Galaxy Quest Page #3

GUY:

Ship's Tech Sergeant Chen... Fred Kwan!

Fred strolls out with a casual wave.

FRED AS CHEN:

"Give me a stick of gum and a hairpin and we re on our way!"

8BACKSTAGE -

Gwen and Jason are wrestling on the ground with Alexander.

GWEN:

Alex you can't -just leave.

ALEXANDER:

Oh can't I? Watch me!

JASON:

Come on, old friend...

ALEXANDER:

Friend. You stole all my best lines. You cut me out of episode

two entirely!..

GUY (O.S. FROM THE STAGE)

The beautiful shipmate Tawny Madison... GWEN DEMARCO!

9ONSTAGE -

Gwen takes the stage noticeably ruffled. In the film clip, Tawny

Madison looks around the cabin fearfully.

COMPUTER:

One hundred degrees and rising...

GWEN AS TAWNY ~~~ISON

"It's... It's getting hotter, Commander.'"

Many "appreciative" WHISTLES. Gwen forces a smile.

GUY:

And now... The Commander's advisor and closest friend. His

peaceful nature ever at odds with the savage warrior inside him,

after witnessing the massacre of his entire species as a boy...

We see a splitscreen shot of Alexander, one mild mannered, the

other a savage beast of vengeance, tearing into a foe.

10BACKSTAGE - Jason still in a wrestling match with

Alexander.

JASON:

You WILL go out there.

ALEXANDER:

I won't and nothing you say-

JASON:

"The show must go on."

ALEXANDER:

...Damn you! Damn you!

GUY (cont'd) (O.S.)

"Dr. Lazarus of Tev'meck"... Alexander Dane

11ON STAGE -

Alex bounds up on stage, bowing deep with grace and humility.

The stage trained British actor.

ALEX AS LAZARUS ONSCREEN

"By Grabthar's hammer, you shall be avenged.'"

Alex cringes, desperately unhappy

GUY:

And finally, my fellow Questarians, the brave Commander of the

NSEA PROTECTOR... Peter Quincy Taggart ... JASON NESMITH.

Jason appears and a SPOTLIGHT follows him.

TOMMY:

Unbelievable. He rented a SPOT?

Jason raises his fist encouraging the FANS to cry out...

JASON/JASON ON SCREEN/EVERYONE

"NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER... DAMN THE RESONANCE CANNONS,

FULL SPEED AHEAD.'"

The fans go crazy. The actors exchange glances.

GUY:

The Commander and his crew will be signing autographs on imperial

decks "b" and "c" near the coke machines.

12CONVENTION HALLWAY

It's quiet. We're on FOUR PAIRS OF BOOTS walking down the

hallway. We PAN UP to reveal FIVE SERIOUS LOOKING YOUNG PEOPLE,

4 men and a woman, clean cut as Disneyland employees and

impeccably outfitted in GALAXY QUEST style uniforms. Something

odd about them you can't quite put your finger on.. For now we'll

refer to them as THE PECULIAR FANS.

13CONVENTION HALL

We move with the PECULIAR FANS as they enter the bustling

convention floor, making their way past the numerous FANS dressed

as their favorite GALAXY QUEST characters... through the various

booths selling GALAXY QUEST and other Si-fi memorabilia, catching

snippets of conversation along the way: They pass two

ELABORATELY COSTUMED ALIEN FANS talking.
