BearShark: Space

By

Kevin Corrigan, Owen Parsons & Caldwell Tanner

          EXT. CAPE CANAVERAL - DAY

          A peaceful Florida town. STEVE enters, already running for
          his life. He sprints past several buildings, passing a brick
          wall with large poster attached. Steve pauses, and backs up
          to read the poster.

          Poster: "Need to Get Away? Become an Astronaut! The Ultimate
          Escape!"

          Steve stares at it, thinking hard. A lasso  whizzes by his
          head and lands on the ground. Steve spins around. Reveal
          BEAR riding a motorcycle. Shark is on the back wearing a
          cowboy hat twirling a lasso.

          Steve bolts, leaving a dust cloud version of himself behind.
          Shark catches the dust cloud in his lasso and then eats it.
          Wide shot: Steve runs down a pathway into a giant ASTRONAUT
          TRAINING CENTER. Bear and Shark follow.

          INT. LOBBY

          Bear and Shark burst in. They find Steve furiously filling
          out a form. He finishes, shoves it to the secretary and runs
          down the hall. Bear and Shark go to follow. Secretary stops
          him and points to a sign "Astronauts Only Beyond This
          Point." Bear and Shark think for a second, then start
          frantically filling out the astronaut application form. They
          finish, hand it to the secretary, and bolt down the hall.

          INT. PHYSICAL EXAM ROOM

          Steve blows into a tube to lift a ball. PROFESSOR gives him
          a thumbs up. Steve runs out.

          INT. HALLWAY

          Steve exits a room and runs into the next one as Bear and
          Shark pursue him, but then go in the Physical Exam Room.

          INT. PHYSICAL EXAM ROOM

          Bear and Shark wear hospital gowns. PROFESSOR tests Shark's
          reflexes as Bear blows into the ball/tube. Professor hits
          shark's fin with his triangle thing. In response, Shark
          chomps onto professor's upper half. Professor, still in
          Shark's mouth, stamps approved on a piece of paper. Bear and
          Shark throw off their hospital gowns and run out of the
          room.

          INT. TREADMILL ROOM

          Steve runs on a treadmill covered in sensors. He looks
          behind him. Bear and Shark are running on a treadmill behind
          Steve, they are covered in sensors. Steve finishes his run
          and runs out of the room.

          INT. CLASSROOM

          Steve frantically answers questions on a test. He goes to
          the front of the classroom and hands it to a professor.
          Professor looks at it, writes A+ and gives him a thumbs up.
          Steve runs out. Bear and Shark run in the open door and take
          the test. They hand it to the professor who looks at it,
          writes F- and gives them a thumbs down.

          INT. LIBRARY

          Bear and Shark, wearing glasses, rush to read astronaut
          books.

          INT. CLASSROOM

          Bear and Shark receive another F from professor. They menace
          at him. He cowers and changes it to a D-. They're pumped.

          INT. CENTRIFUGE ROOM

          Steve, and Bear and Shark, are on two different centrifuges.
          We see their faces crammed back by the g-forces, revealing
          Shark's multiple rows of teeth. The centrifuges stop. They
          resume chase, but very dizzily. Shark stops and barfs a live
          cat then shrugs.

          EXT. ROCKET PAD

          Bear and Shark in space suits run out just in time to see
          Steve's space ship lift off. Steve waves to Bear and Shark
          from a window. Bear and Shark look defeated.

          EXT. SPACE

          Steve looks out his window calmly as Earth gets smaller.
          Wait, what's that? A rickety, old Cosmonaut ship putters
          toward him. Bear and Shark are inside wearing Cosmonaut
          space suits. They hold knives, forks, and fasten napkin bibs
          with Steve's face on them. They are gaining on Steve.
          Suddenly, one of Bear and Shark's rocket boosters goes out,
          sending them spiraling and bumping Steve's ship. Steve looks
          out the port hole and sees Bear and Shark's ship spinning
          away. He's relieved, then panicked. Steve's ship disappears
          through a black hole.

          EXT. BEACH

          Steve's ship has crashed and is mangled. Steve throws the
          hatch open and gets out. He limps out onto the beach. A
          bunch of Bears and Sharks on horses ride toward him. Steve
          turns to run but stops short. He looks up and gasps. REVEAL
          a BearShark Statue of Liberty sticking out of the sand. It
          is Bear holding Shark like a torch. Steve falls to his
          knees. Bear's hand appears on his shoulder. Steve looks up
          at Bear and Shark. To Shark's surprise, Steve stuffs himself
          into Shark's mouth and pulls it closed. Bear shrugs.

          INT. HALLWAY

          Steve walks out of the bathroom. He opens his closet to find
          Bear and Shark. He is so startled, that he has a heart
          attack and dies. Bear and Shark look confused. Bear looks at
          Shark, who shrugs. They both step out of the closet and
          awkwardly step over Steve.
