Subject: Re: Screenplay Project 2005 - "STARRY POTTARS" Author: Greg [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:21:32 01/18/05 Tue In reply to: Greg 's message, "Screenplay Project 2005 - "STARRY POTTARS"" on 20:36:16 01/01/05 Sat ROCCO I'm gonna make it up to you. STARRY Oh Yeah? How? ROCCO Well for starters, watch this: Rocco sits down at the back terminal and straps himself in. He punches a big red button and a large panel slides away, revealing a round window to the space battle outside. The window has a computer overlay as well, with a targeting system and other data. Finally a hatch below the window opens up and a controller appears. The controller is very-much like that of the Playstation 2. ROCCO Remember "Reptoid Battles?" That game we used to play on Playstation for hours on end? Starry's eyes are lighting up in recognition. STARRY Yeah! ROCCO That was actually a training simulator for this: a Valhavenite X-Class Shuttle defense module. STARRY No wonder I could never find that game in the store! I looked for it everywhere! ROCCO No, it was only produced for Earth-bound Valhavenites to keep sharp on their skills. My parents let me have it in preparation. And I showed you, didn't I? See, I've exposed you to these secrets without you even knowing! The big guns is ready now, and enemy ships begin to appear in the window. Rocco is locked and loaded and begins open-firing on the Zeta crafts. His targeting device follows a particular Zeta ship as it darts back and forth, until finally it connects. BOOM! The ship explodes. STARRY Holy crap that was awesome! The boys give each other a high five. Rocco continues shooting and Mr. Hart and Mr. Pottar zip defensively through the dog fight. It's clear he isn't having much more success though, and Starry is growing frustrated. STARRY Let me try! ROCCO Dude, you can't... STARRY I used to kick your ass at that game, Rocco. I reached level 17. I was your squadron commander in the two-player version. Let me try! ROCCO Well, you were pretty good at that game. I don't remember you kicking my ass, but... STARRY Move over! Starry kicks Rocco out of the chair and grabs the controls. It's not long before he's got a hit. BOOM! Then another. BOOM! And another. BOOM! It's clear Starry has an unusual talent for this. BOOM! Mr. Hart and Mr. Pottar notice their enemy is thinning out. MR. POTTAR Good work, Rocco! Keep it up! Rocco appears behind Mr. Hart and Mr. Pottar at the front of the ship. They are startled to see him. ROCCO It isn't me, guys. The last 6 kills were Starry. He's running the show now! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

STARRY Does the cheat code work in this baby? ROCCO Dude. If we get shot, we're dead. STARRY Alright. Just checkin'. ROCCO is continuedly impressed by STARRY's natural abilities. But lost in the confusion, he notices DANA fidgeting around with the electronics on DAMON. ROCCO (to DANA) You seem calm in the situation. DANA Who me? I just find it easier to tune things out by concentrating on something I know nothing about. ROCCO Heh? DANA Check this out. DANA held two different colored wires in each hand. She smiles and touches the wire. The DAMON sat up and growled. ROCCO Whoa! It's alive! DANA separates the wires and the DAMON slumped to its inactive state once more. MR. HART That is very impressive young lady. MR HART and MR POTTAR are also alarmed by the sudden activation of the DAMON. MR. HART (Cont'd) Do you think you can get him running again? ROCCO Whoa. Why would we want that thing "running again"? He kicked our ass. MR. HART The connection between the cybernetic portal and the ZETA occupying it has been severed. Right now, it is just a shell. If you can get it "running", it will come to life. ROCCO As a what? MR. HART An empty shell, my boy. An empty shell that you can fill. ROCCO I think you're losing it, Old Man. The DAMON growls again. This time, it stands erect and then growls even louder. DANA is ecstatic. DANA This is so cool. I wanna call him something cute. I wanna call him... Chewy or something. ROCCO His name is Damon. We're not calling him Chewy! STARRY Hey, Roc. There's nothing more to shoot over th-- what the hell? DANA Check it out, Star. (To Damon) Damon? Speak. The DAMON growls and DANA is ecstatic again. STARRY (to Rocco) What the hell? ROCCO Just put it on the list of all the things I gotta explain to you. MR POTTAR (OS) Buckle up, everyone! The kids look at the window simultaneously. DANA What-- ROCCO --the--- STARRY --Hell? A view of the Zeta mothership suddenly occupied the view of every window in the ship. The DAMON growls. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
