HARRY
And so, Barnaby was not really what
he thought, and when he fell off
the cliff, he opened his eyes, and
woke up. It was all just a dream.
The end.
MR LIMEY
BOOOOOOOOOO! What the bollocks was
that?!? Dont ever end stories
with: It was all just a dream.
Only morons do that!
HARRY
Please, Mr Limey. I tried my best.
EMILY
No, you didnt! You wrote that
story in the morning, while you
were taking a dump in the bathroom!
MR LIMEY
(pointing)
Harry, you disappoint me.
Harry frowns.
EMILY
Hey, have you ever heard of a thing
called Drop Bears?
2.
HARRY
No.
EMILY
Its these bears that drop down
from trees, and they cling onto
your face, and eat you alive.
HARRY
Thats not real, is it?
EMILY
Maybe. Maybe not.
HARRY
Oh, God! A drop bear!
ORANGE BEAR
(to Harry, Emily)
Our world is under attack. You must
help us. Give this to your father.
The Orange Bear collapses, and rolls onto his back, showing
the wound in his chest. Its a large hole from which blood
gushes out. A LOT OF BLOOD.
EMILY
Oh, Jesus.
MINDY
(reading)
Our world is in grave danger. A
destructive darkness is destroying
cartoon characters, and all that
lay in its path. You must find a
solution to end it once, and for
all. Seek the a way to enter the
cartoon world. It is of the utmost
importance as we are all connected
together. The end of us means the
end of you, too.
CRAIG
BULLLLLLLSHIAT!
CHANG
(to Emily, Harry)
You actually expect us to believe
this?
HARRY
But there was a cute, lil, orange
bear!
EMILY
Whoa. What was that? I think it
came from outside.
She goes toward the house, and stops when she sees the Wangs
staring. She waves to them.
EMMA
Hi, you guys! How did you know Id
be here?
Back to Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig, who are still
looking outside.
Harry, upon seeing Emma taken away by the black sludge, puts
his hands atop his head, and screams.
HARRY
EMMAAAAAAA!
CHANG
Hey, you ever notice its really
easy to scream the names of people
whose names end with the letter A?
Or sometimes Y?
CRAIG
Yeah, its the vowels at the end.
You can extend their names almost
indefinitely.
CHANG
(nodding)
I know. Thats what I was trying to
say.
CHANG
Here we are...
Chang puts away his handheld device into his back pocket. He,
Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig find themselves standing in
front of a blue police box. Theyre looking curiously.
MINDY
Do we go in?
Chang nods. He opens the doors to the police box, and then
he, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig get inside.
Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig step out of the police
box to see where they are.
EMILY
Where are we?
HARRY
Were in a forest.
EMILY
Oh, thanks. I didnt know that.
HARRY
Youre welcome.
At this moment, a WHITE RABBIT with a polka dot bow tie, and
red overalls appears. It looks kind of retarded, but it waves
to the Wangs.
WHITE RABBIT
Hey, you guys! Over here! Follow
me!
CRAIG
(to the Wangs)
Should we follow him?
Chang shrugs.
CHANG
Eh, I aint got no better plans.
And so Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig chase after the
White Rabbit. The White Rabbit leads them down a dirt path.
The Wangs hit the bottom of this shaft, and land on the
floor. They get up, and find themselves at the beginning of a
hallway with many, many doors.
They see the White Rabbit jogging off, and he takes a short
turn, and squeezes in through a tiny, little door.
Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig go after him, but the
tiny door slams shut.
EMILY
Its locked!
HARRY
Maybe we need a key?
CRAIG
Maybe we need a STAND THE FUCK
BACK, EVERYONE!
7.
Chang, Mindy, Emily, and Harry stand back. Craig takes his
arms, and punches his hands into the wall. Having a grip, he
strains, and rips away the wall, and the tiny door, too. Now
theres a way to get through.
Craig throws away the wall, and does a dusting off his hands.
CRAIG (CONTD)
Well, that about does it? Shall we
proceed now?
MINDY
Excuse me, sir, but have you seen a
white rabbit around here?
GREY RABBIT
Eeeeh, whats up, Doc?
MINDY
Im not a doctor.
CHANG
Have you seen a white rabbit? Yes,
or no?
GREY RABBIT
Foist, lets take dis moment to do
a jig. Itll be Hi-larious.
EMILY
Hmm, not bad.
HARRY
Oh my fucking God.
8.
GOOFY HUNTER
Be wery, wery quiet.
The Goofy Hunter grabs the Grey Rabbit by the foot, and
starts dragging him away, off-screen.
CRAIG
(to Goofy Hunter)
Hey, were looking for a white
rabbit. Can you help us?
GOOFY HUNTER
Theres a tunnel ahead you can go
in. You might find him there.
Craig turns back around, and Chang, Mindy, Emily, and Harry
look ahead, and see a tunnel in the side of a mountain.
MINDY
Are you okay?
MINDY (CONTD)
Lets try that one instead.
Mindy points to another tunnel to the right. The Wangs go
through this new tunnel, and it acts like a portal. It takes
them inside.
They hear the SCREAM OF A MAN, and turn their heads to the
noise.
CHANG
OK. Time to go!
The Wangs on their run find a HOUSE made of stone, and they
jump through the open window, and hide inside.
Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig are staying low, trying
not to be found.
Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig get up, and start
running through the house, headed for the back.
As they do so, the T-Rex finally powers through the window,
and gets inside. It marches for the Wangs.
Mindy takes out her wand, and points it at the T-Rex thats
facing them, staring them down, and growling.
MINDY
Stay back! Im a witch!
Now, the T-Rex crashes into the kitchen wall. Its a tad
stunned.
It shakes its head, and turns around to walk away, but is met
with the BLACK SLUDGE.
The Black Sludge grabs the T-Rex around its head, and
consumes it whole.
THUG
Your money, or your life! You
decide!
Then we hear the voice of BAT HERO. Hes kind of like Batman,
but hes not!
THUG
Huh?
HARRY
Batman?
BAT HERO
No. Im Bat Hero. Totally
different, kid.
CRAIG
Where are we? New York?
BAT HERO
Wait a minute. Could it be?
Bat Hero goes over the Wangs, and looks them up, and down.
EMILY
Chosen ones?
BAT HERO
The prophecy has foretold of a
family that will save our world
from ruin, and destruction.
CHANG
Yup, were heroes. Here to save the
day. Glad you recognized.
MINDY
(to Bat Hero)
Have you seen a white rabbit around
here?
BAT HERO
That guy? That guy is a fucking
idiot. Listen, you need to find the
Tower of Darkness, and the Evil
Lord, who lives within. Stop him,
and you stop this destruction. I
assume youve already seen the
Black Sludge?
The Wangs nod. Bat Hero then takes out a glass vial filled
with black sludge to show them. He holds it up. The sludge
seems to be alive.
Bat Hero uncorks the glass vial, and pours the quantity of
black sludge onto the Thug on the ground. It takes over his
entire body, and consumes him, and makes him into a skeleton.
All his flesh is stripped away.
HARRY
Whoa, you just murdered a dude.
12.
BAT HERO
Uh... No... No, he was already dead
when I got here. I should know, Im
a detective.
CHANG
If youre such a good detective,
why dont you help us find this
Evil Lord?
BAT HERO
Step back, please.
Bat Hero, Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig step back,
leaving some space in the middle of the alleyway.
Bat Hero then pushes a button on his belt, which beeps, and
we hear the roar of a racing car.
HARRY
(looking)
Whoa! Hot ride!
The top of the Bat Car slides back, revealing the inside.
BAT HERO
Get in. Itll take you where you
need to go.
So, Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig get in the Bat Car,
and the top, closing, returns to its original position.
The Bat Car now burns rubber, and speeds out of the alleway.
JOKESTER
Hello, Batsy! How do you do!
(cackling)
Eh-he-he-he-he!
JOKESTER (CONTD)
Ready to play?
Bat Hero rolls his eyes, and picks up the handgun on the
ground. He shooks the Jokester in the chest. The Jokester
collapses, and dies.
BAT HERO
Wow. No wonder police officers use
guns.
The Bat Car comes racing down the street, and brakes, and
angles into the driveway. The top retracts.
CHANG
What is this place? And whats it
got to do with the black sludge?
MINDY
We will find out.
An fat ORANGE CAT, and a YELLOW DOG are below the feet of
JOHN, a middle aged man, who has committed suicide via
hanging.
The FRONT DOOR to the Orange Cats House opens up, and Chang,
Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig are standing in the frame.
CHANG
Oh, fuck this.
14.
The Wangs in the Bat Car race away from the Orange Cats
House, which shortly after becomes engulfed by the BLACK
SLUDGE.
FAT BOY
Oy! Spenny, you wanna play
Roshambo?
SPENNY
Lets go, fat ass!
Rats then come out from nowhere, and eat the flesh off
Spennys bones, and leave as quick as they came.
KODEE
You, uh, you assholes!
KODEE (CONTD)
Whats that?
The Bat Cars top retracts, and Chang. Mindy, Emily, Harry,
and Craig get out. Looking at one another they seem confused.
CRAIG
Whoa, what the fuck is going on?
EMILY
Why do we look so -- low budget?
15.
MINDY
I...dont know.
HARRY
Im scared.
Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig waddle over to Fat Boy,
Kodee, and Blue hat Kid.
CHANG
(to Fat Boy)
Hello, there!
FAT BOY
What the hell do you want?
CHANG
Gee, youre kinda rude.
FAT BOY
Screw you! Suck mah balls!
CRAIG
No balls will be sucked today, sir!
Craig grabs Fat Boy, and lifts him above his head.
FAT BOY
Oy! Put me down!
Craig spins Fat Boy around, and throws him. Fat Boy screams,
and goes flying through the air, and over the school, where
he disappears.
KODEE
He wasnt our friend.
MINDY
(to Kodee, Blue Hat)
Hey. This is a long shot, but do
any of you happen to know about the
Tower of Darkness and/or the Evil
Lord?
Blue Hat Kid, and Kodee lead Chang, Mindy, Emily, and Harry
down the stairs. They go over to a large object thats
covered with a sheet.
KODEE
The Orakull.
ORAKULL
Hello, Wang family. I am the
Orakull. I know why you seek me.
You must save our world, and the
Evil Lord --
EMILY
(interrupting)
Oh my god! You smell like shiat!
ORAKULL
My body is a representation of
life. The energy of the universe
flows through me. I --
CHANG
OK, can we hurry this up before I
throw up?
ORAKULL
Wait. To defeat the Evil Lord, you
must first seek a special sword. I
will take you there. Close your
eyes, and when I clap you shall
arrive. Ready?
The Orakull claps. The shit from his shitty hands sprays
Kodee, and the Blue Hat Kid, but the Wangs all disappear all
at once.
17.
Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig from thin air appear in
front of a castle that looks like a human skull with fangs.
MINDY
(gulp)
I guess we have to go in there.
SKELETON DUDE
Who dare trespass?!
HARRY
Whoa, shit!
SKELETON DUDE
Eagh!
CHANG
Yes.
MUSCLE MAN
Go forth, and take what is yours.
18.
So, Harry, Emily, and Craig try pulling out the sword -- with
the same result as Chang. They cant do it either.
Mindy rolls her eyes, and sighs. She goes up to the stone,
and withdraws the sword without any resistance. She then
holds it aloft in the air.
As Chang, Emily, Harry, and Craig stare, the tip of the sword
glows bright, and turns the world white.
YELLOW MAN
Why, you little -- !
BILLY
(struggling)
Mom! Help!
MARGUERITE
Homey, youre squeezing him too
hard!
MARGUERITE (CONTD)
You killed him.
19.
YELLOW MAN
Get the shovel. We should be OK as
long as there are no witnesses.
MINDY
Flame thrower?
CRAIG
Hurry!
Chang, Harry, and Emily make space, and stand back as Mindy
uses her wand to moves the car on the driveway.
MARGUERITE (O.S.)
Hurry! Theyre getting away!
The Yellow Man, inside, tries opening the door. Its not
opening.
MARGUERITE (O.S.)
Homey, no!
20.
We hear the sound of the flame thrower being used inside the
house. Then the house almost instantaneously becomes engulfed
in flames.
Emily shrugs.
EMILY
Okay, now what?
MINDY
Plunge ye this dagger into mine
heart, and set free the soul!
HARRY
Huh?
MINDY
Gather around, everyone.
Mindy takes her sword, and plunges it deep into the ground.
Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig, via their giant bean-
stock reach an island-like cloud.
They get off, and jump onto the cloud, and look ahead. They
see the Tower of Darkness.
CHANG
Thats the tower? Its kind
of...sad.
CRAIG
Who cares! Lets go kick the Evil
Lords fucking ass!
CHANG
Excuse me, but --
The man in the cape, the Evil Lord, AARON the Aardvark
dramatically turns around.
AARON
What do you want?
EMILY
Arthur?
AARON
My name is Aaron. Aaron the
Aardvark.
HARRY
Are you the Evil Lord?
AARON
Some say it is so.
MINDY
You have to stop what youre doing.
Why are you making others suffer
like this?
22.
AARON
I am not intentionally trying to
make people suffer. But I have a
broken heart, and its created
unintended consequences. Now the
world is feeling my pain.
CRAIG
How emo.
AARON
It is not emo! Heart break is one
of the worst things that an
aardvark can experience. If youve
never been through it yourself, you
will not know. It is like Kidney
stones. Sure, you say, How bad can
that be? And then it happens, and
youre all like, HOLY FUCK BALLS!
CRAIG
I dont have kidneys. Im a robot.
AARON
But this isnt some normal heart
break, mind you. I am in the
greatest agony Ive ever been
through. I am without hope. I am
inconsolable. The woman that I
loved more than anything in the
world has hurt me beyond what I
could have ever imagined. She has
pushed me towards thoughts of
suicide.
CHANG
Yeah, you know what? Killing
yourself is probably the right
thing to do.
MINDY
Chang!
CHANG
What? This will solve both our
problems. Right?
MINDY
(to Aaron)
Dont kill yourself. You are in
your darkest of dark moments, but
there is a light, even if you cant
see it.
23.
AARON
Thank you. You are a good woman,
and I will help you.
MINDY
How?
AARON
You see me, and think that I am the
one doing harm to our world, but
there is something...something
beyond us. There are people in
control of us, who control our
everyday lives. They are the ones
you must stop.
CHANG
Whatre you saying?
AARON
Were living in a cartoon world.
Everything we experience, as real
as it seems, is a product of other
peoples imaginations. Stop them,
and you stop this chaos.
CHANG
So, were really in a...TV show?
Aaron nods.
AARON
Now that you know, I shall set you
forth to go, and stop them. It is
your destiny. Step into the circle,
and I shall pull the switch to take
you there.
So, Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig step into something
that looks like a pentagram.
The Wangs look at him. Its awkward. Chang folds his arms,
and impatiently taps his foot.
MINDY
To the right, Aaron. To the right!
AARON
Ah, here we go.
Our eyes gaze upon the Wangs now, who are in front of this
structure.
CHANG
Whoa! What the fuck?
HARRY
Were real, dad -- were real!
EMILY
Three dimensions, I cant deal with
this.
MINDY
Calm down. Its gonna be OK.
CHANG
Its go time!
The doors to the studio kick open, and Chang, Mindy, Emily,
Harry, and Craig charge inside.
CHANG
You sons of bitches have fucked
with us for the last time!
Chang takes out a round, black bomb with little feet, and a
windup key at the back. He turns the key on this bomb, and
sets it down, and lets it walk forward.
Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig are standing back. They
watch the Korean Animation studio blow up.
CHANG
Can you smell that, guys?
(sniffs air)
It smells like --
HARRY
ASS?
CHANG
No... Victory. It smells like
victory.
Establishing shot.
CHANG
Okay, so we made a mistake. The
real culprits behind this whole
black sludge thing are the writers.
MINDY
They are the architects of story.
EMILY
Usually shitty stories.
CRAIG
It still counts.
WRITERS ROOM
26.
Chang knocks.
The HEAD WRITER sticks his head out the door to answer.
HEAD WRITER
Hello?
CHANG
Excuse me. Are you the head writer
around here?
HEAD WRITER
(smiles)
Sure am!
Chang grabs the Head Writer, and throws him down to the
floor.
CHANG
Stop fucking things up for us!
Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig start kicking the crap
out of the Head Writer while hes on the floor, curled up in
a ball, trying to cover himself.
HEAD WRITER
(crying)
What did I do to deserve this?!
MINDY
Youve been messing with our lives!
Were your cartoon characters! The
writing youve been doing has been
destroying our world!
HEAD WRITER
Im just a writer! Im not in
charge of all the decisions! You
need to talk to the TV executives!
HARRY
Oh, man, were so sorry...
27.
The Head Writer, bloodied, and bruised, stands up, and dusts
himself off.
HEAD WRITER
Its okay. Just head up to the next
floor. Youll find the board room
with all the executives there.
CRAIG
Thank you kindly, sir.
The Head Writer nods to Craig, then the Wangs start jogging
down the hallway to their destination.
The Head Writer takes a moment to adjust his tie. But then
Emily turns around, and pushes him down back to the floor.
She kicks him in the ribs. He turns, and groans.
EMILY
Im sorry! I have a problem with
violence!
They all have weapons. Chang has a pair of sais, Mindy a bo.
Emily a katana, Harry nunchucks, and Craig a pair of daggers.
CEO
Im sorry, I dont think do not be
evil should be a part of our
corporate policy.
Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig now enter the board
room. The CEO, and other executives slowly turn their heads,
noticing them. They look irritated.
CEO (CONTD)
Excuse me? What are you four
vagrants doing here?
CRAIG
There are five of us.
28.
CEO
I dont count robots.
CRAIG
Im gonna enjoy kicking your ass.
CEO
FUCK. YOU.
Chang throws his sai. The sai lands between the fingers of
the CEOs hand, which is flat on the table.
The next moment the door opens, and the CEO, whos beat up,
is on his hands, and knees trying to crawl away. But Harry,
and Emily drag him back inside.
Chang, Mindy, Emily, Harry, and Craig stand about in the wake
of this chaos. Theyre breathing heavily like theyve been
through a battle.
CHANG
Finally, its over. Our world is
safe now -- but for how long?
CRAIG
I dont give a fuck. Im a happy
camper.
CRAIG (CONTD)
Lets celebrate!
Hes presses play, and plays some music from a cassette tape.
CHANG
Oh! Thank God! It was all just a
dream!
MR LIMEY (O.S.)
BOOOOOOOOOO!
MR LIMEY (CONTD)
You twat! Never end a story with:
It was all just a a dream!
CHANG
Umm... Can you please get out of my
house?
MR LIMEY
First, I have to take a wee.
CHANG
Fine. Just hurry it up.
CHANG (CONTD)
HEY! Thats not the bathroom!
MR LIMEY
You shut your whore mouth!
CHANG
I hate my life.
FADE OUT.
