ANDY TO THE RESCUE! The Movie
« Reply #21 on: March 13, 2007, 06:40:57 PM »

Delete this if it's too large. It's in screenplay format.

               INT. ROCKET SHIP -- DAY

               Andy, the rocket ship pilot checks his watch.

                                     ANDY
                         We have only ten minutes until
                         midnight.

                                     KEVIN
                              (with Scottish accent)
                         But Cap'n!  We've got to get that
                         shipment of templates to the people
                         down below!  They're shaking apart,
                         Cap'n!  They can't take much more of
                         this, Cap'n!

                                     ANDY
                         Yes, you are correct, Kevin, but the
                         hackers have disrupted the server
                         and effected delivery!

                                     KEVIN
                         Aye, Cap'n, but they will mutiny if
                         we can't deliverer!

               Kevin looks anxiously.

               Andy rubs his chin, sweat pours from his forehead.

               EXT. PLANET SURFACE -- DAY

               An angry and trembling crowd gathers.

                                     CHRIS
                         What'll we do, Dave?  What'll we do? 
                         What if Andy and Kevin are late? 
                         Huh?  What about that?  Huh?

                                     MATTHEW
                         They won't be late!

                                     JAMES S
                         Grow up, man!  You acting like your
                         16!

                                     DAVE
                         Leave him alone!

               Dave's authoritative voice reverberates through the canyon.

                                     DAVE (CONT'D)
                         They've not let us down yet!

               Dave wipes the sweat from his brow as another shiver surges
               through his body.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                         2.


                                     DAN L
                         Good grief, Dave, those shakes are
                         getting worse!  Let me build a
                         template for you...

                                     DAVE
                              (interrupting)
                         No!  I'll be fine.  We only have a
                         few minutes.  I have every confidence
                         in Andy and Kevin.

                Someone runs up to the group.

                                     THOMAS NEILSEN
                         The members are getting restless. 
                         There's talk of a mutiny!

               Dave whips around.

                                     DAVE
                         Mutiny?

                                     THOMAS NEILSEN
                         They're threatening to download their
                         templates from that cheap knock-off
                         site that stole Andy's work!

                                     DAN L
                         But, I can build them a template
                         that will hold them over, if I can
                         just...

                                     DAVE
                         Wait!!  They will be here.

                                     CHRIS
                         But what if they're not?  Huh?  What
                         if they took all the membership money
                         and flew the coup and left us with
                         no support?

                                     VOICES FROM THE CROWD
                         Mutiny!

               INT. ROCKET SHIP -- DAY

               Andy and Kevin aboard the rocket ship.

                                     KEVIN
                         Cap'n!  The templates are too heavy. 
                         We need to dump some code - and module
                         position User 2 is refusing to
                         collapse!  THE TEMPLATE IS BREAKING
                         APART, CAP'N!

                                     ANDY
                         My God, man!
                                     (MORE)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                         3.


                                     ANDY (CONT'D)
                         Pull yourself together and expedite
                         the repairs.  We have cloud cover
                         down below.  It's going to be a hell
                         of a ride.

               EXT. ROCKET SHIP -- DAY

               The RT rocket ship begins to enter the atmosphere.

               Heat and flames surround the rocket!

               It shakes.

               Suddenly a long distance shortwave signal is heard on the two-way radio.

                                    VOICE ON RADIO
                        Can you folks hear me? My batteries are running low!

                                    KEVIN
                       Andy, It's GollumX! He's checking in from Fuji!

                                    GOLLUMX
                        Andy, have you released that template yet? Please, you have to hurry!
                        Those guys from India are eating my lunch!!

               EXT. PLANET SURFACE -- DAY

               The crowd hears an explosion.

               They look upward (and onward).

                                     MIKE VANKIRK
                         Look!  They're breaking the sound
                         barrier! Hey! Stop scaring my parrots!!

               Another more terrible shiver courses through Dave's body.

               Two RT members notice Dave shaking badly.

                                     YOUYOU
                          I think that if Dave's menu system
                         were coded correctly he'd...

                                     DAMO
                         Leave him alone.  There's nothing
                         that can be done.  It will take a
                         new template release to settle the
                         situation for him - and all of us,
                         God help our souls!

               INT. ROCKET SHIP -- DAY

                                     ANDY
                         Look!  Who's that down there?  I
                         can't make the image out.  He's very
                         dark.

                                     KEVIN
                         I can just make him out - the beard,
                         the longish hair - yes, that's Roland!

                                     ANDY
                         Ah!  He's lightened up his image. 
                         Good!
                              (to Kevin)
                         Get ready to land!  We'll make that
                         deadline if it kills us!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                         4.


               EXT. PLANET SURFACE -- DAY

               The RT rocket ship shakes wildly.

               Dave shakes wildly.

               The RT rocket ship settles down.

               Dave settles down.

               The RT rocket ship begins to shake wildly again.

               Dave shakes wildly too.

                                     DAVID YORK
                         Quick! Dave needs a chair!  What
                         should I get?

                                     MATTHEW
                         A Herman Miller Aeron!  That's the
                         only chair that will hold together
                         while Dave gyrates like that.

                                     PETER OSIPOF
                         I agree!  That's a comfortable chair,
                         but it's too pricy!!

                                     YVES
                         But Andy has two of them at home!  I
                         hope he brings one!

                                     ROLAND
                         Hic!  Does Andy have any Miller beer?

                                     DAVID YORK
                         My God, man!  Dave's shaking worse
                         than Rush Limbaugh imitating a popular
                         TV actor, and all you can think of
                         is beer?

                                     ROBERT WAGERS
                         If Andy doesn't get here soon I'll
                         strap Dave into MY chair!!

               INT. ROCKET SHIP -- DAY

                                     KEVIN
                         Oh my gosh!!  We are just moments
                         from landing and the Forge has just
                         gone down!  We can't deliver, Cap'n!!

                                     ANDY
                         The ship is on autopilot.  I'll have
                         to take a look at the Forge.  I'll
                         be a little while.  Take over, Kevin.

                                     KEVIN
                         WHAT WILL WE DO???

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                         5.


               ANNOUNCER: Will Andy fix the Forge and deliver the template? 
               Will the gang find a suitable chair for Dave to shake in
               comfort?  More importantly, will Roland get any of Andy's beer? 
               Stay tuned for the further adventures of ANDY TO THE RESCUE!

               A RocketTheme.com Template Extraordinare Production!


                                     DAVE
                         RT MEMBERS, PREPARE FOR TEMPLATE GLORY!
