Title screen appears, plays some spooky music. "The Robot: Boogie Machine of Doom"

SCENE 2 -

Cut to our protagonist, CHRIS, who's fixing a computer because he is an IT guy and that's what they do.

CHRIS: Yeah so it looks like the problem is that the wires are bad and so that's what's making the computer bad.

MAN 1: Okay thank you. How much will this set me back

CHRIS: 200-300, just freeballin' it.

MAN 1: Great I'll get back to you. Do you have a card?

CHRIS: No not for you

MAN 1: Okay great see you around

CHRIS: It was good seeing you

MAN 1: Likewise

CHRIS walks out of the house with the computer and gets in his car. He drives away. Cut to CHRIS at home, sitting at the table with a sandwich.

CHRIS: Man, I am so lonely.

CHRIS's phone starts ringing. It's his friend, KEVIN.

KEVIN: What's up, bro?

CHRIS: Not much man why did you call

KEVIN: What are you doing tonight

CHRIS: I am wide open, no plans!

KEVIN: Do you want to hang out and play some ball?

CHRIS: Sure, I'll be over in five.

CHRIS takes 30 seconds to finish his sandwich. Cut to the park where CHRIS and KEVIN are throwing and catching a handball.

SCENE 3 -

KEVIN: So what is new with you, CHRIS? I haven't seen you in a while

CHRIS: Nothing really, I have just been doing my job. Computer this, computer that. You know the drill.

KEVIN: Do you have a girlfriend yet?

CHRIS catches the ball, but doesn't throw it back. He looks sad.

CHRIS: No, I haven't been with a girl since high school. I think that part of my life is over, dude. It's totally bumming me out, man.

KEVIN: Don't give up hope yet, I met a girl the other day and she smells like cinnamon. Like she really does, I'm not joking, Chris!!

CHRIS: That's fantastic. Good for you, Kevin. I'm so glad.

KEVIN: Thanks, Chris. Did you catch the news last night?

CHRIS: No, I don't watch the news. Old people scare me. Yeesh.

KEVIN: Gotcha. Well apparently some people were found dead at a club not too far from here. Like really dead.

CHRIS: Wow, you don't say. Which one?

KEVIN: I do not remember.

CHRIS: Damnit, Kevin.

KEVIN: Sorry Chris. They didn't give much reason as to what happened, though. I really don't know, couldn't tell you. Sorry Chris.

CHRIS: Super weird. Really weird! Wack even.

KEVIN: I bet it's aliens.

CHRIS: Shut up KEVIN. You gotta grow up, KEVIN. Stuff like that doesn't happen in real life, you know, KEVIN.

KEVIN: I guess you're right, Chris.

CHRIS: I am right. I'm usually typically always right. Well anyways KEVIN I think I should get going. It is getting pretty late, it's almost night!

KEVIN: Me, too. I need to get back home so I can make dinner. I love to cook. I'm making pasta.

CHRIS: Pasta. Alright, Kevin. That's good Kevin. Have fun Kevin.

KEVIN: Okay.

SCENE 4 -

Cut to CHRIS in his living room, watching TV on the couch. The TV is showing a news channel, and the newscaster is an older man. Cut to CHRIS who changes the channel and winces.

CHRIS: Euch.

The channel changes to a younger reporter. CHRIS looks pleased.

CHRIS: Nice!

The reporter is reporting on reports of the robot massacre the other night.

NEWSCASTER: I'm a reporter and I am on the news. Just recently, there've been reports of a killer robot running rampage at a local night club. Today-

CHRIS turns off the blasted TV because of the nonsensical nature of the reports.

CHRIS: Ha. This sounds like something that Kevin would think of. This is bull crap. A bowl of bologna. A bunch of phooey. Everybody knows robots aren't real. That's like saying the moon landing's real

CHRIS turns on some slow, smooth jazz and heads to bed. He is tossing and turning in his sleep. He finally decides he can't sleep and goes back out to the kitchen to make a sandwich. He sits down at the dinner table and pulls out the computer he was supposed to fix. He takes it apart and looks inside. He sees a logo on the inside of the computer.

CHRIS: I wonder what this could be. I've never seen anything like it before. Hm. Weird. I'm going to go to sleep now.

The next morning, CHRIS wakes up and hits snooze on the alarm clock. He gets ready in a sick montage with sweet jams in the background. Gets out of bed, brushes teeth, gets dressed, eats cereal. The TV is on, and it's playing the news.

SHERRY MCNEWS: Hello everybody. I'm Sherry McNews and this is Channel 11 News. Today I'm bringing exclusive news with a survivor from the mysterious night where 24 people were found dead at the Gin and Jams club. He wanted to stay anonymous, so here is what he had to say about this night.

SHERRY: Alright well

DUDE: Straight up.

SHERRY: Thank you for that...

Cut to CHRIS looking at the TV in disbelief. SHERRY is mumbling the ABCs but you can't really hear it cause it's in the background.

CHRIS: That guy's crazy, no way that's real.

CHRIS turns off the TV and gets into his car. He pulls out his phone.

CHRIS: Erika, huh. 1253 8th avenue. "Computer keeps crashing, don't know how to fix it." Alright, easy enough. Just a computer, right?

He pulls up to ERIKA's house, checks the address to make sure it's right.

CHRIS: This looks like the right address. I'm probably at the right house.

CHRIS is at the right house. He walks up to the door and knocks. ERIKA opens the door, and CHRIS's jaw drops. Romantic music starts playing. The whole shebang.

ERIKA: Can I help you?

CHRIS: Yes hi I'm Chris the IT guy from the IT company. My name's Chris.

ERIKA: Oh! Come on in.

CHRIS: Thank you.

ERIKA leads CHRIS inside.

ERIKA: Here's the computer, Chris!

CHRIS: Can you please explain the problem situation for me please?

ERIKA: Sure, Chris. So basically, the computer will always crash and it won't work and it's a bad computer. I can barely use it! It keeps crashing every time I use it. It really sucks!

CHRIS: Mhm. Gotcha. [Points to computer] This is the computer?

ERIKA: That's the one. Stupid computer keeps crashing!

Chris starts eyeballing the computer. He runs his fingers around it, blows on it, and licks his finger. He stands for a second, ponders, nods, and goes back to feeling around the computer. He looks at it for a while and starts poking at it with a screwdriver he got from his pocket.

CHRIS: So what's your favorite color?

ERIKA: Sorry, what was that?

CHRIS: Your favorite color! What is it?

ERIKA: Oh I don't think I have one. I guess if I had to choose one maybe yellow?

CHRIS: That's fantastic. I like green. It's a good color. It's my favorite color. My favorite color is green!

ERIKA: That's nice. I've heard good things about that color. So do you notice anything about the computer that's fixable?

CHRIS: What kinds of movies do you like?

ERIKA: What?

CHRIS: Movies! Do you like 'em?

ERIKA: Yes? I do.

CHRIS: That's awesome. Me too. I think my favorite types of movies are probably horror movies and romances. Do you like romantic things? Speaking of which, where's your boyfriend?

ERIKA: Oh I, uh, I don't have one.

CHRIS: A girl like you, single? Wow, crazy world.

ERIKA: haha, funny.

CHRIS: People do tell me I'm funny.

ERIKA: Yeah?

CHRIS: Yeah! I have lots of friends.

ERIKA: That's good.

CHRIS: Yes. This thing looks very problematic. The computer, lots of problems. Tons. So I think I'm gonna have to come by again tomorrow.

ERIKA: Oh, are you sure?

CHRIS: Yeah, but don't worry, I won't charge any extra for a special lady like you.

ERIKA: Oh, okay. Sure.

CHRIS: Here's my card. It has my name and my phone number, so you can call me.

ERIKA: Thanks.

CHRIS: Well I'll be seeing you, Erika.

ERIKA: Sounds good.

CHRIS walks outside, shuts the door behind him. He is ecstatic.

CHRIS'S THOUGHTS (all echoey and stuff): Wow. Erika. She might just be the one.

CHRIS dials up KEVIN.

CHRIS: Kevin, you won't believe it, man. I'm in love. Tell the whole world I'm in love and there's nothing that can stop me!

KEVIN: Wow, Chris. Good for you!

CHRIS: Thanks, Kev.

KEVIN: So, who's the lucky lady?

CHRIS: Well her name's Erika.

KEVIN: That's great, Chris. What does she smell like?

CHRIS: Oh wow, putting me on the spot haha! What a weird question Kevin. If I remember she smells like canola oil.

KEVIN: Wow Chris! Good for you! That's awesome, man. Truly good stuff. So -

CHRIS hangs up. He steps into his car, and starts blasting whatever song I can afford the rights for. He drives off into the sunset.

SCENE 5 -

At home, CHRIS throws his keys on the table, makes a sandwich, and sits down on the couch. He turns on the TV, showing the news channel from before.

CHRIS: Enough of this, I don't need any of this. I'm going to call Erika and see what she's up to. ... Wait! I never got her number. Rats. How am I supposed to call her now?

Cut to CHRIS in the car, pulling up to ERIKA's house. He knocks on the door. ERIKA opens the door, surprised to see CHRIS standing outside with a single yellow rose.

ERIKA: Uh, hey.

CHRIS: Hello Erika! I realized I never got your phone number, can I get it so we can keep in touch?

ERIKA: No, sorry. I don't really know you.

CHRIS: Well we can change that. Let's see. I'm Chris, I'm a super cool guy, I'm actually super nice, and I'm really funny, too.

ERIKA: That's good. It's still a no, though. Sorry.

CHRIS: Will this change your mind?

CHRIS pulls out a deck of cards.

CHRIS: Pick a card.

ERIKA: Haha okay.

CHRIS: Now I want you to take that card, remember it, then put it back in the deck.

ERIKA: Okay..

CHRIS: Now you split the deck.

ERIKA splits the deck. CHRIS pulls out an ace of spades.

CHRIS: Is this your card?

ERIKA: Wow, you got it! That was really cool. What was your name again?

CHRIS: Chris. So can I get your number now?

ERIKA: Ask me again tomorrow, we'll see.

CHRIS: Okay, sounds like a plan.

ERIKA: See you, Chris.

CHRIS: Alright. I'll see you tomorrow, Erika!

CHRIS walks back to his car, puts the song I get the rights for or a super sick song I write on, and drives off. Cut to the next day, where Chris goes through the getting ready montage, but this time he puts more effort into it and puts on nicer clothes. Cut to him at ERIKA's front door.

CHRIS: Good morning, sunshine!

ERIKA: Hey, Chris. Come on in!

CHRIS: So, computers! Yes, let's see here.

ERIKA: It's nice to see you again, Chris.

CHRIS: And the same goes for you. How did you sleep last night?

ERIKA: Very good, thanks.

CHRIS: That's fantastic. Sleep's my favorite

CHRIS continues poking at the computer with his screwdriver.

CHRIS: So, any plans for tonight?

ERIKA: I don't think so, no

CHRIS: That's great. Sometimes when I don't have plans I like to make plans. Would you like to make plans? Maybe with me, I don't know, up to you.

ERIKA: Sure, that sounds like fun.

CHRIS: Great, see you then!
