SCENE 11 -

Sad music continues playing as the camera shows a birdseye view of the city. Cut to CHRIS'S living room once again, where he's sitting on the couch, eating a sandwich, and watching TV. He is wearing a tanktop with his beard growing out. He looks like a mess, dude. CHRIS takes a deep breath, and goes back to his desk where the laptop he was supposed to fix is. He flips it over, revealing the same logo as before. CHRIS'S eyes widen, and we get a flashback to the robot fight scene, where a slow motion shot of the back of the robot reveals the same logo. Woah.

CHRIS [quietly, to himself]: What the hell?

Suspenseful music starts, and CHRIS whips out his trusty screwdriver from his pocket. Cue a montage of CHRIS working on the computer, and doing research on another computer. Show a clock timelapse, growing into the late hours of the night. He keeps working, until finally we hear an alarm. He wakes up, hair all messed up, sleeping at the table with the computer.

CHRIS: Oh darn, I overslept! I slept in too late! Darn. Better get going.

CHRIS boots up the broken computer--it's good as new. Perfect. CHRIS gets into his car, and starts playing his own music again. He rushes out of his driveway, making as any tire screeches as possible. He goes to MAN 1's house to return his now working computer. When he gets there, he sees that the house has laser holes in the walls, and is on fire. Uh oh! It looks like a robot has been here.

CHRIS: Uh oh! It looks like a robot has been here. This must be worse than I thought. I better go check it out.

CHRIS gets out of his car to investigate the scene. He walks up to the door--it's unlocked. Score! He walks inside, and sees MAN 1 on the floor, dead, with laser holes.

CHRIS: Oh no!

He takes a look around the place, burning with lots of CGI fire. He sees something shiny on the floor, and gets low to check it out.

CHRIS: Hmmm... I wonder what this could be.

It's a computer part.

CHRIS: Oh I know... it's a computer part!

CHRIS picks it up to examine it closer. It has the same logo as on the robot. Interesting...

CHRIS: I better tell someone about this...

CHRIS looks through his phone contacts.

CHRIS: Not Kevin, he's a loser.

CHRIS comes across "Erika <3 <3," and sad music starts playing, but it slowly morphs to rock, and he gets a determined, hopeful look on his face.

CHRIS: I know how to prove to her that this is all real!

He dials up "Erika <3 <3," and it goes to voicemail.

ERIKA [VOICEMAIL]: Hii, you've reached Erika! Please leave a message after the beep.

CHRIS snaps his flip phone closed, and gets in his car. Uh oh, is he going to Erika's house? Yes. Yes he is. He drives off into the distance, blasting his tunes. He arrives on the doorstep. Erika opens the door.

ERIKA: Chris?? What do you want?

CHRIS: I need to show you something. Come with me.

ERIKA: Whaat? No! You're crazy!

CHRIS: Erika, if you think about it we're all crazy. Come on.

ERIKA: Chris, you're freaking me out.

CHRIS: I know babe, you just gotta trust me on this, okay?

ERIKA [hesitantly]: Okay, Chris. But this has better be something good!

CHRIS: Okay, come on!

CHRIS and ERIKA get into CHRIS'S car. CHRIS starts blasting his music, and ERIKA covers her ears. They drive off and arrive at the now deceased MAN 1's house.

ERIKA: Jeez Louise! What happened here??

CHRIS: What do you think? It was the robots!!!

ERIKA: You're joking, right?

CHRIS: Dead serious. Come inside.

They go inside. ERIKA screams: "aaah!"

CHRIS: Look at this.

ERIKA: Woah! What is it? What is that thing? What is that?

CHRIS: I'm pretty sure it's a computer part. I think it could be part of one of the robots.

ERIKA: No kidding. This is wild!

CHRIS: Wild is the correct word, Erika. This is wild.

ERIKA: So you're an IT guy, right? Can't you like scan the computer part and figure out how to stop the robots before it gets too late?

CHRIS: I can absolutely scan the computer part. Here, let's go back to my house.

CHRIS and ERIKA get back in the car. In the car:

ERIKA: I'm so sorry I didn't believe you before, Chris. I should've trusted you.

CHRIS: I know. It's okay. I'm just glad you are believing me now. This is something that is important if we are gonna save the planet!

ERIKA: Yes, yes.

They arrive at CHRIS'S house. They walk into the front door, and CHRIS goes immediately into the kitchen.

SCENE 12 -

CHRIS: Sandwich?

ERIKA: What?

CHRIS: Sandwich! Do you want one?

ERIKA: Oh sure. But shouldn't we-

CHRIS: What do you want on your sandwich?

ERIKA: Hm?

CHRIS: Peanut butter and jelly? Ham and cheese? Turkey? Tuna melt? BLT? Grilled cheese? Ham and cheese is my favorite. Do you want ham and cheese? I make really good ham and cheese sandwiches? You know what? I'll make one and you can try it.

ERIKA: Oh- okay. But shouldn't we be working?

CHRIS: It'll only take a second.

Cue sandwich making montage. This is the most epic montage with the most epic music. After the montage, he serves up the sandwiches on two plates as the song ends.

ERIKA: Thanks. So, what is your plan? You have to have a plan, right?

CHRIS: Of course I have a plan. I love making plans. Would you wanna make a plan with me for later? I'd love to make a plan with you. If that's what you want.

ERIKA: Um, sure? Haha. But for the robots, what's your plan?

CHRIS: Oh I'm not sure. Let's take a look at this piece of a computer. It may contain valuable information.

ERIKA: Right, of course.

CHRIS pulls out his screwdriver, and starts poking at the "computer part".

CHRIS: What the? I better plug this in and see what it contains. Sometimes computer chips can contain some very interesting information, especially when it's a cool computer.

ERIKA: Cool!

CHRIS plugs the part into his computer. An mp3 file pops up on the screen. He pauses it.

CHRIS: This could be dangerous, we shouldn't listen to this.

ERIKA: Ah, okay.

CHRIS: Wait, look at the name of the file.

The file's name is (The Song).mp3

ERIKA: Isn't that one of the songs your band plays?

CHRIS: Yeah, why is it on this chip then?

ERIKA: I don't know, didn't you say that could've come from one of the robots?

CHRIS: Yes, but why a song, and why this song?

ERIKA: Hmm...I'm not sure...

A laser shoots through the wall. ERIKA screams: "aah!" They run to a window to try to see what's happening. MAN 2 is running from a robot, who's laser blasting him.

MAN 2: Get away!!

The robot starts playing (the song), and the man stops shooting. He begins to do the robot. All of a sudden, he turns into a robot too, and both robots continue down the street.

CHRIS: They're using our song to turn people into robots!

ERIKA: The song's just too funky and groovy!

CHRIS: I know...I never thought my musical genius would be my demise.

ERIKA: You are very good at writing music.

CHRIS: Thank you Erika.

ERIKA: Of course.

CHRIS: But what do we do about these robots? If they play the song, we're gonna turn into robots too!

ERIKA: Gosh, Chris. I don't know...

CHRIS: I do know one thing though. We gotta get out of here. And fast!

ERIKA: Right.

CHRIS runs to his kitchen drawer and pulls it out. Inside, he grabs a conveniently placed bag of earplugs, a knife, and he moves to the fridge/cupboards. He grabs a bag of bread, pre sliced cheese, and a package of ham. He throws ERIKA some earplugs, a pistol, and stuff everything else in a backpack.

CHRIS: Okay, let's move.

ERIKA and CHRIS get into the car, and drive to KEVIN's house. They arrive, and CHRIS starts frantically banging on the door. KEVIN comes out in a robe, with the girl that smells like cinnamon behind him.

KEVIN: Hey guys, what's up?

CHRIS: We've got a problem situation with the robots, and we want to take you with us. We need as much help as we can get.

KEVIN: Woah there, okay. Take it easy pal. Can Lyla come too?

CHRIS: Lyla? Who's that?

KEVIN [leaning in and whispering]: Cinnamon.

CHRIS: Ohhhh, gotcha. That's still happening?

KEVIN: Yes.

CHRIS: Yeesh. Alright, fine, she can come.

KEVIN: Sweet, lemme get dressed real quick. I'll be out in a bit.

CHRIS: Kev, I swear to God if you take more than 30 seconds, I'm leaving you for the robots.

KEVIN: Alright, alright, I'll be fast.

KEVIN closes the door. He opens it after a cool transition, and they all pile into the car. CHRIS goes to put on his music, but ERIKA takes the CD out of his hands, and throws it out of the window like a frisbee. CHRIS looks sad, but shakes it off and starts driving. He begins to explain the problem situation.

CHRIS: Alright. Do you guys know anything about these robot dudes?

LYLA: What robot dudes?

CHRIS: Okay shut up Lyla you're just the girl version of Kevin.

ERIKA [to CHRIS]: Don't you think you should lighten up on them? I mean you barely even know Lyla and Kevin seems like a nice guy.

CHRIS [to ERIKA]: Babe you don't know what you're talking about.

ERIKA [to CHRIS]: I don't know, we're gonna be spending a lot of time with them, I thin-

CHRIS [to ERIKA]: I know, it sucks, right?

KEVIN: Hey guys, you know we have ears, too.

CHRIS: Who doesn't have ears? God, Kev.

KEVIN: Sorry.

CHRIS: It's fine, Kev, stop apologizing so much. So about these robots. What we know so far is that they have lasers and they can fly. We also know that you can get turned into a robot by listening to (the song).

KEVIN: The (the song)? Our (the song)?

CHRIS: Yeah, Kev. Our (the song). And we need to figure out how to stop it.

KEVIN: Well, do you have any ideas? We're gonna need one hell of an idea for this kind of threat.

CHRIS: I figured I'll just wing it. The best plan, you know, is no plan at all.

KEVIN: Woah. You really are smart, Chris!

CHRIS: I know.

LYLA: Are you guys hearing yourselves? There is a growing population of killer robots out there that are gonna exterminate the human race if we aren't careful. So either you get a plan together within the next five minutes or I'm calling a cab to take me home where I can spend the last day of my life watching The Bachelor with my cats. If you guys really think you can save the world then be my guest but I don't wanna be stuck in the middle of some middle-aged men bumbling around while everything's at stake.

CHRIS: yada yada blah, blah blah yada yada. Shut up girl Kevin.

KEVIN: Just let the men talk, sweetie. You'll get your turn.

LYLA: Forget this.

LYLA opens the door, and jumps out of the moving car. Everyone in the car screams: "aah."

KEVIN: Damnit, we have to go get her. She can't be out there alone.

CHRIS: Are you kidding me , Kev? We can't go back for her. You have some pretty bad ideas but I think this one's your worst.

KEVIN: I'm serious, Chris. If we don't go back for her now she's gonna die out there.

CHRIS: Does it look like I care?

KEVIN: Chris.

CHRIS: Alrighty fighty man we'll go back.

KEVIN: Thanks, Chris.

CHRIS makes a u-turn in the middle of the street, with lots of tire screeches, of course. He goes down the street very fastly.

CHRIS: Does anyone see her? Where did she go?

KEVIN: Shoot, where could she be?

They look for a while and begin to lose hope.

ERIKA: Look! There she is!

They see LYLA running down the street, with a robot chasing her down.

CHRIS: Dang it! It's too late! I'm sorry Kev.

KEVIN: No, I'm going out there. I'm not letting her die. This could be my one real chance at love and I'm not gonna just sit and watch her get shot down by an android.

CHRIS: Kevin you're insane. You're gonna get yourself killed out there.

KEVIN: And if I die, I die.

CHRIS: Kevin, no!! We need you on keys!

KEVIN dramatically looks back: I know.

KEVIN leaps out of the car, and puts the earplugs in. Intense music is playing. This is gonna be epic. He pulls out a gun and waves it around.

KEVIN: Hey! Over here you big hunk of metal! Big metal hunk! Hunky metal guy!

LYLA: Kevin!!

KEVIN: Don't worry, sweetie, it'll be okay.

The robot switches his attention to KEVIN, where KEVIN starts shooting. Closeup of a bullet bouncing off of the robot's thick, metal armor.

KEVIN: Oh no! It's bulletproof. What now!

The robot laughs: "ha ha ha." and KEVIN drops his gun. He runs full speed ahead to the robot, and punches it in the face. The robot stumbles, but shakes it off. The robot swings a punch at KEVIN, and KEVIN falls to the floor. The robot laughs again using the same sound. KEVIN tries to get away while on the floor, still weak.

KEVIN: Please, Mr. Robot-

The robot falls to the floor, and we see LYLA standing behind him with her fist out. Nice going, Lyla.

KEVIN: Babe!!!! That was AMAZING!

LYLA: What can I say, I-

All of a sudden, a laser shoots through LYLA, killing her. She collapses to the floor.

KEVIN: Noooooooooooooo!!!!!! Whyyyyyyyy!!!

The robot laughs again: "ha ha ha." KEVIN is pissed. Completely ticked off. T-O'd. The robot gets up, and brushes himself off. KEVIN stands up, and eyes down the robot with a major, intense death stare. They stand apart from each other, like a Western draw. They look at each other for a good amount of time, until:

KEVIN: Why you...

KEVIN runs forward, furious. He starts beating the crap out of this robot dude. The robot falls to the floor, and KEVIN takes a deep breath. He rips open the back of it, and pulls out the wires. It's dead. CHRIS comes running to the scene, just in time.

CHRIS: Jesus dude, you were awesome out there.

KEVIN: Yeah. Thanks.

CHRIS: Sorry about Kyla. You guys seemed good together.

KEVIN doesn't respond.

CHRIS: Look at this robot, man. This puppy is sweet.

KEVIN: This puppy just killed my girlfriend.

CHRIS: So? We gotta take this thing back and take a closer look at it.

They drag the robot into the trunk of their car, and they head back home. What a day.

SCENE 13 -

They arrive at CHRIS'S house, and they set the robot down on the table. CHRIS plugs a USB cord into it, and connects it to his computer.

CHRIS: I need to access the mainframe and download all of this encrypted information.

ERIKA: How long is this going to take? We don't have much time.

CHRIS: Not long. Once I'm in this'll be a piece of cake.

A popup on the screen pops up, showing the download progress. Some music plays while it's downloading, and CHRIS is violently hitting the keys on the keyboard. Camera gets a closeup of CHRIS'S forehead, where there is a bead of sweat. This is crazy, bro. The progress bar reaches 100%, and CHRIS wipes the sweat off of his brow.

CHRIS: I'm in.

Everyone claps.- "hooray." The robot jolts to life, and a screen of codes/commands pops up.

ROBOT [in a robot voice]: Ro-Bot.

CHRIS types in "robot tell truth" in the command box, and hits enter.

CHRIS: Who are you?

ROBOT: Robotron-5000.

CHRIS: I mean who were you before you got turned into a robot.

ROBOT: I don't remember.

CHRIS: Why are you trying to attack people? What's your goal here.

ROBOT: I don't know. I'm just programmed to attack. That's all I know.

CHRIS looks at the code and finds the word "attack." He deletes it and replaces it with "help."

ROBOT: Thank you, much better.

CHRIS: Now that you're on our side, you're gonna have to tell us how to defeat the robots and save the world.

ROBOT: I'm afraid I can't tell you that.

CHRIS inputs the command "tell how to save world" and hits enter.

ROBOT: Okay. Okay. You will have to play music better than the robots. The robots run on music, and they will take over the world unless someone can play better than them. But it's no use trying, they're robots, they play perfectly every time. There's no way you can beat them.

CHRIS: But we have something they don't have: soul.

CHRIS dials up BRAD on his cellular phone.

BRAD: Yo dude, what's good?

CHRIS: Long story short, we need you on guitar to save the world.

BRAD: What are you talking about bro?

CHRIS: The robots are taking over the world, bro, and the only way to beat them is by outplaying them.

BRAD: That sounds hella tight man, when is this?

CHRIS: As soon as possible, are you down?

BRAD: Yeah bro, come pick me up?

CHRIS: Yeah we will be there soon.

BRAD: Sounds like a plan, man.

CHRIS hangs up, and they all go to the car, and the robot takes a little extra to get there cause he is big and chunky and slow. In the car, ERIKA pulls out a CD, and pops it in. The band's music starts playing, and CHRIS smiles and drives off. They arrive at BRAD'S house, and they knock on the door.

SCENE 14 -

CHRIS: Hello? Brad! Are you in here? Haha come out!

BRAD opens the door.

BRAD: Hello! It's Chris!

CHRIS: That's me.

BRAD: Jesus H Christ! ROBOT!

CHRIS: It's okay, Brad, I rewired the mainframe and reprogrammed his code and now he's on our side.

BRAD: Wow Chris, you're so smart. Come on in, I gotta grab my guitar. Can I get you guys something to drink?

CHRIS: I'm okay.

ERIKA: Milk.

KEVIN: Mineral Water.

BRAD: Sounds like a plan, brochachos.

Cut to them in the living room, the TV is showing footage of robot attacks around the world. BRAD comes out with the milk and the mineral water.

BRAD: Bone appa tee!

KEVIN: Thanks, Brad.

BRAD: No problem, broski. So, you gotta explain to me what's happening. All I know is that there are killer robots rampaging through the streets.

CHRIS starts to explain the situation, and it fades to them explaining the situation to the other band members.

CHRIS [throughout all of the band members/scenes]: Alright, so, the story, as it happened, as I remember it, it started off with the one robot in the bar, then next thing I know, and you were there for it, Jeff turned into one. I went to my clients house the next day, and a robot had been there, too. I started to take things more and more seriously, and I analyzed one of the computer chips that was left behind at my clients house, and I found out I worked on a computer with the same manufacturer as the robot, still not sure what that was about, but I was able to find out more on the robots from there. Then Kevin's girlfriend got killed by a robot, and then Kevin beat the living daylight out of him. It was very cool! Good job Kevin, for once. So we brought the robot back to my house and we turned him good, and we got him to tell us that we needed to beat the robots in a fight to the death, of music, to
