ACT 10:(I could control your free will)

INT. LECTURER’S BRAIN – DAY

josh

We’re walking out here. No action.

Just a dark slimy place filled with…

barimah

Be stealth JOSH.

josh

…I thought there was supposed to be an action in here.

Just a dark slimy place filled with… (He says in a digestive tone)

josh

Ahh… (he shrieks). something just bit me.

A slimy meaty creature, (light orange less than 0.5 transparency coloured, with guts floating inside.

barimah

Let me see that. Holy fuck JOSH. This man’s mind is sick JOSH.

josh

Huh…

barimah

He has a tumour JOSH.

josh

Ohh…

barimah

It’s grown so much that they’ve become co-dependent.

josh

Huhh… oh man.

barimah

Yeah, JOSH. It sees us as threats and is producing antibodies to fight us.

josh

Does that mean we are going to die?

barimah

Not if we start killing these motherfuckers, JOSH.

BARIMAH takes out a gun and starts shooting at the antibodies marching against them.

josh

Ahhh… BARIMAH, I don’t feel good.

barimah

Quick hop on my back.

JOSH faints.

barimah

Ahh!

Barimah carries JOSH up and runs away with him from the ANTIBODIES.

antibody 1

What? Oh my god. That is fucking rude.

baby warrior antibody 1

Hey, no fair…

CUT TO:

BARIMAH reaches for a device inside his pocket. He injects JOSH with a creamy liquid goo it’s filled with.

JOSH shivers up to consciousness, gasping.

josh

What is that? Oh. It feels fucking good.

barimah

It is called an Antigen Generator. It creates an antigen of equal strength inside an antibody, which neutralizes the action of any antibody produced by the leucocytes.

josh

And you’re always carrying this around with you?

barimah

I designed it to fuck up with the whites if they come invading these shores again. You never know when it’s going to come in handy.

josh

But that is so dangerous. How did it heal me?

barimah

Yeah… You have a weird blood.

josh

Oh, yeah. I have a chip.

JOSH giggles nervously.

barimah

What?

josh

Yeah… I am part of the kids that were injected with the second wave vaccine. We’re now like… humans but better.

barimah

Better…

josh

…obedient… controllable.

barimah

Oh, I see. You’re one of those failed… humans.

JOSH giggles.

barimah (cont’d)

Listen. Come here. Let me let you in on a better secret…

He reaches over to JOSH closely.

He snaps to grab JOSH by the neck, bringing him close to his face.

barimah

You must be a dangerous man JOSH. Else no one will respect you.

He lets go off him and gets back into character.

barimah (cont’d)

Now, let’s fuck these pigs up.

CUT TO: ANTIGEN WARRIORS:

The antigen warriors split up to find BARIMAH and JOSH.

STEALTH MODE: BARIMAH & JOSH

They jump over a shoulder of the shadow of one of the ANTIGEN WARRIORS, who was standing through a door.

They crawl over to a wall in a corner.

They stand close to doorway, flat on the wall.

JOSH pants heavily.

barimah

Shhh…

He reaches his arm, placing his finger over his mouth.

RED ALERT!

Soldiers find them and start shooting at them.

They run and dodging a few.

barimah

That shushing thing didn’t work.

josh

It never has.

 

barimah

Hahahaa… I feel like dying this time.

BARIMAH charges in. He quickly fixes one of the antibody generators into BANGER (His gun) And opened fire into the army.

barimah

Ahhhh!

They fire back but none of their bullets hit him.

BARIMAH’s shots turned the army into goo and melt them down.

They manage to get away from the ANTIBODIES that were left there. Some were injured, others were dead and others were covered in goo of other BODIES.

AWAY FROM FIGHT SCENE:

barimah

You see all this, JOSH? This is the human mind. So vulnerable and bare. Only protected by a calcium skull. So precious but have a very weak protective cover. Our ancestors had better and stronger skull than we have and it’s the most delicate thing we have, apart from our penises.

josh

No shit…

barimah

Yeah JOSH. You think you will ever be thought this in school? Huh? They don’t even teach you to make money. They only tell you to study hard and work hard and use what you earn to pay bills. Is that the life you want to live?

 

BARIMAH fixes a device into a part of the LECTURER’S brain. The system started updating itself with the new codes he injected into his subconscious.

barimah

And… 5, 3, 1. And ladies and gentlemen, we are green. It’s done. It’s fixed. All of it. Now I’m bored.

josh

This is amazing. Wow. I can’t believe it.

barimah

Yes, JOSH. Humans think they have free will and does anything they want.

josh

What? That is not true?

barimah

What do you think, JOSH? Why do you think we are here now? Don’t be dumb JOSH. This man won’t give us an A in a billion years, if we live that long…

…because he simply doesn’t like us. His mistake, he thinks he has the power. Only have to dip a finger in the most awkward of places.

Crazy thing… I did all this just to prove that point and you don’t even get it.

 

josh

Cool. But you should try keeping your monologues less meta.

barimah

But there’s a downside.

josh

Oh, there is more…

barimah

A system reboot is going to be a requirement.

josh

Ohhhh.

He said worriedly.

ANTIGEN soldiers catch up with them and opens fire.

Barimah shoots back.

WHILE SHOOT OUT GO ON:

barimah

Quick, JOSH. Hurry. We have to get out of here else, we’re going to die! His mind is going to die for 3 hours and reboot back again. The serum is going to wear our soon. We have to quickly find a way out of here.

josh

Wait, how long have we been here?

barimah

72 hours.

josh

72 hours?

 

 

barimah

You don’t have to ask me again what you clearly just heard me say.

josh

BARIMAH, I have a date to be at. JOAN has been waiting on me for 72 hours and I’ve not been…

barimah

Quit thinking about your penis JOSH. There’s still more time for your stupid date.

josh

But it’s been 3 days already.

barimah

Yes, JOSH. Only in this guy’s mind. Time travels differently in every human’s mind than what we know in the collective real life.

josh

The collective real life?

barimah

I don’t have time to explain. It’s only been 36 minutes out there.

JOSH pauses for a while.

josh (cont’d)

So, it’s like Inception.

barimah

It’s not Inception Josh. Its persuasion. The LECTURER is not dreaming. Yes, he is asleep but, we are not in his dreams. In fact, I can induce a dream for him right now but that is not important. We are not playing God yet…

Calling this anything like Inception is saying David had a big dick. And that is an insult to the creative genius that shat that thing. Do you get it now, JOSH?

josh (cont’d)

Uhhh…

The whole place starts crushing and crumbling down.

antigen commander

Take cover…

He commands the ANTIGEN soldiers.

The Lecturer’s heart starts beating really fast, and hard, pumping blood into the brain at high pressure. We have to leave now.
