INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY
JIM walks into the room, and sees his wife SHARI standing in front of the big screen tv,
she's crying. We see the walls of the room lined with framed posters of their favorite movies.
Jim walks up to Shari and asks her questions.
JIM
Why are you crying? Are you going to be, ok? What's wrong?
SHARI
(Tears rolling down her cheek)
We're going to miss the movie tonight.
JIM
What?
Shari points at the tv, Jim pays attention to the breaking news being displayed.
A disheartened news cast announce a nuclear explosion has been detected in Ukraine, and
may have set off an unstoppable protocol of all out nuclear war, and the President of the United
States will be speaking to the Nation in a few minutes. Jim laughs, and rushes to grab the tv remote.
JIM
(Flips through tv channels)
Bad timing to do this prank, Avengers: Secret Wars
starts in an hour. I've seen this joke on YouTube. Why would you do this
now? Where's the hidden camera? Ok not funny anymore.
Wow this is a well put together joke, it's on every channel.

AERIAL SHOT.
EXT. RED BULL GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS - DAY
ZOOM in to the front of the building where we see META, and GLORY standing at the door.
ANGLE ON their faces, they pound on the door. Meta takes off his backpack, and helps Glory take
off hers then sets it on the ground. PAN to men with assault rifles rushing to their point of location.
Meta, and Glory raise their hands in submission.
META
Whoa! Whoa! Easy, easy, we're not a threat.
Meta, and Glory are violently taken down. CLOSE ON fancy shoes walking into frame near
both trespassers face still smashed on the ground. CAGE squats down to get closer.
CAGE
Who are you, and how did you get this far without dying?
META
Nicolas Cage? Oh my god thanks for not killing us, but we've come a
long way to get here, and we heard...
CAGE
Just call me Nic. Wait you look familiar. You're that skateboard kid on
the Taco Bell commercial.
META
Yeah, that's me, I rode up through the drive thru on a skateboard.
CAGE
Let'em up. You two look a little sick with radiation poisoning. Hard core
fans or what?
META
There were 11 of us when we first set out. After the.... We eventually
found each other because of our common interest, to search for, and watch
the last movie.
CAGE
Avengers 5? Who told you a copy was here?
GLORY
My dad before he died of the sickness.
CAGE
And who might that be?
META
Mr. Cage, we've come a long way, and lost friends to horrible things
along the way. We're starving, and half dead, please. (beat) Can we
come in, and explain everything, the whole story?
Glory starts to cry uncontrollably.
CAGE
Ok.
