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.

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?

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.

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 walks out the store and flashbacks the name tag "Marry", and says out loud:

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)

While walking towards the tobacco cashier sees a woman laying on the floor, 
people surrounding her

      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?

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.

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.

      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.

	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

				Signature: Andy Okur.
 
	Andy looking at John:

				Will that suffice you dear

				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…"

				You see, everybody on earth

				Some from Mars, Pluto, Venus.
				You're from the sun.

				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.

	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.

	Phone ringing. Andy wakes from the bathroom floor, looks 	at the

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.

41	INT. INSIDE HOSPITAL - LIGHTS 					41

	We see the sign "Psychiatry unit 21" on the corridor. 	Andrew goes 
to the waiting room and sits. Looks at his 	watch: 10:56. We see the Camera 
following a curled hair 	woman, looking around as if she's looking for 
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:

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.

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

	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.

				This is my real face

					   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.

				Will do yep, talk to

	Turns around, exits the bar.

	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

					   Andy
				I'll take it off right

	Stars skinning his face. 
			
				How do I look? My normal

				Yup, hey, you wanna go

					   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

					   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.

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

				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

					   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.

				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.

	New frame: Sunshine coming from the Andy's

changes the date to the 15th. Walks towards the 	phone, dials some digits. 

					   Andy
				Hi Mr. Khan, how are you? 
			     (pause) I'm fine. Was going

				(pause) Oh ok, when can I

				Ok, thank you. 

	Hangs up the phone.

55	INT. HOTEL - MORNING					 55


	New frame: Andy getting off the bus, walking in the hotel. 	Camera 
shows Mr. Khan at the reception, talking to some 	customer. Andy 
waiting…After the customer leaves.

					   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.
