Procrastination
[Establishing Shot: Zoe’s House]
[Scene: Zoe’s Kitchen, Zoe is stood making herself a
cup of tea, when she walks into the living room to turn on the TV but it’s
nothing but static, she changes the channel and it’s still static, she then
here’s a crash and car alarms from outside, she goes to the window and looks
outside, she then grabs her coat and walks away]
[Scene: Outside Zoe’s house, Zoe runs out and looks
around with car alarms blaring off, she then turns to her left and see’s
something, the camera then fades to white]
[Scene: Living room, Chris is sat by his computer with
his fingers on the keyboard but not typing anything, it is dead silent apart
from the sound of a clock ticking, he brings his hands up to his hands, briefly
puts his fingers back on the keyboard as if he’s about to type but then brings
his hands back to his face, he then looks at the clock and see’s that the time reads
10:20, he then looks back at his computer with the page remaining blank, it
then cuts to that night with Chris lying on the couch asleep and the computer
still on]
Mysterious
Voice: Chris…Chris…Christopher!
[Chris wakes up and sits up and see’s the lead
character Zoe on his computer screen]
Chris:
Zoe?
Zoe:
yep
Chris:
…am
I dreaming or am I losing my mind?
Zoe:
doesn’t
matter--
Chris:
--for
me it does--wha--what are you doing here!?
Zoe:
what
am I doing here? It’s been 12 hours! How come you haven’t finished writing the
episode!
Chris:
I-I
just haven’t been able to come up with a good way to end it; I mean it’s the
final episode, how can I end it?
Zoe:
you’re
a writer! Think of something dumbass!
Chris:
there’s
no need to behave like that
Zoe:
bite
me frog face
[Chris taps the computer and it changes to his YouTube
with Zoe gone, he then sits back and sighs, until Zoe shows up on screen]
Zoe:
still
here!
[Chris sits back up]
Chris:
wha--leave
me alone!
[Chris taps the computer several times changing to Wikipedia,
Twitter and Google]
Zoe:
you
can press that as many times as you want Otacon, you’re not getting rid of me,
not at least until you write the episode
[Chris rubs his eyes trying to wake up]
Zoe:
hey,
have you ever googled “do a barrel roll” it’s really cool
[Chris shuts the computer to turn it off]
Chris:
…time
for bed
[Establishing Shot: Chris’s house at night and then
fades in to morning]
[Scene: Kitchen, Chris walks downstairs looking really
tired, he pours himself a cup of tea and takes a sip, he then turns around and
see’s Zoe stood behind him and makes him jump]
Chris:
AH!
Zoe:
did
you write the episode yet?
Chris:
How
are you here!? You’re not even real!
Zoe:
I
told you last night that I’m not leaving until you write the episode
Chris:
why
is this important enough for you to give me a mental breakdown!?
Zoe:
you’ve
been writing this episode for weeks and haven’t thought of anything, so I’m
here to make sure that you finish writing it
Chris:
well
I can’t think of anything, maybe you’d like to give it a go!?
Zoe:
alright
fine
Chris:
Fine!
Let’s go write this episode!
[Chris and Zoe walk away]
[Scene: Living Room, Chris and Zoe sit down on the
couch and Chris turns the computer on]
Chris:
Alright,
let’s get to work
[Cuts back to outside Zoe’s house, repeating the scene
from earlier with Chris talking over]
Chris:
how
about as soon as she leaves the house, she turns to the left, and gets hit by a
car!
[Cuts to black as a car crashes, cuts back to the
living room]
Zoe:
that’s
terrible! I don’t wanna die in a car crash! And not to mention the fans would
tear you apart
Chris:
[Sarcasm] strange, I didn’t think my
hallucination would care for my health
Zoe:
shut
up
Chris:
well
then you think of something better
Zoe:
okay
[Cuts back to the final scene with Zoe talking over the
scene]
Zoe:
I
come out of the house and it turns out that I’m all alone; and then it turns
out my house is on an island and I’ve been dead all along!
[Cuts back to the living room]
Chris:
…you
know for a figment of my imagination you’re not very creative
Zoe:
screw
you
Chris:
okay
then well [They start talking over with the footage of what they’re talking
about] maybe it ends with the police arriving and you being sent to jail
Zoe:
or
it ends with a spaceship showing up to take me on adventures
Chris:
or
maybe you are an alien
Zoe:
and
my dog is an alien as well and speaks fluent Japanese!
[Cuts back to the living room]
Chris:
…we’re
not very good at this
Zoe:
yeah
you must be going insane to think up these things
Chris:
well
we’ve gotta do something, I mean it’s not like we can just end it like The
Sopranos and cut to black mid sce--
