Scene 15

SA-1:

That's good.

PANEL CREW: (O.S.)

How fast do you want it to scroll?

SA-1:

Make it controllable by the TV RC

here so we can go back to some lines

if needed, okay?

PANEL CREW: (O.S.)

Okay . . . sending now.

The TV screen gets garbled and distorted. Turns black. Then sky blue. From the top left corner, a comet like icon darts to the center of the screen, explodes and forms the words, "WELCOME TO DOORS 10,000,001" with a door logo like Windows on the top right hand corner of the screen. A female voice on screen gives instructions . . .

TV VOICE:

PRESS 1 for our script; PRESS 2 for

the local script of your area.

MA-1 presses 2 on the TV remote . . .

TV VOICE:

Your area indicates several types

of script: Press 1 for Chinese;

Press 2 for English; Press 3 for

Span . . .

(MA-1 presses 2)

Thank you, the message will appear

In three… two… one…

The screen displays the following . . .

ON SCREEN DISPLAY:

The Human Altered Gene: It is

different from that of our kind.

It exhibits Uncontrollable Stubbornness

Characteristics. It took more than

ten million laser blasts and nuclear

hits to get the damn DNA to submission.

It is human nature. Therefore, the

solution made to propagate the altered

gene remains stable only for three days

in human body. Even less with constant

exposure to its regular environment.

Any further genetic code alteration

will cause it to result in Ancestral

Ape-like genes.

- END OF REPORT -

The aliens shut down the TV. All staring at it for a few seconds, then look at each other.

SA-1:

(in disbelief)

It looks like our efforts were only

for a trial of three days or less.

MA-2:

Do we go back to our planet and

forget about converting earth?

MA-1 half lain on bed playing with a test tube . . .

MA-1:

Is it possible that we do something

for a few being's sake?

SA-1:

What do you mean?

MA-1:

Uhhhh… for the sake of Dan, Pamela,

the Makers, their fans --- probably

for us too?

MA-2:

Why not SA-1? Anyway this is an

experiment and we have to try.

SA-1:

Well, if your sentiments are the

same, then I have to go along with

it. But --- the experiment will be

on us. . .

Taken by surprise, the two other aliens sit up erect and looking at SA-1 as if asking Why? How?. . .

SA-1: (cont'd)

Starting tomorrow we stop taking the

suppressant pills for the gene. We

eat regular human meals and not rely

on our pill meals. How do you like

that?

Some quiet in the room. SA-1 observes the two others who couldn't look at him. They concentrate on what to decide.

MA-1:

(looking at MA-2)

Okay, we did some experiment on a

lot of them. It's fair that an

experiment on us is also done.

MA-2:

(nodding with head down)

That's right. We wanted them to be

fair, let's be fair to them.

Their hands on top of one another like that of a basketball team they consent and shout "Fight!".

INT./EXT. – MOTEL ROOM, CAFÉ & SPACESHIP – FOLLOWING DAY

The aliens rise around six in the morning. Gather their pill ration, look at each other. SA-1 scoops the pills on a paper napkin; wraps it closed; proceeds to the bathroom and flushes it down.

SA-1:

Now let's have breakfast at the Park

Café and lets see how it is like to

be a human being.

INT. – SPACESHIP

Worried about any feedback, TA-1 and SA-2 are behind the Panel Crew awaiting any news from the trio.

SA-2:

Has any of them given a feedback on

the effects of the solution on humans?

PANEL CREW(female):

None so far, after they inquired on

the details of the solution.

TA-1:

Just curious, can you make an

anatomical scan on them?

PANEL CREW:

Yes, our satellite near earth can

detect them and do a scan.

TA-1:

Make a scan that will determine if

their genes remain unaffected by the

suppressant pills.

The panel crews activate the satellite's invisible scanning beam directed on the trio having breakfast on a park picnic table. The image shows the trio seated. As the beam is strengthened, the anatomy of the trio is shown. Twenty-five percent of their body in different parts are red and about fifty percent of the brain. As they eat, the red portions slowly enlarge.

SA-2 alarmed by the scan image . . .

SA-2:

They are starting to adopt human

emotions and tissues. And they are

eating earth food that seems to

stimulate it.

TA-1:

Does that mean the suppressant

pills are not working?

PANEL CREW(male):

That's what the scan detects and

shows.

TA-1:

Let's just hope that SA-1 is aware

of it and they don't go past the

critical point.

EXT. – BACK TO EARTH

The aliens are enjoying their breakfast, unaware of the scan being done on them. They start to have more human emotion expressions. Wider smiles; bigger eyes; frowns; pouts and many other facial expressions. Even in body English.

SA-1:

Let's say, we go around L.A. after

this, fine with you?

MA-2 licking the remnants of food from his fingers . . .

MA-2:

We'll learn more from that . . .

MA-1:

Why don't we take along Dan and

Pamela, they could show us around

more!

MA-2:

(taking his cellphone)

Good idea! Reminds me… today's the

third day after we infected them…

they should be feeling well now!

In a three-way conference, MA-2 calls Hill and Pamela.

INTERCUT:

MA-2:

Hi! How are the two of you doing?

PAMELA:

I'm feeling much better now!

DAN HILL:

Same here . . . I thought I was

going down with a flu!

MA-2:

Good! Then you can come with us

to spend some time and money we've

got!

PAMELA:

Really! Can we go shopping for

me! I could use some new clothes!

MA-2:

No problem, we'll wait for you here

at the park where we had breakfast,

remember?

DAN HILL:

Consider us there!

EXT. – STREETS OF L.A. – SERIES OF SHOTS

The eagerness of the group is seen when Pamela and Hill arrive separately. Smiles on their face show with MA-2 putting his arms around Pamela's waist. The rest, high fives and give-me fives about yesterday's game.

Seen from their backs, they walk alongside diminishing into one of the streets of L.A. We breeze thru the scenes:

- into a shopping mall, clothes, sporting goods, scents etc.

- peeping into entertainments with "come ons".

- in theme parks with carnival rides and circus shows.

- in the busy business district; trades of people.

- street musicians; dancers; rappers etc.

- fastfood areas and specialties.

- commuting on trams, streetcars and buses.

- different kinds of neighborhoods.

Exhausted but contented, we see the group discussing with gestures showing, "your place or my place".

DAN HILL:

I insist on my place 'coz none of

you has been there.

EXT./INT. – DAN HILLS HOUSE – DUSK

Everyone agrees. A cab brings them to a decent neighborhood and stops in front of a fair sized bungalow.
