By

Patrick Cassels

          This is a parody of the TV show "Homeland," using a mix of
          real "Homeland" clips and newly shot footage.

          EST SHOTS of the Brody household, followed by a wide of
          NICHOLAS BRODY, in uniform, entering his garage. (Note: We
          should avoid any clear shots of Brody's face in these.)

          NEW FOOTAGE

          POV BRODY'S CAMERA: Brody steps out from behind the camera,
          in uniform, and addresses the camera in the exact same
          manner as the B&W jihad video from the TV show.

                              BRODY
                    My name is Nicholas Brody, and I'm
                    a sergeant in the Marines. By the
                    time you read this you'll have read
                    a lot of things about WHAT I'VE
                    DONE.
                         (beat; then, still serious)
                    I'm also an aspiring musician. So
                    please rate and subscribe after I
                    upload this to my YouTube channel.

          His voice cracks on "brings." He tunes the guitar.

                    Crap, sorry, one sec...

          Brody addresses camera. His stiff military rigor has been
          replaced with a sniffling, tech geek demeanor.

                              BRODY
                    Hey, it's Nick Brody again. And I'm
                    really excited to unbox the new,
                    uhhh, Motorola Droid RAZR.

          He picks up the camera and points it at a SMARTPHONE BOX in
          his other hand. He shows the box off to camera.

                              BRODY
                    K, gotta pretty nice box here.
                    Can't wait to turn this baby on and
                    use it to detonate a bomb.

          POV BRODY'S CAMERA: Brody, now in a dorm-like room and
          wearing a backwards hat, holds the camera at himself.

                              BRODY
                    Yo! Brody up in this bitch! I'm
                    about to prank my boy Abu Nazir,
                    hardcore!

          Brody shuffles the camera to a sleeping ABU NAZIR.

                              BRODY
                    Look at him, snoozin' like a chump.
                    Time to antique him, Brody style!

          Brody reaches into a bag of FLOUR and whips it at Nazir's
          face. Nazir jumps awake, coughs, and whines.

                              ABU NAZIR
                    Not cool, Brody!

                              BRODY
                         (like a teen)
                    Hiiiii! It's Nicky Bee here. I just
                    got back from Macy's and I thought
                    you guys might want to check out my
                    haul. So here we go!

          Brody lifts a cute VEST into frame.

                              BRODY
                    First up, this adorable vest I got
                    for--wait for it--nine dollars!

          Brody opens the vest. The inside is lined with EXPLOSIVES
          and SHRAPNEL (screws, ball bearings, etc.)

                              BRODY
                    Next, I got this shrapnel and
                    explosive gel from a Russian arms
                    dealer.
