CLOUSE THE CLOUD: EP.

1 ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE

By Jasmine Smith

FADE IN: THE SKIES OF GREENLAND Ext. Greenlands skies. Day. CLOUSE is a white fluffy cloud floating above Greenland, here we seem him with a frown on his face and eyes teary. CLOUSE THE CLOUD [Talking to himself] The skies are always quite lonely and boring. I sit and watch the ice melt and form all year without a second of excitement. I wish I could see the world, to explore! (Looks and sees a flock of BIRDS) BIRD 1 Hey, you over there! I need to have a few choice words with you! (Waves to Clouse, shakes fist before buddies appear too) BIRD 2 Dude, dont you think we should leave the fella alone for the day? He seems to be a little gray. (Shakes while speaking, obviously frightened) BIRD 1 Of course you would say that! Stop being a baby and show this cloud what you mean. (Pushes BIRD 2 towards Clouse) CLOUSE THE CLOUD I mean no harm today, just wanted to get on with my business. (Starts to mumble to himself) CLOUSE THE CLOUD (CONT) I have ambitions of traveling the world, not fighting bullies

BIRD FLOCK Lets get out of here before this cloud turns sour! (BIRD FLOCK squawks as they fly away) CLOUSE THE CLOUD I have nothing to do here anymore! Tomorrow I set out for the world! [Title sequence plays] The Journey Begins Ext. Pacific Ocean Sky. - Day. Clouse has been traveling for a few hours, since sunrise. He takes a break above the vast ocean. CLOUSE THE CLOUD I cant believe I really did it. I actually left those skies and its foreign. I love it! All of it! (Looks over to PELICAN) CLOUSE THE CLOUD (CONT) Hello! You over there, do you have any directions to the world? PELLY THE PELICAN Oh me? Why yes I have directions to the best feeding grounds round the world! Why do you need them? CLOUSE THE CLOUD I have an urge to explore and see everything like a true adventurer! PELLY THE PELICAN I highly recommend Rio, but watch out for Not Windy. She is a feisty breeze! (Calls out to Clouse, but he has already left. Doesnt hear her warning.) 3

Lost and Far From Home Ext. Rios Jungle- Day. Clouse explores jungle and stumbles upon WALLY THE WATERFALL. He has a conversation with him. CLOUSE THE CLOUD I havent seen a single living thing for miles! I needed directions to central Rio! (Calls over roar of a waterfall) WALLY THE WATERFALL Why hello there, give me just one minute. (Closes eyes and stops roaring) WALLY THE WATERFALL (CONT) I am Wally and you are? CLOUSE THE CLOUD Im Clouse, nice to meet you! Do you happen to have directions to central Rio, where all the festivals are? WALLY THE WATERFALL Its easy to get there, but there are no festivals at this time of year. I do invite you to stay with me and converse about the weather. (Looks over to Clouse for approval) CLOUSE THE CLOUD I would love to, but I dont have much in common with a waterfall. (Tries to keep polite about situation.) WALLY THE WATERFALL Why it would a shame if you continued on with that way of thinking. I must change that immediately. 4

CLOUSE THE CLOUD I guess I must stay if you insist. WALLY THE WATERFALL I do so get comfortable and listen here. (Sends wave of mist towards Clouse) WALLY THE WATERFALL (CONT) See here, now youre bigger. Youll need that later if you want to leave here. (Laughs before Clouse interrupts him) CLOUSE THE CLOUD Though it may seem like a bother, I do recommend not growing on me. (Rains until normal size again) WALLY THE WATERFALL There is nothing wrong with a good old growth spurt. I really meant it though when I said that you will need it later. CLOUSE THE CLOUD Care to explain for me please? WALLY THE WATERFALL There is a wind around here that goes by Not Windy or Wendy when it feels right. Anyway she is a tough girl and doesnt let nobody boss her around or tell her wrong. CLOUSE THE CLOUD Youre meaning to tell me that I am going to get beat up by a girl for trying to leave here and see the world! (Spins in circles before hit by another wave of mist, growing again)

WALLY THE WATERFALL Pretty much that sums it up. Amigo I have to get on with my day but I wish you the best of luck. Adios! (Starts to roar again) CLOUSE THE CLOUD I have to write about this is my travel journal! I will have a whole section on cloud forming and ooh! So exciting! Confrontation Ext. Pacific Ocean Skies- Night. Clouse explores the ocean in search of his next destination. He stumbles upon NOT WINDY THE WIND. CLOUSE THE CLOUD (Mumbles to himself) I cant be afraid of a girl. I will not be afraid of a girl NOT WINDY THE WIND I heard about you little guy. I just had to blow in and see it for myself. A cloud traveling the world, ehh? CLOUSE THE CLOUD I am going to see everything so you know. There is more out there than I could ever see! NOT WINDY THE WIND Well let me show you what it looks like to see the world. Right after I send you home where you belong. (Starts to send harsh winds toward Clouse)

CLOUSE THE CLOUD Too bad you arent strong enough, Im still bigger than you. (Waves goodbye and continues on) NOT WINDY THE WIND Ill show that little punk next time, Ill show him good. French Pastries Ext. Frances Skies- Day. Clouse explores France and finds a new friend. He speaks with ANDY THE ARC. CLOUSE THE CLOUD I cant believe these views! Oh and the Eiffel Tower. I wont go there, to pointed and dangerous. I have to see that though! (Exclaims with joy as he zooms toward Arc De Triumph) CLOUSE THE CLOUD (CONT) Hello! Im Clouse and it is amazing here. Can you please tell me more? I went through a lot to get where I am. (Looks at ANDY willingly) ANDY THE ARC (In a French accent) Well of course! I will do anything for a garcon like you. CLOUSE THE CLOUD I am so excited! Tell me everything that you possibly can! I have to write down everything in my journal so speak slowly please and thank you. ANDY THE ARC Well I was built August 15, 1806 7

(Starts on long historical tangent) CLOUSE THE CLOUD I would love to hear your history, but could we skip to maybe a little further up? Just a recommendation though. Maybe a bit more about yourself now? ANDY THE ARC Why didnt you say so? I am a peaceful person since wars are over and all. A symbol of peace actually. I spend my time in many photos with people. CLOUSE THE CLOUD Interesting! I cant wait to hear more about you! There is always so much! ANDY THE ARC Oh no, you see there is nothing more. To remain peaceful I am simple. There is nothing more for me to tell. (Andy looks at Clouse disapprovingly, his gargoyles start to cry) CLOUSE THE CLOUD Those are awesome! How did you get those guys? Are they your friends? (Looks more excited than before) ANDY THE ARC These were built with me. You wouldve known that if you didnt interrupt me. (Turn away and leaves Clouse on his own) CLOUSE THE CLOUD There go my chances of exploring France. (Writes everything in journal)
