My Script Rewrite

Operation T.R.A.F.F.I.C

Too
Racy
And
Final
For

Cars

This one started out as a script idea for a cars movie. In this scene a new character is being introduced. A prius. In this scene we learn that the prius’ name is Pat.

Scene begins across the street from the filling station in radiator springs. The station is full and there are a few cars waiting in line. Three friends ‘mater, lightning, and sally carrera are talking together. It is another slow day along the mother road, route sixty six. Al least it was a slow day until the filling station filled up.

sally:"What a line over there at the filling station, I hope that neither of you is in a hurry."
‘mater: "Nope, filled up this morning! Seen any blue cars?"
lightning: "No, but I saw a yellow one. Hey, who is that?"

[a prius has pulled-in to the radiator springs filling station, a little tired after a long day on the road]

‘mater: "That one looks friendly."
lightning: "Is that one of those new hybrids?"
sally "maybe she could use a place to stay this evening!"

No one had seen a hybrid car in radiator springs before this day. The three friends look at each other and nod silently. They begin to move toward the prius. Hybrid. Whatsoever.

lighning: [saunter]
sally: [dance]
‘mater: [sashay]

[All three friends begin talking at once]
+
sally:"Hello my name is 'sally carrera' and I would like to welcome you to radiator springs, here is a nice motel with clean rooms and a continental breakfast!"
lightning: "lightning name is the name, you may have seen me on television or something and I am really glad to meet you!"
‘mater: "Howdy stranger, I am tow mater the biggest, strongest tow truck in these parts!"

Pat: "Well…" [takes a half step back]
[three friends notice that they are crowding, and draw back half a step as well]
Pat: "…okay, my name is Pat."

All three friends begin talking at once.
+
Sally: "I hope to see you at the motel!"
Lighning: "Psst, stay away from the leaded premium fuel, it is very old."
‘mater: "If you need a tow, just holler!" (giggle)

Pat: "I might be staying overnight. How far is it to the next town?"

sally:"About one hundred sixty miles going that way" [She points with here eyes glancing].

Pat: "A hundred sixty miles…(yawn) "

[ ‘mater and sally exchange glances ]

‘mater: "So, Prius…"

Pat: " Yes), (whinny), ( I am a prius!)"
_
'mater: : …are you a boy car… or a girl car" ?

Pat: "Yes! I am also a dry car!"

sally: "You are in luck, the line is moving!".

[As Pat turns away from the three and over to the gas pump, we can see a "clean vehicle" sticker on his/her back bumper. Once at the pump, she turns around and is once again facing the three friends although from a distance ].

lighning: "Well, boy or girl that new car sure is cute."

‘mater: "Sure is. I’d like to know some more about that. What was that on her back bumper? "

sally [makes a gasp! Exclamation! It might be from the conversation, or ]

lightning: "That looks like a clean air vehicle sticker! I would like to have one of those!"

[P.O.V. sally makes eye contact with Pat who gives sally an interested smile. Pat is stepping sideways toward the fuel pump and gives the pump a little fanny rub action.]

[ P.O.V. From afar, that is from across the street, Pat sees sally acting a little confused, while ‘mater and lightning are prattling on although we can’t hear what ‘mater and lightning y are saying as they compare one car’s looks with another. ]

[ P.O.V. sally sees the fuel nozzle being inserted into Pat. Pat moans a little and shivers at the penetration. ]

[ P.O.V. Pat sees that sally is a little bit uncomfortable or embarrassed.]

Pat: "Hmm hee hee hee " (giggles to herself then closes her eyes and moans as the fuel nozzle is pushed all the way in and begins fueling).

[ P.O.V. Pat sees the three friends across the street, ‘mater has noticed that sally is both excited and confused, while lightning is talking about something else entirely. In the middle distance, can be seen the main plot line. ‘maters face shows surprise in reaction to sally‘s discomfort ]

‘mater: "Wha ???"
[ lightning keeps talking ]

‘mater: "Sorry to interrupt, but it looks like you have a customer!"
lightning: "What customer?
‘mater : "At the motel…"
sally: "Oh, yes! A customer!" [sally hurries over to the motel ]
[as sally is behind her check-in counter, in her proper place (whew!), sally looks out the window towards Pat in the filling station. Pat returns her gaze unashamedly].

[sally continues the check-in process for (A CUSTOMER) although she seems distracted and has trouble spelling the customer’s name or repeating his phone number correctly.]

[ Pat leaves the filling station, and lightning is immediately at his/her side as they motor off down the road. Pat easily falls into step, wheel to wheel, with a clumsy lightning ]

lightning: "Since you are new around here, why not allow me to show you around?"

Pat: "…around? " [Pat looks at desert, one-street town, the flying-saucer shaped butte, ] "Oh I guess that’s around!" [ indicating the butte].

lightning "Around? A round? Oh, because it’s round!"

Pat: "That’s right! Nothing much to see or do around here. "

Lightning: "There’s more to see. Up the hill. Around the bend. A secret place. C’mon, let me show you!"

Pat: "Well, alright, but you must promise to bring me right back, right here, as soon as I want to."

lightning: "Yes, we will return here again. I live here! In radiator springs". {lightning looks at the "radiator springs city limit" sign, as the sign is laying on the ground.)

[Pat and lightning motor off together].

lightning (to himself) catch phrase!

Back at the motel, ‘mater says: "I wonder where they’re gong?"
sally says : "They had better not! He had better not…"
_ - _ _ _ - - - _ _ - _
(eventually a few scenes and the next day later )
!
[sally is angry with lightning because he showed Pat where the secret spot is located]
sally: "How could you take Pat to our secret spot?"
lighting: "I like it so much I wanted to share it with somebody".
sally:"Grrr". [Sally drives around and around lightning as if she was a crazed porcupine.]
!
lightning: "I am dizzy. And confused. How did you know? "
sally: "Pat told me about this during our continental breakfast. We gossip".

Operation F.U.T.U.R.A.M.A.

Re-write the script for futurama. The three friends are scruffy (instead of tow mater), bender (instead of lightning), and aimee (instead of sally). Pat is a hybrid robot (instead of a prius).

Young woman aimee has been paying more attention to scruffy since the body swap fiasco The Prisoner Of Benda. She seems to enjoy scruffy’s companionship, from a distance. The robot bender seems to have the temporary job of keeping scruffy and aimee separated. So there they are all three, facing the road. Across the road is an electric robot recharging stand. There on a sidewalk, next to this road is an electric robot recharging stand.

The newly arrived robot Pat uses hybrid propulsion. Pat is the first of a new generation of clean robots that are intended to replace the previous generation of gross polluting robots as seen in Crimes Of The Hot. Instead of a filling station of fossil (polluting) fuel, here is an electric robot recharging station filled with (non-polluting) electric energy.

Robot bending unit bender has no idea why any an electric robot recharging station might exist. Bender has no need of any electric robot recharging station. Or does he ?

The scene above is re-written with the same dialogue again. The prius technology becomes our friend, the hybrid robot Pat. Non polluting green robot Pat. (She is not really green color, she is a green robot).

The hybrid robot PAT, who might be a boy robot or a girl robot, becomes a running character in the next few episodes. We never know when she will pop up for some reason.

Intelligent Marsupials From Outer Space
In a later episode which includes intelligent marsupials from outer space, there will be a few references to the marsupial pouch and why it’s good to have a pouch. Robot pouch gag has Pat climbing inside of bender’s stomach, a.k.a. pouch, to perform some maintenance tasks. Bender starts calling that stomach cavity his "pouch" as if he was a different kind of robot, part human robot (with stomach) and part marsupial robot (with pouch).

As an upgrade, to prevent bender from going to the "Gross Polluting Robot Scrapheap", ( again Crimes Of The Hot. ), bender decides to have his propulsion system upgraded to be a green propulsion system. It turns out that Pat the robot has been given this important task. Pat is converting Bender into a plug in electric robot. Bender is going to become a clean-air robot. Bender wants a clean-air robot sticker. Not everyone in the cast, the crew, the audience, or even those people reading this script, knows that bender is walking around with Pat inside of bender’s pouch. Thus is our little secret.

When Bender plugs in to an electric robot recharging station, he shakes and vibrates as if he is having a lot of fun. B-b-b-b-b!

aimee: "For chuzpahs sake, Bender! That’s enough! We have to go meet with professor stroganoff". [ aimee unplugs bender from the electric robot recharging station. ]

[aimee walks away and doesn’t see benders pouch open up. Pat sticks her head out ]

Pat: "You know, Bender, I am nowhere near being done in here!"
bender " I know, I know, honey. Lets go where this robot body needs to be and then I will plug in again". Pat gives bender a wink, then closes his stomacchh… oops, that is to say, pouch. Robot bender is pretending to be a marsupial robot.

[aimee and bender return to the hangar building and work with professor stroganoff to get things done. Occasionally a clank sound is followed by bender’s reaction as though he has a baby kicking inside]. Time passes and eventually..

professor: "Okay that’s finished!"
Bender: "Okay I am out of here!" [bender quickly leaves and goes out into the street] .

bender: [outside on the sidewalk] "Heh heh heh, now to find another electric robot recharging station!"

[inside the building] aimee: "I am worried about bender, going from station to station all the time!"
professor: "Yes, I share your concern."
aimee: What can we do about this while working together? Something positive!
professor": "I will.."
aimee "harrunph!:
professor: "We will invent e newer, better electric robot recharging station and have it installed here."
aimee: "Hooray, then we can all watch! The robots recharge."

[outside on the sidewalk, final gag before closing credits]
Bender (connected to electric robot recharging station ) [happy] " B-b-b-b-b! B-b-b-b-b! B-b-b-b-b! B-b-….(poot). Oh dang, hey!"

electric robot recharging station: "Ding. Robot recharge time limit exceeded. Please disconnect!"

bender: "Dawww! Give me a break! I am charging for two here!"
[bender unplugs and plugs in four times in a row]

electric robot recharging station: "Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh!"
