Untitled 4

Two Forces

Screenplay:

Narrator: There were two boys sitting in Kevin's bedroom on a very blustery night. Will and Kevin were sitting in the room, contently tapping the keys of their laptops. Will was writing a very intense story about a bird named Harry, and Kevin was surfing the net.

Kevin: (types in a few things into a search engine; doesn’t work; he gets annoyed. types in one more thing, a huge virus pops up. Kevin glares at the screen closes the laptop angrily, holds up laptop above head Viruses! Viruses! Viruses! I am sick and tired of viruses! Throws laptop down on the ground and jumps up and down on it, then sits back down.)

Will: (looks up) What's the matter Kevin?

Kevin: What, you didn't hear me? A huge virus ruined my computer!

Will: What?

Kevin: (makes motion to take something out of his ears) Take those ear buds out of your ears, and maybe you can hear something!

Will: (takes headphones out)

Kevin: I got a virus.

Will: What?

Kevin: I think you've gotten deaf from all that constant Green Day inside your ears.

Will: Oh, I don't have my glasses on! (Grabs glasses and puts them on.) What did you say again?

Kevin: (waves hand) Oh never mind!

Will: So, what do you wanna do?

Kevin: I don't know, what do you wanna do?

Will: I don't know, what do you wanna do?

Kevin: I don't know...........Are you cold?

Will: Um...umm...I don't know, are you?

Kevin: What do you mean you don't know? Yeah, I am, but I asked you!

Will: Okay, yeah, then I am too!

Kevin: (rolls eyes) I am going to go see where it's coming from. (Gets up and walks to closet door. opens and is knocked over by an enormous breeze.) Whoa!

Will: (crawls over.) Are you okay?!

Kevin: Yeah, I guess it's coming from the closet!

Will: (chuckles)

Kevin: (Slowly bites the bullet and makes his way through the wind and checks out the source: a small hole in the wall. Inside is a Ouija board.) Hey there’s something in here!(Grabs the box and closes the door to the wind tunnel. leaves closet and sits across from Will.) It's an Oyja board.

Will: I know how to work these; I've played them before. (Opens box and pulls out its contents)

Kevin: Is it anything like Jumanji?

Will: No no, not at all.

Kevin: Oh, okay.(puts umbrella in drawer in desk against wall.)

Will: You take this; the planchette and you move it over letters to make sentences. You use those sentences to talk to spirits from beyond...(makes ghostly noises.)

Kevin: (laughs)

Will: So, first we need to say hello.

Kevin: Okay.

Will and Kevin: (They put their hands on the planchette move it around.) H-e-l-l-o.

Kevin: When are they supposed to answer?

Board: (snores.)

Kevin: Why don't you say something, ghosts? (Gets face close to board.)

Board: (continues to snore........then stops when camera goes back to Will.)

Will: The ghosts are apparently sleeping.

Kevin: What should we do now?

Will: Let's try talking to them again.

Kevin: Alright.

Will and Kevin: (put hands on planchette.) A-r-e--y-o-u--t-h-e-r-e?

Board: (No answer)

Kevin: This is boring! Let's do something else!

Will: Wait a sec!

Kevin: (picks up board throws it on the ground and jumps on it, then picks it up and throws it at the wall.)

Will: What did you do that for?

Kevin: I told you I was bored.

Will: Well, what do you wanna do now? (Yawns loudly)

Kevin: Let's hit the hay.

Will: Okay. (Gets up and gets ready for bed.)

Kevin: (Gets up and gets ready for bed, turns off light.) Goodnight.

Will: Goodnight.

Kevin: (Trips over something and falls.)

Will: (sits up.) Are you okay?

Kevin: (Blood's running down his face.) Yeah...(dizzily)(Gets into bed and goes to sleep.)

3 hours later

Narrator: Kevin found himself stuck in a dream. The same thing was repeating in his mind over and over again.(zooms into Kevin's face.)

(Now in dream.)

Sam Bolwick: Kevin! Kevin! Kevin! Keeeeeeviiiinnn!..........(makes weird noises and spits and shakes uncontrollably around the dreamscape. Takes cast off and makes weird face, puts cast back on.)

Kevin: (wakes up in a jolt.) That was a weird dream! (Looks down at the ground and notices the Ouija board is on the ground, neatly set up next to the bed that Will's sleeping on.) What's that doing out? (Goes over to Will and grabs his pillow, and whops him with it.)

Will: (Wakes up quickly.) No! No, not tonight Mr. Depp!

Kevin: Wake up!

Will: What, what?

Kevin: (points to board.) Did you get the Oyja board out?

Will: (looks in that direction and shakes his head.) No, just go to bed...

Kevin: If you did'nt get it out, then who did?

Will: zzzzzzzzzzz...

Kevin: Whatever.(stands up and goes to put it up in the closet; closes door.)

5 minutes later

Board: (Tap, tap, tap.)

Will: zzzzzzzzz- (opens eyes, sits up.) What's that noise?

Board: (tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap cont.)

Will: (gets up and goes to the closet; opens door.) What's this doing in here? (Bends down and picks it up and brings it into the room.)

Planchette: (throws itself out of the closet against the wall.)

Will: (picks it up.) Oh, sorry, Planchette, I can't forget about you! (Sits down and puts board down and asks a question.) A-r-e--y-o-u--t-h-e-r-e?

Board: Moves with Will's hand on planchette to the word "Duh!")

Will: Well, you don't have to be sarcastic!

Board: (Planchette moves to spell the words, "Release me.")

Will: Whoa.

Board: (No! Wait! Release me! NO! Release ME!)

Will: There are two of you? Wow! (Goes to wake Kevin up.)

Kevin: Yeah, I know; I haven't even gotten to sleep yet. It's only been 5 minutes! (Gets up and joins Will at the Oyja board.)

Will: It was tapping at the door and then it said release me. Another ghost said the same thing, and then they started fighting.

Kevin: Are you sure that it's not your imagination?

Will: No, why?

Kevin: Because the Oyja board is not on the ground.

Will: (looks down.) Well, where did it go?

Kevin: Let's just go back to bed, you need your rest and so do I.

Will: But......(stands up.) There it is! It's on the bed.

Kevin: How did it get there?

Will: I don't know. (Grabs it and puts it between him and Kevin.)

Kevin: (yawns) What should we ask them?

Will and Kevin: (puts hand on planchette) Can - you - do - something?

Board: (F-i-r-s-t--t-u-r-n--o-n--t-h-e--l-i-g-h-t-s.)

Will: I think they want us to turn on the lights.(motions toward the switch.)

Kevin: You think? (Gets up and turns lights on.)

Will: (goes to put his glasses on and puts them on upside-down.)

Board: (Spells out "Will and Kevin.")

Will: Hey, Kevin! Look! It spelled our names!

Kevin: Yeah. Uh, your glasses are upside-down...

Will: Oh! No wonder, it looked like you were! (Flips them)

TV: (turns on and makes a loud, blaring fuzzy channel noise.)

Will and Kevin: (turn around.)

Will: Did you do that?

Kevin: No, the remote's over there! (Points to spot next to the TV.)

TV: (turns to threes company theme song.)

Kevin: (sings along)

Will: Stop! Stop. (Grabs remote and turns TV off.)

Kevin: Hey! I was watching that!

Will: Come on! Let's ask them something else!

Kevin: Okay.

Will and Kevin: (hand on planchette) Did--you--do--that?

Board: (Yes.)

Kevin: Let's ask it something else.

Will: Good idea!

Will and Kevin: Can--you--do--something--else?

Sun Ghost: Why, yes. What would you like?

Kevin: Well, I am kinda thirsty. Maybe a glass-

Narrator: The bedroom door was open, but a very strange noise emitted from the downstairs.

Will: What was that?

Kevin: I don't know! I'm going to go check. Excuse me.(to sun ghost.)

Sun Ghost: No problem.

Kevin: (walks to open door, and peers out.) Is anyone there? ----No answer. (Sits back down)

Narrator: Another noise comes from downstairs.

Kevin: Hey! They heard it! You don't need to tell them!

Narraraor: I was just trying to help.

Kevin: Just stop!

Narrarator: Fine!

Will and Kevin: (Lean back and look out the door)

Bloody Ghost: (appears, and then zips back and forth up the stairs, to techno music then appears at top of stairs and closes the door)

Will and Kevin: (Kevin runs ahead and gets to door first, trying it.)

Kevin: It's locked!

Will: How are we gonna get out of here?

Will and Kevin: (they panic.)

Sun Ghost: Hey, guys! Guys!

Will and Kevin: (turn toward board) What?

Sun Ghost: We are going to get something to eat. Kevin, do you want anything?

Kevin: No, that's ok.

Moon Ghost: Will, do you want anything?

Will: I'm fine.

Sun Ghost: Ok, we'll be back in like 10 minutes.

Will and Kevin: Alright.

Sun and Moon Ghost: (disappear and appear in a car at a drive-through in the spirit world.)

Sun Ghost: We'll have 2 double cheeseburgers and an order of fries with a medium cola. And She'll have...what do you want?(to Moon Ghost.)

Moon Ghost: (to Sun Ghost) I'll have a number 23 with a water.

Sun Ghost: Ok. (to lady outside car) She'll have a number 23 with a water.

Lady outside car: So I have 3 double cheeseburgers, an order of fries, a medium cola, and a number 23 with water. Is that all?

Sun Ghost: Yes.

Lady outside car: That'll be $104.74.

Sun Ghost: Gosh darn these fast food joints; they rip you off!

Narrator: The money magically appeared on the board.

Lady outside car: (reaches in and grabs money.) Thank you.(goes out of sight and brings food back. reaches in and puts it next to the board.)

Sun Ghost: Thank you!

10 minutes later

Sun Ghost: (still chewing something) We're back!

Moon Ghost: (still chewing something) Mmm…This is so good!

Kevin: I am getting pretty thirsty; can I have some water now?

Sun Ghost: Oh sure! (Water appears on the desk.)

Kevin: Thanks! (Walks over and takes a sip.)

Will: Is it refreshing?

Kevin: (says something backwards)

Will: What?

Kevin: (Says it again backwards.)

Will: What are you trying to say?

Kevin: (Takes a gulp.) I said, yes it is very refreshing!

Will: Ohhh!

Moon Ghost: There's something for you in the bathroom. Go on!

Will: (gets up and makes his way to the bathroom. Opens door and walks in. Looks in the toilet.)

Moon Ghost: I want you to drink the contents of that toilet bowl.

Will: (makes faces as if he doesn’t want to.) Oh man! Who made this mother load!?

Kevin: Are you really going to do it?

Will: I don't know...(goes into bathroom and grabs a glass sitting on the sink and hovers over the toilet for a second.) I'm...I’m not so sure about this...)

Moon Ghost: You wanna get out of here, don't you?

Will: Yeah, but...

Moon Ghost: Drink it...

Kevin: (still possessed.) Chug! Chug! Chug!

Moon Ghost: Drink it!

Will: Why do I have to drink from the toilet!?

Moon Ghost: Because it's in the SCRIPT!!

Will: Well, okay...(slowly tips it down his throat.)

Kevin: That is so gross! (Turns away)

Sun and Moon Ghosts: (laughs)

Will: (Puts glass down and has a poo moustache.) That wasn't too bad!

Kevin: (has a glove in hand) You sicken me!(goes to Will and slaps his cheek.)

Will: You slapped me! Prepare to duel!

Kevin: Bring it on! (Grabs pillow)

Will: (Grabs pillow)

Will and Kevin: (They have a pillow fight)----(A few minutes later, Will and Kevin fall back on the ground)

Will: (breathing heavily.)

Kevin: (hand still possessed, and he picks up glass of water and tries to stop his hand from spilling it on him, then finally loses and gets wet.)

Will: Are you done messing with our bodies?

Moon Ghost: Maybe, maybe not!

Will: Well, you’d better be!

Sun Ghost: In a moment, the closet door will begin to shake...

Kevin: That's it! We're done listening to the oyja board!

Sun Ghost: Did you just say "oyja?"

Kevin: Yeah, why?

Sun Ghost: It's "Ouija." Not "oyja."

Kevin: Whatever. Tomato/Tomawto!

Sun Ghost: No, not tomato/ tomlkgsfg! It's Ouija, and that's the way you are going to pronounce it from now on!

Kevin: Okay!

(Closet door begins to shake.)

Kevin: (slowly makes his way to the door and turns the knob slowly. Opens slowly.)

Sara: (Stands there for a second then pounces Kevin and knocks him down and chokes him.

Kevin: (pushes her off and grabs an object and wallops her.)

Sara: (is knocked out, and bleeding a little on her forehead.)

Will: You sure showed her! Who is she?

Kevin: I have no idea. What should we do with her?

Will: Let's throw her in the closet.

Kevin: Okay. (Picks her unconscious body up and tosses her in the closet.) That's taken care of.(dusts hands)

Sun Ghost: Do you guys still want to get out of here?

Kevin: Of course we do!

Sun Ghost: Well, we've set up a little scavenger hunt for you.

Will: Oh goodie! A scavenger hunt!

Moon Ghost: You are looking for a shiny yellow key, but first, you shall find a few clues leading to the key.

Sun Ghost: Here is the first clue. (Paper appears on the bed)

Kevin: (gets paper and reads it.) I spin round and round. I make the room you're in comfortable and livable. What am I? What do you think it is?

Will: Maybe...a banana? No, an airplane.

Kevin: A bicycle?

Will: Think about it, it spins and makes the room comfortable; it's a ceiling fan!

Kevin: Yeah! The next clue is on the ceiling fan! (Gets something to stand on and reaches into fan blades; thumb falls off. Blood drips.) Ouch! Ow ow ow! (Reaches down and picks up thumb and puts it back on.) All better!(reaches up and grabs pull chain and turns fan off. Reaches on one of the blades and grabs note.) I am in the back of one of you. Your pants all have a place to put your things that will always be near your rump. Where am I?

Will: The next clue is in a rump roast!

Kevin: No, wait. What's near a rump or butt? Oh! A back pocket! Check mine, and I'll check yours!

Will: Uh...

Kevin: Wait, scratch that, reverse it! (Checks pockets)

Will: (checks pockets)

Kevin: It's not in here! There is no clue in our pockets!

Sun Ghost: Are you sure you checked everyone?

Kevin: Oh yeah, there's still that girl! (Goes into closet and pulls girl out a little ways. checks pocket and finds clue. Shoves her back in as she moans.) I am something you like to drink, often. I am cylindrical and metallic. What am I?

Kevin: A TV? No, a car.

Will: Nope, it's a remote.

Kevin: Wait, its cylindrical and it is something you like to drink. It's a can of soda!

Will: (goes to the refrigerator and grabs only can out of it. opens it and pours out contents in the sink. Out comes a key!) There it is! (Goes to door and tries to open it, but it wouldn't open.)

Kevin: You gave us the wrong key! What's up with that?

Sun Ghost: Hey, I'm a ghost, not a locksmith! You can't expect me to get the right key EVERY time!

Kevin: This was the ONLY time!

Sun Ghost: Ah, tomato, tomawto...

Will: Well, what are we supposed to do? How are we gonna get out of here?

Kevin: Why couldn't you have gotten us the right key? Is it really that hard?

Sun Ghost: Oh shut up...(hand comes out of the board and flips Kevin off.)

Kevin: What! What? You wanna go? (Tries to grab the board, but it's fused to the bed.)

Moon Ghost: Ha ha!

Will: Look, we just want to get out of here, okay?

Sun Ghost: Sorry, you're staying here for all of eternity and you are our new best friends!

Kevin: No! We will not! We want to be free! Free as a bird!(acts like bird and crashes into wall) I'm okay!(falls back)

Will: We're going to get the key out of you two if it’s the last thing we do!

Sun Ghost: Oh, you think so?

Will: Yeah.

Sun Ghost: Alright, there's a riddle hidden somewhere in this room and you need to find it...and solve it...within a period of 90 seconds.

Will and Kevin: (gasps)

Sara: (gasps)

Moon Ghost: And that's not even the worst part! You have to find the riddle, and solve it in 90 seconds while enduring a tremor!

Sun Ghost: If you do not complete this task within the given time, then you will be squished under all the plaster and wood of this house! Needless to say, you won't get out of this room...alive! Muuahahahahah!

Moon Ghost: Muuhahahahahahah!

Sun Ghost: Oh, and we will be using our ghostly powers to shake the bed, throw things around and flicker the lights once or twice for an added effect.

Kevin: We accept your challenge. I Kevin-san, will help my friend, Will-san to get out of this room!

Will: Are you crazy?

Kevin: No, Will. I'm just acting.

Will: We're not doing this! Just let us out!

Kevin: Are you crazy?

Will: No, but we're not going to be able to do it.

Kevin: (serious tone) Will. If you believe in yourself, and you try your hardest and your best, you can do anything! Just believe in yourself, and you can do it. Think of the little engine that could. (gay voice)At first, it couldn't make it up the hill, but with a little magic--

Will: Okay! I get it!(annoyed)

Sun Ghost: Are you ready?

Kevin: Yes.

Sun Ghost: 3, 2, 1, GO! (On go, stuff starts flying, bed begins shaking, camera shakes, lights flicker.)

Will and Kevin: (Look around for paper.)

Kevin: (looks in the drawers throws stuff behind him.)

Will: (Looks under mattress.)

Kevin: (Looks at clock.) We've got 60 seconds!

Sara: (walks over to bed and sits down.)

Will: (Looks under bed.)

Kevin: (Looks in closet.)

Sara: (gets up and stands in the middle of the room, turns back toward camera.)

Kevin: 30 seconds!

Will: I know!

Kevin: Wait, there it is! On that girl's back. (Grabs paper and reads it.) I run up, and my twin runs down, we get tired at the end of the day, and stop running until the next morning. What am I?

Will: Could it be a track star?

Kevin: We only have 20 seconds!

Will: Help me!

Kevin: I can't think under pressure!(turns paper over.) Oh, it's an escalator!

(all commotion stops.)

Sun Ghost: I told you, that we should have erased the answer! (to Moon Ghost.)

Moon Ghost: Well, blah blah blah!

Sun Ghost: Oh, shut up!

Moon Ghost: No, you shut up!

Kevin: If you're through, we'd like our key thank you!

Sun Ghost: Fine, here it is! (Key appears taped to the wall)

Kevin: Thank you! (Takes it and heads to the door.)

Will: (follows)

Board: (disappears)

Will and Kevin: (go downstairs and go to sleep in the living room.)

The next day

Kevin: So, we're meeting Evan at the Ring of Rocks, right?

Will: Yeah, we gotta leave in a few minutes.

Kevin: (puts laptop in its bag and heads out the door with Will)

(Cuts to the parking lot right outside the woods)

Will: We're here!

Will and Kevin: (walk up into the woods and to the Ring of Rocks. Evan is waiting there.)

Evan: It took you long enough!

Kevin: We're sorry. Next time, we'll plan our minutes better, so we can get here on time.(sarcastically)

Evan: That's better! So what do you guys wanna talk about?

Kevin: I don't know.

Evan: Well, I found a bag tied to a tree with a dead animal inside. You wanna see it?

Will: Eww!

Kevin: Sure!

Evan: Ok! (Throws bag to him)

Kevin: You are so freaking nasty! I didn't want you to throw it on me!

Evan: You wanted to see it!

Kevin: (glares at him)

Evan: So, what did you guys do last night?

Kevin: Wouldn't you like to know? (Sarcastically)

Evan: Yeah, that would be why I asked.

Will: I seem to sense a little tension here!

Kevin: Really? How long did that take you to figure out?

Will: Come on guys! Shake hands and apologize.

Kevin: Ok. (Holds out hand)

Evan: (holds out hand and shakes with Kevin.) I'm sorry.

Kevin: I'm sorry too.

Will: See? Now was that so hard?

Kevin: (Takes bag off and bops Evan over the head.) Oh! I am sorry, just a reflex!
Evan: No problem. (A little dazed)

Kevin: Hey, let’s go to the clearing, you know, the one with all the dead trees?

Will: Ok.

Evan: Alright, sounds good!

Will Kevin and Evan: (walks to the clearing)

Kevin: This place is so weird. It’s almost like a graveyard; it’s so quiet.

Will: Yeah.

Evan: (sees a person several yards away from them.) Are you a talker? (Yells)

Will: What’s that?

Kevin: It’s a zombie that can talk. They’re from a story I started recently. It’s called Synthetic Renaissance.

Will: What’s it about?

Kevin: A kid that moves to a new neighborhood and goes to a new school, where a virus outbreak occurs and people start morphing into zombies. You can probably figure out what happens afterwards.

Will: Sounds interesting.

Evan: He’s not answering me! (Yells to boy.) Hey! Are you a talker?

Boy: What? (Yells)

Evan: Are you a talker? (Yells)

Boy: (Runs at them) Nooooooo! (Is next to the three)

Evan: Oh, okay, was just wonderin’

Boy: I do have rabies though! (Bites Evan, then runs away.) La la la la la la la la…

Evan: Oh my God! He bit me!

Will: Oh, tough it out!

Evan: But he bit me!

Kevin: I think we’ve established that, now let’s go!

Evan: Oh, well! (Throws hands up) (Camera pans around clearing.)

Will Kevin and Evan walk out of the clearing.

(Cuts to outside of woods)

Kevin: Let’s go home and eat and then jump on the trampoline.

Evan and Will: Ok.

Will Kevin and Evan: (Walk home.)

Will Kevin and Evan: (Walk onto the deck)

Kevin: That was good!

Evan: Yeah.

Will: Let’s go jump on the trampoline now, even though we just ate, and we’ll probably all hurl later!

Will Kevin and Evan: (Walk down steps and go to trampoline)

10 minutes later

Will Kevin and Evan: (All throw up near trampoline)
