S1E7 "Team Spirit", (Monster Prom Half-Alive)

INT. CLASSROOM -MORNING

Students in class listening to the morning announcements.
Most are bored or apathetic. Vicky is fidgeting in her seat
at her desk.

 

                     P.A.
         The results of the bake sale
         include three lawsuits against the
         school: A new low record. And
         today’s lunch will be: Plastic.

                     OZ
               (disappointed)
         Aww, we had plastic for lunch
         yesterday!

 

Oz notices Vicky seemingly about to explode with
anticipation.

 

                     OZ
         Hey Vicky, are you-?

                     VICKY
               (excited)
         It’s so hard for me to concentrate,
         knowing prom is in just a few
         hours! It’s finally happening! I
         CAN’T WAIT!!  

 

In her excitement, she then teleports soundlessly around 
the scene. Under desks, out of a nearby window, on the ceiling, 
behind Brian, exploding out of the back wall, until returning to 
her seat.

 

                     VICKY
      PROOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

                     P.A.
         And finally, Prom is being delayed
         until the 8th of the month.

                     VICKY
         …What?

 

Vicky makes a “capital D colon” face.

 ==========

EXT. ???-MORNING

 

POV

Vicky’s eyes slowly adjust to daylight. Blinks when the
light of day is too much for her.

 

CLOSE UP

Vicky on the ground, outside on some grass. She is irritated
at sound and light, eyes closed. She groans, tries to shield
her eyes from the sunlight by raising her arm over her head.

 

ANGLE ON

Vicky struggling to sit up. Her hair is disheveled, her
clothes are unkempt and loose. A bare shoulder is exposed,
which she fixes. Then she makes a startling discovery.

 

ZOOM IN

One of her arms is missing. A dramatic music sting.

 

                     VICKY
               (gasps)
         My arm!!

 

BEAT

 

ZOOM OUT

 

                     VICKY
               (mildly frustrated)
         Where the heck did I leave it?

 

She looks around, and spies debris all around her. She looks
up and sees Oz resting on his stomach at the top of an
electrical pole.

 

                     VICKY
         …Oz? OZ!

 

ANGLE ON

 

Oz is lying on his stomach on top of the electrical pole. He
is asleep, and is woken up hearing someone call his name.
Vicky and Oz shout to each other.

 

                     OZ
         Huh? Oh, hey Vicky!

                     VICKY
         How’d you get up there??

                     OZ
         …That’s a very good question!

                     VICKY
         Why don’t you come down??

                     OZ
         ...I would very much like to get down!
         Do you have a ladder? Or a very
         tall man?

                     VICKY
         I’ll have a look-see!

                     OZ
         Wait, Vicky!

                     VICKY
         What??

                     OZ
         …It can be a very tall woman!
         Preferably!

 

Vicky looks around for something to help Oz down from the
electrical pole.

 

POV

Vicky scanning her surroundings.

 

PAN RIGHT

The sight of a construction crane, a giraffe, a shovel and a
trampoline the shovel is resting on. The shot is about to
pass the trampoline but then pans back quickly and zooms in
on it.

 

CLOSEUP

Vicky is struck with inspiration.

 

                     VICKY
         I have an idea.

 

ANGLE ON

Vicky digging a hole with the shovel, right next to the pole.

 

ANGLE ON

Vicky pushing the pole from the other side so it leans into
the hole. The pole tips, then leans, then plummets quickly,
leaving Oz dangling like a flag, holding on for dear life.

The pole eventually hits the diagonal hole. Oz is holding
onto the pole with his arms and legs, even though he is only
a few feet off of the ground.

 

                     VICKY
         Alright, come on down!

 

Oz shakes his head.

 

                     OZ
         Mmm-mm!

                     VICKY
         It’s okay, you’re almost there!

                     OZ
         No.

                     VICKY
               (coaxing him)
         Come on, it’s not that far, you can
         do it!

 

Vicky pats her knee with her arm like she’s trying to coax a
cat down from a tree.

 

                     OZ
               (scared)
         I don’t wanna!

                     VICKY
               (sighs)
         Alright, hold on.

Vicky walks out of the frame. Then we hear her making sounds
of physical effort. She drags the trampoline into the frame
underneath Oz.

 

                     VICKY
         Alright, just let go!

                     OZ
         …You promise I won’t break all of
         my things?

                     VICKY
         Oz, COME ON!

                     OZ
         Alright! Here I go!

 

Oz lets go, lands on the trampoline and is... bounced back onto
the pole. In the exact same position before he let go.

 

                     OZ
         …Alright, I’m-a try that one more
         time.

 

Oz lets go, lands on the trampoline and is bounced INTO the
pole, severely hurting him. His limp body lands back on the
the trampoline.

 

                     VICKY
         See? That wasn’t so bad, was it?

                     OZ
               (groans in pain)

 

The giraffe enters into the frame and starts licking and
eating Oz’s hair.

EXT. SPOOKY HIGH AUDITORIUM -MORNING

Students at Spooky High are auditioning for a school play.
They are all gathered at the front of the outdoor auditorium,
which is near a small building offshoot of the school.

The drama teacher addresses the crowd. 

 

                     DRAMA TEACHER
         Today we’ll be holding auditions
         for “Hark! A Vagina!”.

 

ANGLE ON

 

All of the students listening to what the teacher is saying.

 

                     DRAMA TEACHER(V.O.)
         It’s a tale of Love, Betrayal,
         Financing, Conquest and Dubstep.

 

ANGLE ON

 

The teacher further explaining.

 

                     DRAMA TEACHER
         Now, this is an ELECTIVE, so you
         don’t need to participate in order
         to graduate but-

 

ANGLE ON

 

The students again, but now only a handful remain, all of
which are named characters from previous installments of
Monster Prom. 

SFX: The sounds of hurried walking footsteps and cars
speeding away.

 

ANGLE ON

 

The teacher seeing this.

 

                     DRAMA TEACHER
         …Alright, well that simplifies
         things. I suppose now we just have
         to assign each of you roles. One of
         you will have to play 17 people.

 

                     POLLY
         OOH! Meeeee!

 

                     VICKY
         No, Polly, not DO. PLAY 17
         characters!

 

                     POLLY
         I can impersonate a bunch of peeps.
         It’s not all about sex stuff with
         me, you know. Unless there’s a sex
         scene in it, then hell yeah!
         Nipple-time!

 

                     OZ
         You sure you’re up for that?

 

                     POLLY
         I’m already seeing 17 of you!

 

                     VICKY
         That doesn’t help you though.

 

                     POLLY
         Oh… Maybe we should get everyone
         else shit-faced instead, make THEM
         see 17 of me!

 

                     VICKY
         Yeah, let’s make this a show to
         remember!

 

Oz takes out a calculator, and begins typing into it.

 

                     OZ
         17 characters times 2, that’d be…
         34 nipples.

 

                     POLLY
         Sweet! That’ll beat my record by 5!

A teacher is taking attendance.

 

                     TEACHER
         Alright, time to take attendance in
         no particular order. “Vicky Schmidt”?

 

                     VICKY
         Here!

         “Brian Yu.”

                less enthused)

 

                     TEACHER
         “Oz”… Huh.

 

The teacher notices something peculiar on their notes. They
address Oz, who is hunched over in his seat in a display of
un-confidence.

 

                     TEACHER
         Oz, I don’t have your last name
         written down.

 

                     OZ
         Oh, uh… I don’t have a last name.
         Also, present.

 

                     VICKY
         Wait, really? What are your
         parents’ or guardians’ last name?

 

                     OZ
         I don’t have those either.

 

CUT TO

 

In another seat in the same class, Vera Oberlin overhears
this. For most of the conversation she is filing her nails,
but hearing Oz mention his lack of parents catches her
attention.

 

                     VICKY(V.O.)
         Do you live alone?

 

                     BRIAN(V.O.)
         He’s got his own apartment. I went
         there a little while back.

 

                     OZ(V.O.)
         It’s not fancy. It’s more like a
         studio cardboard box.

 

                     VICKY(V.O.)
         How can you afford that even?

 

                     OZ(V.O.)
         I’m on disability.

 

CUT TO

 

The protagonists.

 

                     AMIRA
         That’s a fancy way of saying you’re
         a cheapskate.

 

                     OZ
         I have to be. That’s why I don’t
         buy a video game until it’s on sale
         for less than 20 bucks.

 

CUT TO

 

Vera raises a single eyebrow, mildly impressed to hear
Oz is careful with money.

 

CUT TO

 

The protagonists.

 

                     BRIAN
         Yeah, I was wondering why every
         game you own was from the
         mid-2000’s.

 

                     OZ
         I didn’t know that the cake was a
         lie until 2015.

 

                     VICKY
         Were you in foster care?

 

                     OZ
         …Something like that.

 

                     VICKY
         Man, that’s rough. I’ve been there.

 

SLOW ZOOM IN

 

Vicky about to share her tragic upbringing. Sad royalty-free
violin music plays but is then cut off.

==========

FADE IN  

 

INT. SHOPPING MALL -DAY

 

In a shopping mall, inside of a clothing store that wishes it
was in a more upscale neighborhood, there is one (1) Vicky
and a singular Amira. Vicky is tired from spending the night
doing Liam’s homework.

Vicky is sitting on a wide padded ottoman. Disheveled hair,
bags under her eyes, keeping her head held up with the palm
of her hand.

Amira is holding up two dresses she picked from a clothing
rack. One of them has a disgruntled unicorn on it.

 

                     AMIRA
         Alright, it’s almost the weekend!
         And my date with Damien is coming
         up! You think these show off too
         MUCH titty, orrrrr not enough?

 

                     VICKY
             (barely conscious)
         Sure…

 

Amira is unamused.

 

                     AMIRA
         …Anyone ever tell you you’re fun
         to be around?

 

                     VICKY
         I’m sorry, I’m still pretty wiped
         from last night. Not only did I
         have to do Liam’s homework, I had
         to mimic his hand-writing. It’s
         like learning seven languages that
         were only in a sci-fi show for one
         season! Except I like those!

 

                     AMIRA
         I thought you were tryin’ to get in
         Scott’s shorts.

 

                     VICKY
         Liam said he’d help us out if I did
         it.

 

                     AMIRA
         Has he?

 

                     VICKY
         I don’t know, I’m too tired.

 

                     AMIRA
         Maybe I should have made Brian or
         Oz come here instead.

 

CUT TO

 

INT. OZ’S APARTMENT -DAY

 

Brian and Oz are on a couch playing video games. They are
silent, concentrating solely on the activity, until one of
them shares a thought.

 

                     BRIAN
         ...Hey, Oz, I got one for ya: “Barf.
         Vader.”

 

                     OZ
         Oh yeah? …“Puke Skywalker.”

 

                     BRIAN
         "Jabba the Slut"?

 

Oz takes a moment to consider his next move.

 

                     OZ
         "General Griev-ASS.“

 

                     BRIAN
         Not bad, not bad.

 

BEAT

 

                     BRIAN
         "Jar-Jar… Twinks?”

 

OZ emits a less-than-impressed sound.

 

                     BRIAN
         Yeah I’m not really feeling that
         one either.

 

                     OZ
         God, what other characters are
         there to do that with? All I can
         think of is… “Emperor…
         Pooty-Tang”?

 

This gets a chuckle from Brian.

 

                     BRIAN
         Okay, that’s only good because of
         how bad it is.

 

                     OZ
         Yeah…

 

At this point they resume silent concentration on their
video game. A long, LONG silence follows, until a look of
intense inspiration lights up in Brian’s eyes. He puts down
the controller, stands up triumphantly and declares:

 

                     BRIAN
         "GEORGE MUCUS!!“

 

Victory fanfare music plays, confetti showers them from
offscreen, and a decorative banner is lowered behind them.
Brian has his arms spread out, and two lithe, delicate,
long-gloved arms from offscreen place a crown on top of
Brian’s head, and another gives him a bouquet of flowers. Oz
has stood and begun politely clapping. Brian closes his eyes
and basks in his accomplishment.

 

CUT TO

 

INT. SHOPPING MALL -DAY

 

Back to Amira and Vicky.

         Nah, we shouldn’t bother them.
         They’re probably doing something
         important.

INT. VICKY’S BEDROOM -AFTERNOON

 

CLOSE UP

 

Polly the frisky ghost girl is speaking, but she is at an odd 
angle in the frame.

 

                     POLLY
               (Playful)
         Oh no, I’m stuck! I sure hope no
         one has their way with me while I’m
         powerless to resist!

 

ANGLE ON

 

Polly underneath the table in the centre of Vicky’s
bedroom, hoping to re-enact a recent trend in pornography.
Vicky, Oz and Brian are also there doing homework. They are
all fully-clothed.

 

                     VICKY
         Polly, you’re a ghost, you can go
         through solid walls. You’re the
         least “stuck” of anyone.

Polly's starts kicking her legs poking out from under the table.

                     POLLY
         UGH, come on! This is so boring!
         Someone at least smack my butt
         or something.

 

Brian (who, like everyone else is fully clothed) looks to Oz.

 

                     BRIAN
         You heard the lady.

 

Oz panics, and his hand moves near and away Polly repeatedly, 
uncertain of whether to risk it all. 

                     OZ
               (flustered)
         I- uh but uh, uhhhh, buh-

 

                     POLLY
         Aww forget it.

 

Polly phases up through the table, sending papers and
writing utensils off. She adjusts her white tank-top.

 

                     VICKY
         Hey, you wanted help with your
         History homework.

 

                     POLLY
         I didn’t think I’d be involved! I
         thought you’d do it for me and I
         could go inject stuff into my
         eyeballs!

 

                     OZ
         How do you do that? Wouldn’t the
         needle go through your form, like
         the table just did?

 

                     POLLY
         I can put anything on me I want! Or
         in me.  And I do!

 

                     VICKY
         It’s too bad Amira isn’t here.
         She’d take you up on that offer.

 

                     POLLY
         I know! But she just had to go and
         be in critical condition.

INT. AMIRA’S HOSPITAL ROOM -AFTERNOON

 

Amira in a hospital bed while a nurse is adjusting a machine
she is hooked up to. She is being very critical of everything.

         You’re not doing that right. And
         your haircut sucks.

INT. VICKY’S BEDROOM -AFTERNOON

 

                     POLLY
         Why are you even here? I thought I
         gave my homework to Oz.

 

                     VICKY
         It’ll go faster if we all work on
         it together.

 

                     BRIAN
         That’s a nice way of saying Oz
         panicked and begged us for help.

 

                     OZ
         If I do your assignment AND mine,
         they’d know the same person wrote
         both!

 

                     POLLY
         Not if you just put a couple of the
         answers different on each!

 

                     OZ
         Ooh, you know what,
         that IS smart.

 

                     BRIAN
         If you’re smart enough to know how
         to cheat, what do you need us for?

 

                     POLLY
         Well Green, what’s smarter: doing
         the work yourself like a chump, or
         getting other people to do it for
         you?


Polly leans back and lowers her sunglasses down so
they cover her eyes.

 

                     VICKY
         Speaking of doing stuff, I hope you
         remember to hold up your end of our
         bargain.

 

                     POLLY
         Relax Vicky, I didn’t forget! I’ll
         get you that weapons-grade
         plutonium!

 

                     OZ
         Dates for prom.

 

                     POLLY
         …Huh?

 

                     VICKY
         You said you’d help us get dates
         for the prom.

 

                     POLLY
         Oh… OH! Hey real quick, I gotta
         call someone about something
         unrelated.

 

Polly floats offscreen while calling someone on her phone.

 

                     POLLY
         Heeeey, Faraj! Buddy! How’s the
         whole “Uprising” treating ya?

 

Oz leans in toward the table to whisper something.

 

                     OZ
               (Whispers)
         Vicky, are you sure about this?

 

                     VICKY
               (Whispers)
         Hey, she may be… A lot. But she’s
         giving us a chance.

 

                     BRIAN
               (Whispers)
         On the bright side, she’s showing
         us a lot too.

 

                     VICKY
               (Whispers)
         Alright, alright, don’t be rude.

 

Polly floats back into the scene.

 

                     POLLY
         Welp, so much for that country’s
         nuclear program. Good news though:
         I’ve proven I can set up horrible
         people with each other without even
         trying. So there’s hope for you!

         That’s great, Polly!

 

                     BRIAN
         Alright then, what tips have you
         got for us?

 

                     OZ
         Yeah, how do we convince hot people

                     POLLY

get parodied years later.
