Dinosaur Office: Volcano Drill

By

Kevin Corrigan, Caldwell Tanner & Brian Murphy

          INT. DINOSAUR OFFICE

          CRAIG and TODD talk by the WATER COOLER.

                              CRAIG
                    Can you believe this weather?

                              TODD
                    I didn't need a coat yesterday, but
                    today I needed a coat.

                              CRAIG
                    It's not even the temperature, it's
                    the wind chill.

          A LOUD RUMBLE from O.C., followed by an explosion.

          The FIRE ALARM goes off.

                              TODD
                    Ugh.  Must be the monthly volcano
                    drill.  What a waste of time.

                              CRAIG
                    I'm not going anywhere.

                              TODD
                    Let's not let it ruin our
                    conversation.

          Awkward pause.  Smoke starts to fill the room.

                              TODD
                    I can't believe it's only Tuesday,
                    it feels like such a Thursday.

          The wall catches fire.  Lava oozes across the floor.

                              CRAIG
                    So how's your garden?

                              TODD
                    I have more cucumbers than I know
                    what to do with.

                              CRAIG
                    Talk about a good problem.

          A wall breaks down, more lava.  TERRY runs in.

                              TERRY
                    Hey guys, even if this is a drill,
                    I need you to take it seriously.

                              TERRY
                    Let's head outside so we can get a
                    head cou-AHHH!

          Terry catches fire.  He roars and runs like a real dinosaur
          in pain, waiving his tiny arms and attacking office
          supplies.

                              TODD
                    Fine.  I'll grab my coat.

                              CRAIG
                    I guess I'll just be cold.

          Craig exits.  Camera follows Todd as he walks to the right
          directly into a pool of lava.  He starts to sink in.

                              TODD
                    This is the worst thing imaginable.

          A column of lava crashes through the ceiling, covering Todd,
          charring him black everywhere except his eyes.  Todd's
          entire body ignites.

                              TODD
                    My cell phone is ruined.

          END.
