"Gone Bananas"
6/28/2016
HARRY
Hey, look at that.
HARRY (CONTD)
(reading)
The tiger from The Life of Pi.
CRAIG
Oooh, fancy.
EMILY
So, wheres the tiger?
MINDY
It must be shy.
(cups mouth)
Come on out, Richard Parker!
CHANG
Stop being a lazy, striped asshole!
We paid good money to visit you!
Now show yourself, tiger tits!
HARRY
Tiger tits?
RANDOM PERSON
Aaaaagh! Some maniac let all the
animals out! Run, everyone! Run for
your bloody lives!
2.
Mindy, Emily, and Harry look at each other with worry. But
Craig, and Chang dont seem bothered.
CHANG
(to family)
Ah, dont worry about it. Hes
probably just a Goddamn nutter. I
mean, this zoo is the best zoo in
the world. Its as safe as, uh,
Jurassic Park. Remember that movie,
and how safe everything was?
HARRY
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy, Richard
Parker! Were your friends, okay?
MINDY
(whispering)
Craig, do something. Youre made
out of metal. Kick his ass!
CRAIG
Youre right! I should kick his
ass!
Craig charges at the tiger head first.
The tiger jumps out of the way, and Craig, missing, smashes
his head into the cage in front, and knocks himself out.
HARRY
Should we make a run for it?
EMILY
You can outrun a tiger?
3.
HARRY
Well, I dont have to outrun the
tiger, I just have to outrun the
slowest person.
EMILY
Yeah, thats you.
HARRY
Oh, okay, nobody run then!
HARRY (CONTD)
Thank you, Mr Elephant. Thank you
so much. You are a true hero.
The elephant pushes Harry aside to the ground, and runs past
him.
MINDY
Thats what you say every time you
see a bunch of animals together.
Chang, your joke is getting old.
CHANG
You say old, I say classic.
Ponayno...ponawno!
Soon the animal stampede comes to its end. Harry stands up,
and with the others, see the Galapagos tortoise lagging
behind.
Chang grins.
4.
CHANG (CONTD)
Ha! You jerk off! You thought you
could outrun the hare! Hell fucking
naw -- youre slow as shit.
EMILY
Look at that, dad. You were wrong.
CHANG
Its not my fault. Hes on drugs.
(points to hare)
Youre on drugs! Get off the smack,
and turn your life around!
MINDY
Are you actually suggesting a hare
is on drugs?
HARRY
(grinning)
Whoa! This furry, little creature
knows how to par-tay!
Harry goes over to the hare, and, except for standing, starts
flailing his limbs just like it. Its very weird looking.
Chang, Mindy, and Emily appear to be quite uncomfortable with
this display of dancing. Its seen on their twisted faces.
HARRY
No, no, NO! Stop, David Cameron!
Stop fucking that pig! What did
Snowball ever do to you to deserve
this type of treatment?! For
Godsakes hes not even 2 years old!
You sick, nasty, dirty, British
pervert! Ah, NO! Get off of me! Im
fat, but Im not a pig! You are
very mistaken, sir!
5.
The nightmare awakes Harry. He sits up, and opens his eyes,
breathing heavily.
HARRY (CONTD)
Oh, thank God! David Camerons not
here!
MINDY
Harry, when youre done eating,
dont forget to change your
clothes.
HARRY
Why do I have to change my clothes?
CHANG
Were going to a funeral.
HARRY
Awww, man. I hate funerals. Theyre
so depressing.
EMILY
Well, d-uh, what do you expect?
Rainbows and sparklers? Funerals
are supposed to be depressing;
theyre about dead people.
CRAIG
Ah-ha-ha! Dead people. Thats
funny. Im a robot, so I dont have
to worry about death. Ill still be
alive when you guys are all dead.
(frowns)
Thats kind of sad actually.
HARRY
So, who exactly is this carcass
well be visiting?
6.
CHANG
Hercules Horowitz. Someone I used
to work with. He was a brilliant
engineer, and scientist. He
invented a device that translates
baby talk into real words. He got
the idea from an episode of The
Simpsons.
HARRY
How did he die?
CHANG
He was brutally murdered. Someone
just snapped his neck like a twig.
Or a pencil, if you will.
HARRY
Who, who killed him?
CHANG
Nobody knows. I mean, its a total
mystery. Who is actually strong
enough to snap an engineers neck?
EMILY
Um, Vladimir Putin?
MINDY
Yep. I can definitely see Vladimir
Putin snapping an engineers
neck...or the necks of small, tiny,
innocent children. Heh. Thats
crazy. Im crazy for thinking that,
right?
MINDY (CONTD)
Okay then.
They take a few steps forward, and then suddenly stop. They
appear to be in great shock upon spotting something laying on
the ground -- though Chang only a moment later instead seems
rather annoyed.
7.
CHANG
Alright! Who left this dead body on
the ground?
CHANG
(yawns)
Hello? Can I help you two?
PLUNK
Howdy, partner. You called about a
dead body?
CHANG
Jeez Louise! That was ONE week ago.
You took one week to answer a call
about a dead body?
DUNK
Dead bodies are not really a
priority for us, unless one is
being created -- if you know what I
mean.
CHANG
I do know what you mean, and I
think thats terrible. The body I
found was a real, human being, who
had a life, and a family, and some
other bullshit. I dunno, a, uh, pet
mongoose. You get my point.
DUNK
Yah, yah, wheres the corpse?
They turn around, and spot the corpse, which is stinky, and
rotting. They seem a bit dumbfounded that they didnt notice
it in the first place.
PLUNK
Hmm, I thought something smelled
like Parmesan cheese.
EMMA
Hey. Theres a note on the door.
Emily rolls her eyes, and tears off the note. Everyone
gathers to hear her read it aloud.
EMILY
(reading)
Youre dead! Youre all dead!
EMILY (CONTD)
(reading)
Ha-ha! Just kidding. Ha-ha! Did any
of your shit your pants?
Emma, and Emily look at Harry. Harry shakes his head no.
EMILY (CONTD)
(continues reading)
Anyway, weve gone off to get
revenge in Russia. Theres money on
the kitchen counter, so order
yourself some food, and dont have
a party. Take care. Love Mom, and
Dad.
EMMA
What in the fuck?
9.
Russia...
CHANG
(gestures)
Go! Go! Go!
The two run for the chimney. Chang throws the fire
extinguisher down the chimney.
VLADIMIR PUTIN
Gentlemen, we dont have a choice.
We must destroy the United States
of America. They are responsible
for the greatest cancer on this
Earth: Microsoft.
BORIS
(clears throats)
Wait a minute, Vladimir. Last week
you said the greatest cancer on
Earth was the people of Russia.
VLADIMIR PUTIN
Boris, listen to me. Changing your
mind is not a sign of weakness; it
is a sign of maturity.
CHANG
Hello, boys!
Vladimir, and his men, reach their hands under their table,
and each take out an AK-47. They aim them at Chang, and
Mindy.
CHANG (CONTD)
(grinning)
Ha-ha-ha! You losers! I am
invincible!
Chang grins, and then reaches into his back pocket, and
retrieves a high-tech looking grenade. He lobs it over the
shield protecting him, and lands it on the table of Vladimir.
The high-tech looking grenade lets out what look like many
bolts of lightening.
And they shock Vlad and all of his men unconscious. They drop
to the floor, and besides a few twitches, dont do much of
any moving.
Magic-shield down, Mindy, and Chang go to the far end of the
table to confront Vladimir Putin.
VLADIMIR PUTIN
You may have crushed me, but you
have not crushed the Russian
people. Their economy will do that
to them.
Chang grabs Vladimir Putin by his cloth, and lifts him off
his feet.
CHANG
Who killed Hercules Horowitz?! I
know you were involved!
11.
VLADIMIR PUTIN
Ah-ha-ha! Horowitz killed himself!
That bleeding heart Liberal. His
love of animals betrayed him.
MINDY
What does that mean?
VLADIMIR PUTIN
It means -- fuck you, figure it out
on your own!
Vladimir Putin closes his eyes, and passes out. His head
flops to the side.
CHANG
(disappointed)
Ah, son of a bitch.
Chang folds his arms in anger, and Mindy puts a hand on his
shoulder to console him.
HARRY
We are living in strange times,
people. 19 people, in our city,
yesterday were murdered via neck
snapping. And I admit at first I
didnt care, but then someone
murdered our beloved ice cream man.
HARRY (CONTD)
What sort of monster couldve done
something like this?!
12.
EMILY
Get your shit together, boy! We
need you to keep a level head!
HARRY
Youre right. I need to be a man.
Also, I guess I can just get ice
cream at the grocery store. But
its not really the same, is it?
EMMA
Everyone, focus.
EMMA (CONTD)
If we want to catch the murderer,
or dare I say murderers, we must
collect evidence. Without evidence
we have nothing.
EMILY EMMA
We should set up a trap. We should set up a trap.
HARRY
What sort of trap? We dont know
anything about the killer.
EMILY
Not so. We know the killers M-O.
EMILY (CONTD)
He always leaves behind a banana
peel.
HARRY
Why?
13.
EMILY
Low potassium? I dont know, but we
can use it against him.
The Russian Assassin now grabs Chang by his shirt, and slams
him into a wall.
Chang, using both his hands, grabs the arm holding the knife,
and pushes it away, then lets off a knee strike into the
Russian Assassins groin.
The Russian Assassin catches his leg, and sweeps him to the
floor.
Chang tries to pull his hands off but cannot. The Russian
Assassin is too strong.
MINDY
You know Im always here for you.
CRAIG
Aloha, everyone!
CHANG
Hey, you were supposed to be
keeping watch.
CRAIG
Im sorry, I was updating my
system.
15.
CHANG
Oh, really?
CRAIG
Yeah, and I was, ah...
(whispers)
...watching interracial, robot
porn.
MINDY
Whats interracial robot porn?
CRAIG
Have you ever seen a Mac and PC
fuck each other real hard?
MINDY CHANG
No. Yes.
CHANG
MEN!
HARRY
This is a stupid idea.
EMILY
Its not.
EMMA
He will come. Believe me. Free
organic bananas are very tempting.
HARRY
(sighs)
Alright, whatever.
16.
Emily, Harry, and Emma turn around, and face the window to
look down.
EMILY
(to Emma)
Quick! Activate the claw!
Its Harry.
Emma, and Emily glance back, and find Harry is not with them,
then they go back to Harry, and give him a searing glare.
EMILY (CONTD)
Harry! What the fuck are you doing
out there?
HARRY
I was hungry.
EMMA
But why are you dressed up in a
trench coat?
HARRY
I didnt want anyone to know. D-uh.
EMILY
(groans)
Oh my God.
Emma gasps.
EMMA
Its the actual murder suspect!
Emma, Emily, and Harry stare at the roof, and see Rockhold
pick up a banana.
Rockhold peels the banana, and eats it, and beats his chest,
and roars.
17.
EMILY
What the hell?
(to Emma)
Quick! Do something?!
EMMA
Uh...
Emma, and Emily come down a ladder, and get onto the roof.
They are oriented in a way such that they are a few feet back
but in front of Harry, who is on top of Rockhold.
EMMA (CONTD)
Harry, are you okay?
HARRY
Do I look okay?
EMMA
Yes.
HARRY
Well, Im not. Im emotionally
scarred.
HARRY (CONTD)
I mean, you used me as a sack of
potatoes. What were you thinking?
Are you out of your mind?!
HARRY (CONTD)
I mean, Emma, youre such a goober!
I dont think we should be friends
anymore. Im way too good for you.
You hear me? You, you foolish,
little, uh, white --
EMILY
Harry, look out!
18.
Rockhold then takes Harry, and puts him over his shoulder,
and runs away with a deft quickness that only an animal could
do. He jumps off the rooftop, and disappears.
Emma, and Emily go to the roofs edge to look down, and see
nothing.
EMILY (CONTD)
Aw, crap.
EMMA
I know this isnt the time, nor
place, but its kinda funny. I just
realized we did that, uh, movie
thing.
EMILY
Huh?
EMMA
You know, in the movies when
theres something behind someone,
and theyre not paying attention,
but the characters in front can
see, and for some reason they cant
speak, but theyre pointing, and
being ignored. Then BAM! The
monster attacks!
EMILY
(pleased)
Oh, yeah. We did do that trope.
Wow. Ha. Thats...mildly
interesting.
Emma nods.
PLUNK
(on phone)
Howdy, partner!
(listens)
Yes, I am a real police officer.
(more listening)
Okay. Okay. Yep. Yep. I gotcha.
Thats kinda weird, but if you say
so. Uh-huh. Yah, I know. No, thats
not a thing we do anymore. Alright,
talk to you later. Peace out!
PLUNK (CONTD)
Officer Dunk, prepare your anus.
DUNK
Uhhh, what?
PLUNK
Someone just called saying they
know who the infamous neck snapper
is.
DUNK
Go on.
PLUNK
A fucking gorilla, biiitch!
DUNK
A gorilla bitch?
PLUNK
No, just a gorilla. The bitch part
was for, ah, dramatic effect.
DUNK
Oh, okay... Goddamnit.
HARRY
Eeeee! Let me go, you big meanie!
On the ROOF, Rockhold gets out a rope, and ties up Harry into
a bundle, and places him near half a dozen barrels.
Back to GROUND LEVEL -- Emma, and Emily come running onto the
scene.
Rockholds head peeks out from the roof, and peers down.
EMMA
(gasps)
There he is!
EMILY
That son of a bitch...! Alright,
Emma, I think its time to use our
spider gear.
They get onto the face of the building, and start climbing
up.
Rockhold meanwhile is on the ROOF beside Harry.
HARRY
(to Rockhold)
You wont get away with this! Good
always wins! Whether Im good, or
not, thats sort of debatable.
Emily, and Emma see the barrel falling. They easily leap out
of the way.
With their best timing, both Emma, and Emily narrowly avoid
the barrel onslaught.
21.
Now Emily, and Emma get to the top of Kong Tower. They get
over the edge, and on their feet, see Harry, and the two
remaining barrels -- but no Rockhold.
EMMA
Harry! Are you okay?
HARRY
Hes still here!
EMILY
You what now?
Emily ducks down, but Emma whos behind gets nailed. The
barrel crashes into her, and knocks her out cold.
EMILY (CONTD)
Dude, what the fuck!
But Rockhold dont care, and he tosses the last barrel on the
roof like a bowling ball.
Emily jumps up, and gets into the air -- but the barrel
catches the bottom of her legs, and causes her to spin out of
control, and slam down into the ground, flat on her face.
ROCKHOLD
Silence, fatty!
ROCKHOLD (CONTD)
Prepare to meet your maker.
EMILY
Wait. Before you kill me. I have to
ask you a question... Why? Why kill
all these people?
22.
ROCKHOLD
Revenge.
EMILY
Revenge?
ROCKHOLD
On the human race! Because they
treat us animals with nothing but
cruelty! Like we are scum! Like we
are monsters! Like we are the
detritus between their toes!
(heavy, angry breathing)
And so shall I do the same to them.
EMILY
Maaan, you so crazy!
HARRY
You Goddamn, dirty ape! Let go of
my sister!
ROCKHOLD
And if I dont, what are you going
to do to me?
HARRY
Ill call the cops!
ROCKHOLD
Mwah-ha-ha! And can they hear you
from up here?
HARRY
Hey! Police! Hello! The murderer is
over here!
PLUNK (O.S.)
Hold it, scumbag!
DUNK
Let go of the girl, or well have
no choice but to shoot!
Harry still tied up, sees Emily, and Plunk, and Dunk gather
around the corpse of the intelligent ape named Rockhold.
DUNK (CONTD)
It was just a squirt gun. He wasnt
trying to hurt us...!
Plunk howls.
PLUNK
Nooooooooo!
EMILY
You do remember that he snapped the
necks of numerous, innocent people,
right?
Plunk lifts his head.
PLUNK
Oh, yeah.
DUNK
Uh...
MINDY
Chang, can you please get me some
water? My throats parched.
CHANG
Sure thing, honey.
Chang LEAVES THE COCKPIT and enters the CABIN AREA. He walks
down the aisle, and notices at the end something that looks
like a convoluted, high tech canister, that has lights, metal
pieces, and numerous computer parts.
CHANG (CONTD)
(confused)
What the hell is this?
CHANG (CONTD)
(gasps)
Hercules Horowitz!?
HOROWITZ
In the flesh.
CHANG
I thought you were dead.
HOROWITZ
Nay, my dear Chang. I merely made a
clone of my body, and faked my
death to pursue a higher goal of
mine.
CHANG
Which is?
HOROWITZ
Im not gonna tell you. That will
allow you to foil my plans.
CHANG
Please?
25.
HOROWITZ
Alright, since you said the magic
word -- and I cant resist.
HOROWITZ (CONTD)
This is an experimental device I
salvaged from the brain project.
Once activated, it will spread self-
replicating nanorobots all over the
world, and transform all higher
life forms, like apes, and monkeys,
into intelligent beings. It will
essentially create a planet of the
apes.
MINDY (O.S.)
Chang! Wheres that water?!
CHANG
(to Mindy)
Coming!
HOROWITZ
And thats pretty much it.
CHANG
Horowitz, why would you do that?
You have such a brilliant mind.
HOROWITZ
I care about animals. A lot. Some
might even say sexually.
CHANG
Uh, okaaaay, and what do you want
from me?
HOROWITZ
I need one final piece to complete
my device. Hand over the Rayolator.
CHANG
I dont have it.
HOROWITZ
Dont make me shoot you in the
face.
CHANG
Okay, I do have it.
26.
HOROWITZ
Thank you, Chang. Youve done the
right thing.
But just below we see Chang, and Mindy free falling, with
parachute packs on their backs.
CHANG
Eaghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!
Back home...
HARRY
Craig, do you know where my parents
are?
CRAIG
Yes. Theyre taking a vacation in a
place called I-dont-give-a-fuck-
istan.
EMILY
Thats not a real country.
27.
Back to Craig, Emily, and Harry who are still in the living
room.
HARRY
Emily, Im not a pussy for being
concerned about mom, and dad.
EMILY
Bro, relax. Theyre fine.
CRAIG
Nah, probably not. Your dad is kind
of an idiot.
EMILY
And what makes you so much smarter?
CRAIG
Ask me any question, and I can
answer it.
HARRY
Whats 5,919 x 267?
CRAIG
1,580,373.
HARRY
Wow! Hes right!
EMILY
Oh, okay, so you can answer any
question, huh?
CRAIG
Yes. Of course.
EMILY
Well, tell me: What does this say?
CRAIG
It says, uh...
CRAIG (CONTD)
...Fuck you! I dont need this!
EMILY
No, it says: LYNN flextime!
MINDY
What are you --
CHANG
Aghhh! Y-you maniacs! You blew it
up! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!
Mother fuckers!
MINDY
I dont think Charleton Heston said
mother fuckers.
(gets an idea)
Oooh, wait, I have an idea! Chang,
stand back.
Chang gets to his feet, and stands back. Mindy uses her wand,
and zaps his sand sculpture, and turns it into a real statue.
CHANG
Whoa! Ive always wondered what was
inside the Statue of Liberty.
And Mindy uses her wand to make a little door upon the Statue
of Liberty.
TOURIST (O.S.)
Can you take a picture for us?
CHANG (O.S.)
(grumbling)
Oh, alright. Fine.
TOURIST (O.S.)
Thank you very much.
CHANG (O.S.)
Yah, yah, dont mention it.
FADE OUT.
