV.
Translator takes the remote control from the inside pocket of his
coat, and hits a button.
The TV is showing John waving his gun at Andy. Translator freezes the
screen.
Pope
Frook fruhum.
Translator
What do you want us to do
with this? We can kill him
if you want.
Andy
Naa it's ok. I don't want
to burn in the sun.
Translator
You won't be doing it,
someone else will.
Andy
Naa it's ok. But you could
do worse, make him immortal.
Pope
Guhum gaham.
Translator
So merciful, just like his
father.
Andy
So are we done here, even
if not, I'm outta here.
Nice talking to you pope.
Keep up the good work.
Andy hits the home button and finds himself right in front of his
apartment door.
35 INT. APARTMENT CORRIDOR LEADING TO APARTMENT - ext DARK 35
Takes the keys out from his pocket (he was dressed when he saw the
pope), enters in.
Natalie is there, reading a paper.
Andy
Where have you been?
Natalie
Oh, fell asleep, just woke up.
What time is it?
Andy looking at his watch.
Andy
Around 7pm.
Natalie
Where have YOU been?
Andy
Had a walk on the wild side
you know.
(his box is not with him)
Natalie
What do you mean wild side?
Andy
Just had a walk. Before
that I was watching television.
Interesting movies on TV these
days… Anyway, I'm going to
my quarters, maybe listen
to some music… Oh, I'm thinking
of quitting my job. I think
Andy (cont'd) I might have more interesting
things to do.
Natalie
Such as?
Andy
Not sure yet, seems
like all need to know basis.
Natalie
So you're not going to work
tomorrow?
Andy
Naa don't think so.
Natalie
Did you get your appointment
with the shrink? You're acting
a bit strange.
Andy
Yeah, called the nurse
Sherri, she should return
my call tomorrow. And I had
a very strange day. Days to
be honest with you. But it's
all good. Pure holy and
divine American fun. You
wouldn't believe the gadgets
those yanks have. I'm amazed
how the world isn't all American
yet. Or godly.
Natalie
Now you're talking really
strange. Did you take your
anti-psychotics?
Andy
No not really, didn't have
much time the last two days.
Natalie
Doesn't take much to pour your
self a glass of water and to
swallow that little pill.
Andy
I really didn't have time
or the occasion on that matter.
Natalie
Well ok, don't forget next
time. But anyway Andy, I
have to go, friends invited
me to dinner. So I'll be late
tonight. Here's some money,
I'm putting it on the table.
(pause)I gotta go; I'll talk
to you later.
Opens the exit door.
Andy
Bye.
Natalie leaves the apartment. Couple of seconds later phone rings, Andy answers
it.
Phone voice
Hi, this is Michael Cross.
Andy
Oh, our dear prime minister.
Phone voice
You know I can sue you for
punching me on the gut.
Andy
Sir, I have no idea what
you're talking about. Ohh that,
I thought I was dreaming,
I'm truly sorry sir.
Phone voice
You can call me Mike.
Andy
Ok Mike, how may I
help you?
Andy hits a button to put the voice on the loud speakers. (Voice)
Voice
Well, I was wondering if
you have some technology
we can buy off (of) you.
Andy
I think I gave it all away
already. Didn't Mr. John Walker contact you regarding my
authorization?
Andy's walking around the living while talking to him.
Voice
Yes he did. Was just
wondering if you have
anything else. Like
possession.
Andy
Oh that. Well, I could
refer you to God, but
you'd be only talking to
my clone. And seems like
I have some of his memories.
And no, I don't have anything
for sale.
Voice
Are you sure about that?
Andy
Well you could search my
house, I have nothing.
Voice
We already did. We're
guessing you're hiding it
on another dimension.
Andy
Another dimension?
Voice
Yes, invisibility.
Andy (laughing)
Don't you have a dimension
scan?
Voice
Would you give that to us?
Andy
I'm just yanking your
chain mister prime minister.
Fine ask God.
Voice
He's referring us to you.
And you're referring us to him.
Can't we make an arrangement
about that?
Andy
Damn bureaucracy. What's
your fax? I'll fax you the
authorization.
Voice
You got a pen and paper?
Andy
One sec please.
(Andy grabs them from the table in the living room.)
Ok. Shoot.
Voice
1-403- 238 3175.
Andy writing it down while repeating the digits out loud.
Voice
You won't regret that.
Thank you.
Andy
No problem, you're my new
best friend mister prime
minister.
Voice
Please call me Mike.
Andy
Alright Mike. Nice talking
to you.
Voice
Likewise, bye…
Andy
Bye.
Andy hangs up the phone by hitting a button on the main box.
Andy
Ok, I am mister important.
What do you do in that
situation? You change your
phone number! Failing that…
you dig a hole and hide!
Failing that, you enjoy the
ride…
Andrew goes to the washroom and takes a tranquilizer. Goes to his
room, sits in front of the computer and says out loud:
Andy
If there is a God, you
put an alien on my bed.
Looks to his right, nothing on the bed.
Looking up:
I knew you didn't exist.
Like Al says in the devil's
advocate, you are truly an
absent landlord.
Looks again to his right and suddenly a green, fat alien with 3
eyes.
Holy moly, an alien! What do
you in that situation?
Call 911!
Picks up the phone, dials the digits and says:
Andy
Excuse me, I have a situation.
Voice
(woman voice, speaking fast)
Yes sir, what is that?
Andy
I have an alien on my bed.
And he's staring at me.
Voice
Maybe you should call
the immigration office.
Andy
No, no, I mean a true
alien. E.T you know.
Voice
Sir, you're very funny.
I suggest you lay off
the booze.
Andy
So you're not gonna send
me some backup on this?
Voice
I'm hanging up sir…
Andy
One second please. At
least give me an idea
what to do.
Voice
Take him to the zoo.
Andy
Yeah, I'll tell them to put
him in the same cage with the
lions. They'll get rid of him
there.
(pause, looking at the alien who is having some stomach
convulsions)
I think he's crying.
It's a baby alien! Phone hangs
up. Andy putting down the
phone…
Getting up, stepping towards the alien. Making a sharp 180 degree
turn, goes to the kitchen and puts on some gloves. Goes back to his room.
Andy
Mister Alien, you're coming
with me. We're going to the
zoo.
Takes its arm, Suddenly the green skin of the arm comes off. And a
human arm is revealed. What the heck? Andy starts skinning the alien, and Mr.
Clone is revealed.
Mr. Clone
Thank you for feeding me
to the lions Andy.
Andy
I didn't know it was you,
or I would have … or I
would have, or huh hmm.
Mr. Clone
Or what?
Andy
Well, or, I would have,
stabbed you actually.
It's not a nice joke mister.
Mr. Clone
You made your own joke
Andrew.
Andy
I suppose you're right.
Mr. Clone
Here's your box Andy.
Hands him over the Pandora Box.
Andy
I don't see the use of this.
Mr. Clone:
You don't? Like it or not,
it's your invention. Try
the other buttons whenever
you have the time.
Andy
I got Hell and Heaven left.
Mr. Clone
I'd go for heaven, son.
Andy
Can I try this out later?
Mr. Clone
Whenever you have the time,
or whenever you so please.
No hurries.
Andrew puts the box in the drawer, and closes it.
Mr. Clone
I don't have much time
here again, I'll talk to you
later.
Puts his palm on Andy's cheek and says:
I might pay you a visit later on…
Bye.
Clone exits Andy's room. We don't hear the exit door.
Andy
Ok, that was slightly
strange. Maybe I should
have another wish. Or even
better, I should give this
so called God an excuse to
make me butt ugly… Fuck you
mister gee oh dee. Hah,
what are you gonna do?
Mutilate my face?
Andy goes to the bathroom, looks in the mirror. And nothing; his face
is normal.
Man, that was a close call
I suppose. But yeah, mister
God is absent once more. In
the case we're hallucinating
this shit, let's take our
anti-psych.
Swallows down a pill, and walks to his room. Puts some
music on, lays on his bed, lights up a cigarette…camera
blackout.
DISSOLVE TO:
36 INT. ANDY'S ROOM - MORNING 36
Next morning, we see the sun shining from his window. Alarm clock
going off as usual, goes straight to the phone to call the hotel.
Andy
Hello Mr. Khan. I just
wanted to let you know
I won't be coming today
and the other days. (pause)
Yes, you could say I found
another job. Not sure what
it is about yet… Ok will do.
Bye.
Hangs up the phone. Andrew goes to the washroom, looks at the mirror.
His face is seriously deformed. It has patches of unsymmetrical
engulfed skins, with different tones.
Andy
Aaaahhhh! (pause).
Mr. Clone where are you?
Mr. Clone!!!
Andrew passes out. Camera blackout.
DISSOLVE TO:
37 INT. ANDY'S ROOM - MORNING 37
Phone ringing. Andy wakes from the bathroom floor, looks at the
mirror quickly, still same deformed face. Picks up he phone in the living
room.
Andy
Oh hi Sherri (pause).
Yeah, wanted to see
Dr. Arato if it's possible…
Ok, what time is it now?
10 … Yeah 11 is fine.
See you later.
Hangs up the phone. Goes back to the mirror to see the same
distorted face.
Andy
This could actually be fun.
He dresses up (he's been changing his clothes before going to bed. Putting a
short on), puts his jeans on, and a t-shirt.

somebody (Sherri). Sherri passing behind Andy. Andrew turning back:
Andy
Hi Sherri, I'm 4 minutes early.
Sherri
Excuse me?
Andy
Yeah, I'm Andy… remember me?
Sherri
You're not Andy!
Andy
Oh yeah the face. Look
at my hands, those are
Andy's hands.
Sherri
Tell me where he is
immediately.
Andy
I'll show you my I.D.
Goes to his wallet in the back pocket of his jeans.
And shows the card.
Sherri grabbing Andy's hand in a fast manner.
Sherri
(decided ordering voice)
Come with me.
They walk through another corridor, Sherri opens the door on the side
of the corridor.
A grey haired man (Dr. Arato) is present in the room, sitting on
a chair. 3 chairs in total, around a coffee table.
Dr. Arato
How may I help you?
Sherri
It's Andy.
Dr. Arato
What happened to your face?
Andy
Well, I swore at God one day,
and the next morning I
woke up like this.
Dr. Arato
Ok Andy, have a seat.
Andy and Sherri sit down.
Dr. Arato
Now, tell me seriously what
happened? Did you have
an accident?
Andy
Yeah you could say that.
The glitch of disaster
happened maybe.
Dr. Arato
The what?
Andy
Glitch of disaster.
G for glitch, O for of,
D for disaster.
The Gee Oh Dee.
Pronounced God. But I'm
pretty sure it's the
aliens screwing with my head.
Dr. Arato
Andy, are you taking
your meds?
Andy
Yes doc, religiously.
Might have skipped a day
or two.
Sherri
Andrew, didn't you think
you could be wearing a mask?
Andy
I actually did but didn't
have the guts to check in
case it isn't one.
Dr. Arato
Anyhow, why did you want
to see me? Is it regarding
this new face you have?
Andy
Actually no, I wanted to
see you before this happened.
But I changed my mind now,
you'll be thinking I became
psychotic again.
Dr. Arato
To be honest with you, I am
not sure what to think.
Andy
I have a question for
you dear doctor. It may
seem out of topic
- if we ever had one...
But, what do you think
about destiny?
Dr. Arato
Why?
Andy
Well, I met two evangelists
and briefly talked about
this… But, what amazed me is,
I met them again the same day at
the same place, and they denied
knowing me. So the same
thing happened twice. Like,
you know, you have the feeling
sometimes that an event happened
before. They call it deja-vu
I think.
Dr. Arato
Yeah I know what a deja-vu is.
Didn't you think the evangelists
had a very selective memory.
Andy
No not really. Another thing
is. Just before I met them,
I was thinking of how to
identify Jesus if he ever
was on earth. And one
evangelist, had a nametag Jesus…
So can't be all coincidences.
Same thing happened at
the market.
Dr. Arato
Market?
Andy
Yeah… like things happened
twice.
Dr. Arato
Oh I see…(pause). You know,
what I should do right?
Andy
Yes, according to your book,
you should probably increase
my meds.
Dr. Arato
Yes, but luckily I am a good
doctor, and I'll let it pass
this time.
Andy
How considerate of you
mister Arato.
Dr. Arato
And next time you come,
could you please take off
that mask?
Andy
Hey, maybe the mirror and
your eyes lie. I might be
totally normal.
Dr. Arato:
Haha, yeah ok Andy, I'll see
when I see you ok?
Andy
Sounds like a good plan.
So we're done?
Dr. Arato
Yes.
Andy stands up, shakes the doctor's hand, then Sherri's.
Andy
Have a nice day. Bye.
Andrew turns around to leave from the door and…
Dr. Arato and Sherri at the same time: "Bye Andy".
Our protagonist walks through the corridor, camera fade out, camera
fade in:
DISSOLVE TO:
42 INT. ANDY'S APARTMENT - DAY 42
Andrew walking in his apartment. Going to the mirror: same distorted
face. Goes to his room, puts some music on, not loud; staring at the
screen. Lighting up a cigarette:
Andy
Hey, maybe I could go to a
university class. Nobody's
gonna know I am the Andy.
Stands up, opens his drawer, and gets the school calendar. Flips the
pages and says out loud:
Andy
Engineering 203, Statics,
1pm, room 209. I can just
make it there.
With sure steps, exits his house. Camera showing him leave the house.
DISSOLVE TO:
43 EXT. UNIVERSITY CAMPUS - DAY 43
Andrew walking towards the engineering block at the campus. We can see
it from the sign post "Engineering", with an arrow pointing to the location.
Andrew arriving at the door. Sees his clone but with the distorted face.
They are next to each other. Both of them are having a cigarette before
going in.
Clone
I didn't know I had a
twin… Hey, what are the
advantages of being
butt ugly?
Andy
That's an easy one man…
No problems with girls.
Clone
Hahaha. You're actually right.
No problems at all. What are
you doing here?
Andy
Gonna attend the statics
mechanics class.
Clone
Oh yeah, me too. So you
know, they changed the
room. It's in 301 now.
Andy
Well, I see you there then.
Throws his last bit of unfinished cigarette and walks through the
entrance.
CUT TO:
44 INT. LECTURE ROOM & CORRIDOR + LAVATORY - DAY 44
New frame: Andy going in the lecture room, taking a seat at the
back. He's looking around for the clone, but can't see anybody. Everybody
takes their place, the class is about to start. The professor enters. He
has a judge hammer with him. Right before starting the lecture, hitting the
hammer 3 times on his desk says out loud: (professor)
Professor
I have some good news
and some bad news:
the good news is everybody
gets an A, except Andy
(eye contact), he gets an F.
See you next year Andy.
Class dismissed.
Hits the hammer on the desk to finalize the scene.
Andy's jaw drops, as if he doesn't believe what he sees.
(CONTINUED)
The students start leaving the class room. Nobody is looking at Andy,
their heads are down, looking at the floor. Andrew is still paralyzed on his
seat. Finally the class empties and our protagonist leaves the room.
Opposite of the corridor, he sees his clone with the distorted face
walking towards him.
Clone
So how did your class go?
Andy
Everybody passed, but
I failed.
Clone
Maybe it's the other way
around. The world tends
to be upside down.
Sometimes we need to read
between the lines
dear Andrew.
Pointing his face.
By the way, your face is
falling apart.
Andy
Which one? My pretty or
butt ugly face?
Clone
Your butt ugly face, the
patches are coming off.
Maybe you should go to
the washroom and check it
out.
Andy turns around, goes to the lavatory, looks at the mirror. And
yes, some patch of skin is coming off. So he takes some soap, robs it to the
original part of the face and glues the skin.
Comes out of the washroom, and back to the "twin" who's been
looking out of the window.
Clone
Why didn't you take
off your mask?
Andy
I don't know. Why are
you wearing your mask?
Clone
Mine's not a mask.
Andy
Oh, (pause) I'm sorry.
How did that happen? An
accident?
Clone
Yes you could say that.
I was swearing at God one
day in the middle of a war.
And managed to catch a
grenade. Why are you wearing
a mask?
Andy
Was swearing at God one
day, and next morning
woke up like that.
Actually I requested that
face to be honest with you.
Clone
Why?
Andy
Testing him out you know…
I'm pretty sure it's an
alien entity.
Clone
What ever yanks your chain.
Andy
What do you mean?
Clone
I gotta go Andy.
Opens the window and jumps off. Andy again amazed, looks down to see
nothing. The clone has disappeared.
Andy
Definitely need beer.
Camera shows Andy walking down the stairs, exiting the building,
and entering the bar next door.
CUT TO:
45 INT. BAR - DAY 45
Andy
Can I have a beer please?
Barman
Hey, it's not Halloween
yet buddy.
Andy
This is my real face
asshole.
Barman
Oh… I'm really sorry.
Filling the pint, handing
over the glass. There you
go, on the house.
Andy
No, no need. I don't
need your pity.
Barman
Fine, comes to three fifty.
Andy handing 5 dollars, getting the change.
Andy
Hey, buddy, any girls
coming by at this hour?
Barman
In an hour this place
will be packed.
Andy
What do you think my
odds are of getting
lucky tonight?
Barman looks down, ignoring Andrew, drying a glass.
Andy
I said you think I'd
get lucky tonight?
Barman
Oh sorry, didn't hear.
Depends on the girl
you know.
Andy
My theory is that the
worse you look the
luckier you get. Cause
if you're really handsome
they tend to get intimidated.
But you're half butt ugly,
or fat, they tend to be
more relaxed with you.
In my case I'm going to
the extreme I suppose.
So I should be getting
extremely lucky.
Barman
You got a point there…
Hey, you an Engineering
student?
Andy
Was but dropped out.
Barman
So what are you doing here?
Andy
Had to meet someone.
My twin actually.
Andy gobbling down the rest of the beer…
Andy
Anyway, I gotta go…
Nice talking to you.
Barman
Likewise, feel free to
drop by anytime.
Andy
Will do yep, talk to
you later…
Turns around, exits the bar.
DISSOLVE TO:
46 EXT. OUTSIDE CAMPUS - DAY 46
Andy walks around the campus, towards the bench.
Sits down.
Suddenly Mr. Clone (without mask) is seen, the one without the
distorted face. Comes to the bench hand has a seat next to Andy while
he's busy looking in another direction.
Mr. Clone
I see you're still wearing
the mask.
Andy
Oh hi Mr. Clone. I thought
I'd never see you again.
Mr. Clone
Told you I might pay you
a visit. What about that
mask, how long will you
wear it?
Andy
I'll take it off right
now…
Stars skinning his face.
How do I look? My normal
pretty face?
Mr. Clone
Yup, hey, you wanna go
for a drink?
Andy
Sure, I know a place near
Engineering, let's go…
They stand up, they walk together. Camera showing them walk
together from the back, entering the bar.
CUT TO:
47 INT. ENGINEERING BAR 47
Mr. Clone
Can I have a beer please?
And one here for my dear
brother.
Barman
Sure…
Mr. Clone
Hey, did you see a guy here,
distorted face? Been looking
for him all day.
Barman
Actually yeah. Oh, he had a
twin too. Must be twin day.
Mr. Clone
So you're positive he came
here, cause you know, he's
a wanted criminal. Next
time you see him, call the
cops immediately.
Barman
Ohh. He seemed like a nice
guy. What is he wanted for?
Mr. Clone
Crimes against humanity.
Barman
Really now, what did he do?
Mr. Clone
He saved the world once.
That's the biggest crime
you'll ever have.
Barman
Haha, maybe I should cut
you off the beer before
you start drinking.
Andy
Let's get out of here.
Mr. Clone
No no, this is getting
interesting.(pause)
Your mama's so fat; it
says "picture continues at
the back" on her driver's
license.
Barman
Excuse me, what did you say?
Andy Looking at Mr. Clone:
Andy
Hey Bro, we have the same
mama.
Mr. Clone
I wasn't talking about our
mom, was talking to the beer
man here. He's so freaking slow,
I think he's importing the beer
from beer land or something.
Barman
Ok, that's it. I want both
of you out.
Mr. Clone
If you don't wanna become
a frog, you apologize
immediately. Screw it. Andy,
say abracadabra, but mean it.
Andy
Abracadabra.
Mr. Clone
You have to mean it.
Andy
Abra ca da bra !!
Barman turns into a frog. Mr. Clone, grabs the frog, and hands it to
Andy.
Mr. Clone
There you go, a pet.
Maybe you should learn
what frogs eat.
Andy
Let's get out of here
before the cops come.
Mr. Clone
What are they gonna charge
us with? Turning the barman
into a frog?
Andy
I still wanna go home
Mr. Clone with an abrupt and fast moves, slams the Pandora's box on
the bar and says:
Mr. Clone
There you go, your box.
Just hit home.
Andy hits the home button and finds himself in front of his
apartment.
DISSOLVE TO:
48 INT. ANDY'S APARTMENT - EVENING 48
Andrew opens the door, walks in. Looks at the frog on his palm.
Decides to go to the washroom. Andy in the bathroom, ready to flush the frog.
Andy
Sorry mister barman,
I don't like frogs. Have
fun in the sewage system.
Drops the frog in the toilet and flushes it down. Goes to his room to
check if he still has the box in the drawer. Opens it, but nothing, the drawer
is empty.
Andrew goes out of his room, walks to the living room,
lays on the sofa.
All of a sudden a voice
Hum hum.
Andy looks to his right, it's John sitting on the armchair.
Andy
Oh hi John, didn't see
you get in.
John
I was always here. Wanna
show you something on
the television.
John hits the button on the remote. On TV, a woman, (news person):
News person
A young man has been missing
for 3 days. The Barman at
the local University has
disappeared. Witnesses have
spotted two other young men
before the disappearance.
John hits the off button.
Andy
Great, what am I supposed
to do about that?
John
Andrew, this is blackmail.
Andy
Oh, who are we blackmailing?
John
They're blackmailing you,
don't play dumb with me.
Andy
I just saw the barman today.
The news says it's been
3 days.
John
Yes that's what's gonna
happen if you don't act
as you're told.
Andy
What do you want me to do?
What if I don't do as
I'm told?
John
Well, you've seen the tape.
Also what's the prime
minister's number doing
on the table?
Andy
Oh that, nothing important.
I think he was kidding
with me. Wanted me to send
him a fax ordering the
release of some(jokingly)
dimension scan device.
I suppose I could do it
just to make the man happy.
John
Andy why don't you be part
of the team? You can have a
staff, declare your cabinet
like a president does.
Andy
So you want me to be prez.
Man, I seriously don't believe
any of this. Someone's yanking
my chain.
John
Maybe that's your problem,
you don't believe in anything.
(Pause)Andrew, do you even
believe the planet called
earth exists?
Andy
Nope sirry Bob, I don't.
I'm pretty sure it's a
dead planet.
John
Here are the odds Andy.
Either you're the only one
alive or the only one dead.
A logical deduction please…?
Andy
Ok, a sound deduction
would require me to say
this is a dream or a
nightmare. Or an unreal
role playing game.
John
This is your dream son,
would you like to continue?
Andy
Yes I would.
We hear some unlocking noise. The apartment door is being opened, the
door opens and we see another John entering (twin):
Twin
I see we have a meeting…
Walking to the sofa, having a seat next to Andrew.
Andy
Hey. What's going on?
John
Nothing Andy, just a cabinet
meeting. (pause) You have
the chance to make a difference.
If you want we can bring the
whole mortal administration
here.
Andy
What do you mean?
Twin
The question should be: who
do you mean?
Andy
Ok, who do you mean?
John
We can bring the president
of the United States, the
senators and so on…
Andy
What about my dear Mike,
prime minister of Cow Land,
Canada.
Twin
Him too. But you need an
immortal Cabinet. A few
will be selected for eternity,
or until they have enough.
You have some time to think
about who you want to be
in the team.
Andy
Are you guys in the team?
John
Our status is a bit different
Andy. We're supervising this
whole operation. And we are
supervised as well. But you
don't have to worry about us.
Andy
What about the competition?
Anybody playing against us?
Twin
The whole world. It needs
some fixing.
John
Ok, we should get going
now (stands up). Hey Clone
you're coming?
Twin
Clone yourself. Don't ever
call me clone, you clone!
(smiles, and stands up as well)
They both walk towards the exit door. Right when the door opens:
Andy
One sec, what do I do?
Both at the same time (their back towards Andy)
Anything you want Andy.
And they leave the house, door closes automatically.
Andrew left alone, sitting on the sofa (camera shows from profile).
Is a bit amazed by all of this. So he looks around, not sure what to do.
Andy
They didn't give me my box!
Pffff who cares. What do
I do!? Oh yes, cabinet.
In times like these you
wish you had some friends.
Maybe I could call Brad.
Grabs the phone on his left, starts dialing the digits.
Andy
Oh hi Sara, is Brad there?
When will he be back? Ok,
could you tell him to return
my call. It's rather important…
Thanks.
Hangs up the phone. Hey let's check is that barman is still at
its place... Andy leaving the apartment.
CUT TO:
49 EXT. BUS GOING TO CAMPUS & CAMPUS - EVENING 49
New frame: Camera going under a metal arc, on top the arc written:
University of Calgary. Bus stops, Andy gets off. Passes by the Faculty of
Law, and sees his mother talking to two other people. Halts by them.
Sneaks behind his mother, showing a shhh sign (index finger on the lips) to
the others. And scares her.
Natalie
Ahhhh.
Andy
(Behind Natalie) Did you
get scared or what?
Natalie
Jesus Christ Andy, that
wasn't funny.
Andrew takes his place at Natalie's right. They form a circle.
Andy
I'm not Jesus, why are
you calling me Jesus for.
I'm the devil in disguise.
Or in the skies, but seems
like I'm on earth. I need
to staff my cabinet. Gonna
fix the world or something.
Other two people laughing…(Mark and Julia)
Hey you guys, wanna be part
of my cabinet? I'm declaring
a federal government.
Mark
No man thanks, I'm pretty
busy with these law classes.
And maybe you should lay
off the booze. (smiling)
Julia
Same here.
Andy
You're sure about that guys?
Natalie
What did your shrink say
Andy?
Andy
Thanks mom for declaring me
insane in front of them.
And the shrink said that
he's a good doctor, so he's
not gonna increase my meds.
Julia
Good doctor!
Andy
Anyhow, I gotta go. Need
to check something…Talk to
you guys later.
Mark
See ya later Andrew.
Julia
Bye.
Natalie
What time will you be
back home?
Andy
Not sure, you?
Natalie
Don't know either.
Andy
Ok, bye…
Starts walking backwards slowly.
Natalie
Bye
Andy turns around, walks towards the Engineering complex.
DISSOLVE TO:
50 INT. ENGINEERING BAR - EVENING 50
New frame: Showing Andy entering the bar.
Barman
I thought I didn't want
you here anymore.
Andy
Sorry about that man, was
my twin brother. Has a short
temper. How was the sewage
system? I'm sorry I had to
flush you down, I don't like
frogs you know…
Barman
That's it!
Punches Andy on the face.
Andy
Owe, that hurt! Abracadabra!
Suddenly the Barman morphs to an ant.
Andy
Shit, it worked!! Damn!
Those apes are really
aggressive. What did I do
wrong?
Andy looks around to see if there were any witnesses, but nobody. So
he leaves the place and starts walking towards another complex.
DISSOLVE TO:
51 INT. ANOTHER BAR - EVENING 51
Andrew has a seat near the bar.
Andy
Hey, can I have a shot
of tequila.
Drinks it.
Another please.
Drinks it.
Another.
We see a line of empty tequila glasses. Andy talking and swallowing
his words. He's drunk.
Andy
Hey Barman, you know I can
turn you into a frog or an
ant if I want to. I am the
gee oh dee.
Barman
Ok buddy, I'm cutting you
off.
Andy
And I'm cutting you off
your life support.
Abracadabra.
Nothing happens.
Abracadabra I said.
Still nothing.
Barman
I think you should go home.
You want me to call a cab?
Andy
No man, I can teleport
there, problem is I don't
have Mr. Clone or my box
with me.
Barman
I'm calling you a cab.
Picks up the phone on the column. We see lips moving; the music is
loud.
Ok, it should be here in
about 3 minutes. Can you
walk there or …?
Andy
I can fly man, watcha talking
about. I'll walk, need the
exercise.
Andy stumbling a bit, and starts walking, a bit zigzagging…
CUT TO:
52 INT. INSIDE CAB - NIGHT 52
New frame: Andy getting in the back seat of the cab.
Andy
Take me to heaven mister
driver. You know where
I live?
Driver
Yes Andy, we live in the
same place.
Cab starts rolling.
Andy
Hey, how did you know my
name?
Driver turns around to show his face.
Hey mister clone, I didn't
know you were a taxi driver.
Mr. Clone
I'm not, but the driver
of this car is.
Andy
Ok Mr. Clone. You're my
savior for the day. I tried
to find myself a cabinet,
but I'm not taken real serious.
And I have my doubts about this
whole thing. SO, where are we
going?
Mr. Clone
Home Andy, we're going home.
Andy
Paradise?
Mr. Clone
Nope Andy, paradise can wait.
We're going to the apartment.
You're going at least.
I'm just gonna do some cab
driving after dropping you off.
Andy looking out the window, camera shows the surrounding road and
traffic lights spinning. He finally falls asleep. Camera black out. Camera
rolling:
Mr. Clone shaking Andy's arm:
Mr. Clone
Andy wake up, you're home.
Andy opens the passenger door, gets out, and without saying anything to
Mr. Clone unlocks the building door (a challenge, since he's drunk).
Walks in.
53 INT. ANDY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 53
New frame: Andy walking in the house. Back view: John is on the
armchair.
Andy
Oh hi John. Man, I couldn't
find myself a cabinet.
No one took me seriously.
John
Andy, why don't you have a
seat, let's talk.
Andy takes a seat on the sofa.
Andy
I have no idea how to tell
them to be on my cabinet.
It all seems out of whack
you know.
John
I know. All you need to
do is to give loud orders.
We managed to give you a
cabinet. You won't even have
to meet them. However they'll be
with you 24 hours. So just
keep talking to yourself.
Think of us the genie in a
bottle, with infinite grants
of wishes.
Andy
John, that's too much
responsibility, not enough pay.
John
So you want money?
Andy
No, I just don't know
what to do. Other than
nuking some countries.
John
We tried it, it doesn't work.
Andy
I didn't hear anybody
getting nuked.
John
I know you didn't.
We have simulators,
using a different database…
Anyhow, you wanna call
the prime minister and
include him on the staff?
Cause you know, we do need
executive branches.
Andy
Sure, I'll do it right now.
Andy takes a pen and paper, and starts writing, saying out loud:
Andy
Me, Andy Okur wants Michael
Cross in my secret cabinet
as an executive branch of
my federal government. Signature…
Andy goes to the fax machine and sends the letter.
John
You don't have to worry
about the Americans, we
took care of them. Now
we need a plan.
Andy
Can't we talk about this
tomorrow. I had a few drinks…
John
That I can hear…and smell.
So what do you want them
to do? Other than nuking
the whole lot.
Andy
I suppose we can donate to
charity and fix aids all
that nasty stuff that comes
along.
John
Don't you think this comes
second place? We need an
objective. Like they have
in the movies.
Andy
Save and fix the world…(pause)
I know that encompasses a lot
of things. Man, I don't know.
Ohh, here's one. Let's kill
all the terrorists. I mean,
we have invisibility. Finding
them should be a piece of cake.
John
Yes that we can. But, we need
to keep things real. If all
of a sudden people realize
Utopia has been created,
there will be panic and chaos
on the streets.
Andy
So, we're not in a hurry?
John
Nope, we have until the end
of time. Use your cabinet
wisely.
Andy
Ok John, I need to go to bed.
Stands up...
Goodnight.
John
Goodnight, don't let the
big ugly mother lovers bite.

Andy
Hi Mr. Khan, how are you?

Mr. Khan
So here's our quitter.
Andy
Hah, I'm not really quitting,
kinda had a better offer.
It's a mysterious job really.
I get to have my own staff too.
Mr. Khan
Well, you had your staff here.
Had maintenance at your order,
as well as room cleaning and
you could have had accountancy too.
But up to you know. Well…
opens a drawer.
Mr. Khan (contn'd)
Here's your paycheck. (pause)
Can I ask how much you're getting
paid at the other job?
Andy
I'm not sure yet. I think
I have my expenses covered,
that's about it.
Mr. Khan
What kind of expenses?
Andy
Cigarettes, food, rent…
things like that.
Mr. Khan
Didn't your parents pay for
these already?
Andy
You have a point, I think I
bought my freedom or some sort.
I really don't know what to
tell you, it's a bit complicated.
Listen I gotta go. Hey, would
you like to be my partner in
that job?
Mr. Khan
No thanks, I make more than
my expenses here… Hey, what
are your responsibilities
there?
Andy
I think I am going to fix
things… Things that have
gone bad or about to go nasty.
Something like maintenance task.
Mr. Khan
Sounds boring to me. You know
Philip here, he's bored all day.
Sits in a room all the time,
waiting for reception to call
and tell him to fix the mess.
(CONTINUED)
Mr. Khan (contn'd)
And believe me, some times it
gets real bad. You remember
the time when the sewage
pipe decided to explode at
the basement. Guess who had
to go down there.
Andy
I don't think I'll be
dealing with sewage systems.
Although, I did experience
something like that before...
Mr. Khan seeing a customer approaching:
Mr. Khan
Well, I wish you all the luck.
(pause) Yes, how may I help you
sir?
Andrew turning around and walking out of the hotel
corridor, looking right, wind blowing on his face; we can see from
the profile view… (Still) from back view: Andy in front the hotel door;
walks with sure steps to the right. towards a phone boot.
CUT TO:
56 EXT. PHONE BOOT - DAY 56
Throws in some coins, dials in the digits and says:
Andy
Oh hi Brad, man, I'm at
the city, you wanna go
grab a few beers at the park?
(pause) Ok, I'll wait for you
on the hill grass by the bench.
I'll probably be there in
10 minutes, I'm pretty close.
See you soon…
Andy hangs up the phone and starts walking towards the
park: We can see it on the horizon: couple of blocks away.
CUT TO:
57 EXT. PARK - DAY 57
He finally arrives at the park, sees Sara (Brad's girlfriend) and
Brad drinking beer. Walks on the sloped hill, so he waves.
Andy
Hi guys, I see you bought
the medicinal fuel
(pointing the beers on
the grass).
Sara
Yup. SO, what was so
important on the phone?
You sounded really stressed.
Brad
Hi Andy, long time no see.
Andy
Hi Brad buddy.
(Looking at both of them)
Yeah, wanted to have a chat.
I might as well say it before
we get real hammered. Guys,
I'm opening a company, and
I was kind of wondering if
you'd like to take part in it?
Brad
What kind of company?
Andy
It's a company that deals
with issues.
Sara
I can hardly deal with
my own issues…
Andy
Actually it's a company
that deals with our own
issues as well.
Brad
Yo Andy, dude, you didn't
even have beer and you're
talking strange.
Andy
Oh yes, yes, must drink
beer. (Smiles and opens a can)
So I was saying. A company
that's gonna deal with problems.
Brad
What kind of problems?
Andy
This is going to sound
even stranger; but universal
problems. We're gonna be
telling people what to do,
and how to do. I honestly don't
know the details yet. But
I need some people I can trust.
Sara
You have any capital to even
jump start your mystery
company?
Andy
I'm guessing it's all
gonna be funded by governments
or private citizens.
Andy drinks his beer in one shot, and grabs another can.
Sara
(smiling, jokingly)
What's it gonna be called?
Andy
I don't know, haven't
thought about the name.
What do you suggest?
Brad
Let me see, if we're gonna
be dealing with universal
problems, we might as well
name it: The Cleaner, The Fixer,
The Solver… anything like that
.
Sara
Maybe we should have
no name.
Andy
Yeah, it ain't gonna be a
conventional thing. So I
think we shouldn't have
any names. I have some sort
of staff ready, so I'll tell
him to give you a call.
Brad
Haha, Andy the elitist!
Kidding: Yes sir, we shall
wait with extreme patience
and caution for your appointed
contact.
Sara
Hey, let's enjoy the beer.
Smiling
We'll talk business later.
Andy
Sounds good to me… Hey, you
guys wanna go night clubbing
later?
Brad
Yeah but let's get loaded
first, god knows the beer
there is highway robbery.
Camera shows the trio laughing, drinking, all without sound. Then
back to sound:
Brad
I think we're ready to go
bar hopping.
Andy
Let's boogie!
They stand up.
Brad
Shit, where did I leave
the car? Sara, I need some
intel here.
Sara
(pointing the car behind the
tree) It's right there…
They all walk towards the car, they get in and car starts rolling.
Andy at the front seat, Sara behind (white car, a bit rusted and
old).
We see the car parking, engine off, the trio walking out, Brad
locking the door. They start heading towards the club. But there is a line
up.
CUT TO:
58 EXT. & INT. NIGHT CLUB - NIGHT 58
Andy
Watch this Brad, works
like a charm every time.
Andy addressing the bouncer:
Will 20 bucks do?
Bouncer
Yes indeed sir.
Andy puts the 20 in his palm and shakes the bouncer's hand,
giving him the bribe.
They go in the club without having to wait in the line.
The music is techno of course… Andy shouting:
Andy
Hey Brad, I'm gonna go
grab some whisky…. I'll
be right back.
Andrew goes to the bar while his friends sit around a table, one
floor up the dance floor. We can see a sea of heads, people are dancing.
Our protagonist comes to the table with 3 glasses of whisky. He raises his
drink and says:
Andy
To ruling the world!
Brand and Sara (doing the same)
To ruling the world!
Sara takes Brad by his arm and they go to the dance floor. Andy is
left alone, looking from the 'balcony' at the people dancing. Some
lasers...
A man sits opposite to him. It's the clone with the distorted face.
Hands him over a box (puts it on the table) wrapped up like a gift. The
distorted face leaves the table after having eye contact with Andrew. Andy
starts unwrapping the box. Opens the cover, and sees a small book:
"Manual". Takes the book out, sees a black device. Something of the sort you
put around your arm when you have an injury; but black. Takes the
apparatus out of the box, underneath that a small round ball; also in b lack. It's the last device in the box.
So he starts flipping the pages of the manual. And sees the
following titles: Invisibility, teleportation. Puts the 'toys' back in the box
and looks around to see if the distorted face is still there, but cannot
see him. However he spots Sara and Brad walking towards him. The friends have a seat around the table. Sara pointing the box:
Sara
Hey what's this?
Andy
A gift. I think it's meant
for you guys. I even got a
manual for it.
Brad
What is it?
Andy
Have a look yourself.
Slides the box over. Brad takes the manual, flips the pages. Sara
puts the thing on.
Sara
So what's that for?
Brad
Take if off immediately.
(Sara takes it off)
Andy, where did you get
that?
Andy
I just told you, while you
guys where on the dance floor,
some guy just gave it to me.
Brad
And you're giving it to us?
Andy
Sure, I don't see the point
of it. But remember what
we talked about? Stuff like
solving issues.
Brad
Yeah…
Andy
I think it'll be real handy
to have that toy for fixing
shit. But I don't see the
point for personal use, other
than money maybe.
Brad
This better be real Andrew.
Andy
Oh it's real. Mine worked.
I did a test drive… Test
it yourself.
Brad puts on the thing, reads the manual a bit. Hits a button and
suddenly becomes invisible.
Sara seeing this is a bit amazed. Her jaw has dropped.
Sara
So you were actually making
some sense at the park…
Do I get to have one as well?
Andy
I don't know. I only received
one. I suppose you can
share it.
Brad suddenly appears:
Brad
Look what I got
(showing him some 20 dollar
bills) from the till.
Andy
Shit Brad, I don't think
you should use this for that!
Brad
What else is it gonna be
useful for? Oh yes, rapes
and kills would be cool.
Sara throwing a bad look at Brad.
Sara
Kills maybe but rapes I'll
have to be against!
Brad
I was just saying, not
that I would do it. But man,
it's easy cash.
Andy
(yawning)Man, I'm seriously
tired… Can you guys drop me
home?
Brad
Why not teleport there?
Andy
I don't care how, as long
as I get back home.
Brad looking at the manual:
Brad
It says here, you have to
leave the portal to the
place you wanna teleport.
(pause). So Andy, I'm sorry
we'll have to go by car.
Hey, can I keep these?
Andy
Sure it's for you.
Sara
Let's go…
They stand up, camera showing them leaving the club door…walking on
the sidewalk:
Brad
That's what you were talking
about at the park. The company
I mean…
Andy
Yeah, I think we're supposed
to do good stuff with that.
But man, take your money from
the bank. Not from normal tills!
They arrive at the car and get in… camera fade out.
DISSOLVE TO:
59 INT. ANDY'S APARTMENT 59
Suddenly the phone rings, Andy gets up to answer it:
Andy
Oh hi Brad. (Pause) What
did you do? Robbed the bank?
Man, how much? 200 thousand
dollars?!? What are you going
to do with it? (Pause)
You can't just go buy yourself
a house, they might ask you
where you got all of this.
Listen, I just woke up, give
me couple of hours… Ok, talk
to you later.
Andrew switches on the TV, then goes to kitchen. Same routine
breakfast. On the background we can hear the television:
Television
University of Calgary barman
has been reported missing.
Andrew looks at the TV.
Last seen at his apartment block
around 10 am. If you know his
whereabouts please call the
following number…
Andy
Shit, I know where he is.
Probably part of ant colony
by now. Poor guy really.
He's probably enjoying
serving the queen, maybe
even bartending there.
Who knows.
Door knocks. Andy opens it, but sees no one. Suddenly Brad becomes
visible. He's holding a bag.
Brad
Hi man. Sorry had to bother
you with this, but can I hide
the money here?
Andy
Oh. Ah. Looks like I have no
choice but to say yes.
Brad
So you're gonna let me in?
Andrew walks aside, lets Brad walk in. Brad puts the bag on the
table opposite of the kitchen. Turning his face to Andy and says:
Brad
So you're telling me I can't
spend this?
Andy
Yes you can, but you can't
just go around buying a house
or a car. Maybe you should
put the money back where you
got it?
Brad
Na man, I ain't returning the
cash. But it was so easy. I
just had to wait until somebody
opened the volt. Started filling
the bag until I didn't have any
place left.
Andy
Yeah well, I suppose you can
use the money to cover your
normal expenses. Like rent
and food. (Pause) I think you
just bought your freedom, stole
it is more likely.
Brad putting his arm in the bag and showing Andy the round ball: the
portal.
Brad
Can I leave the portal here?
I thought of leaving it at
the bank. (Pause) You know,
this thing goes invisible.
Watch:
Brad shows the invisibility gadget wrapped around his arm. Puts the
portal on the table, and presses a button on the gadget. The portal becomes
slowly transparent.
Andy doesn't seem amazed, normal look, even a bit bored…
Andy
Great, so you're gonna be
teleporting here?
Brad
Yeah, it's much more practical
than driving or taking a cab.
You don't mind do you?
Andy
Naa man, it's fine with me.
Brad
So, tell me what's the master
plan?
Andy
I don't know, I haven't been
briefed yet.
Brad
Briefed by whom?
Andy
The holy-ghost. I call him
mister clone, because he looks
just like me, a twin.
Brad
Wait a second, that makes you
Jesus?
Andy
Fuck if I know. The pope
Thought I was him. I'm not
sure what to believe anymore.
It seems like it's all done with technology. And you have the
proof.
Suddenly the door opens, we see Mr. Clone walking in. Brad a bit
amazed, looks at Andy, at the Clone, back at Andy…
Mr. Clone
I see you have managed to recruit
yourself a member for the cabinet.
Looking at Brad, offering his hand to shake:
Hi Brad, I am mister clone, my role
is to supervise the events. I
imagine you have a lot questions.
The answers are hidden in time.
Turns out to be all
need-to-know bases.
Brad
I do have some questions yes.
First of all, what are we
supposed to do?
Mr. Clone
Anything you want.
Brad
I want a house and a new car,
but Andy here says I'll be
busted.
Mr. Clone
He does have a point. This
job basically covers your
living expenses and as I can
see (pointing the bag),
even some bonuses. Of course
you can buy yourself a car,
but we cannot guarantee
immunity.
Andy
Brad, forget about the car
and a house.
Mr. Clone starts walking back towards the exit…
Andy
Hey, where are you going?
Mr. Clone
I'm done here. You guys have
it kind of figured out. I can
only suggest that you make a
plan, have an objective to
accomplish. For example Andy,
you have the prime minister's
phone number on your display.
Try to use it once a while.
As to you Brad, I advise you
keep this money, and live on it.
Put an effort on not to draw
attention on yourself.
Brad
I understand…
Mr. Clone
Ok then, I'll eventually talk
to you later.
Opens the door and exits… the door shuts on itself.
Brad
Andrew, I'm a bit confused.
All our dreams can come true
with these toys. Hey, (smiling,
joking expression) maybe we
should talk to the pope and
get church money to live on.
We can fool him we're divine
beings.
Andy
Na man, he'll only think you're
an appointed saint. I talked to
him you know.
Brad
And…?
Andy
And nothing. He's basically
convinced I am from the divine.
Brad
Hahaha, he should maybe
look up his definition of
the divine. Or you just
invented a new one.
Andy
I know man, tell me about
it. Problem is, we got
no clue about anything.
And I don't think Mr. Clone
is briefed on anything.
Brad
Here's the plan:
we start assassinating people.
For example the Libyan leader
should be the first on the list.
Andy
It's only one phone call away.
Brad
Forget the phone man, I can
do it myself. Always wanted
to get me one of those people.
Andy
So this is what we do, get
rid of bad dictators?
Brad
I don't know, I'll see what
I can do. All I need to do
is jump on a plan being invisible.
And walk around Libya until I
find a palace and start looking
for the fucker.
Andy
Fine do it, I don't care.
Brad
You can watch my show on CNN
(smiling). You mind if I
leave the bag and the portal
here.
Andy
Nope, don't mind.
No problem.
Brad
Ok. Oh so you know,
I quit my day job at the
car cleaning place.
Andy
I quit too.
Brad
Okidoki, I'm outta here.
Might pay you a fast visit.
Keep an eye on CNN, see the
Brad show.
Andy
Hah will do. Bye…
Opens Brad the door. Brad leaves. Andrew is left alone. Still a bit
unsure of everything, decides to have a seat on the sofa. The apartment door
opens and John walks in. With decided steps, without taking his coat off,
has a seat on the armchair opposite of the sofa.
John
So I've been briefed.
Andy
Oh good somebody that knows
something. What do you know?
John
Just that you recruited
someone to the team.
Andy
Oh that yeah. I think we're
gonna take someone out.
John
I see. Who may that be?
Andy
Just watch the news.
It will be a surprise.
I probably should have
consulted with the prime
minister about that.
But as we all know very well,
I don't think we need to ask
politicians what to do.
John
You have a point about that.
Anyway, I came to tell you
something. The Americans are
getting ready for a nuclear war.
India and Pakistan have already
decided which targets to nuke.
So what I need from you is an
authorization to expedite
the whole process.
Andy
I think I already am working
on a catalytic effect.
So wait till you hear some
horrendous news on TV.
Something to shake up the
Arabic world.
John
So are we ok for a nuclear
war?
Andy
I'm pretty sure most of
the eastern hemisphere is
economically expendable.
And since their independence
they only managed to create
more problems. I don't know if
that means they need to go to
the last stop; the grave.
John
I imagine you know that an
ethically and morally aware
individual would be against
a massacre of infinite degree.
Around a billion would kiss
their ass goodbye.
Andy
What are you telling me?
That I should not issue a
nuclear war?
John
It's up to you, you make the
decision. Odds are, you
individually won't get
killed in the process.
Even if you do, we'll clone
you up. Think of yourself
as immortal.
Andy
Whatever… I do have a
question though:
Where is the other John?
John
He's busy in the states,
talking to the American cabinet.
Oh, another thing, we have to
keep things secret from Natalie.
She might get too comfortable
with power and money.
So for her, I am working as an
Engineer.
Andy
Understood. Also, do I get
my box?
John
No not yet, we confiscated that
to do some tests.
Andy
But man, I wanted to hit
the heaven button.
John
You're telling me you don't
know what happens in heaven?
Andy
No, I never got to try it.
John
I'll fill you in later about
that… Listen I have to portal
out, I have a meeting with
the CIA in about a minute.
So, we'll catch up later…
John hits a button on the device he's holding. It's a small
rectangular box like a garage door opener. Suddenly he disappears.
Phone rings…Andy answers it. It's the prime minister.
Michael
Hi Andy, how are you?
Andy
Oh hello mister prime.
Michael
I received your fax.
I didn't understand well,
could you elaborate on that
secret cabinet?
Andy hits the loud speaker button and starts walking around the living
room.
Andy
Well, I am recruiting some
cadets (laughing). Would you
like to be a cadet? You'll have
all your expenses covered.
All you need to do is do
something that might make a
difference. (pause)
I have a question for you:
do you think we should take
out the Libyan leader?
Michael
We obviously have considered it.
But decided not to do so.
That region turns out to be
critical for its balance.
Andy
Oh, hopefully we can raise people
from the dead.
Michael
Excuse me?
Andy
I kind of allowed an
assassination to be carried
out. Also, I would suggest
you get ready for a nuclear war.
Something like go straight to
your bunker on the first occasion.
Michael
We're ready for this kind of
thing 24 hours. But tell me
more about your cabinet,
how is it different than mine?
Andy
Mine works very efficiently
and doesn't need bureaucracy
to do something. But hey,
I think I'm gonna need you
for the mere mortal part
of the mission. Why don't you
be my right arm?
Suddenly John appears. Simply appears without any door sound (probably
teleported). Takes a seat on the armchair as usual.
Hey Mike, John just came in.
Wanna say hello? I think he was
at the CIA.
Michael
Hello Mr. Walker, this is
the prime minister.
John
Hi Mr. Cross. (Pause) I think
you should hear this as well.
India and Pakistan have activated
their underground missiles.
They're armed as of couple
of seconds ago. Andy, we need you
for a while.
Andy
Man, I don't like taking long
flights.
John
No need, all you have to
do is hold this (showing
the small rectangular
teleportation device),
and hit the button.
Andy
Right I forgot. What do I
do with this bag? (pointing
the money bag)
John
Leave it here, who cares.
(pause) Excuse me Mr. Cross,
but you'll have to continue
this talk later. Have a nice
day. (Hits the hang up button)
Ok Andy, take this, deep breath
and press the flashing red button.
Andrew does as he's told. The room starts spinning, nothing but
tracers and suddenly finds himself in a room.
60 INT. COMPUTER & RADAR ROOM - LIGHTS 60
The room is full of computers, some radar screens, the walls are
filled with Asian maps. Some people (employees) are running around as if
there is a big panic.
Employee1
Missile launched. Counter
on its way. Impact in 1 minute.
Counting down.
Employee2
Pakistani missile intercepted.
Andrew approaches a man seemingly in charge of the operation. The man
has a tie, very well dressed (Man).
Andy
Excuse me, what's going on?
Man
Oh here you are… Well, what's
happening is easy. India and
Pakistan are actually launching
missiles to one and other.
All we're doing is making
sure the nukes don't go off
anywhere. So after this show is
over, we're gonna have a chat
with the fellows. Basically
say "bad boy, bad boy".
Andy
Why am I here?
Man
First of all, for your
protection; we're in a bunker.
Secondly you're the one who's
going to talk to them,
(pause) after they decide
they've launched enough nukes.
Employee1
Sir, the attacks are over.
Should we initiate collection
of nuclear warheads?
Man
Please do. Andy, be prepared
to talk to the two nuclear powers.
Agent2, please put the Pakistani
leader on the phone.
Employee2
Yes sir. (hits a few buttons
on the panel) Pakistani leader
online sir.
Man
Andy, grab this phone and
talk.
Andy takes the phone on the panel and…:
Andy
Bad boy, bad boy. Hangs up
the phone.
Man
Andrew, we imagined something
more profound and serious,
but that will do I guess.
Time for India…
Employee2
India online sir.
Man
Grab that phone again.
Andy picks up the phone on the panel:
Andy
Bad, bad, really bad.
Now, go to your room,
you're grounded.
Hangs it up, looks at the man:
How was that?
Man
Could have been more
professional, but that's
the point we wanted to relay.
Thank you Andy. Feel free to
go home or look around if
you want…
Andy
I think I'll look around...
Andy starts walking around the command room. Sees a panel with
buttons, country names written on top of them. Around 20 buttons
(countries), he also comes to pay a attention to the button "apocalypse". A
bit ahead of the panel a book with the title "constitution". Takes it, and
start flipping the pages, only the first page is inked, the others
are blank: "Illegal to kill without approval". Continuing his walk, opens
a door. In front of him a small storing room with boxes. On them some
writing: staff equipment. Andrew decides to open one. After retrieving the
content we see a suit. Something like a diving suit. On the left arm the same
device he received at the night club. A belt with a gun at the waste.
Still on the belt, some portal devices…
Suddenly a hand lands on Andy's shoulder. It is the man who seemed
in charge on the operation:
Man
I see you've found the
agent suits. You can
have it if you want.
You did the prototype we
just made it prettier.
Andy
I don't recall doing this.
Man
You remember your box?
Pandora's box. We used it
to invent this. We already
have a portal installed in
this establishment. All you'll
need to do is hit the button,
and poof you're here.
Andy
How about you contact me
when I am needed?
Man
Oh don't worry, you'll be
reached when we want you
to witness something.
Andy
What else is there here
that's worth looking?
Man
That's about it, a command room,
some storage place and washroom
on that matter.
Andy
What's the apocalypse button
I saw in the command room?
Man
That's the last resort
really. If things go terribly
wrong, we make them think the
world came to an end. Think of
it as if you're in a ship and
that is your exit pod.
The plan is to call the
(CONTINUED)
Man (contn'd)
apocalypse if our existence
is seriously threatened.
The odds are we'll never have
to use it.
Suddenly an employee comes, a bit of a panicking voice:
Employee
Sir, we have a missile
approaching.
Man
Origin?
Employee
Somewhere Asia sir.
Man
Intercept it immediately.
Employee leaves the storage room running.
Man
Looks like we have an enemy
who doesn't even know who
we are.
Andy
You're not very secretive
with this organization
I suppose.
Man
They don't know who we are,
probably just the location
of this complex. I don't think
we have a rat in the house
but hmm. We'll figure out later
who they are. Andy, I have
to go back to command quarter.
I'll talk to you later.
Man goes back to the command quarter. Camera shows him walking
through a corridor.
(CONTINUED)
Back at Andy… He takes the portal device out of his pocket, hits the
button. Again same effect; room starts spinning, only tracers.
CUT TO:
61 INT. ANDY'S APARTMENT - EVENING 61
He finds himself in his living room. Tired of his day, decides to
lay down on the sofa. Switches the TV on: The News. Speaker says:
"We just received breaking news, the Libyan leader was found shot
dead on his bed…"
Andy
Holy crap. I can't
believe this.
Natalie enters. She's carrying her school bag as usual.
Andy
Mom, you wouldn't
believe what just happened.
Kaddafi got assassinated.
Shit, hopefully the Arabs
won't be too offended by this.
Natalie
A hello first would be
nice Andy. And who cares
about that terrorist?
Andy
I don't but, maybe it
was the wrong thing to
do you know.
Natalie
Why are you so worried?
You didn't do it, did you?
Andy
Haha, well, yes and no.
I didn't object to it.
Now I do but a bit too late
I think…
Natalie
Andy, anyhow I'm really
tired. I'm going to sleep,
see you later. He'll find
a way to raise back from
the dead. People like him
always find a way. They have
a deal with the so called
devil.
Andy
Haha, what's my deal and
with whom?
Natalie
I don't think you've read
your social contract before
coming to earth, neither
have I, must have been in
a real hurry.
Andy
Couldn't agree more,
did you know that…
Natalie
Listen Andy, we'll talk
about world politics later,
I'm going to rest for a
while.
Andy
Sure. Have a nice rest.
As Natalie leaves the living room to go through the corridor then her
room.
Brad appears.
Brad
Hi Andrew, your mother
home?
Andy
Yeah she just went to
her room. Man, I just
heard it on the news,
you killed him.
Brad
That's correct sir.
It was way too easy.
I killed him with his own
gun. Getting there was a
piece of cake. All I had
to do was to catch a
private jet. (pause)
Who do we get next?
Andy
Man, I don't think we
should go around wasting
people. All they will do
is replace them. Not
gonna change the status
quo really.
Brad
Whatever, that was my
first kill. It's more
satisfying than my computer
games. I say we go for
Saddam now. It doesn't
matter if you approve it
or not, I will do it.
Andy
I veto that man. And I read
some constitution paper. It
says it's illegal to kill
without authorization.
Brad
What constitution?
Andy
I was kinda busy too.
Been to a place and the
book was there. Anyway,
my mother says Kaddadi will
raise from the dead.
Brad
We can do that too?
Andy
I think she was just kidding,
not sure she's even aware
of what's happening. (Pause)
Also, take the bag with you.
Lucky my mother was too tired
to notice it. Plus, I'm also
tired. Can we talk about
this tomorrow?
Brad
Sure, I'm outta here.
Talk to you later.
Brad exits the apartment, taking the money bag with him.
Andy is left alone. He's on the sofa, his eyes are slowly closing and
falls asleep.
DISSOLVE TO:
62 EXT. BLACK ROOM - BACKGROUND BLACK 62
Andrew once more finds himself in the black room. Opposite of the desk
John:
John
Andy, I heard you took
out the Libyan leader.
Andy
Yeah I think that was a
mistake. Can we raise him
from the dead?
John
That's what we're gonna
do like it or not anyway.
We have the means to take
things our of the context
and place it back. Think
of it as a history changer.
All we need to do is basically
cut and paste like you do in
a writing software.
Andy
Ok then, Brad's not gonna like
this though.
John
Are you sure you want to
keep him in the cabinet?
Andy
Yeah, but someone needs
to talk to him.
John
Consider it done.
John hits a button on the desk, so a sliding small compartment
reveals a button.
Press this when you want to go home.
Andy
What about my Pandora box?
John
Later, just hit this.
Andy does so and wakes up back on the sofa in the living room. It's
dark outside: night time.
