Starship Troopers Page #4
JOHNNY:
Then how come you won't hold hands with me
at school ?
CARMEN:
I don't want everyone to see.
JOHNNY:
Why won't you kiss me when we're all alone ?
CARMEN:
How come that's all you talk about anymore ?
JOHNNY:
It's all I think about anymore.
Indeed, they are all alone now. The look in Johnny's eye says how
about it. Carmen grins, reaches for Johnny's hand.
11EXTPUPLIC TRANSPORTATION - DAY - CARMEN
and Johnny stand together near a bank of TRANSPORTERS.
CARMEN:
You can't walk me home.
JOHNNY:
Why not ?
CARMEN:
I thought you were going to help Carl.
JOHNNY:
Carl can wait.
CARMEN:
Johnny, my Dad's home today.
Johnny's face darkens with frustration.
JOHNNY:
What's he got against me... I mean, I 'm
a teenager. You can't be a citizen when
you're only a teenager !
CARMEN:
It's not you, Johnny. Your parents are rich
they don't need to be citizens, and that stuff
means a lot to my dad. He's a veteran.
JOHNNY:
Well, if your dad doesn't like me, how come
we're such good friends ?
CARMEN:
Sometimes I do what I want, eh ?
Carmen steps into the flux.ZAPPP!She's gone.
Johnny grins, happy to be in love.
12INTCARL'S HOUSE - BASEMENT - DAY - JOHNNY
is hard-wired to the stacks of processing units that comprise Carl's
basement workshop. Carl concentrates on the image of a playing card,
the six of diamonds, displayed on a monitor.
CARL:
Don't think about it... go on instinct.
JOHNNY:
Ace of spades.
The ace of spades appears, and the computer indicates "no match".
Carl puts another card up, the jack of diamonds.
CARL:
Statistically speaking you should've accidentally
guessed right by know.
JOHNNY:
In addition to "psychic dolt" this test also proves
I'm unlucky ? Two of hearts.
Wrong again.
CARL:
Luck is not a factor. No one really knows why
some people are sensitive and some aren't.
Federal studies like this might provide a clue.
The next card up is the nine of clubs.
JOHNNY:
I wouldn't want to know what everyone was
thinking. Four of spades.
Suddenly, A GIANT YELLOW FROG jumps onto the keyboard, fritzing
the monitor. Johnny removes the blindfold.
CARL:
Cyrano, you big yellow turd !
Johnny knows this frog, scratches him on the neck.
JOHNNY:
He just wants attention. You don't play with
him like you used to.
Carl concentrates for a moment.
CARL:
Go bug Mom, Cyrano.
Cyrano's eyes widen. He hops off the table and up the stairs two at
a time. Carl clears the screen.
JOHNNY:
How do you make him do that ?
CARL:
I gave him the impression that there was a fly crawling
up my mom's leg. He is going to go eat it.
From upstairs, CARL'S MOM shrieks.
MOM (O.S.)
Get out ! Get out ! CARL...!
JOHNNY:
Carl, promise me you won't ever do anything like that
to me.
