BearShark: Love

Kevin Corrigan, Caldwell Tanner & Owen Parsons

          EXT. OCEAN

          STEVE, 20s, boogie boards. He rides a wave, then paddles out
          to do it again. He catches another wave, but-Oh shit! BEAR
          is riding SHARK like a boogie board right behind him. The
          two bite furiously as they gain on Steve. Just as they're
          about to eat him, a hand reaches down and yanks Steve up to
          safety on a pier. BEVERLY, way cute, breathes a sigh of
          relief with Steve.

          Shark leaps straight up out of the water. Bear wields
          Steve's boogie board like a baseball bat. He slams Shark at
          Steve and Beverly like a home run. Right on the moment of
          impact-

          FREEZE FRAME. TITLE CARD: BEAR-SHARK!

          Shark flies toward Beverly in a slow motion spiral. Steve
          pulls Beverly out of harm's away. Their eyes catch each
          other and they instantly fall in love. Behind them, still in
          slow-motion, Shark falls to the pier. He squirms like a fish
          out of water and bites at them. They walk off off.

          Note: From here on Steve and Beverly mostly ignore bear and
          shark. They are unfazed by the attacks.

          

          EXT. BEACH

          Steve is burying Beverly in the sand and sculpting a mermaid
          tail for her. A REAL FISH TAIL pops out of the sand-tail and
          waves around. Steve is confused. The rest of the sand comes
          off. REVEAL shark has Beverly in his mouth from the waist
          down. Steve yanks Beverly out. Shark lunges for them, but
          falls face first into the hole Beverly was in. He waves his
          tail, but is stuck. Steve and Beverly laugh, then hold
          hands.

          EXT. CITY - FORTUNE TELLER

          Beverly wants to go in. Steve decides "aw what the heck."

          INT. FORTUNE TELLER ROOM

          Beverly and Steve stare into a crystal ball as FORTUNE
          TELLER waves her arms around, mystically. Smoke clears in
          the ball. Bear can be seen inside. REVEAL Bear's head is
          actually inside the ball. He stands up, lifting the table
          with him. Beverly and Steve are startled and flee. Bear,
          still wearing table, pursues them off-screen. The Fortune
          Teller clears her throat. Beat. Bear returns and opens his
          wallet, gives the fortune teller a dollar. Fortune teller
          points to a "$5" sign. Bear grumbles, gives her four more
          dollars.

          EXT. CITY - RAINING

          Steve puts his jacket over a puddle on the ground for
          Beverly. Shark immediately chomps down on the jacket from
          inside the puddle. Steve and Beverly walk around him as
          Shark chokes on jacket.

          EXT. THEME PARK - CARNIVAL GAME

          Steve and Beverly see a MILK BOTTLE GAME. REVEAL Shark
          working the game, disguised as a carnie with hat, mustache
          and cane. Steve throws the ball at the bottles, knocking
          over all but one. Shark bumps the stand so the last bottle
          falls over and congratulates Steve. He holds out Steve's
          prize. It is Bear, disguised as a teddy bear. Beverly
          signals that she doesn't want it, and that Shark should give
          it to a nearby ORPHAN KID instead. Orphan Kid takes bear.
          Bear begrudgingly eats him.

          EXT. STREET

          Steve and Beverly ride a tandem bike. Bear and Shark try to
          follow on a tandem bike, but shark's fins can't reach the
          peddles. They wobble and fall into the bushes. Bear and
          Shark pop up from the shrubs in time to see Steve kneel down
          in front of Beverly & propose. Beverly blushes, nods. They
          embrace. Bear and Shark look sad and sulk off.

          EXT. PIER

          We hear wedding bells. Pan down to see Steve and Beverly
          being married by a priest. The priest gestures for them to
          kiss. Tight shot on Beverly smiling. Steve goes in for a
          kiss. Beverly pulls back her veil, then pulls off her face
          to reveal she was BEAR THE WHOLE TIME. Bear unzips the rest
          of his Beverly costume. Steve's jaw drops in terror.

          Jetski noise. Steve spins in time to see Shark and ANOTHER
          BEAR pull up on a jetski. Shark unzips Another Bear's
          costume, revealing Beverly! Steve reaches in her direction,
          as if you say "Oh no! My love is in danger!" Beverly turns
          to Shark and MAKES OUT with him on the jetski.

          Steve tears up. Just as he starts crying, Bear abruptly
          shoves him off the pier. Shark leaps and catches Steve,
          still crying, inside his mouth. Shark and Bear high-five in
          one fluid motion.

          EXT. ULTRA-TOKYO III

          GIANT BEAR ROBOT and GIANT SHARK ROBOT stand amidst the
          ruins of downtown. ANIME STEVE cowers below.

          INSERT: Split-screen of Bear and Shark in their cockpits
          powering up.

          The two robots transform into one single BearSharkbot a-la
          Voltron. Steve makes a HOW CAN THIS BE? face. Bearsharkbot
          picks up Steve and eats him very mechanically.

          END.
