THE SCENE
Miss Sun has just bumped into
her old PK buddy Henta at the bar.
WHAT WENT WRONG!
CLAUDIA: Will you have a drink
with me?
MARTA (HENTA): Thank you...
but I only drink with Peacekeepers.
MARTA tosses the contents
of her glass at CLAUDIA, but misses, accidentally soaking DAVID
(BRACA), who's standing off to one side.
MARTA: Oh, Jesus! Sorry, David.
DAVID stares oddly, his
head twitching.
CLAUDIA: You ok, David?
DAVID's twitching becomes
jerking.
MARTA: Oh my God! He's having
a seizure!
DAVID falls to the fall,
his legs kicking out as if he were having an epileptic fit. Incongruously,
smoke can be seen curling from his ears, and there is the definite
sound of circuits frying.
CLAUDIA: (backs away) David?
DAVID stops twitching. His
eyes stare into space, as he suddenly sits bolt upright.
MARTA: What the hell?!
DAVID: (his voice is tinny
and emotionless) Error. Five-one-two. Error. Re-boot main systems.
Revert to primary settings. Initiate repair procedures.
CLAUDIA: That's not normal.
DAVID climbs to his feet.
His head swivels around, as if surveying the territory around
him. He does not blink. He sees KEMPER.
KEMPER: (nervously) David?
Why are you looking at me like that?
DAVID: Primary mission: Find
The Kemper. Eliminate The Kemper. Initiate combat mode. (as he
speaks, his arm appears to retract into his shoulder, and a cylindrical,
metallic tube extrudes from it in its place)
KEMPER: Oh shit.
DAVID: (strides towards KEMPER,
the metal tube pointed directly at his head) Eliminate The Kemper.
Eliminate The Kemper. Eliminate The Kemper.
KEMPER: (backs away, stumbling
over a chair and falling onto his behind) Somebody help me!
Suddenly, ROCKNE runs onto
the set and leaps onto DAVID's back. DAVID attempts to throw
him off, but ROCKNE refuses to let go.
ROCKNE: Run, David, it's your
only chance!
But KEMPER has long since
made his escape. ROCKNE and DAVID tussle for a bit, before DAVID
notices KEMPER is no longer on the set. Displaying amazing strength,
he finally manages to hurl ROCKNE from his back. Without so much
as a glance at ROCKNE, DAVID strides purposefully towards the
exit.
DAVID: (halts at the exit,
and turns to face the startled cast and crew) I'll be back. (he
leaves)
