Night of the Comet Page #2

Synopsis: It's the first comet to buzz our planet Earth in 65 million years, and everyone seems to be celebrating its imminent arrival. Everyone except Regina Belmont, and her younger sister Samantha, two Valley Girls who care more about fashion trends than celestial phenomena. But upon daybreak, when the girls discover that they are the only residents of Los Angeles whom the comet hasn't vaporized or turned into a zombie, they would do what all Valley Girls do - they go shopping. However, with the help of a friendly truck driver, the girls save Earth and escape from flesh-eating zombies and blood-seeking scientists in hot pursuit.

I couldn't care less what she did.

But if your father makes it back home

without some Sandinista

blowing his brains out,

he's gonna hold me responsible

for any kind of trouble

you two girls get into.

What we have here is a chain of command.

The Major jumps on me, I jump on you.

Did you get that? Okay.

- Now, are you going to join the party?

- Join the party for what Doris?

So I can watch Chuck from across the street

stick his hands down your pants?

I think that's something

Daddy should know.

Chuck's a nice guy.

He's certainly nice to be with

while Daddy's down in Banana Land.

You were born with an a**hole, Doris.

You don't need Chuck.

Looks like a real nice crowd

we have out here tonight.

Sarah, Chucky.

Hey, where have you been? You're gonna

miss everything. It's going to start.

Oh, kids.

I'll never marry another man with kids.

In 1910, Halley's comet returned.

Everybody thought

they were going to die then.

- What was that?

- Look!

You wanna know what bugs me about all this?

What?

Well, I'm always afraid

someone's gonna see us, you know?

See us how? There's no windows.

They can't see through walls.

Well, Superman can see through walls.

Not these walls. They're made out of steel.

Used to be a fire law.

Superman can see through steel.

No, it's the one thing he cannot see through.

That's lead, you nerd.

- Lead?

Yeah. I mean, Superman can see through

steel like it wasn't there, even.

Larry!

Well, I guess I'm the only one who's not

outside watching the meteor shower.

Perhaps put the radio on autopilot

and leave me.

I just might put the radio station

on autopilot and sneak out myself.

This is the Big K

of Los Angeles. A great-looking morning

in southern California. 50,000 watts

of oil, steel, and passion FM in the a.m..

It's wake-up time in the City of Angels.

And I'm Steve LaBeau.

- God damn it!

- What?

What?

I've been waiting by that door

for the last 30 minutes,

and that pinhead hasn't brought

the film back yet.

Give the guy a break.

I mean, people are late sometimes.

No, something's wrong.

If he screwed that film up,

we could all be in a lot of trouble.

I'm gonna go over there on the bike.

Oh, jeez!

Don't I get an Egg McMuffin or anything?

- You could do me a favor.

- I did you a favor last night.

If that guy calls,

you tell him I'm on my way over,

and I'm very, very, very, very pissed.

- Hey, what about my 15 bucks?

- Tell him you're pissed, too.

DMK.

You trust people, you get

screwed over every goddamn time.

Is that you?

Yeah, it's about frigging time.

That's the end of you, DMK.

You're history.

God, bad smog.

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

Oh, damn it!

Just great!
