Clumsy Alien

A Screenplay by Ilal

INT. A LIBRARY - AFTERNOON

Remarkable teacher DCI KIMBERLY MALKOVICH is arguing with thoughtful psychiatrist MASTER MARK TRESCOTHIK. KIMBERLY tries to hug MARK but he shakes her off.

KIMBERLY

Please Mark, don't leave me.

MARK

I'm sorry Kimberly, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces her fears head on, instead of running away.

KIMBERLY

I am such a person!

MARK frowns.

MARK

I'm sorry, Kimberly. I just don't feel excited by this relationship anymore.

MARK leaves.

KIMBERLY sits down, looking defeated.

Moments later, hopeful painter MR BORIS OLSSON barges in looking flustered.

KIMBERLY

Goodness, Boris! Is everything okay?

BORIS

I'm afraid not.

KIMBERLY

What is it? Don't keep me in suspense...

BORIS

It's ... an alien ... I saw an evil alien shoot a bunch of elderly gents!

KIMBERLY

Defenseless elderly gents?

BORIS

Yes, defenseless elderly gents!

KIMBERLY

Bloomin' heck, Boris! We've got to do something.

BORIS

I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start.

KIMBERLY

You can start by telling me where this happened.

BORIS

I was...

BORIS fans himself and begins to wheeze.

KIMBERLY

Focus Boris, focus! Where did it happen?

BORIS

Kings Cross Station! That's right - Kings Cross Station!

KIMBERLY springs up and begins to run.

EXT. A ROAD - CONTINUOUS

KIMBERLY rushes along the street, followed by BORIS. They take a short cut through some back gardens, jumping fences along the way.

INT. KINGS CROSS STATION - SHORTLY AFTER

DAN TORRANCE a clumsy alien terrorises two elderly gents.

KIMBERLY, closely followed by BORIS, rushes towards DAN, but suddenly stops in her tracks.

BORIS

What is is? What's the matter?

KIMBERLY

That's not just any old alien, that's Dan Torrance!

BORIS

Who's Dan Torrance?

KIMBERLY

Who's Dan Torrance? Who's Dan Torrance? Only the most clumsy alien in the universe!
