Troopers: Bathroom Run
By Ben Joseph, Owen Parsons & Patrick Cassels
INT. DREADCRUISER -- CELL BLOCK
Larry slurps out the last of an ENORMOUS JUICE BAG.
LARRY
(breathing hard)
Ha! Two minutes! Pay up, Rich.
CUT WIDE: Rich, just entering, puts down his lunch box.
RICH
What? I literally just got here.
Where did you get that giant juice bag?
LARRY
Uh, nowhere.
MR. CANKERSCHMIDT (O.S.)
Where's my juice bag?
LARRY
You drank it already, Mr.
Cankerscmhidt!
Larry takes a FINAL SIP. His stomach RUMBLES. He keels a
little.
LARRY
(grumble; in pain)
Oh I have to piss.
RICH
Well, somebody jettisoned our
bathroom into space.
LARRY
That was partially the bathroom's
fault.
RICH
Try the next floor.
LARRY
Ugh. That's so far.
(gets up; exits)
It's like my pelvis is juggling a
water balloon.
WHIP UP TO:
INT. HALLWAY -- LEVEL 502
Larry waddles in. There's a door with Dreadtrooper symbol on
it (like a bathroom). Painted next to the door: LEVEL 502.
He arrives at the bathroom door, sighs, and opens it.
HORRIBLE TENTACLES flop out. There's an alien SCREAM.
LARRY
Oh God!
Larry fights off the tentacles and closes the door. Beat.
TENTACLE MONSTER (VO)
(regular pleasant voice)
Dude! Learn to knock!
Larry, scared, turns & sprints off.
WHIP UP TO FLOOR 503.
LARRY
(running in)
Ohmygod I'm gonna be a piss geyser.
As he says this Larry bumps into the PRINCESS, about to
enter the bathroom herself.
LARRY
Ah! Princess!
PRINCESS
Are you going in or what?
LARRY
Me? Bathroom? No, grossamundo! I
don't do that. My body just, um,
converts waste into muscles.
PRINCESS
So you're made of piss?
Larry's bladder RUMBLES.
LARRY
Okay, just stay here. I'm gonna run
upstairs real quick. Then I'll come
escort you back to the prison wing.
PRINCESS
No.
LARRY
You promise?
PRINCESS
No.
LARRY
You promise?
PRINCESS
You get how words work, right?
LARRY
Okay, see you in a sec!
Larry exits.
WHIP UP TO FLOOR 504.
Larry gets in line behind LIZARDMAN.
LARRY (O.C.)
Why did God curse me with only one
bladder?
Flush, another TROOPER exits the bathroom. Lizardman starts
in; turns to Larry.
LIZARDMAN
(subtitled gibberish)
Uh... This might take a while. I
have nineteen assholes.
Door closes behind Lizardman.
LARRY
Ugh! Screw this. Computer! Find me
the closest vacant restroom!
COMPUTER
Searching. Searching. Still
Searching.
Larry GROANS in pain.
COMPUTER
Got it. The nearest bathroom is..
That way.
LARRY
Which way?
COMPUTER
You know, over there.
LARRY
You're not pointing at anything!
You don't have hands!
COMPUTER
Sure. Just rub it in.
LARRY
Agh, I'm too full of juice to deal
with this!
WHIP UP TO FLOOR 515
Larry runs in. Two TROOPERS are already standing in line. He
barrels past them.
LARRY
Excuse me! Sorry! Juice-mergency!
One Dreadtrooper grabs his shoulder, stopping him.
DREADTROOPER 1
(female voice)
Hey, this is the ladies room! Can't
you read?
She points to the bathroom symbol. It's just a Dreadtrooper
in full armor & mask.
DREADTROOPER 1 (O.C.)
Pervert!
WHIP UP TO FLOOR 522
Larry runs in. The door is locked. He bangs on it.
LARRY
(so desperate)
WHO IS IN THERE?
CHASE (O.C.)
Larry? It's me, Chase. I'm still
duct taped to the toilet.
LARRY
Ha ha, oh yeah.
Larry walks off giggling.
CHASE (O.C.)
So you guys gonna let me out, or-
WHIP UP TO FLOOR 531
Larry runs down a hallway. He's not going to make it.
LARRY (O.C.)
(panting heavily)
I can't wait! Forgive me door!
He turns to a random door. He unbuckles and begins urinating
against it. He sighs massively, relieved.
Door slides open to reveal DREADLORD. Larry is now peeing
directly on Dreadlord. Beat of horrified silence.
LARRY
Uh... how ya doin'?
DREADLORD
I can't tell. Sort of numb with
rage, I guess. Hmm.
(looks at his hands.)
Interesting. I'll have to go
process this. Good day.
He exits past Larry, who is still urinating.
END.
POST-HUH
Dreadlord sits at his desk in silence, lost in thought. He
gives a sudden jerk, and looks up. He starts to scream in
anger, building to a climax. Just before it reaches its
climax, we cut abruptly.
