It's a script, so it's not meant to make a great animation but not necessarily a great read. It didn't pan out and I'm trying to turn it into a short story. So far I'm not having any luck but here's the script as is. If you have any suggestions I'm interested. Act 1 The setting is a city in the near future, after the zombie apocalypse has begun. There are ruined cars and crumbling buildings everywhere. It is almost sunset and the scene is bleak. A woman, Dialla, runs down the street with a horde of zombies following her at a slower pace. The camera cuts back and forth several times, showing the girl running frantically, then the zombies slowly but inevitably making their way toward her, then the girl again, then the zombies. She trips, falls, and gets back up again. We hear voices nearby, out of sight, from a street down. They are oblivious to the woman’s plight. Tim: (said as if trying to get a cat to come down out of a tree by enticing it with kitty treats) Come on, yeah, come here. You want these brains, don’t you? Nice and juicy and delicious. That’s right, just a little closer. Jack: (in the same manner) No, no. His brain’s tiny. You wanna munch on a smart one like me, dontcha? This way, come on. The woman comes around another corner and sees two soldiers in urban gear, Tim and Jack. Tim is holding a crowbar and Jack a baseball bat. The men have a zombie between them and are standing between two piles of dead zombies, much closer to one pile than the other. Tim, the younger one, whacks the zombie that was between them with a crowbar, knocking it onto the closer pile. Tim: Score! Jack: You got lucky this time. Let’s get another one. They turn and head away from Dialla, not seeing her, in search of another zombie. Dialla: Run you guys, there’s an army of zombies coming this way and they’re gonna kill us all. The two soldiers turn and face her, surprised to see another face. They walk toward her and around the corner. Jack: (whistles) That’s a lot of ‘em, Bro’. Why don’t you show ‘em some love and kindness. Tim pulls out two uzis. A brief closeup of each gun shows that the first is engraved with the word “Love” and the second “Kindness.” Jack: Ma’am, you might want to get down. Dialla leaps to the ground. Tim sprays the horde of zombies with gunfire, killing them in seconds. Dialla: Thanks. You saved me. Tim: You’re welcome. By the way, my name’s Tim and my brother’s Jack. Dialla: I’m Dialla. So, what are you two doing anyway? Tim: We call it zombie ball. There’s two piles of zombies, one for me and one for him. Each of us tries to get the most zombies on our pile. Currently I’m winning, 17 to 13. Camera pans to Jack whacking a zombie with his bat onto the other pile. Jack: Make that 17 to 14 now. Tim: (to Jack) Hey! We took a break. Jack: You never said “Time out.” Dialla: Um, if it’s okay, can I travel with you guys. I’m not too good on my own. The brothers look at each other. Jack: You’d have to talk to Sergeant Honeyface about that. C’mon, we’ll take you to her. Jack leads them inside the building they were next to and they come to a room with a closed door. Jack knocks. Rachel: Come in. Dialla walks in and sees a female soldier lying on a bed, on top of the blankets and sheets. The soldier has grayed, sickly skin. Dialla: (gasp) You’re undead. Tim: She prefers the term “Living Impaired.” Rachel: It’s okay. I was bitten and didn’t get the antivirus in my system quite early enough. I still won’t turn into one of them, at least not completely. Dialla: Oh. I’m sorry…Miss Honeyface, I wanted to ask you if- Rachel: (suddenly angry) Why are you calling me Miss Honeyface? (turns to Jack and Tim) Did you tell them my name was Honeyface? Jack: Uh, no… Tim: We- Rachel: I’m sick of your insubordination. You two are going to be court martialed. Tim: Yeah, right. You’ve threatened to have us court martialed 8 times now. Jack: Nine. Remember when we blew up the jeep. Tim: (suddenly excited) Oh, yeah! That was so cool. Rachel: Enough! You two are dismissed. Leave. Now! Jack and Tim retreat from the room, with just a slight bit of fear showing. Rachel: (to Dialla) My name is Sergeant Hodges. And you are? Dialla: Dialla. I’ve been running and hiding for days. I can’t keep this up. If… if you let me tag along, I think I’ll be safe. Rachel: All right. Dialla: That’s it? Rachel: Why not. We’re US Anti-necrosis Squad 113. It’s our job to protect citizens from the undead. It’s our duty to make sure we keep as many civilians safe as we can, and that includes you. (picks a pistol off the nightstand) Here. (tosses it to Dialla). You know how to use it? Dialla: Yes. Thanks. I’ll help you guys fight of those zombies. Rachel: No, that’s for self-defense only. Leave the offense to us. You’re just a civilian. We’re a professional fighting force. Tim: (from outside) Ooh. You splattered his brains all over. Juicy! Rachel: Okay, fine. You can help us fight. Just try not to be as stupid as those two morons. Edited by Cameron, 20 Jan 2009, 08:38 PM.
