## Transcripts

### SCENE 1: Edge of Overload

EXT. Coyote Skull. Chaos. Running. Screaming. Fires. The COLOSSUS audibly receding into the distance.

MORRIS:

Damage control crews to the gate! Fire control crews FORM ON ME! Sketchy can we get eyes on the Colossus?!

SKETCHY:

Yes…we…(frantic typing noises) CAN…Hacked two of their Drones and we’ve got them…oh no…Morris, Dustcaps 5 and 10 are guiding in that trader convoy. The Colossus is going to plough right through them and comms on’t have the power to get a warning out there!

MORRIS:

I’m getting the hot rod

SKETCHY:

MORRIS.

MORRIS:

Fastest vehicle we have left.

SKETCHY:

It’s a treadmill, a rocket engine and a steering column, man!

MORRIS:

I put the stereo in.

FX: TARP pulled back.

MORRIS:

That’s my girl.

SKETCHY:

Dustcap! Meet Morris’ midlife crisis. Yes that IS a treadmill. Yes he HAS rigged the engine so your one horsepower becomes TOO MANY AND YES THAT IS A \*JET\*. ENGINE. Strap in, get running, he’ll steer. I’ll guide you to Buster’s location.

MORRIS:

When this baby gets up to 88, you’re going to s

SKETCHY:

RUN, Dustcap.

### SCENE 2: Redline Fever

EXT. Dustlands. Wind whistling by. Jet engine. Sound of COLOSSUS in the middle distance. Gets closer over the scene.

SKETCHY:

Congratulations, you are somehow not dead! And cruising at a smooth 85 KPH. (Gets serious)

SKETCHY:

I rerouted some power, got through to Dustcaps 5 and 10 at that convoy. They’re trying to move it but it’s a thousand people. Work miracles, friends. Work them fast. Colossus is coming up on your left.

FX: Arrow whizzes by

Dustcap! You’re getting company!

MORRIS:

We need to stop that truck without killing everyone aboard. You remember the fire suppressors you hit the first time? Same spots have the jake brakes, the pneumatic brakes for each section. Hit them, hold on,hit the next one. It’s going to get ROUGH. Every brake you hit will turn a section of that truck into an angry, jack-knifing brick.

FX: Dogs howl

Oh come on! They’ve got a portable HAMELIN with them too! You’ve got a pack of feral dogs inbound. Work fast. Ready? JUMP!

FX: TYRES SCREECH

FX: ARROWS HISS

### SCENE 3: Jake Brake Boogie

EXT. Roof of the COLOSSUS

SKETCHY:

Keep moving! I’m losing those drones I hacked and Morris is taking fire!

FX: VULTURE SCREECH

And so are you! 10 vultures, stay low keep moving, truck’ll out run them!

FX: VULTURE SCREECH

Or maybe not!

FX: VULTURE HISS

DAMN it, one of them’s on the brake. YELL! LOOK BIG! MAYBE YOU’LL SCARE IT AWAY!

FX: VULTURE SQUEALS, FLAPS

You’re okay, you’re okay, I’m so sorry, just keep moving, we’ll get you patched up! There! Big yellow lever! Pull that, it’ll trigger the brakes and DO NOT LET GO!

FX: JAKE BRAKES TRIGGER, SCREAM AS THE TRUCK SKEWS SIDEWAYS

SKETCHY:

Morris, get out of there! Dustcap, hang ooooon!

FX: TRUCK SCREECHING STOPS. SOUND OF WHEELS HITTING TARMAC

SKETCHY:

GREAT! GO! Next brake is up ahead!

FX: SMASHING WINDOWS. ARKIST BATTLE CRIES.

SKETCHY:

DO NOT look! Keep running! Hit that second jake brake and

FX: GUNFIRE

SKETCHY:

DOWN! SLIDE! That’s it! Time this right it’ll work just like last time, they’ll get thrown off and you won’t. Ready? BRACE! NOW!

FX: Second jake brake triggers.

FX: Arkists yell as they’re thrown overboard.

SKETCHY:

Okay that got some of them! Great, just one more brake and you need to hit that now because we are RIGHT on that convoy!

FX: The wet, fleshy sound of an arrow impacting the meat of a human leg.

FX: A SOUND WE’VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE. THE HIGH, PIERCING SHRIEK OF A HALCYON SUIT DAMAGE ALARM. IT TRILLS THREE TIMES, THEN STOPS.

SKETCHY:

DUSTCAP SPEAK TO ME! Your Halcyon suit is damaged, your internal temperature is rising. The self-repair kit will fix it listen LISTEN! IT DIDN’T HIT ANYTHING IMPORTANT I know it hurts. DO NOT STOP. PLEASE.

FX: DRONE NOISES

FX: ARKISTS BEHIND THE DUSTCAP

SKETCHY:

OH NO. I lost the drones back and they are right on you!

I fitted jump jets too. Punching the drones with a flying car in 3.

FX: MORRIS’S HOT ROD BOOST UP AND SIDEWAYS INTO THE DRONES. FX: MASSIVE EXPLOSION:

FX: THUD AS MORRIS HITS THE ROOF OF THE TRUCK

SKETCHY:

Dustcap, catch him! MORRIS, HANG ON! THAT’S IT! The brake’s right there, hit it and…HOLD ON!!!

FX: SCREEECHING, TRUCK SKIDS AND…HOLDS AND COMES TO A HALT.

SKETCHY:

You did it!

CLARK:

That. Is. ENOUGH!

CLARK:

We will duel. You and I. Here. NOW. For the soul of the Dustland. If you win, we will withdraw back to the Junk Wastes. WHEN I win, we will sweep the monkeys from the Earth and conquer EVERYTHING. We will save you. WE WILL SAVE YOU ALL.

### SCENE 5: Straight on ‘til Morning

EXT. Dustlands soundscape.

SKETCHY:

Update time. The Arkists are n custody and about to spend some time on the Farm, Morris looks almost as bad as you but you’ll both be fine. Buster disassembled the Bingy Stick and every HAMELIN receiver will be found and shut down. Oh and Buster? Your family are on the way here. Your gran said how proud she was.

BUSTER:

AWWWW!

SKETCHY:

And that, and this is a quote, ‘no ape on Earth has ever been more grounded than you are.’

BUSTER:

Awwwww (Disappointed) Righty right! Lots to do, stuff to break, ponchos to wear.

…

…

(VERY serious here.)

Thank you. You saved our lives. You will always have a home with us. No back will ever be turned to you.

SKETCHY:

Family, Buster.

BUSTER:

Next time, you’re coming to our place, and it’s on us. I’ll even share my chips. Keep this Dustcap safe, Sketchy.

‘Til my dying day. Which won’t be for centuries if I have anything to do with it. We’ll see you soon, Buster. Stay out of trouble, yeah?

UNLIKELY

FX: ALERT NOISE IN SKETCHY’S OFFICE

SKETCHY:

…I’ll have someone else handle that.
