#1st Rough script of Lilly
Posted by Arkumcat on 28/11/09
FADE IN:
EXT. WASTELAND -- DAY
HARMEN (early thirties, panama hat, baggy chinos, polo
shirt, socks with sandals) books into view with an M16
swinging from his shoulder.
Bullets zip by him, kicking up dust.
Harmen leaps across a gully and stops short.
HUNTER ZOMBIE stands before him, drooling and stumbling,
hands outstretched.
Harmen is paralyzed for one terrible moment, then
ZIP-SPLAT. The zombie's chest explodes.
Two more rounds ZING by and Harmen is off again.
FADE TO BLACK
INT. GARAGE -- DAY
A pink teddy bear with half its face burned off hangs from
a chain.
A blue flame whips to life in the darkness.
It's put to metal and the sparks fly in the reflection of
the WELDERS mask.
EXT. FIELD -- DAY
Harmen runs up to a large metal door and begins pounding at
it with his fists. More GUN FIRE can be heard off in the
distance.
Harmen keeps going, stumbling from exhaustion but spurred
on by a desperate need to survive.
He snags his foot on a concealed wire and face plants,
knocking himself cold.
We move past his limp body to the wire, following it to a
hole in the ground and...
INT. GARAGE -- DAY
...a wire coming out of a hole in the wall attached to an
alarm that triggers a tape deck. The deck starts up and
Japanese Psychedelic noise rock blasts through speakers
mounted around the building.
The WELDER looks up at a spinning red light and the torch
goes off.
INT. PIT -- DAY
Harmen wakes up in an open metal cage, wincing in pain.
Duct tape is wrapped over his head and under his chin,
holding a bag of frozen brussel sprouts to a large bruise.
He looks around at the darkly lit confines.
Shadow passes across the overhead grate and he looks up in
alarm. He sits up.
HARMEN
Hello?
A small FIGURE with Harmen's big chinos cinched up around
it's tiny waist walks to the edge of the pit and looks down
on him. Long welders gloves on both arms. From the torso
on up it wears a fury brown cowl/coyote mask with a gas mask
tube curling out of it's mouth. His panama hat sits between
the pointy ears.
It stands motionless, regarding him.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
Who are you?
Silence.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
Where am I?
Silence. Harmen starts to get annoyed.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
(more to self)
Are those my pants?
The figure shakes it's head and raise a strange hand gun
with a large round snub barrel and a C2 cartridge in back.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
Whoa.
The figure levels the gun at his face.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
Shit!!! Way, way, wait! Keep the pants, man...
The gun moves down to his crotch. There is a pop and a
large round ball flies from the barrel and bounces off his
nuts.
Harmen collapses in pain.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
The figure punches a button and the cage starts to rise.
It settles on the ground floor with a thud and Harmen
groans and looks up. The figure is crouched down regarding
him.
FIGURE
Mmm hrrmm mmm.
Harmen is confused, cheeks streaked with tears.
HARMEN
I don't....what?
The figure begins to pull up it's mask as it talks again.
LILLY
mmmharm...know what's good for you.
That was my ball gun. You get
fresh, you get the balls. Here's
how this is going to work. I say,
you do. Period.
Lilly (late teens/early twenties, choppy haircut and
gypsy-punk make up) sneers down at the shocked Harmen.
LILLY (CONT'D)
Are we going to behave ourselves,
Chad....
She regards him sternly, slowly blowing a huge pink bubble.
LILLY (CONT'D)
-wi-CK.
It pops and he nods his head quickly.
LILLY (CONT'D)
Super!
She walks away cheerfully, headed towards her work shop.
Harmen slowly rises and follows.
INT. WORKSHOP -- DAY
Sparks fly as Lilly grinds a metal plate. She picks it up and blows off some shavings.
Harmen lowers himself into a rocking chair as Lilly raises her goggles and checks the
edge of her plate.
Harmen peels the sprouts off his head and moves them down
to his crotch, wincing from the pain. His gaze lands on a
large metal barrel, spot welded with junky doodads, a happy
dog face painted on the front of it.
Lilly is rummaging around in some scrap metal. He watches
her wipe her dirty fingers on his pants.
HARMEN
Can I have my pants back, girl?
LILLY
My name's Lilly and these pants are
mine. I found em. How much do you
weigh?
HARMEN
What?
LILLY
Duh! How many pounds are you?
HARMEN
Uh...I don't know, 190, 200?
LILLY
(scolding)
Lying about your weight. Are we
gonna lie to each other Chad?
She clucks her tongue and goes back to work.
LILLY (CONT'D)
I'd say 230. That's still pretty
light. You should eat something.
She nods to a paper plate holding a sandwich (crusts cut
off) and several packets of pop rocks, fanned out in a
pleasing presentation. Harmen gives a hesitant look to the
food before ripping into it.
LILLY (CONT'D)
Take a bite of the chuck wagon and
then some pop rocks. It's like
eating a samwich in space.
Harmen gives her an odd look. She is filling a metal
canister with small pieces of scrap metal, old screws, etc.
HARMEN
So...you all by yourself?
LILLY
My brother will be here soon.
She points to a large desk calendar, mounted on the wall,
almost every day of the month covered with a sticker -- the
last date written in sparkle marker "BROTHER DAY!"
HARMEN
When's he getting here?
LILLY
That's a picture of my Dad.
She nods to a poster of the Ultimate Warrior.
HARMEN
I can see the resemblance.
Lilly shakes the canister, pleased with her work, then
drops it in a back pack, filled with two others.
LILLY
Alright, get up Chadwick. Let's go.
HARMEN
Don't call me Chadwick. Where are
we going?
She steps behind the big metal thing in the wheel chair and
grunts as she pushes it forward.
LILLY
Shopping!!
EXT. JUNKYARD -- DAY
Lilly picks up a piece of junk and inspects it before
tossing it away.
Harmen stands next to the thing in the wheel chair, looking
anxious in his underwear. He bites his lip and looks
towards the sounds of Lilly rummaging near by.
HARMEN
Lilly, this is a bad idea. Why the
hell are we out here?
Lilly bounds out of a junk pile, carrying a large white
object.
LILLY
Look what I found!!
It's a three foot high plastic snow man statue, headless.
HARMEN
What is it?
That stops her.
LILLY
I dun-know. Here.
She shoves it in his hands and is off again. Harmen drops
it and paces after her.
HARMEN
What are you looking for? Maybe I
can...
Lilly holds up a large black sprocket.
LILLY
One of these. Gotta be more here
somewhere. So where'd you come from
Chadwick?
Harmen looks off, lost in thought.
EXT. TENNIS COURTS -- DAY
A ball volley's over the net in the foreground. Harmen and
three other RICH GUYS sit on a patio, sipping drinks served
up by a BUTLER (dressed in sharp whites).
HARMEN
....So I thought why deal in
futures when there doesn't seem to
be one.
An ALARM goes off and one of the guys looks up scared.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
Oh, don't mind that. You get used
to it after a while. Have you seen
the gattling gun yet? It's a real
treat when a big group of
dead-walkers show up.
There is a rumble in the distance, catching the eye of one
of the Rich Guys.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
They're not supposed to, but some
of the guards will let you try it if
you pay...
There is the sound of an EXPLOSION, much closer and
everyone's heads turn. Rich Guy stands up slowly.
RICH GUY
What the fff.....
EXT. JUNKYARD -- DAY
Harmen snaps back into reality.
HARMEN
Worst 3 million I ever spent...
He trails off as he spots a group of approaching Zombies
(4).
HARMEN (CONT'D)
Aw shit, Lilly get down here!
LILLY
I found it!!!
She holds up the sprocket triumphantly.
HARMEN
Lilly!!!
He looks up to where she was to see she's disappeared.
Suddenly her arms wrap around his waits and a buckle clicks
into place.
She does other straps across his shoulders and drops a
canister down the barrel.
He looks behind him at Bingo, now strapped to his back.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
Lily, what the f...
LILLY
Oh right! Sorry!
She runs behind him and pulls the wheel chair away. Harmen
almost tips backwards, stumbling to keep his balance.
HARMEN
What the hell is this?
Lilly pulls a rip cord and a small engine growls to life,
kicking up black smoke. A rattling sound builds from the
barrel, like glass and bolts spinning in a cement mixer.
LILLY
This, Chad Harmen, is Bingo. Or
Bingo...uhm... (2...3...4..) 5! Right?
The best one yet!
The zombies are getting closer, one gives a flat howl.
Harmen freaks out and begins pulling at his straps.
LILLY (CONT'D)
Hold still!!!
Lilly pushes him into position.
There is a zipping sound as she pulls a long wick
from a back chamber and holds a butane lighter up to it,
just within his periffary.
HARMEN
Oh sweet Jesus.
The wick flares up and quickly starts to burn down the line.
Lilly cranks an egg timer mounted on the side to 30 seconds.
Harmen looks at the nearing zombies then to Lilly who is
taking cover behind a large pile of tires.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
What's going on?!
How does this work?!!
Lilly straps a bike helmet on and shrugs.
LILLY
(matter of factly)
Not sure if it's going to.
Harmen turns and Bingo's barrel starts to point her
direction. Her eyes get wide and she frantically motions
for him to aim back towards the zombies, which he does with
a grimace.
The egg timer nears the end as the whine of the engine
increases and the wick disappears into the machine, allot of
it drowning out Harmen's building scream.
Lilly puts her fingers in her ears, blowing a bubble as she
slowly begins to drop behind her cover.
A Zombie gnashes it's teeth and raises a rotten stump as it
steps forward.
The big pink bubble pops.
There is a moment of deadly silence.
An explosion rips out of the cannon, skidding Harmen back
through the dirt.
A fiery blast of projectile junk - like buck shot made of
nuts, bolts, pieces of chain and shards of glass all but
disintegrate the zombie horde.
Harmen lies on his belly panting as Lilly runs over to him
and helps him into a dazed sitting position.
LILLY (CONT'D)
You're still alive! That's so cool!
HARMEN
(whispering, in
shock)
That was awesome....
Lilly turns and looks behind them.
LILLY
Aw sugarplums.
She pops up and Harmen shakily rises behind her. Lilly
snaps back into action, taking out more cans.
Eight more Zombies approach from the rear. There is a
rustling sound above them and three more appear over the top
of a garbage heap.
Lilly gives her gum a worried snap. There is a clatter
behind her and she looks down to see Harmen scrambling into
position, puffed up with adrenaline and crazy eyes.
HARMEN
Lock and load you crazy bitch!
Let's smoke these corpses!
Lilly cheerfully drops another canister down the barrel.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
I'm gonna make me some scrapple!
Lilly pulls the rip cord.
LILLY
Yeah!
HARMEN
We're going to turn you into
fuckin' bacon bits!
Lilly yanks out another wick and raises her lighter.
LILLY
Yeah!
HARMEN
Straight to hell!
Suddenly a piece pops off the machine and the engine goes
from purring to a high pitched whine.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
What's that?
He turns to see Lilly quickly backing away from him, eyes
wide.
The whine is at an unbearable pitch now. The whole
contraption shakes and smoke comes out of a leak in the
side.
HARMEN (CONT'D)
Lilly?
The cannon explodes and Harmen is disintegrated.
Lilly opens an umbrella and squints her eyes as pieces of
meat rain back down from the sky.
A chunk lands at the feet of a Zombie. It picks it up and
begins to chew on it.
Lilly walks away, the zombies munching on pieces of Harmen
behind her.
