Scene 12
SA-1:
(shaking Hill)
QUICK! You have to drive us to the motel, we're expecting a business call today!
Far from sober, Hill starts the car, slowly finds the way to the motel of the aliens. Getting there, no good-byes and see-yous, the aliens scramble to their room. Without the key, they rush to the front desk then back to their room. They look around to see if any bird is in the room. Looking outside the bathroom window. Meanwhile, Hill drives the girls to their apartment.
INT. – MOTEL ROOM - DAY
They wait uneasily for a bird to land at the bathroom window. Soon enough a crow perches on the sill. They retrieve the crow and set it open on the bed. An instruction voice says:
RC CRAFT VOICE:
The solution inside the test tubes will be good for a million human beings regardless of sex and race. Simply apply a drop on the skin or any food/liquid intake. Full conversion of genes in human body takes effect after rest or sleep of four earth hours.
SA-1:
We have to plan how to conveniently use these on the people.
MA-2:
Who first then who next . . .
MA-1:
Dan Hill and Pamela first, right?
MA-2:
Then who next?
SA-1:
THE NEW JERSEY BETS!!!
The aliens look at each other approvingly of the scheme.
Immediately, MA-2 goes to the room phone. Calls Pamela, then Dan Hill to arrange for a date with them.
MA-2:
Why don't we have lunch together? We just concluded a business that paid well!
PAMELA: (O.S.)
It's only ten in the morning and I still have a terrible hangover. .
MA-2:
After all those drinks last night, real good food will do miracles, then sleep it off in the afternoon.
PAMELA: (O.S.)
Okay . . . so where?
MA-1:
At the Juicy Fins Resto?
Shifting scene in Pamela's room as she drops the receiver with the other hand on her forehead. . .
PAMELA:
I'll meet you there . . .
MA-2 quickly punches in Hill's number. Goes thru the same invitation. In less than a minute . . .
MA-2:
So, we'll see you and Pamela there,
Okay?
He turns to his fellow aliens. Mistakenly holds up a dirty finger, quickly closed by the other hand and converts it to a thumbs up sign.
INT. – JUICY FINS RESTAURANT – NOON
The aliens enter the door met by the head waiter. Escorts them to a table for six, with semi circle seats, at the farthest corner. They check on the test tubes in their pockets. Trying to position themselves where Hill and Pamela should be ideally seated. Soon, we see Pamela enter the door in a very revealing outfit with minis that look more like 'undies'. She looks around. A waiter approaches her and points to where the aliens are. She walks casually towards them.
MA-2:
Hi, Pamela! We're having lunch and
not going for a swim!
PAMELA:
INSULTING IDIOT!
SA-1 whispering to MA-1 . . .
SA-1:
MA-2 is always given an easy job . . .
MA-1:
Yeah, I hope Hill will be in the
same outfit.
As he was saying that, Hill enters the restaurant, dressed in sports coat. Pauses for a while to locate them. Points to them and walks over.
DAN HILL:
Hi guys! Looks like you made some
big kill again!
SA-1:
Sit down and help us in the menu.
DAN HILL:
Good, good, you know the guy who
has a good taste for food!
Two to a menu, SA-1 on his own, they browse on it. Hill points to the list of seafoods, while Pamela with MA-2, points to beef steaks. On the ends of the seat, is Hill on one, and MA-2 on the other. The waiter first serves them a bowl of bird's nest soup then pours wine in their glasses. For Hill and Pamela, they take the soup as quick as they can to somewhat relieve their hangovers. The waiter comes with the main dishes of lobster, crab and sizzling steaks. Before starting with the main dish, MA-1 beside Hill, excuses himself. Hill gets up to let him pass. As he passes by the wine glass of Hill, he drops some solution of altered genes, while MA-2 draws Pam's attention.
At that point, MA-2 takes the test tube under the table. Dips his middle finger in it. Then, holds the thigh of Pamela and grips as if pumping. Carefully pocketing the test tube in the process. SA-1 and Hill are busy with their lobsters. MA-1 returns to the table after a while. Watching them eat with little conversation is like a mother's joy watching her children eat. Their lunch was unforgiving and nothing left for the dogs. Like contented cows, they get up and before going out the door . . .
DAN HILL:
Guys, the fifth game will be on the
next day after tomorrow at the Bets'
venue, shall I buy our tickets for
that?
SA-1:
Yeah, sure! Here's some money for
the game and plane tickets. It's
on us!
DAN HILL:
You guys really do some good
business huh?
Moving on their way out of the door . . .
MA-2:
Keep helping us . . . we might just
cut you in on some deals.
PAMELA:
That includes me, right? It's tough
getting a job—
Outside, the group go on their own way.
EXT. – L.A. AIRPORT TERMINAL – FOLLOWING DAY
The aliens alight a cab. Check some things in their pocket then proceed to the passenger's lounge. They find Hill and amazed to see Pamela with him. They are not their usual. There's something wrong. As they come along together . . .
DAN HILL:
There's a feeling I can't understand . . .
PAMELA:
Same with me --- it's like . . .
nothing's interesting . . .
SA-1 reassuringly tells both . . .
SA-1:
You'll soon understand that kind
of feeling, we've been having it
for some time.
They board the plane to New Jersey. In a zip, the trip was over. At the terminal lounge of the New Jersey airport, in a low voice the aliens discuss . . .
MA-1:
How can we get these solutions to the
Bets' team?
SA-1:
We'll have to ask Dan how the Bets
are quartered before their games.
They approach Hill, still looking uncertain about himself.
MA-2:
Dan, how are the teams handled just
before their games? Do each player
go home?
DAN HILL:
Sometimes a week or a few days
before their game, they stay in
just one place. Most of the time
they stay in a hotel before game
day.
MA-2:
Hmmmmm… that's a nice a way to keep
the team spirit, huh?
Overhearing Hill . . .
