Roll 'em!

MISU (V.O.)
Complications takes place in a science fantasy future where demons fall in
love with alien guys and the major question of every intelligent well educated
college student is, "Is this the party?"� Weird aliens are commonplace, the
bizarre becomes the norm and it's all a teenager can do to keep from being
kidnapped. Why? Well, that's complicated.

DISSOLVE TO:

MONTAGE� COLLEGE LIFE
the characters are visually introduced with emphasis on MISU, SPIKE, MANDY and
SAM.

SUPERIMPOSE TITLE

�CLASSIC
*C*O*M*P*L*I*C*A*T*I*O*N*S*�

[Scene Changes. Bonfire, beach and babes running around the place. Couple of
nets set up and everyone is playing Glow volleyball. 

(Fluorescent green volleyball with an internal stabilizer so it can tell when
it hits an imaginary wall and appears to bounce off of thin air. Great to play
in the dark.) 

MAT & TI view their handiwork with satisfaction and a girl for each of them.

MAT
Mon cherie, would you like to... Go someplace more private?

BIKINI BABE (AIRHEAD GIGGLE)
Oh Mat, you're a riot.

MAT
looks at TI

MAT (IN FRENCH)
You know, these girls are so stupid they can't even tell when 
I'm making a pass. Ooh la la.

SUPERIMPOSE TRANSLATION AS SUBTITLE

BIKINI BABE (GIGGLE)
Ooh. Say some more French!

TI
Well girls ... 

[stops in Mid-sentence]

ESTABLISHING SHOT� DESCENDING SPACESHIP
everyone looks up and starts shouting. general Chaos.

MAT
HEY! Get zat junk heap out of here!

[At this point bolts of green lightning zaps down and MAT disappears in a puff
of electricity. The same bolt snags the other guys including MISU and MANDY he
was just about to make out with her (Cursing all the way).]

DISSOLVE TO:

[Scene change, very cool looking fighter. Tarmac all around and a hangar
completes the backdrop. SPIKE and SAM sit casually on her bike and scarf
hamburgers and cokes.]

SAM
Nice fighter.� What is it?

SPIKE
It's an F12 Puma, made for atmospheric flight and exo-
atmospheric flight. I call her uh...

[just thinking of a name he blurts out]

Sam.

SAM
Sam, huh. 

[looks convinced, sarcastic]

Uh huh.� Nice name.� I wonder where ya got it from? Puma hmm.� 
Has it got the neural pilot option and the weapons link 
options?

SPIKE
is impressed!

SPIKE
Hey, that's right it does!� You know your planes babe...

[falls off bike with a THUD.]

SAM
How many times do I have to tell you not to call me babe!

SPIKE
OK, jeez. Yeah, it's got that stuff on it.

SAM
Cool. Come on, let's go for a spin. I'll drive.

SPIKE
Now?

[loud gulping sound is heard]

SAM
Sure, you said it was yer's didn't ya?

SPIKE
Umm yeah, but ...

SAM
And you said she was fueled and ready to go, right?

[eyes SPIKE]

SPIKE
Yeah but...

SAM
drags SPIKE on the tarmac towards the fighter, throws him in the co-pilots
seat
and lifts her hair to reveal a very small jack in the base of her skull

SPIKE
Hey, you sure you know how to run one of these things?

SAM
Shut up and jack in.

SPIKE
Sure.

[Jacks in (his jack is located in the same place.]

EXT. FIGHTER
engines begin to whine, several lights flicker on and off etc. startup
sequence.� Camera changes to looking at the jet which starts to lift off the
ground and points the nose forward and blasts out of sight in a blue wash of
plasma and a roaring sound.

INT. SPACESHIP - CELL
several moans and curses are heard.

MISU
Where's the friggin' light in this dump. If we're gonna get 
abducted we at least ought to be able to ...

[breaks off as light turns on and MANDY is standing there nude with bat wings
out.� This is Mandy in her true form!]

MISU
is dumbfounded!

MISU
Gah! Uh! Uh!

MANDY
looks down and blushes a cute crimson red. Covers herself with her arms. Wings
fold back

MANDY
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

MANDY
grins girlishly

MISU
Gah! Duh!

VINNY
whacks MISU upside the head.

VINNY (WHISPERS TO MISU)
Say something intelligent you imbecile!

MISU
(shakes off shock of seeing his girlfriend nude and with bat wings. Then is
shocked again by the first intelligent thing he's ever heard VINNY say--stares
in amazement at VINNY, looks back to MANDY.

MISU
Er.� What lovely wings...

INT. COCKPIT
the Radio sputters to life.

RADIO
Base to Puma come in over.

SPIKE
Puma here over.

RADIO
Spike, what the hell are you doing? Over.

SPIKE
Taking my girlfriend for a spin, over.

SAM
You mean I am taking you for a spin.

RADIO
I don't care who is taking whom for a spin.� Get this plane 
back, you know what your dad said.� And Spike, the Commander 
asked if you would get on a search pattern for a space ship 
that has entered our air space, over.

SPIKE
Roger base, over and out.

SAM
So, can I come along flyboy?

SPIKE
Sure.� But land this plane so I can show you how to really 
fly.

SAM
Hmph.

EXT. FIGHTER
plane lands with a flourish as SAM buzzes the tower at Mach 4 and a snap roll
as she lands the plane on a dime in the same spot she took off from.

INT. FIGHTER
SPIKE
Geez...

ESTABLISHING SHOT - RUNWAY
They switch seats and SPIKE lifts off this time he blasts off at Mach 6 and
slams SAM back into the seat. SPIKE grins and does a barrel roll or two and
begins gaining altitude.

SPIKE
See anything?

SAM
Nope, not even a flitter.

SPIKE
Hmm.

SPIKE
banks to one side.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. SPACESHIP CELL
MANDY is wearing a mechanics shirt (slightly greasy)

MISU
So you were serious about that Hades bit then huh?

MAT
Ya don't get it do ya? I guess not since you're not from 
around here.� Ya see Mandy here or Asmandius is what we Earth 
types might call a demon. Succubus I believe.

MANDY
Well gee, we have always had a bad reputation with you guys.
bites lower lip and pouts

MAT
True.� So how come yer Dad sent you to college? And why in 
hell.� 

(stops himself)

Why did he send a demon to Earth after there haven't been any 
since oh say, 1400 AD or so?

MANDY
I don't know.

[blinks wide eyed]

I guess maybe he thought that one of us needed to go to 
school? And gosh ... No one's been up here cause it's been so 
dull lately with all the wars ... I mean daddy sent me here 
as a birthday present really 

MISU

[cheering up]

Oh yeah, how old are ya?

MANDY (GRINS)
I just turned two hundred.

MISU
facefaults!

MAT
thunks MISU 
Don't ask a lady her age.

MANDY
giggles

INT. SPACESHIP CELL
lights begin to flicker and ship rocks.

MAT
Hey what's goin' on?

EXT. ALIEN SPACESHIP
Puma fighter trying desperately to blast away from the ship but held by a
steel
cable. Cable starts to reel in and the Puma's engine ports begin to glow
cherry
red. 

INT. FIGHTER

SPIKE
Dammit all. The engines are overheating.

SAM
Might as well cut it out. They got you.

SPIKE
Got me? Yer in this too.

SAM
Yeah, but you were piloting.

[THUNKs SPIKE on the head]

SPIKE
Jeez, some girls. 

[throttles down engines.]

I wonder who would want to grab us like this?

SAM
Who knows.. Maybe yer dad is putting you on probation?

SPIKE
Funny.

INT. SPACESHIP - BRIDGE
darkened monitors and a low level red light, a chair dominates the room yet is
shrouded in darkness. A form seems to stir there.

DRAGON BASS
[speaks in a weirdly distorted voice that gives a deep throaty warble to it.]

Slave!

KAYNASA (SLAVE)
Yes master?

DRAGON BASS
What is the status of the prisoners?

KAYNASA (SLAVE)
They have been taken to detention block D Master, the Fighter 
has also been captured and the guards await your permission 
to board the craft.

DRAGON BASS (THUNDERING VOICE)
Do with them as you will, but do not hurt the males! 

INT. SPACESHIP� HANGAR BAY
several guards arrayed around the Puma toting nasty looking automatic weapons
and various bazooka looking guns. Yellow lights flash around and warning
klaxons sound in the distance. A huge door slides shut with the last bit of
light from Earth cut away with a huge CLANG.

SPIKE
scratches his head.

SPIKE
This is weird. Why haven't they captured us or at least shot 
at us or something?

SAM
Shut up, don't encourage them.

SPIKE
Sure babe [wham!]

SAM
And don't ...

SPIKE
I know, I know!

[rubs head and grimaces.]

SAM
Look, what the heck is going on over there?

SPIKE and SAM (POV)
several aliens have gathered with what looks like a portable L.A.W. and bring
it to bear on the Puma.

SPIKE
Uh oh.

EXT. FIGHTER
the cannon fires and splatters the ship with a mess of thick sticky elastic
compound which with a creak begins to dry and hardens into a steel like mesh.

SPIKE
Hey, the canopy won't raise!

SAM
No shit Sherlock, they sprayed us with tangler.� You don't 
happen to have a can of anti-tangler on you, do you?

SPIKE
What do I look like?

SAM

[Looks over her shoulder]

Hmm ...� An idiot maybe.

SPIKE
What I want to know is why the would use tangler on a whole 
ship. Isn't that kinda dumb?

SAM
Kinda dumb, it's stupid! We can still fire our weapons can't 
we?

SPIKE
experimentally pivots the turret

SPIKE
Yeah, no problem. And the Vulcan cannon shows that it's 
clear.

SAM
Jeez, what idiots.

INT. SPACESHIP - CELL

MANDY
Well, maybe daddy will get us out?

MISU
Oh boy.� That's great, have a demon tear up the hull and get 
us sucked out and explode like little frogs?

MAT
Little frogs?

MISU
Heh.� Er, figure of speech. No, knowing your pops rep. Mandy, 
don't you think it would be a bad idea to let him know you've 
been kidnapped?

MANDY
Yes, it would be a poor choice. What� will your father do, 
Misu?

MISU
<urk> I hadn't thought about that.� He's likely to send the 
whole fleet after me.

MAT
How comforting.� Say TI, you got that door open yet?

TI
is patiently cutting open the door with a small torch. Lifts up welders
glasses.

TI
Yeah, be a few minutes.� This thing was built out of a solid 
titanium alloy.� Geez.

[goes back to welding.]

INT. FIGHTER

SAM
What's taking so long for you to fire?

SPIKE
Hold on to your pants babe.

SAM
hits SPIKE with her helmet

SAM
How many ...

SPIKE
I know, I know ... Just give me a second.

EXT. FIGHTER� HANGAR BAY
SPIKE opens fire. The HANGAR BAY is filled with smoke and fire.
several explosions are heard as the hull explosively decompresses in the
hangar
and the hangar doors buckle and explode outward. Several more explosions are
heard as munitions go off and are just as quickly snuffed by the
decompression.

The lights remaining start flashing red and several blast doors drop in
strategic areas to seal the hull breach.

SAM
You idiot!� You weren't supposed to blow up the ship trying 
to get us out!� Thank god this fighter is pressurized or we'd 
be bloated frogs right now!

SPIKE
Well. You said ...

SAM
I didn't say, "open fire indiscriminately" I said shoot the 
guards!

SPIKE
Er. Well, I've got some pressure suits at least.

SAM (SLAPS HER FOREHEAD)
All right, break 'em out. Let's see if we can't find the 
others.

INT. SPACESHIP - BRIDGE
KAYNASA bows in front of DRAGON BASS

DRAGON BASS
Idiot! Can you not do anything right!? I said to trap them 
out of the fighter!

KAYNASA (SLAVE)
I am sorry master, I fail...

DRAGON BASS
Shut up. Now, spray the fighter and release them. This time 
get them out of the fighter and capture them. And remember, 
DON'T HURT THE MALES YOU IDIOT.

KAYNASA

[little tiny sniffle]

Yes master.

INT. SPACESHIP - CELL
TI is a few seconds away from cutting the door open.� The door finally falls
outward with a CLANG!� At which point several loud alarms go off and a blast
door drops down.

MISU
Damn our luck. It's probably a heat resistant ceramic, isn't 
it Ti?

TI
sparks fly uselessly off the surface of the DOOR.

TI
Yep, even the paint is heat resistant. Damnation, I should�ve 
known. Oh well at least ...

DOOR
begins to rise hesitantly.

SABURO
I believe, we are being called for.

[pulls out a small gun.]

MAT
Hey where'd the heck did you hide that?

SABURO
Trade secret.

[grins to himself]

VINNY
Good, you shoot. Me crack whoever head come through door. Heh 
heh.

MAT
Yeah, and I'll splatter 'em on the wall...

SPIKE
from behind door

SPIKE
Hey, you guys are awfully vindictive, I don't suppose you 
could give us a hand?

SAM (WHISPERS)
And these are your friends?

VINNY and MAT
walk up to door and lift it up. MANDY walks out first (still half nude but
with
shirt on) past SPIKE (who whistles but gets caught mid-whistle when she walks
past and he catches the bat wings.

SPIKE
Gah!

MISU (WALKS PAST SPIKE)
Said the same thing myself. Damnedest thing, but she wasn't 
kidding when she said she was from hell.� Thought she meant a 
bad housing district.

SPIKE
You ain't kidding!

SAM
[Slaps SPIKE]

Quit looking you jerk!

MAT
Yeah, I managed to look for you SPIKE. (heh heh)

VINNY
Yeah she cute.

TI
Really, ya ought to see her NAKED, Spike!

SPIKE
Duh... duh... G... g... girl.. N..n..naked?

SABURO
Oh yes, it was like the loveliest rose petal unfolding before 
our eyes.� It was like the purest ...

MISU
Knock it off Saburo...

MANDY
Oh, you guys.

[bats eyelashes.]

INT. SPACESHIP� HANGAR BAY
several guards look around HANGAR DECK and stare stupidly into cockpit as
though they expect SPIKE and SAM to instantaneously appear so they can capture
them. The squawk box comes to life.

DRAGON BASS
Idiots! Why have you not started searching for the prisoners!

KAYNASA (SLAVE)
I am sorry master, but we can not find them in the fighter.

DRAGON BASS
Idiot! They escaped! Search the ship and find them!

KAYNASA
Yes master.

INT. SPACESHIP - CORRIDOR
two sentries stand in front of the airlock to the hangar deck

SPIKE
Hey, anyone know where Saburo went?

[suddenly both guards slump to the ground with a huge and stupid grin on their
faces]

SABURO (WAVES)
Hi guys.

SPIKE
Hey! Where were you?

SABURO
Oh, I was trying out a new gadget. It knocks people out by 
making them *very* happy.

MISU
Hey, try it on me!

MAT
Not now you nitwit.� We've got to get off this spaceship 
before any of your trigger-happy parents get wind of this 
whole stupid operation.

MANDY
Hmm. I hope father is not checking on me.

MISU
What'cha mean Mandy?

MANDY
Well, usually he calls at this time. I think he will get a 
little mad when I don't answer.

MISU (GULPS)
Uh, I hope not.

MAT
Come on you two!

[walks to the door and twists the airlock handle. It slides open and everyone
rushes in headlong into KAYNASA.]

KAYNASA
Are you the prisoners?

MAT
Nope, they went the other way.

KAYNASA
a small alien tugs on KAYNASA's shirt. ALIEN whispers something and KAYNASA
looks at them.

KAYNASA (SNORTS)
You look like the prisoners.� Are you sure?

SABURO (PIPES UP)
Positive. I'm tellin' ya. They went that way 

[points down corridor]

SPIKE
Yeah, they went that way just a couple of seconds ago.

KAYNASA
Thank you.� You have helped a lot.

KAYNASA and GUARDS run down the corridor hoping he will run into them

SAM
Spike...� I thought you were stupid but I take that back now.

SPIKE
Thanks honey ...

[whap, thud, boom]

SAM
Don't call me that either you idiot or I�ll take back what I 
said.

MISU
Touching, isn't it?

MANDY (GIGGLES)
It's romantic.

MAT
Come on love birds.

takes guards weapon grabs the other and tosses it to VINNY

VINNY
What I do with this?

MAT
Hit people with it.

VINNY
[nods in stupid agreement brandishes automatic weapon like a club and hits it
up against the bulkhead a few times thus smashing it in the process.]

Hmph. No good.

[rips pipe from ceiling]

Much better.

MAT (SIGHS)
(sigh) All right, Sab' you got anything up yer sleeves?

SABURO
Of course.

MAT
Howabout you Ti?

TI
(holding UZI like weapon.)

You were saying?

MAT
How much CAN you hold in that pouch anyway?

TI
Don't ask.

MAT
I won't. All right, let's go.

SPIKE
But how are we gonna get off this ship?

MAT
I told ya I was a dockworker didn't I?� I meant a Space 
dockworker. What did you think, I do ground hog ships? Come 
on.

INT. SPACESHIP� HANGAR BAY
the guys follow the hangar deck in where MAT walks over to a small bay that
looks sort of greasy and just a little useless

SAM
You expect to throw us out the airlock and coast safely back 
down in this thing?

MAT
[eyes her]

No toots. Thought I'd use this.

[presses little green button and door slides upward with a whoosh.� Some dust
and old candy wrappers fly out]

SAM
[looks up at Mat�s 7 foot 5 inch bulk, and decides she'll let the �toots�
slide]

What, this junk heap?

MAT
Sure, space regs. say you gotta keep 'em space worthy so that 
in the event of an emergency the ship has a backup means of 
escape.

MISU
What is it?

MAT
It's an old repair module. But it doubles as an extra 
lifeboat.

SPIKE
<hmph> What a wreck. My ejection seat looks safer.

MAT
Probably is flyboy. Well, come on everybody hop in.� Say Sam, 
why don't you fly the fighter as a decoy?

SAM
Me? A decoy?

MAT
Yep, you. I think you can handle it without being shot down 
can't you? Or can't the little girl handle herself all alone?

SAM (HUFFILY)
I'll fly the damned fighter but I don't want to leave Spike 
alone. He might get stupid ideas.

MAT
Fine with me. He wouldn't fit in here anyway.

SPIKE
Me?! You got to be kidding. What gave you that idea?

SAM
Shut up and get moving.

INT. SPACESHIP� HANGAR BAY CORRIDOR
guards run down the corridors looking for the elusive prisoners

DRAGON BASS
Imbecile! They are in the hanger bay. Who let them by?

KAYNASA
I am sorry master. They told us ...

DRAGON BASS
They?� Who told you what?

KAYNASA
The nice people who told me the prisoners were going down the 
hall.

DRAGON BASS
IDIOT!� Those were the prisoners!

KAYNASA (UNCERTAINLY)
Are you sure Master? They said ...

DRAGON BASS
Shut up and find them!� They must be heading towards the 
hangar deck, fool!� Go!

KAYNASA (SNIFFLES)
Yes, master.

EXT. SPACESHIP
a large explosion billows away and a fighter streaks out followed by a
chugging
old space rig

SAM (RADIO)
All right Mat.� I don't see any pursuit, can I start blowing 
up the ship?

MAT (LAUGHS)
You couldn't even scratch the armor.� That's a duralloy 
titanium steel with about three feet of plasticoncrete 
between the actual armor and the hull.� You wouldn't even 
burn the paint.� Now buzz the bridge and see if you can't get 
their attention while I try to insert our orbit and get on 
the far side while you are busy.� This thing has to make a 
spiral descent so it'll take about thirty minutes or so.� Got 
it?

SAM
Got it.

[starts muttering]

Chauvinist pig, I'll show him..

EXT. SPACESHIP� CONNING TOWER
FIGHTER buzzes the CONNING TOWER� SPACESHIP begins to shift it's bulk and
brings it's cannons to bear on the small target

INT. SPACESHIP� BRIDGE (CONNING TOWER)
KAYNASA looks down at the FIGHTER with a stupid grin

KAYNASA (IN A BULL VOICE)
Fire!

EXT. SPACESHIP� LONG ANGLE
cannons that were meant to fire at ships several hundred thousand miles away
the size of at least a carrier miss incredibly wide of the tiny FIGHTER that
darts in between the cannons

SAM
Geez. What a stupid commander. They couldn't hit us unless 
they had an accident and blew up their ship.

SPIKE (PALES)
Yeah sure bab ... I mean yeah, but could you take it easier.
cuts himself off as she pulls a high G turn.

SAM (GRINS)
What'sa matter Spike?� I thought you liked to fly.

SPIKE
I do! But normally when I fly I usually like to think I'll 
live afterwards.

SAM
Jeez, have some guts. They couldn't hit the broad side of a 
barn.

SPIKE
A what?

SAM
Oh that's right. You're a city slicker.

SPIKE
And you're not?

SAM
Nope, I grew up in a farm in Islington.

SPIKE
Where's that?

SAM
[pulls ship in another tight turn]

Forget it. I think they're getting wise.

INT. SPACERIG
MANDY sits in MISU's lap; MAT and VINNY squeeze in the back and TI pilots the
SPACERIG

TI
Say, Mat?

MAT
Yeah 'ol pal?

TI
What's this flashing light for?

MAT
Hmm.

[looks at console]

We're out�ta gas guys.

ALL
What!?

MAT
Yep. Looks like the navy hasn't inspected this boat in 
awhile. Well, maybe we got some reserves. 
looks at board--stretches to fit better--punches a few keys
Damn.� The reserves were last filled ten years ago.� What 
idiot would forget to even fill the reserves? Say Ti ...

TI
Sorry Mat, I haven't got that much space...

INT. SPACESHIP - BRIDGE

DRAGON BASS
Listen slave, I will make it simple for you.� Go, take a 
fighter and catch the prisoners.� But do not blow them up? Do 
you understand?

KAYNASA (BIG SNIFFLE)
Yes Master. I understand.

EXT. SPACESHIP� HANGAR BAY
LARGE FIGHTER blasts off from the SPACESHIP and blasts towards Earth

INT. SPACERIG
MAT is huddled over the console begins pressing a few buttons and straightens 
up

MAT
Ok, I set the transponder on a distress frequency.� The Navy 
should pick us up in--

[looks at watch]

--two or so minutes.

TI
Or anybody else who gets the distress call.

MAT
Anything is better than those idiots!

TI
You've got a point. Well, worst could happen is some old 
geezer finds us. Nobody listens to those things.

INT. LARGE FIGHTER
KAYNASA looks out of the cockpit at the planet EARTH

KAYNASA (SOBS)
I will get them for the Master!

INT. SPACERIG� PORTAL VIEW
a large ship looms into view 

MAT
Great, it's the Navy. I wonder which ship that is.

EXT. SPACERIG� WIDE ANGLE
the SPACERIG is dwarfed by the approaching ship--the word NIMITZ streams by in
letters larger than the SPACERIG

INT. SPACERIG

RADIO
Lifeboat transponder TWO THREE--X-RAY ONE-SEVEN-ALPHA this is 
the Terran Naval Warship Nimitz, over.

MAT
Nimitz this is Lifeboat, over. We could use an assist. 
Primary and reserve fuel is out and pressure is dropping 
rapidly, over.

MISU
Pressure dropping! You never ...

MAT
Shhh!

NIMITZ
Lifeboat Alpha this is Nimitz, we are preparing to bring you 
aboard. Stand by, over.

EXT. SPACERIG - CLOSEUP
a small drone detaches from the NIMITZ with a trailing cable behind it.� it
attaches to the hull of the SPACERIG with a thunk. The SPACERIG is slowly
hauled aboard

INT. NIMITZ� WARDROOM
everyone is seated around the table and the CAPTAIN of the NIMITZ heads the
table.� He leans back and lay his cap on the table

CAPTAIN
This is a serious charge you know.� Kidnapping is nothing to 
laugh about.

ALL (SANS VINNY and MAT)
Yes sir.

MAT
Sir, I would like to know if you have been able to track the 
ship.

CAPTAIN
No, we have not, although we have her serial number from the 
Space Rig you escaped with. It should be an easy matter to 
track her down.

MAT
Thank you, Sir.

CAPTAIN
[eyes MAT]

Hmm, you seem military.� Have you ever been in the service 
before?

MAT
Uh, yes sir. I was in the Infantry.

CAPTAIN
Hmm. You don't look the type they'd accept for just ground 
hog duty but I've heard of stranger.

MAT
Yes sir.

MISU
Captain, did my Father find out about this?

CAPTAIN (GRIMACES)
Thank god, no. Listen kid, when you get crowned or elected 
over there, try to cut down on the wars, would ya?� It's a 
real headache.

MISU (ABASHED)
Yes sir.

CAPTAIN
We'll see what we can do, I'll have all of you dropped off 
wherever you are headed in a flitter.� Good luck.

[everyone gets up and starts heading out of the door]

CAPTAIN
Spike, I'd like to speak with you.

SPIKE
Yes sir.� Go on ahead you guys, I'll be there in a minute.

CAPTAIN
Jonathan...

SPIKE
I like Spike.

CAPTAIN
All right, Spike.� You know your father is not happy about 
you disobeying him.� You know what you did, I think you 
should consider yourself lucky in the fact that your father 
is the only one who knew you had been kidnapped.� As a matter 
of fact he was about to mobilize the Navy in a rescue 
mission.� You're lucky because he's forgotten about the 
fighter incident, and he'll be glad to see you--but I 
haven't, so don't think you got off the hook.

SPIKE (DEFEATED)
Yes sir.

CAPTAIN
Good, now head back and try not to get into too much trouble, 
ok?

SPIKE (MOROSELY)
Yes sir.

CAPTAIN
And Spike?

SPIKE
Yes sir?

CAPTAIN
Cheer up, it isn't the end of the world.

ACT III

Well, breaking up an act was sort of an experiment to see exactly how much
compromises a decent sized post.
