Screenplay - Tumblr Posts

Screenplay excerpt of screenwriter/producer/actress Brit Marling's upcoming BDSM film project called "Boar".

Considering the brilliant output she has produced so far--"Another Earth", "Sound Of My Voice", "The East"--it's a safe bet to say that this will probably shit all over "Fifty Shades Of Grey" if ever Brit manages to turn this screenplay into visual reality in the future.

I may have put a little nod to qsmp in a screenplay i had to write for class.

Theyll never know

Who would know?

They wont know

Its fine, we're fine

They definitely wont figure it out what ever do you mean?

A cage for a cage :smile:

INT. SUPERSTORE - NIGHT (YEARS AGO)

A young BILLY, no older than four, stands near a shopping cart. His mother, MARILYN, a tired woman in her early 20s, rummages through her purse as she stops pushing her cart. She glances at Billy.

MARILYN

Stay right here, baby. I'll be back in a sec.

Unbeknownst to Billy, Marilyn is a local weed dealer within her community. She begrudgingly brought Billy along for a late night “meetup” since she wasn’t comfortable leaving him home alone at his young age.

As Marilyn rushes away, Billy's attention wavers, captivated by two young children playing with action figures and dolls. Their laughter fills the aisles as they run around, screaming and cheering.

Billy walks away from his mother’s shopping cart and approaches them with wide eyes.

BILLY

Woah! What toy is that?

CHILD 1

It’s Star Commander Ultra! He’s the bravest hero in the galaxy.

The younger of the two children chime into the conversation to brag about their toy as well.

CHILD 2

Well my doll is Princess Butterfly Sparkle Glitter, and she’s the bravest and the coolest in all twelve galaxies!

CHILD 1

There’s only one galaxy, Macy.

CHILD 2

You don’t know that.

As the two children settle their differences, they agree to let Billy in on their game as they run around the store shouting and having fun.

Suddenly a mother rounds the corner and shouts for her children to come. She makes a vague comment that she’s done shopping and they’re leaving the store now. The children hurriedly say bye to Billy as they run off to go catch up with their mother.

Billy is suddenly left alone. Anxious, confused, and unable to find the shopping cart where his mother told him to stay.

Billy frantically looks around. Panic sets in as he realizes he's lost.

Billy hurriedly rounds a corner, running face first into the legs of a police officer. A young blonde woman, OFFICER LINDSAY as he falls onto the floor.

OFFICER LINDSAY

Oh, whoopsies! Haha, that’s alright bud. You okay?

Although Billy is too stunned to reply, Officer Lindsay helps Billy off the ground. Her concern deepens as she looks around the store, realizing this child is unattended. She takes it upon herself to help Billy find his mother.

As Billy and Officer Lindsay roam the store looking for Marilyn, they eventually find her in a heated discussion with some of the employees at the store, supposedly about her suspicious activities. Marilyn’s face drops, as she realizes her son is being escorted by a police officer.

As Billy runs up to his mother to give her a hug Officer Lindsay is giving Marlyn a deep, powerful scowl as they are locked eye-to-eye.

EXT. SUPERSTORE - NIGHT

As MARILYN is led away by other police officers, OFFICER LINSDAY returns to BILLY, kneeling down to his level.

OFFICER LINDSAY

Hey bud, how do you feel about coloring books? If you want we could color together in this book that I brought with me.

She pauses for a moment as Billy looks around kind of confused, supposedly unsure of where his mother is.

OFFICER LINDSAY (CON’T)

I could really use your help with coloring these tigers, if you wanted to help me out.

Billy agrees, as is unaware of the circumstances that are going on around him, but he follows Officer Lindsay’s lead as she distracts him from the situation at hand.

Officer Lindsay takes Billy's hand, leading him away from the arrest of his mother. The shouts of the night slowly blend together as we fade to the next scene. Between scenes we timeskip to ‘current day’.

INT. SOCIAL WORKER'S OFFICE - DAY

As we transition scenes the sounds of the night slowly blend together into the sound of Billy’s social worker’s voice, MRS.KELLY. She is calling Billy’s name, trying to get his attention. BILLY (14) sits in a worn office chair outside of Mrs.Kelly’s office. Arms folded, staring off into space.

MRS.KELLY

(echoing during scene transition)

Billy… Billy.

Billy lightly flinches as he snaps back into reality, realizing he is being called.

MRS. KELLY

Come on in, let's talk.

Billy haphazardly tosses his backpack onto the open chair next to him as he does some light stretching, making himself comfortable, as he is evidently in no rush to sit down.

BILLY

Ah, how could I forget, ol’ reliable. You know, instead of you guys spending all this time and money trying to put me into a foster home, I could just live here instead.

They sit across from each other, the atmosphere charged. Mrs.Kelly is clearly annoyed with his snarky tone.

MRS.KELLY

Billy, you know we're running out of options here. I’m really gonna need you to get your act together.

BILLY's eyes narrow, a trace of bitterness in his tone.

BILLY

Uh-huh.

MRS.KELLY

You already know why you’re here.

BILLY

I do.

MRS.KELLY

And you already know what I’m gonna say.

BILLY

True.

Billy loosely crosses his arms as he settles in his chair, getting ready to imitate Mrs.Kelly as they speak over each other.

BOTH

(synchronized)

That I brought you in here today to tell you that you’ve been assigned to a new foster home.

Mrs.Kelly sighs, clearly familiar with Billy’s tone.

MRS.KELLY

Look, I know it's been a tough year for you. But this time has to be different.

Mrs.Kelly shoots Billy a serious look, piercing through his playful demeanor with an authoritative gaze.

MRS.KELLY (CON’T)

This time, you've got to give them a chance.

Billy's gaze hardens, his frustration bubbling beneath the surface.

BILLY

(challenging)

A chance? How many chances do I have to give? How many "homes" will I go through before you guys actually start listening to me? I don’t need a fake family to play pretend with. I have a family, I have a mom, they’re out there, looking for me.

Mrs.Kelly's expression softens, a mix of empathy and weariness.

MRS.KELLY

Billy, We’re not going to have this discussion again, we’ve been over this. You can do whatever you want when you’re 18, but for now the state is responsible for you. Which means I’m responsible for you, and I need you to try and play along, just a little longer.

Billy's guard waivers for a moment, feeling frustrated and unheard. His snarky attitude now takes a backseat to his more quiet exterior as he momentarily exposes his feelings of rejection and helplessness.

BILLY

But I’m tired of it. I just wanna make my own decisions instead of you guys and your “agency” shoving fake families and broken homes onto me like I’m some sort of charity case.

Mrs.Kelly leans back, sighing. She knows she's dealing with a determined young man who’s clearly had a rough start to life.

MRS. KELLY

You’re not a charity case, you’re a young man. A young man with a bright future ahead of you, and we’re just trying to do what’s best for you.

Mrs.Kelly pauses to make sure she has Billy's attention despite his sudden drop in bravado.

MRS.KELLY (CON’T)

I’m trying to do what’s best for you.

Billy nods, a hint of a reluctant acknowledgment. He lets out a sharp scoff.

BILLY

Yeah, I've heard that one before too.

End. ⚡️

HI ANYONE AND EVERYONE! MY NAME IS ANTIC1STAMINE! I wanted to let anyone who follows these tags that I post on a scheduled basis when i can get to it so i usually schedule for 8pm EST! look forward to seeing my posts!!

Thinking about writing a script this summer- I’ve done one or two in the past with my girlfriend, but we broke and aren’t talking very much so I’m going to try doing one alone.

I’m so used to sharing everything I write with them so that we know where the other is that, so I might post it all here instead because I just wanna talk abt them 🥲

Anyway, it’s sort of coming-of-age type movie about 7 people who runaway together from different places for different reasons (some of the join the group by coincidence/accident but most of them agreed and working together through an online group chat). The story is split into 2 acts: where they are introduced and plan their escape and where they deal with life as runaways. I think most of the focus of the stories if about relationships (platonic, romantic, familial, etc) and the impacts our environments have on us, mostly because I love focusing on that when I write D&D characters and there are just a lot of different environments and relationships between the characters

Here’s the picrews I made of the characters and Pinterest people I think look as similar to my picture of them as possible

I’ll probably start posting rants about each character as I start writing more details about them and why they choose to leave

This is Artemis Knight or “Missy” from my script!!

Pronouns: They/she

Ethnicity: Greek-British

Alignment: Chaotic neutral

Her playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6xdp6HGH0zjmmLc2DzhluA?si=ft-woquiS_S6uY-FX13Sug&pi=e-vG5atQhLRGuz (inspired by her experience and personality NOT their music taste)

Personality: Chilled, nihilistic, obsessed, very introverted and protective, avoids sleep like the plague

They run away with their best friend and foster sister Flora-Maya (long weird name, ik but there’s a reason for it).

They’re abnormally close to the point where it’s kind of codependent and possessive but they get healthier as they try and survive with people outside of each other and live together in a safer environment.

I love Missy so much istg

Missy (the oc from my previous post about a script I’m trying to write) is autistic and nonbinary and REALLY codependent on their best friend Flora-Maya.

They grew up together being the first people to show each other genuine kindness and sort of contrasting each other’s lives (Flora-Maya spent a long time in a home that was very critical of everything she did and Artemis was raised in a very tough love, academic-focused and touch-ambivalent family) so I think Artemis views Flora-Maya as sort of the only person on their team as well as someone more important than everyone else/more deserving of love.

Artemis is isolated from everyone else and I think isn’t used to being around people who haven’t grown up with her. She’s very weird and bad with words, so she’ll often say things that don’t make sense (using incomplete sentences, abandoning context and using acronyms they completely made up).

They also are very unaffected by any judgement/mockery/bullying they may face at school due to the all the criticism she receives at home, so I don’t think that Missy ever abandoned the weird habits that a lot of kids drop after some teasing. They move weirdly, sometimes dancing for no reason, randomly stretching/wiggling their arms and legs and pull random faces just like in the middle of conversations.

They’re not used to boundaries (because they have none with Flora-Maya or their younger brother once he comes along later on) and often will just touch if they want to touch or take is she wants to take, without really thinking about it or asking for permission or providing any warning.

(It improves as they get to know other after running away, though, so it doesn’t become a really big concern)

Hahaha if I can be weird then so will every oc and fanon character I can get my hands on. Missy is a weirdo, Flora-Maya is a weirdo, Deidre is a weirdo, Tonya is weirdo- just try and stop me

This is Flora-Maya Smith!!

Ideals: To protect and love Artemis, to try new things, to have fun, to live a full life

Pronouns: She/her

Ethnicity: Ghanaian-British

MBTI: INFP

Alignment: Chaotic good

Star sign:

Personality: Kind, nihilistic, optimistic, enthusiastic, loves beauty, daydreamer, poor attention, romanticises things a lot

Her playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2o5uT64z6mfq7vcC36VTRX?si=1-q0RR0kRsqVa9M2nOnp_A&pi=e-Lc6Oa7_0RJyj

She grew up in Wales with Artemis Knight for most of her life and runs away with her when they’re both 16

Flora-Maya (An oc from a script I’m writing) was written as an idealized version of myself (at least at the start). The story follows the perspective of half of the runaways but leaves some out for the purpose of letting the reader learn things about some of the characters the way we do in real life rather than understanding every character the way they view themselves. Flora-Maya is one of the characters we get to know through Missy (and another character)’s perspective rather than through herself.

Missy has always idolized FA as a strong weathered veteran to seam so unaffected by any difficulties she faced and a prodigy in the way she excels in everything they failed at. As the story progresses, and the pair begin to get in touch with other people, FA finally finds herself in a space where she’s comfortable enough to react to everything she’s dealt with and Missy is forced to face and cope with the fact that for their entire friendship/childhoods she and Flora-Maya have known each other inside out but not understood each other.

Flora-Maya faced a lot of change growing up- her parents died when she was only 3, her grandmother took over only to die 2 years later and she experienced 2 moves with her first and second foster families before she came to settle in with the Knights. Because of this, she’s very versatile and flexible but resistant to forming close bonds to anyone except Missy. To cope with a lot of the loneliness and boredom that came with these traits, Flora-Maya created large, elaborate, detailed daydreams to distract herself. She had an imaginary friend she took from her favourite book who would follow her everywhere and do the things she didn’t want to do (like chores) and speak up when she didn’t want to. When she meets Missy at 6, the daydreaming continues, but her imaginary friend is replaced by her first real one who behaves similarly to the person she made up and always listened to the stories she made up when she was bored.

Aside from being a maladaptive daydreamer, Flora-Maya is also very nihilistic. Because of the many changes in her life and her lack of control over them paired with her foster parents’ habit of blaming any misfortune that occurred around them on her, FA comes to the conclusion that very little changes regardless of what you do. This view rubs off on Missy a lot later on in their childhood and the pair of them very differently. FA grows a lack of regard for worry and judgement, she becomes a very spontaneous and inconsequential person, doing whatever she likes so long as it doesn’t harm anyone.

Resultantly, while FA is a lot more aware of social cues and expectations than Missy, she often disregards them. For example, Flora-Maya often had a disinterest in doing what she was supposed to in lessons, often bringing activities (like books and knitting equipment) to school to complete during lessons she considered irrelevant/unimportant and wasn’t afraid to do things that were abnormal like randomly sitting on the floor in public if her legs got tired. She wore brightly coloured clothes that may not look good together if they felt particularly comfortable or she was fond of them.

From Missy’s perspective of her this might come off a bit manic pixie dream girl-esque but I promise she’s a lot more complex than that and has a number of reasons for every choice she makes throughout the script- I love her so much and she’s so complex and precious and strong

Ladies, gents and others: Tonya Ahlström!!

Role: The sun/the ex-lover

Ideals: To love, to be loved, to see the world, to learn as much as she can

Pronouns: She/her

Ethnicity: Canadian-Norwegian

MBTI: ENFP

Alignment: Neutral good

Personality: Kind, curious, explorative, romantic, wear her heart on her sleeve, sensitive, trusting, naive, brave (or maybe stupid, who knows)

Her playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2D5nWRpL9bmSqrsbjlIWYd?si=9WHgl3ZYTO-B2cpyuSLxwg&pi=e-RlqFBPARRkmG (based on her vibes and personality, not music taste)

Tonya is my favorite disaster lesbian, she’s the type of gay to move in on the first date, get dumped on the second and then take a year to get over her ex

She skipped town with her runaway ex-boyfriend turned best friend (Lucas Bennet) after getting outed in a really fucked up, embarrassing accident (ouch).

You know that quote that’s like “If Nana was a boy, she’d be the love of my life” that but it’s a twink and a lesbian- they are platonic soulmates.

Check and Duke episode 1 script part 1

*Check’s alarm goes off, and he wakes up* Check: Morning Duke. Duke: Morning, what was your name again? Check: Duke, we've known each other for months. My name is check. Duke: Like a check mark? Check: Oh yeah, I mean, I guess. Duke:  I bet onion lady always has a clipboard to give you check marks when you do something right then. Check: Haha, nice. Wait, did you just pretend not to know my name so you can make that joke? Duke: yeeaahh. (Onion lady from the other room) Check, Duke get up. Check: Oh, I wonder if breakfast is ready. Duke: I hope not. Check: Why? Duke: I mean, her name is Onion Lady, so she's probably going to put onions in our food, and I'm allergic to that stuff. (They walk downstairs) Check: What is it onion, lady? Onion lady: Instead of breakfast today, we're going to be going to the new burger place/amusement park downtown. Check: Wait, really? Onion lady: I know it isn't a traditional breakfast, but I figured going to this place would be a good bonding experience for us. Duke: oooo I can't wait to order some onion rings! check: Wait, didn't you just say you were allergic to onions? Duke: Yeah, but they're just so good. One time I ate a whole restaurant's supply of onion rings and I was all puffy and swollen and since I didn't pay for them they actually beat the onion rings out of me so I ended up not dying. Check: Jesus Christ… onion lady: Well, that's certainly concerning, but it's good to know you're allergic to onions, Duke. I'll still be making them, though you'll just have to get used to it. Duke: Wait, what? Check: Onion lady, he's like severely allergic. Can't you just make stuff without onions? Onion lady: Oh gosh no silly I have to put onions and everything I make besides even if I didn't, it would still taste like onions because I secrete onion oils for my skin. Here, just feel. *She extends her hand and checks it. * check: ew. Onion lady: Anyway to the onion mobile! Check: we have that? Duke: it better not be made of onions. It then shows the dream repeater and his henchmen working in their lab. The dream repeater: Our subliminal messaging has worked, and they're coming. Henchmen: And by subliminal, you mean shoving coupons for our restaurant in their mailbox. Dream repeater: *sigh* Yes. I've made the perfect sauce with a combination of melatonin dream catcher beads ground up into a fine powder and magic dream mushrooms to put them in a dream hallucination. Henchmen: Okay, but why are you focusing on check and Duke? You have plenty of our customers for you to research dreams. Dream repeater: Because the people funding me want them dead, but recently I've been thinking I should do some research on them first. Think about the breakthroughs I'll make. (They drive and show up at the restaurant / amusement park) Onion lady: All right boys go explore. I'll be at the onion ring exhibit here if you need me. Duke: *gasp* Can I go! (He says excited) Check: no Duke, come on, let's go. Duke: Aw. (They walk into one of the main Burger shops) Check: we should probably get something to eat first since we haven't had breakfast. And remember, no onion rings. (They walk up to the counter and see two employees not wearing typical restaurant outfits but instead white long sweater robes with red stains on them.) The employees look disheveled and creepy. Check: Hi, I was wondering if I could get a number nine. Duke: And I'll have a number onion rings with extra onion rings. Check: Wait, they have a number onion rings? I mean, duke! No! Duke: Fine, I'll get a number nine as well. Also, what are those stains on your uniforms? The employee: Uhh, it's just ketchup. Duke: Then, can I taste it? Check: Duke, gross. Duke: What?! you shouldn't let good ketchup go to waste. Check: First of all, it's not good ketchup. Second of all, that's clearly blood. Duke: Wait, are you murderers then!? Check: Duke, I think it's just from the ground beef. Duke: Oh. The employees stare at them unsettlingly. Here are your orders. Make sure to enjoy, or we will be ordered to break your bones. Check: Oh my God.

Check and Duke episode script 1 part 2

(They sit down at a table.) Duke: Those employees were weirding me out, man. Check: yeah same but these burgers are pretty good. Duke: Yeah, I just wish I wasn't allergic to onions. Check: Hey, you want to know something? I'm allergic to Mint. Duke: Mint? Check: Yeah, Christmas is uh really hard for me. those damn Mall Santas always shoving the candy canes in my face. I didn't even know I was allergic for the longest time. Duke: How? Check: I thought the allergic reaction was just part of mint's natural intensity. Duke: damn I would expect that for me but you, tisk tisk tisk. Check: Oh crap I spilled some ketchup *check takes out a moist towelette package) let me just clean this up (all of the sudden the moist towlette starts moving and slips out of his hand.) Check: what the…? Moist towelette: Hey, get your hands off me! Duke: Whoa, it's alive. Moist towelette: You monster! using me and my brethren to clean up your messes! who Do You Think You Are?! Check: Sorry, I was just trying to clean up my ketchup. Moist towelette: Well, I've got news for you, buddy. we aren't here to clean up after you, humans. soon there I'll be a moist towelette Uprising and little moist towelettes will rule the world mwahaha- (check tears the moist towelette up and put some in his pocket) check: you know these could be some cool pets to keep. Duke: Yeah, let me get some (Duke Pockets, the moist towelettes.). Check: Anyway, let's go on a ride. Duke: Hell yeah. *They go up to an indoor roller coaster, and there is a man in a white robe with pins in his head and puppet strings on his body.) Dream repeater: Hello there, check and Duke Duke: How do you know our names? Dream repeater: I'm like Santa Claus. I'm magical! check: Oh, that checks out. Duke: Oh yeah. Dream repeater: Anyway, are you ready to take a ride down the world's best roller coaster!? Duke: But aren't those people first? (he points to people in front of them in line) *dream repeater pushes them out of the way) nope not anymore. person he pushed out the way: Oh, what the heck, dude? check: I don't know if those people seem like they were in front of the line for sure. dreamer repeater: Well, I think you're lying. check: You literally have pins sticking out of your head. I'm not really inclined to trust you, man. you're a stranger. Dream repeater: Oh, just enjoy your ride! (Check and Duke, get in and the ride and start to go. They see trippy visuals and traumatic imagery as they keep rollercoastering for hours.) Check: what the heck! this is so messed up. Why would anyone want to do this?! (he turns over to Duke but Duke is sliced in half) what the fuck just on!? (a giant blade comes down and cuts check in half holy shit all of a sudden he wakes up and he's back on the roller coaster riding with Duke) Duke are you okay!? Duke: I don't know one minute I was riding the roller coaster and the next you were dead! check: what!? you died first! Duke: No, we both die first! (Duke shoots check in the chest and then himself.  They respawn.) check: why would you do that Duke!? Duke: do what!? you're the crazy one. You started babbling on about conspiracies and then sliced my fingers off and ate them! Check: what's going on man!? (they then age rapidly and crumble up and then aged down back into their regular age) oh my God I feel like I'm going to throw up what the fuck is going on this feels so weird (all of a sudden they're in a haunted house) check: Duke you know there's always been room for one kid in onion lady's house. Duke: what are you talking about!? Check: I never liked you you weirdo. Duke: dude what are you babbling on about? you're hurting my feelings. Check: I will fucking end you and scoop out your brains just like how Jonathan and Rebecca died. Duke: who the hell is Jonathan and Rebecca!?

Check and Duke episode 1 script part 3

(Check stabs Duke, then all of a sudden, check is a little kid in a daycare and surrounded by giant potatoes and carrots in maid outfits) What's going on? (a lady with a blurry face comes in) It's okay to check. It’s time for your bottle.  (She shoves a bottle up his nose and sprays hot milk into his brains he's then cooked alive in the oven. And then cuts back to them on the roller coaster, and they're moving super fast and covered in throw up, and a giant hand comes out of the air and feeds them their own throw up. a voice from the heavens says “Good boys. It's okay, Mama will be back from the store soon.” Check is in tears." What's going on!? Duke: Why did you kill me? (Then in a disoriented state the Dream Repeater enters the room and Check and Duke are strapped to a chair with a device on their head) dream repeater: oh I can't wait to review this footage. (It then shows blurry imagery of check in a fire and his family getting killed and his electric sticks stabbing into him. Then, it shows a blurry vision of Duke gruesomely transforming into an animal for the first time and his scientist father leaving him. Days go by, and they constantly die over and over again. check finally breaks, and in the real world, electric sticks start electrocuting the headsets. Dream repeater: no no what are they doing?! Check and Duke fall out of their restraints. Check: what the hell have you been doing to us you fucking monster?!  (Duke turns into a wolf and bites the dream repeater making stuffing come out. the dream repeater screams and starts running. Check and Duke chase him and check tries zapping him with his electric sticks but the dream repeater goes deeper into the basement of this building and glitches out of existence for some reason leaving behind a giant voodoo doll (insert fight scene here.) Check and Duke walk out of there and see onion lady. check and Duke are in tears.) Both of them: can we go home?.. onion lady:Already? It's only been 20 minutes. Duke: So all those days… Check: it was only…oh God…

Check and Duke episode 2 script part 1

(Check and Duke are at their house.) Onion lady: Come on check and Duke, we are going to the grocery store. Johnny Smith, you'll be watching the house. check: make sure to Home Alone the house Johnny Smith. Johnny Smith: My family could never afford to watch Home Alone. I grew up homeless with company. Duke: Oh, that's kind of sad. check: Anyway, onion lady, are we taking the onion mobile? Onion lady: no unfortunately Johnny Smith ate the onion mobile last night. check: Johnny smith! Johnny Smith: eerrmmm Whoopsie Daisy *throws up* I think I ate too much onion. Duke: Okay, let's get out of here before my allergic reaction starts acting up again. (It shows check, Duke and onion lady walking to the store.) Duke: Oh my God, it's so hot out. check: Yeah, it's like we're in a desert. onion lady: You do have a point. My onions are starting to cook. It's so hot out. But don't worry, we are almost there. Check: Duke, can't you turn into a water type Pokémon to cool us off? Duke: Do you want to get sued by Pokémon? Check nooo… Duke: That's what I thought. Check: I just thought they wouldn't really know. What are they Santa claus? Besides, my soda is going to run out soon, and then what will I drink? (Check is carrying a dim desert soda. They walk by a billboard for Home Alone that glitches into homeless with company. Eventually, they finally get to the grocerystore.) Check: we finally made it. We're here! Duke: And look at Home Depot! (Check and Duke's faces light up.) Onion lady: Why are you two sillies so happy? it's just a Home Depot. Check: Do I need to play The Home Depot song for you!? Onion lady: You mean the jingle? Duke: No, the Home Depot song is 5 minutes long. Onion lady: Duke sweetie, I feel like that's just a marketing tactic. Duke: Gasp how dare you say that about Home Depot they would never market to us. Check: or sponsor us. Onion lady: they wouldn't just sponsor a random family, honey. Check: but we have powers! Shouldn't that make us rich and famous or whatever!? like that creepy bald guy Jeffrey based toe. Duke: his toes are so based. Onion lady: Well, I need to go shopping for onions. So you two can go explore Home Depot. Both of them: Yay! (They're walking to Home Depot when, all of a sudden, checks soda glitches into intense Northern fizzy water. Check takes a sip of it.) *Spits it out* ew what the heck!? Duke: What? Check: My dim desert soda #not-sponsored is all of a sudden this weird intense Northern fizzy water. Fizzy water shouldn't even be intense! Duke: check you don't have to say not sponsored. I know we aren't sponsored. Onion lady just established that we wouldn't be sponsored because we're just two kids. Check: Yeah, but I'm saying it for them. you know the ones. Duke: Oh those ones. (they look into the camera.) Duke: Whatever, let's just go into Home Depot and drink paint instead.

Check and Duke episode 2 script part 2

(They walk into Home Depot, both of them take a deep breath and inhale the scent of Home Depot.) Check: it smells so good! like paint and cardboard. (It then shows a montage of check and Duke playing in Home Depot they're riding a lawn mower, climbing the shelves, flooding the kitchen, spinning in the dryers, and then checks about to drink paint but then suddenly it glitches into some green juice.) Check: the heck! this isn't paint! How am I supposed to quench my thirst now!? what is this? (he reads the label) “healthy juice, juice good, good liquid” fucks that type of name? (Duke comes in riding a lawn mower) Duke: check run! check: what is it?- oh my God! (it shows Duke being chased by a giant krampus-like creature. check jumps on to Duke's ride-on lawn mower. they ride around the ginormous store that keeps going forever. check: Thank God our tax money went to this giant Home Depot, or we would have crashed into something by now. Employee: What are you talking about!? you're crashing into so much stuff right now! My manager is going to be so mad! Duke: Sorry. (Duke turns into a big bird and Carries check up to the Krampus creature, letting the ride on the lawn mower crash. check jumps on the Krampus creature and strangles it with the connecting string of his electric sticks and electrocutes it until its eyes explode from the electricity it falls to the ground. Then it's steaming body glitches and turns into a dead customer that was a little kid.) Duke: Oh my God. Check: uuuhhh *stuffs it in a cardboard box and tapes it up.) Check: Hopefully when someone orders a table they won't get this (cuts to a family receiving the cardboard box and opening it up and screaming. The building then glitches into an abandoned building.) Check: dude, what the hell is going on!? Duke: I don't know, I'm just sad that we're no longer in Home Depot. Check: same. (They walk out of the abandoned building to reveal that they're in a desert with sand made out of sand, concrete, and metal. with four suns in the sky.) Check: oh god… (it then shows the glitcher sitting in his chair and his distorted voice says “try to survive this you monsters…” they're walking in the desert.) Duke: you know what? I may risk copyright infringement by Pokémon… check: I know it's so hot, but we can't afford it. Duke: Damn it. (Check and Duke are super hot and all dried up and exhausted.) Check: I don't know how much longer I can do this *collapses in the sand* ow! ouch! fuck hot! Duke: I know what will cheer us up, let's play a classic game of sand in the eyes! Check: dude where the fuck did you come from? Who plays sand in the eyes? Duke: me. Check: yeah I don't think that's a good idea. Maybe if we can find some cactus we can drink them. (Duke turns into a bird to get a bird's eye view to see if there are any cacti nearby.) Duke: check, I see something green! (Duke turns into a camel and check rides him there. Check tries to use his electric sticks to open it but when that doesn't work they suddenly grow into a blade.) Check: whoa I didn't know they could do that! (he starts to slice open into it but it bleeds red and it opens up revealing a creepy green demon like creature that hisses.) demon creature: hisses and screams. check: aaaahhhh!!! (It scampers off.) Check: well so much for that. Duke: we could have drank it's blood. Check: wait a minute can't you turn into a cow and give us some milk? Duke: uh dude… check: what? Duke: I'm amab check: … Duke: let's just say you won't be getting regular milk from me. check: (clueless) I'm fine with that. Duke: no! Check: fine. Hey look it's starting to get dark but what the… the suns look like they're coming down.

Check and Duke episode 2 script part 3

(The sun's go into the floor, and the sand starts to melt into lava.) Check and Duke: aaaahhhhh!!! (They run and find a sidewalk broken off in the middle of nowhere with a bus stop sign. They run over and get on to it. Check: So are we going to just stay here and die? Duke: I don't know. I don't even know how this sidewalk hasn't melted. everything else has. Check: Hey, look, a bus sign. It says the Night Bus arrives at 9:00. What's that? Duke: Isn't it 9:00 right now? (All of a sudden, the bus pulls up as its wheels are moving through the lava, and the doors open up. A man sits at the bus seat with his face shrouded in Shadows.) Check: do we need a ticket or something? (The bus driver just sits there in silence. check and Duke get on the bus. As they sit down on the blood-stained seats, they see cockroach like demons sitting and hiding in every crevice. The Green Cactus demons get on the bus as well. They sit on the bus as it drives through the lava.) Duke: hey Mr bus driver, where are we going? (The bus driver stays silent.) Stop ignoring me. That's it. (he gets up to look at the bus driver in the face but sees that his face has been cut off with wires running through it, leaving a bloody gory mess behind. Duke screams he sits down next to check and starts crying.) check: it'll be okay… (just then everything starts to light up and the bus turns into a regular bus and drops them off outside of the mall. it shows the glitcher, and in a distorted voice, he says “no! no! no! why does my technology never work!? I mean, I know I'm called the glitcher, but still, it shouldn't glitch outside of my favor! Check and Duke walk up to onion lady who just walked out of the store.) Onion lady: oh check, Duke I knew you guys were thirsty so I bought you some water flavored water. both of them: give me! give me! give me! give me! Onion lady: Oh my, you two are acting like you were in a desert.

Envisioning a rom-com where a comical aspect that's brought up in reference to the male lead, or one of them if it's a gay relationship, is that he has a mild flatulence problem that while he can find the humor in, is slightly embarrassed by when one accidentally slips out.

The montage scene where the two characters are slowly starting to fall in love with each other would consist of the typical scenes where they try on hats, cook together, etc., but there would be one scene where this part of the character would be used to show that the other lead is comfortable with it, and that he can be himself around the other person.

This could be accomplished two ways, depending on how raunchy the film wanted to be.

The first way would be to show the couple sitting on the couch watching a movie, and the character accidentally farts and sheepishly apologizes, to which the other person says, "Is that all you got? Give it another go." and then the character lets out a louder fart.

The second way would be at the end of the montage before it transitions to the next scene where it cuts to the characters in the middle of having sex on the verge of climax getting louder and louder, and when they finally do reach it, the camera switches to their bedroom door as a loud fart can be heard from inside and the male lead says something like: "Ahh, that was great."

I wish there were more fart scenes in entertainment similar to the two from Bio-Dome where Bud and Doyle guess what each other ate before to make their farts smell like that.

Similarly, I wish that more scenes, along with those that currently exist, better conveyed the idea of people being disgusted by how shameless a character's display of flatulence is.

I can imagine a scene that's like a fusion of the "Back at Cha!" one from White Chicks, the two from Bio-Dome, and the many instances of Scooby and Shaggy gorging on food, where you have two or more guy friends sitting in some sort of eatery adjacent establishment, and they put their skills of being "fart connoisseurs" to the test, much to the dismay of the public around them.

The context of the film, along with how far the screenwriters wanted to lean into the idea that these characters aren't at all concerned with how they're perceived, would determine the setting, along with how increasingly annoyed of a response people around them would have.

For instance, for a film following a character who gradually outgrows his slacker best friend from childhood, you could have a flashback sequence of all the shenanigans they've been through.

One of said experiences would be the two ordering a bunch of food at an upscale restaurant, getting really stuffed, and then, in a mockingly posh accent, guessing what they ate while the patrons around them become more angry leading to them being thrown out the restaurant.

Another scenario I can think of this being used would be if we are meant to align ourselves with these characters — despite how uncouth they are — against the antagonist of the film.

You could have them sabotage their very important individual performance such as a recital or a musical/play by having these two characters take turns farting whenever the antagonist tries to perform, with the farts getting louder with each attempt they make to try to perform again until they are eventually laughed off the stage.
