FADE IN: INT. TENT - DAY FRANCIS awakes in a blue tent. Francis rubs his eyes and begins to search the bed of the tent for his phone. FRANCIS (Whispering) What the fuck am I doing? Francis puts on a sweater and opens the zipper to his tent and walks out. EXT. CITY ENCAMPMENT - DAY Francis walks out of his tent and nods at fellow campers who pass by him. Francis begins to walk toward a large gathering of fellow campers. A large fire is at the center. People are dressed in grungy, dirty clothing. Francis walks into JORDAN. FRANCIS Shit! Sorry. Jordan turns around. JORDAN Who the hell?!...Ahhhh Francis, I should have known. Only someone as clumsy as you can get lost among comrades. FRANCIS Ha, yeah, I’m sorry about that. It’s just, it looks like things picked up. JORDAN You damn straight my lad! Blockades on 55th and 3rd worked...We have some stragglers sure to join overnight as well. Francis, our effort is strong! FRANCIS I’m surprised. I really am, Jordan. I haven’t been a part of something... JORDAN And you won’t be a part of anything greater ever in your lifetime! (MORE) (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 2. JORDAN (cont’d) Jordan, what we have here is the beginning of the end and an ending to bring about the commencement. FRANCIS You lost me there. Jordan takes a hold of Francis’ shoulder and thrusts him forward into walking along the embankment of the campground. JORDAN (Mockingly) No surprise there Francis, old boy, old chap. You see those fucktards over there? Jordan points across the embankment to a bunch of men in suits, standing outside an office building, holding briefcases. Francis nods. JORDAN Those fuckers are the reason we stand over here. FRANCIS Because they have jobs and we don’t? JORDAN FRANCIS! No...we stand over here because they don’t represent us. They don’t fight the same fight. Hypocritical bureaucrats, drinking their coffee while they screw the prom queen or the valedictorian. Jordan leads Francis toward another side of the embankment. MAYTE passes by the two walking. Francis and Mayte meet eyes and continue to pass. JORDAN One thing disturbs me comrade... FRANCIS (Quizzically) And what’s that Jordan? JORDAN Your motives...I don’t see the passion behind those eyes Francis. I just see you ogle girls. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 3. FRANCIS I don’t know man, it’s just I haven’t found me. I know it sounds bogus, but... Mayte passes by the two from behind. Mayte turns around while walking and smiles at Francis. She wears a sweatshirt with the local University seal on the front. A twinkle emits from her earring. Francis blushes. FRANCIS I just...just... JORDAN Damn it Francis! You can’t find you, because your cock keeps finding women. Focus! Jordan slaps Francis in the back. Francis coughs. JORDAN You really do need to find yourself brother. Look...You know where the metropolitan is, right? Francis nods. FRANCIS Yes. JORDAN Well get acquainted with the area if you aren’t. Francis sighs. JORDAN We are planning a large nap-in gathering. We’re gonna block that mother f’er to kingdom come! They won’t... FRANCIS See it coming? Who cares? What are you even establishing by sleeping in front of a museum? JORDAN See! This is your problem. Get this head... Jordan slaps Francis’ crotch area causing Jordan to recoil and cover. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 4. JORDAN Out of your head. You got one hell of a brain up there. Use your brain. See you at the Met! Jordan runs away from Francis toward another large group of protesters. The protesters carry large signs with various nonsensical phrases. Francis coughs and spits on the ground. INT. ASSEMBLY HALL - DAY SUPER: "...Meanwhile..." DR. LLOYD FRANKFURTER conducts a conference. Men and women dressed in white lab coats sit down around Lloyd. A large brain is displayed on a projector wall. LLOYD The world was once made up of many mysteries. Evolution, space, electricity, and the Twinkie! The crowd chuckles. LLOYD Yet one thing has been a fail safe in solving these so-called mysteries: science. The crowd begins to raise some noise. LLOYD Science has found ways of quantifying and explaining what was once unexplainable. Biology helped construct the building blocks of understanding Darwin’s evolutionary cycle. Physics put together equations to show us why we fall here and float up there... Dr. Lloyd Frankenfurter points toward the ceiling. An applause is heard in various sections of the crowd. LLOYD What I propose today is a study into the brain. I want to begin the study of the science that has been nearly impossible to understand. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER You’re crazy! (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 5. LLOYD Psychiatrists would fall to their knees, comprehending my plan to attack the hardest science. Yet I stress that I am not intending to do this blindly. I want to use the brain for the good of man and woman. I want to harness it’s power so we can understand how it works. A couple of lab coat-wearing scientists walk out from behind a door with a large table on wheels. The cart is covered by a large table cloth. The crowd gasps and gawks. LLOYD We all know that our brain has electronic wavelengths that are produced and distributed among the different cortex and regions of the brain. I believe the answers to understanding the brain lie in these electronic wavelength. To study these wavelengths we must use them for a practical use. So I propose we use these wavelengths to power... Dr. Frankenfurter removes the table cloth from the rolling cart. Underneath the cloth is a model city that is hooked up to a brain within a fish bowl. LLOYD Our world! ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER Bat-shit crazy! The crowd becomes restless and whispers turn to yells. LLOYD Folks, folks, please calm down...What I propose may be revolutionary, but it by no means calls for the degradation of our own species. Give me a chance... The crowd silences. LLOYD I propose that we use our thoughts to help power our lives. By simply wearing a brain scanner at night, while we sleep, we can charge (MORE) (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 6. LLOYD (cont’d) enough energy into our own house to sustain electricity for the entire week. Dr. Frankenfurter walks around the table and flicks a switch. The display town lights up. LLOYD These simple steps will create a self-sufficient United States of America. No longer will we be dependent on other countries for electrical power. We can loosen the stronghold Canada has over us. A crowd member laughs. LLOYD And with sustained tests and consistent brain scans, us scientists can continue to develop stronger hypothesis’ on the brain. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER How do you suppose the public will feel? LLOYD I would think everyone and anyone would be open to this notion of freeing ourselves from foreign debts. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER And what of people’s thoughts? How do they know their own thoughts are safe from exposure? LLOYD Simple friend, faith! A spark emits from Dr. Frankenfurter’s display and the spark quickly turns into a flame. The display burns and the brain bursts inside the fishbowl. Scientists assist Dr. Frankenfurter with putting out the fire. They use fire extinguishers and fall from the extinguisher fluid. The crowd laughs while some women are heard shrieking. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER I think it’s safe to say that this idea went up in flames. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 7. The crowd laughs as some of them slowly filter out of the assembly hall. LLOYD Folks, folks, please, please stay! You have to keep the faith. Dr. Frankenfurter slips and falls once more. The assembly hall is empty. LLOYD (Mumbling) Just...keep...the faith... FADE OUT. EXT. MUSEUM ENTRANCE - NIGHT A group of the protesters stands outside The Metropolitan Museum. They hold signs and chant songs and phrases. Francis walks up to Jordan. FRANCIS Hell of a turn out you got here Jordan. JORDAN Ahhhh, brother Francis, so glad you could make it. Jordan jumps down from his soapbox and embraces Francis. FRANCIS I figured it might be worth my time. Francis exchanges a look with Mayte who holds a sign that reads "1% Nazi". Mayte has a glow about her. JORDAN This is good to hear comrade. The best is yet to arrive. Come, come! Join me on the front lines. Jordan leads Francis toward the front of the protesters where Mayte stands. The SECURITY GUARD holds back the crowd from entering the museum. JORDAN They don’t want us to win Francis. See, they don’t want us to get in because they know we will squat and we will squat hard. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 8. CROWD SQUAT-WHAT-SQUAT-WHAT-SQUAT! SECURITY GUARD You are not allowed inside! The museum has been closed for over an hour. You must come during our regular hours. To inquire about our open... JORDAN Ha! Bureaucrat! I tell ya Francis, they don’t know our fight. You know it friend; hell, you look like a fighter yourself. FRANCIS Yeah, I guess I have been one... MONTAGE Francis daydreams about his previous efforts within other groups. Francis was involved in a group of political protesters who didn’t believe in a new form of free health care for everyone. He is ridiculed by his parents for this and is cast out of the house. Francis spent time hacking databases of TMZ for an online syndicate. Yet this only alienates him from his friends as he hacks an account at TMZ that belongs to a friend of his. Francis’ friends abandon him. Francis is seen going into a Justin Bieber concert. We only see Francis leave the concert shaking his head. Francis meets Jordan outside the concert as he protests against Bieber not paying enough taxes. Francis then joins his current alliance. BACK TO SCENE FRANCIS One hell of a fighter. JORDAN That’s the spirit Francis! I’ll be back, I need to get this bureaucrat’s badge number...Keep up the fight Francis. SECURITY GUARD Please, please...everyone back up! CROWD HELL NO, WE WON’T GO. HELL NO, WE WON’T GO.
9. Jordan pushes toward the front of the pack and continues to lead the chants. Francis walks slowly, backwards out of the crowd. EXT. BUS STOP - NIGHT Francis waits for the bus. Mayte comes from behind a billboard and walks toward Francis. Francis chokes up. FRANCIS Hello? MAYTE Hey, are you Francis? FRANCIS Ugh, yes, and may I ask who you are? MAYTE My name is Mayte. I’ve seen you around. I work with Jordan on the occupy campaigns. FRANCIS You work for Jordan? MAYTE Not for, with. Mayte winks at Francis. MAYTE I don’t think I could work for him. He’s a bit demanding and a tad out of touch. FRANCIS That’s an understatement. Mayte giggles. MAYTE Anyway, I noticed...well...Jordan noticed you left and we wanted to make sure everything was OK. FRANCIS I’m OK. I just don’t associate well with that bunch. I just don’t know where to find a reason. I’m sorry; I don’t even know you and I’m bothering you with needless information. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 10. MAYTE No, it’s OK. I totally understand you. I only work with Jordan and the protesters because it will show my ability to organize and manage a project. I go to New York University. I’m a business major. FRANCIS I know...I saw your sweatshirt earlier today. MAYTE So that was you?! I thought you were the same one. Well it’s funny you mention the shirt...I "found" myself there. FRANCIS What do you mean? Mayte unzips her jacket to reveal the sweatshirt again. She points to the university seal. MAYTE I wasn’t sure what to do with my life, so I went there. I’ve been finding meaning in some science classes; which surprises the hell out of me because I’m not into that kind of stuff. FRANCIS Then what makes you think that place is for me? No offense, but you barely know me. MAYTE You have to have more faith than that Francis. There is a professor there, Dr. Lloyd Frankenfurter. He’s a great guy and knows a lot about nothing. It just looks like you want something to hold onto and own. I can’t guarantee anything with Jordan and his movement, but I can at least tell you that you have a chance with Frankenfurter. FRANCIS Well, it can’t hurt...I still don’t get why you want to help me though. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 11. MAYTE We all want to help you Francis...you just need to help yourself first... Mayte zips her jacket back up and throws her hoodie over her head. As she turns her head, a twinkle emits from her eye. Mayte looks both ways before crossing the street back toward the museum. MAYTE Bye! See you on campus! Mayte runs off as Francis stands at the bus station silent. Francis waves back at Mayte as she disappears from sight. EXT. CAR - DAY Dr. Frankenfurter gets in his 1994 Toyota Corolla. The car is missing one of it’s front head lights. The bumper of the car is littered with bumper stickers that have scientific messages on them. Dr. Frankenfurter attempts to back out of his driveway and is cut off by a speeding, larger car. Frankenfurter is then trying to pull out of his street onto the main route where he is once again cut off by a larger vehicle... INT. TENT - DAY Francis wakes up again in his tent. He brushes his teeth with an old straw from a soda cup. Francis attempts to put on deodorant, but the last part of the stick falls out. Francis uses the piece of deodorant and rubs it in on his body. Francis unzips his tent and walks out... INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY Dr. Frankenfurter waits in line. He stands next in line. A CLERK takes an order from an OLD LADY in front of Dr. Frankenfurter. The clerk stares at the wall while talking. CLERK What’ll it be? OLD LADY What was that dear? CLERK What’ll it be? OLD LADY I’m terribly sorry darling. I’m hard of hearing. Could you say that again? (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 12. CLERK Whaddya want?! OLD LADY Well, I thought I was going to go with my normal tea today... Dr. Frankenfurter blinks uncontrollably. A couple behind Frankenfurter sighs and checks their watches. OLD LADY But I just thought I’d try something crazy...I’ll have the ice tea. The couples sighs again. CLERK Next! LLOYD Could I please have a hot, regular coffee? CLERK We’re out. LLOYD Excuse me? CLERK You hard of hearing too? I said we are out...Next! Dr. Frankenfurter is pushed aside by the couple waiting behind him. EXT. SIDEWALK - DAY Francis walks on the sidewalk. Francis moves around other families and people going about their business. Francis stops at a fruit stand and approaches the VENDOR. FRANCIS What’s good today? VENDOR Everything. FRANCIS I’ll have the orange then. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 13. Francis places his change on the vendor’s stall. The vendor throws the orange at Francis who fumbles the orange to the ground. He picks it up and blows it off with his breath. Francis walks away from the stall. Francis takes a bite of the orange to reveal a dried out, seedy orange. Francis spits out the seeds and throws the orange away after only a few bites. Francis stops a second and stares at the sign in front of him. INSERT - SIGN: "NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, La Vida Loca" Francis spits out a final seed and runs up the steps into the building before him. INT. OFFICE - DAY Dr. Frankenfurter prepares his class slides. The doctor places nerdy phrases together to form acronyms for elements on the periodic table. LLOYD (Giggling) Well if this doesn’t get there attention; I don’t know what will! The Doctor continues to laugh as he looks at his watch. LLOYD Jinkies! I’m going to be late! Frankenfurter then throws all of his papers and briefcase onto a rolling cart. He throws his jacket on backwards and runs out the door nearly tripping on his own coat. INT. HALLWAY ENTRANCE - DAY Francis swings open the door and hits a nerdy looking young female in the face with the opening door. The slam makes the young female drop all of her papers, including her glasses. FRANCIS Oops! The girl picks up her dropped material and scurries off, giving Francis a sneer. INT. HALLWAY - DAY Frankenfurter continues to pile his things together as he stumbles out of his office and into the hall that is now packed with more students and scientists than before. Frankenfurter inches along as he makes contact with student’s and professor’s shoulders. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 14. LLOYD Scuse me...pardon...can I, can I...excuse me... A student wearing a large hooded sweatshirt who is in front of Frankenfurter quickly turns around. HOODED STUDENT Funky butt-lovin’! What is your deal man?!?! LLOYD Funky...butt-lovin’? HOODED STUDENT You’re crampin’ my style gramps. One at a freakin’ time...jeez! Frankenfurter dips his head after the interaction, allowing more shoulders to continue to dig into him as he shuffles past everyone. INT. HALLWAY - DAY Francis walks down the hallway, looking at each door and comparing it with a list of numbers he has written on a sheet of paper. The hallway begins to grow quiet and Francis looks down at his watch. FRANCIS (muttering) Oh no...not on the first day... Francis then lifts his pants up and begins to sprint toward the end of the corridor. INT. CLOSET - DAY Frankenfurter collects himself and his breath as he takes a hit from his inhaler. The doctor is sweating and quickly checks his watch. LLOYD JINKIES! Frankenfurter frantically throws his papers back together and attempts to turn the knob to the closet door. The knob breaks off. LLOYD Fran-ZOINKS!!!
15. Frankenfurter twists and turns, but does not escape his situation. Frankenfurter then dips his shoulder into the door and puts all his weight behind one final thrust. INT. HALLWAY - DAY Frankenfurter’s closet door swings violently open as Francis rounds the corner running directly into the swinging door. LLOYD Oh my! Sorry about that! Ugh, oh my! Francis checks his nose with the back of his hand. A trickle of blood flows from his nose. LLOYD You’re bleeding my child! How terrible of a person you must think I am. Francis continues to hold his nose up with a tissue the doctor has given him. FRANCIS It’s alright...honestly, I’m OK. It’s just a little blood. LLOYD And on the bright side: it proves that you are a living, breathing, thinking, human being! Francis chuckles for a second as he continues to stare up at the ceiling. FRANCIS I guess I had it coming anyway. Karma works in magical ways. Frankenfurter attempts to wipe away a drop of blood that flows down Francis’ cheek. FRANCIS Really, don’t worry about it. I shouldn’t even be here right now. I mean, I belong here, but... LLOYD It’s OK my child. You need not explain yourself. Hurry along, I’m sure your professor is waiting on you. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 16. FRANCIS Like I was saying, don’t worry, I’m not here for the education. I’m just attending some whack job’s class to find out about this girl I noticed the other day. LLOYD Oh? FRANCIS Yeah, I’m probably wasting my time, but who knows what’ll happen. I shouldn’t be bothering you with my life anyway... Francis checks his watch one more time. FRANCIS I’m late as is. I better jump into a worm hole or something! LLOYD I wouldn’t recommend it. Your body will be ripped into tiny molecules and your life experiences are played out before you in cataclysmic explosion. FRANCIS What the...? LLOYD Hurry along now! Frankenfurter puts the books that Francis has dropped back into his hands and pushes the young gentlemen in the direction of the class rooms. Frankenfurter shakes his head and smiles at the same time. INT. CLASSROOM - DAY Francis sits in a stuffy classroom and looks around quickly. Francis is looking for someone. Students filter in through the classroom doors. Francis unzips his backpack and pulls out a letter that is inside a business envelope. INSERT - "LETTER" "Our Dearest Child, We are writing to you because we have been expressing the deepest concern for your well being..." Francis sighs and rolls his eyes. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 17. INSERT - "LETTER" "We keep sending you money from the table where we eat our bread. Yet, we hear nothing. We see nothing. We have nothing..." Francis props his left leg up on the chair in front of him. INSERT - "LETTER" "You may have escaped this house, but you will never escape your blood Francis. You have left us with no recourse. We are willing to cut your funds if you continue on your wayward path. We love you Francis; don’t make us do this." Francis is cut off from reading his letter as a giant notebook lands on top of the letter that is in his lap. Mayte smiles at Francis and he stares at a globe pendent that hangs from her neck on a chain. MAYTE I had faith you would show your face around these parts! Mayte swings her arm around like a pioneer of the old West. MAYTE You are going to LOVE the good Doctor! He’s a little out there, but he means well. FRANCIS If he’s anything like the doofus I ran into earlier then I’m in for a treat... At this moment Dr. Frankenfurter bursts through the door with his books and they go flying about the room as he falls to his knees. The class giggles as Frankenfurter haphazardly picks up his materials. LLOYD Now, class...class...calm down now! Nothing you haven’t seen before. Frankenfurter glances over the classroom as he stacks his books on the professor’s table. LLOYD Though to those of you that are new to my course, I may seem like a "whack job." (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 18. Frankenfurter raises his eyebrow in Francis’ direction. Francis sinks down in his chair and slowly covers his face with his parent’s letter. Mayte notices Francis’ embarrassment and smiles. LLOYD You will come to understand the method of my madness. Now, where did we leave off? Francis shows his face again as students begin to look down at their notebooks and write with pens and pencils. Francis looks at Mayte who is sitting next to him. He stares at her hair and the globe-like pendent she is wearing. LLOYD Mr. Blacon? Francis’ hand twitches as he blinks slowly, presumably day dreaming. Francis’ eyes follow Mayte’s hair as it streaks down her white blouse. LLOYD Francis?! Francis begins to reach out slowly from his chair for Mayte. His eyes have stopped at her waist and he now reaches for her shoulder. LLOYD FRANCIS BLACON! FRANCIS Boobs! The class collectively laughs and chuckles. LLOYD Perhaps you could enlighten me with your theory on anatomy after class? For now I’d like to finish on the different triggers that neurons can set off. We’ll speak after class. Some members of the class continue to chuckle. Mayte looks back at Francis and taunts him by pursing her lips together.
19. INT. DOOR - DAY The students are exiting the class and being handed a pamphlet by Dr. Frankenfurter. Mayte is second to last to leave. LLOYD Your input was valued as always Mayte! MAYTE Thanks Doc! Mayte looks back at Francis, smiles, and then continues to skip off into the hallway. Francis moves toward the door to grab a pamphlet when Frankenfurter cuts Francis off with his arm across the door exit. LLOYD Mr. Blacon...I think our frontal cortex was in another reality today. Would I be correct in assuming this? You rushed around the hallways. Couldn’t focus in class. And you had nothing to offer for conversation. Looks like someone came unprepared. FRANCIS Same could be said for you. LLOYD Very funny, young man. Perhaps you should consider this... Frankenfurter shoves a green flier into the hands and stomach of Francis. Francis recoils and looks down at the paper as the Doctor gently nudges Francis out of the door. EXT. DOOR - DAY Francis unwraps the paper in front of him unveil the flier Frankenfurter has handed him. INSERT - "FLIER" Is your medulla oblongata out of whack? Does the hippocampus forget? Never fear! The good Doctor is here! Office hours are right after class for two hours. Francis looks up to see the steady flow of students fly by him. Francis "sighs" and shrugs his shoulders as he watches Mayte bounce by. Mayte walks alone and glows.
20. INT. OFFICE - DAY Frankenfurter returns to his office. An envelope is left on his door as he enters. He pulls the manila envelope off the door and begins to open it as he sits down in his electrocution themed office chair. Frankenfurter reads the note aloud. LLOYD To Whom This May Concern...Well I assume it concerns me?...It has come to our attention that the graduation rate at our prestigious University has diminished due to student’s participation in your class. Frankenfurter gets up from his chair and walks over to his mock setup of a town from his previous presentation.He rests his elbow on the top of the brain dome, as he reads. His elbow slips off when he reads the words "your class". LLOYD Thus, we have come to the conclusion that in order to correct this issue we will be monitoring the progress of two, randomly selected students in your current course. INT. EXECUTIVE ROOM - NIGHT SUPER: "Last Night" A group of older men and women dressed in business suits and apparel sit around a large, dark oak business table. Packets with student’s name and photographs are strewn across the table. The OLDER MAN at the end of the table slams his middle finger down on one of the photographs. It is a photograph of Francis. OLDER MAN This nitwit just joined last night. He’ll be perfect for the Doctor. He cares so much about this course that he just enrolled before the enrollment deadline. The group of older men and women begin to snicker as they twiddle their thumbs. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 21. OLDER MAN I need two of them to get him fired though. This boy won’t be enough. The group of older men and women all stop what they are doing and immediately look down at the papers in front of them. They rush through the pages feverishly, but no one looks back up. The older man glances over a picture of Mayte and looks to the right at her biography. OLDER MAN Uh huh, here we are. She’ll do just fine...being from Parts Unknown...HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The group of older men and women look around at each other and then begin to laugh along with the older man. A legal book is thrown on the table which creates a loud thud. INT. OFFICE - DAY Doctor Frankenfurter moves toward his desk as he continues to read out loud. LLOYD The students will be accessed for their comprehension of the subject and their application of the subject to the real world. If you are not Doctor Frankenfurter, then please disregard everything you have just read...Have a nice day? Frankenfurter is then interrupted by his door opening up suddenly. Francis enters the Doctor’s office with both his parents note and the Doctor’s invitation for free tutoring during office hours. FRANCIS Sooo, I gave it some thought. I could use some help. LLOYD "THOUGHT!" Ah, my friend, you are already beginning to get it. Wonderful! Where should we begin? FRANCIS Well how about you calm down for a minute and tell me what this whole thing is about man. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 22. LLOYD Life? It’s the most wondrous... FRANCIS NO! What’s this whole tutor thing entail? I gotta... Francis looks down at this hand holding the note from his parents. FRANCIS I gotta improve things...and I just think you seem to be the only one willing to give me a shot. I got some friends, but they don’t help drive me. We just end up smoking pot and sitting in front of institutional buildings. LLOYD Well if drive is what you need; I shall be the inertia to set it forth! FLASHBACK - Scenes from Frankenfurter’s morning are shown. All the moments in which he is bossed around play in chronological order. His car is cut off twice. He is ignored in line. People bump into him without care. LLOYD At least I hope I can. Francis and Frankenfurter both share a nervous laugh. The Doctor extends his hand to Francis. Francis looks at the Doctor’s hand, then extends his hand as the two shake hands. EXT. CITY ENCAMPMENT - NIGHT The protesting group is quiet as campfires sizzle in the dark. Francis is seen moving through the tightly packed group of settlers. Francis bumps into an occasional person, followed by a "oops, sorry, or pardon me". Francis has all of his possessions bundled up on his backpack. Francis walks toward his tent. Jordan stands in front of his tent with his arms crossed. FRANCIS Heyyy, Jordan. Nice to see you. JORDAN Don’t "heyyy" me. What’s this? What’s on your back? What the hell are you doing?! (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 23. FRANCIS Well... JORDAN Don’t "well" me. FRANCIS Dude, are you serious? JORDAN Sorry, explain yourself traitor. FRANCIS Traitor? Seriously? Jordan nods his head while biting his inner lip. FRANCIS I went to the University. I found a couple classes I like and I even found a professor who seems pretty cool...even though he’s a nerd. Francis laughs to himself. FRANCIS I know I’ve said this before, but it just feels right there. This time I think it’s the real thing too. I even found that same girl I like there too. JORDAN I should have known it! Your god damn Willy brought you there! You don’t see it do you? FRANCIS What? JORDAN Every time you make some life decision it’s because of some broad. We have a real thing going here. A real fight that you should be a part of! FRANCIS A fight? All we do is camp out in front of buildings. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 24. JORDAN How dare you make light of the movement! I should have known this was happening when that girl mysteriously disappeared from the camp and a bunch of the others saw you at the campus. FRANCIS Are you keeping track of me? JORDAN Uh, no. You can’t hide from us because we are everywhere. You really don’t realize how big this thing is... Francis begins to talk down his tent in a hurry. A piece of paper falls out of Francis’ backpack and lands in bush next to his tent. JORDAN You are oblivious and will continue to stray in life. In fact, I see you coming back to me soon enough. Comrade, you’ll be sniffling like a dog when you come back to me. Francis throws the rolled up tent onto his back. JORDAN You will regret this day, friend. FRANCIS Don’t call me friend. As Jordan extends his hand, Francis look at as he did when he looked at Doctor Frankenfurter’s hand. Francis turns his back to the extended hand and walks away as Jordan flashes a smile across his face. EXT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - NIGHT The Doctor drives his car into the driveway of his house. As the doctor puts his car into park, he twists his head to the front door of his house. A LAWYER in a black trench coat stands at the Doctor’s front door. The Doctor grabs his briefcase and glasses and walks out of the car door, toward the man in the black trench coat. The man in the jacket approaches the Doctor as he moves toward the front door. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 25. LAWYER Doctor Frankenfurter? LLOYD Yes? LAWYER It is my unfortunate duty to present you with these papers. LLOYD What are these? Frankenfurter rushes through the pages as it suddenly begins to rain with a clap of thunder. The lawyer immediately takes out an umbrella that covers the lawyer’s head. LAWYER Those papers acknowledge that you have been given an eviction notice that will take place in three months if you do not make up your previous payments in rent. LLOYD But I work at the University, I’m tenured...I’m good for it. Have some faith! LAWYER Faith is not a part of my job description Mr...excuse me, Doctor Frankenfurter. Furthermore. The Doctor tries to step underneath the umbrella with the lawyer in order to stay out of the rain. The lawyer makes jerky movements to disallow the Doctor from being safe from the rain. The Doctor places his hand on the umbrella handle and moves it under him. The lawyer grabs hold with both hands and jerks the umbrella back under him solely. LAWYER FURTHERMORE...You’re tenure does not matter to the housing board. You’re timely payments, however, do matter. You have three months. Goodnight Mr. The lawyer moves away from Doctor Frankenfurter and paces back to his car, which sits across the street. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 26. LLOYD (muttering) That’s Doctor to you. LAWYER Excuse me?! LLOYD Four months, got it! LAWYER THREE MONTHS!!! The lawyer shakes his head and shakes off his umbrella, before slamming the door to his car and skidding off into the night. The Doctor looks down at the eviction letter as rain droplets begin to blotch the ink on the letter. A screeching taxi stops in front of the Doctor’s house. The Doctor looks up from the letter to see Francis arguing with the taxi driver. Francis holds his hands up as the taxi driver flicks off Francis and speeds away. LLOYD Francis? Is that you?! FRANCIS Hey doc! Ugh, I know this sounds sudden, but I need a place to stay. I was kind of kicked out of my...house... LLOYD Come here son! We must get you out of the rain; come in, come in! The Doctor grabs one of Francis’ two bags, grabs Francis by the shoulder, and leads him into the house. INT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - NIGHT Francis drops his bag off at the entrance of the Doctor’s house. Upon the entrance various science awards are visible. Chalkboards line the entrance to the Doctor’s house and on them are sketches of different parts of the human brain with illegible writing. Francis’ jaw drops as he looks at the Doctor’s writing. LLOYD Twenty years of research. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 27. FRANCIS All of this? Francis points to the walls. LLOYD Every last cortex. Every last equation. Every piece of it. Our class, my entire life’s work. This is what I’ve been working on, but now it will be what WE are working on. FRANCIS Don’t think you can put my brain on that chalkboard. LLOYD I would never dream of it. Alas, you point out the biggest flaw in my research. FRANCIS Not enough chalkboard? I think we can look past that. LLOYD No! The brains, the brains! FRANCIS Step away Doc; I ain’t afraid of killin’ no zombies! Doctor Frankenfurter chuckles to himself. LLOYD No, no, no, no. I don’t intend to operate on you. But one issue that has always risen in my research is the ability to procure a test subject that is usable. Most of my research has been done on brains from the deceased. FRANCIS Thank goodness! LLOYD The problem is I get them too dead. FRANCIS Too dead? I don’t follow. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 28. LLOYD Most of our research involves the electrons shooting in the brain. We can’t replicate this action with a brain from a body that has been deceased over twenty-four hours. Considering general scientific guidelines and laws; my research is nearly impossible. FRANCIS Don’t look at me. I’m not killing anyone for you. And like I said, my brain is off limits! LLOYD I wouldn’t even dare Francis. The Doctor laughs, but suddenly his gentle laughs turn to a gigantic sigh. LLOYD EVEN if we had a brain to work with...I don’t have the money to continue forth... Francis suddenly stands up from the Doctor’s chair which he was sitting in. FRANCIS Listen up! I didn’t sign up for this tutoring bull crap just so I could hear you bitch and moan. LLOYD Bitch and moan? FRANCIS Yeah, that’s all I’ve heard ever since I got in here. Bitch and moan. Past research, no money, lost my tampons. Bitch and moan. LLOYD What?! FRANCIS Are you going to break in with me or are you going to continue to keep that sand in your vagina? (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 29. LLOYD Sand in my vagina? Break in?! Francis pulls out a key from his pocket. The key shines with the lights inside the Doctor’s house. FRANCIS All we could ever need for our experiments, all of the resources possible...one key to rule them all. LLOYD We can’t break in. Where’d you get that?! FRANCIS Never mind where I got it. Let’s get this thing into action. I don’t have much time. LLOYD I know money is scarce, but there is no reason to commit a crime. I have a reputation. FRANCIS Pf ft, what reputation? Francis chuckles as the Doctor goes into a trance. FLASHBACK - The events of the day are once again flashed before the Doctor’s eyes. He sees his day in chronological order with the cars, cashiers, and students taking advantage of him. As Francis’ chuckle ends he begins to tremble as he sees the Doctor’s eyes widen and his nostrils flare. FRANCIS D-d-d-d...doc? LLOYD GET IN THE CAR! EXT. CITY ENCAMPMENT - NIGHT Jordan continues to pace back and forth in front of the area that used to be where Francis’ tent was. Jordan kicks some stones. One of the stones skips off the sidewalk and ricochet’s into a girl’s face. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 30. GIRL What the fuck?! Jordan gasps and immediately ducks down to the ground. He army crawls to the bush next to where the tent stood. A white letter sticks out at the bottom of the bush right in front of Jordan. JORDAN And what do we have here...? Jordan reads the note to himself. The girl hit by the stone gets up and begins looking for the source of the stone. GIRL Where the fuck did it come from? Jordan begins to army roll to the other side of the bush. As he finishes reading the letter, he laughs as he rolls the letter into his jacket pocket. Jordan rolls right onto the girl’s shoe. GIRL What the? Jordan gets up and brushes himself off. JORDAN As you were comrade. Carry on. Jordan smiles at the girl as he walks away from her. JORDAN And now to set the bait... EXT. SCIENCE LABS - NIGHT A car pulls into an empty parking lot next to the University’s science labs. Doctor Frankenfurter and Francis get out of the car. Both men are wearing black sweatpants and black shirts as well as carrying a black backpack. LLOYD I’m having second thoughts. FRANCIS I don’t wanna hear it. You aren’t fizzling out on me. LLOYD You still haven’t told me where you got the key. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 31. FRANCIS Let’s just say I got it from someone I can trust. She’s good for it. Francis lets the key dangle from it’s charm pendent. The charm at the other end is similar to the globe that Mayte wears. LLOYD We have to be careful. I can’t risk my job; it’s the only thing keeping me in my house. FRANCIS What? LLOYD Nothing; just be careful. FRANCIS Well, that’s why I brought these along. Francis tosses Frankenfurter a bag that contains Power Ranger masks. LLOYD This is no time for games Francis! Francis slaps Frankenfurter on the back of his head with the bag of masks. FRANCIS Put it on! It’s to conceal our identity; not have fun. Francis and Frankenfurter crouch as they power walk toward the front door of the science labs. Frankenfurter continuously checks behind him and Francis as Francis thrusts the key into the door. Francis jiggles the key in the slot. LLOYD Come on, come on, hurry. I have a bad feeling about this. FRANCIS A bad feeling about the sand in the vagina? I’d imagine; that’s really gotta hurt.
32. Frankenfurter pushes Francis into the door. This movement jars the door open and both men fall into the inside of the door. INT. SCIENCE LABS - NIGHT FRANCIS Get off me! LLOYD Sorry, sorry, sorry. FRANCIS See this is your problem; don’t be sorry. You may have scared the living shit out of me, but you got us in. LLOYD I don’t follow. FRANCIS Exactly! Don’t follow. You are smart enough to be leading this entire University. Stop being so god damn timid and step up for yourself man. LLOYD I don’t see how this will help us. A flashlight is scene off in the building next to the science labs. Francis pushes the Doctor and himself to the ground. Francis puts his finger up to his mouth. FRANCIS Stay low! We better get what we need before they find out about our after hours study session. Frankenfurter nods his head and the two army crawl into the stairwell. INT. STAIRWELL - NIGHT Francis and the Doctor both gets up from their crawling position and begin climbing the stairs. LLOYD Maybe this is a bit too forward and a few hours too late, but why are you helping me anyway? Why did you want the tutoring in the first place? (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 33. Frankenfurter stops walking up the stairs and hold Francis back by the shoulder. LLOYD You thought I was a "quack" and then all of a sudden you believe my every word. What’s up? Francis looks down at the ground. FRANCIS I guess I haven’t been frank with you. LLOYD No, you haven’t been Frank, you’ve been Francis. The Doctor chuckles to himself again as Francis shakes his head. FRANCIS Honestly I didn’t see myself here either, but then again I never see myself wherever I end up. Just something has been leading me this way and been telling me it’s the right thing. LLOYD Where were you before? FRANCIS Before I joined the University. The Doctor pushes Francis to the ground as a flashlight passes across the window that faces the outside of the stairwell. The Doctor covers Francis’ mouth as he yelps. Francis bites down on his lip and nods his head. The two men slowly creep up the stairs and enter the third floor. INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT The Doctor and Francis make their way through the hallway by using SWAT team gestures as they enter and exit corridors. The Doctor trips over himself and his Power Ranger mask chips on the bottom corner. Francis helps the Doctor up from the friend and readjusts his mask for him. The Doctor uses his personal key to open the door to his office. The two men enter the office.
34. INT. OFFICE - NIGHT Francis and Frankenfurter rush into the room and Frankenfurter locks the door behind them. Both men remove their Power Ranger masks. FRANCIS That was close. LLOYD Too close. FRANCIS What’s THIS?! Francis points to the mock city setup that is still in the Doctor’s office. LLOYD What? That? Huh, that’s the baby that’s going to give birth to our research. FRANCIS Why is it burnt around the edges? LLOYD Ahhh, yes, that. Well that’s a long story. FRANCIS I’d say this is your classic case of dreams going up in flames. And I’d suspect... Francis leans in toward the edge of the display where no burn marks are present. FRANCIS You put a wee bit too much polyurethane. Frankenfurter puts his hands on his hips and sighs as Francis walks around the office. The walls have more of the Doctor’s sketches and drawings of the human brain. Francis scratches his chin. FRANCIS It’s all starting to make sense...your case that is. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 35. LLOYD My case? What do you mean my case? FRANCIS Your life mission, this brain thing. It makes sense to me; I don’t know how, but it makes sense. LLOYD Pray tell me, what is my case? Francis turns back around, facing the Doctor. Francis takes two steps forward. FRANCIS So you grow up to be some scientist who happens to love the brain. And you’re smart...you’re too smart. Francis begins to pace back and forth in room while he talks. Frankenfurter twists his hair, listening to Francis. FRANCIS In fact you are so smart that your colleagues don’t believe you. This thing over here is what you spend your life on and the others can’t stand it. LLOYD I’m honored kid, but I think you’re over exaggerating... FRANCIS Ohhh, shut up! Learn how to take a compliment for once. Well, maybe you really aren’t that smart. But the thing you got on that table there, it’s smart, but it’s beyond them. You need me Doc. You need me to wake these nerd-lingers up. LLOYD Nerd-lingers? FRANCIS Nerd-lingers Doc, nerd-lingers. LLOYD As much as I envy your passion son, I just can’t mustard the courage to bring this disaster back to the public. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 36. FRANCIS What makes it so bad? What does it do? The Doctor walks over to the display and turns a light on it. Francis gets close to Frankenfurter as Frankenfurter points at spots on the display. LLOYD The idea was fairly simple. We would use our brain power to feed the power in the town. The Doctor looks at Francis. Francis laughs. LLOYD Why do you laugh?! It’s possible, it really is! FRANCIS Doc, doc...haha, I’m sorry, it’s just, power, our brains, bahahaha. Half of the people I camped with would be lucky to power a Christmas light. LLOYD It was going to be a collective effort. Towns would be self-sufficient. I found out that the brain was programmable. The Doctor and Francis move from the fake display to a work bench where more diagrams of the brain are showing. LLOYD The brain has these three sections... The Doctor points to three particular points on the piece of paper with the brain. LLOYD These three sections, when stimulated with the proper electronic wavelength have the ability to be programmed. FRANCIS Wait, what? Are you telling me I could make you watch Jersey Shore? (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 37. LLOYD All two, brain numbing seasons. Francis shivers. LLOYD I was able to connect my computer to the electrical device and sent brain messages to a rat. I was able to get a rat to learn algebra. Francis is shown footage from an old time film reel. A rat has a small metal hat on. The rat tries to run through a maze and does not make it through. Anonymous hands from a lab coat are shown typing on a keyboard. The rat twitches and then makes it through the maze in one run. The rat is then sitting in a small seat. The same hands draw on a miniature chalkboard. The rat pushes pieces of rice krispies around the room. The number does not equal the same number on the board. The hands are shown typing on the keyboard again. The rat then moves the rice krispies again; the number is the same. FRANCIS Holy molly, Angelina Jolie. LLOYD There is more. Footage is shown of the rat dribbling a miniature basketball. The rat runs a fast break and dunks the ball. LLOYD I was on the cusp of something. I knew brain control would be frowned upon, so I used my information and produced a hypothesis to use the software in a reverse fashion. Have the electronic wavelengths come back to be harnessed into power. FRANCIS I have no idea how the hell you did that, but that was the coolest thing since Nintendo 64 came out in multiple colors. The Doctor smacks Francis in the back of the head. A creaking door is heard. The Doctor and Francis looks around frantically. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 38. FRANCIS Ugh, did you hear that? LLOYD Yeah, let’s get what we need and go. The two tip toe out of the Doctor’s office. INT. LABORATORY - NIGHT Francis and the Doctor burst into the science laboratory. Both men fall to the ground and get up holding a pretend gun. LLOYD You OK? FRANCIS Yeah, you see anyone? LLOYD We’re clear. Francis moves to one side of the room while the Doctor heads toward the other side. Both men begin putting various equipment from the room into their black backpacks. Francis finds a large beaker and his eyes widen. The Doctor begins to wrap rubber tubing around his waist. He ties the rubber into a knot. Francis finds a random powdery substance and sweeps it into a pouch in the bag. Francis shrugs as some of it gets on the floor. LLOYD You good Francis? FRANCIS Think so. LLOYD You find any subject matter? FRANCIS Subject matter? LLOYD Test subjects. FRANCIS What?! (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 39. LLOYD Brains, BRAINS! Did you find any freaking brains. FRANCIS I already told you, I ain’t no zombie. The Doctor sighs as Francis flashes a smile and winks at the Doctor. FRANCIS Nothin’ Doc. This place is bone dry. LLOYD There has got to be something! The door to the laboratory swings open suddenly. A UNIVERSITY GUARD in a blue suit charges in. The university guard holds up a gun. The Doctor and Francis immediately put their Power Ranger masks back on. UNIVERSITY GUARD Alright, everyone on the ground now! Both men raise their hands up high. UNIVERSITY GUARD Zordon won’t be saving you this time you pesky rangers. The university guard begins to make a move for Francis and his cuffs when he shoots his gun off at the ceiling. UNIVERSITY GUARD Darn it! FRANCIS Move! Francis runs toward the Doctor and pushes him along through the door. The university guard taps his ear. UNIVERSITY GUARD Hey! You! STOP! FRANCIS (whispering) Keep movin’ Doc!
40. INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT The Doctor and Francis stumble out of the laboratory and begin sprinting through the hallway. The material from the laboratory is not properly secured and some of the glass falls out of the bag and breaks behind the two running characters. The university guard comes running out and shoot his gun again. UNIVERSITY GUARD Ohhhh boy, this is going to be one long report. The Doctor and Francis run through the stairwell and stumble out the front door of the science lab building. The university security sits down after his second shot. He puts his gun in his holster. He puts his hands on his head. He looks to the left of the lab doors. UNIVERSITY GUARD What’s this? The university guard grabs a piece of the broken Power Ranger mask. UNIVERSITY GUARD Damn Rangers!!! INT. CALIFORNIA HOUSE - DAY MR. BLACON and MRS. BLACON are wearing white tennis shorts, white polo shirts, and white tennis shoes. Mrs. Blacon is also wearing a white visor. The two laugh and embrace as they walk into their house. The two laugh. Mr. Blacon looks toward the wall phone. A light is blinking on the phone. MR. BLACON That’s funny, I don’t remember there being a message... Mrs. Blacon goes over to the phone and presses the blinking lights. MR. BLACON (V.O.) Hi, you’ve reached the Blacon residence. We aren’t in right now, probably on the yacht. Please leave your name and a detailed message and we’ll try and get back to you... (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 41. MRS. BLACON That’s weird. Nothing... JORDAN (V.O.) ...Hello? This message is for the parents of a Francis Blacon. It might interest you to find out about what your son is up to... The Blacon parents gather around the phone and hold each others shoulders as the message continues. EXT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - DAWN Doctor Frankenfurter turns the car down his street. Francis is snoring in the passenger seat. The Doctor looks over at Francis and then hits Francis in the chest. Francis wakes up and coughs. FRANCIS Not pretty Ms. Penelope and the unicorns! LLOYD What in the hell? FRANCIS Sorry. I’ve been having weird dreams lately. LLOYD Weird is a good way to put it. Regardless, we’re finally home. I still don’t know how we made it. FRANCIS That’s not our worry. What we should worry about is the fact that we don’t even have the one object we need to even get this project rolling again. LLOYD A brain. I know. I’ve been thinking of alternatives or other ways of obtaining one the whole way home. FRANCIS What about the morgue? LLOYD I told you...those bodies have been dead for too long. I need a brain (MORE) (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 42. LLOYD (cont’d) that is either in a live subject or one from a subject that has JUST passed away. FRANCIS If only that university guard... LLOYD Don’t even suggest it. We aren’t going to sacrifice anyone. FRANCIS Pf ft. Francis looks out the window. A police car is waiting outside Frankenfurter’s neighbor’s house. The house is taped up with police tape. LLOYD Mr. Wellington? The Doctor drives his car into his driveway. Both men stare at the building as they see an officer walk out the front door with some papers. He enters his police car and speeds off. Francis and the Doctor exit the vehicle all while still staring at the house with police tape. A woman in a purple and blue running suit and purple headband comes running down the sidewalk. Doctor Frankenfurter scurries up to ELLEN the jogger. LLOYD Ellen, Ellen, what in science is going on? ELLEN Lloyd, it’s good to see you. Ellen smiles and Lloyd blushes. ELLEN Did you hear about Bob? LLOYD Bob Wellington? Ellen nods. ELLEN Mhmm. Apparently he came home to find his wife, ugh, pleasing another man. Francis walks over. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 43. ELLEN He was absolutely devastated. It was his best friend...’s son. LLOYD & FRANCIS Shiiiiiiiiiit. ELLEN Well the best is yet to come. LLOYD How’d he die? ELLEN That’s the weird part. So the boy and Bob’s wife jump out of the bed. The boy runs for the door and Bob runs after him. Bob slips on the kid’s skateboard and gets his tie caught in the doorway. The whiplash and the tightness of his tie led him to suffocate to death. FRANCIS Damn! LLOYD Oh, my, poor Bob. He just began working on the that grant research. When did this all happen? ELLEN Oh, I don’t know. Must have been an hour ago at most. I was making my mocha milky protein shake when I heard some yelling. Next thing I know I see some eighteen year old’s johnson flailing outside the Wellington’s house. Francis laughs. ELLEN After that the boy stopped and I saw him go back inside as the woman let out a blood curling scream. LLOYD Awful, just awful. ELLEN I know; I’ll never wash out the image of that kid’s penis. It’s not (MORE) (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 44. ELLEN (cont’d) like it’s child pornography, but jeez Louise. LLOYD I’m sorry Ellen. ELLEN Aw, it’s OK Lloydy Bear. Francis raises his eyebrows. ELLEN I better keep up my jog or I’ll fall behind. Be sure to keep in touch OK? LLOYD Of course Ellen, be safe. ELLEN I don’t skateboard. Ellen winks at Lloyd as he blushes. She begins to jog back down the street. She waddles like a duck as she jogs. Francis walks over to Lloyd who is watching Ellen. Francis puts his arm around Lloyd’s shoulder. FRANCIS Lloydy Bear, eh? Francis laughs and Lloyd blushes more. FRANCIS Something struck me other than your Lance Romance tendencies... LLOYD Oh yeah? FRANCIS Yeah. We got ourselves a test subject. Francis twists Frankenfurter’s head toward Bob Wellington’s taped off house. Francis smiles as Lloyd begins to smile too.
45. INT. WELLINGTON HOUSE - DAY The Doctor and Francis burst in through the back door of Mr. Wellington’s house. Francis taps the Doctor on his back and points toward the front door. There are footsteps coming down the stairs. POLICE OFFICER 1 and POLICE OFFICER 2 walk down the steps. POLICE OFFICER 1 Talk about a terrible way to go. POLICE OFFICER 2 Ha! Prick had it coming. Guy ran red lights like it was his job. POLICE OFFICER 1 The door was his final red light. POLICE OFFICER 2 Yeah, do not pass go, do not collect two-hundred dollars. POLICE OFFICER 1 Ding-Dong, your wife is gone. POLICE OFFICER 2 Five, six...look out for the little kid f’n your wife with his dick! The two officers laugh as they walk out the front door of Mr. Wellington’s house. The second officer takes a large swig of his cup of coffee. The second officer throws his empty coffee cup up in the air. The first officer swats the coffee cup mid air to have it fall on the lawn of Mr. Wellington. Francis and the Doctor roll their eyes. Francis taps on the Doctor’s shoulder and motions him toward the stairs. FRANCIS Up there... The Doctor and Francis tip toe their way through Wellington’s living room. Bob Wellington’s old basset hound sleeps on the floor in the middle of the room. The dog snores. Francis walks into a lamp while smirking at the snoring dog. The Doctor grabs the lamp before it falls off the table. LLOYD Francis! Focus! (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 46. FRANCIS Sorry. Francis wipes his forward and looks back at the dog to smirk again. The Doctor and Francis tip toe up the stairs. Photographs of an angry Bob Wellington and a sad Mrs. Wellington line the stairway. Francis and the Doctor walk down the hallway toward the last room on the floor. The door is slightly open. LLOYD I hope we aren’t too late. If we mess this up we are going to the streets tonight. Francis shivers. FRANCIS Do you mean? LLOYD Yes, but let’s not discuss that. FRANCIS As creepy as it sounds; at least you’re gaining a backbone. The Doctor smacks Francis in the back of the head. Francis opens the partially opened door to reveal a body on the ground, right inside the doorway. As Francis opens the door, the tie becomes unhinged from the door and the body makes a thumping sound as it hits the floor. The Doctor and Francis step back at the sound. LLOYD Focus, dammit! The Doctor smacks Francis once more. The two men circle around the dead body. The Doctor lifts Bob Wellington’s head up and pushes his fingers toward the neck of Bob. The Doctor pulls out a pen and begins to write on particular parts of Bob’s face. FRANCIS As much as this looks like a good time to play Crayola... Francis takes a look out of the windows in the room. He uses his fingers to peer through the blinds. The police officers are walking back toward the front door. Their conversation is muted. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 47. FRANCIS But we got company. The Doctor rushes up from his spot on the ground and joins Francis by the window. LLOYD Crap! Francis takes the Doctor and pushes him under the bed. Francis rushes back to the window. The police officers are now walking into the house. Francis looks around the room. Francis runs into Mrs. Wellington’s closet. The police officers enter the Wellington’s room. POLICE OFFICER 2 Aw shit, did we let the stiff fall on the way out? POLICE OFFICER 1 Naw, his stiffy fell off when he saw his wife banging that young guy. The Doctor glances over at Francis in the closet who shares a stare back. POLICE OFFICER 2 Incredible...never a dull moment. Who was the youth anyway? POLICE OFFICER 1 One of those squatters from Wall Street. Kid followed home this guy from work, Wellington, or whatever. POLICE OFFICER 2 Yeah? POLICE OFFICER 1 Yeah, well, apparently the kid wanted to set up a new camp in the backyard with his rambunctious group, but the wife finds the kid setting up outside. She invites him inside and they start going at it. POLICE OFFICER 2 How’d the husband know? POLICE OFFICER 1 He doesn’t. Get this; some guy from those Wall Streeters outs this (MORE) (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 48. POLICE OFFICER 1 (cont’d) other guy so that the husband finds out and comes home to raise hell. In his fury the one percent ends up using one percent of his brain and chokes himself out in retaliation to his wife being pounded. Police Officer 2 looks over at the closet door. POLICE OFFICER 2 I don’t remember that being open. POLICE OFFICER 1 What do you mean? POLICE OFFICER 2 I don’t recall seeing the Mrs.’ collection. The Doctor begins to sweat as he sees Francis close his eyes and tighten his body. POLICE OFFICER 2 Something’s up here... POLICE OFFICER 1 Yeah, now you got the stiffy. POLICE OFFICER 2 I just... As Police Officer 2 reaches for the door to the closet a buzz comes over on his intercom. ANONYMOUS VOICE (V.O.) Attention all units, attention all units. Please report to the Metropolitan Museum immediately. I repeat please report to the Metropolitan Museum immediately. We are requesting all officers on scene. POLICE OFFICER 2 Fuckin’ squatters again. POLICE OFFICER 1 They may be part of the ninety-nine percent, but they sure as hell act like the one percent. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 49. POLICE OFFICER 2 Let’s go. Police Officer 2 turns and pushes Police Officer 1 ahead of him out of the room. The two officers continue to chat as they leave the room. Francis comes out of the closet wearing one of Mrs. Wellington’s dresses. He runs over to the window and watches the police leaving in their car. The Doctor gets out from under the bed and stands up. A condom is laying on top of Frankenfurter’s head. LLOYD Get out of that silly garb. FRANCIS Ughhhh, Doc, you, ugh, got something on your head. LLOYD What? What is it? The Doctor puts his hand on top of his head. He pats around the condom on top of his head. His eyes follow his hand. He pats the condom and pulls it off his head and slowly puts it in front of his eyes. LLOYD Ahhh!!! FRANCIS Hahaha!!! The Doctor takes the condom and throws it on top of the bed. The Doctor runs into the accompanying bathroom and turns the faucet on full blast. FRANCIS What’s wrong Doc? Got something on your mind? Francis begins to laugh again. LLOYD Stop it! Frankenfurter comes out of the bathroom with a towel around his hand. He wipes down his head with the towel. LLOYD Now are you going to help me or are you just going to stand there and make yourself look pretty? (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 50. Francis takes a step over to the mirror and begins to look at his figure while flashing his eyelashes. FRANCIS Well it would be an awful shame to not put this dress to use. If looks could kill. LLOYD If they could kill, then you’d start a genocide. FRANCIS HA-HA, very funny. How do you suggest we get this big lug over to your place? The Doctor smirks at Francis as he looks toward the back window FRANCIS Oh, no! EXT. WELLINGTON HOUSE - DAY Francis stands outside the window in which the Doctor was looking at. He holds out his hands and consistently looks up and then around him. FRANCIS (whispering) Alright Doc, I’m ready. Bring down the bait. LLOYD Stick to the plan. FRANCIS Yeah, yeah, yeah. You use your brains, I use my brawn. LLOYD Please, that’s not the plan. FRANCIS I know, I know. Just get going; the school bus will be coming for the little kids soon. LLOYD Alright... (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 51. The Doctor walks away from the window and then returns with a large white rug that is wrapped around the dead body of Bob Wellington. The carpet is held together with twine. The Doctor slowly pushes the rug out of the window. FRANCIS Slow now, we don’t want him to come crashing down. Use the pulley. LLOYD (grunting) Yup, yup, yup. The Doctor continues to slide the body out. The majority of the body is out when it begins to fall. The Doctor immediately grabs hold of the rope/twine. The body swings from the top floor. Bob Wellington’s dead body smacks up against the foundation of the house a few times. This noise gains the attention of a small baby who is out in a stroller with his mother. His mother is on a cell phone talking. The baby points to the swinging body and laughs. FRANCIS Jesus, Doc, what did I say? LLOYD Sorry...here comes the head... The Doctor continues to lower the body of Bob Wellington. The little baby in the stroller continues to point as Francis begins to take hold of the body. The mother continues to chat. FRANCIS Alright, I’m good. Cut the string. The Doctor cuts the string for the body. Francis grabs hold of the body and falls down. The baby begins to giggle and jump up and down. The Doctor shuts the window and runs down the stairs and outside to where Francis is. The Doctor helps Francis up by grabbing one half of the body. Francis gets up and the two men begin to walk in separate directions while holding the body. This causes both men to fall down. The baby lets out a large amount of laughter and the mother looks over, but Francis and the Doctor are on the ground, unseen. The mother looks away. Both men get up and grab the body again. LLOYD This way. The Doctor and Francis walk toward the Doctor’s house while holding Bob Wellington’s dead body in the rolled up carpet. The baby smiles and claps his hands as the men disappear.
52. INT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - DAY The Doctor and Francis get inside Frankenfurter’s home with the dead body. Francis immediately drops the body once inside. Francis walks toward the refrigerator and opens it to grab a drink. LLOYD Thanks for the help FRANCIS Yeah, not a problem Doc. But to tell ya the truth; I don’t know about all of this. LLOYD Know about what? FRANCIS Why I am even doing this with you. To tell you the truth I was only taking your class to get in touch with a girl. Yet all I’ve been able to do is get caught up in your crazy science experiments. LLOYD You’ve learned something though; haven’t you? FRANCIS Yeah, how to break into school buildings and steal the body of a dead man. I mean what the hell are we even going to do with that body?! LLOYD Simple my friend... The Doctor walks back toward the body of Bob Wellington. LLOYD We will take this man’s brain and finish off what I was unable to do. We will use his brain as a display for the manipulation theory that I propose...the Brain Software Theorem. FRANCIS Sounds good and all, but I think this is my queue to exit. You got (MORE) (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 53. FRANCIS (cont’d) the rest of it Doc. I got other things to focus on. LLOYD Suit yourself Francis. I thank you for more than you can imagine. You helped immensely when it came to getting the materials together, but you’ve inspired me in other ways Francis. FRANCIS Inspired? LLOYD Yes, you’ve given me a lot to think about. I hadn’t dreamed of unearthing my research again. But it was that day you came into my office that I knew we were fated to do something. The University has been following my record as a teacher. That day you bumped into me and something glittered about you in my classroom. FRANCIS Glow? LLOYD Yes, son. I can’t explain it, but there is something about you. I’m sorry we can’t continue our studies together. It’s a shame because you carry yourself very well Mr. Blacon. All while Doctor Frankenfurter is talking, Francis has left through the back door. The Doctor turns his back toward Francis again to find that he is not there. LLOYD There is still hope; I must keep the faith. The Doctor then begins to drag the body of Bob Wellington down the stairs of his basement.
54. EXT. CAMPUS - DAY Francis walks up the steps of the University to where a couple of pay phones are. A person keeps checking for change inside one of the phones. Francis waits outside the stall. The person looks back at Francis and then back at the stall. Francis sighs and moves to the next phone. Francis dials a number. ANONYMOUS VOICE (V.O.) Hello? FRANCIS Mom? MRS. BLACON (V.O.) Francis, is that you? Francis leans his back against the side of the phone stall. FRANCIS Yeah mom, it’s me, Francis. MRS. BLACON (V.O.) Oh Francis, Francis! We haven’t heard from you in some time. Honey, Francis is on the phone! MR. BLACON (V.O.) The wonder child himself? MRS. BLACON (V.O.) Oh, Franklin, do behave please. Francis, where are you? I hear people. FRANCIS Yeah mom, there happens to be other people in New York City with me. What a strange world. MRS. BLACON (V.O.) Now don’t be fresh with me young man; we’ve been worried sick about you. Where are you? Did you get our letter? FRANCIS Yes, I got your heartwarming letter. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 55. MR. BLACON (V.O.) Francis, Francis this is your father. Can you hear me? FRANCIS Loud and clear pops. MR. BLACON (V.O.) Good. We love you son and we care about you. We don’t mean to send you an ultimatum, but we really have no choice. FRANCIS What do you mean? MR. BLACON (V.O.) Your mother and I have decided to move out of the country to start a new life. The investment bank did so well that I don’t dare spend another moment in this nation. There have been some weird smelling hippies sleeping outside in our pool patio...Our pool patio Francis! FRANCIS Oh, the horror. What does your moving have to do with me? MR. BLACON (V.O.) We’ve been supporting you ever since you left this house. MRS. BLACON (V.O.) We’ve slowly been transferring our money over to a European account. The exchange rate is just too much for us to comprehend, so we’re going to have to cut our ties with American interests. FRANCIS Let me guess I’m your American interest?! MRS. BLACON & MR. BLACON (V.O.) We love... Francis hangs up the phone mid conversation. Francis puts his hands up to his face and covers his eyes. He rubs his forehead and looks at the person who continues to check the coin slots for money. Francis looks down. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 56. MAYTE Well hey there stranger; long time, no see. Mayte walks from behind the telephone booth and hugs Francis. She wears a globe pendent on her blouse that catches Francis’ eye. Mayte hugs Francis MAYTE Uh oh, something wrong. That squeeze felt empty. What’s up buttercup? FRANCIS Awww, nothing. I just have a lot of nothing going on. MAYTE Nothing? I thought you were working with Doctor Frankenfurter on that project of his? FRANCIS Huh? What? How did you know that? I thought no one knew. MAYTE (giggling) Word travels fast in this universe...surprisingly. Mayte takes Francis by the arm and pulls him away from the telephone booth. The two walk side by side. MAYTE So, c’mon, what’s wrong? I can tell you aren’t your usual rebellious self. FRANCIS Rebellious? HA! I wish that word actually applied to me and wasn’t just a desire for me. MAYTE What are you saying? I thought you were a big part in Jordan’s plan to bring down the yuppies. FRANCIS Please...Jordan doesn’t even know what he is fighting for. He’s just pissed that he was turned down for (MORE) (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 57. FRANCIS (cont’d) the Walker Marchant job so he felt the best way to deal with it was bitch and moan. I got sick of that. MAYTE You seem to get sick of things quickly. Is that what happened to you and Frankenfurter? Francis stops walking. Mayte stops and turns to him. FRANCIS I never told you that I left the Doctor. MAYTE You did. You said nothing was going on and I somehow doubt the Doctor would be doing "nothing" for a project. FRANCIS Well, it’s not that we aren’t doing much...It’s just we aren’t getting much accomplished. Francis takes Mayte by the hand and the two sit down on a bench next to the Science Labs. FRANCIS We’re screwed really. Doc is going to get evicted and my parents are cutting off their ties with me. Soon there won’t be much for us to do, let alone study. MAYTE I see... Mayte furiously shuffles through her bag. Francis watches as she hands a paper over to him. MAYTE Here...this is what you need. Read it. Francis looks down at the paper and begins to read. FRANCIS "The University proudly invites you to the annual Science Showcase Symposium. Please bring your (MORE) (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 58. FRANCIS (cont’d) scientific showcase to the Science Labs on June 1st for a chance to win a grant and jobs to the new government science program." Francis’ jaw drops. MAYTE I think you got some work to do tiger. Francis folds the paper in half and throws it in his jacket pocket. Francis gets up from the bench and begins to run away. Mayte smiles as Francis rushes back and plants a kiss on Mayte’s cheek. FRANCIS Thanks! Francis then runs from campus. EXT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - NIGHT Doctor Frankenfurter has Bob Wellington’s body propped up on an operating table in the basement of his house. The Doctor has all of the beakers and scientific equipment setup that he stole from the Science Labs with Francis. The Doctor has also set up his old display that failed at the previous Science Showcase Symposium. There is a knock at the door. LLOYD Coming! The Doctor begins to clean up some of his work. He puts away blueprints in a desk. More knocking at the door. LLOYD I’m coming! Jinkies... The Doctor then takes a large, white tablecloth and covers the entire body of Bob Wellington. Heavier, and longer knocks on the door. LLOYD To the power of infinite, I’m coming! The Doctor grabs the door knob and opens the door. Francis is standing at the Doctor’s door holding the Science Showcase Symposium paper that Mayte gave him. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 59. LLOYD Ahhh, it’s you Francis. What is this?! The Doctor grabs the sheet from Francis as Francis walks in the door. FRANCIS It’s something Mayte gave me. It’s for us; it’s our chance to put ole’ Wellington to work. LLOYD But I thought you thought this was stupid? FRANCIS I didn’t say that. I just didn’t know what we could do with our work, but now I know. The Symposium! If we win I can finally show the people in my life that I care about something. And you, you can get revenge on those who laughed at you last year! Doctor Frankenfurter sighs and sits down on his sofa. LLOYD But don’t you see Francis? They will only laugh at me more, and will you really care about this? Or do you want to mask the idea that you care to someone else? FRANCIS Doc, I’ll be straight with you. I don’t care about this neuron or that electron, but there is one thing scientific that I do care about. LLOYD And that’s...? FRANCIS You, Doc, you. The Doctor coughs up some milk. Frankenfurter grabs a napkin and cleans up his spill. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 60. LLOYD What do you mean, me? FRANCIS You’re the only one who has given me a chance. My folks push me and coddle me, push me and coddle me. I don’t get it. All my friends use me for their own good, but you, you actually work with me Doc. The Doctor puts his arm around Francis. LLOYD You’re a smart child. I knew it, even if you were clumsy walking around college corridors. The Doctor and Francis share a laugh. FRANCIS So what do ya say Doc? One more go? LLOYD One more go... FRANCIS Let’s program em! The Doctor and Francis share a firm handshake. Both men get up from the couch and then rush to the basement door. INT. BASEMENT - NIGHT Francis and the Doctor crowd around the table holding Bob Wellington’s dead body. The Doctor takes off the white cloth to unveil Bob’s body. FRANCIS Let me guess...you haven’t got the brain out yet? The Doctor shakes his head and pulls up a large electric saw. He turns it on and the blade begins to spin. FRANCIS Oh, boy! Francis puts on some clear goggles. Blood gets on Francis’ body and then on his face and goggles. The cap of the head pops off, but we can only hear it. Francis gags. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 61. LLOYD And now, the sticky part...c’mon brain... The Doctor picks at the brain and pulls it out onto the table. Francis begins to gag again and runs into the bathroom where he vomits. EXT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - NIGHT The Doctor and Francis are outside next to the gas range that feeds into the house. LLOYD We need that gas to feed the bunsen burners. I don’t have nearly enough canisters to run our tests. FRANCIS Now you’re talking my language. LLOYD We just need to reroute that gas tank into the basement. FRANCIS Easy, peasy. Step aside Doc. Francis moves the Doctor to the side as he gets on his knees. Francis detaches a house from the gas tank outside. FRANCIS And attach that to this... Francis attaches the rubber house to a pipe outside of Frankenfurter’s house. The connection sets off a gas flame that shoots out the other end of the pipe. FRANCIS Shit! LLOYD Oh, dear! Both men jump on the rubber hose to secure the flame from spreading. FRANCIS Maybe it was the other one? Francis secures the hose on the other pipe. The gas seeps into the house pipe fine. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 62. LLOYD (sarcastically) Perhaps... The Doctor hits Francis on the head and the two laugh. INT. BASEMENT - NIGHT The Doctor paints polyurethane onto a piece of wood. FRANCIS That gonna be the display? LLOYD The one and only. FRANCIS Do you never learn? LLOYD What? Francis walks over to the Doctor and his new display. Francis strikes a piece of flint above the display. A tiny spark slowly trickles down to the display. Once the spark hits the table, the table rises with flames. LLOYD Not again! Francis runs to grab a fire extinguisher. Francis points the extinguisher over the flames and turns on the device. Doctor Frankenfurter is covered in the retardant. Francis pulls out a can from his backpack. LLOYD Liquid fiberglass? Francis smiles and nods. FRANCIS Precisely. LLOYD You learned something from my class! FRANCIS What do you think I was doing? Reading Batman and staring off at Mayte? (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 63. LLOYD Well I know you stared off at Mayte, but Spiderman would be your choice of comics. FRANCIS Touche, Doc, touche. The Doctor goes back to the table with the brain while Francis coats the display table with the liquid fiberglass. INT. KITCHEN - DAWN Francis is wearing a kitchen apron and cooking some pancakes and bacon. The door to the basement opens with smoke coming from inside. The Doctor walks from behind the smoke. LLOYD What are you doing Francis? Francis whistles and slams a pancake back on the griddle. FRANCIS You telling me all that sawing, burning, and painting didn’t make you hungry? LLOYD BRAINS! FRANCIS Huh? Francis looks at the Doctor while he uses his other hand to grab the pancake batter. Francis’ hand reaches for a jar that contains Bob Wellington’s brain. Francis begins to tip the jar toward the skillet when Francis turns his head. FRANCIS Whoaaa! Francis puts the jar back on the table. FRANCIS Now that would have stunk. LLOYD All of our work for nothing! I know, you gotta be careful son. FRANCIS I meant the smell. I mean it already stunk ripping Bob apart; I (MORE) (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 64. FRANCIS (cont’d) doubt his brain would have smelt much better with Vermont maple goodness. The Doctor slaps the back of Francis’ head with the pancake spatula. INT. BASEMENT - DAY Francis and Doctor Frankenfurter sit down at a table in the basement. In the center of the table is the brain inside the jar. Both men have there arms on the table, supporting their heads. FRANCIS Now what? LLOYD We have the theory; and we can show how it works. But I don’t know why. FRANCIS Can’t we just say, "here, now you find out." LLOYD That would defeat the whole purpose of our project Francis. We need to own this project or else we will be the laughing stock of the symposium. Why and how is our brain so easily programmable? Both men frown as they continue to stare at the brain. FRANCIS I mean we could just use our theory and control the brains of the entire audience. LLOYD Yeah, that would go well... FRANCIS True. If it’s anything like your last one, we’d be tried in front of a jury of our peers for a mass homicide. The Doctor smirks at Francis. A cortex on the brain glows. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 65. FRANCIS I wonder...THAT! Francis points to the glowing spot on the brain. FRANCIS That looks like something I’ve seen before. LLOYD Are you talking about that lobe over there? FRANCIS Yeah. LLOYD I see it, I see it. The Doctor comes next to Francis with his scalpel and begins to cut into the cortex that glows. LLOYD There is something underneath it. The Doctor makes a small incision, but all of a sudden the cortex opens as if it acting like a machine. The Doctor immediately removes his scalpel from the brain. The brain lobe opens up to resemble the pendent that Mayte wears. FRANCIS What the? LLOYD Ahhh, MY SON! This is just as I expected! The hardware that powers the software! AI...Artificial Intelligence!!! We have our key Francis! WE HAVE OUR EXPLANATION! Francis grabs his jacket and puts it on as he runs up the stairs from the basement. LLOYD Where are you headed? FRANCIS I just realized something I had to do! I’m sorry Doc. I’ll be at the Symposium this weekend! (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 66. LLOYD Francis! Francis stops at the top of the basement stairs. LLOYD Thank you. The Doctor smiles at Francis. Francis smiles back and then turns around to run out the door. EXT. FRANKENFURTER YARD - DAY Francis runs out the door to Frankenfurter’s house. Francis gets to the end of lawn when he turns back around and looks back at the front door. JORDAN Well, well, well. Francis turns back around. Jordan is standing next to a tree in the dark. Jordan is holding something. FRANCIS Jordan, shit man, I didn’t see you there. JORDAN You haven’t seen me that much at all Francis. FRANCIS Yeah, busy with school and shit. How’s the movement going? JORDAN Stop the bullshit. You didn’t care then and you don’t care now. FRANCIS Then why the hell are you here? Jordan walks a few steps closer to Francis. Jordan is holding the a chipped piece from the power rangers mask. Jordan throws it on the ground in front of Francis. FRANCIS The fuck? JORDAN Thought you could make it out untouched? I TOLD you that you would regret backstabbing me and the operation. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 67. FRANCIS First off, I don’t know what the hell this mask has to do with me. Second, I never back stabbed you. You were boring, you were repetitive. You were glib. JORDAN Don’t play stupid with me. You damn well know what I’m talking about. The Science Labs. Your love with this Doctor Lloyd Frankenfurter guy. You can’t hide your crimes. Francis turns away from the conversation. FRANCIS (muttering) I thought no one saw us. JORDAN Think again comrade. FRANCIS It doesn’t matter; your threats don’t matter and you don’t have enough proof anyway. JORDAN You still don’t get it do you?! I will stop at nothing for my cause Francis. You are now a pawn in my mission. You are no different than those suits and ties on Wall Street. No different than Wellington and that stupid squatter. You are just another step in my journey. You have no other option other than to join the group again. FRANCIS I would NEVER do that! The Doctor has given me everything. I found meaning. I’ve found a girl. Everything just makes sense finally. Jordan puts his arm around Francis. JORDAN So you think... (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 68. FRANCIS What does that mean? JORDAN You’re still the same lost soul that joined our movement. At least then you had some guidance under me. What have you accomplished with this Doctor? FRANCIS We’ve... JORDAN Signed up for a science fair. You’ve graduated eighth grade...congratulations. FRANCIS What does my life matter to you anyway?! JORDAN You see Francis, I don’t want you to make the wrong choice... FRANCIS What do you mean? Jordan takes his arm off of Francis’ shoulders and walks a few steps ahead of Francis. JORDAN I presume he told you about the symposium last year? FRANCIS Up in flames. JORDAN Yeah...so were my dreams of becoming a laboratory assistant. FRANCIS You can’t mean? Jordan turns around to face Francis. He takes both hands and stabilizes Francis by the shoulders. JORDAN Yes, I was Doctor Frankenfurter’s assistant. There isn’t much more to tell you. You know the rest. But (MORE) (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 69. JORDAN (cont’d) there is one thing you should know. I will be there this weekend with my warriors. Francis...I don’t want you to become me...I just want you to join me. Francis pats Jordan on the shoulder. Francis smiles. FRANCIS I must be going. See you this weekend...brother. Jordan smiles as Francis turns away and runs toward the bus station. Jordan watches Francis get on the bus. Francis waves goodbye to Jordan. EXT. MAYTE APARTMENT - NIGHT Francis gets off the bus stop in front of a high-rise apartment complex. A CHAUFFEUR stands outside the building. Francis runs up to the man. FRANCIS Is this the Milky Way Apartments? CHAUFFEUR Quite. Francis gives the chauffeur a tip which the chauffeur smiles back. Francis runs inside the revolving doors of the Milky Way Apartments. Francis runs up the flight of stairs inside the building. Francis knocks on door three-hundred and sixteen. No one answers. FRANCIS C’mon, c’mon... Francis knocks more. Francis looks down at the ground and begins to slowly walk away. The door creeks open. Francis turns back. Mayte is standing in the doorway. She is wearing the globe pendent and is glowing within the doorway. FRANCIS Oh yeah, we NEED to talk... Mayte smiles at Francis and winks as Francis enters the door. The door shuts behind the two.
70. INT. SYMPOSIUM - DAY Doctor Frankenfurter wheels his cart down a large hallway. The cart has a large, white cloth on top of it. The Doctor smiles and nods to passing men and women in white lab coats. The Doctor looks inside a large door. In the other room men and women are watching another man in a white lab coat present on some topic. The crowd boos. The GENTLEMAN in the room comes screaming and running out of the room. LLOYD Oh, dear me. GENTLEMAN FAILURE!!!!!!!! The gentleman jumps out of the window at the end of the hallway. The crowd of men and women gasps and screams. The Doctor runs over to the window. He looks out the window. The gentleman lies motionless on the ground. The Occupy group waits outside. EXT. SYMPOSIUM - DAY Jordan raises his hands up and down. The crowd then raises their hands up and down. JORDAN Hey, hey. Ho, ho. This nerdy fat cat stuff has got to go! CROWD Hey, hey. Ho, ho. This nerdy fat cat stuff has got to go! JORDAN Hey, hey. Ho, ho! CROWD This nerdy fat cat stuff has got to go! Jordan continues to pump his fist as he makes his way to the edge of the crowd. A taxi pulls up toward Jordan. The door to the taxi opens and out steps Mr. and Mrs. Blacon. Jordan walks up to the taxi. JORDAN Mr. and Mrs. Blacon I presume? MR. BLACON You would presume correctly. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 71. MRS. BLACON Oh, Franklin, we must get out of this grubby area. MR. BLACON We’ll be at the Ritz soon enough. Mrs. Blacon points at Jordan. MRS. BLACON Look out for the homeless man Franklin! JORDAN Please folks, do not worry. Mr. Blacon pulls put a ten dollar bill and puts it in front of Jordan and himself while closing his eyes. MR. BLACON Take it, take it. We don’t want any trouble. JORDAN Please, please folks. My name is Jordan. I spoke with you on the phone. MR. BLACON Ahh right, the gentleman who informed us of Francis’ actions as of late. MRS. BLACON Oh, I remember your voice now. JORDAN I’m expecting him any minute now. He apparently got this entire crowd to show up here. MR. BLACON He truly has become a monster then. Associating with these mongrels. MRS. BLACON The humanity! JORDAN Just sit back for now. The circus will begin soon.
72. INT. SYMPOSIUM - DAY Doctor Frankenfurter turns away from the window. People continue to rush toward the window. Frankenfurter moves away from the crowd. ANONYMOUS VOICE (V.O.) Would Doctor Frankenfurter please report to the presentation stage. I repeat, would Doctor Frankenfurter please report to the presentation stage. LLOYD Oh boy. The Doctor looks down at his watch. LLOYD Where is he? The Doctor grabs his display table and carts it toward the large door. ANONYMOUS VOICE (V.O.) This is a last call for Doctor Frankenfurter and his Theory of Brain Control. LLOYD C’mon Francis. The Doctor wheels his cart into the large room. INT. PRESENTATION ROOM - DAY A large assembly hall contains one section of men and women in white lab coats while another section shows men and women in suits and ties. The older man sits with his board of trustees near the front of the assembly hall. The Doctor notices the older man sitting front row. The older man has a document on his lap that read "Instructor Review". The older man taps on the document and then nods at the Doctor. The Doctor looks away after making eye contact, only to continue setting up his display. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 1 Ohhhh, it’s him again. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 2 At least we get treated to fireworks each year. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 73. The Doctor finishes his set up of the display and then turns to the crowd. LLOYD The human brain is one of the most sought after prizes in the human race. What do I mean? I mean the human brain WAS one of the most intricate puzzles that we humans have come to understand. The crowd gasps. LLOYD I’ve come to explain this puzzle to you. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER Just don’t give him any matches. The crowd laughs. LLOYD Although my theory on brain waves powering the nation proved to be fruitless, it nevertheless led the building blocks for me to find out about this discovery... The Doctor then throws the white sheet off his display table. The table has Bob Wellington’s brain on it. Also attached to the brain, via wiring, is a mechanical hand. The other side of the display has a TV on it, displaying the video footage of Frankenfurter’s work with the rats. The crowd gasps again. LLOYD Let me show you how this works... EXT. SYMPOSIUM - DAY Jordan separates from Mr. and Mrs. Blacon and mingles amongst the crowd. JORDAN Brothers, sisters...we must fight the oppression that is this science symposium. I mean what has science ever done for us anyway? ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 1 It got us to the moon. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 74. JORDAN That’s what those conservative and liberal yuppies inside would like you to think. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 2 What about evolution? JORDAN Proven wrong. Look at that Doctor in there who created the fire last year! You think he has evolved? He makes the same mistakes this year as in last year... As Jordan is speaking with the crowd a taxi cab pulls up. Mayte and Francis both get out of the cab. They look at the crowd outside the symposium. Mr. and Mrs. Blacon walk up to them. MR. BLACON Francis David Blacon! FRANCIS Dad? MRS. BLACON Francis! Mrs. Blacon runs up and hugs Francis. Mayte extends her hand for a handshake, but Mr. and Mrs. Blacon just coldly stare at her. MR. BLACON You’ve got some explaining to do son. FRANCIS What do you mean? I’m fine. MRS. BLACON Oh, Francis, we know. You don’t have to hide your dirty secrets from us. FRANCIS Alright, what the hell are you talking about? MR. BLACON This sideshow you have going here. You think growing a group of dirty hippies is an accomplishment? (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 75. FRANCIS What?!?! MRS. BLACON Francis, please, stop. You don’t have to put on this charade with us. FRANCIS Listen, I’m sick of this! I’m sick of you two! The Blacon parents gasp. FRANCIS I don’t know why you are here. I’ve been fine ever since I got your letter. I found out my family is here and not back home in California. MRS. BLACON Don’t say that Francis. FRANCIS You’ve bullied me out of the house in the first place. I found my way, and then you have to come out here and try and take me back? HA! I’m done with you two. Go bake in Europe with the rest of the hypocrites. Francis takes Mayte by the hand, turns his back to his parents and begins walking through the crowd toward the symposium entrance. Mrs. Blacon faints and Mr. Blacon stops her from falling to the ground. Mr. and Mrs. Blacon get inside their taxi. The CAB DRIVER turns around to them. CAB DRIVER Where will it be? MR. BLACON Stay here. We have unfinished business... INT. PRESENTATION ROOM - DAY The Doctor continues his presentation. LLOYD And that was my preliminary analysis with the rat subjects. (MORE) (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 76. LLOYD (cont’d) Although this was satisfactory, I was more intrigued with the human brain and it’s intricate emotional displays. The Doctor lights a match. The crowd jumps up and screams. LLOYD For example I was intrigued in the way humans reacted to things. The Doctor puts out the match and smiles. The crowd settles down. LLOYD I wanted to manipulate the way the brain reacts to certain stimuli. Rather than have you all freak out about the match, I would be able to manipulate your brains so that you would calmly watch my presentation. Some of the crowd laughs. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER Are you trying to kill us? LLOYD Lord no! Although I know brain manipulation could be used for bad causes, my intention is for us to harness it’s power to understand more about our evolution. The crowd gives a small clap. LLOYD So, onto our human subject brain. Let me demonstrate to you our...errr...my project. EXT. SYMPOSIUM - DAY Francis and Mayte move toward the front door of the symposium. The crowd bumps into them as chants continue. The door is within sight. JORDAN Where were you this morning? Mayte and Francis turn around to see Jordan. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 77. JORDAN You better not be doing what I think you’re doing. FRANCIS Listen Jordan, I’m sick of all of this bullshit with you. You’re just like my parents. Molding me into something I’m not. JORDAN Let’s be honest Francis, you’ve been trying to be me ever since you left your home. You came to me a sniveling little baby who needed something to do. I gave you meaning and purpose and you go and waste your time on some professor...and that slut next to you! Francis tries to punch Jordan but an Occupy member grabs Francis’ fist before it lands. JORDAN Not so fast buddy. This will be over soon enough. A small group of the crowd forms a small circle around Jordan, Francis, and Mayte. The security guards and university guards look into the small circle. Jordan pulls out the Power Ranger mask. One of the university guards who works at the Science Labs sees the mask. JORDAN Soon Francis...everyone will know what you have done. So don’t worry about me. I’d worry about that fresh asshole of yours. Prison will toughen it up. MAYTE You won’t get away with it. JORDAN I did once, what’s to say I can’t again? Jordan then pulls out a can of polyurethane. FRANCIS You bastard! You’re the one who sabotaged the Doctor’s original experiment! (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 78. JORDAN Funny how the world turns isn’t it? UNIVERSITY GUARD Drop the mask and the drugs you hippie! The University Guard from the Science Labs makes his way through the crowd. He looks at Francis and then Mayte’s pendent glows and he immediately looks at Jordan instead. He walks up to Jordan and maces him in the face. He then pulls his walkie talkie toward his mouth. UNIVERSITY GUARD Ten-four. We have the suspect in custody. The University Guard puts cuffs on Jordan. UNIVERSITY GUARD I think you have a crowd to win over...it doesn’t look good in there. Francis grabs Mayte by the hand and the two run into the Symposium building. INT. PRESENTATION ROOM - DAY Doctor Frankenfurter begins to open the case that has Bob Wellington’s brain. LLOYD With electronic signals sent from a separate device I will be able to make this brain do as I please. The Doctor begins to type into his computer. The brain remains motionless as well as the computer arm. LLOYD (whispering) Maybe I need to change the amplitude? The Doctor goes underneath the table and twists a knob. The crowd begins to chatter amongst themselves. LLOYD By simply typing snap fingers I will make this mechanical robot snap it’s fingers. The Doctor types on the keyboard. Nothing happens. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 79. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER And here we go again! I feel like I’m watching Spiderman on Broadway. LLOYD Please, please, folks, calm down! The brain on the table begins to shake violently. LLOYD (muttering) Not again! A member of the crowd jumps onto the ground and covers their head. The rest of the crowd grows restless and some begin to get up and leave. The older man up front shakes his head at Doctor Frankenfurter. Francis and Mayte run in through the front door. FRANCIS DOC! LLOYD Francis! FRANCIS Ready to rock the foundation of Science? LLOYD It looks as though I may already have done so. The table begins to shake violently. Mayte gets underneath the table and turns the knob in the opposite direction. The table slowly stops shaking and the brain comes to a rest. LLOYD What are you doing? We need those electronic waves for the experiment. MAYTE You’ll see. Mayte’s globe pendent glows. LLOYD Oh my! Francis then gets to the top of the podium. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 80. FRANCIS Ladies, gentlemen...please remain seated. Everything’s under control. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER Who are you?! FRANCIS I’m here to blow you away. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER The Doctor already tried! The crowd laughs. FRANCIS I’ll have to thank Doc for getting you all interested, but here comes the bombshell... Mr. and Mrs. Blacon enter the symposium hall and stand near the back of the hall. FRANCIS Mayte, would you? Mayte goes over to Bob Wellington’s brain and uses a scalpel to open up the three lobes on Wellington’s brain. The globe pendents are exposed inside. FRANCIS Mind control has been around since our inception as a species. These three parts in our brain are neither human nor animal; they are artificial intelligence. Some of the crowd gasps while the rest laughs. FRANCIS The reason why all of our mental diseases and degenerative flaws within the brain have been so difficult to understand is because we were never meant to understand them. Our creators. The entire crowd begins laughing. Mayte’s globe pendent begins to glow. The crowd gasps. A blue iridescent light emits from her globe and moves toward the three lobes on Bob Wellington’s brain. The mechanical hands begins to snap it’s fingers. Mayte closes her eyes to focus. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 81. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER Make it clap! Mayte focuses again and the mechanical hand claps. The crowd gasps. FRANCIS Folks the human brain is merely a creation by a race of aliens as beautiful as us, just with a bit more smarts. Francis looks at Mayte and the two wink at each other. The older man jumps up. OLDER MAN This is highly improbable! Frankenfurter you will regret wasting my time and the University’s time on your Star Wars fantasy! You will be sure to hear from the Dean! The older man begins to walk out the door when Mayte focuses on the older man. The blue beam heads toward the older man and he immediately stops at the door. OLDER MAN On second thought; this discovery deserves full tenure and a raise! The crowd begins to applaud the Doctor and Francis. Mayte moves from behind the brain and joins Francis on the podium. MAYTE Unfortunately this is not to be. FRANCIS What? MAYTE The information that you all possess now would greatly affect our plans for this world. I hope our time here has served you all well. FRANCIS Our? The Doctor then moves up to the podium next to Mayte and Francis. The Doctor puts his arm around the shoulder of Francis and looks at him. Francis’ jaw drops. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 82. LLOYD Correct. MAYTE You see, our reason being here has nothing to do with you all finding out the truth to your existence; although you know now. Rather we were here for something greater. We’re here to restore faith. The crowd gasps. MAYTE You humans are too critical of each other. Protests, cynical laughter...It is no wonder that war and disease plague the Earth. LLOYD We hope that with this event you will all gain some sort of faith. MAYTE Thank you and goodnight! A large flash encompasses the room. When the flash of light disappears Mayte, Doctor Frankenfurter, and all of the Doctor’s work is missing. The crowd gets up and throws chairs as they go outside the room ranting and raving. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 1 AHHHHH!!! We don’t exist! ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 2 We don’t! ALIENS! ALIENS! The group of scientists are laughed at by the Occupy crowd as both groups begin to bicker back and forth. Francis joins his parents who are still standing at the back of the room. FRANCIS Well? Mr. Blacon begins clapping. FRANCIS Let’s go home. Mrs. Blacon runs over to Francis and gives him a big hug. The Blacons begin to leave the symposium hall. Before Francis leaves the room he sees a piece of paper where Doctor Frankenfurter was standing before he disappeared with Mayte. (CONTINUED)

"Faith in Science" Screenplay

  • 1. FADE IN: INT. TENT - DAY FRANCIS awakes in a blue tent. Francis rubs his eyes and begins to search the bed of the tent for his phone. FRANCIS (Whispering) What the fuck am I doing? Francis puts on a sweater and opens the zipper to his tent and walks out. EXT. CITY ENCAMPMENT - DAY Francis walks out of his tent and nods at fellow campers who pass by him. Francis begins to walk toward a large gathering of fellow campers. A large fire is at the center. People are dressed in grungy, dirty clothing. Francis walks into JORDAN. FRANCIS Shit! Sorry. Jordan turns around. JORDAN Who the hell?!...Ahhhh Francis, I should have known. Only someone as clumsy as you can get lost among comrades. FRANCIS Ha, yeah, I’m sorry about that. It’s just, it looks like things picked up. JORDAN You damn straight my lad! Blockades on 55th and 3rd worked...We have some stragglers sure to join overnight as well. Francis, our effort is strong! FRANCIS I’m surprised. I really am, Jordan. I haven’t been a part of something... JORDAN And you won’t be a part of anything greater ever in your lifetime! (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 2. CONTINUED: 2. JORDAN (cont’d) Jordan, what we have here is the beginning of the end and an ending to bring about the commencement. FRANCIS You lost me there. Jordan takes a hold of Francis’ shoulder and thrusts him forward into walking along the embankment of the campground. JORDAN (Mockingly) No surprise there Francis, old boy, old chap. You see those fucktards over there? Jordan points across the embankment to a bunch of men in suits, standing outside an office building, holding briefcases. Francis nods. JORDAN Those fuckers are the reason we stand over here. FRANCIS Because they have jobs and we don’t? JORDAN FRANCIS! No...we stand over here because they don’t represent us. They don’t fight the same fight. Hypocritical bureaucrats, drinking their coffee while they screw the prom queen or the valedictorian. Jordan leads Francis toward another side of the embankment. MAYTE passes by the two walking. Francis and Mayte meet eyes and continue to pass. JORDAN One thing disturbs me comrade... FRANCIS (Quizzically) And what’s that Jordan? JORDAN Your motives...I don’t see the passion behind those eyes Francis. I just see you ogle girls. (CONTINUED)
  • 3. CONTINUED: 3. FRANCIS I don’t know man, it’s just I haven’t found me. I know it sounds bogus, but... Mayte passes by the two from behind. Mayte turns around while walking and smiles at Francis. She wears a sweatshirt with the local University seal on the front. A twinkle emits from her earring. Francis blushes. FRANCIS I just...just... JORDAN Damn it Francis! You can’t find you, because your cock keeps finding women. Focus! Jordan slaps Francis in the back. Francis coughs. JORDAN You really do need to find yourself brother. Look...You know where the metropolitan is, right? Francis nods. FRANCIS Yes. JORDAN Well get acquainted with the area if you aren’t. Francis sighs. JORDAN We are planning a large nap-in gathering. We’re gonna block that mother f’er to kingdom come! They won’t... FRANCIS See it coming? Who cares? What are you even establishing by sleeping in front of a museum? JORDAN See! This is your problem. Get this head... Jordan slaps Francis’ crotch area causing Jordan to recoil and cover. (CONTINUED)
  • 4. CONTINUED: 4. JORDAN Out of your head. You got one hell of a brain up there. Use your brain. See you at the Met! Jordan runs away from Francis toward another large group of protesters. The protesters carry large signs with various nonsensical phrases. Francis coughs and spits on the ground. INT. ASSEMBLY HALL - DAY SUPER: "...Meanwhile..." DR. LLOYD FRANKFURTER conducts a conference. Men and women dressed in white lab coats sit down around Lloyd. A large brain is displayed on a projector wall. LLOYD The world was once made up of many mysteries. Evolution, space, electricity, and the Twinkie! The crowd chuckles. LLOYD Yet one thing has been a fail safe in solving these so-called mysteries: science. The crowd begins to raise some noise. LLOYD Science has found ways of quantifying and explaining what was once unexplainable. Biology helped construct the building blocks of understanding Darwin’s evolutionary cycle. Physics put together equations to show us why we fall here and float up there... Dr. Lloyd Frankenfurter points toward the ceiling. An applause is heard in various sections of the crowd. LLOYD What I propose today is a study into the brain. I want to begin the study of the science that has been nearly impossible to understand. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER You’re crazy! (CONTINUED)
  • 5. CONTINUED: 5. LLOYD Psychiatrists would fall to their knees, comprehending my plan to attack the hardest science. Yet I stress that I am not intending to do this blindly. I want to use the brain for the good of man and woman. I want to harness it’s power so we can understand how it works. A couple of lab coat-wearing scientists walk out from behind a door with a large table on wheels. The cart is covered by a large table cloth. The crowd gasps and gawks. LLOYD We all know that our brain has electronic wavelengths that are produced and distributed among the different cortex and regions of the brain. I believe the answers to understanding the brain lie in these electronic wavelength. To study these wavelengths we must use them for a practical use. So I propose we use these wavelengths to power... Dr. Frankenfurter removes the table cloth from the rolling cart. Underneath the cloth is a model city that is hooked up to a brain within a fish bowl. LLOYD Our world! ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER Bat-shit crazy! The crowd becomes restless and whispers turn to yells. LLOYD Folks, folks, please calm down...What I propose may be revolutionary, but it by no means calls for the degradation of our own species. Give me a chance... The crowd silences. LLOYD I propose that we use our thoughts to help power our lives. By simply wearing a brain scanner at night, while we sleep, we can charge (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 6. CONTINUED: 6. LLOYD (cont’d) enough energy into our own house to sustain electricity for the entire week. Dr. Frankenfurter walks around the table and flicks a switch. The display town lights up. LLOYD These simple steps will create a self-sufficient United States of America. No longer will we be dependent on other countries for electrical power. We can loosen the stronghold Canada has over us. A crowd member laughs. LLOYD And with sustained tests and consistent brain scans, us scientists can continue to develop stronger hypothesis’ on the brain. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER How do you suppose the public will feel? LLOYD I would think everyone and anyone would be open to this notion of freeing ourselves from foreign debts. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER And what of people’s thoughts? How do they know their own thoughts are safe from exposure? LLOYD Simple friend, faith! A spark emits from Dr. Frankenfurter’s display and the spark quickly turns into a flame. The display burns and the brain bursts inside the fishbowl. Scientists assist Dr. Frankenfurter with putting out the fire. They use fire extinguishers and fall from the extinguisher fluid. The crowd laughs while some women are heard shrieking. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER I think it’s safe to say that this idea went up in flames. (CONTINUED)
  • 7. CONTINUED: 7. The crowd laughs as some of them slowly filter out of the assembly hall. LLOYD Folks, folks, please, please stay! You have to keep the faith. Dr. Frankenfurter slips and falls once more. The assembly hall is empty. LLOYD (Mumbling) Just...keep...the faith... FADE OUT. EXT. MUSEUM ENTRANCE - NIGHT A group of the protesters stands outside The Metropolitan Museum. They hold signs and chant songs and phrases. Francis walks up to Jordan. FRANCIS Hell of a turn out you got here Jordan. JORDAN Ahhhh, brother Francis, so glad you could make it. Jordan jumps down from his soapbox and embraces Francis. FRANCIS I figured it might be worth my time. Francis exchanges a look with Mayte who holds a sign that reads "1% Nazi". Mayte has a glow about her. JORDAN This is good to hear comrade. The best is yet to arrive. Come, come! Join me on the front lines. Jordan leads Francis toward the front of the protesters where Mayte stands. The SECURITY GUARD holds back the crowd from entering the museum. JORDAN They don’t want us to win Francis. See, they don’t want us to get in because they know we will squat and we will squat hard. (CONTINUED)
  • 8. CONTINUED: 8. CROWD SQUAT-WHAT-SQUAT-WHAT-SQUAT! SECURITY GUARD You are not allowed inside! The museum has been closed for over an hour. You must come during our regular hours. To inquire about our open... JORDAN Ha! Bureaucrat! I tell ya Francis, they don’t know our fight. You know it friend; hell, you look like a fighter yourself. FRANCIS Yeah, I guess I have been one... MONTAGE Francis daydreams about his previous efforts within other groups. Francis was involved in a group of political protesters who didn’t believe in a new form of free health care for everyone. He is ridiculed by his parents for this and is cast out of the house. Francis spent time hacking databases of TMZ for an online syndicate. Yet this only alienates him from his friends as he hacks an account at TMZ that belongs to a friend of his. Francis’ friends abandon him. Francis is seen going into a Justin Bieber concert. We only see Francis leave the concert shaking his head. Francis meets Jordan outside the concert as he protests against Bieber not paying enough taxes. Francis then joins his current alliance. BACK TO SCENE FRANCIS One hell of a fighter. JORDAN That’s the spirit Francis! I’ll be back, I need to get this bureaucrat’s badge number...Keep up the fight Francis. SECURITY GUARD Please, please...everyone back up! CROWD HELL NO, WE WON’T GO. HELL NO, WE WON’T GO.
  • 9. 9. Jordan pushes toward the front of the pack and continues to lead the chants. Francis walks slowly, backwards out of the crowd. EXT. BUS STOP - NIGHT Francis waits for the bus. Mayte comes from behind a billboard and walks toward Francis. Francis chokes up. FRANCIS Hello? MAYTE Hey, are you Francis? FRANCIS Ugh, yes, and may I ask who you are? MAYTE My name is Mayte. I’ve seen you around. I work with Jordan on the occupy campaigns. FRANCIS You work for Jordan? MAYTE Not for, with. Mayte winks at Francis. MAYTE I don’t think I could work for him. He’s a bit demanding and a tad out of touch. FRANCIS That’s an understatement. Mayte giggles. MAYTE Anyway, I noticed...well...Jordan noticed you left and we wanted to make sure everything was OK. FRANCIS I’m OK. I just don’t associate well with that bunch. I just don’t know where to find a reason. I’m sorry; I don’t even know you and I’m bothering you with needless information. (CONTINUED)
  • 10. CONTINUED: 10. MAYTE No, it’s OK. I totally understand you. I only work with Jordan and the protesters because it will show my ability to organize and manage a project. I go to New York University. I’m a business major. FRANCIS I know...I saw your sweatshirt earlier today. MAYTE So that was you?! I thought you were the same one. Well it’s funny you mention the shirt...I "found" myself there. FRANCIS What do you mean? Mayte unzips her jacket to reveal the sweatshirt again. She points to the university seal. MAYTE I wasn’t sure what to do with my life, so I went there. I’ve been finding meaning in some science classes; which surprises the hell out of me because I’m not into that kind of stuff. FRANCIS Then what makes you think that place is for me? No offense, but you barely know me. MAYTE You have to have more faith than that Francis. There is a professor there, Dr. Lloyd Frankenfurter. He’s a great guy and knows a lot about nothing. It just looks like you want something to hold onto and own. I can’t guarantee anything with Jordan and his movement, but I can at least tell you that you have a chance with Frankenfurter. FRANCIS Well, it can’t hurt...I still don’t get why you want to help me though. (CONTINUED)
  • 11. CONTINUED: 11. MAYTE We all want to help you Francis...you just need to help yourself first... Mayte zips her jacket back up and throws her hoodie over her head. As she turns her head, a twinkle emits from her eye. Mayte looks both ways before crossing the street back toward the museum. MAYTE Bye! See you on campus! Mayte runs off as Francis stands at the bus station silent. Francis waves back at Mayte as she disappears from sight. EXT. CAR - DAY Dr. Frankenfurter gets in his 1994 Toyota Corolla. The car is missing one of it’s front head lights. The bumper of the car is littered with bumper stickers that have scientific messages on them. Dr. Frankenfurter attempts to back out of his driveway and is cut off by a speeding, larger car. Frankenfurter is then trying to pull out of his street onto the main route where he is once again cut off by a larger vehicle... INT. TENT - DAY Francis wakes up again in his tent. He brushes his teeth with an old straw from a soda cup. Francis attempts to put on deodorant, but the last part of the stick falls out. Francis uses the piece of deodorant and rubs it in on his body. Francis unzips his tent and walks out... INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY Dr. Frankenfurter waits in line. He stands next in line. A CLERK takes an order from an OLD LADY in front of Dr. Frankenfurter. The clerk stares at the wall while talking. CLERK What’ll it be? OLD LADY What was that dear? CLERK What’ll it be? OLD LADY I’m terribly sorry darling. I’m hard of hearing. Could you say that again? (CONTINUED)
  • 12. CONTINUED: 12. CLERK Whaddya want?! OLD LADY Well, I thought I was going to go with my normal tea today... Dr. Frankenfurter blinks uncontrollably. A couple behind Frankenfurter sighs and checks their watches. OLD LADY But I just thought I’d try something crazy...I’ll have the ice tea. The couples sighs again. CLERK Next! LLOYD Could I please have a hot, regular coffee? CLERK We’re out. LLOYD Excuse me? CLERK You hard of hearing too? I said we are out...Next! Dr. Frankenfurter is pushed aside by the couple waiting behind him. EXT. SIDEWALK - DAY Francis walks on the sidewalk. Francis moves around other families and people going about their business. Francis stops at a fruit stand and approaches the VENDOR. FRANCIS What’s good today? VENDOR Everything. FRANCIS I’ll have the orange then. (CONTINUED)
  • 13. CONTINUED: 13. Francis places his change on the vendor’s stall. The vendor throws the orange at Francis who fumbles the orange to the ground. He picks it up and blows it off with his breath. Francis walks away from the stall. Francis takes a bite of the orange to reveal a dried out, seedy orange. Francis spits out the seeds and throws the orange away after only a few bites. Francis stops a second and stares at the sign in front of him. INSERT - SIGN: "NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, La Vida Loca" Francis spits out a final seed and runs up the steps into the building before him. INT. OFFICE - DAY Dr. Frankenfurter prepares his class slides. The doctor places nerdy phrases together to form acronyms for elements on the periodic table. LLOYD (Giggling) Well if this doesn’t get there attention; I don’t know what will! The Doctor continues to laugh as he looks at his watch. LLOYD Jinkies! I’m going to be late! Frankenfurter then throws all of his papers and briefcase onto a rolling cart. He throws his jacket on backwards and runs out the door nearly tripping on his own coat. INT. HALLWAY ENTRANCE - DAY Francis swings open the door and hits a nerdy looking young female in the face with the opening door. The slam makes the young female drop all of her papers, including her glasses. FRANCIS Oops! The girl picks up her dropped material and scurries off, giving Francis a sneer. INT. HALLWAY - DAY Frankenfurter continues to pile his things together as he stumbles out of his office and into the hall that is now packed with more students and scientists than before. Frankenfurter inches along as he makes contact with student’s and professor’s shoulders. (CONTINUED)
  • 14. CONTINUED: 14. LLOYD Scuse me...pardon...can I, can I...excuse me... A student wearing a large hooded sweatshirt who is in front of Frankenfurter quickly turns around. HOODED STUDENT Funky butt-lovin’! What is your deal man?!?! LLOYD Funky...butt-lovin’? HOODED STUDENT You’re crampin’ my style gramps. One at a freakin’ time...jeez! Frankenfurter dips his head after the interaction, allowing more shoulders to continue to dig into him as he shuffles past everyone. INT. HALLWAY - DAY Francis walks down the hallway, looking at each door and comparing it with a list of numbers he has written on a sheet of paper. The hallway begins to grow quiet and Francis looks down at his watch. FRANCIS (muttering) Oh no...not on the first day... Francis then lifts his pants up and begins to sprint toward the end of the corridor. INT. CLOSET - DAY Frankenfurter collects himself and his breath as he takes a hit from his inhaler. The doctor is sweating and quickly checks his watch. LLOYD JINKIES! Frankenfurter frantically throws his papers back together and attempts to turn the knob to the closet door. The knob breaks off. LLOYD Fran-ZOINKS!!!
  • 15. 15. Frankenfurter twists and turns, but does not escape his situation. Frankenfurter then dips his shoulder into the door and puts all his weight behind one final thrust. INT. HALLWAY - DAY Frankenfurter’s closet door swings violently open as Francis rounds the corner running directly into the swinging door. LLOYD Oh my! Sorry about that! Ugh, oh my! Francis checks his nose with the back of his hand. A trickle of blood flows from his nose. LLOYD You’re bleeding my child! How terrible of a person you must think I am. Francis continues to hold his nose up with a tissue the doctor has given him. FRANCIS It’s alright...honestly, I’m OK. It’s just a little blood. LLOYD And on the bright side: it proves that you are a living, breathing, thinking, human being! Francis chuckles for a second as he continues to stare up at the ceiling. FRANCIS I guess I had it coming anyway. Karma works in magical ways. Frankenfurter attempts to wipe away a drop of blood that flows down Francis’ cheek. FRANCIS Really, don’t worry about it. I shouldn’t even be here right now. I mean, I belong here, but... LLOYD It’s OK my child. You need not explain yourself. Hurry along, I’m sure your professor is waiting on you. (CONTINUED)
  • 16. CONTINUED: 16. FRANCIS Like I was saying, don’t worry, I’m not here for the education. I’m just attending some whack job’s class to find out about this girl I noticed the other day. LLOYD Oh? FRANCIS Yeah, I’m probably wasting my time, but who knows what’ll happen. I shouldn’t be bothering you with my life anyway... Francis checks his watch one more time. FRANCIS I’m late as is. I better jump into a worm hole or something! LLOYD I wouldn’t recommend it. Your body will be ripped into tiny molecules and your life experiences are played out before you in cataclysmic explosion. FRANCIS What the...? LLOYD Hurry along now! Frankenfurter puts the books that Francis has dropped back into his hands and pushes the young gentlemen in the direction of the class rooms. Frankenfurter shakes his head and smiles at the same time. INT. CLASSROOM - DAY Francis sits in a stuffy classroom and looks around quickly. Francis is looking for someone. Students filter in through the classroom doors. Francis unzips his backpack and pulls out a letter that is inside a business envelope. INSERT - "LETTER" "Our Dearest Child, We are writing to you because we have been expressing the deepest concern for your well being..." Francis sighs and rolls his eyes. (CONTINUED)
  • 17. CONTINUED: 17. INSERT - "LETTER" "We keep sending you money from the table where we eat our bread. Yet, we hear nothing. We see nothing. We have nothing..." Francis props his left leg up on the chair in front of him. INSERT - "LETTER" "You may have escaped this house, but you will never escape your blood Francis. You have left us with no recourse. We are willing to cut your funds if you continue on your wayward path. We love you Francis; don’t make us do this." Francis is cut off from reading his letter as a giant notebook lands on top of the letter that is in his lap. Mayte smiles at Francis and he stares at a globe pendent that hangs from her neck on a chain. MAYTE I had faith you would show your face around these parts! Mayte swings her arm around like a pioneer of the old West. MAYTE You are going to LOVE the good Doctor! He’s a little out there, but he means well. FRANCIS If he’s anything like the doofus I ran into earlier then I’m in for a treat... At this moment Dr. Frankenfurter bursts through the door with his books and they go flying about the room as he falls to his knees. The class giggles as Frankenfurter haphazardly picks up his materials. LLOYD Now, class...class...calm down now! Nothing you haven’t seen before. Frankenfurter glances over the classroom as he stacks his books on the professor’s table. LLOYD Though to those of you that are new to my course, I may seem like a "whack job." (CONTINUED)
  • 18. CONTINUED: 18. Frankenfurter raises his eyebrow in Francis’ direction. Francis sinks down in his chair and slowly covers his face with his parent’s letter. Mayte notices Francis’ embarrassment and smiles. LLOYD You will come to understand the method of my madness. Now, where did we leave off? Francis shows his face again as students begin to look down at their notebooks and write with pens and pencils. Francis looks at Mayte who is sitting next to him. He stares at her hair and the globe-like pendent she is wearing. LLOYD Mr. Blacon? Francis’ hand twitches as he blinks slowly, presumably day dreaming. Francis’ eyes follow Mayte’s hair as it streaks down her white blouse. LLOYD Francis?! Francis begins to reach out slowly from his chair for Mayte. His eyes have stopped at her waist and he now reaches for her shoulder. LLOYD FRANCIS BLACON! FRANCIS Boobs! The class collectively laughs and chuckles. LLOYD Perhaps you could enlighten me with your theory on anatomy after class? For now I’d like to finish on the different triggers that neurons can set off. We’ll speak after class. Some members of the class continue to chuckle. Mayte looks back at Francis and taunts him by pursing her lips together.
  • 19. 19. INT. DOOR - DAY The students are exiting the class and being handed a pamphlet by Dr. Frankenfurter. Mayte is second to last to leave. LLOYD Your input was valued as always Mayte! MAYTE Thanks Doc! Mayte looks back at Francis, smiles, and then continues to skip off into the hallway. Francis moves toward the door to grab a pamphlet when Frankenfurter cuts Francis off with his arm across the door exit. LLOYD Mr. Blacon...I think our frontal cortex was in another reality today. Would I be correct in assuming this? You rushed around the hallways. Couldn’t focus in class. And you had nothing to offer for conversation. Looks like someone came unprepared. FRANCIS Same could be said for you. LLOYD Very funny, young man. Perhaps you should consider this... Frankenfurter shoves a green flier into the hands and stomach of Francis. Francis recoils and looks down at the paper as the Doctor gently nudges Francis out of the door. EXT. DOOR - DAY Francis unwraps the paper in front of him unveil the flier Frankenfurter has handed him. INSERT - "FLIER" Is your medulla oblongata out of whack? Does the hippocampus forget? Never fear! The good Doctor is here! Office hours are right after class for two hours. Francis looks up to see the steady flow of students fly by him. Francis "sighs" and shrugs his shoulders as he watches Mayte bounce by. Mayte walks alone and glows.
  • 20. 20. INT. OFFICE - DAY Frankenfurter returns to his office. An envelope is left on his door as he enters. He pulls the manila envelope off the door and begins to open it as he sits down in his electrocution themed office chair. Frankenfurter reads the note aloud. LLOYD To Whom This May Concern...Well I assume it concerns me?...It has come to our attention that the graduation rate at our prestigious University has diminished due to student’s participation in your class. Frankenfurter gets up from his chair and walks over to his mock setup of a town from his previous presentation.He rests his elbow on the top of the brain dome, as he reads. His elbow slips off when he reads the words "your class". LLOYD Thus, we have come to the conclusion that in order to correct this issue we will be monitoring the progress of two, randomly selected students in your current course. INT. EXECUTIVE ROOM - NIGHT SUPER: "Last Night" A group of older men and women dressed in business suits and apparel sit around a large, dark oak business table. Packets with student’s name and photographs are strewn across the table. The OLDER MAN at the end of the table slams his middle finger down on one of the photographs. It is a photograph of Francis. OLDER MAN This nitwit just joined last night. He’ll be perfect for the Doctor. He cares so much about this course that he just enrolled before the enrollment deadline. The group of older men and women begin to snicker as they twiddle their thumbs. (CONTINUED)
  • 21. CONTINUED: 21. OLDER MAN I need two of them to get him fired though. This boy won’t be enough. The group of older men and women all stop what they are doing and immediately look down at the papers in front of them. They rush through the pages feverishly, but no one looks back up. The older man glances over a picture of Mayte and looks to the right at her biography. OLDER MAN Uh huh, here we are. She’ll do just fine...being from Parts Unknown...HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The group of older men and women look around at each other and then begin to laugh along with the older man. A legal book is thrown on the table which creates a loud thud. INT. OFFICE - DAY Doctor Frankenfurter moves toward his desk as he continues to read out loud. LLOYD The students will be accessed for their comprehension of the subject and their application of the subject to the real world. If you are not Doctor Frankenfurter, then please disregard everything you have just read...Have a nice day? Frankenfurter is then interrupted by his door opening up suddenly. Francis enters the Doctor’s office with both his parents note and the Doctor’s invitation for free tutoring during office hours. FRANCIS Sooo, I gave it some thought. I could use some help. LLOYD "THOUGHT!" Ah, my friend, you are already beginning to get it. Wonderful! Where should we begin? FRANCIS Well how about you calm down for a minute and tell me what this whole thing is about man. (CONTINUED)
  • 22. CONTINUED: 22. LLOYD Life? It’s the most wondrous... FRANCIS NO! What’s this whole tutor thing entail? I gotta... Francis looks down at this hand holding the note from his parents. FRANCIS I gotta improve things...and I just think you seem to be the only one willing to give me a shot. I got some friends, but they don’t help drive me. We just end up smoking pot and sitting in front of institutional buildings. LLOYD Well if drive is what you need; I shall be the inertia to set it forth! FLASHBACK - Scenes from Frankenfurter’s morning are shown. All the moments in which he is bossed around play in chronological order. His car is cut off twice. He is ignored in line. People bump into him without care. LLOYD At least I hope I can. Francis and Frankenfurter both share a nervous laugh. The Doctor extends his hand to Francis. Francis looks at the Doctor’s hand, then extends his hand as the two shake hands. EXT. CITY ENCAMPMENT - NIGHT The protesting group is quiet as campfires sizzle in the dark. Francis is seen moving through the tightly packed group of settlers. Francis bumps into an occasional person, followed by a "oops, sorry, or pardon me". Francis has all of his possessions bundled up on his backpack. Francis walks toward his tent. Jordan stands in front of his tent with his arms crossed. FRANCIS Heyyy, Jordan. Nice to see you. JORDAN Don’t "heyyy" me. What’s this? What’s on your back? What the hell are you doing?! (CONTINUED)
  • 23. CONTINUED: 23. FRANCIS Well... JORDAN Don’t "well" me. FRANCIS Dude, are you serious? JORDAN Sorry, explain yourself traitor. FRANCIS Traitor? Seriously? Jordan nods his head while biting his inner lip. FRANCIS I went to the University. I found a couple classes I like and I even found a professor who seems pretty cool...even though he’s a nerd. Francis laughs to himself. FRANCIS I know I’ve said this before, but it just feels right there. This time I think it’s the real thing too. I even found that same girl I like there too. JORDAN I should have known it! Your god damn Willy brought you there! You don’t see it do you? FRANCIS What? JORDAN Every time you make some life decision it’s because of some broad. We have a real thing going here. A real fight that you should be a part of! FRANCIS A fight? All we do is camp out in front of buildings. (CONTINUED)
  • 24. CONTINUED: 24. JORDAN How dare you make light of the movement! I should have known this was happening when that girl mysteriously disappeared from the camp and a bunch of the others saw you at the campus. FRANCIS Are you keeping track of me? JORDAN Uh, no. You can’t hide from us because we are everywhere. You really don’t realize how big this thing is... Francis begins to talk down his tent in a hurry. A piece of paper falls out of Francis’ backpack and lands in bush next to his tent. JORDAN You are oblivious and will continue to stray in life. In fact, I see you coming back to me soon enough. Comrade, you’ll be sniffling like a dog when you come back to me. Francis throws the rolled up tent onto his back. JORDAN You will regret this day, friend. FRANCIS Don’t call me friend. As Jordan extends his hand, Francis look at as he did when he looked at Doctor Frankenfurter’s hand. Francis turns his back to the extended hand and walks away as Jordan flashes a smile across his face. EXT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - NIGHT The Doctor drives his car into the driveway of his house. As the doctor puts his car into park, he twists his head to the front door of his house. A LAWYER in a black trench coat stands at the Doctor’s front door. The Doctor grabs his briefcase and glasses and walks out of the car door, toward the man in the black trench coat. The man in the jacket approaches the Doctor as he moves toward the front door.

  • 25. CONTINUED: 25. LAWYER Doctor Frankenfurter? LLOYD Yes? LAWYER It is my unfortunate duty to present you with these papers. LLOYD What are these? Frankenfurter rushes through the pages as it suddenly begins to rain with a clap of thunder. The lawyer immediately takes out an umbrella that covers the lawyer’s head. LAWYER Those papers acknowledge that you have been given an eviction notice that will take place in three months if you do not make up your previous payments in rent. LLOYD But I work at the University, I’m tenured...I’m good for it. Have some faith! LAWYER Faith is not a part of my job description Mr...excuse me, Doctor Frankenfurter. Furthermore. The Doctor tries to step underneath the umbrella with the lawyer in order to stay out of the rain. The lawyer makes jerky movements to disallow the Doctor from being safe from the rain. The Doctor places his hand on the umbrella handle and moves it under him. The lawyer grabs hold with both hands and jerks the umbrella back under him solely. LAWYER FURTHERMORE...You’re tenure does not matter to the housing board. You’re timely payments, however, do matter. You have three months. Goodnight Mr. The lawyer moves away from Doctor Frankenfurter and paces back to his car, which sits across the street. (CONTINUED)
  • 26. CONTINUED: 26. LLOYD (muttering) That’s Doctor to you. LAWYER Excuse me?! LLOYD Four months, got it! LAWYER THREE MONTHS!!! The lawyer shakes his head and shakes off his umbrella, before slamming the door to his car and skidding off into the night. The Doctor looks down at the eviction letter as rain droplets begin to blotch the ink on the letter. A screeching taxi stops in front of the Doctor’s house. The Doctor looks up from the letter to see Francis arguing with the taxi driver. Francis holds his hands up as the taxi driver flicks off Francis and speeds away. LLOYD Francis? Is that you?! FRANCIS Hey doc! Ugh, I know this sounds sudden, but I need a place to stay. I was kind of kicked out of my...house... LLOYD Come here son! We must get you out of the rain; come in, come in! The Doctor grabs one of Francis’ two bags, grabs Francis by the shoulder, and leads him into the house. INT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - NIGHT Francis drops his bag off at the entrance of the Doctor’s house. Upon the entrance various science awards are visible. Chalkboards line the entrance to the Doctor’s house and on them are sketches of different parts of the human brain with illegible writing. Francis’ jaw drops as he looks at the Doctor’s writing. LLOYD Twenty years of research. (CONTINUED)
  • 27. CONTINUED: 27. FRANCIS All of this? Francis points to the walls. LLOYD Every last cortex. Every last equation. Every piece of it. Our class, my entire life’s work. This is what I’ve been working on, but now it will be what WE are working on. FRANCIS Don’t think you can put my brain on that chalkboard. LLOYD I would never dream of it. Alas, you point out the biggest flaw in my research. FRANCIS Not enough chalkboard? I think we can look past that. LLOYD No! The brains, the brains! FRANCIS Step away Doc; I ain’t afraid of killin’ no zombies! Doctor Frankenfurter chuckles to himself. LLOYD No, no, no, no. I don’t intend to operate on you. But one issue that has always risen in my research is the ability to procure a test subject that is usable. Most of my research has been done on brains from the deceased. FRANCIS Thank goodness! LLOYD The problem is I get them too dead. FRANCIS Too dead? I don’t follow. (CONTINUED)
  • 28. CONTINUED: 28. LLOYD Most of our research involves the electrons shooting in the brain. We can’t replicate this action with a brain from a body that has been deceased over twenty-four hours. Considering general scientific guidelines and laws; my research is nearly impossible. FRANCIS Don’t look at me. I’m not killing anyone for you. And like I said, my brain is off limits! LLOYD I wouldn’t even dare Francis. The Doctor laughs, but suddenly his gentle laughs turn to a gigantic sigh. LLOYD EVEN if we had a brain to work with...I don’t have the money to continue forth... Francis suddenly stands up from the Doctor’s chair which he was sitting in. FRANCIS Listen up! I didn’t sign up for this tutoring bull crap just so I could hear you bitch and moan. LLOYD Bitch and moan? FRANCIS Yeah, that’s all I’ve heard ever since I got in here. Bitch and moan. Past research, no money, lost my tampons. Bitch and moan. LLOYD What?! FRANCIS Are you going to break in with me or are you going to continue to keep that sand in your vagina? (CONTINUED)
  • 29. CONTINUED: 29. LLOYD Sand in my vagina? Break in?! Francis pulls out a key from his pocket. The key shines with the lights inside the Doctor’s house. FRANCIS All we could ever need for our experiments, all of the resources possible...one key to rule them all. LLOYD We can’t break in. Where’d you get that?! FRANCIS Never mind where I got it. Let’s get this thing into action. I don’t have much time. LLOYD I know money is scarce, but there is no reason to commit a crime. I have a reputation. FRANCIS Pf ft, what reputation? Francis chuckles as the Doctor goes into a trance. FLASHBACK - The events of the day are once again flashed before the Doctor’s eyes. He sees his day in chronological order with the cars, cashiers, and students taking advantage of him. As Francis’ chuckle ends he begins to tremble as he sees the Doctor’s eyes widen and his nostrils flare. FRANCIS D-d-d-d...doc? LLOYD GET IN THE CAR! EXT. CITY ENCAMPMENT - NIGHT Jordan continues to pace back and forth in front of the area that used to be where Francis’ tent was. Jordan kicks some stones. One of the stones skips off the sidewalk and ricochet’s into a girl’s face. (CONTINUED)
  • 30. CONTINUED: 30. GIRL What the fuck?! Jordan gasps and immediately ducks down to the ground. He army crawls to the bush next to where the tent stood. A white letter sticks out at the bottom of the bush right in front of Jordan. JORDAN And what do we have here...? Jordan reads the note to himself. The girl hit by the stone gets up and begins looking for the source of the stone. GIRL Where the fuck did it come from? Jordan begins to army roll to the other side of the bush. As he finishes reading the letter, he laughs as he rolls the letter into his jacket pocket. Jordan rolls right onto the girl’s shoe. GIRL What the? Jordan gets up and brushes himself off. JORDAN As you were comrade. Carry on. Jordan smiles at the girl as he walks away from her. JORDAN And now to set the bait... EXT. SCIENCE LABS - NIGHT A car pulls into an empty parking lot next to the University’s science labs. Doctor Frankenfurter and Francis get out of the car. Both men are wearing black sweatpants and black shirts as well as carrying a black backpack. LLOYD I’m having second thoughts. FRANCIS I don’t wanna hear it. You aren’t fizzling out on me. LLOYD You still haven’t told me where you got the key. (CONTINUED)
  • 31. CONTINUED: 31. FRANCIS Let’s just say I got it from someone I can trust. She’s good for it. Francis lets the key dangle from it’s charm pendent. The charm at the other end is similar to the globe that Mayte wears. LLOYD We have to be careful. I can’t risk my job; it’s the only thing keeping me in my house. FRANCIS What? LLOYD Nothing; just be careful. FRANCIS Well, that’s why I brought these along. Francis tosses Frankenfurter a bag that contains Power Ranger masks. LLOYD This is no time for games Francis! Francis slaps Frankenfurter on the back of his head with the bag of masks. FRANCIS Put it on! It’s to conceal our identity; not have fun. Francis and Frankenfurter crouch as they power walk toward the front door of the science labs. Frankenfurter continuously checks behind him and Francis as Francis thrusts the key into the door. Francis jiggles the key in the slot. LLOYD Come on, come on, hurry. I have a bad feeling about this. FRANCIS A bad feeling about the sand in the vagina? I’d imagine; that’s really gotta hurt.
  • 32. 32. Frankenfurter pushes Francis into the door. This movement jars the door open and both men fall into the inside of the door. INT. SCIENCE LABS - NIGHT FRANCIS Get off me! LLOYD Sorry, sorry, sorry. FRANCIS See this is your problem; don’t be sorry. You may have scared the living shit out of me, but you got us in. LLOYD I don’t follow. FRANCIS Exactly! Don’t follow. You are smart enough to be leading this entire University. Stop being so god damn timid and step up for yourself man. LLOYD I don’t see how this will help us. A flashlight is scene off in the building next to the science labs. Francis pushes the Doctor and himself to the ground. Francis puts his finger up to his mouth. FRANCIS Stay low! We better get what we need before they find out about our after hours study session. Frankenfurter nods his head and the two army crawl into the stairwell. INT. STAIRWELL - NIGHT Francis and the Doctor both gets up from their crawling position and begin climbing the stairs. LLOYD Maybe this is a bit too forward and a few hours too late, but why are you helping me anyway? Why did you want the tutoring in the first place? (CONTINUED)
  • 33. CONTINUED: 33. Frankenfurter stops walking up the stairs and hold Francis back by the shoulder. LLOYD You thought I was a "quack" and then all of a sudden you believe my every word. What’s up? Francis looks down at the ground. FRANCIS I guess I haven’t been frank with you. LLOYD No, you haven’t been Frank, you’ve been Francis. The Doctor chuckles to himself again as Francis shakes his head. FRANCIS Honestly I didn’t see myself here either, but then again I never see myself wherever I end up. Just something has been leading me this way and been telling me it’s the right thing. LLOYD Where were you before? FRANCIS Before I joined the University. The Doctor pushes Francis to the ground as a flashlight passes across the window that faces the outside of the stairwell. The Doctor covers Francis’ mouth as he yelps. Francis bites down on his lip and nods his head. The two men slowly creep up the stairs and enter the third floor. INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT The Doctor and Francis make their way through the hallway by using SWAT team gestures as they enter and exit corridors. The Doctor trips over himself and his Power Ranger mask chips on the bottom corner. Francis helps the Doctor up from the friend and readjusts his mask for him. The Doctor uses his personal key to open the door to his office. The two men enter the office.
  • 34. 34. INT. OFFICE - NIGHT Francis and Frankenfurter rush into the room and Frankenfurter locks the door behind them. Both men remove their Power Ranger masks. FRANCIS That was close. LLOYD Too close. FRANCIS What’s THIS?! Francis points to the mock city setup that is still in the Doctor’s office. LLOYD What? That? Huh, that’s the baby that’s going to give birth to our research. FRANCIS Why is it burnt around the edges? LLOYD Ahhh, yes, that. Well that’s a long story. FRANCIS I’d say this is your classic case of dreams going up in flames. And I’d suspect... Francis leans in toward the edge of the display where no burn marks are present. FRANCIS You put a wee bit too much polyurethane. Frankenfurter puts his hands on his hips and sighs as Francis walks around the office. The walls have more of the Doctor’s sketches and drawings of the human brain. Francis scratches his chin. FRANCIS It’s all starting to make sense...your case that is. (CONTINUED)
  • 35. CONTINUED: 35. LLOYD My case? What do you mean my case? FRANCIS Your life mission, this brain thing. It makes sense to me; I don’t know how, but it makes sense. LLOYD Pray tell me, what is my case? Francis turns back around, facing the Doctor. Francis takes two steps forward. FRANCIS So you grow up to be some scientist who happens to love the brain. And you’re smart...you’re too smart. Francis begins to pace back and forth in room while he talks. Frankenfurter twists his hair, listening to Francis. FRANCIS In fact you are so smart that your colleagues don’t believe you. This thing over here is what you spend your life on and the others can’t stand it. LLOYD I’m honored kid, but I think you’re over exaggerating... FRANCIS Ohhh, shut up! Learn how to take a compliment for once. Well, maybe you really aren’t that smart. But the thing you got on that table there, it’s smart, but it’s beyond them. You need me Doc. You need me to wake these nerd-lingers up. LLOYD Nerd-lingers? FRANCIS Nerd-lingers Doc, nerd-lingers. LLOYD As much as I envy your passion son, I just can’t mustard the courage to bring this disaster back to the public. (CONTINUED)
  • 36. CONTINUED: 36. FRANCIS What makes it so bad? What does it do? The Doctor walks over to the display and turns a light on it. Francis gets close to Frankenfurter as Frankenfurter points at spots on the display. LLOYD The idea was fairly simple. We would use our brain power to feed the power in the town. The Doctor looks at Francis. Francis laughs. LLOYD Why do you laugh?! It’s possible, it really is! FRANCIS Doc, doc...haha, I’m sorry, it’s just, power, our brains, bahahaha. Half of the people I camped with would be lucky to power a Christmas light. LLOYD It was going to be a collective effort. Towns would be self-sufficient. I found out that the brain was programmable. The Doctor and Francis move from the fake display to a work bench where more diagrams of the brain are showing. LLOYD The brain has these three sections... The Doctor points to three particular points on the piece of paper with the brain. LLOYD These three sections, when stimulated with the proper electronic wavelength have the ability to be programmed. FRANCIS Wait, what? Are you telling me I could make you watch Jersey Shore? (CONTINUED)
  • 37. CONTINUED: 37. LLOYD All two, brain numbing seasons. Francis shivers. LLOYD I was able to connect my computer to the electrical device and sent brain messages to a rat. I was able to get a rat to learn algebra. Francis is shown footage from an old time film reel. A rat has a small metal hat on. The rat tries to run through a maze and does not make it through. Anonymous hands from a lab coat are shown typing on a keyboard. The rat twitches and then makes it through the maze in one run. The rat is then sitting in a small seat. The same hands draw on a miniature chalkboard. The rat pushes pieces of rice krispies around the room. The number does not equal the same number on the board. The hands are shown typing on the keyboard again. The rat then moves the rice krispies again; the number is the same. FRANCIS Holy molly, Angelina Jolie. LLOYD There is more. Footage is shown of the rat dribbling a miniature basketball. The rat runs a fast break and dunks the ball. LLOYD I was on the cusp of something. I knew brain control would be frowned upon, so I used my information and produced a hypothesis to use the software in a reverse fashion. Have the electronic wavelengths come back to be harnessed into power. FRANCIS I have no idea how the hell you did that, but that was the coolest thing since Nintendo 64 came out in multiple colors. The Doctor smacks Francis in the back of the head. A creaking door is heard. The Doctor and Francis looks around frantically. (CONTINUED)
  • 38. CONTINUED: 38. FRANCIS Ugh, did you hear that? LLOYD Yeah, let’s get what we need and go. The two tip toe out of the Doctor’s office. INT. LABORATORY - NIGHT Francis and the Doctor burst into the science laboratory. Both men fall to the ground and get up holding a pretend gun. LLOYD You OK? FRANCIS Yeah, you see anyone? LLOYD We’re clear. Francis moves to one side of the room while the Doctor heads toward the other side. Both men begin putting various equipment from the room into their black backpacks. Francis finds a large beaker and his eyes widen. The Doctor begins to wrap rubber tubing around his waist. He ties the rubber into a knot. Francis finds a random powdery substance and sweeps it into a pouch in the bag. Francis shrugs as some of it gets on the floor. LLOYD You good Francis? FRANCIS Think so. LLOYD You find any subject matter? FRANCIS Subject matter? LLOYD Test subjects. FRANCIS What?! (CONTINUED)
  • 39. CONTINUED: 39. LLOYD Brains, BRAINS! Did you find any freaking brains. FRANCIS I already told you, I ain’t no zombie. The Doctor sighs as Francis flashes a smile and winks at the Doctor. FRANCIS Nothin’ Doc. This place is bone dry. LLOYD There has got to be something! The door to the laboratory swings open suddenly. A UNIVERSITY GUARD in a blue suit charges in. The university guard holds up a gun. The Doctor and Francis immediately put their Power Ranger masks back on. UNIVERSITY GUARD Alright, everyone on the ground now! Both men raise their hands up high. UNIVERSITY GUARD Zordon won’t be saving you this time you pesky rangers. The university guard begins to make a move for Francis and his cuffs when he shoots his gun off at the ceiling. UNIVERSITY GUARD Darn it! FRANCIS Move! Francis runs toward the Doctor and pushes him along through the door. The university guard taps his ear. UNIVERSITY GUARD Hey! You! STOP! FRANCIS (whispering) Keep movin’ Doc!
  • 40. 40. INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT The Doctor and Francis stumble out of the laboratory and begin sprinting through the hallway. The material from the laboratory is not properly secured and some of the glass falls out of the bag and breaks behind the two running characters. The university guard comes running out and shoot his gun again. UNIVERSITY GUARD Ohhhh boy, this is going to be one long report. The Doctor and Francis run through the stairwell and stumble out the front door of the science lab building. The university security sits down after his second shot. He puts his gun in his holster. He puts his hands on his head. He looks to the left of the lab doors. UNIVERSITY GUARD What’s this? The university guard grabs a piece of the broken Power Ranger mask. UNIVERSITY GUARD Damn Rangers!!! INT. CALIFORNIA HOUSE - DAY MR. BLACON and MRS. BLACON are wearing white tennis shorts, white polo shirts, and white tennis shoes. Mrs. Blacon is also wearing a white visor. The two laugh and embrace as they walk into their house. The two laugh. Mr. Blacon looks toward the wall phone. A light is blinking on the phone. MR. BLACON That’s funny, I don’t remember there being a message... Mrs. Blacon goes over to the phone and presses the blinking lights. MR. BLACON (V.O.) Hi, you’ve reached the Blacon residence. We aren’t in right now, probably on the yacht. Please leave your name and a detailed message and we’ll try and get back to you... (CONTINUED)
  • 41. CONTINUED: 41. MRS. BLACON That’s weird. Nothing... JORDAN (V.O.) ...Hello? This message is for the parents of a Francis Blacon. It might interest you to find out about what your son is up to... The Blacon parents gather around the phone and hold each others shoulders as the message continues. EXT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - DAWN Doctor Frankenfurter turns the car down his street. Francis is snoring in the passenger seat. The Doctor looks over at Francis and then hits Francis in the chest. Francis wakes up and coughs. FRANCIS Not pretty Ms. Penelope and the unicorns! LLOYD What in the hell? FRANCIS Sorry. I’ve been having weird dreams lately. LLOYD Weird is a good way to put it. Regardless, we’re finally home. I still don’t know how we made it. FRANCIS That’s not our worry. What we should worry about is the fact that we don’t even have the one object we need to even get this project rolling again. LLOYD A brain. I know. I’ve been thinking of alternatives or other ways of obtaining one the whole way home. FRANCIS What about the morgue? LLOYD I told you...those bodies have been dead for too long. I need a brain (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 42. CONTINUED: 42. LLOYD (cont’d) that is either in a live subject or one from a subject that has JUST passed away. FRANCIS If only that university guard... LLOYD Don’t even suggest it. We aren’t going to sacrifice anyone. FRANCIS Pf ft. Francis looks out the window. A police car is waiting outside Frankenfurter’s neighbor’s house. The house is taped up with police tape. LLOYD Mr. Wellington? The Doctor drives his car into his driveway. Both men stare at the building as they see an officer walk out the front door with some papers. He enters his police car and speeds off. Francis and the Doctor exit the vehicle all while still staring at the house with police tape. A woman in a purple and blue running suit and purple headband comes running down the sidewalk. Doctor Frankenfurter scurries up to ELLEN the jogger. LLOYD Ellen, Ellen, what in science is going on? ELLEN Lloyd, it’s good to see you. Ellen smiles and Lloyd blushes. ELLEN Did you hear about Bob? LLOYD Bob Wellington? Ellen nods. ELLEN Mhmm. Apparently he came home to find his wife, ugh, pleasing another man. Francis walks over. (CONTINUED)
  • 43. CONTINUED: 43. ELLEN He was absolutely devastated. It was his best friend...’s son. LLOYD & FRANCIS Shiiiiiiiiiit. ELLEN Well the best is yet to come. LLOYD How’d he die? ELLEN That’s the weird part. So the boy and Bob’s wife jump out of the bed. The boy runs for the door and Bob runs after him. Bob slips on the kid’s skateboard and gets his tie caught in the doorway. The whiplash and the tightness of his tie led him to suffocate to death. FRANCIS Damn! LLOYD Oh, my, poor Bob. He just began working on the that grant research. When did this all happen? ELLEN Oh, I don’t know. Must have been an hour ago at most. I was making my mocha milky protein shake when I heard some yelling. Next thing I know I see some eighteen year old’s johnson flailing outside the Wellington’s house. Francis laughs. ELLEN After that the boy stopped and I saw him go back inside as the woman let out a blood curling scream. LLOYD Awful, just awful. ELLEN I know; I’ll never wash out the image of that kid’s penis. It’s not (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 44. CONTINUED: 44. ELLEN (cont’d) like it’s child pornography, but jeez Louise. LLOYD I’m sorry Ellen. ELLEN Aw, it’s OK Lloydy Bear. Francis raises his eyebrows. ELLEN I better keep up my jog or I’ll fall behind. Be sure to keep in touch OK? LLOYD Of course Ellen, be safe. ELLEN I don’t skateboard. Ellen winks at Lloyd as he blushes. She begins to jog back down the street. She waddles like a duck as she jogs. Francis walks over to Lloyd who is watching Ellen. Francis puts his arm around Lloyd’s shoulder. FRANCIS Lloydy Bear, eh? Francis laughs and Lloyd blushes more. FRANCIS Something struck me other than your Lance Romance tendencies... LLOYD Oh yeah? FRANCIS Yeah. We got ourselves a test subject. Francis twists Frankenfurter’s head toward Bob Wellington’s taped off house. Francis smiles as Lloyd begins to smile too.
  • 45. 45. INT. WELLINGTON HOUSE - DAY The Doctor and Francis burst in through the back door of Mr. Wellington’s house. Francis taps the Doctor on his back and points toward the front door. There are footsteps coming down the stairs. POLICE OFFICER 1 and POLICE OFFICER 2 walk down the steps. POLICE OFFICER 1 Talk about a terrible way to go. POLICE OFFICER 2 Ha! Prick had it coming. Guy ran red lights like it was his job. POLICE OFFICER 1 The door was his final red light. POLICE OFFICER 2 Yeah, do not pass go, do not collect two-hundred dollars. POLICE OFFICER 1 Ding-Dong, your wife is gone. POLICE OFFICER 2 Five, six...look out for the little kid f’n your wife with his dick! The two officers laugh as they walk out the front door of Mr. Wellington’s house. The second officer takes a large swig of his cup of coffee. The second officer throws his empty coffee cup up in the air. The first officer swats the coffee cup mid air to have it fall on the lawn of Mr. Wellington. Francis and the Doctor roll their eyes. Francis taps on the Doctor’s shoulder and motions him toward the stairs. FRANCIS Up there... The Doctor and Francis tip toe their way through Wellington’s living room. Bob Wellington’s old basset hound sleeps on the floor in the middle of the room. The dog snores. Francis walks into a lamp while smirking at the snoring dog. The Doctor grabs the lamp before it falls off the table. LLOYD Francis! Focus! (CONTINUED)
  • 46. CONTINUED: 46. FRANCIS Sorry. Francis wipes his forward and looks back at the dog to smirk again. The Doctor and Francis tip toe up the stairs. Photographs of an angry Bob Wellington and a sad Mrs. Wellington line the stairway. Francis and the Doctor walk down the hallway toward the last room on the floor. The door is slightly open. LLOYD I hope we aren’t too late. If we mess this up we are going to the streets tonight. Francis shivers. FRANCIS Do you mean? LLOYD Yes, but let’s not discuss that. FRANCIS As creepy as it sounds; at least you’re gaining a backbone. The Doctor smacks Francis in the back of the head. Francis opens the partially opened door to reveal a body on the ground, right inside the doorway. As Francis opens the door, the tie becomes unhinged from the door and the body makes a thumping sound as it hits the floor. The Doctor and Francis step back at the sound. LLOYD Focus, dammit! The Doctor smacks Francis once more. The two men circle around the dead body. The Doctor lifts Bob Wellington’s head up and pushes his fingers toward the neck of Bob. The Doctor pulls out a pen and begins to write on particular parts of Bob’s face. FRANCIS As much as this looks like a good time to play Crayola... Francis takes a look out of the windows in the room. He uses his fingers to peer through the blinds. The police officers are walking back toward the front door. Their conversation is muted. (CONTINUED)
  • 47. CONTINUED: 47. FRANCIS But we got company. The Doctor rushes up from his spot on the ground and joins Francis by the window. LLOYD Crap! Francis takes the Doctor and pushes him under the bed. Francis rushes back to the window. The police officers are now walking into the house. Francis looks around the room. Francis runs into Mrs. Wellington’s closet. The police officers enter the Wellington’s room. POLICE OFFICER 2 Aw shit, did we let the stiff fall on the way out? POLICE OFFICER 1 Naw, his stiffy fell off when he saw his wife banging that young guy. The Doctor glances over at Francis in the closet who shares a stare back. POLICE OFFICER 2 Incredible...never a dull moment. Who was the youth anyway? POLICE OFFICER 1 One of those squatters from Wall Street. Kid followed home this guy from work, Wellington, or whatever. POLICE OFFICER 2 Yeah? POLICE OFFICER 1 Yeah, well, apparently the kid wanted to set up a new camp in the backyard with his rambunctious group, but the wife finds the kid setting up outside. She invites him inside and they start going at it. POLICE OFFICER 2 How’d the husband know? POLICE OFFICER 1 He doesn’t. Get this; some guy from those Wall Streeters outs this (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 48. CONTINUED: 48. POLICE OFFICER 1 (cont’d) other guy so that the husband finds out and comes home to raise hell. In his fury the one percent ends up using one percent of his brain and chokes himself out in retaliation to his wife being pounded. Police Officer 2 looks over at the closet door. POLICE OFFICER 2 I don’t remember that being open. POLICE OFFICER 1 What do you mean? POLICE OFFICER 2 I don’t recall seeing the Mrs.’ collection. The Doctor begins to sweat as he sees Francis close his eyes and tighten his body. POLICE OFFICER 2 Something’s up here... POLICE OFFICER 1 Yeah, now you got the stiffy. POLICE OFFICER 2 I just... As Police Officer 2 reaches for the door to the closet a buzz comes over on his intercom. ANONYMOUS VOICE (V.O.) Attention all units, attention all units. Please report to the Metropolitan Museum immediately. I repeat please report to the Metropolitan Museum immediately. We are requesting all officers on scene. POLICE OFFICER 2 Fuckin’ squatters again. POLICE OFFICER 1 They may be part of the ninety-nine percent, but they sure as hell act like the one percent. (CONTINUED)
  • 49. CONTINUED: 49. POLICE OFFICER 2 Let’s go. Police Officer 2 turns and pushes Police Officer 1 ahead of him out of the room. The two officers continue to chat as they leave the room. Francis comes out of the closet wearing one of Mrs. Wellington’s dresses. He runs over to the window and watches the police leaving in their car. The Doctor gets out from under the bed and stands up. A condom is laying on top of Frankenfurter’s head. LLOYD Get out of that silly garb. FRANCIS Ughhhh, Doc, you, ugh, got something on your head. LLOYD What? What is it? The Doctor puts his hand on top of his head. He pats around the condom on top of his head. His eyes follow his hand. He pats the condom and pulls it off his head and slowly puts it in front of his eyes. LLOYD Ahhh!!! FRANCIS Hahaha!!! The Doctor takes the condom and throws it on top of the bed. The Doctor runs into the accompanying bathroom and turns the faucet on full blast. FRANCIS What’s wrong Doc? Got something on your mind? Francis begins to laugh again. LLOYD Stop it! Frankenfurter comes out of the bathroom with a towel around his hand. He wipes down his head with the towel. LLOYD Now are you going to help me or are you just going to stand there and make yourself look pretty? (CONTINUED)
  • 50. CONTINUED: 50. Francis takes a step over to the mirror and begins to look at his figure while flashing his eyelashes. FRANCIS Well it would be an awful shame to not put this dress to use. If looks could kill. LLOYD If they could kill, then you’d start a genocide. FRANCIS HA-HA, very funny. How do you suggest we get this big lug over to your place? The Doctor smirks at Francis as he looks toward the back window FRANCIS Oh, no! EXT. WELLINGTON HOUSE - DAY Francis stands outside the window in which the Doctor was looking at. He holds out his hands and consistently looks up and then around him. FRANCIS (whispering) Alright Doc, I’m ready. Bring down the bait. LLOYD Stick to the plan. FRANCIS Yeah, yeah, yeah. You use your brains, I use my brawn. LLOYD Please, that’s not the plan. FRANCIS I know, I know. Just get going; the school bus will be coming for the little kids soon. LLOYD Alright... (CONTINUED)
  • 51. CONTINUED: 51. The Doctor walks away from the window and then returns with a large white rug that is wrapped around the dead body of Bob Wellington. The carpet is held together with twine. The Doctor slowly pushes the rug out of the window. FRANCIS Slow now, we don’t want him to come crashing down. Use the pulley. LLOYD (grunting) Yup, yup, yup. The Doctor continues to slide the body out. The majority of the body is out when it begins to fall. The Doctor immediately grabs hold of the rope/twine. The body swings from the top floor. Bob Wellington’s dead body smacks up against the foundation of the house a few times. This noise gains the attention of a small baby who is out in a stroller with his mother. His mother is on a cell phone talking. The baby points to the swinging body and laughs. FRANCIS Jesus, Doc, what did I say? LLOYD Sorry...here comes the head... The Doctor continues to lower the body of Bob Wellington. The little baby in the stroller continues to point as Francis begins to take hold of the body. The mother continues to chat. FRANCIS Alright, I’m good. Cut the string. The Doctor cuts the string for the body. Francis grabs hold of the body and falls down. The baby begins to giggle and jump up and down. The Doctor shuts the window and runs down the stairs and outside to where Francis is. The Doctor helps Francis up by grabbing one half of the body. Francis gets up and the two men begin to walk in separate directions while holding the body. This causes both men to fall down. The baby lets out a large amount of laughter and the mother looks over, but Francis and the Doctor are on the ground, unseen. The mother looks away. Both men get up and grab the body again. LLOYD This way. The Doctor and Francis walk toward the Doctor’s house while holding Bob Wellington’s dead body in the rolled up carpet. The baby smiles and claps his hands as the men disappear.
  • 52. 52. INT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - DAY The Doctor and Francis get inside Frankenfurter’s home with the dead body. Francis immediately drops the body once inside. Francis walks toward the refrigerator and opens it to grab a drink. LLOYD Thanks for the help FRANCIS Yeah, not a problem Doc. But to tell ya the truth; I don’t know about all of this. LLOYD Know about what? FRANCIS Why I am even doing this with you. To tell you the truth I was only taking your class to get in touch with a girl. Yet all I’ve been able to do is get caught up in your crazy science experiments. LLOYD You’ve learned something though; haven’t you? FRANCIS Yeah, how to break into school buildings and steal the body of a dead man. I mean what the hell are we even going to do with that body?! LLOYD Simple my friend... The Doctor walks back toward the body of Bob Wellington. LLOYD We will take this man’s brain and finish off what I was unable to do. We will use his brain as a display for the manipulation theory that I propose...the Brain Software Theorem. FRANCIS Sounds good and all, but I think this is my queue to exit. You got (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 53. CONTINUED: 53. FRANCIS (cont’d) the rest of it Doc. I got other things to focus on. LLOYD Suit yourself Francis. I thank you for more than you can imagine. You helped immensely when it came to getting the materials together, but you’ve inspired me in other ways Francis. FRANCIS Inspired? LLOYD Yes, you’ve given me a lot to think about. I hadn’t dreamed of unearthing my research again. But it was that day you came into my office that I knew we were fated to do something. The University has been following my record as a teacher. That day you bumped into me and something glittered about you in my classroom. FRANCIS Glow? LLOYD Yes, son. I can’t explain it, but there is something about you. I’m sorry we can’t continue our studies together. It’s a shame because you carry yourself very well Mr. Blacon. All while Doctor Frankenfurter is talking, Francis has left through the back door. The Doctor turns his back toward Francis again to find that he is not there. LLOYD There is still hope; I must keep the faith. The Doctor then begins to drag the body of Bob Wellington down the stairs of his basement.
  • 54. 54. EXT. CAMPUS - DAY Francis walks up the steps of the University to where a couple of pay phones are. A person keeps checking for change inside one of the phones. Francis waits outside the stall. The person looks back at Francis and then back at the stall. Francis sighs and moves to the next phone. Francis dials a number. ANONYMOUS VOICE (V.O.) Hello? FRANCIS Mom? MRS. BLACON (V.O.) Francis, is that you? Francis leans his back against the side of the phone stall. FRANCIS Yeah mom, it’s me, Francis. MRS. BLACON (V.O.) Oh Francis, Francis! We haven’t heard from you in some time. Honey, Francis is on the phone! MR. BLACON (V.O.) The wonder child himself? MRS. BLACON (V.O.) Oh, Franklin, do behave please. Francis, where are you? I hear people. FRANCIS Yeah mom, there happens to be other people in New York City with me. What a strange world. MRS. BLACON (V.O.) Now don’t be fresh with me young man; we’ve been worried sick about you. Where are you? Did you get our letter? FRANCIS Yes, I got your heartwarming letter. (CONTINUED)
  • 55. CONTINUED: 55. MR. BLACON (V.O.) Francis, Francis this is your father. Can you hear me? FRANCIS Loud and clear pops. MR. BLACON (V.O.) Good. We love you son and we care about you. We don’t mean to send you an ultimatum, but we really have no choice. FRANCIS What do you mean? MR. BLACON (V.O.) Your mother and I have decided to move out of the country to start a new life. The investment bank did so well that I don’t dare spend another moment in this nation. There have been some weird smelling hippies sleeping outside in our pool patio...Our pool patio Francis! FRANCIS Oh, the horror. What does your moving have to do with me? MR. BLACON (V.O.) We’ve been supporting you ever since you left this house. MRS. BLACON (V.O.) We’ve slowly been transferring our money over to a European account. The exchange rate is just too much for us to comprehend, so we’re going to have to cut our ties with American interests. FRANCIS Let me guess I’m your American interest?! MRS. BLACON & MR. BLACON (V.O.) We love... Francis hangs up the phone mid conversation. Francis puts his hands up to his face and covers his eyes. He rubs his forehead and looks at the person who continues to check the coin slots for money. Francis looks down. (CONTINUED)
  • 56. CONTINUED: 56. MAYTE Well hey there stranger; long time, no see. Mayte walks from behind the telephone booth and hugs Francis. She wears a globe pendent on her blouse that catches Francis’ eye. Mayte hugs Francis MAYTE Uh oh, something wrong. That squeeze felt empty. What’s up buttercup? FRANCIS Awww, nothing. I just have a lot of nothing going on. MAYTE Nothing? I thought you were working with Doctor Frankenfurter on that project of his? FRANCIS Huh? What? How did you know that? I thought no one knew. MAYTE (giggling) Word travels fast in this universe...surprisingly. Mayte takes Francis by the arm and pulls him away from the telephone booth. The two walk side by side. MAYTE So, c’mon, what’s wrong? I can tell you aren’t your usual rebellious self. FRANCIS Rebellious? HA! I wish that word actually applied to me and wasn’t just a desire for me. MAYTE What are you saying? I thought you were a big part in Jordan’s plan to bring down the yuppies. FRANCIS Please...Jordan doesn’t even know what he is fighting for. He’s just pissed that he was turned down for (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 57. CONTINUED: 57. FRANCIS (cont’d) the Walker Marchant job so he felt the best way to deal with it was bitch and moan. I got sick of that. MAYTE You seem to get sick of things quickly. Is that what happened to you and Frankenfurter? Francis stops walking. Mayte stops and turns to him. FRANCIS I never told you that I left the Doctor. MAYTE You did. You said nothing was going on and I somehow doubt the Doctor would be doing "nothing" for a project. FRANCIS Well, it’s not that we aren’t doing much...It’s just we aren’t getting much accomplished. Francis takes Mayte by the hand and the two sit down on a bench next to the Science Labs. FRANCIS We’re screwed really. Doc is going to get evicted and my parents are cutting off their ties with me. Soon there won’t be much for us to do, let alone study. MAYTE I see... Mayte furiously shuffles through her bag. Francis watches as she hands a paper over to him. MAYTE Here...this is what you need. Read it. Francis looks down at the paper and begins to read. FRANCIS "The University proudly invites you to the annual Science Showcase Symposium. Please bring your (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 58. CONTINUED: 58. FRANCIS (cont’d) scientific showcase to the Science Labs on June 1st for a chance to win a grant and jobs to the new government science program." Francis’ jaw drops. MAYTE I think you got some work to do tiger. Francis folds the paper in half and throws it in his jacket pocket. Francis gets up from the bench and begins to run away. Mayte smiles as Francis rushes back and plants a kiss on Mayte’s cheek. FRANCIS Thanks! Francis then runs from campus. EXT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - NIGHT Doctor Frankenfurter has Bob Wellington’s body propped up on an operating table in the basement of his house. The Doctor has all of the beakers and scientific equipment setup that he stole from the Science Labs with Francis. The Doctor has also set up his old display that failed at the previous Science Showcase Symposium. There is a knock at the door. LLOYD Coming! The Doctor begins to clean up some of his work. He puts away blueprints in a desk. More knocking at the door. LLOYD I’m coming! Jinkies... The Doctor then takes a large, white tablecloth and covers the entire body of Bob Wellington. Heavier, and longer knocks on the door. LLOYD To the power of infinite, I’m coming! The Doctor grabs the door knob and opens the door. Francis is standing at the Doctor’s door holding the Science Showcase Symposium paper that Mayte gave him. (CONTINUED)
  • 59. CONTINUED: 59. LLOYD Ahhh, it’s you Francis. What is this?! The Doctor grabs the sheet from Francis as Francis walks in the door. FRANCIS It’s something Mayte gave me. It’s for us; it’s our chance to put ole’ Wellington to work. LLOYD But I thought you thought this was stupid? FRANCIS I didn’t say that. I just didn’t know what we could do with our work, but now I know. The Symposium! If we win I can finally show the people in my life that I care about something. And you, you can get revenge on those who laughed at you last year! Doctor Frankenfurter sighs and sits down on his sofa. LLOYD But don’t you see Francis? They will only laugh at me more, and will you really care about this? Or do you want to mask the idea that you care to someone else? FRANCIS Doc, I’ll be straight with you. I don’t care about this neuron or that electron, but there is one thing scientific that I do care about. LLOYD And that’s...? FRANCIS You, Doc, you. The Doctor coughs up some milk. Frankenfurter grabs a napkin and cleans up his spill. (CONTINUED)
  • 60. CONTINUED: 60. LLOYD What do you mean, me? FRANCIS You’re the only one who has given me a chance. My folks push me and coddle me, push me and coddle me. I don’t get it. All my friends use me for their own good, but you, you actually work with me Doc. The Doctor puts his arm around Francis. LLOYD You’re a smart child. I knew it, even if you were clumsy walking around college corridors. The Doctor and Francis share a laugh. FRANCIS So what do ya say Doc? One more go? LLOYD One more go... FRANCIS Let’s program em! The Doctor and Francis share a firm handshake. Both men get up from the couch and then rush to the basement door. INT. BASEMENT - NIGHT Francis and the Doctor crowd around the table holding Bob Wellington’s dead body. The Doctor takes off the white cloth to unveil Bob’s body. FRANCIS Let me guess...you haven’t got the brain out yet? The Doctor shakes his head and pulls up a large electric saw. He turns it on and the blade begins to spin. FRANCIS Oh, boy! Francis puts on some clear goggles. Blood gets on Francis’ body and then on his face and goggles. The cap of the head pops off, but we can only hear it. Francis gags. (CONTINUED)
  • 61. CONTINUED: 61. LLOYD And now, the sticky part...c’mon brain... The Doctor picks at the brain and pulls it out onto the table. Francis begins to gag again and runs into the bathroom where he vomits. EXT. FRANKENFURTER HOUSE - NIGHT The Doctor and Francis are outside next to the gas range that feeds into the house. LLOYD We need that gas to feed the bunsen burners. I don’t have nearly enough canisters to run our tests. FRANCIS Now you’re talking my language. LLOYD We just need to reroute that gas tank into the basement. FRANCIS Easy, peasy. Step aside Doc. Francis moves the Doctor to the side as he gets on his knees. Francis detaches a house from the gas tank outside. FRANCIS And attach that to this... Francis attaches the rubber house to a pipe outside of Frankenfurter’s house. The connection sets off a gas flame that shoots out the other end of the pipe. FRANCIS Shit! LLOYD Oh, dear! Both men jump on the rubber hose to secure the flame from spreading. FRANCIS Maybe it was the other one? Francis secures the hose on the other pipe. The gas seeps into the house pipe fine. (CONTINUED)
  • 62. CONTINUED: 62. LLOYD (sarcastically) Perhaps... The Doctor hits Francis on the head and the two laugh. INT. BASEMENT - NIGHT The Doctor paints polyurethane onto a piece of wood. FRANCIS That gonna be the display? LLOYD The one and only. FRANCIS Do you never learn? LLOYD What? Francis walks over to the Doctor and his new display. Francis strikes a piece of flint above the display. A tiny spark slowly trickles down to the display. Once the spark hits the table, the table rises with flames. LLOYD Not again! Francis runs to grab a fire extinguisher. Francis points the extinguisher over the flames and turns on the device. Doctor Frankenfurter is covered in the retardant. Francis pulls out a can from his backpack. LLOYD Liquid fiberglass? Francis smiles and nods. FRANCIS Precisely. LLOYD You learned something from my class! FRANCIS What do you think I was doing? Reading Batman and staring off at Mayte? (CONTINUED)
  • 63. CONTINUED: 63. LLOYD Well I know you stared off at Mayte, but Spiderman would be your choice of comics. FRANCIS Touche, Doc, touche. The Doctor goes back to the table with the brain while Francis coats the display table with the liquid fiberglass. INT. KITCHEN - DAWN Francis is wearing a kitchen apron and cooking some pancakes and bacon. The door to the basement opens with smoke coming from inside. The Doctor walks from behind the smoke. LLOYD What are you doing Francis? Francis whistles and slams a pancake back on the griddle. FRANCIS You telling me all that sawing, burning, and painting didn’t make you hungry? LLOYD BRAINS! FRANCIS Huh? Francis looks at the Doctor while he uses his other hand to grab the pancake batter. Francis’ hand reaches for a jar that contains Bob Wellington’s brain. Francis begins to tip the jar toward the skillet when Francis turns his head. FRANCIS Whoaaa! Francis puts the jar back on the table. FRANCIS Now that would have stunk. LLOYD All of our work for nothing! I know, you gotta be careful son. FRANCIS I meant the smell. I mean it already stunk ripping Bob apart; I (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 64. CONTINUED: 64. FRANCIS (cont’d) doubt his brain would have smelt much better with Vermont maple goodness. The Doctor slaps the back of Francis’ head with the pancake spatula. INT. BASEMENT - DAY Francis and Doctor Frankenfurter sit down at a table in the basement. In the center of the table is the brain inside the jar. Both men have there arms on the table, supporting their heads. FRANCIS Now what? LLOYD We have the theory; and we can show how it works. But I don’t know why. FRANCIS Can’t we just say, "here, now you find out." LLOYD That would defeat the whole purpose of our project Francis. We need to own this project or else we will be the laughing stock of the symposium. Why and how is our brain so easily programmable? Both men frown as they continue to stare at the brain. FRANCIS I mean we could just use our theory and control the brains of the entire audience. LLOYD Yeah, that would go well... FRANCIS True. If it’s anything like your last one, we’d be tried in front of a jury of our peers for a mass homicide. The Doctor smirks at Francis. A cortex on the brain glows. (CONTINUED)
  • 65. CONTINUED: 65. FRANCIS I wonder...THAT! Francis points to the glowing spot on the brain. FRANCIS That looks like something I’ve seen before. LLOYD Are you talking about that lobe over there? FRANCIS Yeah. LLOYD I see it, I see it. The Doctor comes next to Francis with his scalpel and begins to cut into the cortex that glows. LLOYD There is something underneath it. The Doctor makes a small incision, but all of a sudden the cortex opens as if it acting like a machine. The Doctor immediately removes his scalpel from the brain. The brain lobe opens up to resemble the pendent that Mayte wears. FRANCIS What the? LLOYD Ahhh, MY SON! This is just as I expected! The hardware that powers the software! AI...Artificial Intelligence!!! We have our key Francis! WE HAVE OUR EXPLANATION! Francis grabs his jacket and puts it on as he runs up the stairs from the basement. LLOYD Where are you headed? FRANCIS I just realized something I had to do! I’m sorry Doc. I’ll be at the Symposium this weekend! (CONTINUED)
  • 66. CONTINUED: 66. LLOYD Francis! Francis stops at the top of the basement stairs. LLOYD Thank you. The Doctor smiles at Francis. Francis smiles back and then turns around to run out the door. EXT. FRANKENFURTER YARD - DAY Francis runs out the door to Frankenfurter’s house. Francis gets to the end of lawn when he turns back around and looks back at the front door. JORDAN Well, well, well. Francis turns back around. Jordan is standing next to a tree in the dark. Jordan is holding something. FRANCIS Jordan, shit man, I didn’t see you there. JORDAN You haven’t seen me that much at all Francis. FRANCIS Yeah, busy with school and shit. How’s the movement going? JORDAN Stop the bullshit. You didn’t care then and you don’t care now. FRANCIS Then why the hell are you here? Jordan walks a few steps closer to Francis. Jordan is holding the a chipped piece from the power rangers mask. Jordan throws it on the ground in front of Francis. FRANCIS The fuck? JORDAN Thought you could make it out untouched? I TOLD you that you would regret backstabbing me and the operation. (CONTINUED)
  • 67. CONTINUED: 67. FRANCIS First off, I don’t know what the hell this mask has to do with me. Second, I never back stabbed you. You were boring, you were repetitive. You were glib. JORDAN Don’t play stupid with me. You damn well know what I’m talking about. The Science Labs. Your love with this Doctor Lloyd Frankenfurter guy. You can’t hide your crimes. Francis turns away from the conversation. FRANCIS (muttering) I thought no one saw us. JORDAN Think again comrade. FRANCIS It doesn’t matter; your threats don’t matter and you don’t have enough proof anyway. JORDAN You still don’t get it do you?! I will stop at nothing for my cause Francis. You are now a pawn in my mission. You are no different than those suits and ties on Wall Street. No different than Wellington and that stupid squatter. You are just another step in my journey. You have no other option other than to join the group again. FRANCIS I would NEVER do that! The Doctor has given me everything. I found meaning. I’ve found a girl. Everything just makes sense finally. Jordan puts his arm around Francis. JORDAN So you think... (CONTINUED)
  • 68. CONTINUED: 68. FRANCIS What does that mean? JORDAN You’re still the same lost soul that joined our movement. At least then you had some guidance under me. What have you accomplished with this Doctor? FRANCIS We’ve... JORDAN Signed up for a science fair. You’ve graduated eighth grade...congratulations. FRANCIS What does my life matter to you anyway?! JORDAN You see Francis, I don’t want you to make the wrong choice... FRANCIS What do you mean? Jordan takes his arm off of Francis’ shoulders and walks a few steps ahead of Francis. JORDAN I presume he told you about the symposium last year? FRANCIS Up in flames. JORDAN Yeah...so were my dreams of becoming a laboratory assistant. FRANCIS You can’t mean? Jordan turns around to face Francis. He takes both hands and stabilizes Francis by the shoulders. JORDAN Yes, I was Doctor Frankenfurter’s assistant. There isn’t much more to tell you. You know the rest. But (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 69. CONTINUED: 69. JORDAN (cont’d) there is one thing you should know. I will be there this weekend with my warriors. Francis...I don’t want you to become me...I just want you to join me. Francis pats Jordan on the shoulder. Francis smiles. FRANCIS I must be going. See you this weekend...brother. Jordan smiles as Francis turns away and runs toward the bus station. Jordan watches Francis get on the bus. Francis waves goodbye to Jordan. EXT. MAYTE APARTMENT - NIGHT Francis gets off the bus stop in front of a high-rise apartment complex. A CHAUFFEUR stands outside the building. Francis runs up to the man. FRANCIS Is this the Milky Way Apartments? CHAUFFEUR Quite. Francis gives the chauffeur a tip which the chauffeur smiles back. Francis runs inside the revolving doors of the Milky Way Apartments. Francis runs up the flight of stairs inside the building. Francis knocks on door three-hundred and sixteen. No one answers. FRANCIS C’mon, c’mon... Francis knocks more. Francis looks down at the ground and begins to slowly walk away. The door creeks open. Francis turns back. Mayte is standing in the doorway. She is wearing the globe pendent and is glowing within the doorway. FRANCIS Oh yeah, we NEED to talk... Mayte smiles at Francis and winks as Francis enters the door. The door shuts behind the two.
  • 70. 70. INT. SYMPOSIUM - DAY Doctor Frankenfurter wheels his cart down a large hallway. The cart has a large, white cloth on top of it. The Doctor smiles and nods to passing men and women in white lab coats. The Doctor looks inside a large door. In the other room men and women are watching another man in a white lab coat present on some topic. The crowd boos. The GENTLEMAN in the room comes screaming and running out of the room. LLOYD Oh, dear me. GENTLEMAN FAILURE!!!!!!!! The gentleman jumps out of the window at the end of the hallway. The crowd of men and women gasps and screams. The Doctor runs over to the window. He looks out the window. The gentleman lies motionless on the ground. The Occupy group waits outside. EXT. SYMPOSIUM - DAY Jordan raises his hands up and down. The crowd then raises their hands up and down. JORDAN Hey, hey. Ho, ho. This nerdy fat cat stuff has got to go! CROWD Hey, hey. Ho, ho. This nerdy fat cat stuff has got to go! JORDAN Hey, hey. Ho, ho! CROWD This nerdy fat cat stuff has got to go! Jordan continues to pump his fist as he makes his way to the edge of the crowd. A taxi pulls up toward Jordan. The door to the taxi opens and out steps Mr. and Mrs. Blacon. Jordan walks up to the taxi. JORDAN Mr. and Mrs. Blacon I presume? MR. BLACON You would presume correctly. (CONTINUED)
  • 71. CONTINUED: 71. MRS. BLACON Oh, Franklin, we must get out of this grubby area. MR. BLACON We’ll be at the Ritz soon enough. Mrs. Blacon points at Jordan. MRS. BLACON Look out for the homeless man Franklin! JORDAN Please folks, do not worry. Mr. Blacon pulls put a ten dollar bill and puts it in front of Jordan and himself while closing his eyes. MR. BLACON Take it, take it. We don’t want any trouble. JORDAN Please, please folks. My name is Jordan. I spoke with you on the phone. MR. BLACON Ahh right, the gentleman who informed us of Francis’ actions as of late. MRS. BLACON Oh, I remember your voice now. JORDAN I’m expecting him any minute now. He apparently got this entire crowd to show up here. MR. BLACON He truly has become a monster then. Associating with these mongrels. MRS. BLACON The humanity! JORDAN Just sit back for now. The circus will begin soon.

Would Doctor Frankenfurter please report to the presentation stage. I repeat, would Doctor Frankenfurter please report to the presentation stage. LLOYD Oh boy. The Doctor looks down at his watch. LLOYD Where is he? The Doctor grabs his display table and carts it toward the large door. ANONYMOUS VOICE (V.O.) This is a last call for Doctor Frankenfurter and his Theory of Brain Control. LLOYD C’mon Francis. The Doctor wheels his cart into the large room. INT. PRESENTATION ROOM - DAY A large assembly hall contains one section of men and women in white lab coats while another section shows men and women in suits and ties. The older man sits with his board of trustees near the front of the assembly hall. The Doctor notices the older man sitting front row. The older man has a document on his lap that read "Instructor Review". The older man taps on the document and then nods at the Doctor. The Doctor looks away after making eye contact, only to continue setting up his display. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 1 Ohhhh, it’s him again. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 2 At least we get treated to fireworks each year. (CONTINUED)
  • 73. CONTINUED: 73. The Doctor finishes his set up of the display and then turns to the crowd. LLOYD The human brain is one of the most sought after prizes in the human race. What do I mean? I mean the human brain WAS one of the most intricate puzzles that we humans have come to understand. The crowd gasps. LLOYD I’ve come to explain this puzzle to you. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER Just don’t give him any matches. The crowd laughs. LLOYD Although my theory on brain waves powering the nation proved to be fruitless, it nevertheless led the building blocks for me to find out about this discovery... The Doctor then throws the white sheet off his display table. The table has Bob Wellington’s brain on it. Also attached to the brain, via wiring, is a mechanical hand. The other side of the display has a TV on it, displaying the video footage of Frankenfurter’s work with the rats. The crowd gasps again. LLOYD Let me show you how this works... EXT. SYMPOSIUM - DAY Jordan separates from Mr. and Mrs. Blacon and mingles amongst the crowd. JORDAN Brothers, sisters...we must fight the oppression that is this science symposium. I mean what has science ever done for us anyway? ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 1 It got us to the moon. (CONTINUED)
  • 74. CONTINUED: 74. JORDAN That’s what those conservative and liberal yuppies inside would like you to think. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 2 What about evolution? JORDAN Proven wrong. Look at that Doctor in there who created the fire last year! You think he has evolved? He makes the same mistakes this year as in last year... As Jordan is speaking with the crowd a taxi cab pulls up. Mayte and Francis both get out of the cab. They look at the crowd outside the symposium. Mr. and Mrs. Blacon walk up to them. MR. BLACON Francis David Blacon! FRANCIS Dad? MRS. BLACON Francis! Mrs. Blacon runs up and hugs Francis. Mayte extends her hand for a handshake, but Mr. and Mrs. Blacon just coldly stare at her. MR. BLACON You’ve got some explaining to do son. FRANCIS What do you mean? I’m fine. MRS. BLACON Oh, Francis, we know. You don’t have to hide your dirty secrets from us. FRANCIS Alright, what the hell are you talking about? MR. BLACON This sideshow you have going here. You think growing a group of dirty hippies is an accomplishment? (CONTINUED)

The Blacon parents gasp. FRANCIS I don’t know why you are here. I’ve been fine ever since I got your letter. I found out my family is here and not back home in California. MRS. BLACON Don’t say that Francis. FRANCIS You’ve bullied me out of the house in the first place. I found my way, and then you have to come out here and try and take me back? HA! I’m done with you two. Go bake in Europe with the rest of the hypocrites. Francis takes Mayte by the hand, turns his back to his parents and begins walking through the crowd toward the symposium entrance. Mrs. Blacon faints and Mr. Blacon stops her from falling to the ground. Mr. and Mrs. Blacon get inside their taxi. The CAB DRIVER turns around to them. CAB DRIVER Where will it be? MR. BLACON Stay here. We have unfinished business... INT. PRESENTATION ROOM - DAY The Doctor continues his presentation. LLOYD And that was my preliminary analysis with the rat subjects. (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 76. CONTINUED: 76. LLOYD (cont’d) Although this was satisfactory, I was more intrigued with the human brain and it’s intricate emotional displays. The Doctor lights a match. The crowd jumps up and screams. LLOYD For example I was intrigued in the way humans reacted to things. The Doctor puts out the match and smiles. The crowd settles down. LLOYD I wanted to manipulate the way the brain reacts to certain stimuli. Rather than have you all freak out about the match, I would be able to manipulate your brains so that you would calmly watch my presentation. Some of the crowd laughs. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER Are you trying to kill us? LLOYD Lord no! Although I know brain manipulation could be used for bad causes, my intention is for us to harness it’s power to understand more about our evolution. The crowd gives a small clap. LLOYD So, onto our human subject brain. Let me demonstrate to you our...errr...my project. EXT. SYMPOSIUM - DAY Francis and Mayte move toward the front door of the symposium. The crowd bumps into them as chants continue. The door is within sight. JORDAN Where were you this morning? Mayte and Francis turn around to see Jordan. (CONTINUED)
  • 77. CONTINUED: 77. JORDAN You better not be doing what I think you’re doing. FRANCIS Listen Jordan, I’m sick of all of this bullshit with you. You’re just like my parents. Molding me into something I’m not. JORDAN Let’s be honest Francis, you’ve been trying to be me ever since you left your home. You came to me a sniveling little baby who needed something to do. I gave you meaning and purpose and you go and waste your time on some professor...and that slut next to you! Francis tries to punch Jordan but an Occupy member grabs Francis’ fist before it lands. JORDAN Not so fast buddy. This will be over soon enough. A small group of the crowd forms a small circle around Jordan, Francis, and Mayte. The security guards and university guards look into the small circle. Jordan pulls out the Power Ranger mask. One of the university guards who works at the Science Labs sees the mask. JORDAN Soon Francis...everyone will know what you have done. So don’t worry about me. I’d worry about that fresh asshole of yours. Prison will toughen it up. MAYTE You won’t get away with it. JORDAN I did once, what’s to say I can’t again? Jordan then pulls out a can of polyurethane. FRANCIS You bastard! You’re the one who sabotaged the Doctor’s original experiment! (CONTINUED)
  • 78. CONTINUED: 78. JORDAN Funny how the world turns isn’t it? UNIVERSITY GUARD Drop the mask and the drugs you hippie! The University Guard from the Science Labs makes his way through the crowd. He looks at Francis and then Mayte’s pendent glows and he immediately looks at Jordan instead. He walks up to Jordan and maces him in the face. He then pulls his walkie talkie toward his mouth. UNIVERSITY GUARD Ten-four. We have the suspect in custody. The University Guard puts cuffs on Jordan. UNIVERSITY GUARD I think you have a crowd to win over...it doesn’t look good in there. Francis grabs Mayte by the hand and the two run into the Symposium building. INT. PRESENTATION ROOM - DAY Doctor Frankenfurter begins to open the case that has Bob Wellington’s brain. LLOYD With electronic signals sent from a separate device I will be able to make this brain do as I please. The Doctor begins to type into his computer. The brain remains motionless as well as the computer arm. LLOYD (whispering) Maybe I need to change the amplitude? The Doctor goes underneath the table and twists a knob. The crowd begins to chatter amongst themselves. LLOYD By simply typing snap fingers I will make this mechanical robot snap it’s fingers. The Doctor types on the keyboard. Nothing happens. (CONTINUED)

The brain on the table begins to shake violently. LLOYD (muttering) Not again! A member of the crowd jumps onto the ground and covers their head. The rest of the crowd grows restless and some begin to get up and leave. The older man up front shakes his head at Doctor Frankenfurter. Francis and Mayte run in through the front door. FRANCIS DOC! LLOYD Francis! FRANCIS Ready to rock the foundation of Science? LLOYD It looks as though I may already have done so. The table begins to shake violently. Mayte gets underneath the table and turns the knob in the opposite direction. The table slowly stops shaking and the brain comes to a rest. LLOYD What are you doing? We need those electronic waves for the experiment. MAYTE You’ll see. Mayte’s globe pendent glows. LLOYD Oh my! Francis then gets to the top of the podium. (CONTINUED)

Mr. and Mrs. Blacon enter the symposium hall and stand near the back of the hall. FRANCIS Mayte, would you? Mayte goes over to Bob Wellington’s brain and uses a scalpel to open up the three lobes on Wellington’s brain. The globe pendents are exposed inside. FRANCIS Mind control has been around since our inception as a species. These three parts in our brain are neither human nor animal; they are artificial intelligence. Some of the crowd gasps while the rest laughs. FRANCIS The reason why all of our mental diseases and degenerative flaws within the brain have been so difficult to understand is because we were never meant to understand them. Our creators. The entire crowd begins laughing. Mayte’s globe pendent begins to glow. The crowd gasps. A blue iridescent light emits from her globe and moves toward the three lobes on Bob Wellington’s brain. The mechanical hands begins to snap it’s fingers. Mayte closes her eyes to focus. (CONTINUED)
  • 81. CONTINUED: 81. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER Make it clap! Mayte focuses again and the mechanical hand claps. The crowd gasps. FRANCIS Folks the human brain is merely a creation by a race of aliens as beautiful as us, just with a bit more smarts. Francis looks at Mayte and the two wink at each other. The older man jumps up. OLDER MAN This is highly improbable! Frankenfurter you will regret wasting my time and the University’s time on your Star Wars fantasy! You will be sure to hear from the Dean! The older man begins to walk out the door when Mayte focuses on the older man. The blue beam heads toward the older man and he immediately stops at the door. OLDER MAN On second thought; this discovery deserves full tenure and a raise! The crowd begins to applaud the Doctor and Francis. Mayte moves from behind the brain and joins Francis on the podium. MAYTE Unfortunately this is not to be. FRANCIS What? MAYTE The information that you all possess now would greatly affect our plans for this world. I hope our time here has served you all well. FRANCIS Our? The Doctor then moves up to the podium next to Mayte and Francis. The Doctor puts his arm around the shoulder of Francis and looks at him. Francis’ jaw drops. (CONTINUED)
  • 82. CONTINUED: 82. LLOYD Correct. MAYTE You see, our reason being here has nothing to do with you all finding out the truth to your existence; although you know now. Rather we were here for something greater. We’re here to restore faith. The crowd gasps. MAYTE You humans are too critical of each other. Protests, cynical laughter...It is no wonder that war and disease plague the Earth. LLOYD We hope that with this event you will all gain some sort of faith. MAYTE Thank you and goodnight! A large flash encompasses the room. When the flash of light disappears Mayte, Doctor Frankenfurter, and all of the Doctor’s work is missing. The crowd gets up and throws chairs as they go outside the room ranting and raving. ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 1 AHHHHH!!! We don’t exist! ANONYMOUS CROWD MEMBER 2 We don’t! ALIENS! ALIENS! The group of scientists are laughed at by the Occupy crowd as both groups begin to bicker back and forth. Francis joins his parents who are still standing at the back of the room. FRANCIS Well? Mr. Blacon begins clapping. FRANCIS Let’s go home. Mrs. Blacon runs over to Francis and gives him a big hug. The Blacons begin to leave the symposium hall. Before Francis leaves the room he sees a piece of paper where Doctor Frankenfurter was standing before he disappeared with Mayte. (CONTINUED)
