Gunomilia/Transcript

Transcript for Gunomilia.

Script
''On the 20th April, 2043, the Utopian society of Gunomilia fell victim to an atomic bomb set off from an enemy state. Upon hitting the ground, the once Utopia was now reduced to rubble. Very few survived, and the few who did survive attempted to rebuild their society with somewhat of a success. One of the victims who fell to the bomb was the president, his children survived, and his oldest child, Gloria Bush, led the few survivors to rebuild their society.''

We fade to a CRT television set displaying static for a few seconds, a colorful graphic with words *The 13 AM News* appears with a whimsical fanfare, A news reporter in a run down environment resembling a newsroom appears.

News reporter:

Welcome back to the 13 AM news, your number one source of the latest events of one place to another, for news of here, another child has gone missing in a phenomenon of several disappearances involving children of ages 7-12 years, some believe common stuff like this being the work of a criminal and others are getting quite drastic believing it's aliens, we now go to our president Gloria Bush, who has something to say about the disappearances of our youth.

We cut to Gloria sitting on a black chair within a black room.

Gloria:

We're really quite baffled by recent events involving the recent disappearances.

We start zooming towards Gloria.

Gloria:

People who have witnessed the disappearances of these children have described the individual as being an immensely tall white male between the ages of 40 - 50 years old, rather muscular and has a scar on one of his cheeks. Hopefully we may find this fiend of our town.

CUT: The newsroom from before.

News reporter:

Absolutely terrible. Anyways, it's now been 1330 days ever since the atomic bomb that struck the little town of Gunomilia hit our town and changed it forever for either the best or the worst.

* Beat, the news reporter then picks up some papers on his table*

News reporter:

Now we move on to international news--

CUT: A teenager asleep in bed, an alarm clock then goes off and the teen wakes up. He rubs his face and smacks his lips, he then starts nudging another person who happens to be in his bed.

???:

Sylvie, get up.

She doesn't wake up, the teen then starts nudging her more.

???:

Sylvia!

She suddenly wakes up, with a confused expression.

Sylvia (Slightly mumbled):

...what Jack?

Jack:

Well...good morning?

Sylvia:

Morning...what time is it?

Jack:

It's uhh...*Grabs his clock* 7AM.

Sylvia:

Ugh...quite early don't you think? Could I stay in bed just for a little bit longer?

Jack:

You know, i'll let you rest a little longer. Would you like some breakfast?

Sylvia:

I guess so.

Jack:

Alright, i'll get going to the kitchen then.

CUT: Jack entering the kitchen, he is seen taking a bowl and a box of cornflakes, he then goes to the fridge and opens it.

Jack (Quietly to himself):

Goddammit...

We then follow him into the other room and we see a morbidly obese man sitting down in a chair watching television with hardcore music in the background.

Jack:

Uncle Marv...

Marvin:

Hm?

Jack:

We have no milk.

Marvin then bursts into laughter and we see Jack's confused expression.

Marvin:

What the fuck are you talking about?! We do! (Points) It's right over there in the corner!

We see a plastic jug of milk in the corner.

Jack:

Uh...alright.

Jack walks over to grab the milk.

Jack:

Why was the milk in here?

Marvin:

I dunno.

Jack:

Out of all the uncles that were available it just had to be you...

Jack walks out.

CUT: The bedroom we were in earlier.

Jack walks in with a bowl of cornflakes.

Jack:

Here you go.

Hans the cornflakes to Sylvia*

Sylvia:

Thanks.

Jack is then seen putting on clothes.

CUT: Jack and Sylvia walking out the door of the building they live in and they start walking down the street.

While they're walking, a young girl in filthy tattered clothing runs up to Sylvia and grabs her by the leg.

CUT: A shot of the girl's face, which is dirty and rather bruised.

Jack tugs at Sylvia's arm.

Jack:

That little tramp may be carrying a horrible plague for all we know Sylvie...

CUT: The girl's face again.

Sylvia eventually pulls the girl's hand away and walks off.

After some more walking, Jack and Sylvia walk into an alleyway.

CUT: An ominous alleyway, Jack and Sylvia walk down it and stop at a door.

Jack knocks on it.

Footsteps are heard and a slightly chubby woman opens it.

Woman:

What do you want?

Jack:

Uhh...we're friends of Marty.

Marty's mom:

Oh i'm sorry! Marty! Your friends are here!

We hear footsteps and Marty's mom walks offscreen, and Marty then appears onscreen.

Marty:

...yes?

Jack:

Are you available?

Marty:

No.

Jack:

C'mon Marty, me and Sylvie are going to do some cool stuff today and it would be a shame if you didn't come with us today...

Marty:

By cool stuff you just mean going to the Slagachippa and eat till we vomit.

Jack:

Please Marty.

Marty:

Beat* ...will Richard be with us?

Jack:

I'll make sure Richy is with us.

Marty sighs.

Marty:

Alright, i'll get going with you.

Marty closes the door and the three characters leave the shot.

CUT:

The three characters walking down the street.

Jack:

We gotta find Richy now. Where'd you think he is?

Marty:

What day is it?

Jack:

Um...Tuesday, why?

Marty:

I think I know where he is.

CUT: A bridge with a factory in the background. The three characters are seen walking under the bridge.

CUT: The underneath of the bridge, there is a river flowing under it. A teen is seen sleeping with a bunch of trash covering him.

The three characters are seen going towards the teen.

Marty (quietly):

...Richard.

Richard murmurs.

Jack:

Lemme wake him up.

Jack takes out a crowbar and starts walking towards Richard.

Marty:

Whoa, whoa what are you doing?

Jack starts poking Richard with the crowbar.

Richard awakes and quickly gets up and takes out a knife and starts slashing the air without know whom he is slashing at.

He then realizes who he is slashing at and then stops.

Marty then walks to Richard.

Richard:

...sorry I thought you were the people from the company past the bridge.

Marty:

It's alright, you wanna go to the Slaggachippa?

Richard nods.

CUT: The exterior of the Slaggachippa.

CUT: The four characters sitting in a cubicle within the restaurant.

Jack:

Alright everyone, so last night something cool happened, me and Sylvie had happened to have found a VCR within a trashcan near some abandoned hospital and there was even some tapes with it.

Marty:

Huh, what were they like?

Jack:

Pretty fucked, we only watched two tapes, one movie involved sadomasochistic sex and guns fusing to hands, Sylvie was pretty freaked out by it.

Sylvia:

Don't remind me.

Jack:

See? And the other one involved some man being killed because of television or whatever.

Sylvia:

It was pretty good actually.

Marty:

Sounds familiar.

Richard takes out a cigarette and lights it.

Richard:

So, how's your fat ass uncle doing?

Jack:

Still alive.

Richard:

That heart has to stop at one point.

Jack:

Yeah, all he does is watch TV and eat chips.

A waiter enters the shot.

Waiter:

(To Richard) Hey, may you put that cigarette out?

Richard:

Alright, hey, when's our food coming?

Waiter:

Shortly.

Richard:

Better be.

Richard puts out the cigarette.

The waiter leaves the shot.

Richard:

Hey Jack, about you and your girl finding a VCR, when's the last time we went exploring buildings? It's been a while you know.

Jack:

Oh yeah.

Another waiter enters the shot with food and places it on the table.

Jack:

Well there's the food.

He grabs a piece and starts eating.

Jack:

Anyways, do any of yous have an idea of where we should go exploring? Marty? Sylvie? Rich you probably have an idea of where you want to go.

Richard:

Well I do have have one idea...

Jack: Oh! Well great. Go ahead and tell us.

Richard:

Well there's this church I found a few nights ago near the location you found me sleeping. Doesn't seem to have be visited in years.

Marty:

How perfect. You know, we should probably bring a camera so we can take some pictures while we're there. You have a camera don't you Sylvia?

Sylvia:

Yeah I think so. I think it's at Jack's apartment.

Marty:

Wait, what if the church still has visitors?

Jack:

Oh c'mon Marty. Let's take a risk.

Sylvia:

That's a bad idea don't you think? One of us could possibly be captured and may even get jail time, those prisons are quite hardcore on the human body and mind...

Marty:

Yeah, one of my uncles got into the town's prison for possessing drugs and he came home with only one eye and missing some toes...

Jack:

Well one of us may just lose a few toes so I think that's a risk we can take.

Marty:

Alright...if anything happens to us, just so you know you brought this on yourself.

Richard:

Who knows, if someone attacks me at the bridge I sleep at, it could possibly be from that church.

Jack:

Hm...

Jack looks behind himself.

Jack:

...I don't like how that man is looking at me...

We see a short, chubby man staring with a menacing expression.

Richard:

He's probably looking at me cuz of the cigarette.

Jack snorts.

Jack:

Probably.

CUT: The hallway within the apartment complex Jack's apartment is in with the four characters.

Jack:

Alright everyone, me and Sylvie are going in to get her camera, you wait here alright?

Marty and Richard nod.

CUT: The interior of the apartment, Jack and Sylvia are seen entering it.

Jack:

So where's your camera Sylvie?

Sylvia:

Um, I think I left it in your room.

Jack:

Alright, i'll get it.

Jack leaves the shot and the sound of a door opening is heard.

Marvin:

Hey! Jack, can you come in here for a second?

Sylvia turns around facing the entrance to the living room Marvin is in.

Jack:

(Quietly) Sylvie!

Sylvia quickly turns around.

Jack is seen waving his hand around, telling Sylvia not to enter the room.

Marvin:

Oh god...did I forget to take my medicine?

Sylvia:

(Quietly) Where's the camera?

Jack:

Hang on...alright I have it.

Jack enters the shot with Sylvia's camera, he hands it to her.

Sylvia:

Thanks, just give me a second...

Sylvia leaves the shot.

Jack:

What for?

Beat

Sylvia enters the shot again with a bag.

Sylvia:

Just bringing my bag with me. There's a flashlight, some soda and the camera.

Jack:

Okay, let's get going.

CUT: The hallway from earlier, Jack and Sylvia enter the shot through the door from the apartment and they leave with Richard and Marty.

CUT: The bridge from earlier at night, the four characters are seen walking over it.

Marty:

So Rich, where's this place exactly?

Richard:

It's near the factory.

Sylvia:

Hey Richard, do you know what that factory makes?

Richard:

Uh, no. A lot of smoke comes from it, so I expect it makes something important.

Marty:

Hey, you people watch the 13AM news?

Jack:

No? What was the news?

Marty:

Something about a kidnapper, they gave a description of the man, who knows, we may find him in this church.

Jack and Marty laugh.

Marty:

Wait, I think I see it.

CUT: A shot of a rundown church.

Marty:

God, I have the heebie jeebies now.

A car drives by the characters.

Richard stops walking and looks behind himself.

Jack:

Richard, what are you looking at?

Richard:

Did you notice that?

Jack:

What?

Richard:

That guy in the car...he was all bloodied...

Jack:

Richy, is there anything beyond that factory?

Richard:

I'm not sure, I haven't gone beyond it.

Sylvia:

You know i'm pretty sure there's people at that church...

Marty:

At 10 o' clock at night?

Sylvia:

Who knows! We may be putting ourselves into a pretty bad situation...

Richard:

Jack you better remember, if anything, and I mean anything, happens to us, you brought this to yourself.

Jack:

Yeah, yeah.

CUT: The exterior of the rundown church, with a few broken windows on it.

Jack:

Well the windows are broken, so it's obviously abandoned.

Marty:

So we need to find an entrance...

Jack:

Hang on...

He takes out his crowbar and smashes the window with it. He then opens the door from the inside.

CUT: The inside of the church, which involves a large staircase. The characters enter the shot.

Sylvia:

Whoa...

Jack:

You should probably take that camera out...

Sylvia takes out her camera and snaps a picture.

Marty:

This place seems pretty vast, I don't think this is even the only room! You think there's more here?

Jack:

Probably, you can go check.

Marty:

Eh, who knows, something I step on may collapse and then i'd probably have to die there...

Jack:

Likely.

Richard walks up the staircase.

Richard:

Hey look at this!

The three other characters follow him up the stairs.

CUT: A long hallway going two ways.

Richard:

Which one do you want to go through?

Marty:

Hmm...are you right or left handed?

Richard:

Right, why?

Marty:

Alright we go right.

The characters go right.

CUT: A dark hallway with several painting on it's walls. The characters are seen walking down it.

We start panning towards the paintings, which display violent religious situations.

Marty looks at them with a creeped out look. Sylvia walks by him and Marty stops her.

Marty:

Wanna take a picture of that?

Sylvia looks at the paintings and also expresses a creeped out look.

Sylvia:

Alright I guess...

Sylvia snaps a picture.

They keep on walking.

A picture displaying a different language is shown.

Richard:

What do you think it says?

Jack:

A bunch of a nonsense to me.

They walk offscreen.

The characters are seen walking, Richard suddenly steps. Bricks are heard falling.

Richard:

Oh shit!

Jack:

What's wrong?

Richard:

I think there's a hole in the ground...

Jack:

Really?

Jack cautiously looks down.

CUT: A hole in the ground with a very slight light seen at the bottom.

Jack:

Huh...I wonder if there's anything there.

Richard:

I think it's too risky. We should go back.

Jack:

Probably.

The characters go back.

CUT: The exterior of the church, the characters are seen coming out. Sunrise is seen in the background.

Sylvia:

Shit, I forgot my bag in the church.

Jack:

Are you kidding me? Go get it quickly...

Sylvia goes back into the church.

CUT: The staircase inside the church, Sylvia enters the shot and goes to pick up her bag. When she is about to leave the shot, faint chanting is heard. Sylvia stops and looks curious. She eventually tries to follow the sound. She walks up the staircase.

CUT: The hole in the hallway we saw earlier with the chanting now louder, Sylvia is seen walking down it, and approaches the hole and looks down into it.

Jack (offscreen):

SYLVIE! Where are you?

Sylvia becomes startled.

Sylvia:

Sorry Jack, I became distracted!

Sylvia exits the shot running down the hallway.

CUT: Jack at the interior door of the church. Sylvia walks into the shot.

Jack:

What did you even get distracted by?

Sylvia:

Eh it doesn't matter.

They exit out the door.

CUT: Jack within the apart on the phone.

Jack:

Well great. I'll see you in a few days.

He hangs up the phone.

CUT: A television within Jack's bedroom playing a film. Jack enters the room and we pan to his bed which Sylvia is laying on.

Jack:

Hey Sylvie, I have some great news.

Sylvia:

Oh? What is it?

Jack:

I think you and I may be able to leave this shithole.

Sylvia:

Really?

Jack:

Yeah, one of my cousins offered me a chance to live with him, and he's told me he lives in a wonderful town.

Sylvia:

What's it like?

Jack:

He's said it's full of lush scenery, nice civillians and thankfully not a single part of it is a wasteland unlike here.

Sylvia:

Will I be able to come?

Jack:

Of course. Why wouldn't I?

Sylvia:

What about Marty and Richard?

Jack:

Well...

Sylvia shows an sad expression.

Jack:

...yeah.

Sylvia:

I understand. Is this place far from here?

Jack:

No actually. I've been told it's near here so that's great.

Sylvia:

Hm.

Marvin (Offscreen):

Hey, Jack!

Jack:

Gimme a second Sylvie.

Jack leaves the room.

CUT: Marvin in the living room, Jack enters the room.

Jack:

What?

Marvin:

Can you order me something?

Jack:

(Sighs) What do you want?

Marvin:

Lemme think...

Jack sighs and then leaves the room.

Marvin:

Hey! Come back you!

Marvin tries getting up, but proves unsuccessful.

CUT: Jack in the bathroom bathing.

A knock on the door is heard.

Jack:

Yeah?

Sylvia (Offscreen):

Hey, I wanna talk about last night.

Jack:

The church?

Sylvia (Offscreen):

Yeah...I wanna talk about why I took so long to get out.

Jack:

Go ahead.

Sylvia (Offscreen):

Well, while I was getting my bag, as soon as I picked it up, I began hearing chanting.

Jack turns around and faces the door with a confused expression.

Sylvia:

It seemed to have come from that hole Richard almost fell in.

Jack:

That seems pretty far fetched don't you think?

Sylvia:

No I mean it!

Jack:

Of course.

Sylvia:

Ugh...

Jack:

Listen Sylvie i'm sorry if i'm being an ass, but a cult within some random church seems a bit too extreme, you probably imagined it all in your head.

Sylvia sighs and footsteps are heard.
