Faction War - Ep 7: Mobilising

EPISODE SEVEN
MOBILISING

At the Federation Base, Blake and Stevenson stand around completely bored with nothing to do.

STEVENSON
"What's up?"

BLAKE
"Not much. You?"

STEVENSON
"Nothing."

The pair stands silently.

STEVENSON
"How's the girlfriend?"

BLAKE
"Dead."

STEVENSON
"Oh, that's too bad. I'm sorry."

BLAKE
"Don't be, I'm the one that popped the cheating bitch."

STEVENSON
"Whoa, that's gnarly."

BLAKE
"Dude, you stole my catchphrase."

STEVENSON
"What catchphrase?"

BLAKE
"Gnarly. That's my catchphrase. Get your own. Do you know how many years I've been saying gnarly for? Do you?"

STEVENSON
"Eight?"

BLAKE
"Actually three months, but you get the picture."

STEVENSON
"Right."

Eddy comes out into the room.

EDDY
"I'm going to go and get that body off the road, who wants to help me?"

STEVENSON & BLAKE
"He will!"

EDDY
"I just need one."

STEVENSON & BLAKE
"He'll do it!"

EDDY
"Come on! Stop that, I just need one of you to come and help me."

BLAKE
"Fine, I'll do it."

EDDY
"Thank you."

Eddy and Blake leave the room, leaving Stevenson alone.
Eddy and Blake walk out onto the road to where the body should've been but they find nothing.

EDDY
"This was where it happened, right?"

BLAKE
"Yeah, I think so."

EDDY
"So where's the body?"

BLAKE
"Maybe it never happened."

EDDY
"What?"

BLAKE
"Maybe we've gone back in time and our mission is to save that poor guy from getting shot in the head."

Eddy stares at Blake.

EDDY
"What are you, a fucking terminator?"

BLAKE
"God, I hope not."

EDDY
"Maybe the Trivial's that popped him took the body as a trophy."

BLAKE
"God, that's sick."
EDDY
"It was quite common in ancient warfare."

BLAKE
"Yeah, but if I knew I was going to receive a trophy of a dead guy, I'd purposely do badly at Saturday Soccer."

EDDY
(Sighs)
"Do they have a name for what's wrong with you?"

BLAKE
"Yeah, but I can't pronounce it."

Blake sees something at the bottom of the mountain near the Trivial base. He looks closer and sees it's a jeep with Charleston, Aaron and Twimby in it.

BLAKE
"Look down there!"

Eddy looks down and sees the group mobilizing in the jeep. They can be heard shouting.

AARON
"Put the jeep into gear and THEN go!"

CHARLESTON
"I know how to drive! The clutch is sticky!"

TWIMBY
(Almost crying)
"Stop fighting! Stop it! You're making me cry!"

Eddy turns to Blake.

EDDY
"We've got to tell the Sarge!"
