GIMME SNAX

Transcript

1. Created using Celtx EXT. NETHERTON - DAY A small, crappy town. One part looks full of humans, driving around in their cars, going on about their normal life. Another part seems to have houses that are a mixture of human houses, but looking more unkempt, some are even abandoned or made out of weird materials like cardboard boxes or milk cartons. On that part of town, a building that looks like a red gas can is FLAME'S HOUSE. INT. FLAME'S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY REX, early-20s, cheerful, and athletic, opens a cabinet and looks for something. Opens another, keeps looking. Nothing. He goes for the fridge and opens it. It's almost empty. BATTER, mid-20s, an odd-looking bat hangs from the ceiling, comes in. REX Batter, have you seen my protein shakes? BATTER Eww, those disgusting brews? REX Yea. They're gone. I had a whole supply in the kitchen. BATTER I didn't take 'em, mate. I'm lookin' for my blood jellies meself. REX The fattening ones? BATTER "Fattening"? You think I'm a fat arse? REX No. Morbidly obese. Batter glares at Rex. REX Just a little? Z, a little floating alien, flies in crying.

BATTER We don't need to look far, there's only one particular suspect. INT. FLAME'S ROOM - DAY REX opens the elevator gate with his arms revealing FLAME and his messy room. He's munching on Cero Bars. REX Knock, knock! Flame turns, caught in the act but keeps on eating anyway. FLAME (mulching) What? Rex spots his protein shakes containers and Batter's blood jelly wrappers. REX You're eating all of our food! Batter flies in and notices some of the snacks are all burnt. BATTER And you've torched these! FLAME (Not meaning it) Sowwy! Wanted to add a lil' flavor since they SUCK.
3. 3. Created using Celtx REX No, I'm sorry, Flame. I shouldn't have left the snacks here to tempt you. Now I must carry this burden. Batter scowls and facepalms. He carries Flame and flies out the door. INT. FLAME'S HOUSE - ENTRANCE - DAY Batter drops Flame out the door. BATTER You're gonna run to the supermarket and get our snacks back. FLAME Forget it, frenchie! And you can't kick me out of my own house! BATTER It's not even your house, squatter. Batter SLAMS the door, leaving Flame fuming. The door opens again. BATTER And it's Limey, you flaming yank. The door SLAMS faster. FLAME Oh, you wanna eat something? Eat this! Flame FARTS, his butt lighting up and then leaves. INT. NETHERTON - SUPERMARKET - DAY Flame's pushing a shopping cart and throwing into it all kinds of snacks and junk food. HUMAN SHOPPERS watch him with disgust. Others run away from him or shield their children from Flame. A FLUORESCENT LIGHT falls in front of him. Bird shit splashes on his head. Flame GRUNTS and looks up. The ceiling is cracked, leading all the way to a hole where birds have built nests. Bees and wasps fly around honeycombs. Flame can see the sky and the clouds above.
4. 4. Created using Celtx EXT. DESERT - DAY Flame pushes a cart, wobbling due to the quantity of snacks he's carrying. Flame begins to sweat and breathe rapidly. FLAME I should've stolen an extra cart. He rubs his head and then snack bags fall on him and all over the hatch. The hatch opens. NEON, early 20s, a water drop emerges from the hatch. NEON Flame?! FLAME Bubbles?! NEON NEON! You know it's Neon!! You couldn't leave me well enough alone. Now, you're coming down here to litter my place? FLAME I had no idea this ditch was your place. He looks around. FLAME I guess it makes perfect sense. NEON I'm sure you live in a mansion. FLAME Compared to this... Flame begins to pick up his bags of snacks. Neon looks at them and notices it's full. NEON These aren't trash? FLAME I don't eat trash. NEON It's human trash. What are you doing out here?
5. 5. Created using Celtx FLAME What's it to ya? NEON If you're leaving Netherton there's nothing for us down south. FLAME "Us?" I ain't your sweetheart, bubbles. NEON Grogs. Us grogs. Flame leers at Neon. FLAME What do you mean? NEON It's far worse down south. Grogs live in tent cities or are vagrants. FLAME Sucks for them. NEON Don't worry, it won't be for long now. Their world will end soon. All humans will be gone and grogs can take over. Flame raises an eyebrow. FLAME Really? NEON You can stay here before it happens. Flame doesn't budge. He keeps picking up his snacks. NEON Look, everything between us is... water under the bridge. If you stay out, you could die very soon. FLAME I thought you said nothing would happen to grogs.
6. 6. Created using Celtx NEON No promises. Flame considers as he looks at Netherton in the distance. He picks up his snacks and steps in. FLAME Fine, but I ain't sharing these. INT. NEON'S SHELTER - DAY An underground bunker with stacks and shelves full of snacks, foods, and other essentials. Flame and Neon climb down. Flame looks around. FLAME Not bad. NEON Make yourself at home. Flame BURPS and sits down on the couch, while munching on some Cero bars. Neon reads a book. FLAME Say, how will the world end? NEON In a major catastrophe. FLAME But what? Nuclear war? Acid rain? Explosive diarrhea? NEON You just wait and see. FLAME And then what? What will be left? NEON Nothing human. Just us grogs. FLAME Huh. NEON "Huh?" They treat us like garbage. It's what they deserve. (O.S)
7. 7. Created using Celtx FLAME Their snacks are pretty good, though. Neon shakes his head and throws him a bar. NEON I'm telling you, that's human trash. That's what the grogs'll be eating. Flame looks at the bar: NEON'S NUTRILICIOUS CHOCOBARS with a cringy cute, happy drawing of Neon on the side. NEON Go on. Try it. Flame unwraps the bar and eats it, taking in the whole thing. But it tastes so bad he "flames out" for an instant to a skeleton and spits it out. FLAME They suck! What's in 'em? NEON Chocolate, water and uh, crack. A cuckoo clock goes off. FLAME (spitting) Water?! Neon gets closer to a giant pipe in the wall. NEON Anyway, it's showtime. Neon stretches out into the pipe, turning into a torrent of water that goes through the pipe. Soon, the whole place starts to shake. Flame looks up. INT. SUPERMARKET - NIGHT Rex, Batter and Z walk around the store being watched by HUMANS. Rex is carrying a shopping bag and Z a basket. Z Mr. Flame not here? BATTER Well, he never came home. And I don't
8. 8. Created using Celtx see him here. Let's check back home. REX But we're just getting started. Besides, I need to get some more avocados. The floor begins to shake. Food falls off the shelves. Cans of soda fall off and EXPLODE, spraying Z and Rex. But Z sticks his tongue out to drink from it. They look up, the ceiling is cracking and the fluorescent lights are about to fall on them. The hole that Flame had seen before gets bigger. Birds and bugs all fly away. BATTER Let's get outta here! Rex and Z run to the entrance. HUMANS all rush out of the store, screaming and pushing them and blocking the exit with shopping carts leaving them inside. REX This is no time for an obstacle race! Rex PUNCHES through the glass but it's too late. Z uses his powers to grab some of the rubble as Batter picks Rex and Z and flies out thru the hole in the ceiling. EXT. NETHERTON - NIGHT The streets of Nether are shaking with buildings crumbling down below. BATTER Oh, bloody hell. INT. NEON'S SHELTER - NIGHT Flame holds on to the walls while Neon keeps pushing water into the pipe. FLAME You, you're the one ending the world? NEON Duh!I'm using my water powers on the town's main water pipe to cause an earthquake. Just shut up and enjoy the show.
9. 9. Created using Celtx FLAME I can't. I can't live in a world with you and your shitty snacks! Flame lounges at Neon but he pushes him back. Flame hits one of the shelves and some things fall on him, including a box of popcorn kernels that quickly pops once it hits him square in the head. He looks at the popcorn rolling away and eats some of it. Stares at a box of "Neon snacks". Flame closes his eyes and his flame rises, covering almost the whole shelter. Neon begins to weaken, notices his arms are vaporizing. NEON Stop that! Arggg! You were always a nosy bastard! You're stupid high schooling bullying really did a number on me! FLAME You're exaggerating! NEON Saying "Blowing Bubbles" every time someone asked "Where's the teacher?" got old really quick! Flame LAUGHS out loud. FLAME I'd forgot about that! NEON It's not funny! It's old and lame! But your mocking was only the beginning. I wasn't prepared for what was out there, in Netherton, in the world! But now I am! Now they're gonna pay the ultimate price, starting with you! Neon becomes bigger turning into a wave but Flame keeps vaporizing him. They manage to hold off each other, as if facing an invisible wall between them. But as Flame rages on, he stops his attack. He walks to Neon and looks him in the eye for a moment. He suddenly hugs him. Neon stops his attack but starts to evaporate and looks more and more exhausted. He COUGHS and vapor comes out from his mouth.
10. 10. Created using Celtx NEON I--I can't hold it. FLAME Hold on to this! Flame sticks a bunch of "Neon Chocobars" down Neon's throat. As Neon starts spazzing out, Flame tries to escape but he gets blown out of the bunker in an explosion. DISSOLVE TO: EXT. SUPERMARKET - NIGHT Ruins. The other buildings around look cracked and destroyed. People and grogs are gathered outside looking scared as Flame limps with bruises and battered clothes. FLAME Neon, you bastard! You did it. INT. FLAME'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY Flame comes into his room and sits in his chair without saying a word. Batter, Z and Rex all eat their own snacks. BATTER Told ya he'd be back. REX You won't believe how we got our snacks back... FLAME Yeah yeah. Whatever. Get off. Z jumps in and licks his face. Flame grabs a Cero Bar from Z and unwraps it. Flame locks eyes with him. FLAME Don't even think about it. I had to go through hell and back to get this. Z doesn't care. With his teeth, he takes away the Cero Bar from Flame. Z flies around. Flame tries to catch him as Batter and Rex guffaw as they witness their friends chasing each other.
11. 11. Created using Celtx EXT. FLAME'S HOUSE - NIGHT We fly up as we hear Flame trying to catch Z. Some of the ruined buildings are falling while others are being rebuilt including the supermarket. A sign around it says "Grand Opening WITH ASBESTOS". FADE OUT.
