Emily Wang runs for School President in a bid to bring back

Pancake Tuesday.
EXT. HIGH SCHOOL #90456 - DAY

We hear the familiar ring of the school bell.

INT. HIGH SCHOOL #90456, CAFETERIA - DAY

EMILY, EMMA, and HARRY are sitting down having lunch.

As expected its not just them. Theres an assortment of

students, including a new girl named RAYCHUL. Raychul is a
cute, African-American girl, with big puffy hair.

But were not focused on her, or the others right now. Were
with Emily, Emma, and Harry, listening to their conversation.

HARRY
So, then I said to Evanna...

Harry noshes on some potato chips while talking.

HARRY (CONTD)
...If youre so smart why do you
have Lou Gehrigs disease?

EMMA
(polite)
Harry, you shouldnt speak while
your mouth is full.

EMILY
Its disgusting.

HARRY
Is that so?!?
Harry stuffs his face with more chips, and chews so that
whats in his mouth can clearly be seen. He stares at Emily.

EMILY
Ick.

At this moment, the PA system turns on, and we hear a message

from Principal DIKSHIT.

Everyone pauses what theyre doing, and turn their heads

towards the speaker on the wall.

DIKSHIT (O.S.)
(pa system)
Good evening, students. Principal
Dikshit here. Just chiming in to
make an important announcement.
(MORE)
 2.
DIKSHIT (O.S.) (CONT'D)
The announcement is: Due to
budgetary concerns, and to a degree
political corruption, we will no
longer be having pancake Tuesday.
Pancake Tuesday is cancelled...
Forever.

HARRY
Forever?

DIKSHIT (O.S.)
(pa system)
Forever ever!

The cafeterias disappointed, and the students all go:

Awwwwww!

DIKSHIT (O.S.) (CONTD)

Theyre just goddamned pancakes!
Its circular bread, and liquid
sugar! Get over it!

The speaker turns off. Students go back to eating, but some

of them seem angry, especially Harry.

HARRY
This is bullcrap! Pancake tuesday
gives me the will to live!

EMMA
Cant you make your own?

HARRY
Its not the same.
EMILY
I agree with Harry. This is wrong,
and fuck Principal Dikshit! We need
Pancake Tuesday!

EMMA
Alright, so whatre you gonna do
about it?

EMILY
I know! The elections are coming up
soon. I could run for school
president.

Emily gets up from her seat, and climbs onto her table, and
stands on top of it. She spreads out her arms, and faces her
peers.
 3.

EMILY (CONTD)
Good citizens of America! Lend me
your ears! I demand attention for I
am standing on top of a table!

But no one pays attention.

EMILY (CONTD)
LISTEN UP, MOTHER FUCKERS!

The cafeteria goes silent. The students turn their heads

toward Emily.

EMILY (CONTD)
I am running for school president,
and I want to let you all know that
I will bring back pancake Tuesday!

The students clap, and then a character named RONALD Dump,

whos half-Canadian/half-American, stands on top of his
table, too.

RONALD
I also am running for president,
and I will also be bringing back
pancake Tuesday!
(large gestures)
But my pancakes will be bigger, and
fluffier, and Ill make the school
give us real, Canadian, maple
syrup! Aunt Jemima can suck my
dick!

Emily lowers her arms.

EMILY
Yo, Ronald Dump! What do you think
youre doing? This is my moment.
IM making a presidential speech.

RONALD
A woman as school president? Ha!
Dont make me laugh!

EMILY
You son of a whore!

Emily reaches down, and steals Emmas half-eaten sandwich.

EMMA
Hey!

Emily throws the sandwich at Ronald. It hits him in the face.

 4.

Ronald uses his finger, and wipes away some of the mayonnaise
thats on his face. He then licks the tip of his finger,
tasting the mayo. Now he looks really, really annoyed.

RONALD
This means war.

Ronald grabs a pizza slice, and chucks it at Emily.

Emily is struck; the pizza slowly peels off her face, and
reveals how pissed off she is.

Harry stands up, and, as we zoom in on his face, he yells out

loud --

HARRY
FOOD FIGHT!

Cut to a chaotic scene in the cafeteria, where the place is

divided in two. Tables are on their sides, and students are
taking cover, lobbing whatever food they have in their hands.

So much food is wasted, and thrown, back, and forth.

We see some kids get hit, while others dont. Its like a war
zone.

Meanwhile, Emily, Emma, and Harry are together, hiding behind

their own table.

Emma, and Harry are covering their heads as Emily is engaged

in the battle.

Emily bites the end off a bread roll, and tosses it as one
would a grenade.
The bread roll hits Ronald Dump in the head.

RONALD
That does it!

Ronald jumps out from behind his table, and withdraws a gun.

RONALD (CONTD)
Say bonjour to my little friend!

He starts shooting.

But the students on the other side shoot back. Bullets go

flying through the air.

RONALD (CONTD)
Whoa, shit!
 5.

Ronald turns around, and dives over his table to hide behind
it.

On the opposite side, Emily, Emma, and Harry are low to the
ground, also behind their table, trying to avoid the lead
storm.

HARRY
Ho-lee crap!

Emily takes out a pocket mirror, and looks at whats

happening.

She sees two factions of students shooting at each other.

Its like a wild west gun battle.

HARRY (CONTD)
Whats wrong with Americans? Them,
and their guns.

EMILY
Hey, its in the constitution.

EMMA
Dont worry, guys. Ill protect us.

Emma shows off a bottle of pepper spray.

EMILY
Whatre you going to do with that?
Make curry?

HARRY
Whered you learn self-defense,
Emma? Cooking school?
EMMA
Haw-haw. Very funny.

At this moment, a THUG of a student appears behind the trios

table. The thug has a gun out, and is pointing it.

THUG
Any last words?

Emily, and Harry dont know how to respond. But Emma uses
pepper spray, and sprays the Thug in his eyes.

The Thug screams in pain, and, holding his face, drops his
gun.

Emily quickly picks up the gun, and shoots the Thug in his
knee. The Thug crumples to the floor. He writhes in agony.
 6.

Success! Emma looks to Harry, and sticks out her tongue in a

mocking manner.

EMMA
Hows that for cooking school?

HARRY
....Pretty darn good!

EMILY
Alright. Enough of this bullshit.
We have gots to get out of here.

So, Emily, Emma, and Harry start crawling towards the doors,
and amid wild gunfire, they exit the cafeteria.

EXT. 90 KERRY CRES - DAY

The WANG household. Here it lies.

INT. 90 KERRY CRES, KITCHEN - DAY

MINDY and CHANG are in here eating cereal. Craig is eating

something out of a bowl too. But its not cereal. It looks
like motor oil.

Then Emily comes into the kitchen, wearing her backpack which
is riddled with bullet holes.

EMILY
Mom?

Mindy pauses, and looks.

MINDY
Yes, my dear?

EMILY
Im running for school president
this year, and I was wondering if
you could help me write a speech.

MINDY
Well, the first thing --

CHANG
(interrupting)
Hey, if you want speech writing
tips...
(points to self)
...look no further than papa bear
Chang.
 7.

CRAIG
What do you know about speech
writing?

CHANG
I once wrote a VERY rousing speech
for Barack Obama that helped him
win his presidency.

EXT. NATIONAL MALL - DAY

Chang is standing nearby Barack OBAMA as he makes a speech to

a large, eager crowd.

OBAMA
And when you go out to the polls,
choose change -- choose hope!

Obama squints at the teleprompter. But he reads whats there

with a great passion, and fervor.

OBAMA (CONTD)
Choose hope! Choose hope! Choose
hope! Choose hope! Choose hope!
Choose hope! Choose hope! Choose
hope! Choose hope! Choose hope!
CHOOSE HOPE! Go out there, and
vote!

Chang is grinning. Obamas face is kinda twisted like, What

the hell did I just read?

Theres silence in the crowd, but then they cheer. Obama puts
his arms into air as if triumphant.

INT. 90 KERRY CRES, KITCHEN - DAY (RETURN TO SCENE)

We return to Mindy, Emily, Chang, and Craig in the kitchen.

CRAIG
That never happened.

CHANG
Didnt it?

Chang folds his arms, and has a smug look on his face.

Mindy whispers Emily.

 8.

MINDY
(whispering)
Dont worry, Emily. Ill help you
write your speech.

Emily places a hand over her heart.

EMILY
Oh, thank God.

INT. HIGH SCHOOL #90456, GYM - DAY

Emily, and Ronald Dump, both looking very presidential, are

up on stage, each behind a podium.

They are having a debate.

In a sea teachers, and students we see some familiar faces:

Of course, Emma, Harry, Mindy, Chang, Craig, Principal
Dikshit, Mister Popadof, Miss Bea, Teen Wulf, and Raychul.

Dikshit is nearby, moderating the event behind a table.

He pushes up the reading glasses on his nose, and looks at a

set of cue cards. He speaks into a microphone.

DIKSHIT
To kick off our presidential debate
today we will first ask the
question that is on everyones
mind. Miss Wang: What are you plans
for our school?

Emily clears her throat.

EMILY
First, I plan to bring back Pancake
Tuesday. Second, Id like more
extracurricular activities for
students, and finally, I, Emily
Wang, want to put an end to
bullying.

The crowd LIGHTLY claps.

DIKSHIT
Good answer.
(to Ronald)
And Mr Ronald Dump, your response
to the same question is?

RONALD
Build a wall.
 9.

DIKSHIT
Sorry, what?

RONALD
Build a wall. We have to build a
giant wall to keep all the bullies
out of our school.

EMILY
You idiot. You cant build a wall.

RONALD
Shut your yap, Emily. You have no
idea how effective a wall can be.
Look at that illegal immigrant
Humpty Dumpty. He tried to climb up
a wall, and he fell down, and
couldnt be put back together
again.

EMILY
You know thats a fairy tale?

RONALD
(points)
Youre a fairy tale!

EMILY
You take that back!

DIKSHIT
Now, now, settle down.

Emily steps out from behind her podium, and angrily starts
walking towards Ronald.
But Ronald takes out two cans of silly string from his
pockets, and starts spraying Emily.

RONALD
Get back, you degenerate!

The crowds in shock. They dont know how to react.

Ronald goes forward with his assault.

Emily is overwhelmed. She tries shielding herself with her

arms, yet stumbles back, and slips, and falls to the floor.

When she is down, Ronald continues spraying her with his

silly string.

RONALD (CONTD)
STAY DOWN!
 10.

Emily is curled up, covering herself.

EMILY
You may have won this round, Ronald
Dump, but the students arent
stupid! They wont vote for what is
essentially a clown as school
president! Youll lose! You have an
8% chance of winning!

EXT. HIGH SCHOOL #90456 - DAY

The doors to the school burst open, and Ronald Dump,

surrounded by his minions, comes out, and strikes a pose.
Hes wearing a sash that says: President.

Celebratory music plays. Confetti drops from the air.

The crowd of people gathered outside clap.

Ronald Dump, grinning, waves to them.

The crowd we notice includes: Emily, Emma, Harry, Principal

Dikshit, Mister Popadof, Miss Bea, Teen Wulf, and Raychul.

But our eyes focus on Emily. She looks really pissed off.

EMILY
Aaaaah, shit.

EXT. URBAN PARK - DAY

Its day out, but the weather is cloudy, and grey.

Emily is sitting down in the park, on a bench. Shes just
staring at nothing, with a blank expression on her face.

Sad, she SIGHS.

EMILY
I cant believe I lost the
election.

At this moment, we hear the voice of RAYCHUL.

RAYCHUL (O.S.)
But you won the popular vote!

Emily turns her head, searching for the voice.

EMILY
Huh? Whos there?
 11.

Raychul suddenly appears. She hops over the back of the park
bench, and takes a seat beside Emily when shes not looking.

But Emily soon sees her, and she gives her a look of doubt.

EMILY (CONTD)
Uhhhh, not to be rude, but -- who
the hell are you?

RAYCHUL
Raychul! I voted for you. OH, how I
wanted our school to have its
first, female, minority president.
Is that too much to ask?!

EMILY
Its not too much to ask.

RAYCHUL
But you know why you lost, right?

EMILY
Is it because I smell funny?

RAYCHUL
No! People are racist. America is
the most racist country in the
world... After Australia... And
Scotland. The students only voted
for Donald Trump because hes a
rich, white male.

EMILY
You mean, Ronald Dump.
RAYCHUL
Right... Ronald Dump.

EMILY
Okay, Raychul, so I lost the
election because of some backwater,
Jim Crow descendants. But its over
now. We cant do anything about it.

RAYCHUL
NO! We will protest, and let our
voices be heard! We will let those
white people know that were not
their slaves anymore! We will show
them whos the real boss -- and it
aint Tony Danza!

EMILY
Who da fuck is Tony Danza?
 12.

EXT. BLACK STREET - DAY

Emma, Harry, Craig, and Teen Wulf are amongst a throng of

young people, protestors, consisting of various minorities
that belong to the group called M.L.M. which stands for
Minority Lives Matter.

We can clearly see this by the signs that they are holding
that face Emily, and Raychul, who here appear to be the
leaders.

Eyes fixate on Raychul as she speaks with a great, fiery

passion, accompanied by wild gesturing.

RAYCHUL
Friends, people, men, and woman of
all different colors, and races, I
thank you for coming out today in
the name of justice, and equality!

The protestors cheer. Raychul puts her fist into the air.

RAYCHUL (CONTD)
Down with white people! White
people are all evil, and racist!
They are Earths herpes!

The protestors cheer again, except for Harry, Emma, and

Emily, who appear to be a little uncomfortable with these
statements.

HARRY
Uhhh, what?

When the noise dies down, Raychul points to Emma.

RAYCHUL
Hey, you! What are you doing here?

Emma appears confused.

RAYCHUL (CONTD)
This is MLM! Minority Lives
Matter! You aint a minority, so
pack your shit, and GIT!

Emma looks at Emily like, What do I do here?

EMILY
Dont worry, Emma. Well meet back
up with you later.

Emma frowns. As everyone, minus her friends stare at her

contemptuously, she leaves with her head hung low.
 13.

And then we go back to Raychul.

RAYCHUL
Yawwwwww! Now! Lets go out there,
and let our voices be heard! KILL
WHITEY!

Cheering. The group goes forward, but Emily puts out her
hand.

EMILY
WAIT!

The group waits.

EMILY (CONTD)
Before we march through the streets
to protest can we...not be violent?
Can we be civil? I know protests
get crazy, but if were peaceful
people will take us seriously, and
thats what matters, right?

Raychul puts a hand on Emilys shoulder.

RAYCHUL
(to the crowd)
I agree. If we wanna be heard we
have to do the right thing.
Remember, its our city. If you
destroy it, its like destroying
your own home. In other words,
dont be assholes, OK? Got it?

Everyone nods.
RAYCHUL (CONTD)
Good.

SCREEN-WIPE TO:

Emily is standing alone by herself. Her hands are on her

hips, but she appars to be in a good mood.

Still on Black Street, everything seems okay. Everythings

intact just like before. Or so it seems.

EMILY
And there we go. No one acted like
an asshole. The city is in perfect
condition, or at least the way it
was before.

Emily turns her head now, and gets a DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

 14.

Nay, the place is actually wrecked. Its a mess. Cars are

upside down, shits on fire, therere spray paintings on
walls, broken glass, and open fire hydrants gushing water.

EMILY (CONTD)
Oh, wait. I was wrong. This place
looks like a pile of DOG SHIT.

At this moment, Craig suddenly appears on the scene, running

away, holding a stolen TV. Emily screams at him.

EMILY (CONTD)
CRAIG! Put that down!

Craig pauses, and stares at Emily. Then he starts running off

again -- Emily SIGHS.

EXT. EMMAS HOUSE - DAY

Were at Emmas house. This is where Emma lives.

INT. EMMAS HOUSE, EMMAS ROOM - DAY

Emma is in her room, sitting on a chair, reading a book.

There is a KNOCK at the door.

EMMA
Come in.

The door opens, and Emily comes in. Emma puts down her book
to see her guest.

Emily we notice is wearing an M.L.M. branded t-shirt.

EMMA (CONTD)
Emily? Whatre you doing here?

Emily closes the door, and goes over to Emma.

EMILY
Where were you? MLM had another
rally, but we couldnt find you.

EMMA
I chose not to go.

EMILY
Why?

EMMA
Im not welcome there. They hate
me, and they hate white people.
(MORE)
 15.
EMMA (CONT'D)
I didnt do anything to them, but
apparently Im guilty for crimes
that people that look like me did
in the past. They say I have white
privilege and they keep telling me
to check it. How do I check my
privilege? I tried finding an app
for it, and got nothing!

EMILY
Emma, calm down. Nobody hates you.

EMMA
You know what happened to me today?
I went on the bus, and they made me
sit in the back.

EMILY
But you like sitting in the back.

EMMA
Thats not the point. I should have
the option to sit anywhere I want.

EMILY
Okay, so what do you want me to do?
Quit MLM?

EMMA
Tell them to stop being so mean to
me. I didnt choose to be white!

EMILY
Emma, I --
Emma puts her face into her hands, and starts LOUDLY sobbing.

Emily has an awkward look on her face, but nothing to say.

She carefully backs away, opens the bedroom door, and leaves.

The bedroom door then slowly, very slowly, closes. Click.

EXT. LOCAL BUS STOP - DAY

Emily is sitting in a bus shelter.

Raychul appears, and comes. She is wearing an MLM t-shirt

that says Fight the Powah!

Emily looks up.

EMILY
Raychul?
 16.

RAYCHUL
Emily. I got your e-mail. Why did
you quit MLM?

EMILY
Im sorry, Raychul, I just dont
think its right to exclude someone
based on the color of their skin.

RAYCHUL
But theyre our oppressors.

EMILY
Not every white person is bad. Id
even go so far as to say a lot of
them are good, actually.

RAYCHUL
You dont know what youre talking
about. Youre only half a minority.

EMILY
What do you mean by that?

RAYCHUL
In America, yeah, youre in the
minority. But outside, Asians are
all over the place. Theyre like
cockroaches.

EMILY
So, that settles it then. I dont
need to be a part of MLM anymore.

RAYCHUL
Emily, please.

EMILY
No, Raychul. Im not coming back.
All you guys do is harass people --
and for what? Thought crimes? Our
last protest we were protesting
someone who made a joke on social
media. Its a joke! Who cares!?

Raychul is mad, and literally starts shaking. Emily notices.

EMILY (CONTD)
Are you OK? Why are you shaking?

RAYCHUL
Youre a female uncle Tom! You
traitor! You scum bucket!
 17.

EMILY
I think, Ill be going now.

Emily stands up, and tries to leave the bus shelter. Raychul
grabs her arm.

RAYCHUL
You cant leave MLM!

Emily pulls her arm away. At this moment, the bus arrives,
and stops in front of the bus stop.

Emily runs into the bus, and drops a token into the coin box.
The doors to the bus then close.

Raychul goes up to the doors, and bangs on them with her

fists.

Emily turns her head, and worriedly stares.

RAYCHUL (CONTD)
This isnt over! You hear me,
Emily?! One day, the white plague
will be eliminated!

The bus drives off. The BUS DRIVER makes a comment.

BUS DRIVER
Jesus Christ, what a bitch.

EXT. 90 KERRY CRES, BACKYARD - DAY

Changs shed, where he does his projects, is here as usual.

INT. OVERSIZED SHED - DAY

Emily, and Harry enter the oversized shed, and meet with
MINDY, and CHANG, who are standing in front of a large,
veiled object.

(Craigs here too, but hes offline, to the side on a table,

looking like hes in the middle of being repaired.)

EMILY
Dad? Mom? You wanted to see us?

MINDY
We have something to show you.

Mindy, and Chang pull the veil off the large veiled object,
revealing something that looks like a futuristic pod.
 18.

CHANG
Ta-da!

HARRY
What is that?

CHANG
I call it the Skin Changer. You
get inside, and it changes your
racial identity.

EMILY
Why?

MINDY
So you can experience first hand
what its like to be someone else.
It will make you empathetic.

CHANG
Get in! Its fun! I spent a whole
day as a black woman!

HARRY
Really?

Chang snaps his fingers, and motions/waggles his head in a

most sassy manner.

CHANG
Mmm hmmm!

Emily looks like shes thinking.

EMILY
(nodding)
Alright, alright -- Ill do it!

Chang opens the pod. Emily gets in.

Chang closes the pod. The pod starts making noises, and
flashing lights, then it goes DING!

Chang opens the door. Emily steps out, and she looks like a
WHITE GIRL.

EMILY (CONTD)
Did it work?

As Harry stares in awe, Mindy shows Emilys face in a mirror.

Emily curiously touches her own face.

EMILY (CONTD)
Holy crap.
 19.

Harry puts up his hand.

HARRY
Oooh! Me next!

Harry eagerly gets into the pod, and goes through the same
process as Emily. He comes out as a GINGER BOY.

Mindy shows him the mirror.

Harry puts his hands on the sides of his face, and screams.

HARRY (CONTD)
Aughhhhhhhhhhhh! Im a ginger!

MINDY
You look cute.

Harry angrily points at Chang.

HARRY
You did this on purpose!

CHANG
No, I didnt. I swear. The machine
just works with the pre-existing
DNA in your body, and alters whats
available.

Harrys almost in tears.

HARRY
I cant believe this. Im gonna be
picked on at school! Fuck this!
Harry runs away wailing.

HARRY (O.S.) (CONTD)

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

When hes gone, Chang whispers to Mindy, and Emily, like hes
telling a secret.

CHANG
(whispering)
I totally made him a ginger on
purpose.

MINDY
Thats what I thought.
 20.

EXT. 90 KERRY CRES - DAY

The morning sun rises. Emily, and Harry, as white kids,

wearing backpacks, leave their house, and come outside.

They walk, and start cutting across their driveway, and then
they turn their heads, and notice that their garage door has
been vandalized.

Theres a spray-painted Nazi symbol, and words that say: Go

home, Nazis!

EMILY
Oh, my God. Who did this?

HARRY
I dunno, but its just like that
movie, with Brendan Fraser. Whats
it called again?

EMILY
Uhhh, George of the Jungle?

HARRY
Yeah.

Harry snaps his fingers, and points.

HARRY (CONTD)
Thats the one.

At this moment a yellow school bus arrives, and stops in

front of the Wang household. The bus door opens.

Emily, and Harry turn around, and get inside.

The BUS DRIVER stares at them.

HARRY (CONTD)
Hello, sir, how do you do?

BUS DRIVER
Get to the back.

EMILY
Okay, I like sitting in the back.

Emily, and Harry try to get to the back, but the Bus Driver
puts out his arm.

BUS DRIVER
SIT IN THE FRONT.
 21.

EMILY
Aah, damn it.

Emily, and Harry take a seat, near the door, which is right
behind Emma.

The three of them we see are the only white kids on the bus.
The bus which now starts driving off.

Emma turns around, and looks at Emily, and Harry.

EMMA
Hey, uh, you guys kinda look
familiar. Have we met before?

HARRY
Emma, its us: Harry, and Emily.
Were in disguise.

EMILY
Its a social experiment.

EMMA
Its a prank?

EMILY
No, I said: SOCIAL EXPERIMENT.

EXT. GREY STREET - DAY

The school bus stops at a red light.

On the street corner is young white HOODLUM. He has a bucket

of rocks. He starts throwing them at the bus, the area where
Emma, Emily, and Harry are.

HOODLUM
Crackers! Cracker-ass crackers!

Everyone in the bus is staring outside. Harry, Emily, and

Emma make eye contact with the Hoodlum.

He sticks up his middle fingers.

HOODLUM (CONTD)
CRACKERRRRS!

EMILY
What the hell? Hes white too.
Whys he calling us crackers?

BUS DRIVER
Children, hes got white guilt.
 22.

EMMA
Um, shouldnt you be protecting us?

The BUS DRIVER GROANS.

As everyone watches, the Bus Driver opens the doors to the

bus, and steps outside, and confronts the Hoodlum.

BUS DRIVER
Excuse me, can you stop throwing
rocks at my bus?

The Hoodlum throws a rock at the Bus Driver, and dings him in
the forehead. The Bus Driver touches his gash.

BUS DRIVER (CONTD)

That does it!

The Bus Driver kicks over the bucket of rocks, and then he
grabs the Hoodlum in a headlock.

The Hoodlum tries pulling out but cant.

HOODLUM
Stop oppressing me!

BUS DRIVER
You were throwing rocks at my bus!

HOODLUM
Its a free country!

As the Bus Driver struggles with the Hoodlum, Raychul

appears, seemingly from nowhere, and makes a beeline for the
bus. She gets inside.
Emily, Emma, and Harry notice her right away, while the other
students on the bus are still staring outside.

Raychul gets into the drivers seat, and closes the door.

EMILY
(looking)
Hey, what are you doing?

RAYCHUL
Were going for a little ride.

Raychul takes out a gun, and shows it off.

RAYCHUL (CONTD)
Now sit your asses down.
 23.

Everyone now seated, Raychul stomps on the gas, and the bus
takes off, and cuts through traffic.

EXT. RURAL ROAD - DAY

The school bus goes down a rural road, and plows through a
cornfield, and then stop in the middle of an open area, with
a big tree in the middle.

EXT. RURAL FIELD - DAY (CONTINUOUS)

The big tree, on its thickest branch, has four nooses hung
from it, and four matching stools below.

This is surrounded by the entire organization that makes up

the protest group called MLM i.e. Minority Lives Matter.
They are holding various weapons, looking very angry.

Amid them we notice is Ronald Dump, but he is being kept

against his will, with someone holding a pitchfork to his
back.

Focusing back on the bus, the school bus doors open. Raychul,
gun pointed, marches Emma, Emily, and Harry outside.

There the three make eye contact with Ronald Dump, and then
see the nooses awaiting them... Raychul grins.

RAYCHUL
Oh boy, oh boy! We gonna have us a
good, ol fashioned hanging!

EMILY
Wait! Dont we get any last words?

Raychul groans.

RAYCHUL
Okay, but hurry it up.

Emily stands in front of the crowd, trying to appeal to their

humanity.

EMILY
Minority Lives Matter! I know
youre all angry about how youve
been treated in the past, but I
assure you I am not your enemy. I
want to help black people, and
brown people, and anyone of any
color, or gender.
(MORE)
 24.
EMILY (CONT'D)
If you kill me, you will only stoke
the fires of hate. For a protest to
work it must garner the sympathy of
others, who may be in a position of
power to help. So, we should join
hands, and aid one another in the
same fight. A protest isnt just an
outcry of pain. It should have a
purpose. And that purpose is love,
humanity, and caring -- for
everyone.

The crowd seems touched. Some of them cry. They look like
theyre being moved, emotionally.

Then Ronald Dump steps in front of Emily.

RONALD
If you ask me, I think youre all
idiots!
(wild gesturing)
I mean, seriously, do you people
have to protest every little
perceived slight?! How about going
to school, and work, and making
something of yourselves instead of
whining, and stamping your feet
like spoiled children?! Protests
are useless, OK! Name the last
protest that actually did anything!

Ronald sticks out his ear as if trying to listen.

RONALD (CONTD)
Oh, thats right! There are none!
Protests are all just big, huggy,
circle jerks that whiny cucks use
to make themselves feel better!

Ronald folds his arms, like hes done a lot of good. But --

RAYCHUL
Alright. Hang the white people.

The MLM protestors, and Raychul move in on Emily, Emma,

Harry, and Ronald.

But then as doom seems imminent, Craig comes out of the

crowd, and puts out his arms as if to say stop!

CRAIG
Wait! I have something to say!
 25.

Craig goes over to Raychul. He rips her puffy wig off her
head. The crowd gasps.

CRAIG (CONTD)
Shes a fake! Shes not even black!
Look, her hair is a wig!

RAYCHUL
I am going through chemotherapy.

CRAIG
Oh? WELL, I have another thing to
say. This whole thing has been a
scheme to make money! MLM has made
a million dollars selling t-shirts,
and other related merchandise!

Raychul shows a receipt for a $1 MM donation to UNCF.

RAYCHUL
All donated to charity.

The crowd steps forward; Craig puts out his finger.

CRAIG
But wait!

Craig grabs Raychuls face, and tears off her skin, revealing
her to be a robot.

CRAIG (CONTD)
Shes a robot!

Ronald, Emily, Emma, and Harry look kinda shocked, but all
the others dont.
RAYCHUL
(grins)
Were all robots here.

All at once, the MLM protestors tear the skin off their
faces, and reveal that they are robots too.

RAYCHUL (CONTD)
We are MLM... Machine Lives Matter!

Suddenly, Raychul, and all the MLM protestors join together,

and form into a large, ROBOT BALL.

Craig, Emily, Emma, Harry, and Ronald look surprised.

CRAIG
Alright! Time to get up on out of
here!
 26.

Craig starts running. Emily, Emma, Harry, and Ronald follow

behind, as does the robot ball, which starts chasing after
them.

EXT. RURAL ROAD - DAY (CONTINUOUS)

Craig, Emily, Emma, Harry, and Ronald continue running. They

cut through the cornfield.

The robot ball does so too, and on its way picks up corn,
which attaches to its body.

Craig, Emily, Emma, Harry, and Ronald get onto the road, and
start running down it, robot ball rolling behind of course.

EXT. DOWN HILL - DAY (CONTINUOUS)

Craig, Emily, Emma, Harry, and Ronald take a turn, and start
heading downhill towards the city.

The robot ball we can see is still in pursuit, and is running

over an assortment of objects, adding to its size.

EXT. MAROON STREET - DAY

Craig, Emily, Emma, Harry, and Ronald are running down Maroon
Street. There are some cars around, but not too many.

The robot ball, which includes Raychul in it, rolls behind

them.

It is picking up everything its touching. Its growing

larger, and larger in size. Its like its magnetic. Its
taking up cars, fire hydrants, trees, plants, animals, etc.

At this point, Craig, Emily, Emma, Harry, and Ronald comes to

a dead end, where theres only a partially finished bridge,
and some buildings about that are all boarded up, and closed.

The group stop upon seeing this, and having nowhere to go,
they turn around.

The robot ball is coming towards them, and as it rolls it

continues growing, and becomes so large that it gets stuck
between two high rise buildings.

The robot ball is now barely a few feet away from Craig,
Emily, Emma, Harry, and Ronald.

Harry puts up his arms as if to shield himself

 27.

HARRY
Whoa!

The robot ball tries wiggling, but cannot move forward.

RAYCHUL
(as the robot ball)
Katamari will free itself! Pussy
power!

EMMA
What power?

But with more effort, finally, the robot frees itself from
between the buildings, and begins rolling once again.

CRAIG
Oh shit! We have to jump!

Craig, Emily, Emma, Harry, and Ronald turn around, and jump
into the water below.

The robot balls follows them, and goes in as well.

The robot ball makes a huge splash, and comes up to the

surface.

Likewise the group does too; they watch what happens.

The robot ball starts fritzing out...

RAYCHUL
Aughhhh! I cant swim! HALP!

...And then it EXPLODES.

Shrapnel, and robot pieces go everywhere.

Craig, Emily, Emma, Harry, and Ronald turn their heads away,
but their eyes return back, looking curiously.

Raychul, and her robot ball are no more.

HARRY
Is that it? Is it over now?

EMILY
I think so.

The group starts swimming, headed for the shore.

As it so happens, Raychuls robot torso pops up from the

water, and grabs onto Harry, and bites down on his arm.
 28.

HARRY
Ah! Get it off! Get it off!

Harry pushes on Raychuls head to no avail.

Emily, and Emma grab Raychul, her torso, and pull her off.

Craig goes over to Raychul, and punches a hole right through

her head.

While Ronald is stunned at this sight, Harry holds his wound.

EXT. SHERMANS SHORE - DAY

Craig, Emily, Emma, Harry, and Ronald climb out of the water,
and get to the shore. They return to their feet, and each
catch their breath.

Ronald takes out a cellphone, in a waterproof case, and

pressed some buttons. He places it back into his pocket.

A moment later, a PINK helicopter comes out of the sky, and

touches down on the sand.

Ronalds dad, DONALD opens the door to the helicopter. Donald

is African American, and he looks at his son with a smile.

DONALD
Ronald, my boy! Get in!

EXT. SKY OVER CITY - DAY

The pink helicopter is flying through the air, over the city
(i.e. 99 OAKS).

Craig, Harry, Emily, Emma are sitting in the back of the

helicopter with Ronald.

Ronalds dad, Donald is seated at the front beside the pilot.

HARRY
Ronald, I didnt know your dad
was...

RONALD
Black?

HARRY
Actually, I was going to say the
owner of a pink helicopter. What a
bizarre color choice.
 29.

EMMA
Ronald, I have to admit something.
We thought you hated black people.

RONALD
Because I look white? Emma, judge
people by the content of their
character, not their skin color.
Prejudice, and discrimination, and
racism against anyone is wrong.

CRAIG
BAH, who cares about race? I hate
everyone!

EMILY
(to Ronald)
Well, whatever you are, we were
wrong about white people. Being a
white person sucks. You get no
respect, no respect, I tell yah!

RONALD
Eh, its better than being Asian.

HARRY
What?

RONALD
Did you know that if youre Asian,
you have to score higher than every
other racial group in testing to
get into your college, or
university of choice? Theyve made
it so the bar is set significantly
higher for Asians. It is clearly
discrimination -- yet its legal.

EMILY
Wait. Was this whole adventure we
went on actually just to get us to
talk about racial discrimination
against Asians in academia?

Ronald gives a firm thumbs-up.

EMILY (CONTD)
God, damn it.

EXT. 90 KERRY CRES - DAY

We return to the Wang household!

 30.

INT. 90 KERRY CRES, LIVING ROOM - DAY

Mindy, Chang, Craig, Emma, and Harry, and Emily, who are back
to their former-selves, are sitting in their living room,
around the TV as usual.

CHANG
So, how did you guys like your time
as white people?

EMILY
It was okay. But I prefer being me.

EMMA
Being yourself is always the best
policy for happiness.

CRAIG
Amen, brother!

HARRY
Naaah. I dont wanna be myself.
(mischievous grin)
Id rather be a unicorn.

Mindy zaps Harry with her wand, and turns him into a unicorn.
Harry glances down at hooves, seeing what he is.

UNICORN HARRY
Awww, hell NEIGH!

Much to the concern of his family, Harry runs over to the TV,
back kicks it, and then charges at the far wall, and bursts
through it, and leaves the house.
There is a moment of awkward silence: What the eff?

MINDY
I REGRET NOTHING!

Mindy zaps herself too, and turns into a unicorn. She neighs,
and then charges out through the hole Harry made previously.

CHANG
Emily, get the tranquilizer gun.

EMILY
We dont have a tranquilizer gun.

CHANG
Duly noted.

FADE OUT.
