Another Written On Goebel Flyers hughesscreenplay#9 Scene "they" Don't Like


INT. DINER -  CONTINUOUS
BOB
Look, this may be like a goddamn 'Star Trek' episode, but...

LONDON FOG #1
(butting in)
Original series?

BOB
Don't fuck with me in nineteen forty five time.

LONDON FOG #2
Why not?

BOB
Here's what I think, while my brain still works. Confuse the people in this time zone, or whatever the hell it is and...

LONDON FOG #1
We zap back to our time.

(beat)

BOB
Yeah. Got a better idea?

LONDON FOG #2
Worked in the old TV show.

BOB
Yeah, but what's behind this? Human beings are doing this shit to us.

LONDON FOG
Think nineteen forty five. We'll get it.

FADE TO:

EXT. INDEPENDENCE MISSOURI STREETCORNER/1945 - NIGHT

HARRY TRUMAN walks along with two SUITS. Stars twinkle above.

Silently, two UFO's buzz them at a low altitude.

TRUMAN
Damn! It didn't work! They're back.

CUT TO:

Is anybody going to buy this thing? Just wondering. This is a suburb of Los Angeles, isn't it? "Shaken not stirred?" SS, look alive this weekend. William the 5 "Stirs them up." {Maybe too well. How would I know? This ain't Martha's Vineyard, sir}
