FADE IN:

           1   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - LIVING ROOM -- EVENING (ANIMATED 
               NIGHTMARE)

               MERV SCHMIDT, mid 60's, a burly man's man, and his wife, 
               SHIRLEY, late 50's, grandmotherly, wave out the front door.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Call when you get to the base.

                                   MERV
                         Not collect!

               We hear the engine putter of a VW Bus drive off.  Merv shouts 
               for joy.  In a whirlwind, he slams a few doors shut.  Then 
               secures a large variety of locks and bolts.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Mervin Lysander Schmidt!  What's 
                         gotten into you?

                                   MERV
                         Remember this?

               He spins around and whips open a dusty, old, tattered 
               lingerie, uncovering A GROUP OF MOTHS, who flee for their 
               lives.

                                   SCARED MOTH
                         We've been discovered!  It's every 
                         moth for themselves!

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Oh my!  I haven't seen that 
                         since...

                                   MERV
                         Our honeymoon?  It's even hotter 
                         than I remembered.

               He growls sexually.  Grabs Shirley and pulls her close.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Why, Merv!?  What took you so 
                         long?

                                   MERV
                         We had kids.  Now git!

               He gives her a peck on the lips.  Then playfully slaps her 
               butt.  Shirley giggles as she floats down the hall.  Merv 
               scampers out the back door.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                         2.


           2   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - MASTER BEDROOM (ANIMATED)

               RRRRRIP!  Shirley squeezes into the old lingerie.  Hops on 
               the bed.  Looks at the pictures of the kids (Hunter, the 
               oldest son, Leah, the only daughter, and Shane, the youngest) 
               that surround the room at various stages of their lives.  
               All of which seem to be "watching" her.

           3   INT. OLD MOTORHOME (ANIMATED)

               Merv's sanctuary from the kids.  Complete with rifle racks, 
               a sofa bed, a portable TV, and his prized hunting trophies:  
               BUCK - a deer; SKITSO - a raccoon; and HOPPY - a jack rabbit.

               Merv opens a cabinet door.  HASAKAMI, Merv's Japanese boss, 
               pops out and tries to hand him a pink slip.  Merv slams the 
               door shut.  Opens another.  Snatches out a bottle of bubbly, 
               a couple glasses, and an ice bucket.  He opens a small fridge, 
               and in a flurry digs out some whipped cream, maraschino 
               cherries, and chocolate syrup.

                                   HOPPY
                         Whoa!  The kids must be gone cause 
                         it looks like Mervie's fixin' to 
                         get some tonight.

                                   SKITSO
                         Get some what, Hoppy?  Huh?  Get 
                         some what?

                                   HOPPY
                         Some tail, Skits.

                                   BUCK
                         I miss my tail.

                                   HOPPY
                         Not a real tail, Buck!  Some tail.

               Merv scurries out.

           4   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - MASTER BEDROOM (ANIMATED)

               Every picture is turned around.  Shirley sprays the room and 
               herself with perfume.  Then strikes a sexy pose on the bed.

                                   MERV (O.S.)
                         Shirley!  SHIRLEY!!!

               Ticked, she climbs out of bed.

           5   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - LIVING ROOM (ANIMATED)

               Shirley enters in a huff.  Notices Merv, stripped down to 
               his boxers... the fireplace... the glasses of bubbly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                         3.


                                   SHIRLEY
                         Out here?  What if?

                                   MERV
                         They're all gone, baby!  And I'm 
                         firing on all cylinders.

               He pops a couple of Viagra.  His boxers move like an engine 
               reving up.  They get frisky under the covers when the 
               TELEPHONE RINGS.  Shirley motions towards it.  Merv knocks 
               it off the hook, but it CONTINUES TO RING. The many locks, 
               unlock.  The doors fling open.  In comes HUNTER, LEAH and 
               her BLACK BOYFRIEND, followed by SHANE in Army fatigues.

                                   HUNTER
                         Hey dad!  You were right.  Doodling 
                         was a waste of time!

                                   LEAH
                         I've discovered true love.  So I 
                         dropped out of school.

                                   BLACK BOYFRIEND
                         What's the haps pops!?

                                   SHANE
                         Man, can you believe they wanted 
                         to take away my pot?

               Merv is speechless.  From the bathroom comes a voice...

                                   LESTER (O.S.)
                         Shirley!  Come wipe my ass!

               YODA, Lester's teacup Chihuahua, runs in and humps Merv's 
               leg.  He looks back at Shirley, who has turned into Hasakami.

                                   HASAKAMI
                         Hey Schidt!  Consider self raid 
                         off.

               He staples a pink slip to Merv's hand.  Merv SCREAMS.  His 
               uvula jiggles like Jell-o as he shoots out of a canon into a 
               huge cast iron fan, splatting onto the screen, WHEN SCHMIDT 
               HITS THE FAN, in blood and body parts.

           6   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - MASTER BEDROOM -- MORNING (PRESENT)

               SUPERIMPOSE: R-Day (Retirement Day) 

               The real MERV, who looks a lot like the cartoon, pops up in 
               a cold sweat.  The TOILET FLUSHES.  SHANE, his twenty-one 
               year old slacker of a son, emerges.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                         4.


                                   MERV
                         What the hell are you doing in my 
                         bathroom?

                                   SHANE
                         Don't burst a vein, Pops.  Ours 
                         is clogged.  You might want to 
                         get on it before it festers.

                                   MERV
                         And why couldn't you fix it?

                                   SHANE
                         Yeh.  I don't do that kinda pot.

               He saunters out.  Merv grumbles as he climbs out of bed, 
               makes his way to the bathroom, and goes in.

                                   MERV
                         Lousy do-nothing, money-sucking...  
                         What I wouldn't give to go back 
                         in time and buy that condom.  
                         Gees-oh-Pete!  Who the hell died 
                         in here?

           7   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN

               HUNTER, the oldest son in his late twenties, an animator, 
               puts the finishing touches on a drawing of the uvula.  LEAH, 
               the only daughter in her mid twenties, wears a veil as she 
               feeds her Iranian Muslim boyfriend, AHMAD, while sitting on 
               his lap.  SHIRLEY, a dead ringer from the cartoon, puts eggs, 
               hashbrowns, bacon, and sausage in a blender.  She picks up 
               the phone and hears...

                                   PHONE SEX OPERATOR (V.O.)
                         Ooooo!  Faster!  Harder!  Oh, oh!

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Dad, get off the phone and come 
                         eat your breakfast.

               She hits the liquefy button on the blender.

           8   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - LESTER'S BEDROOM

               LESTER, Shirley's eighty year-old cuss of a father, works 
               his penis pump as fast as he can with one hand while holding 
               the phone with the other.

                                   LESTER
                         Oh hell!

               He hangs up the phone.  The penis pump deflates.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                         5.


           9   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN -- MOMENTS LATER

               Shirley picks up the phone and hits a speed dial button.  
               She gets a busy tone.  Shane enters.

                                   SHANE
                         Hey Mom, I need some funds.  The 
                         bus ran out of juice.
                              (sniffing the air)
                         Cool!  Sticky buns.

               He goes to open the oven when WHACK!  Shirley slaps his hands.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Those are for your father.  Sit 
                         down and have some breakfast.

                                   SHANE
                         Okay!  Okay!

               He sits down as Shirley puts a breakfast plate in front of 
               him. She hits the re-dial button on the phone.  

                                   SHIRLEY
                              (to phone)
                         Hi mother Schmidt!  Thanks for 
                         helping out last night at Merv's 
                         surprise party.

               Lester slowly walks in and sits at the table.

                                   HUNTER
                         Good morning, Gramps!

                                   LESTER
                         Would be if I could keep my damn 
                         prick up!

                                   SHIRLEY
                              (to phone)
                         I think so too.  I've never seen 
                         him so surprised!

               While on the phone she serves Lester his "Cup-O-Breakfast," 
               complete with silly straw.  A HORN HONKS outside.

                                   HUNTER
                         Whelp!  That's my ride.

               He folds up the portfolio and takes a sip of his cappuccino.

                                                                         6.


                                   HUNTER (CONT'D)
                         Later Leah.  
                              (to Leah's stomach)
                         Nephew Muhammad.  
                              (to Ahmad)
                         Ahmad, welcome to the family.

                                   LEAH
                         Knock 'em dead.

                                   AHMAD
                         Yes.  Be knocking them dead.  
                         That is good thing?

                                   HUNTER
                         See ya Shane.  Gramps.

                                   SHANE
                         Later bro.

                                   LESTER
                         Pick me up one of them Frisco 
                         whores.  One with big tits!

                                   HUNTER
                         Consider it done.  Can't guarantee 
                         it'll be a woman.  See ya M!

               He gives Shirley a kiss on the cheek. 

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Hold on Dot!  Hunter's leaving.  
                         Grandma Schmidt says bye.

                                   HUNTER
                              (shouts to phone)
                         Bye Grams!

               Hunter walks towards the front door.  Shirley kisses him 
               goodbye.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Good luck sweetie!  Call when you 
                         get there.

                                   MERV (O.S.)
                         Not collect!  And don't think I 
                         won't get even for your part in 
                         that prank.

                                   HUNTER
                         I love you too, Pops!

               He exits.

          10   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - BATHROOM

               Merv plunges away on the toilet.

                         Miserable prankster kids.

               Something white pops out flinging Merv to the back wall.

                         For the love of...! 

          11   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN -- MOMENTS LATER

               Merv trudges in with a wet Adult Diaper and plunger.

                                   MERV
                         Thanks a lot Lester.  You and 
                         your damn diapers.  I want him 
                         out today.  You hear me Shirl?

               He turns around to see Shirley on the phone.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         I swear that phone's sprouted 
                         roots!

                                   SHIRLEY
                         I'm just making sure your mother 
                         got home okay.

                                   MERV
                         Well if she answered the phone.  
                         I'd say she made it.

               Merv tosses the wet diaper in the trash.  Shane gets up and 
               heads for the backdoor.

                                   SHANE
                         Thanks mom.  Night.

                                   MERV
                         Good-night?  Sure.  Why not?  You 
                         sleep all day while regular people 
                         work.  That seems fair.  Where'd 
                         you go after the party?

          12   INT. SHANE'S VW BUS/EXT. STREET/THEATER -- NIGHT (FLASHBACK)

               TIMEWARP DAY: Last Night 

               The bus is saturated in a smoky haze.  Shane drives as his 
               two slacker friends, DYLAN & LANCE, smoke pot.  Ahmad sits 
               in the back praying to Allah with his legs crossed.

                                   SHANE, DYLAN & LANCE
                         Mime Hunt!

               A MIME performs in front of a theater as people pass by.  

               Lance takes a paintball gun out from under the seat and aims 
               it out the window.

                                   SHANE
                         Target locked?

                                   LANCE
                         Target locked.

                                   AHMAD
                         Oh the shapes!  The colors!  It's 
                         Allah in the sky, my man!

                                   DYLAN
                         It's the contact effect.  He's in 
                         hyperspeed, man!

                                   SHANE
                         FIRE!!! 

               Lance pulls the trigger.  WAP!

                                   MIME
                         Ouch!

               They laugh as Shane speeds off.  The Mime falls dramatically 
               to the ground.

                                   DYLAN
                         Man, a Mime is a fabulous thing 
                         to waste!

          13   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN -- MORNING (PRESENT)

               Shane exits out the back door.

                                   MERV
                         I'm talking to you!  See that?  
                         Always walking away.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         I wonder where he gets it from?

                                   MERV
                         Ahmad?  You went with him... 

               He sits down at the head of the table and notices Leah and 
               Ahmad connected at the lips under Leah's veil.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         Oh gees!  Take it to your room.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Oh Merv!  It's trash day!  It 
                         needs to be taken out to the curb.

                                   MERV
                         What'd they do?  Make a national 
                         holiday out of the event?  Trash 
                         Day.  You know... The weekly 
                         holiday where we honor the 
                         invention of trash.

               He gets back up as Shirley goes back to her phone call.

                                   SHIRLEY
                              (to phone)
                         Oh, he's in one of his moods, 
                         again.

                                   MERV
                         If it's a mood... You, your old 
                         man, and these kids of yours put 
                         me in it.

               He grabs the trash bag and stomps out the back door.

                                   SHIRLEY
                              (to phone)
                         I hope he's not like this after 
                         he retires! 

          14   EXT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - FRONT YARD -- MOMENTS LATER

               Merv struggles with the big trash can.  JONAS, the next door 
               neighbor, a black man in his late fifties, warms up his car.

                                   JONAS
                         Hey Schmidt!  Last I checked we 
                         didn't live in no damn trailer 
                         park.

                                   MERV
                         Your black ass'll be long dead 
                         before that motorhome moves an 
                         inch.

               The trash can falls over and spills.  Trash juice gets all 
               over him.  He cusses up a storm.

                                   JONAS
                         Stupid redneck.

          15   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN -- MOMENTS LATER

               Smoke seeps out of the oven.  Leah and Ahmad are still locked 
               at the lips.  Shirley talks on the phone as she stuffs 
               sweepstakes entry forms into their appropriate envelopes.  
               Lester slurps his breakfast.  Merv trounces in covered with 
               trash juice.

                                   MERV
                         For the love of Pete, Shirl!  I 
                         know money might be hard to come 
                         by thanks to last night.  But 
                         burning the whole damn house down?

               Shirley notices the smoke.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         The buns!  Gotta go!  I'll have 
                         Merv bring your dehydrator over.

               She hangs up the phone.  Merv blocks her way to the oven.

                                   MERV
                         I don't know how the house could 
                         of burnt down.  

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Out of my way!

               She pushes Merv to the side, turns off the oven, and takes 
               out the burnt sticky bun remnants.

                                   MERV
                         It couldn't have been because my 
                         wife was yapping on the phone and 
                         entering worthless sweepstakes, 
                         and my daughter was making out 
                         with her boyfriend.

                                   AHMAD & LEAH
                         Fiancé! 

                                   MERV
                         Whatever.

                                                                        11.


                                   SHIRLEY
                         I enter those sweepstakes for the 
                         fun of it.  And the last time I 
                         checked, I live here too.  And 
                         I'll talk on the phone when I 
                         want to who ever I want.

               She puts a spatula with a burnt sticky bun in Merv's face. 

                                   SHIRLEY (CONT'D)
                         Do you want your retirement day 
                         sticky bun or not? 

                                   MERV
                         I'll pass.  Where's your keys?

                                   LEAH
                         You can't take the wagon, daddy.  
                         Ahmad and I are taking it to my 
                         first doctor's appointment.

                                   AHMAD
                         Correction!  Our first doctor's 
                         appointment.

               They kiss again. 

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Then I have to take it to find a 
                         retirement home for my dad.

                                   LESTER
                         Retirement home my ass.  They're 
                         more like death camps that reek 
                         like old people.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Then to Animal Control... 

                                   MERV
                         I get the picture!  I'll take 
                         Shane's.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         He ran out of gas last night.

                                   MERV
                         That's just great!  They wreck 
                         'Ol Gertie and I get the shaft.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Why don't you call Blitz or Trigg?

                         Can't.  They're on a separate 
                         mission.

          16   INT. THURSTIES

               Merv's friends, TRIGG, late 40's, a laid-off autoworker, and 

               BLITZ, a freelance tow truck driver, sing it up in a sleepy, 
               drunken stupor with HASAKAMI, Merv's Japanese boss.

          17   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN

                                   MERV
                         It's my last day of work!  Our 
                         financial future depends on me 
                         getting through this day!  Now... 
                         how the hell am I supposed to get 
                         there?

          18   INT. JONAS' CAR/EXT. STREET -- MOMENTS LATER

               A grumpy Merv sits next to Jonas, who sways and sings along 
               to James Brown's "Say It Loud".  Merv changes the station.

                                   JONAS
                         Hey, hey, hey!  Don't be changing 
                         a bruthas tunes while he's in a 
                         groove!

               He turns it back using a preset button.

                                   JONAS (CONT'D)
                         This station ain't movin' for 
                         nobody.  Especially no father of 
                         a jungle fevered son.

                                   MERV
                         Jungle fever!  My son was entrapped

                                   JONAS
                         Voodoo slut!?

          19   INT. VOODOO HUT -- MIDNIGHT (ANIMATED)

               Complete with potions, voodoo dolls, charms, and shrunken 
               heads.  CHARLOTTE, Jonas' twenty-something daughter in Voodoo 
               Garb, sprinkles a concoction on Hunter, who struggles to get 
               up, but can't as he's secured to a bamboo bed by ropes.  The 
               potion kicks in.  Hunter relaxes and gives in to Charlotte.

                         My daughter doesn't need to put 
                         no spell on no Cracker.  It was 
                         the persuasive talk of the White 
                         Devil that lured the innocent 
                         African Princess by lies.

                         What does it matter?  They're on 
                         their way back to Fag Francisco.

          21   INT. AIRPLANE

               Hunter puts the bags in the overhead compartment.  Sits down 
               next to Charlotte.

                                   HUNTER
                         Punch me.

                                   CHARLOTTE
                         What?

                                   HUNTER
                         You heard me.  Right in the puss. 

                                   CHARLOTTE
                         Honey, you do not want me to punch 
                         you. 

                                   HUNTER
                         Come on!  I just want to make 
                         sure I'm not dreamin'.

                                   CHARLOTTE
                         And mess up that cute smile!  
                         Trust me you're not dreaming.

                         make us both very happy for a 
                         very long time.

               They look longingly into each others eyes. 

                                   HUNTER
                         It was a pretty crazy week.  Having 
                         to face our dads and all.  I'm 
                         just glad we didn't let them get 
                         between us.

               Merv lounges in his chair watching TV.  Shirley sits on the 
               couch doing needlepoint.  Hunter enters, scoops up the keys 
               to 'Ol Gertie, and heads towards the door. 

                                   MERV
                         Hey, hey, hey!  Hold on there 
                         flash.  Where the hell do you 
                         think you're going?

                                   HUNTER
                         Mom said I could use 'Ol Gertie 
                         for my date tonight.

                                   MERV
                         You've got a date!?  It's a girl, 
                         right?

                                   HUNTER
                         Yes.  I think you'd like her.  
                         She's the girl next door type.

                                   MERV
                         Then by all means... Go! 

                                   HUNTER
                         Thanks pop!  Don't wait up.

               He takes off out the front door.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Have fun with Charlotte.

                                   MERV
                         Charlotte?  Jonas' Charlotte?  
                         She is the girl next door!  Put 
                         some papers down on the seat first.

          23   INT. JONAS' HOUSE - LIVING ROOM -- MOMENTS LATER

               Hunter is at the door with Jonas.  He looks around the place.

                                   JONAS
                         Uh-uh!  I forbid you to go out 
                         with this white spawn of Satan.

               Charlotte comes up to the door.

                                   CHARLOTTE
                         He's perfectly harmless, dad.

                                   JONAS
                         I don't know.  The crumbs don't 
                         fall far from the Saltine!

               WINNIE, Jonas' fifty year-old wife, enters.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        15.


                                   WINNIE
                         Jonas!  Leave the boy alone.

                                   JONAS
                         How many times do I have to tell 
                         you?  The blacker the berry the 
                         sweeter the juice.

                                   WINNIE
                         I said leave them alone!  Have 
                         fun you two.

               Charlotte takes off with Hunter.

                                   HUNTER
                              (to Charlotte)
                         I didn't see any spears. 

                                   JONAS
                         What did he say?  Just remember I 
                         have some pretty good friends.  
                         Misters Smith & Wesson.  And Wesson 
                         ain't the cooking oil!

          24   EXT. MOVIE THEATER -- LATER

               Hunter and Charlotte leave a movie theater holding each other 
               and laughing uncontrollably.  The marquee reads "TITANIC".

          25   INT. AIRPLANE -- MORNING (PRESENT)

               Hunter and Charlotte move in for a kiss.

                                   POMPOUS ASS (O.S.)
                         Ahem!

               There standing above them is a POMPOUS ASS of a passenger.  
               They back off the kiss.

                                   POMPOUS ASS
                         I believe you're in my seat.

                                   CHARLOTTE
                         Would you mind switching seats?   
                         We'd really like to sit next to 
                         each other.

                                   POMPOUS ASS
                         Is it an aisle seat?

                                   HUNTER
                         Even better.  It's a window...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        16.


                                   POMPOUS ASS
                         Don't want it.  Window seats make 
                         me nauseous.

               Hunter stares at the Pompous Ass as he moves to his original 
               seat.  DISGRUNTLED PASSENGERS move for him. 

          26   INT. JONAS' CAR/EXT. FREEWAY -- LATE MORNING

               Jonas turns onto the freeway.  It's a virtual parking lot.

                                   MERV
                         Are you trying to make me late?  
                         If you would have let me check 
                         the traffic.  We could have avoided 
                         this parking lot.

                                   JONAS
                         Hey!  Who's behind the wheel?  
                         Sure don't look like no Honky.

                                   MERV
                         Just get off and take the side

                                   JONAS
                         Are you crazy?  A black man could 
                         get killed taking a white man's 
                         side streets.  Why are you in 
                         such a hurry to get to work?

                                   MERV
                         It's my last day!  And my boss is

               Merv sits at his desk with the phone to his ear.

                                   MERV

               He slams the phone down.  Glances up at the clock.  5:26pm.  
               He grabs some papers as he gets up.

          28   INT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS - HALLWAY

               Merv passes by CO-WORKERS winking and nodding.  He stops at 
               RALPH's cubicle, a nervous retiring friend in his sixties.

                                   MERV
                         Don't worry Ralph.  He ain't gonna 
                         get you.  I promise.

               He walks up to Hasakami's office as Hasakami exits with a 
               pink slip in hand.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         Hey, Kami.

                                   HASAKAMI
                         Not now Schidt.  Got matter.

                                   MERV
                         Why should I waste my time 
                         collecting a five dollar account?

                                   HASAKAMI
                         Every penny count.  You let them 
                         get away with five dollar.  They 
                         try fifty, then five hundred, 
                         then five thousand.  We nip in 
                         bud.

               He looks at the clock.  5:29 and thirty seconds.

                                   HASAKAMI (CONT'D)
                         No BS now.  Got matter.

               He makes his way around Merv, who follows him.

                                   MERV
                         But what about these other 
                         accounts?

                                   HASAKAMI
                         Collect, collect, collect!

               He walks towards Ralph's cubicle.  Merv still on his tail, 
               waves to Co-Workers for help.  The clock counts down... twenty 
               seconds until 5:30.  KIP, the Mail Clerk blocks Hasakami 
               with a rolling mail cart.

          29   INT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS - HALLWAY (ANIMATED)

               Hasakami does a karate chop breaking Kip's mail cart in half.

          30   INT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS - HALLWAY

               Ten seconds... MINA, a Co-Worker on a Rascal Cart blocks his 
               way pretending she is stuck.

          31   INT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS - HALLWAY (ANIMATED)

               Hasakami does an aerial somersault over Mina.

          32   INT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS - HALLWAY/RALPH'S CUBICLE

               Mina is successful of blocking Merv. 

               CO-WORKERS surround Ralph congratulating him.  One of them, 
               CLARK, holds a cake in his hands.

               Hasakami does a quick "Kung Fu" movie gasp.  He looks at the 
               clock.  Five... Four...

          33   INT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS - HALLWAY/RALPH'S CUBICLE (ANIMATED)

               Determined, Hasakami vaults himself over the crowd gathered 
               around Ralph.

          34   INT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS - HALLWAY/RALPH'S CUBICLE

               Just before Merv attempts to nudge him off track.  He bumps 
               into Clark.  The cake flies through the air.  Hasakami lands 
               on his feet in front of Ralph.  The cake lands on Merv.  

               Hasakami hands Ralph the pink slip.  The clock ticks down to 
               one...  He grins evilly, which elevates into an extremely 
               maniacal laugh that ECHOES into...

          35   INT. JONAS' CAR/EXT. FREEWAY -- LATE MORNING (PRESENT)

                                   JONAS
                         Man!  That's one bad ass boss.  
                         Gringos are stupid!  If you knew 
                         how he was... why do you stay 
                         there?

                         And throw away the chance of even 
                         getting a pension!?  Hell no!  
                         That sneaky Little Yellow Bastard 
                         has met his match.  I'm gonna 
                         beat that rice-shitter at his own 
                         game.  I will get my pension and 
                         my nightmare will not come true.

                         Last Saturday, I had just come 
                         home from Thursties...

                                                               TIMEWARP TO:

          36   EXT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - DRIVEWAY -- LATE NIGHT (FLASHBACK)

               TIMEWARP DAY: Last Saturday 

               GRUNGE MUSIC blasts from the garage.  Merv drives up in 'Ol 
               Gertie, his badly dented Ford pick-up truck that sticks into 
               gear, quickly backs up, lurches forward, then rumbles and 
               pings to a stop.  He lumbers out.

          37   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN

               The house vibrates from the music.  Shirley talks loudly on 
               the phone as she washes dishes. 

                                   SHIRLEY
                         He's been moodier than usual 
                         lately.  No joking.  Nothing.  I 
                         hope the party will cheer him up.

                                   MERV (O.S.)
                         Hey, Shirl!  I'm home!

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Gotta go, I'll call you later.

               She hangs up the phone and meets Merv as he goes down the

                                   MERV
                         I'm ready to shoot me the main

                         It's past eleven!

          39   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - BATHROOM

               Lester pisses in the sink.  Yoda falls into the toilet trying 
               to drink out of it.  

                                   MERV (O.S.)
                         No time better than the...

               He passes by.  Then backs up.

                                   MERV
                         What the hell!?

                                   SHIRLEY
                         It's only for a little while.

                                   MERV
                         It's never only for a little while!  
                         For the love of Pete!  He's pissing 
                         in the goddamn sink!

          40   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - BATHROOM/HALL (ANIMATED) 

               Yoda gets up covered in blue from the Tidy-Bowl Cake.  He 
               notices Merv's leg and hallucinating from the Tidy-Bowl Cake 
               envisions Merv's leg as a Beautiful FURRY BITCH.

                                   FURRY BITCH
                         Come get me, Stud.

               WHOOSH!  Like greased lighting, Yoda attaches himself to 
               Merv's leg and humps away.  Merv tries to shake him off.

          41   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - BATHROOM/HALL

                                   MERV
                         SON OF A!  Call your damn mutt 
                         off or I'll shoot him.

               Lester breaks wind.

                                   LESTER
                         That's just like your threats.  
                         Full of hot air.

                                   MERV
                         Damn it, Shirl!  Him or me?  Make 
                         your decision.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         I can't throw my dad out onto the 
                         streets!

                                   MERV
                         Fine.  You know where I'll be.  
                         Get off me damn it!

               He storms out with Yoda still humping away. 

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Dad!

          42   INT. JONAS' HOUSE - LIVING ROOM

               Music rips through the house.  Shaking it with every note.  
               Jonas gets out of bed, puts on his robe and slippers.

                                                                        21.

                         That hullabaloo has got to stop.  
                         One of us has got to give, Winnie.  
                         And it's not gonna be me.

                                   WINNIE
                         They're just kids.  Let them have 
                         their fun.

                         Honky Fun Time's over at ten!

          43   EXT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - BACKYARD -- MOMENTS LATER

               The music continues as Merv heads straight for the old 
               motorhome.  Yoda still humping away.  Jonas comes out.

                                   JONAS
                         Better tell that boy of yours 
                         it's too late to be making all 
                         that racket!

                                   MERV
                         You tell him!  No melon muncher's 
                         telling me what to do!

          44   EXT. SCHMIDT HOUSE/JONAS' HOUSE - BACKYARDS (ANIMATED) 

               Merv pries Yoda off and rushes past a pen that holds J.T., a 
               WILD TURKEY, and into the old motorhome slamming the door 
               shut.  Yoda tries to get in by jumping on the door.  But 
               then spots Jonas, who he envisions as a burglar dressed in 
               black and lets loose a relentless barking attack.

                                   JONAS
                         This mutt's gettin' on my nerves, 
                         Schmidt.  If you don't put a stop 
                         to it I'm calling Animal Control.

                         You're getting on my nerves.  Who 
                         am I supposed to call for that?

                                   JONAS
                         You ain't heard the last of this

                         Shut the hell up, or I'll drop

          46   INT. OLD MOTORHOME -- MOMENTS LATER (ANIMATED)

               Merv grabs his shotgun and loads in a bunch of buckshot.  
               Buck, Hoppy, and Skitso look on.

                                   SKITSO
                         Looks like we're about to get 
                         some company.

                                   HOPPY
                         Don't be stupid.  We're talkin'

                         Shucks.  I was looking forward to 
                         some new faces.

          47   EXT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - BACKYARD -- MOMENTS LATER (ANIMATED)

               In the cross-hairs of a rifle's sights, J.T. lounges in a 
               chair sipping lemonade.

          48   INT. JONAS' HOUSE - MASTER BEDROOM

               BANG!  Jonas, who's getting back in bed with Winnie, hits 
               the floor.  Charlotte bursts in.

                                   WINNIE & CHARLOTTE
                         What was that?

                         Charlotte?  When did you get here?

                                   CHARLOTTE
                         A few minutes ago.

                         bread eatin'...

               Low to the ground, he scrambles to his night stand.  Takes 
               out a pistol.

                                   WINNIE
                         Don't do it Jonas.  It's just 
                         going to lead to trouble.

                                   JONAS
                         If it's trouble.  He's already 
                         led me there.

               Merv, in hunting attire, carries on like a kid at Christmas.  
               J.T. flops around behind him.

                                   J.T.
                         He shot me!  That mutha stuffa

               Shirley and Hunter run out as Jonas bursts out of his house.

               Charlotte and Winnie come out of the house.

          51   EXT. SCHMIDT HOUSE/JONAS' HOUSE - BACKYARDS (ANIMATED) 

               Merv and Jonas get into a huge name-slinging fight at the 
               fence.  Hunter rushes up to J.T. and tries to help.  He scoops 
               J.T. up in his arms.

                                   HUNTER
                         Fear not.  I'm a veghead.

               Hunter rushes by the squabbling Merv and Jonas with J.T.  
               Charlotte follows him.

                         with that bird?  Hunter!

               Jonas chuckles.  Merv raises his shotgun towards Hunter.  
               Shirley pushes the barrel up.

               BAM!  Jonas ducks as a portion of his house is blown off.

                                   JONAS
                         Alright!  You're payin' for that

               Hunter puts J.T. in 'Ol Gertie.  Gets in.  Flips down the 
               visor.  The spare keys fall in his lap.  He starts it up.  
               Charlotte appears at the passenger window.

                         on a rescue mission.

               Charlotte hops in as he yanks the truck in gear and screeches 
               out of the driveway as Merv rushes out followed by Shirley.

                                   MERV
                         Get back here boy.  Don't you 
                         leave with my Sunday dinner!

               Hunter yanks the truck into drive.  Turns the headlights on, 
               and takes off as Jonas and Winnie come out in time to watch 
               'Ol Gertie drive down the street.

                                   JONAS
                         Hey, Schmidt!  I'll open my window 
                         and let you smell MY turkey.

                         and pop it open.

               Merv and Jonas motion towards each other, but are stopped by 
               their wives.

                                   WINNIE
                         There will be none of that!  See

                         Night Winnie.  I'll call you.

               Winnie escorts Jonas into the house.

               Jonas laughs out loud.

                         Now that was humor.  It also 
                         reminds me... You still owe me

               (FLASHBACK)(ANIMATED)

               TIMEWARP DAY: Last Sunday 

               The Master Bedroom door opens.  Merv steps out of his room 
               and falls to the floor with a THUD!

                                   MERV
                         What the...

               He comes face to face with the bandaged J.T.

                                   J.T.
                         You're in my sights now!  How'd 
                         you like the peckin' of a lifetime?

                         SHIRLEY!!!

               Merv pops up and rushes towards the kitchen passing Lester's 
               room where Yoda spots J.T. and chases him into the Living 
               Room as Merv ducks into the

          57   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN

               Merv picks himself up to find Shirley on the phone as she 
               cooks breakfast.  Hunter doodles at the table.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Hope everything works out in Vegas.  

                         Ba-Bye.

               She hangs up the phone.

                                   MERV
                         Why is my original Sunday dinner 
                         in the house?

                                   SHIRLEY
                         The vet said we had to keep it 
                         indoors until its wound healed.

               She puts Merv's breakfast at his spot at the head of the 
               table by his special coffee mug.  He picks it up.

                                   MERV
                         How long is that gonna take?

                                   HUNTER
                         A week or two.  They weren't sure.

                         Well if it ain't Father Theresa.  
                         Savior to all that is turkey.  I 
                         want that bird outta my sight.

               He takes a sip of the coffee and spews it out.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         What the hell!  You burnt the 
                         coffee!

                                   HUNTER
                         No she didn't.  It's a Cappuccino.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Hunter says they're very popular 
                         in San Francisco.

                                   MERV
                         Well, if they're as popular as 
                         rescuing turkey dinners I don't 
                         want any part of it.  Get me a 
                         regular cup of Joe.

                                   HUNTER
                         You didn't need to kill another 
                         turkey.  There are tons of frozen 
                         corpses at the market that just 
                         get thrown away.

                                   MERV
                         Who the hell cares?  They're 
                         turkeys.  They're why freezers 
                         were invented!

          58   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN (ANIMATED)

               Yoda chases J.T. into the kitchen.  Hunter snatches him up 
               just before Yoda gets to him.  Yoda crashes into the cabinets.  
               Pots and pans fly everywhere.

          59   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN

                                   HUNTER
                         You don't want freezer burn do 
                         ya, J.T.?  I'll put him in the 
                         attic.

               They exit as Lester limps in.

                                   MERV
                         This is just great, Shirl!  It's 
                         like a slap in the face.  Only it 
                         keeps slapping!

                         I'd like to punch you in the face.

               Yoda jumps up on the table and chows down on Merv's breakfast.

                                   MERV
                         How many times do I have to tell 
                         you?  Keep this rat dog off my 
                         table!

               He raises his hand and let her rips...

          60   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN (ANIMATED) 

               KA-POW!  Yoda flies through the air.  SPLAT!  He hits the 
               wall and slides down cursing in Spanish.

                                   YODA
                         Ay Chihuahua!  Not again!

                                   LESTER
                         Don't slap him like a bitch!

                                   MERV
                         I want them out TODAY!

               Merv grabs a new plate of food and storms into the

          62   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - LIVING ROOM

               He sits down and realizes the remote control is on the TV 
               set.  He gets up.  Snatches the remote, and sits back down 
               before turning it on.  A football pregame show is on.  He 
               relaxes and gets comfortable in his chair.  Looks up to watch 
               the game and there stands Shirley, with the "I Need You To 
               Do Some Chores" look on her face he knows so well.

                                   MERV
                         Uh, uh.  I'm already wedged in 
                         and ready to watch the game.  
                         Nothing you can say can pry my 
                         ass outta this chair.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Carol called.  She's going to 
                         Vegas with Charlie to one of those 
                         employment seminars.  Your mother 
                         didn't want to go, so I invited 
                         her to stay with us.  You need to 
                         pick her up.

          63   INT. 'OL GERTIE -- LATER

               Merv drives as his mother, DOROTHY, late eighties, pushes an 
               urn in his face.

                                   DOROTHY
                         Give your father a hug.

                                   MERV
                         Mom!

                                   DOROTHY
                         Why you ungrateful... rotten...

               Merv complies.

                                   DOROTHY (CONT'D)
                         That's a good boy.

               She puts the urn on the dash.

                                   DOROTHY (CONT'D)
                         I brought the dehydrator.  I know 
                         how you all love my Muskrat jerky.

                         Darn it!  We're fresh out of...

               The truck bounces.  Merv, Dorothy, and the Urn pop up.  Ashes 
               fly everywhere.

                         MERV (CONT'D)
                 For the Love of Pete!

                                                       DOROTHY
                                               Oh joy!

               Merv screeches to a halt. 

                                   DOROTHY (CONT'D)
                         Oh dear.  Is it a flat?

                                   MERV
                         Nope.  But with my luck...

          64   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - LIVING ROOM -- LATER

               Merv enters with a load of suitcases and bags.  Shane watches 
               the football game on TV.

                                   MERV
                         Shane.  Get the muskrat outta 'Ol

                         You gonna stuff it too, Pops?

                                   MERV
                         Just go get it, boy.

               He drops the luggage and makes a bee-line for the TV as Shane 
               heads for the door.  Dorothy enters with the urn and food 
               dehydrator.

                                   DOROTHY
                         Hi kiddo!  Give your Grams a 
                         smooch.

               Shane complies as she puts a twenty dollar bill in his hand.

                                   SHANE
                         Thanks Grams!  How ya doin' Gramps?

                                   DOROTHY
                         Not too good.  Your father's 
                         driving cost him an arm and quite 
                         possibly a leg.

               Hunter enters as Shane exits.

                                   HUNTER
                         Well if it isn't my funny grandma!

                                   DOROTHY
                         In the flesh.

               Hunter gives her a big hug and a kiss.

                         How was your trip?

                                   DOROTHY
                         Your father ran over a muskrat.  
                         Scared me so much I had an 
                         accident.  Be a dear and put your 
                         grandpa somewhere safe.

               Hunter takes the urn as Shirley enters.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Mother Schmidt, how lovely.  You 
                         brought your food dehydrator.  
                         We'll have to make some of your 
                         famous jerky.

                                   DOROTHY
                         Later.  My undies have to dry out 
                         first.  Now.  What else needs to 
                         be made?

               She takes off towards the kitchen.  Shirley follows her.

                         Well I think everything's done

               He yells and dances around like he's just scored.  Hunter 
               puts the urn on the mantle above the fireplace.

                                   HUNTER

               Shane, Hunter, and Lester take their seats at the table.  
               Yoda tries to get up on the table.

                                   DOROTHY
                         Hunter be a dear and go get your

               The TV Announcer goes nuts like a great play has just 
               happened.  Merv speeds it up.

                         Holy Muhammad!  Be staying away 
                         from me dinky devil. 

               Yoda lunges at him.  Ahmad SCREAMS and runs for his life, 
               slamming the door behind him.

          72   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - LESTER'S BEDROOM (ANIMATED)

               Yoda smashes into the door and sticks there as he curses in 
               Spanish. 

          73   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - DINING ROOM -- LATER

               Merv, Shirley, Lester, Dorothy, Hunter, Leah, and Shane, all 
               turn around and stare at Ahmad as he sits back at the table.

                                   AHMAD
                         That little dog possess much evil.

                                   LESTER
                         He's not evil!  He's a defenseless 
                         little dog.

                                   AHMAD
                         I am begging the differ.  He is 
                         pure evil.  I am seeing it in his 
                         eyes.

                                   LESTER
                         Bah!  You want evil?

               He lets loose the mother of all farts.

                                   LESTER (CONT'D)
                         That's evil!

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Dad!  Not at the table!

                         That's gonna leave a mark!

                                   LESTER
                         It did.  Shirl, I'm gonna need a 
                         diaper change.

               As he gets up to leave a faint THUD rattles a door. 

                                   AHMAD

                         The turkey's delicious, Shirley.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Why thank you.  It's all in my 
                         secret stuffing.

                                   DOROTHY
                         I said the turkey.

                         You call this a turkey?  This

                         to the attic and bring down the 
                         turkey we should be eating.  Damn 
                         veggie freaks.  Who ever heard of 
                         taking turkeys to the Vet?

                         Hello!?  Wounding's the first

                         them a whole hell of a lot easier 
                         to eat.  This is what you get 
                         when you drink burnt coffee and 
                         eat orgasmic somethings or others 
                         like all those other Frisco

                         Notice the sloped forehead of the 
                         Neanderthal Carnivore hunter and 
                         gatherer.  Leaving little room

                         you're talking about smart ass.  
                         We eat meat in this house!  Your 
                         teeth were made to rip into a 
                         nice juicy piece of animal flesh.

               He demonstrates on a piece of turkey.

          74   EXT. BUILDING (JAPANESE ANIME)

               Merv, dressed as CARNIVOR, a robotic caveman, blasts 
               drumsticks out of his fists at a couple of cowering VEGHEADS 
               (AHMAD AND HUNTER).

               They pick up some veggies and try a surprise attack.  But 
               Carnivor is gone.  Their veggie-ammo flies aimlessly through 
               the air.  SUDDENLY!

               Carnivor crashes through the wall holding a side of beef in 
               one hand and a turkey carcass in the other.  He then proceeds 
               to pulverize the Vegheads with them.

                         I remember when Merv used to get 
                         the runs from chicken, only we 
                         didn't know it was chicken at the 
                         time so he didn't eat meat for a 
                         whole year!

                                   HUNTER
                         So, the Carnivorous one was a

                         Great!  If being a Veghead wasn't 
                         bad enough.

                         It got out of hand and we spent 
                         our first night together in jail.

               Leah and Ahmad attack each other and start kissing hot and 
               heavy right in front of the family.

                         It was only for one night.  But 
                         it was enough to get us expelled.

                         EXPELLED!  That's money well spent.  
                         What's a smart kid like you getting 
                         involved in that tree hugging 
                         crap for?

                         No-No-No!  The hugging of trees 
                         we were definitely not doing.

                                   HUNTER
                         It's good to stand up for something 
                         you believe in.

                         That's easy for you to say.  It's 
                         not your money paying for it.

                         Actually I invited Ahmad to stay.

               She slaps Merv's face. 

                                   MERV
                         Don't tell me all that time wasted 
                         doodling hasn't paid off and your 
                         coming back too!?

                                   HUNTER
                         Well...

                                   MERV
                         I told you this would happen if 
                         you keep giving them money, Shirl!  
                         I'm going to Thursties to finish 
                         my game!

               He gets up.  Grabs his hat and coat.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Fine!  Leave.  Go to that stupid 
                         old bar!  See if I care.

                                   LESTER (O.S.)
                         Shirley!  Come wipe my ass!

                                   MERV
                         When are you gonna teach him to 
                         wipe his own ass? 

               SFX:  DING!

                                   DOROTHY
                         Oh joy!  My undies are done!

          78   INT. JONAS' CAR/EXT. FREEWAY -- LATE MORNING (PRESENT)

                                   MERV
                         For some odd reason all my leeches 
                         had returned to the scene of their 
                         birth. 

               He notices an exit sign. 

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         Hey!  Take this exit.  I know a 
                         shortcut.

                                   JONAS
                         I told you.  I'm not taking none 
                         of your damn shortcuts.  

                                   MERV
                         At this pace my pension won't 
                         matter because I'll be dead of 
                         old age.  I should'a taken a taxi.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        43.


                                   JONAS
                         Amen brutha!

                                   MERV
                         I ain't your brutha!

                                   JONAS
                         And an AMEN to that as well!

               He drives the car forward.  Merv lunges over and pulls the 
               steering wheel so he has to exit.

                                   JONAS (CONT'D)
                         What the blue-eyed devil's wrong 
                         with you?

                                   MERV
                         I told you.  I know a shortcut.  
                         Turn left at the stop sign.

          79   INT. JONAS' CAR/EXT. FREEWAY OFF-RAMP

               Jonas drives to the stop sign.  A construction sign prohibits 
               them from making a left turn.

                                   JONAS
                         Shortcut, huh?  Turn left you 
                         say.  Which way now Mr. Get-Off-
                         The-Freeway?

                                   MERV
                         Turn right.  We'll be able to 
                         turn back soon enough.

                                   JONAS
                         Just for that... 

               He turns on the radio to an R&B station.  Merv groans. 

          80   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - HALLWAY

               Shirley hums one of Shane's tunes as she puts dirty clothes 
               into the washing machine.  Then goes into another room with 
               some clean clothes from the dryer.  Lester hobbles down with 
               a dog chain in his hand.

                                   LESTER
                         Yoda!  Where are you you little 
                         son of a bitch.

          81   INT. OLD MOTORHOME -- MOMENTS LATER (ANIMATED)

                                   LESTER (O.S.)
                         Yoda?  Where the hell are you?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        44.


               Lester enters and spots Hoppy.

                                   LESTER
                         There you are!  How'd you get in 
                         here you little bastard?

               He clips the chain onto Hoppy. 

                                   HOPPY
                         I'm not Yoda ya blind old coot.
                              (to Buck and Skitso)
                         Don't just hang there.  Help me!

               Buck and Skitso laugh as Lester drags Hoppy out the door.

                                   BUCK
                         Have a nice walk, Hoppy.

                                   SKITSO
                         Don't forget to write!

          82   INT. HOSPITAL - RECEPTION

               Leah and Ahmad are at the receptionist's counter.

                                   AHMAD
                         Please be excusing me.  But the 
                         mother of Muhammad is waiting to 
                         be checked upon.

                                   RECEPTIONIST
                         What?

                                   LEAH
                         What my fiancé's trying to say is 
                         that I'm here for my first checkup 
                         with Dr. Gondos.

                                   RECEPTIONIST
                         Then why didn't he just say that?  
                         Fill these out and he'll be with 
                         you shortly.

               She hands Leah a pen and a bunch of forms on a clipboard.

          83   INT. THURSTIES -- AFTERNOON

               Blitz, Trigg, and Hasakami try to play pool.  But they are 
               so drunk balls and cues go flying everywhere.  They laugh as 
               Joe the Bartender gets them to stop with more beer. 

          84   INT. JONAS' CAR/EXT. FREEWAY SIDE STREET

               R&B music continues to play on the radio. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        45.


                                   MERV
                         Would you shut that crap off!

                                   JONAS
                         Oh now you're calling my people's 
                         music crap.  

                                   MERV
                         Can't we just listen to something 
                         mutual like the news?

                                   JONAS
                         Hmm.  Alright.

               He turns it to the news station.  The Sports Report is on.

                                   SPORTS ANCHOR (V.O.)
                         There's no doubt about it!       
                         B-ball is sizzling this season!

                                   JONAS
                         Ain't that the truth.

                                   MERV
                         Basketball sucks!

                                   JONAS
                         What did you just say?

                                   MERV
                         You heard me.  I haven't watched 
                         basketball since it was taken 
                         over by the monkeys.

                                   JONAS
                         Say what?

                                   MERV
                         Now football and hockey... only 
                         real men play those sports.

                                   JONAS
                         What?  A bunch of Cracker's 
                         carrying sticks and wearing hoods 
                         disguised as masks.

                                   MERV
                         At least they're not like those 
                         highlight-crazed jungle-bunnies 
                         waiting for the ball to be thrown 
                         to them by a token white guy.

               Jonas stomps on the brakes and skids to a stop.  Merv is 
               chaffed by the seatbelt.

                                   JONAS
                         Apologize, or the token white guy 
                         can get the hell outta this jungle-
                         bunny's ride!

                                   MERV
                         Okay, I apologize.  You're wasting 
                         precious time.  Let's get going.

                                   JONAS
                         I'll start the damn car when I'm 
                         damn good and ready.

               He tries to start the car.  It won't turn over.

                                   MERV
                         So?  Why aren't we moving?

                                   JONAS
                         Damn starter.  Always actin' up!

                                   MERV
                         Should'a never bought a foreign 
                         car.

          85   EXT. PARK

               Lester sits on the park bench yelling at PASSER-BYES.  Hoppy 
               sits next to him.

                                   LESTER
                         Hey fat ass!

               A CUTE FEMALE JOGGER stops and bends down to pet what she 
               thinks is a dog.

                                   CUTE FEMALE JOGGER
                         What a sweet little doggie.  Yes 
                         you are.  You are so sweet.

               Lester peeks down her top, which reveals most of her 
               voluptuous breasts.  She notices she's petting a stuffed 
               Rabbit as Lester pinches her butt.  She SCREAMS, then WHACK!  
               Her open hand meets his face.

                                   CUTE FEMALE JOGGER (CONT'D)
                         Pervert!

               Lester laughs as she jogs off.

                                   LESTER
                         I think she likes me.

          86   INT. AIRPLANE

               Hunter throws roasted peanuts in the Pompous Ass's hair.  
               Disgusted, he gets up and leaves.  Hunter climbs over the 
               seat and sits next to Charlotte.

                                   HUNTER
                         Miss me?

                                   CHARLOTTE
                         That guy's pissed.

                                   HUNTER
                         He's gonna have the runs in a 
                         little while.

               He puts some laxatives in the Pompous Ass's drink.

                                   CHARLOTTE
                         What are you doing? 

                                   HUNTER
                         He brought this on himself.

                                   POMPOUS ASS
                         Ahem!

               Hunter looks up to see the Pompous Ass and a STEWARDESS.

                                   STEWARDESS
                         I'm afraid you're going to have 
                         to return to your seat, sir.  
                         Next time I have to tell you... 
                         Well let's just say there are a 
                         few reasons we carry parachutes 
                         on board this plane.

               Hunter moves back to his seat to the dismay of the Other 
               Passengers in his row.  The Pompous Ass sits down.

                                   STEWARDESS (CONT'D)
                         Let me know if you have any further 
                         trouble.

                                   POMPOUS ASS
                         Oh you bet I will. 

               He takes a drink of his soda.

                                   MERV
                         Have you been having nightmares 
                         lately?

                                   JONAS
                         Only every time I look next door 
                         and see the family of whacked out 
                         Charlie's.  Pass me the other 
                         screwdriver.

               Merv complies. 

                                   MERV
                         Like you're standing out in the 
                         middle of the road.  All by 
                         yourself...

          88   EXT. EMPTY HIGHWAY -- NIGHT (NIGHTMARE SEQUENCE)

               Merv finds himself alone in the middle of the road.

          89   INT. 'OL GERTIE (ANIMATED)

               Buck, Hoppy, and Skitso, dressed in hunting attire and armed 
               with rifles, argue over who gets to drive.

          90   EXT. EMPTY HIGHWAY

               Merv spots 'Ol Gertie speeding towards him.  He wants to run 
               but can't.  Trapped "like a human in headlights".

          91   INT. 'OL GERTIE (ANIMATED) 

               Buck, Hoppy, and Skitso continue to argue.

          92   EXT. EMPTY HIGHWAY

               'Ol Gertie bears down on Merv.  He SCREAMS as he's transported 
               into...

          93   EXT. AHMAD'S WORLD (ANIMATED)

               There are Convenient Stores on every corner.  A guy selling 
               bombs to people at an airport.  Taxicabs everywhere.  And 
               just for good measure every body looks just like Ahmad.  
               They chant a prayer to Allah...

                                   AHMAD (V.O.)
                         Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.

          94   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - MASTER BEDROOM -- MORNING (FLASHBACK)

               TIMEWARP DAY: Last Monday 

               The sound of Ahmad praying to Allah continues.

                                   AHMAD
                         Arrahmanir Rahim.  Maliki yaw 
                         mid...

               Merv opens his eyes and sees Ahmad, arms and legs crossed.

                                   MERV
                         What the hell are you doing?

                                   AHMAD
                         I am praying to the great Allah.

                                   MERV
                         Not in my bedroom, towlie!

          95   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN

               Shirley hurries breakfast along, Dorothy looks through the 
               cupboards, the Urn sits on the table.  Yoda eats from the 
               plate at the head of the table.  Hunter doodles, and Lester 
               sucks his breakfast through a silly straw.

                                   LESTER
                         Needs pepper.

               He picks up the urn and sprinkles some of it in his breakfast 
               drink.  Takes a swig and likes the new flavor.  Dorothy turns 
               around to see Yoda.

                                   DOROTHY
                         Oh joy!  Scat!  Scat!

               Merv and Ahmad yell at each other as the go down the hallway.  
               Yoda turns his attention to the commotion.

                                   AHMAD (O.S.)
                         This is free country.  You can 
                         not oppress me like this.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Hunter.  Quick!  Put Yoda outside.

               Hunter grabs Yoda just as he leaps off the table and tosses 
               him outside.  Yoda BARKS as he appears in the back door window 
               from time to time.

                                   MERV (O.S.)
                         I can oppress anybody I want in 
                         my house!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        50.


               Ahmad enters followed by Merv.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Ahmad!  Have a seat.  Breakfast 
                         is ready.

               Ahmad looks under the table for any sign of Yoda.

                                   LESTER
                         Don't get your turban in a bind!  
                         They put him outside.

               Yoda jumps up in the window and scares Ahmad, who backs up 
               into Merv's chair and sits down.

                                   MERV
                         What do you think you're doing?

                                   AHMAD
                         I am sitting down to partake of 
                         breakfast.

                                   MERV
                         Move it!

               Ahmad moves to the next chair over.  Shirley puts a plate of 
               eggs sunnyside up, country potatoes, and ham in front of 
               Merv.  Then a plate in front of Ahmad, minus the ham.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Rule #1.  Don't sit in any chair 
                         that has a permanent indent.  
                         Here you go.  No meat!

                                   AHMAD
                         No!  Get it away!  Oh the carnage!

               He wigs out.  Everybody stares at him. 

                                   SHIRLEY
                         What's wrong?

                                   LESTER
                         Maybe he wants to drink it through 
                         a straw! 

                                   MERV
                         He's nutsy-coo-coo!  That's why 
                         his kind are always terrorizing 
                         innocent people.

               Leah rushes in.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        51.


                                   LEAH
                         What's going on?  What did you 
                         say to him, dad? 

                                   AHMAD
                         Liquid... chickens.

                                   LEAH
                         It's the eggs.  He doesn't eat 
                         eggs.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Oh my!  I didn't know eggs were 
                         meat.

               She takes the plate away.  

                                   LEAH
                         It's okay baby.  They're gone.

                                   MERV
                         What kind of nutcase have you 
                         gotten involved with this time?  

                                   LEAH
                         The father of my child is not a 
                         nut case!

               The room gets silent. 

                                   MERV & AHMAD
                         The what!?

                                   LEAH
                         I'm Pregnant.

               She holds up the pregnancy test.  Hunter spews his Cappuccino. 

                                   AHMAD
                         You mean?

                         SHIRLEY
                 I'm going to be a 
                 grandma!?

                                                       DOROTHY
                                               Great grandma!? 

                                   AHMAD
                         But how could this have happened?

          96   INT. LEAH'S DORM ROOM -- EVENING

               Giggling is heard coming from under the sheets as a thick 
               Iranian accent sings...

                         Shake, shake, shake.  Shake, shake, 
                         shake.  Shake your boobies.  Shake

                                   MERV
                         Leave it to the raghead to not 
                         know the birds from the bees.

                                   AHMAD
                         You are not understanding.  The 
                         great Allah will have my balls 
                         for this?  There is only one 
                         honorable thing to do.

               He gets down on one knee.

                         Oh no!  She's not marrying you!  
                         I won't permit it!

                                   HUNTER
                         They don't need your permission.  
                         Nobody cares about the father's 
                         opinion anymore.

                                   MERV
                         I'll ask your opinion when I want 
                         it Mr. Save the World from itself.

                                   MERV
                         Don't answer yet...  Where are 
                         you going to live?

                                   LEAH

                         That's a great idea!

                                   MERV
                         Shut up.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         She's going to need support from 
                         the whole family, that includes 
                         you, Merv.

                         Using the phone didn't stop you 
                         from helping before.  
                              (to Leah)
                         How's he going to support you?

                                   LEAH
                         He'll get a job.  Maybe at the 
                         Collection Agency.

                                   HUNTER
                         Hey yeh!  You're always trying to 
                         get Shane to follow in your 
                         footsteps.

                                   MERV
                         I said shut up, Veggie Boy. 

                                   DOROTHY
                         So?  What's the answer?

               Leah looks at Ahmad...

                                   LEAH
                         Yes!  Yes I'll marry you.

                                   AHMAD
                         Oh, Leah!  I am overjoyed with... 
                         joy!

               Leah and Ahmad embrace and kiss.  Ahmad stops and rubs Leah's 
               stomach.

                         our love on your head.  It shall 
                         be removed only in my presence.

                         Oh I love these foreign rituals.  
                         They're so romantic. 

                                   MERV
                         This so called romance is making 
                         me sick.  I'm going to work. 

               He gets up to leave.

                         Be welcoming me to the family...  
                         Dad!

               He jumps up and gives Merv a great big bear hug and a kiss.

                                   MERV
                         Somebody!  Get this fairy off me!

               Shane drags himself in.

                         Did I miss something?

          98   EXT. FREEWAY SIDE STREET -- AFTERNOON (PRESENT)

               Jonas continues fiddling with the car.

                                   MERV
                         Haven't you got that thing fixed

                                   JONAS
                         No.  It's as stubborn as you.

                                   MERV
                         Let me give it a try.

                         Have you flipped that StayPuft

                         Son of a bitch!

                         Well this is a fine how do ya do.  
                         You give White Devil a whole new 
                         meaning.  How am I supposed to 
                         fix that?

                                   MERV
                         How am I supposed to get to work?

                         How are you supposed to get to 
                         work!?  Why don't you ask your

                         Side streets had nothing to do 
                         with your monkey mobile breaking 
                         down.  It was those Jerkanese not 
                         making these things right in the 
                         first place!  You're lucky we 
                         didn't break down on the damn 
                         freeway your black ass was so 
                         happy to be on!

                                   JONAS
                         Oh!  So now you're some kind of 
                         peckerwood savior.  Let me bow 
                         down to your righteous white ass.

               He mockingly bows down to Merv.

                                   MERV
                         Why do you people always have to

                                   JONAS
                         Oh!  It's my people that twist 
                         everything around, huh?  Man, I 
                         oughta bust you another one!

                         Another one what?

               Jonas raises his fists...

                                   JONAS
                         You're about to find out.  I got 
                         feet like a bee and fists that 
                         sting like a butterfly.

                                   MERV
                         Then say hello to my bug swatters.

               He raises his fists.  They go around in circles without 
               throwing a punch.

         100   EXT. PARK

               Lester and Hoppy sit on another park bench.  A BUSTY WOMAN 
               comes over to him.

                                   LESTER
                         Hey toots!  Come sit on my lap.

                                   BUSTY WOMAN
                         You looking for a good time stud?

                                   LESTER
                         Always.  I may look old, but the 
                         plumbing's still squirtin'. And 
                         I've got cash.

               He hands over some money.  The Busty Woman takes it. 

                                   LESTER (CONT'D)
                         Oh boy, Yoda!  I'm gonna score!

               The Busty Woman slaps on a pair of handcuffs and shows him 
               her police badge.

                                   LESTER (CONT'D)

         101   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - SHANE'S GARAGE ROOM

               A pair of skid-marked underwear is pulled over a sleeping 
               head.  A pair of tweezers plucks out an armpit hair.

                                   SHANE
                         What the!?  Ah, man!

               He pulls off the underwear, and is met by the stomachs of 
               Lance and Dylan, one with lint in his belly-button.

                                   DYLAN
                         Feed me, Shane!

                         anything better to do?

               They pull their shirts down as we pull back to reveal Shane's 
               domain.  A kick-ass room with pot posters, band posters, 
               drums, guitars, amps, microphones, mic stands, and cable.

                                   LANCE

                         Wait here.  I'll go raid the

               He gets out of bed.

               Shirley does her daily chores of dishes.  The PHONE RINGS.

                         little dog is still there.  We've

               She hangs up and dials.

                         Hi, Winnie.  Could you do me a 
                         huge favor?  

               Shane enters and spots Shirley's purse on the table.  He 
               digs through it.  

                                   SHIRLEY (CONT'D)

                         know what's gotten into him.  
                         He's like the Energizer Bunny! 

               Shane takes out a twenty dollar bill.

               Leah, on a pay phone, gets a BUSY SIGNAL.

                         Our turn is upon us.

               He hangs up the phone for Leah and escorts her to the nurse.

               Ahmad tries to follow, but the Nurse stops him.

         108   EXT. TASTEE BURGER ORDER STATION/INT. SHANE'S VW BUS

               Shane pulls up to the drive-thru order station.  The loud, 
               obnoxious voice of an 80's Glamrocker blasts on the speaker.

                                   GLAMROCKER (V.O.)
                         Welcome to Tastee Burger.  May I

                         And maybe some Coke to wash it

                                   GLAMROCKER (V.O.)

               The speaker shakes... smokes... and explodes!

               Shane pulls up.  The GLAMROCKER, decked out in a Glam-style 
               Tastee Burger Gear, is just as loud and obnoxious as on the 
               speaker.

               Shane, Lance, and Dylan rock out as YOUNG ADULTS drink and 
               party like there's no tomorrow.  Yoda drinks from a leaky 
               beer keg.  Lester dances with ZOE, Lance's 18 year-old gothic 
               girlfriend.  He puts his hands on her butt.

         112   INT. JONAS' HOUSE - LIVING ROOM (ANIMATED)

               Things fall off the walls and break.  Jonas is on the phone.

                                   JONAS
                         I want to report a disturbance.  
                         What?  It's not my damn stereo?  
                         It's the damn hillbillies next 
                         door!

         113   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - LIVING ROOM

               The Glamrocker throws up.  Yoda jumps off the counter, sniffs 
               the vomit, and laps it up.  The door opens.  OFFICER GRADY 
               pokes his head in.  Merv and Shirley enter behind Officer 
               Grady.

                                   OFFICER GRADY
                         My God!  It's Slackerpalooza!

                                   MERV
                         For the Love of Pete!

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Looks like a party.

                                   MERV
                         You think?

               He spots Lester dancing with Zoe.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         Nice to see we can trust your old 
                         delinquent of a father.

               Dylan spots Officer Grady.  The music stops. 

                                   DYLAN
                         It's the fuzz!  Hide the weed!

         114   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - LIVING ROOM (ANIMATED) 

               Yoda looks up and drunkenly envisions Merv's leg as the Furry 
               Bitch.

                                   FURRY BITCH
                         Here I am, stud!  Want some of 
                         this?

               Yoda drools as she turns and raises her ass.  POOF!  He 
               charges towards her like a mad dog in heat.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        61.


         115   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - LIVING ROOM

               Yoda misses Merv's leg, and BOINK!  Right into the wall.  He 
               backs up in a daze.  Shirley picks him up.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Oh, you poor baby.  What have 
                         they done to you?

               Yoda licks her in the mouth.

                                   MERV
                         Alright!  Everybody Out!

               Nobody moves.  Officer Grady whips out his bullhorn.

                                   OFFICER GRADY
                         You heard the man.  Vacate the 
                         premises... NOW!!!

               There's a mad dash for the door.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Thanks for coming.  Hope you had 
                         fun.

               Shane tries to sneak out with them.  Merv grabs him.

                                   SHANE
                         Mom!  Dad!  What are you doing 
                         here?

               Shirley follows a POLICE OFFICER down the hallway.

                                   POLICE OFFICER
                         Your old man's quite a handful.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Tell me about it. 

               They pass by...

         118   INT. POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM

               Where a MIME is being interrogated by a FAT COP and a BALD 
               COP.  It appears to be another of his routines.

                                   MIME
                         I'm telling you!  It was a beat

                         hanging around there lately.

                         What are you crazy?  Do we look 
                         stupid to you?  Mime's don't talk.

         119   INT. AIRPLANE

               The Pompous Ass snores loudly.  He's adorned by various items 
               put all over him by Hunter.  There's a RUMBLE IN HIS STOMACH.  
               The Pompous Ass's eyes pop open.  ANOTHER RUMBLE.

         120   INT. POMPOUS ASS'S DIGESTIVE TRACT (ANIMATED) 

               A GROUP OF LAXATIVE BUBBLES reek havoc by jumping up and 
               down, punching, and more.

         121   INT. AIRPLANE

               The Pompous Ass rushes for the bathroom.  Hunter returns to 
               the seat next to Charlotte.

                                   HUNTER
                         He's gonna be in there awhile.

                                   CHARLOTTE
                         Hunter, I'd like to punch you 
                         now.  Does the offer still stand?

                                   HUNTER
                         What did I do? 

                                   CHARLOTTE
                         Can you behave yourself for another 
                         hour?  I don't want to have to 
                         explain to Bogel why his hot new

               She looks out the window.

                         They can't make me jump.

         122   INT./EXT. AIRPLANE -- MOMENTS LATER (ANIMATED)

               A HUGE FOOT kicks Hunter out of the plane.  He tries to open 
               his parachute.  A bunch of knickknacks fly out.  He SCREAMS 
               as he plummets towards the ground.

                                   HUNTER
                         Hey, what am I afraid of?  I'm a 
                         cartoon.

               He SPLATS into the ground.

                                   HUNTER (CONT'D)
                         That didn't hurt! 

         123   INT. HOSPITAL - WAITING ROOM

               Ahmad and the Expectant Fathers pace around when a BLOOD-
               CURDLING SCREAM is heard.  They all stop.  The scream is 
               followed by intense laughter, they all sigh in relief.  The 
               laughter continues into the 

         124   INT. HOSPITAL - EXAMINING ROOM

               Leah laughs as she lays on an examining table.  DR. GONDOS 
               checks her out.

                                   DR. GONDOS
                         Oops.  Sorry.  The tools are a 
                         little cold.  How'd your father 
                         react to the possibility that you 
                         may be pregnant?

         125   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN -- MORNING (FLASHBACK)

               TIMEWARP DAY: Last Monday 

               Merv, Shirley, Hunter, Leah, Ahmad, Dorothy, and Lester sit 
               at the table.  Yoda jumps up in the window, barking.

                                   MERV
                         The poor kid's not going to know 
                         whether to own a convenience store 
                         or drive a taxi!  There will be 
                         no half-breed born in this house!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        64.


                                   DOROTHY
                         What's a half-breed?

                                   LEAH
                         Fine!  I'll have your grandson 
                         somewhere else.  Where he'll be 
                         appreciated.

               Leah storms out.  Ahmad gets up to follow.

                                   AHMAD
                         You sir, are a "mardekeh".

               He lodges a loogie as he speaks.  It lands in Merv's food.

                                   MERV
                         Thanks a lot Hack Boy!  Don't 
                         bomb any planes on your way back!

               Ahmad curses in Farsi as he goes down the hall.  Dorothy 
               screams at the top of her lungs.

                                   DOROTHY
                         WHAT'S A HALF BREED!?

         126   INT. WINNIE'S CAR -- AFTERNOON (PRESENT)

               Winnie drives.  Shirley is in the passenger seat and Lester 
               is in the back yelling out the window.

                                   LESTER
                         Hey fat ass!

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Thanks so much for doing this.

                                   WINNIE
                         No problem.  It's always good to 
                         help out a friend.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         I wish our husbands could get 
                         along.  I think Merv enjoys being 
                         miserable... then he spreads it 
                         around so he has company.

                                   WINNIE
                         Jonas is the same way.  You know... 
                         if those two took a moment to 
                         stop fighting, they'd realize how 
                         much alike they are.

         127   EXT. FREEWAY SIDE STREET

               Merv and Jonas, with fists raised are still going in circles.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        65.


                                   MERV
                         Are you gonna do something?

                                   JONAS
                         Oh I intend to.

                                   MERV
                         This is ridiculous.

               He puts down his fists, turns, and walks up the street.

                                   JONAS
                         Just like a cracky to turn yellow 
                         and run.  Where you going?

                                   MERV
                         To call a taxi.

                                   JONAS
                         Taxi?  You better be calling a 
                         damn tow truck.

               Jonas follows him.  The radiator continues to smoke and spurt.

                                   MERV
                         It's your car.  You call the damn 
                         tow truck.

         128   EXT. GAS STATION - PHONE BOOTHS -- MOMENTS LATER

               Merv picks up a pay phone, puts in a quarter, and dials a 
               number.  Jonas looks at his pay phone.  It's disgusting.

                                   JONAS
                         Sure.  Leave the shitty phone for 
                         the brutha!

               He thumbs through the phone book and gets gum on his fingers.

                                   MERV
                         Hey Samantha, it's Merv.  My ride 
                         is having a little car trouble.  
                         He's calling a tow truck now.  
                         Has the tojo come in yet?  Great!  
                         I'll be there as soon as I can.  

               He hangs up as Jonas dials.

                                   JONAS
                         Hello!  Yeh, I need a tow!  How 
                         the hell am I supposed to know!?

         129   INT. THURSTIES -- MOMENTS LATER

               Blitz, Trigg, and Hasakami drink away, amusing themselves.  
               Blitz's PAGER GOES OFF.

                                   BLITZ
                         Damn it!  Work calls.  Hey Joe, 
                         can I use your phone?

                                   JOE THE BARTENDER
                         Sure.

               He puts the phone on the counter. 

         130   INT. RETIREMENT HOME

               Shirley and Lester sit as the SUPERVISOR types "Lester 
               Feldman" into her computer.  It comes up FLASHING RED.

                                   SUPERVISOR
                         Oh my!  Mr. Feldman's a code red.  
                         We can't admit problem elders 
                         here.

                         go pick up Yoda.

               He gets up and shuffles out.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         You've got to admit him!

                                   SUPERVISOR
                         I'm sorry.  His behavior at the... 
                         thirty-eight other rest homes 
                         leave a lot to be desired.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         But he's changed.

               A SCREAM is heard.  A NURSE runs by the door followed by 
               Lester moving his fingers like pinchers.

         131   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - SHANE'S GARAGE ROOM

               Shane, Dylan, Lance and Zoe sit around smoking pot as "HR 
               PUFNSTUF" plays on the TV.

                                   DYLAN
                         Hey!  Those trees are talkin'.  
                         Wild, man. 

               Dylan passes the joint to Lance over Zoe.  They fumble the 
               transition and it drops on Zoe, burning her.

               She gives Lance a major "titty twister".

                         Ouch, bitch!

               He returns the "titty twister".  Dylan and Shane laugh.

                                   SHANE
                         Hey.  Is it just me or do you all 
                         have the munchies?

                         I don't know.  Until he's done.

               J.T. gets loose and chases them around the house.

                                   J.T.

               As Merv and Jonas walk back a tow truck drives up and parks 
               in front of Jonas' car.  The TOW TRUCK DRIVER gets out of

                         Probably because he killed my

               Yoda, with a withdrawal slip stuffed in his collar, stares 
               up at Shane, Lance, and Dylan from inside a bank tube.  

                                   DYLAN
                         Come on... Say it...

                         It's just a commercial, man.

               Shane puts some shaving cream around Yoda's mouth.

                                   SHANE
                         Surf's up, Yoda dude!

               He closes the tube and drops it into the bank tube slot.

         135   INT. TUBE PASSAGEWAY (ANIMATED)

               Yoda freaks out as he zips through the tunnel.

         136   INT. BANK

               BANK EMPLOYEES work in the background.  The DRIVE-THRU TELLER 
               works diligently at her station when Yoda pops up shaking 
               like a leaf.  She SCREAMS, jumps back, and hits the panic 
               button.  A SECURITY GUARD and PATRONS hit the floor.  On the 
               drive-thru monitor we see.

               Shane, Lance, and Dylan "mooning" the camera.

         137   EXT. BANK

               Sirens blare.  Police cars skid to a stop in front and behind 
               the truck.  Officer Grady gets out of his squad car.

                                   OFFICER GRADY
                              (on megaphone)

                         Oh shit!

               They quickly pull up their pants.  In his haste, Shane 
               accidentally hits the gear lever.

         138   EXT. BANK (ANIMATED) 

               'Ol Gertie takes off backwards, out of control, smashing

               construction barriers and falling into a huge sinkhole.

               front of him, while Blitz and Trigg drink it up.

                         Yep!  Merv couldn't hit the side 
                         of a barn even if you stuck the 
                         barrel right up against it.

                                   BLITZ
                         Hey!  How is that deer, anyway?

               Trigg and Blitz laugh uncontrollably.  The BAR PATRONS go 
               crazy as a boxing match they are watching on TV comes down 
               to an exciting finish.  Blitz and Trigg turn their attention 
               to the fight.  Merv just sits there.

                                   BLITZ
                         Is that right?  So "King".  Let's 
                         go huntin' tomorrow.

                                   TRIGG
                         Can't.  She's making me go to her 
                         sister's tupperware party.

               Blitz makes a whip crack sound effect.  Merv stands up.

                                   MERV
                         I have a dream!

               The Bar Patrons grow quiet. 

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         A dream where all my kids have 
                         jobs and can support themselves 
                         and move the hell outta my house.  
                         A dream that Shirley and I can 
                         once again make love without 
                         somebody barging in on us.

                                   TRIGG
                         Hey, hey, hey!  Easy on the visual 
                         stuff.  Our guts are sorta filled 
                         with beer... if you know what I 
                         mean.

                                   MERV
                         Gees.  It's just human nature.  I 
                         mean...  Hell!  Trigg, you and 
                         Dorleen still have sex, don't ya?

               Trigg's stomach RUMBLES.  He rushes out.

                                   BLITZ
                         Why'd you have to go and mention 
                         Dorleen and sex in the same 
                         sentence for?  You know he still 
                         has to wear a blindfold.

         144   INT. BLITZ'S TOW TRUCK -- LATE AFTERNOON (PRESENT)

               Jonas is livid.

                                   JONAS
                         Blasphemy!  That's Sacrilege!  
                         Stealin' Martin Luther King Jr.'s 
                         shit.  That's just like the white 
                         man.  Can't think of nothin' 
                         original so he goes and steals a 
                         black man's masterpiece and uses 
                         it for his own damn self.

                                   BLITZ
                         I'm sure he didn't mean it that 
                         way.

               A BUM steps out in front of them.

                                   MERV
                         Blitz!  Watch out!

               Blitz slams on the brakes.  The Bum, Merv, and Jonas SCREAM 
               as the tow truck screeches to a halt followed by Jonas' car 
               and a THUD.

         145   EXT. STREET -- MOMENTS LATER

               The Bum lays motionless.  Merv, Jonas, and Blitz hover over 
               him.

                                   JONAS
                         You're the hunter.  You turn him 
                         over.

                                   MERV
                         I don't hunt people!

                                   BLITZ
                         Well I ain't turnin' him over.  
                         What if he's dead and I turn him 
                         over and my live eyes and his 
                         dead eyes meet and it causes some 
                         sort of crazy zombie type 
                         transformation.

                                   MERV & JONAS
                         Zombie transformation?

               The Bum moves.  Blitz screams like a girl.

                                   BLITZ
                         He's alive!  He's gonna eat our 
                         brains!

                                   JONAS
                         Our brains!?  You're the Pinky 
                         that hit him.

                                   MERV
                         He's not gonna eat anybody's 
                         brains. You okay, mister?

               He helps the Bum up, who notices his "Will Work For Food" 
               sign is in pieces.

                                   RALPH
                         Ah!  Look what ya did to my new 
                         sign.  Now I'm a gonna have to 
                         make another one. 

                                   MERV
                         Ralph?

                                   RALPH
                         Yeh?  Merv?

                                   MERV & RALPH
                         It is you! 

               They give each other a friendly hug.

                                   JONAS
                         What is this?  A Spice Boys 
                         Reunion?  Come on.  Don't want to 
                         be late to your last day, remember?

                                   RALPH
                         You're retiring today?

                                   MERV
                         Maybe.  You know how that old 
                         penny pinchin' jap is.

                                   RALPH
                         Indeed I do.  You seem pretty 
                         calm.  Remember how I was?

         146   INT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS - BREAK ROOM -- MORNING (FLASHBACK)

               TIMEWARP DAY: 1 Year Ago 

               Ralph nervously pours coffee in his mug.  Merv enters.  

                                   MERV
                         Better calm those nerves, Ralph.  
                         You're gonna give yourself away.

                                   RALPH
                         I can't help it.  What am I going 
                         to do if he gets me right before 
                         I clock out like Schwartz?  That's 
                         something I don't think I can 
                         handle very well.

                                   MERV
                         You'll be okay.  I'll try to keep 
                         the slant-eyed devil busy.  Just 
                         get a grip on yourself.  You've 
                         only got an hour left.

               Hasakami trudges in.  Merv casually gets his cup of coffee.

                                   HASAKAMI
                         Ralph!  Schidt!  Why you not 
                         working?

               Startled, Ralph's coffee flings in the air.  Landing all 
               over Hasakami.  Ralph grabs paper towels and attempts to 
               wipe the coffee off.

                                   RALPH
                         I'm terribly sorry Mr.  
                         Hasacrapy... I mean...

                                   HASAKAMI
                         Forget mess.  Just get to work.  
                         No collect.  No make me money.

                                   RALPH
                         Yes sir.  Right away, sir!

               He gives the mug and paper towel to Hasakami and exits.

                         I'm surprised I've still got a 
                         chance.

                                   JONAS
                         A chance that's fading if we don't 
                         get going.

                                   MERV
                         A few days ago I went into his 
                         office to get my paycheck and 
                         what do I see?  Thursday circled 
                         in red with my name on it.  That 
                         kamikaze's gonna can me the day 
                         before to make sure there are no 
                         mistakes. 

                                   RALPH
                         He's a sly one alright.

                         So I came up with this brilliant 
                         plan.

                                                               TIMEWARP TO: 

         148   EXT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS -- LATE NIGHT (FLASHBACK)(ANIMATED)

               TIMEWARP DAY: Last Wednesday 

               A grungy rendition of "Mission Impossible" kicks in as Merv, 
               Blitz, and Trigg, dressed in black, sneak up to the building 
               and climb clumsily into an open window.  Almost being detected 
               by a RENT-A-COP on patrol.

         149   INT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS - HASAKAMI'S OFFICE

               Merv, Trigg, and Blitz sneak in.  Merv goes up towards the 
               board when the chair swings around with Hasakami in it.  He 
               quickly ducks down in front of the desk.  Blitz and Trigg 
               hide around the corner.

                                   MERV (V.O.)
                         What brilliant plan?  I thought I 
                         was a goner.

         150   EXT. STREET -- LATE AFTERNOON (PRESENT)

                                   BLITZ
                         Yeh, but we got you out. 

                                   MERV
                         Barely.  Then last night Leah 
                         talks me into taking her fiancé 
                         to a hockey game.  And I always 
                         stop by Thursties for a post-game 
                         beer.

                                   BLITZ
                         Never fails.

                         Knock his head off!

                         Yes.  Be knocking head off!

               They laugh. 

                                   MERV
                         You're alright for a crazy camel 
                         tipper.

                                   AHMAD
                         Same to you.  You whacked out 
                         redneck!  I'm so glad we are 
                         bonding like horse substance.

                                   ALL
                         SURPRISE!!!

                              (startled)
                         FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!

               A huge Retirement Banner hangs over the bar.  FAMILY including 
               Aunt Carol and Uncle Charlie, FRIENDS (Blitz, Trigg, and his 
               wife DORLEEN), Joe the Bartender, and CO-WORKERS (including 
               Hasakami) are there to celebrate.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Happy Retirement, Merv!

                                   MERV
                         Surprises, Shirl?  You know what 
                         I think of surprises.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Oh, loosen up for once.  Have a 
                         little fun.  Come on.

               Shane's band kicks it into gear as she grabs Merv's hand and 
               leads him through the crowd of well-wishers.  Merv spots 
               Hasakami and stares at him as Shirley leads him to the front. 
               Hasakami grins evilly as he makes a slashing motion across 
               his throat. 

         152   INT. JAPANESE FIGHTER COCKPIT -- MORNING (ANIMATED) 

               Hasakami is transformed into a Kamikaze Fighter Pilot.  The 
               plane crash dives into a Navy Ship that reads "U.S.S Merv's 
               Pension".  Exploding and sinking into the sea.

         153   INT. THURSTIES -- EVENING

               Shirley pushes Merv into a seat.  Hunter stands up in front 
               of the crowd.

                                   HUNTER
                         Dad, I just wanted to start out 
                         by saying... We Gotchya!

         154   EXT. STREET -- LATE AFTERNOON (PRESENT)

                                   MERV
                         Can you believe that?  A goddamn 
                         prank!

               (ANIMATED) 

               Dorothy, SUPERIMPOSED OVER LIVE-ACTION pops up, slaps Merv 
               across the face, and sticks a bar of soap in his mouth.

                                   DOROTHY
                         Blasphemer!

         155   INT. THURSTIES -- EVENING (FLASHBACK)

                                   HUNTER
                         Don't worry Dad, I'm not staying.  
                         I came home this week just to 
                         help put this party together.  
                         Charlotte helped me get a job as 
                         an animator a few months ago.  
                         And my first short is airing next 
                         week.  But I wanted to premier it 
                         here tonight because it was 
                         inspired by and is dedicated to 
                         you!  Family... Friends... A 
                         glimpse of The Honkees!

         156   "THE HONKEES" (ANIMATED SHORT)

               Begins with a parody of "The Monkees" theme song about 30 
               seconds in length.

         157   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - LIVING ROOM -- MORNING (ANIMATED)

               Hunter, age 12; Leah, age 10, and Shane, age 7, sit around 
               the Christmas tree frantically searching.  A plate of cookies 
               and milk sit on the fireplace mantel.  Untouched.

                                   YOUNG HUNTER
                         Where else could they be?

               Leah rushes out of the room crying.

         158   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - MASTER BEDROOM (ANIMATED)

               Merv and Shirley are getting busy when Leah rushes in and 
               hops in bed between them.

                                   YOUNG LEAH
                         Mommy!  Daddy!  Santa forgot us!   

                                   MERV
                         For the love of Pete!

                                   SHIRLEY
                         What happened?

               Hunter and Shane enter. 

                                   YOUNG SHANE
                         We've been robbed!

                                   YOUNG HUNTER
                         Leah thinks Santa forgot us because 
                         there's no presents under the 
                         tree.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         I'm sure Santa didn't forget.  
                         Merv!  Go find their presents.

               Merv grumpily gets out of bed.

                                   MERV
                         Lousy... rotten... miserable 
                         holidays.

         159   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - MOMENTS LATER (ANIMATED)

               Merv looks around.  The kids look on in eager anticipation. 
               The plate of cookies... the untouched curdled milk.

                                   MERV
                         What can I say?  Maybe you were 
                         all bad this year.

               Leah starts to cry again.  Merv looks at the fireplace.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         Wait a minute! 

               He goes over to the fireplace.  A somewhat charred red Santa 
               suit lays amongst a bunch of ashes.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         Oh crap!  I forgot to put the 
                         fire out last night before I went 
                         to bed.

                                   YOUNG LEAH
                         You killed Santa Claus?

               SFX: A series of thuds from the roof.

                                   MERV
                         What the hell was that?  Hunter 
                         take the rifle.  It may be a 
                         burglar.

                                                                        80.


               Young Hunter's eyes water as he begins to cry.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         Fine ya big baby!  Shane take the 
                         rifle from your brother and follow 
                         me.

         160   EXT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - FRONT YARD -- MOMENTS LATER (ANIMATED)

               Merv and the kids come out to investigate.  Gifts litter the 
               yard.  The Kids CHEER as they attack the presents with wild 
               abandon.  When Leah looks up and is horrified.  Apparently, 
               Hunter and Shane see it simultaneously because it gets really 
               quiet. 

               Stuck in the ground, antlers first, is what appears to be 
               the head of RUDOLPH (red nose and all).  The Kids let lose a 
               SCREAM that can be heard for miles.  Shirley rushes out.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         What's all the screaming about?

               She sees the deer head (Buck's) and hears Merv laughing 
               uncontrollably.  She slaps him across the shoulder.

                                   SHIRLEY (CONT'D)
                         Honestly, Merv.  If you scare 
                         them too much we'll never get 
                         them out of the house when they 
                         get older.

               ENDING CREDITS FLY UP TO ANOTHER RENDITION OF "THE HONKEES" 
               THEME SONG. 

         161   INT. THURSTIES -- CONTINUOUS

               The lights turn on as the crowd chants "Speech, Speech".  
               Merv stands up and quiets them.

                                   MERV
                         Thanks for coming.  I'm not one 
                         for long speeches, or any speeches 
                         for that matter.  So stop waiting 
                         for one and enjoy the party.

               Shane and the guys jam.  Some people dance, others just 
               mingle.  Merv walks through the crowd of WELL-WISHERS who 
               pat him on the back.

               Hunter gives a thumbs up to Shane, who returns it, as he and 
               Charlotte dance up to Leah and Ahmad.

                                   HUNTER
                         Hey sis.  I've gotta tell ya... 
                         the pregnancy and marriage thing 
                         was a little over the top but it 
                         worked great!  Dad fell for it 
                         hook, line, and sinker. 

                                   LEAH
                         What prank?

                                   AHMAD
                         What is hook, line, and stinker? 

               Merv wades through the WELL-WISHERS and by the bar where Joe 
               serves drinks.

                                   JOE THE BARTENDER
                         Hey, Merv.  Your kid's pretty 
                         good.  I've been wanting to attract 
                         a younger crowd.  Think they'd be 
                         interested in playing here more 
                         often?

                                   MERV
                         You mean a job?

                                   JOE THE BARTENDER
                         Yeh.  You could say that.

               He spots Shirley unwrapping some of the goodies with Dorothy 
               at a table.  The urn sits on the table as well.

                                   MERV
                         I'll discuss this with you later.

               He goes up to Shirley...

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         How could you invite that beady-
                         eyed Jap?

                                   SHIRLEY
                         He's your boss.  I thought you'd 
                         want him to be here.

                                   MERV
                         Do me a favor and don't think.  
                         Your brain just cost me my 
                         retirement.

               Shirley doesn't know what to say.  Her eyes well up with 
               tears.  She hands Dorothy the spoon for the goodies she was 
               unwrapping and rushes out.

                                   DOROTHY
                         You always know just what to say, 
                         don't you?
                              (to the urn)
                         John Jacob, you should have knocked 
                         more sense into your son. You 
                         always let him be so lippy.  
                         Thought it was so damn funny.  A 
                         regular Jerry Lewis.  You've 
                         created a monster!

               Lester chases Mina, who drives away from him on her Rascal 
               Cart.

                                   LESTER
                         I'll let you pet my Yoda.

                                   DOROTHY
                         Shirley and the kids worked hard 
                         to make this day special for you.  
                         If I were you... No!  As your 
                         mother I demand you take your 
                         ungrateful behind out there and 
                         apologize.  Now git!

               Dorothy takes the spoon from Merv and spanks him on the butt, 
               goody droppings and all.  Merv heads for the door.  

                                   MERV
                         Shirley!   Wait!  Let's talk!

         162   EXT. THURSTIES/INT. SHIRLEY'S STATION WAGON -- MOMENTS LATER 
               (ANIMATED)

               Merv bounces up and down on the hood of Shirley's station 
               wagon.  Shirley is behind the wheel driving crazily in the 
               parking lot.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Oh now you want to talk.  Always 
                         when it's convenient for you.  
                         Well it's too late, mister.

                                   MERV
                         I'm sorry!  I should have told 
                         you that squint-eyed devil lets 
                         people go right before they retire.  
                         What do you think happened to 
                         Ralph?

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Likely excuse.  Oh lookie there.  
                         A dead bug.  Better clean it off.

               She squirts water on the windshield drenching Merv.

                                   MERV
                         For the Love of Pete!  Thanks for 
                         the bath, Shirl.

               The wipers come to life as they slash back and forth.  Merv 
               looses his grip and slips further down the hood before resting 
               uncomfortably on the hood ornament.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         This retirement thing's been a 
                         complete nightmare.  I just didn't 
                         want to blow our future.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         What future?  You'll probably be 
                         here pouring most of your 
                         retirement money down that ever 
                         expanding belly of yours.  In 
                         fact... I don't think I'm in your 
                         retirement plans at all!

                                   MERV
                         Are you kidding?  My retirement 
                         plans revolve around you.  I've 
                         been dreaming about you in that 
                         sexy lingerie.  You know.  The 
                         one you wore on our honeymoon.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         So that's what all that squirming 
                         and screaming was about.

                                   MERV
                         The squirming... yes.  Now stop 
                         the damn car before you kill me!

               Shirley slams on the brakes.  He flies through the air and 
               lands on the ground.

         163   EXT. THURSTIES -- CONTINUOUS

               Shirley rushes to Merv's aide.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         I'm so sorry.  Oh, you're bleeding!

               She takes off an article of clothing, spits on his head, and 
               holds the cloth there.

         164   INT. THURSTIES -- MOMENTS LATER

               Merv walks in with Shirley.  Blitz and Trigg pull him away.

                         Looks like your goose is cooked.  
                         How'd he find out?

                                   MERV
                         A little birdie named, Shirl.

                         Hey!  What a coincidence.  Your 
                         wife's named Shirl.

                                   MERV
                         Imagine that.

               He looks at Hasakami who sits at the bar.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)
                         Hey, do me a favor.

                                   BLITZ
                         You're buying?  Oh, Merv I like 
                         how you think.  Get him so drunk

                         I remember reading somewhere that 
                         Japanese men can drink a lot and 
                         it doesn't affect them much.

                                   BLITZ

                         And I love money.

                         Then why don't we make it 
                         interesting?  Double my IOU?

                         Count me in.

               Merv exits as Trigg and Blitz go up to Hasakami at the bar.  
               They put their arms around him like they've been pals forever.

                                   TRIGG (CONT'D)

                         comin'!  Merv's payin'!

               They hold up their beers.

                         To Merv!

                                   BLITZ
                         Looks like Woman's Digest's right 
                         again! 'Cause he's still there 
                         with Trigg as I speak...


               Merv realizes...

         166   INSERT (ANIMATED) 

               Merv shoots out of a canon through a glass window that 
               SHATTERS and into a cast iron fan that SPLATS him out like 
               SHIT on the wall behind.

                         the truck.  I'm driving!

               Everybody piles into the tow truck, including Ralph.

         168   INT. THURSTIES

               Trigg and Hasakami sit at the bar, stoned drunk.  Joe the 
               Bartender fixes drinks for other Bar Patrons.

                                   TRIGG

                         for you two.

                         gotta keep this guy drunk so he 
                         forgets about Merv's retirement.

                                   HASAKAMI
                         Shit!  Schidt?  That stupid

                         Stupid hick.  He trick you too!

         169   EXT. THURSTIES -- MOMENTS LATER

               Hasakami and Trigg rush to Hasakami's car, get in, and 
               drunkenly drive away.

               It's a race!  Merv drives Blitz's tow truck wildly through 
               traffic to get to Pay Up Collections first.  Jonas' car 
               fishtailing behind them.

               Hasakami drives his car furiously through the town as well.  
               Trigg holds on for dear life trying not to puke.

               Hunter and Charlotte's plane touches down.

         172   INT. AIRPLANE -- MOMENTS LATER

               Hunter is strapped in his seat.  Charlotte sits next to him 
               as Passengers depart.

                                   CHARLOTTE
                         So?  You ready to behave?

                         Do I have a choice?

               Charlotte plants a huge kiss on his lips.  

               The Pompous Ass exits the bathroom.  A huge mess due to his 
               adventure during the landing.  He feels a RUMBLE and rushes 
               back towards the bathroom, but somebody beats him to it 
               shutting the door.  The Pompous Ass falls to the ground.

               Dr. Gondos finishes the tests on Leah.

               Ahmad paces back and forth, copying the Expectant Fathers.  
               The door opens.  Everybody stops.  Leah storms out.  When 
               the Expectant Fathers notice it isn't their doctor, the pacing 
               resumes.

                                   AHMAD
                         Leah!  How's little Muhammad?

               He rubs her stomach.  She bursts into tears and rushes out.

               and drives off.

               He spots a TAXI and runs in front of it.  The taxi hits him 
               as it screeches to a stop.  Ahmad ends up on the windshield. 

         176   INT. TAXI

               Ahmad rolls off the windshield and falls to the side.  Then

               The ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER leads Yoda out by a leash.  Yoda 
               goes nuts when he sees Lester and vice-versa.  He puts a 
               mangled Hoppy covered with a white wet substance on the 
               counter.  Shirley doesn't know quite how to pick him up.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         What's with all the slobber?

                                   ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER
                         Oh, that's not slobber.  That 
                         little dog's got quite the appetite 
                         for breeding.

               Ahmad's taxi follows the Station Wagon through town.  

               Leah keeps trying to move her veil out of her face to see 
               where she's going.

               Ahmad tries to direct the Taxi Driver who voices his 
               disapproval of his direction. 

         179   INT. BLITZ'S TOW TRUCK (LIVE-ACTION)/EXT. STREET (ANIMATED)

               Merv drives recklessly down the street.  Jonas' car fish-

                         Hold onto your sheet and follow 
                         me now.  Trade that sucker in for 
                         a brand spanking new one.  Take 
                         the wife and skip town for awhile.  
                         That's what I'd do.

                         Like I'll be able to afford a new

                         Oh you'll be able to alright!

               Jonas stomps on Merv's foot that is on the gas peddle.  The 
               tow truck takes off as Merv YELPS in pain. 

         180   EXT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS (ANIMATED)

               The tow truck speeds into the parking lot and skids to a

                         Man, if I had a boss like his and 
                         he tried to pull that lay-off 
                         shit on me.  I don't know... I'd 
                         probably shoot him up like Swiss 
                         Cheese, or something.

               Which gives Ralph an idea.

               Merv rushes in and is greeted by SAMANTHA the receptionist.

                                   SAMANTHA
                         It's about time!  We were wondering 
                         whether or not you'd show up today.

                         Yes, I'm Shirley.  Oh my!  Ed!

               Yoda attaches himself to Ed's leg and humps away.

                                   ED MCMAHON

               Hasakami's car pulls up and skids to a drunken stop, hitting 
               Jonas' car which in turn hits the tow truck.

         189   EXT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS

               Hasakami gets out cursing in Japanese.

                                   JONAS
                         Hey!  Hey!  Hey!  Somebody's got 
                         to pay for that! 

               He inspects the further damage to his car.  Trigg rushes up 
               to Blitz.

                                   TRIGG
                         Merv tricked us!  We're gonna 
                         lose the bet!

                         That damn old skunk!

                         SCHIDT!!!

               Merv stops dead in his tracks.  Turns around.  Hasakami 
               groggily heads towards him.  

               Merv looks up at the clock.  5:25PM.

               Blitz and Trigg rush in and try to get in through the door.

                         Excuse me.  Where do you think 
                         you're going?

                         You'll have to go through me first.

                         Is that so? 

               He flips on the charm and smiles.  Tartared covered teeth 
               and all.  He walks up to Samantha.

         192   INT. PAY UP COLLECTIONS - MERV'S CUBICLE/HALLWAY

               It's a stand-off.  Hasakami makes his way down the hall.  
               Merv takes a deep breath.  Everybody looks on in anticipation.  
               And just as Hasakami gets to Merv and reaches into his pocket.  
               Ralph, armed with a small pistol, steps in his path.

                                   RALPH
                         Mr. Crapasaki.  I've got a bone 
                         to pick with you.

               Hasakami is taken aback.  Ralph, a bit unstable, appears 
               very determined to take him out.

                                   HASAKAMI
                         Ralph?

                                   RALPH
                         I'm surprised you even remembered 
                         my name.  After today you'll never 
                         forget it.  Well at least until 
                         you die. 

                                   HASAKAMI
                         This not like you.  I glad I let 
                         you go.  You madman!

                         That's right!  I'm completely 
                         insane!  Your creation, Dr.

                                   RALPH
                         No way!  I've got nothing left to 
                         live for.  I'm gonna enjoy this.

                         No.  Give him gun.

               Suddenly the PHONE RINGS startling Ralph.  Everyone SCREAMS 
               and fall to the ground.

               He hangs up the phone.  Then realizes... picks up his stuff 
               and heads for the door.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)

               Blitz, his hair messed up and covered with make-up, and Trigg 
               finally get through the door as Merv is on his way out.

                                   BLITZ
                         We're on to you pal.

                         I made it!  I made it!

               Everybody except Blitz and Trigg cheer!  Ralph pulls the 
               trigger.  Hasakami SCREAMS as water squirts him in the face.

                                   HASAKAMI

                         And I love money.

               Trigg whimpers as he hands Merv the black book.  Merv hands 
               it to Ralph.

                                   MERV (CONT'D)

         197   EXT. PARK - PLAYGROUND

               Ahmad walks towards Leah, who cries as she swings.  He comes 
               up behind her.

                                   AHMAD
                         Why did you not stop for me? 

                                   LEAH
                         My dad always took me to this 
                         park.  He used to swing me in 
                         this same swing.  I dreamed of 
                         the day I could do the same for 
                         my kid.

                                   AHMAD
                         And you will.

                                   LEAH
                         The doctor told me I'm not 
                         pregnant.

                                   AHMAD
                         Not pregnant!?  What are you 
                         meaning?

                                   LEAH
                         I'm not pregnant.  Something about 
                         fluoride and...

         198   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - BATHROOM -- EVENING (ANIMATED)

               Yoda swims around in the toilet as Lester picks up a pregnancy 
               test from the sink, puts toothpaste on it, and proceeds to 
               brush his gums with it.

         199   EXT. PARK - PLAYGROUND -- LATE AFTERNOON

               Leah takes off the veil and gives it to Ahmad.

                                   LEAH
                         I'm sorry Ahmad.  Here's your 
                         veil.

                                   AHMAD
                         You are not wanting to marry me 
                         any more?

                                   LEAH
                         Of course I still want to marry 
                         you.  It's just that... I just 
                         can't stand this veil.  It gets 
                         in my way.  I can't eat, I can't 
                         see.  I don't know where to put 
                         it when I go to the restroom.

                                   AHMAD
                         I did not ask you to be my partner 
                         in life because of the former 
                         Muhammad or the veil.  I am loving 
                         you with all my heart.  I want 
                         you to be happy.  In fact... I am 
                         believing we should settle down 
                         in this fabulous town and start a 
                         most wonderful family.

                                   LEAH
                         You mean it?

                                   AHMAD
                         I would not let the words come 
                         forth out of my mouth if I did 
                         not mean them.  Besides, I would 
                         like very much to see another 
                         hockey game.  The violence is 
                         like nothing I have ever witnessed.  
                         And who knows I could be opening 
                         mosque right here in town.

         200   INT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - KITCHEN -- EARLY EVENING

               Shirley talks to Winnie on the phone.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         You should've seen it.  I was so 
                         shocked.

               Yoda goes into the bathroom with Lester.  A HUGE HORN BLASTS!

                                   SHIRLEY (CONT'D)
                         Good Lord!

                                   WINNIE (V.O.)
                         It's Arch Angel Gabriel's trumpet!

               The HORN KEEPS HONKING.  Shirley peeks out the front window.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         And he's blowing it in my driveway.

         201   EXT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - FRONT YARD/DRIVEWAY

               Shirley comes out.  Merv waves out the window of a huge, 
               brand spanking new motorhome.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Are you crazy?

                                   MERV
                         Crazy for you, baby.

               Shirley walks up to the motorhome.  Merv jumps out.  Grabs 
               her and plants a juicy wet kiss on her lips.  She struggles 
               for air.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Good grief!  At least let me come 
                         up for air!

               She playfully slaps him across the shoulder.  Jonas and Winnie 
               come out of their house.

                                   WINNIE
                         I don't believe it! 

                                   JONAS
                         Looks like somebody took a fuzzy's 
                         advice.

                                   MERV
                         And why not?  It's the best advice 
                         I've ever gotten.  Here's some 
                         money to fix your car.  

               He hands Jonas an envelope.

                                   WINNIE
                         Merv, you didn't have to do that.

                                   JONAS
                         Yes he did, Winnie. 

               He goes through the bills.

                                   JONAS (CONT'D)
                         There's like thirty grand in here! 

                                   MERV
                         The rest is for the roof.

                                   JONAS
                         I could use a new power sander.  
                         You wanna come over and bust it? 

               Merv, Shirley, and Winnie laugh.

                                   JONAS (CONT'D)
                         I'm serious.  I can go get it. 

                                   MERV
                         Winnie, do me a favor and give 
                         this envelope to Leah, but not 
                         Shane.  I repeat, not Shane.

               from their confrontation with J.T. watch an old television

                                   SHIRLEY
                         Why?

                                   MERV
                         Because it would be the only way 
                         his wife woule ever visit him.

                                   SHIRLEY
                         My Merv's back!  What took you so 
                         long?

                                   MERV
                         We had kids.

         207   EXT. ROAD -- SUNSET

               The New Motorhome cruises south.  On the back a sign reads: 
               "IF THIS RV'S ROCKIN', DON'T COME A KNOCKIN'."

                                   SHIRLEY (V.O.)
                         I have the funniest feeling.  
                         Like I forgot something.

         208   EXT. SCHMIDT HOUSE - DRIVEWAY -- CONTINUOUS

               Blitz's tow truck backs up to the Old Motorhome.  Shane's 
               band practices.  And Lester, he's on the toilet calling...

                                   LESTER (V.O.)
                         Shirley!  Come Wipe My Ass!

                                                                  FADE OUT:

               ROLL CREDITS - CREDITS END

         209   INT. OLD MOTORHOME -- MOMENTS LATER (ANIMATED)

               Buck, Skitso, and a messed up Hoppy are in their usual spots.  
               The motorhome shakes.

                                   HOPPY
                         What the hell was that?

                                   SKITSO
                         It's a tow truck and it's taking 
                         us away!

                                   BUCK
                         It is? 

                                   HOPPY
                         Get real.  We're Merv's treasures.

                                   SKITSO
                         Yeh.  Yeh!  Mervie would never 
                         get rid of us!

                                   BUCK
                         So, Hoppy?  Does your date with 
                         Yoda count as tail?

                                   HOPPY
                         Shut up.

               Buck and Skitso laugh as Hoppy yells "Shut up!"

               FADE TO BLACK.

                                     THE END
