CHANG
(whispering)
Alright, what do we say if we get
caught?
EMILY
You tell anyone about us, and I'll
bite off your wiener!
Emily chomps the air, with her mouth, and shakes her head as
if trying to tear something off. Chang is perturbed.
CHANG
What? Ew! Gross. That's it, Emily.
Y-you're banned from putting
anything in your mouth that looks
like a wiener, sausage, link,
banger, bratwurst, frankfurter,
kielbasa, or salami.
EMILY
What about pepperoni?
CHANG
Especially pepperoni!
MINDY
Chang, keep your voice down.
HARRY
Whew. That was close.
CRAIG
I am a robot.
CHANG
Thanks. We know that already.
2.
CRAIG
I have x-ray vision. I can scan the
area for an empty railcar.
CHANG
Since when?
CRAIG
Since you began wearing panties.
CHANG
W-w-what? I, no, I, I ran out of
clean men's underwear. Alright? I'm
not some sort of freaky cross
dresser.
CRAIG
Sure you aren't...
CHANG (OS)
Find anything yet?
CRAIG
I've spotted an almost empty
railcar.
MINDY
Almost empty?
CRAIG
There's something in there. One
item. It's long, and boxy. Looks
like it could fit a person - but
not comfortably.
CHANG
Alright then, it's just a box.
Whatever. Let's go already.
Craig leads the way, and takes Chang, Emily, Mindy, and Harry
over to the nearly empty boxcar. Chang tries pulling open the
sliding door to no avail.
3.
CHANG (CONTD)
It's locked! Why would they lock
it?! Don't they watch movies?
You're supposed to leave these open
for traveling hobos.
CRAIG
Move out of the way, puny human.
Craig pushes Chang out of the way, and gives the boxcar door
a shot. He tries pulling it open with a hnnnnnnnnng! But
nope. Not working.
CHANG
Ha-ha! Loser! You're just as weak,
and useless as me!
CRAIG
Harry, may I borrow your shirt?
HARRY
Umm, sure. Why not?
Harry gives Craig his shirt. Craig wears Harry's shirt, rolls
up its sleeves, then goes back to the boxcar, gets a grip on
the door, and tears it clean off. He tosses the door, and it
goes sailing through the air.
EMILY
Impressive.
MINDY
Wait, we need that door to hide
ourselves.
CHANG
You foolish robot, you've doomed us
all.
MINDY
Where's he going?
HARRY
(to Craig)
Come back! I need that shirt to
cover my boobs!
CHANG
Forget it. We have to go.
HARRY
But... My boobs.
EMILY
And the door.
CHANG
Stop whining. This is life, okay?
We'll just have to make do.
HARRY
I hate making doo. It hurts my bum.
CHANG
Come on.
PETER
Why, hello, there! What's a young,
attractive robot like you doing all
on your lonesome?
CRAIG
My dad hurt my feelings, so I ran
away.
PETER
Aw, that's sad. Y'know if you were
my boy, I'd never in a brazillion
years treat you mean.
CRAIG
Yeah?
PETER
Heck yeah!
5.
CRAIG
Oh, that's really sweet of you,
mister.
PETER
Well now, are you low on energy, my
friend? I can charge you up for
free.
CRAIG
I do need a good charge. You
got batteries on you?
Peter, using his cane, points down the hill at the white van.
PETER
Plenty of batteries in my van.
CRAIG
Let's go then!
Craig runs down hill before Peter. Peter follows. The two
convene at the white van. Peter opens the van door. It's
dark.
PETER
Alright, friend. Have at it.
CRAIG
Hey, there are no batteries in
here. It's empty.
Peter laughs.
PETER
Mwah-ha-ha! That's right!
Peter closes the van door shut. He then gets inside the
driver's area, and takes off.
A steam whistle goes off, and the ORIENTAL EXPRESS, the train
to which Chang's boxcar is attached to, begins rolling along
the track ahead.
6.
The open doorway yields a view to enjoy, but the Wang family
seems in the dumps. Harry, Emily, Mindy, and Chang are just
sitting around, not doing much of anything (other than
talking.)
HARRY
I miss Craig.
EMILY
How could we leave him behind?
CHANG
We didn't leave him behind. He left
us.
MINDY
Don't worry, kids. We'll find him
later on. Chang, you said Craig has
a tracking device on him?
CHANG
Eh, yeeeeah, I lied about that.
EMILY
Dad! You lied to us?
CHANG
Don't act like I'm a bad guy. You
lie too. When that security guard
caught us in here you said you'd
bite his wiener off. Did you do
that? NO. Although you did scare
him off.
HARRY
I'm cold.
EMILY
I gave you a t-shirt to wear.
7.
HARRY
I'm not wearing that.
MINDY
Wear your shirt, dear. You don't
want to freeze your nips off, do
you?
Harry takes out a t-shirt, and puts it on. It's one size too
small, and it's pink, and the front of it has a unicorn
barfing rainbows.
HARRY
I feel so stupid. I mean, who
designed this shirt? Hitler?
EMILY
Why would Hitler design a shirt?
HARRY
For your information Hitler had a
lot of different interests. He was
quite a smart person. Did you know
Hitler invented the mustache comb?
Before he came along people were
all like: Ooh, my mustache is not
looking so great. What should I do
to make it look better? Should I
use a fork? And that's what life
was like in the early 1900s.
EMILY
Hm, interesting.
Harry nods.
CHANG
It's not interesting, and I want
all this talk about Adolf Hitler to
stop. Adolf Hitler was a jerk.
HARRY
Whoa, hang on a minute. I wasn't
talking about Adolf Hitler. I was
talking about the inventor of the
mustache comb, Joseph Hitler. You
know, Hitler's just a last name.
There's more than one Hitler. Not
now, but before there was.
CHANG
Oh, okay, then. Uh, carry on, I
suppose.
8.
HARRY
So, yeah, Hitler, what a guy!
The cabin looks like a high tech torture dungeon. It's filled
with all sorts of painful looking items, dangerous gizmos,
and computers running Microsoft Windows.
CRAIG
Augh, what are you gonna do with
me?!
PETER
Just the usual.
CRAIG
Omigod. You're a robosexual.
PETER
Why? You have a problem with that?
Are you robophobic?
CRAIG
What? No. That doesn't make sense.
I'm a robot.
PETER
Then what's the problem?
CRAIG
Hey, stop! That's my special area!
PETER
Do you like electricity, my friend?
CRAIG
I don't know what love is, but if I
did, I would tell you that I love
it.
PETER
Then you won't mind if I pump you
full with electricity?
CRAIG
I'm already here. Might as well.
PETER
How about 1.21 Jigatwatts worth?
CRAIG
1.21 Jigawatts?!? That will
overload my system!
PETER
I know - wah-ha-ha-haaa!
Were back with the Wang family: Chang, Mindy, Harry, and
Emily.
HARRY
I wonder what Craig is up to. He
must be having the time of his
life.
EMILY
DAD, can we please go inside the
train?
CHANG
We are inside the train.
EMILY
I mean the part that's made for
people, not cargo.
CHANG
I'm sorry, Emily. We can't. We'll
be caught for sure.
10.
Emily groans. She goes over to the rectangular box, and sits
on top of it. She rests her head in her hands.
EMILY
This sucks.
MINDY
Emily, please watch your language.
And, yes, it does suck.
EMILY
Whoa, what was that?!
Chang, Mindy, and Harry stand up. They gather around Emily,
and they all stare at the box. The banging noise is heard
again. Everyone takes a step back.
MINDY
W-what do you think is in there?
CHANG
I don't know. Harry, go, and check
it out.
HARRY
What? Why me?
HARRY (CONTD)
(to the box)
Hello? Is anyone home?
HARRY (CONTD)
Do you want me to open this box?
Bang once for no, and twice for
yes.
11.
E.D. (OS)
Listen to me. If you don't open
this box in 10 seconds, I'll break
out on my own, and then I'll visit
your house, and take a shit on your
rug, mister.
HARRY
Okay, okay! I'm opening the box.
Just chill out for a second.
HARRY (CONTD)
Uh, how do I open the box?
E.D. (OS)
I dunno. You're the one on the
outside. Think of something. Use
your head.
So, Harry rams the box with his head, like a rhino. The
impact makes him reel back, and he gets sat down on his
bottom.
But the box by some miracle opens up. The sides fall out.
Harry stands, and looks.
E.D. pushes off the wood panel atop his body, and reveals
himself. He gets up, and greets the Wangs. They don't know
how to respond to this alien from outer space, who has a
really huge head.
E.D. (CONTD)
Hello, you primitive, ass backward
animals! My name is E.D.
EMILY
God. You're so ugly. Your head is
the size of my brother's belly.
HARRY
Eh, she's got you there.
12.
E.D.
So, Earthlings, is this your first
time seeing an alien? Pretty
impressive, huh?
CHANG
It is our first time -- but were
not impressed. Constant exposure to
media has raised our standards for
what is, and isn't impressive. The
bar for impressing people these
days is rather high.
E.D.
Aren't pictures of cats doing silly
things wildly popular with humans?
CHANG
I stand corrected.
MINDY
Wait, what were you doing in that
box?
E.D.
Long story short, I broke into the
White House, and tried eating one
of their cats.
EMILY
Why?
E.D.
(matter of fact)
Cats are delicious.
HARRY
Sooo, now that youre free, will
you be...going home?
E.D.
No. I first have to get my
spaceship.
MINDY
Where would that be?
E.D.
According to my calculations this
train should take me there
eventually. I just have to bide my
time, and keep a low profile.
13.
CHANG
I thought you said you were going
to keep a low profile, and you said
you had a surprise for us!
E.D.
Bro, this is the surprise. Welcome
to the fucking party.
CHANG
What if we get caught? We're not
supposed to be here.
E.D.
Bro, chillax. I got everyone here
high on drugs. By the time we
finish they're not even going to
remember what happened. So, come
on, bro. Join the party, bro.
CHANG
Stop saying bro. It's annoying.
I'm not your bro. And doing drugs
is bad for you. Man, I didn't even
know aliens could do Ecstasy.
E.D.
Surprise, surprise, mother fucker!
CHANG
Im not a mother fucker...
PETER
(whips Craig)
You naughty, little robot!
CRAIG
Ah, please, let me go! What have I
done to you to deserve this?
PETER
Nothing, actually, I'm just a bad
person.
CRAIG
Well, if you insist on torturing
me, I think I should return the
favor.
PETER
How? You're handcuffed to that
pipe.
Emily, and Harry are reading, while Chang stands with his
arms folded, tapping his foot impatiently. Mindy calls out to
him.
MINDY
Chang, why don't you come, and sit
down?
CHANG
He's still partying! He said he'd
be done four hours ago!
15.
MINDY
Let it go. He's gonna do what he
wants. He has his own mind.
CHANG
Ergh, getting sick of this.
Chang stops folding his arms, and goes to sit by Mindy. Mindy
puts a hand on his shoulder. He lets out a breath, and closes
his eyes.
E.D. takes off his sun glasses, looks around, wondering what
happened.
E.D.
Hey! Who turned on the lights?
Two men in black suits enter the train car. There is a black
guy, and an older white guy. One is named KIP, and one is
named JAY.
E.D.
You and what army?
CHANG
Owww!
KIP
(to Chang)
Come on! Get up! I won't be asking
you a second time!
16.
CHANG
You didn't ask the first time.
KIP
Why, you insolent, son of --
E.D.
Stop! These are my friends. I won't
let you hurt them.
JAY
Get out of the way.
JAY (CONTD)
Goddamnit.
KIP
That's it! We can do this the old
fashioned way, bitch!
Kip rips off the top of his suit, so that he's topless.
KIP (CONTD)
Let's go!
E.D.
My anus is ready!
KIP
You what?
KIP (CONTD)
Never mind!
Kip rushes E.D. and punches him in the face - a few dozen
times. E.D. is battered, but somehow still standing with his
dukes up. He wipes some blood off his mouth.
E.D.
Is that all you got?
Kip and Jay pick up their weapons, then walk over to Chang,
Mindy, Emily, and Harry, who seem to be trembling.
KIP
Please, follow me.
We find Craig has broken free. The pipe he once was suspended
by is busted, and his handcuffs are on the ground.
He takes the cord from the machine, and plugs it into the his
forehead. A stream of indecipherable green characters, run
over his eyes.
The door at the back opens up. Kip, and Jay come through,
leading Chang, Emily, Harry, and Mindy. They slowly walk down
the aisle.
Unlike the previous train car, this one is clean, and there
are no other passengers.
18.
CHANG
What are you guys going to do with
us? Are you going to rape us?
JAY
What? What kinda question is that?
No. We're sending you all back to
Taiwan, where you will all be put
into prison for breaking the law.
MINDY
Prison?
JAY
Don't worry. You'll be free after
25 years. Maybe 30.
HARRY
You're joking, right?
KIP
Son, illegal immigration is taken
very seriously in this country.
Except California. Goddamn hippies.
EMILY
California. That's where we're
headed.
KIP
Not anymore, little girl. You'll
be in prison, making hot steamy
love to other equally attractive
lesbians.
EMILY
I'm not a lesbian... I think.
CHANG
(to Kip, Jay)
Hey, listen. I won't have you
threatening, and scaring my family.
We are not going to prison.
JAY
What makes you so sure about that?
CHANG
Well, as you know, I...
CHANG
RUN, EVERYBODY, RUN!
Chang, Emily, Harry, and Mindy make a run for it, and doing
so they trample Jay, and Kip. They head for the door ahead of
them.
ORFEUS
Had enough?
Craig screams, and runs toward Orfeus. Orfeus hops over him,
and avoids his attack. Craig misses, and crashes to the
floor.
Craig flies back, and twists about in the air, and then falls
with a great THUD!
The wind blows in their faces. The Wang family take pause,
hesitating to go forward.
MINDY
This is a bad idea.
CHANG
Trust me on this, Mindy. They won't
find us here. It's totally idiotic,
which is why they won't expect it.
20.
CHANG (CONTD)
Aw, crap.
Kip and Jay move ahead, and, intimidating with their weapons,
push Chang, Emily, Harry, and Mindy to the back of the train
car's roof.
CHANG (CONTD)
Now, now, fellas, let's not do
anything irrational, huh.
Kip and Jay adjust the dials on their weapons, setting them
to: Massacre.
Chang, Emily, Harry, and Mindy huddle together, and hold each
other. As Kip and Jay are about to attack they are
interrupted by the voice of Craig.
CRAIG (OS)
Yo! Jerk wads! Why don't you pick
on someone your own size? Because,
you know, Asian people are pretty
small.
Kip and Jay turn around to face Craig, and immediately start
blasting laser beams at him.
Craig bends back like he's doing the limbo, and avoids each,
and every shot in super slow motion.
Kip and Jay are astonished that they missed, but they have a
second go. They start shooting once more.
Craig jumps up into the air, and hurricane kicks Kip off the
train, then goes over to Jay, in an instant, and gives him a
double dragon uppercut.
HARRY
You came back.
CRAIG
I'm like Herpes. I never go away.
CHANG
Well, we're glad to see yah.
MINDY
We missed you.
EMILY
You're the best robot a girl could
ever have.
Kip is climbing back up onto the train. The skin on his face
is torn off, revealing his red eye, and metal frame, that he
is actually a robot.
CRAIG
Why are you pointing? Don't you
know pointing is rude?
CRAIG (CONTD)
Oh, God! I forgot to learn Jiu
Jitsu!
The Wangs try to go to Craig's aid, but are stopped when Jay,
also revealed to be a robot, jumps onto the train roof, and
blocks their way, threatening them with his rifle.
JAY
Stay back, meat bags!
CRAIG
Mommy! Help me! I'm sorry I ate all
those memory chips!
22.
E.D.
Die, you robot wankers!
A huge gun comes out of the flying saucer and blasts Kip and
Jay with pinpoint accuracy. The two are decimated, turned
into metal scraps so small that they are blown by the wind
off the train's rooftop.
E.D. lands his flying saucer. The dome top flips up.
Craig stands, and faces E.D. along with the Chang, Emily,
Mindy, and Harry.
E.D. (CONTD)
Greetings, you intellectually
inferior beings! How do you do?
CHANG
Not bad, thanks.
HARRY
I like your flying saucer.
E.D.
You want a ride?
CUT TO:
CHANG
So, what kinda mileage does a
vehicle like this get?
E.D.
50 miles per gallon, city. 56 in
outer space.
CUT TO:
23.
E.D.'s flying saucer touches down in the hood. E.D. lets out
Chang, Mindy, Harry, Emily, and Craig; they look around
suspiciously.
CHANG
Uh, is this really California?
E.D.
Of course. You ever heard of
Compton?
MINDY
We're in Compton?
E.D.
Yup! Enjoy yourselves!
CHANG
Come back, you idiot! You've left
us in the middle of America's
Glasgow! This is a death sentence!
MINDY
Calm down, Chang. We'll be OK.
CHANG
Thank Goodness that never happened
to us, huh?
MINDY
Okay, kids. I think it's time to -
GANGSTA #1
Yo! What are you suckas doing out -
GANGSTA #2
Whoa, shit! The, the ghosts of the
family we just murdered!
Eaaaghhhhhhhhhhh!
CRASH!
Gangsta #1 and his homies, who aren't wearing seat belts, are
tossed out of their car, and meet a gruesome death.
Just the very opposite for Harry. He walks to the crash site,
and looks down at the corpse of Gangsta #1.
HARRY
Boyyyyy! You just got knocked the
fuck out!
Freeze frame!
THE END
