DAY - EXTERIOR: DOWNTOWN
There is a rampant epidemic of Mad Sheeple Disease! People who catch it, their hair turns tight curly like a sheep and they get zombie eyes.
And they walk around all day saying "baaa!! bahhhh!!"
(you can be
honest without spilling your guts)
JAKE: You're just a conspiracy theorist!
Barley is talking with his cousin Jake.
JAKE: I don't care if they take away my water... just so long as they don't take away my internet connection.
BARLEY: What?!
JAKE: I don't care if they take away my water. I'll just go swim in the ocean.
BARLEY is incredulous
JAKE: And I don't need to drink water. I'll just drink Burpees all day.
JAKE: But they better not mess with my internet connection, especially my gamers Asus P3 Super connectivity axus cord.
TY: Or our 53G cell tower connectivity
KID1: I'm able to host 4 servers from an implode in my 3rd digit.
KID2: my fingernails are able to transmit electric current to power my bike.
BARLEY: You're the reason people have been able to get away with this..
You're exactly the reason they have been able to get away with all this..
JAKE: This what?
BARLEY: This... that... that's what.
JAKE: (laughing dirisively) See... you don't even have yourself a good argument!
Jake and his friends walk off, Barley left standing alone.
BARLEY: (muttering to himself) Why do I always fold when in a confrontation. I know I am right, or at least I think I am.
(Barley was raised from ages 3-10 by Troy while Tommy left town to pursue his banking career. There was resentment from Jake, Troy's son. Troy and Barley had more similar personalities and Jake felt left out.) Always some weird resentment there. Jake is a little older and a little bigger than Barley.
The people are informed that they need to stock up on Clamato juice... all the lemmings run out and buy up all the Clamato juice. They drink up the Clamato juice and turn into clams.
The people who catch Mad Sheeple Disease, their hair turns curly like a sheep.
The evil scientist creates a vaccination that will supposedly wipe out the disease.
It costs lots of $$ and only rich people can afford it.
Divided political views: Tommy is Chairman of the Homeowners Association. His views in the public arena on water usage, growth in Allium County. Troy is head of the Farmers Guild Allium County. They are both running for public office. There is a mid-running party and it starts out slowly and builds momentum and that person wins.
MA:
Oh how sweet... can I see your baby?
Babies are so adorable and sweet... and then they grow up to be surly/angry teenagers and angry/pissed-off adults!
