Script for Wonderwhat! (ANIMATORS AND VA'S ONLY)


So the script is finished! *minus some couple parts but I did really need to get this realeased so we can start working on it)

Obviously, this isnt the typical script formatting but thats only because whenever I copy-and-pasted the writing to scratch it changed alot of the formating and I wasnt going to go through all of that again.

whenever you record your voice lines, hide it inside one of your pre-existing and obscure projects and notify me in one of my very later profile comments by replying to them with which project youve hidden them in. After I backpack the audio and tell you, you can then delete the audio. This is just so we can try to keep production as secret as possible because no one likes spoilers.

Although some of the roles arent filled out yet, you can still work on this while we wait for them to be filled

anyways, heres the script! (feel free to change how some of the lines are phrased if you need to, as long as it still makes sense)



WONDERWHAT SCRIPT EPISODE 1

INT. THE SHIP - MORNING

The scene opens up with the camera zoomed in on a ticking clock on the ship. It is the only sound heard for a second until loud crashing sounds come in. The view switches to an angle where you can only see DIANA and TREVOR

DIANA
“YOU THREW OUT THE FIRST AID KIT?!”

We see Diana fuming and a pile of knocked over and squashed OJ boxes are at her feet.

TREVOR
“Seriously Diana?! That was my stash!”

Trevor is staring down at the squashed pile of OJ boxes, a look of utter despair on his face.

DIANA
“TREVOR, IT WAS IN THE PLACE OF THE FIRST AID KIT! PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY YOUR OJ IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN POSSIBLY LIFE SAVING SUPPLIES?!”

Trevor crosses his arms and sticks his non-existent nose in the air

TREVOR
“Psshh, we’ll never need them, and besides, I needed room for my emergency stash.”

Diana grabs the collar of Trevor’s shirt

DIANA
(Growling)
“So help me I’m about to throw you off the ship with the first-aid kit.”

Trevor’s eyes widen for a moment before he smirks

TREVOR
“You cant—if you still want me to fund your mission”

DIANA
“But I can still lock you in the bathroom.”

Diana starts dragging him by the collar of his shirt over to the bathroom

TREVOR
“What?! Let go of me!”

Trevor squirms in Dianas grasp as she shoves Trevor inside the bathroom, pulling up a chair to block it and sitting in it.

DIANA
(Sighs)
“Im gonna kill Trevor.”

GABE(O.C)
“You can’t Diana.”

DIANA
“I can try.”

The camera switches to show BEN and GABE sitting down on the seats behind them. Ben isn’t paying attention and is studying a book on biology, Gabe is sitting with his hands folded neatly in his lap.

GABE
“But then you’d be an outlaw for attempted murder.”

DIANA
“Gabe, Stop talking or I’ll have to add more crimes to my file.”

BEN
(Looks up)
“Whats this about murder?”

Diana rolls her eye.

DIANA
(Sighs)
“Seriously Ben, If you were listening to the screams of rage earlier you would-wait…is Trevor snoring?”

Diana looks at the door behind her as the sound of very loud snoring radiates from it. Her face contorts with rage as she grumbles curses under her breath.

DIANA
“I quit, I cant deal with him.”

She storms over to her rooms door and disappears through it, slamming it loudly. Ben and Gabe are left in silence, both glancing at each other from the corner of their eyes.

BEN
“What did I just witness again?”

GABE opens his mouth to speak but is interrupted by TREVOR as he creeps out the bathroom.

TREVOR
(Haughtily)
“Knew I could wait it out.”

GABE
“You know you have an angry psychopath who’s seeking for revenge in the other room right?”

TREVOR plops down on the seat beside Gabe and he scoots away subtly.

TREVOR
“Gabe, you should know that alls well that ends with me living.”

A static sound comes from the intercom and BAXTER’s voice comes through.

BAXTER (O.S)
“Is everything alright back there?”

intercut to:

Baxter is sitting at the wheel of the pilots area, both confused and concerned.

BAXTER
“I heard Diana shouting.”

intercut to:

BEN
“Yep! All good!”

INT. THE SHIP - MORNING


INT. THE SHIP - DAY
The scene opens up to a birds-eye view of Ben lying on his bed, the top bunk in a cramped room. An open extbook and scattered notes lie next to him.

BEN (V.O)
“It’s the first day of Diana’s mission and we’re already at each other’s throats, or well, at least her and Trevor..”

Ben flips over onto his side and the camera zooms up on a photo of Diana, GABE, TREVOR, and BEN taped on to the wall.

BEN (V.O)
“I really don’t understand her obsession with writing an unbiased book on the planets and galaxies. Yeah, it’s cool, but what happens if this is all for waste and no one buys the book once it’s published? Atleast if its all for nothing, Ill have the memories of the journey. Who would pass up the chance to go on a long trip with some of your friends—or well, besides our pilot, Baxter, I don’t know him much but Diana claims he’s a chill guy-“

Ben is interrupted by static coming through the intercom.

BAXTER (O.S)
“Ben, Diana needs you outside”

Ben attempts to roll out of the bed but forgets that hes on the top bunk and falls off, a loud CRASH goes off as he smacks into the floor.

BEN
“owwwww.”

He sits up and grabs the intercom off of the desk, rubbing his shoulder.

BEN
*in pain*
“Coming.”

Ben gets up and opens the door, (edit description of living room later)

DIANA
“Did you fall off your bed again?”

BEN
*embarrassed*
“Sorta”

Diana laughs and points to Trevor and Gabe behind her currently playing Poker on the table.

DIANA
“take a seat clumsy”

GABE
“Well there goes my last chip.”

Ben looks behind Diana.

BEN
“Wait, you aren’t playing with actual money are you?”

TREVOR
“Nope, potato chips.”

Ben walks over, pulls out a chair, and plops down on it.

BEN
“Sweet! Ive got some potato chips back in my room, deal me in!”

Diana crosses her arms and glares at the others.

DIANA
“Can we please focus? Or would you rather be left completely clueless as to where we’re going?”

TREVOR
*looks up*
“Weren’t we going to Solaraith first?”

DIANA
“You just proved my point. We’re actually going to planet B-832.”

Ben looks up at her confused

BEN
“Planet what now?”

DIANA
“B-832, you know that planet that pretty much all the galaxies have agreed to never interact with?”

they all nod

DIANA
“its that one, anyways, we need to go over some ground rules before we get there.”

Diana grabs a camera and holds it out for them to see.

DIANA
“This is called a “camera” it’s like our ardigrams (pronounced ar-di-grams) except it works a little differently, im using this rather than those since we’re trying to blend in andddd they tend to be loud.”

Trevor is looking down at a couple of cards in his hand, a look of disbelief on his face.

TREVOR
“Your cheating.”

DIANA
*confused*
“Excuse me?”

Ben looks up from his cards glaring at Trevor and loudly whispering.

BEN
“Trevor, shush and stop being such a sore looser.”

GABE
“It is suspicious youve gotten three full houses in a row…”

DIANA
“Oh for goodness sake!”

Diana crushes all of the potato chips on the table with her fist. The others look up at her as if she just destroyed their most prized possession.

TREVOR
“See?! This is what happens when you cheat! Diana gets mad and crushes the pot!”

Ben picks up a piece of a potato chip

BEN
“Alas, a short lived life for these sad little potato chips.”

Diana glares at them all.

DIANA
“Shut up and pay attention.”

Diana then resumes her presentation as if nothing happened.

DIANA
“Anyways, they dont know a single thing about the fact that theres multiple planets inhabited by intelligent species, they were never reached during the enlightenment.”

Gabe raises his hand nervously to ask a question.

DIANA
“What.”

GABE
*points to Ben*
“What about how we look? Theyre gonna be confused if they’ve never seen a Wonderwhatian before, frankly im still confused by them.”

Ben smacks him on the shoulder

DIANA
*laughs*
“Well you may be able to pass off as just a really tall local, but the others not so much. Thats why I made these…”

Diana pulls out four watches and held them out to the crew, taking one and putting it on her wrist.

DIANA
“So you see, if you press this button…”

Diana pushes a button on the watch and a purple shine emits from her for a moment before disappearing.

TREVOR
“Nothing happened, are we trying to dazzle the locals or something?”

Diana side-eyes him

DIANA
“No, it just makes us look like…whatever they call their species, but only they can see it. If it was the same for Wonderwhatian eyes, or, well, anyone else besides them, it’d be banned for being able to evade the law and assume different identities.”

Trevor snatches up the camera while Dianas talking, inspects it, and starts pushing all the buttons

TREVOR
“How does this thingy-ma-bob work?”

Diana snatches the camera and starts fiddling with it, sighing in frustration.

DIANA
“You messed up the settings, I’ll show you when we get there…”

She sets the camera down

DIANA
“Ill be right back, I have to discuss something with Baxter.”

Diana exits the room through the door to the pilots room, a window is right beside it and the curtains are open, enebaling you to see whats going on inside.

Trevor gets up and smooshes his face against the window to try and hear what their saying.

BEN
“I dont know why she hired Baxter as a pilot anyways, cant you pilot a ship?”

Ben looks at Gabe, who is now sweating nervously

GABE
“Well, uhhh…you well see-“

TREVOR
“Oooo, I think her and Baxter are discussing emergency protocols.”

Ben turns away from Gabe, who lets out a sigh of relief, and looks at Trevor confused.

BEN
“Emergency protocols? I dont trust your ears one bit, lemme hear.”

Ben gets up and presses his face against the window next to Trevor. The camera shows Diana and Baxter talking but their words are muffled.

BEN
“Did she just say ‘chance of possible explosions?’”

TREVOR
“No, I think she said ‘dance with optimal erosions.”

Ben sideyes Trevor

BEN
“That doesn’t even make sense.”

GABE
“Chance of possible explosions? Now I need to see whats going on.”

Gabe gets up and also presses his face against the window like the others.

TREVOR
“HAH, I think I heard her say ‘Ben might cause trouble’”

BEN
“Your hearing things.”

GABE
“Shush you two, I cant hear.”

Diana looks back, notices them, and glares. She walks over to the window and shuts the curtain on them.

TREVOR
“Goodbye secret view, hello curtain”

Ben looks at Gabe and shrugs

BEN
“Well what now? Back to our game?”

GABE
“Not if you plan on cheating again.”

BEN
“I wasn’t cheating…”

Ben trails off as he looks outside and sees another ship passing by them.

BEN
“Whats that?”

Gabe squints, trying to get a better look at the ship.

GABE
“It looks like an MUPD ship—but I could be wrong.”

Intercut to: Diana and Baxter

BAXTER
“Shoot, looks like Gidgets here.”

DIANA
“Who’s Gidget-“

Dianas interrupted by the phone ringing, Baxter picks it up.

BAXTER
*sighs*
“Yes? What is it?”

He glances out of the window to see GIDGET talking on the phone in the ship next to them.

GIDGET (O.S)
“Hello Baxter, this ship seems to be new, I haven’t seen any thing on it being registered with the MUPD.“

Baxter groans

BAXTER
“Cant you just let us off? I’ll make sure the ship is registered later but we’re sort of in the middle of something.”

GIDGET (O.S)
“No, I cant trust you enough to not go off and start committing various crimes whilst you’re unregistered.”

Baxter leans away from the phone so Gidget cant hear him

BAXTER
“She does this to everyone, shes a menace to society.”

Baxter resumes talking to Gidget

BAXTER
“Gidget, my file is completely clear and I have no motive at all to start a life of crime today.”

GIDGET (O.S)
“Thats OFFICER Gidget to you…”

Theres a pause as the sound of papers being shuffled comes through the phone.

GIDGET (O.S)
“Well, I guess I can give you a temporary license plate BUT JUST THIS ONCE.”

BAXTER
“Thank goodness, just send it over through the NDMM and I’ll stick it on when we land.”

Baxter presses a button on a machine and it gives off a small little ZAP and a license plate sticker appears on top of it. The sticker is slightly singed and Baxter sighs.

BAXTER
“Ok, is that all?”

GIDGET
“Yep, have a nice day.”

The ship beside them pulls away.

Intercut to: the common room

Diana opens the door to see Ben, Trevor, and Gabe look at her confused.

BEN
“Who was that?”

DIANA
“Nothing you need to worry about, we have about an hour until we arrive at B-832 so do whatever you want to do for now.”

Ben smirks and Diana sighs

DIANA
“That DOESN’T involve trying to stuff Trevor in a cabinet.”

BEN
“Well there goes my plans…”

TREVOR
“HEY! NOT COOL!”

INT. THE SHIP - NOON

Diana is looking out the window with concealed excitement. Ben is playing solitaire on the table, Gabe is sitting on the couch reading and Trevor is napping on the opposite side of him.

DIANA
“Looks like we’re almost there!”

BEN
“‘bout time!”

Gabe puts down his book, a look of nervousness on his face

GABE
“I dont think I should go, I mean, ill probably just give you guys away with my nerves..”

BEN
“No you wont, Trevor will probably beat you to it anyways.”

Gabe glances at Trevor and smiles faintly

GABE
“You know, you shouldn’t diss on Trevor when he’s right in front of you, even if he’s sleeping”

BEN
“What can I say? I like playing with fire.”

DIANA
“Speaking of, get him up, itd be better to give him some time to wake up before we get off onto a whole other planet.”

BEN
“Gladly.”

Ben shakes Trevor’s shoulder who opens his eyes and looks at Ben, confused

TREVOR
“…wha? You aren’t Sir Feilham (pronounce it however you want).”

Ben looks at him confused

BEN
“What? What kind of dream were you even having?”

Trevor sits up and yawns

TREVOR
“The best one.”

Diana rolls her eye and sighs.

DIANA
“You guys are missing an amazing view.”

Trevor rolls off of the couch and Ben chuckles. Gabe closes his book and gets up, walking with Ben over to the window.

BEN
“It looks just like Wonderwhat, whats so special?”

Diana side-eyes him and points to the continents

DIANA
“Wonderwhat is just a single continent, B-832 has seven of them.”

Trevor gets up and presses his face against the window

TREVOR
“Woahhhh, thats hugeeee.”

A static sound comes from the intercom and Baxter’s voice comes through

BAXTER(O.S)
“We’ll be landing in 20 minutes, hang tight.
*Quiet*
Please dont let Dianas warnings come true, id like to go back record free…”

EXT.

They all step off of the ship and Diana stares ahead in wonder

DIANA
“…wow.”

BEN
“Haven’t seen you this impressed since…”

Ben pauses, tapping his chin until Gabe chimes in.

GABE
“Well now I cant think of anything.”

BEN
(Laughing)
“That tends to happen to me alot.”

DIANA
“Come on.”

they all walk off and there is a very quick transition scene here but im not sure how to describe it so whatever)

The camera zooms out to see Ben, Diana, Trevor, and Gabe glancing around at the city. A crowd surrounds them and whatever

DIANA
“we are now officially in the middle of one of B-832’s cities!”

Diana peels a wrapper off of her shoe.

DIANA
(disgusted)
“Its…dirtier than I expected”

BEN
(shrugs)
“still cleaner than our bathroom”

GABE
“speaking of, wheres Trevor?”

TREVOR
(Offended)
“WHY DID TALKING ABOUT OUR BATHROOM REMIND YOU OF ME?!”

GABE
“I dont—know? thats just usually what I say to switch from completely different topics?”

Trevor crosses his arms and refuses to look at Gabe, Diana rolls her eye and pulls out her journal.

DIANA
“Stop bickering and pay attention-“

TREVOR
“Im hungry.”

DIANA
“Well thats not my fault-“

BEN
“Im starving as well.”

GABE
“I second Ben.”

DIANA
“Did you not pack lunch?”

BEN
“I brought money to buy some.”

DIANA
“B-832 doesnt use Jexs (this is their currency name if you need to know).

BEN
“Can I trade in my Jexs for their currency then?”

DIANA
“think about what you just said.”

BEN
“Oh yeah, they probably dont exchange money from a planet they dont even knows exists.”

DIANA
“exactly.”

GABE
“So what now? I brought Jexs as well.”

DIANA
“Well I have a little bit of B-832 currency but im trying not to waste it on food.”

Diana looks back the others, who are all giving her hopeful looks, and gives in.

DIANA
(sighs)
“Fine, but what are you going to eat? I dont think youll find any food here very appitizing.”

BEN
“I dont know, I cant read any of the signs—any that say food or something?”

DIANA
“Theres plenty.”

BEN
“Then why didn’t you say so?”

DIANA
“Who on Wonderwhat is going to eat..”

Diana squints at a sign

DIANA
“Pie-a-za”

TREVOR
“I would!”

BEN
“You also would eat that mysterious goo stuck to the bottom of your shoe so thats not saying much.”

TREVOR
(mumbling)
“It was sorta tasty”

GABE
“Im not sure whether I should be concerned or disgusted.”

DIANA
“If you dont decide soon, ill make you eat the trash on the ground so hurry up.”

BEN
*panicked*
“OK PIE-ZA SOUNDS GOOD!”

DIANA
“Took you long enough.”

Diana shuffles through her pockets for her wallet and pulls out a wad of cash.

DIANA
“Dont do anything stupid while im not watching or im stuffing this wad of cash down your throat.”

Diana walks off, leaving the others alone while she talks with a vendor in the distance.

BEN
*smirks*
“Ok, wheres the nearest building I can burn down?”

Gabe whiffs him playfully on the shoulder and Ben laughs

TREVOR
*pouts*
“Diana totally hates me.”

GABE
“Well maybe if you didn’t act so immature she might treat you better.”

Ben elbows him on the side

GABE
“Hey! Im plenty mature!”

BEN
“I don’t think Diana would agree, she thinks everyone’s immature.”

TREVOR
“Yeah! She needs to loosen up a little!”

BEN
“Trevor, you have no say in this conversation.”

TREVOR
“Seriously?!”

Diana comes back with a small cardboard box in her hands.

DIANA
“Im back, enjoy.”

She hands the box to Gabe who smiles nervously.

DIANA
“You can eat whatever junk that is while we head over to the museum. Lets go.”

Diana walks off and the others follow.

INT. THE MUSEUM ENTRANCE - AFTERNOON

The museum is crowded and noisy, Ben, Trevor, and Gabe are looking around and Diana is coming back with a couple tickets in her hand

DIANA
“Ive got the tickets!”

BEN
“Sweet!”

Diana hands them out to the others and then her watch lights up. She glances at it and her eye widens

DIANA
“Shoot, Baxter says the ship wont start.”

She looks up and glares at the others

DIANA
“I have to leave for a couple minutes, DONT and I mean DONT cause any trouble while im gone. Please.”

She hands Gabe the camera and the blaster tucked into her belt

DIANA
“Heres the camera so you can take pictures while im gone. Also Take the blaster just in case you get into trouble, WHICH YOU SHOULDNT, but just incase. DONT let Ben even touch it!”

GABE
(Nods)
“Got it.”

Ben lets out a sigh of disappointment as he stares at the blaster.

Diana waves her hand in front of Bens face

DIANA
“No, no stop looking at it. Even looking at it is dangerous when it comes to you.”

BEN
“Im not THAT destructive.”

DIANA
“Remember what happened at Orions house?”

BEN
(Laughing nervously)
“Oh yeah.”

DIANA
“Exactly, Im leaving now.”

Diana makes an “im watching you” sign as she walks away

Trevor peeks over Gabe’s shoulder.

TREVOR
“Oooo, you have the camarama thing!”

GABE
“It’s a “camera” not—whatever you just said.”

TREVOR
“Whateverrr.”

Trevor points to the museum entrance

TREVOR
“Can we go in now? I want to see what Diana keeps getting excited about.”

Gabe stares at the entrance.

GABE
“Yeah, I guess so.”

They start heading towards the entrance and Trevor races ahead, meanwhile Ben falls into step next to Gabe and leans closer to him intrudingly.

BEN
“Sooooo—whats it gonna take for you to give me that blaster?”

Gabe looks at Ben and jumps, not realizing he was that close. He shrinks away uncomfortably.

GABE
“Diana entrusted it with me, not you.”

BEN
“She wont ever knowwww, I just want to see what model it is and ill hand it right back, I promise.”

Ben gives him puppy dog eyes but Gabe ignores him and inspects the blaster.

GABE
“Its an Eroness 27, there, now you know the model.”

Ben groans in response and rolls his shoulders forward dramatically, giving up on trying to get the blaster. Gabe grabs his camera to take pictures but suddenly gasps and Ben looks up and gasps as well.

In front of them is the museums gigantic display of a T-rex along with other dinosaur bone models scattered throughout.

Ben and Gabe stare at the exhibit, looking quite uncomfortable.

BEN
*stammering*
“W-wow they really like putting their enemies bones on display, huh.”

GABE
“I dont want to take a picture of this…”

Trevor pops up from behind Gabe and snatches the camera from his hands

TREVOR
“I WILL!”

Trevor runs off into the museum and Gabe sighs.

GABE
“Well, I guess he’s our cameraman now.”

Trevor starts snapping pictures directly in random strangers faces and they start to shout at him, Gabe rolls his eyes.

GABE
“Let me go and get him before they start throwing things at him—or he upsets the wrong person.”

Gabe puts the blaster in Bens hands, forgetting to not let him have it, and runs after Trevor.

Ben stares after Gabe then looks down at the blaster and grins.

BEN
“Oh, ho, ho.”

Ben starts tapping random spots on the blaster.

BEN
“Wheres the cool gadgets that Diana probably hid inside here…”

Gabe turns around, realizing that he just did the one thing Diana told him not to. Trevor dashes away in the background with the camera, evading the now slightly angry citizens.

GABE
“How did you get that?!”

BEN
“Uhh, you handed it to me.”

Gabe looks shocked for a moment then shakes his head.

GABE
“That was an idiotic thing of me to do. Well…put it down before you blow something up!”

BEN
“Awww come on! I still haven’t found any of the secret gadgets it probably has! All I’ve found so far is this cool scope, which works well as binoculars, but thats all.”

Ben peers through the scope and points it upwards where the pterodactyl model is.

BEN
“Hey! I can see the strings holding some of the bones up!”

Trevor suddenly pops up from behind Ben.

TREVOR
“Woah, that is a good scope.”

Ben lets out a startled shout and a CLICK goes off from the blaster, a small light beam shoots out, cutting through the small strings holding the pterodactyl up. The crowd looks up and gasps as the remaining strings snap and it comes crashing down. It smashes into a stegosaurus model with a loud CRASH and shards go flying everywhere.

A moment of absolute silence follows, Ben, Trevor, and Gabe are all staring at it in absolute shock before Gabe interrupts the silence.

GABE
“Run.”

The crowd breaks out into a flurry of chaos as Gabe grabs Ben’s wrist and pulls him away.

GABE
“QUICK! TO THOSE DOORS OVER THERE!”

Gabe points to a set of doors with a construction sign pasted on them up ahead. When they near it he tears off the tape blocking the handle and slams into the door with his shoulder, pushing it open and they race inside and slam the door shut.

INT AND EXT. THE MUSEUM (Construction exhibit) - AFTERNOON

The room displays a whole array of fake skyscrapers and construction materials scattered throughout, on the ceiling is a gigantic SKYLIGHT and afternoon light pours through it

BEN
“WE NEED TO BLOCK THE DOOR AND FAST!”

Ben glances around frantically with his back pressed against the door and Gabe scrambles to find something to block it.

GABE
“GOT IT!”

Gabe runs over with a long plank in his arms, he lodges it into the doors and sighs in relief. Ben slumps to the ground in exhaustion, taking a couple moments to catch his breath before speaking.

BEN
*sighs*
“Thanks…”

Gabe laughs nervously and gives a pained smile.

GABE
“I give the blaster to you and you blow up the freaking building-“

BEN
“-one structure actually, not the whole…”

Ben shuts his mouth once he notices Gabe glaring at him. Gabe continues as he starts pacing around the room, not meeting Ben’s gaze.

GABE
*rambling*
“Wait until Diana finds out, wait no, wait until the whole UNIVERSE finds out and we’ll be listed as outlaws! Terrorists! Im trying not to be either thank you very much and you don’t care! At all!”

BEN
“I didn’t try to! My fingers slipped when Trevor jumped up behind me, I swear!”

GABE
“I just don’t understand how you can be so clumsy! You’re almost as clumsy as me before—well…when I was really clumsy!”

BEN
“Lets see you get startled and not hit the trigger.”

GABE
“I wouldn’t have my finger near the…”

Gabe trails off, staring into space.

BEN
“Whats wrong?”

Ben pauses then corrects himself.

BEN
“Or well, whats wrong thats not the fact that we probably have a whole bunch of police searching for us?”

GABE
*quietly*
“We left Trevor………WE LEFT TREVOR!”

BEN
“Im sure he’ll be fine-“

GABE
“It’s Trevor, he’s probably trying to speed-run how many locals he can tick off before they throw something at him!”

BEN
“Good point-“

Bens interrupted by wailing SIRENS blasting out of the museum speakers

GABE
“GAH!”

He falls onto his butt in surprise, covering his ears.

GABE
“WHAT IS THAT! ARE THEY TRYING TO FLOOD US OUT?! IS THIS A MILITARY TACTIC?!”

BEN
*covering his ears*
“I DONT KNOW!”

Ben is interrupted by the door ahead of him creaking open and Diana storms in, dragging Trevor by the collar of his shirt.

DIANA
“I LEAVE YOU GUYS ALONE FOR ONE SECOND AND THE NEXT I HEAR SIRENS GOING OFF?! YOUR LIKE UNCONTROLLABLE TODDLERS!”

She scans the room, her fists clenched in anger.

DIANA
“HOW’D YOU EVEN DO IT?!”

She glances at the blaster in Bens hands.

DIANA
“Never mind, the blaster in your hands says it all, speaking of, toss it over.”

Ben throws it to Diana and she catches it, swiftly shooting the speaker in the room and stopping the wailing siren.

DIANA
“Much better, now continue.”

Ben takes a deep breath before resuming

BEN
“I didn’t mean to! Trevor came up from behind and spooked me!”

Diana glares at Trevor, who shrinks back in response.

TREVOR
*in a high pitched voice*
“I didn’t know he had a blaster in his hands, he wasn’t even allowed to look at it!”

DIANA
“How did you even get it? I handed it to you and told you to not let it out of your sight!”

She stares at Gabe as he fumbles for an answer.

GABE
*quietly*
“Well…You see…Trevor snatched the camera out of my hands and…well he started taking pictures in the locals faces and…I might of accidentally handed it to Ben so I could go stop Trevor…”

Diana sighs, closing her eye for a moment before turning back to the others.

DIANA
“How on Wonderwhat did you get your travel permits if you cant even manage to not cause chaos for 20 minutes.”

Trevor smiles.

TREVOR
*cheerfully*
“I bribed the MUPD!”

Everyone stares at him in shock for a moment.

DIANA
“…I’m not even going to question that—I contacted Baxter and he’s on his way right now. If we manage to stay here without exploding anything else—and figure out how to get out of this room unnoticed, we can hop into the ship and escape without any more hassle.”

BEN
“Well uhhh, what about the MUPD?”

DIANA
“They cant prove it was us that caused this, remember, we’re still disguised from the locals by the watches.”

GABE
“How are we even going to get out of this mess?! Unless you have some magical device that can teleport us out of here, we’re stuck!”

Diana starts digging through her pockets.

GABE
“Are you actually checking to see if you have a magical teleportation device?”

DIANA
*looks up*
“Maybe.”

BEN
“This isn’t working! All I have that could be considered even remotely an idea is my conspiracy theory that Trevor is secretly a robot that runs on OJ. And if we smack him hard enough, he might start spitting out actual ideas.”

TREVOR
*insulted*
“Im not a robot!”

BEN
“Thats what you WANT us to think.”

DIANA
“Thats the dumbest thing Ive ever heard.”

GABE
“Hm, I think its only in the top 10, ive heard worse.”

Gabe starts counting on his fingers in the background

DIANA
“Well we’re getting OFF TOPIC, the clocks ticking and we need to get out of here, and fast.”

GABE
*looks up from counting*
“I think I’ve got something.”

DIANA
“As long as it doesn’t involve Trevor being a robot im all…whats the saying you guys use?”

BEN
“Ears.”

DIANA
“Thanks.”

GABE
“It sounds really outlandish, but If we somehow manage to open the skylight above us, Baxter could fly the ship over it and lower the ladder so we can climb up.”

DIANA
“Thats…a really good idea actually. You listening guys? Follow Gabe’s example and try not to be absolute idiots for once.”

Trevor gives a relieved sigh

TREVOR
“Phew, im not getting smacked today because of some conspiracy theory.”

Diana smacks him on the shoulder in response and Trevor yelps, rubbing his arm.

BEN
“So—aside from the possible chance of the police finding us in here before Baxter arrives, we just wait?”

DIANA
“Yea-“

Diana is interrupted by the door being busted open behind her and a (squadron?) of (which police force handles these types of situations again?) pours in.

POLICE OFFICER 1
“DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND DONT MOVE!”

DIANA
*sourly*
“Shoot, congratulations Ben, you just jinxed us.”

Ben lets out a groan of frustration.

Diana pulls out the blaster and drops it on the floor, raising her hands and the others follow.

GABE
*panicked*
“What did he just say?!”

DIANA
“That we’re under arrest.”

BEN
“WE’RE UNDER ARREST?!”

TREVOR
“Theres no OJ in jail! I wont survive!”

DIANA
“Boo-hoo, like thats the worst part of being in jail. Not only are we under arrest, but our watches battery is gonna run out at SOME point and we’ll be revealed as whatever they call non-locals and we’ll probably be killed, I’ve heard they don’t take too kindly to outsiders.”

BEN
*glancing at Trevor*
“This would be a REALLY good time to reveal you’re secretly a robot and possess fighting abilities.”

TREVOR
“IM NOT A ROBOT.”

The police officers come forward to handcuff Diana and the others

DIANA
“Looks like we’re going to have to do this the messy way.”

BEN
“What-“

DIANA
“Take off your watches.”

BEN
“WHAT?!”

DIANA
“Do what I say or get killed! Your choice!”

Gabe, Ben, and Trevor shut off their watches, three different powering off sounds coming from the watches. Diana follows as well and the police officers gasp, overhead, the ship can be seen moving to hover over the skylight.

Police officer 2
“What on earth?!”

Diana punches the officer in the face and yells into the Wonderwhat equivalent of a walkie talkie she has strapped to her side.

DIANA
“TAKE COVER GUYS! BAXTER, NOW!”

The others dash for cover and almost Immediately, the glass covering the skylight shatters and a ladder is dropped down. Diana jumps to grab one of the rungs.

DIANA
“COME ON GUYS!”

Ben, Trevor, and Gabe dont have to be told twice and sprint over to the ladder.

BEN
“THIS IS THE MOST INSANE PLAN EVER.”

The ship starts to move, pulling them into the air and everyone starts climbing up to the ship.

DIANA
“WE WOULDN’T BE DOING THIS IF YOU DIDN’T TOUCH THE BLASTER!”

BEN
“FOR THE LAST TIME, IT WAS TREVOR’S FAULT!”

TREVOR
*in the distance*
“SERIOUSLY?!”

DIANA
“IM FIXING TO THROW YOU OFF THE LADDER!”

Diana reaches the top and hauls herself onto the ship, helping everyone else up. She leans against the wall, Ben and Trevor flop on the floor, and Gabe crashes onto the couch.

BAXTER
“I thought you were just being paranoid when you went over all of the worst case scenarios and emergency procedures!”

DIANA
“I honestly wish I was just being paranoid.”

GABE
“So thats what you were talking about…”

BAXTER
*sighs*
“You shouldve put this in the contract…”

DIANA
“Again, emergency procedures- BAXTER WATCH OUT!”

Baxter whips his head around to find a helicopter swooping in front of them. He jerks back the control stick as hard as he can and it suddenly snaps, now stuck in hover mode.

BAXTER
“Shoot.”

BEN
“Did I just hear a snap?!”

BAXTEE
“Looks like you’re going to have to stall while I fix this.”

Baxter pulls out a toolbox and starts unscrewing the panel underneath the control stick. Diana starts looking through the cabinets for something and then pulls out a book with the title “English for Wonderwhatians who don’t want to start a war.”

BEN
“What’s that?”

DIANA
“A distraction device, Baxter, can you roll out the platform?”

BAXTER
“On it.”

Baxter hits a button and a small platform comes out of the side of the ship.

GABE
“Why on Wonderwhat do we have that?”

DIANA
“Well I planned on using it as a patio at some point but it’s serving a different purpose today.”

Diana steps out of the ship and onto the platform, holding on to the side of the ship and flipping through the pages of the book.

(I do not know how you specify that a character is speaking in a dif language so edit this later *NOTE, THIS PART MAY HAVE TO BE REDONE LATER SINCE IT REMAINS SUBJECT TO CHANGE UNTIL I GET THIS FIGURED OUT*

DIANA
*reading*
“Uhhh, we are peaceful!”

The police officer driving in the helicopter looks confused

Intercut to: police officer 3

Police officer 3
“They can speak our language?”

Another person behind him nods, lowering his binoculars.

Police officer 4
“Seems so.”

Intercut to: Diana

Diana makes a peace sign and continues.

DIANA
“We apologize for the trouble!”

Intercut to: Trevor inside the ship

Trevor peers out of the window

TREVOR
“What is she saying? I wanna know?”

GABE
“Shes probably negotiating and-“

BEN
“-apologizing for our chaos?”

GABE
“Yeah.”

TREVOR
“Why does she get to do all the cool interspecies negotiations?”

GABE
“Because she actually knows what she’s doing?”

TREVOR
*frustrated*
“Well im gonna help out, shes probably having them arrest us and Im gonna make sure she doesn’t. Besides, she does everything and it’d be nice for a change of pace.”

GABE
“Trevor wait!”

Trevor vanishes out of the door way and taps Diana on the shoulder.

DIANA
“If you could let us go- WHAT DO YOU WANT?!”

She reels on Trevor.

DIANA
“I AM CLEARLY SAVING YOUR BUTTS, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MAKING IT OUT OF HERE ALIVE?!”

TREVOR
“I want a turn speaking!”

DIANA
“Over my dead body, you’ll probably butcher the words and accidentally start a war, or well, another one.”

She turns back and continues talking. Trevor looks furious and peers over Dianas shoulder at the book.

TREVOR
“I can speak all of these just fine! And, at the least, make those weird finger signs you keep on doing!”

DIANA
“Your just gonna screw this up, PLEASE GO AWAY!”

TREVOR (O.C)
“I CAN MOVE MY FINGERS TOO! SEE?! EASY!”

Diana gasps

DIANA
“TREVOR STOP!”

Intercut to: police helicopter

Police officer 3
“Ok, they’re definitely not seeking peace.”

Police officer 4
“Well, one’s making peace signs, but the other one…id take that as a death threat.”

Police officer 3
*into headset*
“Are we firing?”

Intercut to: outside the ship

Diana shoves Trevor behind her frantically.

DIANA
*panicked*
“PEACE! NOT WAR, PEACE!”

A bullet deflects off the side of the ship in response.

DIANA
“LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE NOW! GET BACK IN THE SHIP!”

Diana sprints back inside, dragging Trevor with her, and slams the door shut. The sounds of ricocheting bullets against the ship can be heard outside.

BAXTER
“Fixed it!”

DIANA
“GOOD TIMING, HIT THE PEDAL!”

Baxter looks confused.

BAXTER
“I thought you were making peace with the locals not-“

Baxter whips his head around as a bullet thunks off the edge of the window, causing a slight crack.

BAXTER
“I’ll ask later.”

The ship suddenly surges forward, Gabe and Diana grab onto the wall while Trevor grabs the couch but Ben unfortunately looses his balance and falls onto the ground.

BAXTER
“HANG ON!”

The ship starts tilting and Ben gets thrown to the side whilst everyone else hangs on just fine. He lets out a muffled cry of pain.

GABE
“Whats with all the tight turns?!”

BAXTER
*concentrating*
“Sorry, it’s really hard to navigate through a whole bunch of helicopters.”

DIANA
“How many are there?”

BAXTER
“Im too busy to count right now.”

Ben peels his face off of the floor

BEN
“Owwww, this is not my day at all.”

GABE
“Ben, it wasn’t your day ever since you picked up that blaster, so it’s a little late to be saying that now.”

BEN
“True…”

BAXTER
“Shoot, we have pursuers.”

DIANA
“On it!”

Diana grabs the blaster and yanks open the door to Gabe and Ben’s bedroom. She throws open the window and swiftly shoots at the helicopter chasing after them. The bullet hits the front where the engine would be and the helicopter starts crashing down. Ben peers in behind her.

BEN
“Man, good aim.”

DIANA
“Thanks.”

She turns back to Baxter

DIANA
“I think we’ve shaken them off!”

BAXTER
*sighs*
“Think so too. We’ll soon to be leaving B-832 then, with, hopefully. no more interruptions.”

BEN
“What now?”

DIANA
“I guess I can let you guys chill for a bit before I yell at you, now shoo while I go over all the PTSD you’ve probably given me.”

She turns to Trevor, who’s lying face first on the couch.

DIANA
“And could you sulk somewhere else? The bathroom perhaps?”

TREVOR
“You’re kicking me off my own bed?”

DIANA
“Yep.”

INT. THE SHIP (Ben and Gabe’s room) - NIGHT

Ben and Gabe are both silently chilling in their beds, Bens studying a book on biology and Gabe is staring at the ceiling, contemplating his life decisons.

GABE
“So…how much trouble do you think we’re in?”

Ben peers over the side of the bunk bed to look at Gabe.

BEN
“I…don’t know, id prefer to just forget this happened in the first place.”

GABE
“Yeah, but we cant, only alternative would be to run away and it seems we might already be on the run so thats not an option.”

BEN
“Good point.”

Static starts coming from the intercom.

BAXTER (O.S)
“Crew meeting again, good luck.”

Gabe grabs the intercom

GABE
“Thanks.”

BEN
“We’ll need it.”

Ben opens the door to find Diana setting up a whiteboard in the middle of the living room.

DIANA
“One moment while I get this thing set up.”

She flips the board to reveal a chart with the other’s names on it.

TREVOR
“Whats that?”

DIANA
*shes saying most of everything in this fake-happy voice and she sounds like shes on her last straw*
“You’ll see, so your probably wondering what we’re going to do and whether we’re outlaws or not. And, after taking a quick moment to look through the MUPD’s laws, you guys have MANAGED to accumulate a WHOLE BUNCH of crimes over the past couple hours.”

She grabs the marker and starts jotting down crimes underneath each of their names, their eyes widens as she adds more and more until she’s finally finished.

DIANA
“There! You see that? Thats JUST how much chaos you’ve caused!”

GABE
“Wow…thats—thats a whole lot. How much jail time is that exactly?”

Diana gives a small laugh and returns to the board, doing some quick math.

DIANA
“So apparently, ANY laws broken on an un-enlightened planet are treated as regular MUPD laws and are added to your file! So those laws broken plus the other non b-832 laws means you guys may be serving…”

She finishes the last number and turns back to them.

DIANA
“(at the moment my friends reviewing the amount but shes busy and I do neeed to get the script out so leave this blank for now) total years of jail time!”

Gabe chokes on his own spit at the words and starts coughing, Ben is just in utter shock and Trevor looks like he might puke.

DIANA
“So, to answer any of your not-yet-asked questions, yes, we are FOR SURE outlaws.”

Gabe regains his composure after his coughing fit and looks up in despair at Diana

GABE
“What are we going to do?! I don’t want to be an outlaw!”

DIANA
“Well, you should’ve thought of that before you handed the blaster to Ben, anyways, we obviously cant go back to Wonderwhat seeing as we’ll probably be apprehended on sight, sooooo…”

Diana pulls out the journal from her pocket.

DIANA
“How ‘bout we go on a space trip?”

INT. THE MUPD SECTOR 78 - NIGHT

The scene opens up to a view of the MUPD station, people are typing at their desks, the sound of papers being printed are in the background, and there’s a long line of bored people to the coffee machine. Gidgets sitting at her desk, typing down something on the computer and drinking her coffee. The phone on her desk rings and she sighs, grabbing it.

GIDGET
*sighs*
“Yes?”

RANDO ON THE PHONE (O.S)
“We’ve got a problem, over on B-832.”

GIDGET
*frustrated*
“What seems to be the trouble? Another missing license plate? Thats the most trouble we ever get over here either way.”

RANDO ON THE PHONE (O.S)
“Hah, I wish, it’s much more than that. Sending over a copy of the newspaper right now.”

A ding comes from the computer and a notification that reads “new email” pops up. Gidget clicks on it and it pulls up a newsletter with the headline “Aliens are real, and they don’t seek peace.”

GIDGET
*uninterested*
“It’s probably just another false report, the B-832 locals are always claiming they’ve seen “aliens” ironically, it’s usually not even a non-local who didn’t do very well covering up their traces.

RANDO ON THE PHONE (O.S)
“Well, if you zoom in closer on some of the photos, they have evidence on their claims this time.”

Gidget zooms up on the image which displays a broad picture of wreckage in the museum, a broken pterodactyl model on top of a smashed stegosaurus model.

GIDGET
“They probably are just blaming a terrorist attack on aliens, I’ve seen it before.”

RANDO ON THE PHONE (O.S)
“No, you’re not getting it, we have hard evidence that, this time, it was actually a non-local.”

Another ding comes from the computer and Gidget pulls up another picture, but you cant see it at the angle it’s at. She scans it for a moment, confused but then disgusted.

GIDGET
“…what else does the report say?”

The camera angle switches to a view of the MUPD Sector 78 building, a floating structure in the middle of space with two ships tethered to the side. A moment of silence passes before its broken by Gidgets shout.

GIDGET (O.C)
“THEY DID WHAT?!”

End of Episode 1 what a glorious moment :,)

What does (O.C) , (V.O) and (O.S) mean? Does it mean we have to say the lines in a certain way?

(O.C) means off camera but still in the room, (O.S) means off screen but their not in the room, so like a phone. I have those two their for just animating, so dont worry about them for lines. (V.O) means voice over and that wont affect how you say it, it just means that the character speaking is essentially narrating it
