Heres a script I started (First Draft) That I was hoping to actually thought of making this summer but didn't have all the puppeteers and equment for all the characters as well as having all the characters not ready. Maybe I'll finish it sometime later in my life or when i have chance. The whole thing started out as my friends were going to go to New York then they changed their mind to go to Florida. Then they said I couldn't go then the changed to go to Six Flags so I got to go after all but since the whole thing was going to be in their Camper but it broke down. So here is part of the script maybe I'll get to direct and be a part of. Take it from there Narrator.



Vacation: A trip to Florida
Written & Created By: Kyle Wilkinson
First Draft: 1-28-03

1. Ext: Day- As we (Crane shot) from the clouds (Show the title) down pass the Goodwill sign were we go through the doors where we see Sam on the phone, talking to a customer.

Sam Filter
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, we do! Uh huh, we do carry mattress and box spring. Yes. Ok. Thank you. Bye. (Frustrated) Gosh, people don’t use their brains!

In walks Norma.

Norma Ramos
What’s wrong, Sam?

Sam Filter
People! They don’t listen. I think we should shut down Goodwill. Then maybe they would listen. Without Goodwill they’d go bother McDorman’s Furniture about their mattresses.

Norma Ramos
You know Sam? That might work if you were the owner of Goodwill but it will never change. It’s just what we have to put up with around here. You’ll get use to it.

Sam Filter
Your right but I can dream, can’t I?

A customer brings her basket up to the counter.

Norma Ramos
Hi. How ya doen.

Customer 1
Hi. How’s work been?

Norma Ramos
Fine. It’s the weather, hasn’t been nice the last few months.

Customer 1
Yea. It was pretty nice the weekend of the Round Up. Did ya’ll go?

Norma Ramos
No. We don’t go.

Customer 1
I took my grandsons. Liked it. Thought they weren’t going to like it but they enjoyed themselves.

Norma Ramos
It’ll be 4.50, please. No. Not with the baby. To windy and dirty.

Customer 1
Here you go. I hope I get to see her soon. Ya’ll have a nice day.

Norma Ramos
You do the same. Thanks. Bye. Sam. Sam. Sam! Sam!

Sam Filter
(Asleep, Snoring)
What. What. (Stagers, rubbing his eyes)

Norma Jean
Sam. What have I told you about sleeping? You know Mary’s gonna get rid of you. You’re supposed to be watching me, learning how to do this. That’s the third time. Better be careful.

Sam Filter
Sorry, but this stuff is all boring to me.

Norma gives an angry look at Sam.

Sam shrugs his shoulders.

Norma Ramos
You know I can’t be (Rubs his head) mad at you. You’re too cute.

Sam Filter
Please not too loud. I have a reputation to keep. I wonder if Kyle’s up. Maybe I should call him.

2. Cut to Wilkinson’s House. Cut to inside where we see Kyle on the phone.

Kyle Vance
Yea I’m up. What do you want?

Cut to Goodwill w/ Sam on phone.
Sam Filter
I just wanted to know if you remembered what day it is.



Kyle Vance
(Hearing the voice over the phone)
Yes, Sam I remember. Is that all you called me fort?

Sam Filter
Yea.

Kyle Vance (Voice on phone)
Next time ask me when I’m awake. I would like to sleep in while I can.

Sam Filter
Ok. Talk to you later. Bye

Cut to Kyle at home on phone.
Bye. (Hangs phone up) Now to call Sam’s friends. Won’t Sam be surprise when he sees all his friends?

Slowly scene of Kyle talking on the phone fly by. Then we see the last phone conversation end.
Kyle Vance (On phone)
Yea, just meet us at 1300 James Lane. That’s where my buddies live. Yea. 1300 James Lane. Ok. Bye. (Hang up phone) I just wonder if Shane will like some of Sam’s friends. Chris has met some but not all. (Mouths words) Please, God. Please.

3. We see the Goodwill from the back of the store. We see Sam walking back and forth.

Sam Filter
What am I going to do? There’s no way I’ll be able to go on the trip. Kyle said Shane hates me. I guess I’ll end up working over my vacation. (Sigh)

Mary Segura
Sam are you up there?

Sam Filter
Uh yea, ma’am.

Mary Segura
Well get your little butt down here, its lunchtime.

Sam Filter
Ok. Thanks Mary.

4. Sam comes downstairs. Clocks out and leaves for lunch. We then cut to a scene where we see a car pull up at Kyle’s house. We then cut to Sam and Chris getting out of the car.


Chris Everett
So Sam, ready for your vacation?

Sam Filter
Not really. I’m not going anywhere.

Chris Everett
What do you mean? Didn’t (Opens the door) Kyle tell yoooo…..

You see Kyle waving his arms mouthing I haven’t told him yet.

Sam Filter
Told me what? (Looks at Kyle and Chris)

Chris Everett
Uh….told you about (Looking around nervously)…..

Kyle Vance
About the new clock.

Sam Filter
Yea, I know about the clock. I didn’t fall off a tomato truck just yesterday. (Grunts)

5. Sam then leaves the scene while Kyle and Chris talk about the surprise for Sam.

Kyle Vance (Loud voice to whisper voice)
CHRIS! Keep your mouth shut. Ok Gosh. No telling you a secret. You spill the beans.

Chris Everett
Sorry.

Kyle Vance
Next time be quiet. Ok

Chris Everett
Ok. Sorry.

Kyle Vance
Oh yea. Sam’s friends are on their way to your house. And why are you here?

Chris Everett
I pick him up. Feeling sick.

Kyle Vance
Oh, feeling sick. (Squints eye) He’s just like me! I’m proud. (With head in the air)

Chris Everett
My house? My house? My house?!

Kyle Vance
Yes, your house.

Chris Everett
But no one knows there coming over, except my mom. Shane and my dad are the only ones there.

Kyle Vance
You didn’t tell Shane or your dad. You know how he is with weird people. Especially Sam’s friends. He’ll kill them!!

A bubble forms above Chris head. Chris imagines what would happen.
Tommy answers the door and to his surprise finds weird characters with backpacks.
Weird Characters
Hello!!!!
Tommy screams. The bubble pops.

Kyle Vance
Ok. Here’s what will do. You get Sam ready for us to go and I’ll call Goodwill and tell them bye.

Chris Everett
Ok. So can I tell him?

Kyle Vance
Yes but don’t tell him about his friends coming until we know there safe. Ok.

Chris Everett
Right!

6. Kyle and Chris go OS. Kyle goes to the car and starts it up. Cut to Chris getting Sam’s stuff ready which Sam has already packed.

Chris Everett
Ok. Toothbrush, clothes and deodorant. Where is everything?

Sam Filter
Uh Chris. There already in my backpack. I packed as soon as I heard what’s going on. So let’s go.

Chris Everett
(Surprised look) Ok!

7. Cut to Chris, Sam and Kyle in the car.

Sam Filter
So where are we going?

Kyle Vance
Chris’s house.

Sam Filter
Ooooh, I see.

Kyle Vance
Ooooh you see what?

Sam Filter
Oh nothing. (Smiling)

Kyle Vance
CHRIS! Did you tell him? I told you not too.

Chris Everett
I didn’t. Promise. (Crossing his heart)

Sam Filter
He didn’t tell me a thing. I heard it all through the door. Ok. So don’t try to put the blame on Chris.

Chris Everett
Thank you, Sam. Not like some people I know.

Kyle Vance
I apologize. I’m sorry. It’s all this vacation. I didn’t know that all this planning was going to be hard. You know. Trying to keep it all a secret.

Chris Everett
Don’t worry. It’ll be ok.

Sam Filter
Loving moment and all but DON’ T WE HAVE SOME FRIENDS TO SAVE?

Kyle Vance
Oh, Oh sorry. Hurry Chris. There’s know time to waste.

Chris Everett
I’m going as fast as I can.

8. Car pulling up to house. Sam, Chris and Kyle running up to the door. Yelling and Shouting coming form inside the house.

Kyle Vance
Were too late!

Chris Everett
Get inside!!

Sam Filter
Hurry!!!

9. They almost bust down the door coming in only to see Tommy and Otis (The Dog) talking up a storm. Tommy speaks up (Laughing) after telling Otis a story.

Tommy Everett
Why, hello ladies. You didn’t tell me Sam’s friends were coming with us.

Chris Everett
Sorry dad. I didn’t mean to upset you. I was going to tell you soon or later.

Tommy Everett
Oh I’m not upset. I’m glad. I’ve never had this much fun scent……I don’t know when. (Slaps Chris on the back w/ laughing)
(During the talk w/ Chris and Tommy)

Otis the dog

Sam Filer

Otis the dog

Sam Filter

Chris Everett
Where’s the rest of the gang?

Tommy Everett
Oh, there in Shane’s room.
10. They keep talking (No Audio) as Kyle, Sam and Chris go OS. Cut to the den where Gas and Scott are watching TV.
(Watching TV. and talking)
Gas
Is this all that’s on? I can’t believe they don’t have satellite TV. Kyle has satellite.

Scott
Why is it you gripe about everything? No food. No good games. No satellite TV. You’re just too hard to satisfy.

In walks Kyle, Sam and Chris.

Kyle Vance
Hey guys!

Gas and Scott turn around.

Gas and Scott
Kyle!! Sam!! Chris!!

Kyle Vance
Gas! Scott! How’s it going? Haven’t seen ya’ll in a long time.

Gas
Why if it isn’t Grizzly Adams. Wow! Now that’s what I call a forest.

Scott

Kyle Vance
So……Where’s Shane?

Scott

Kyle Vance

Chris Everett
I guess he was called in. He was here when I left to pick up Sam. Scott?

Scott

Chris Everett

Scott
Should be in Shane’s room playing video games.

Al and Buster stick their heads out.

Al

Kyle Vance
Ah, nothing really. Just waiting for five-o-clock to roll around.

Al
What’s happening then?

Chris Everett
Time to pick up Shane.

Al
Oh. So nothing cools going to happen at that certain time.

Kyle Vance
Nope. (Nods head)

11. Cut to clock- As it spins fast. Time goes on and on. Everybody is board out of their wits.

Gas
Is there anything that we can do other then sit on our butts and do nothing?

Chris Everett
I could do some of my impression.

Everybody groans
No.

12. Fade in to clock-As it spins some more. The time finally reaches its time but everybody is asleep. Beaky walks in saying.

Beaky Everett
It’s time. Well I can’t believe there all asleep. Now what prevented that to happen? (Takes a deep breath, then process to yell)
CHRIS ITS TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!

With that it wakes everybody up. Making everybody jump completely out of their skin.


Chris Everett
Were up. What’s going on? Why are you yelling?

Beaky Everett
Its time to pick up your brother. That’s why I’m yelling. So get after it and listen. I need some pretty hefty men around the house to do some work. So who wants to stay?

Gas and Kyle
