-- A Newcomer lowrider pulls up beside the slug-mobile.
-- An alien couple exit a theater playing "Terminator
III".
-- An alien wig shop.
ANGLE:
TITLES END, and we start to PULL BACK into the slug-mobile
and HEAR:
TUGGLE (O.S.)
So you gonna go, or you not gonna
go?
INT. SLUG-MOBILE - NIGHT
The dashboard is littered with fast-food detritus and two
coffees in styrofoam cups making fog circles on the
windshield. A hand picks up one of the coffees and we
FOLLOW IT to a face, a forty-year-old cop face that's seen
some wear and tear -- behind the wheel is MATT SYKES.
Beside him is his partner of nine years, BILL TUGGLE.
Tuggle expertly munches on a slice of pizza as he talks.
SYKES:
How can I go?
TUGGLE:
Put on your wash-and-wear suit and
your clip-on tie, have your landlady
tie your shoes for you, and show up
at the church. Simple.
(beat)
Me and Carol are going.
SYKES:
What?
TUGGLE:
Hey, look -- we've known Kristin
since... since she was conceived in
that cabin up in Big Bear.
Remember? You and Edie banged the
wall so hard, me and Carol were
picking plaster out of our hair for
a week...
SYKES:
Goddammit, Tug -- I want to see
Kristin get married, okay? But--
TUGGLE:
But you're bummed because your ex
and her new husband are paying for
the whole thing.
SYKES:
Sh*t, if Kristin had to get married
where I could afford it, we'd be
holding the reception at Buddy's
Burgers.
Sykes stares out the window, wallowing in his pissed-off
mood. Then he spots something that twinges his street-cop
radar.
SYKES:
Uh-oh... Check it out.
THROUGH THE WINDOW Tuggle sees what Sykes sees: two ALIENS
in long coats moving down the sidewalk, entering a mom-
and-pop mini-mart on the corner. One of them wears dark
glasses and a red bandana (KIPLING): the other has on a
black vinyl raincoat.
SYKES:
Does that look at all suspicious to
you?
TUGGLE:
Whatever gave you that idea?
EXT. STREET - NIGHT
Sykes continues up a quarter of a block, pulls to the curb
INT. SEDAN - NIGHT
Sykes is already pulling his gun. Tuggle quickly reaches
for the radio in the glovebox.
TUGGLE:
This is one-Henry-seven, we've got a
possible two-eleven in progress at
Porter's Mini-Mart, corner of Court
and Alvarado. Requesting backup.
Impulsive Sykes is already opening his door and climbing
out.
SYKES:
Let's do it, partner.
Tuggle drops the radio mike and follows Sykes as the Radio
Dispatcher confirms the call.
EXT. STREET - NIGHT
The two cops, guns in hand, move along the row of parked
cars across the street from the mini-mart. Through the
store window they see the old alien PROPRIETOR behind the
counter. His eyes go wide as Kipling whips back his coat
and yanks out a short combat pump-shotgun and aims it
right at him. The Raincoat alien pulls an identical gun
and covers the door.
