They Came from Above the Sea
Script for my Film II project
EXT. SCHOOL CAMPUS - DAY A young female student is walking to her car after class. She enters the parking garage and goes up to the roof. As she takes out her keys to get in she feels something creeping up behind her. She turns around and sees a hot air balloon with a shark in the basket. She screams and the scene goes to the title card: 'THEY CAME FROM ABOVE THE SEA' (in colour). INT. COL.'S OFFICE - DAY A military colonel is talking to a lady reporter. COLONEL I'm sorry, miss, there's nothing I can tell you. REPORTER But there've been eight disappearances. At every single scene there was salt water and at more than one there was a broken shark's tooth. Every lead has led me to you and there's NOTHING you can tell me? COLONEL I'm sorry, any information we have is classified. A military officer enters the room. OFFICER Sir, Doctor Graves is here. COLONEL Good, send him in. REPORTER Doctor Graves? Isn't he the one who developed the cure for the motaba virus? COLONEL (monotonously, as if repeating it for the dozenth time) Yes, and Munchausen syndrome, and flesh-eating rickets, and milk leg- OFFICER (cutting the colonel off) And he helped us defeat those damned Mole People. REPORTER Well, if you need him then something BIG must be going on. CUT TO INT. WAITING ROOM - SAME TIME Doctor Graves is sitting reading the latest science magazine and chewing on the tip of his glasses. Elsewhere in the waiting room, a child sitting next to his mother is hitting a stuffed shark against his chair's arm rests and staring at Doctor Graves. Suddenly, the child throws the shark at Graves. Graves sees it out of the corner of his eye and shrieks in a very girly manner and dives for cover. The secretary comes to help him up. SECRETARY Are you alright? GRAVES It's nothing. I just have...(dramatic pause) avioselachophobia. SECRETARY What? What's that? GRAVES Fear of flying sharks. Fortunately, sharks can't fly, so it never really comes up. Except...that one time... Graves stares off into the distance for a moment as if remembering a horrible childhood memory. SECRETARY Well, they're ready for you. CUT TO INT. COL.'S OFFICE - DAY Graves walks into the office. GRAVES Ok, colonel, I'm here. What's the issue this time? Giant aomebas? Prehistoric Mollusks? Is it those damned Mole People again? COLONEL I'm afraid it's worse...sharks in hot air balloons. They can fly, doctor. GRAVES My god... Graves dramatically removes his glasses. COLONEL From what we can tell, they were formed roughly on September the 10th of this year, and- Graves puts his glasses back on. GRAVES Did you say September 10th? COLONEL Yes... GRAVES My god... He dramatically re-removes his glasses GRAVES The Large Hadron Collider! COLONEL The what? GRAVES Under the Franco-swiss border, they built the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex. They meant to recreate the big bang. The energy released must have merged these sharks with the big Balloon Race that took place that exact same day! COLONEL My god... GRAVES Exactly. We have to stop them. But...I'm afraid I can't be of much use. I have a pretty bad case of avioselachophobia. COLONEL You're afraid of flying sharks? How did that happen? GRAVES It happened a long time ago...I was visiting my father in the hamptons, he was a helecopter pilot... COLONEL And a shark ate him in the helecopter? GRAVES No, no. I took a plane, the inflight movie was Jaws: The Revenge. COLONEL You poor bastard. GRAVES I mean, I suppose I could evaporate the water in the baskets and suffocate them. But I'd have to get close to them, but if I get too close, I'll freeze up. And the device is too complicated to show someone else. If only... COLONEL If only what? GRAVES If only there was a way for us to neutralize the sharks in some way while I used the device... Graves stands up dramatically. GRAVES I've got it! COLONEL What, man? Out with it! GRAVES What is the number one enemy of the shark in the animal kingdom? COLONEL Bigger sharks? GRAVES Dolphins! Dolphins have been known to torpedo sharks to save humans in the ocean! COLONEL But how will we get the dolphins into the air? A cannon would just blow up the dolphin. GRAVES Jet packs! I have a lot of them left over from when I defeated the Selenites during that stupid trip to the moon. COLONEL Brillaint! Let's go! REPORTER I'm coming with you! You forgot to send me out before you started talking! Graves and the colonel stare at the reporter for a second blankly. CUT TO EXT. A FIELD Graves, the reporter, and the colonel are in the field, the colonel on a walkie talkie. GRAVES The dolphins are in position! COLONEL Alright, LAUNCH THE DOLPHINS! A cavalcade of dolphins in jet packs ram into the sharks in the hot air balloons. GRAVES Alright, now to use the device! Doctor Graves pushes a button on a large, complicated looking remote control. The sharks explode in the sky. COLONEL Wow. Didn't think they'd just blow up like that from the water evaporating. GRAVES Yeah, I added dynamite. COLONEL That's why you're the best, doctor. FADE TO BLACK: THE END
