Odder Human (sequel to Odd Human) Page #2

STALLONE:

What?

STALLONE:

Yes, it appears that I scared him to death.

CHARLIE claps her hands.

CHARLIE:

So your anything did save the day, after all.

Blake steps forward.

Blake

Is it true? Did you kill the odd human?

STALLONE:

Blake how long have you been...?

Blake puts her arm around STALLONE.

Blake

Long enough.

STALLONE:

Then you saw it for yourself. I killed Georgina Barker.

Blake

Then the Teenagers are safe?

STALLONE:

It does seem that way!

A crowd of vulnerable Teenagers enter, looking relived.

Blake

You are their hero.

The Teenagers bow to STALLONE.

STALLONE:

There is no need to bow to me. I seek no worship. The knowledge that Georgina Barker will never squish Teenagers ever again, is enough for me.

Blake

You are humble as well as brave!

One of the Teenagers passes STALLONE a healing severed green finger

Blake

I think they want you to have it, as a symbol of their gratitude.

STALLONE:

I couldn't possibly.

Pause.

STALLONE:

Well, if you insist.

STALLONE takes the severed green finger.

STALLONE:

Thank you.

The Teenagers bow their heads once more, and leave.

STALLONE turns to Blake.

STALLONE:

Does this mean you want me back?

Blake

Oh, Stallone, of course I want you back!

STALLONE smiles for a few seconds, but then looks defiant.

STALLONE:

Well you can't have me.

Blake

WHAT?

STALLONE:

You had no faith in me. You had to see my scare a human to death before you would believe in me. I don't want a lover like that.

Blake

But...

STALLONE:

Please leave. I want to spend time with the one person who stayed with me through thick and thin - my best friend, Charlie.

CHARLIE grins.

Blake

But...

CHARLIE:

You heard the gentleman. Now be off with you. Skidaddle! Shoo!

Blake

Stallone?

STALLONE:

I'm sorry Blake, but I think you should skidaddle.

Blake leaves.

CHARLIE turns to STALLONE.

CHARLIE:

Did you mean that? You know ... that I'm your best friend?

STALLONE:

Of course you are!

INT. PLAYGROUND - AFTERNOON

Overly Awkward lawyer MR. STALLONE ALONE is arguing with Nice Chef MS. Blake BLUNDER. STALLONE tries to hug Blake but she shakes him off.

STALLONE:

NO!

Blake

I'm sorry Stallone, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces his fears head on.

STALLONE:

I am such a failure!

Blake frowns as she slowly walks off.

Blake

I'm sorry, Stallone. I just don't feel like I love you.

Blake leaves.

STALLONE sits down, looking defeated.

Moments later, caring Yoga Instructor MRS. CHARLIE WEATHERS barges in, looking attractive as ever.

STALLONE:

Goodness, Charlie! Is everything okay?

CHARLIE:
