Little Nicky Page #2

NICKY:

Good, thanks.

Cassius snaps his fingers in Nicky's face.

CASSIUS:

Hey. Hey. Hey. Wanna mind wrestle?

Cassius' eyes start glowing red.

NICKY:

Actually, I'll take a rain check on0

Nicky is slammed into a nearby desk as if by an invisible

force.

CASSIUS:

Got ya!

NICKY:

(picking up his head)

Yes, you got me...

Nicky's head slams back down again.

CASSIUS:

Got ya, again!

NICKY:

(picking head up)

Got me for sure, yes...

He grabs a lamp off the desk and cracks himself over the

head.

CASSIUS:

Got ya! Now here's the big finish...

Nicky frowns as he finds his own right hand heading for his

own crotch.

NICKY:

Oh no. Please Cassius...

Nicky's hand is being possessed. It gets closer and closer

until it latches on to Nicky's crotch.

NICKY (CONT'D)

Aaaaah.

Cassius concentrates even harder, making Nicky twist his own

hand. Nicky screams even louder. Adrian smiles. They don't

notice that DAD, wearing a sweatsuit (and with very small

devil horns), enters behind them.

DAD:

What are you boys doing?

Cassius releases Nicky's hand.

NICKY:

Nothing, Dad. Just re-arranging the

furniture.

DAD:

Cassius, didn't I tell you to stay out

of your brother's mind?

CASSIUS:

I forgot.

DAD:

Maybe this will help you remember.

Dad's eyes flash red and Cassius punches himself hard in the

nose, sending him back against the wall and down to the

floor.

Dad gives Nicky a wink. Nicky smiles. Dad has an air of

confidence and power.

DAD (CONT'D)

Now everybody sit down.

NICKY:

Hey, Dad, I'm almost finished laying

down my monsters of metal compilation

tape. I really think it's a

masterpiece.

DAD:

Okay, kid, we'll listen to it later.

He leads the boys to the throne area. We see outside the

window the peeper staring in sexily. Dad looks, shakes his

head. Just then, THE BIRD appears and attacks him. Dad

closes the curtains.

Nicky, Adrian and Cassius sit on little stools at the foot of

his throne. Dad lights a cigarette with his finger, the tip

of which glows red like a cigarette lighter and looks down at

his three sons.

DAD (CONT'D)

My dad, your granddad, Lucifer, was

thrown out of Heaven by G-d and rules

here in hell for ten thousand years.

And after this ten thousand years had

passed, he decided to abdicate his

throne...

Confused, Nicky sheepishly raises his hand.

DAD (CONT'D)

...to step aside.

(Nicky lowers his hand)

...and let me become the ruler of hell.

This, as some of you might know, is my

ten thousandth year as Prince of

Darkness. So I think the time has come

to discuss who will succeed me.

Jimmy the Demon walks in.

JIMMY THE DEMON:

Knock, knock.

DAD:

Yes, Jimmy.

He whispers in Dad's ear.

DAD (CONT'D)

No, no, that's not what I said. He can

keep his thumbs, but the fingers gotta

go.
