DUSTEN & MARTY Z IN MARTY ZÕS STUDIO

 

     DUSTEN

YouÕre making a movie? With Urinnnnneee?

 

MARTY Z

ÒWith.Ó  ThatÕs such a strong word.  HeÕs a hard guy to get Òwith,Ó if you know what I mean.  Plus he thinks heÕs Òwith it,Ó and many might disagree.

 

     DUSTEN

Okay, are you making a movie ABOUT Professor Euren?

 

     MARTY Z

I thought ÒaboutÓ it.

 

     DUSTEN

What the hell ARE you doing?

 

     MARTT Z

I am making a movie, ah, ÒatÓ Professor Euren.

 

Marty Zgoes into an animated movie trailer pitch mode.

 

     MARTY Z

ÒCollege Hit ManÓ, a cyborg killer is sent to campus by an evil corporation to kill undergraduates. Only one man, Kung Fu Professor Tex Euren, can stop him.

 

DUSTEN

Professor Euren?  Kung Fu superstar?

 

Marty Z unrolls a poster with a picture of Chuck Norris.

 

     MARTY Z

IÕm going to get Chuck Norris to play the professor!

 

DUSTEN

YouÕre not going to get Chuck Norris to play anything.

 

MARTY Z

Yes I am. Ever hear of six degrees of separation? You know, itÕs like youÕre just six people away from knowing Kevin Bacon.

 

DUSTEN

That doesnÕt mean you can call Kevin Bacon!

 

MARTY Z

Of course not. Kevin BaconÕs not right for this part.

 

He points to a picture on  hisÒChuck Norris Poster – the picture is of an 8 year-old kid in a karate uniform. ItÕs part of a Òsix degrees of separationÓ chart that leads to Chuck Norris that MARTY Zhas created.

 

     MARTY Z

I know this kid, HeÕs in my karate class and his uncleÕs sister is a housekeeper for Chuck NorrisÕs brother, Aaron Norris!

 

Loud karate chop sounds fill the sound track.

CUT TO:

 

MARTYÕS KARATE CLASS. DUSTEN looks on as BILLY THE PITBULL and MARTY Z, both dressed in karate garb, face off in the center of the ring. They bow to each other and then suddenly Billy kicks Marty Z squarely in the balls. Marty drops to the ground writhing in agony.

                                         BACK TO:

DUSTEN

So you have a lock on Chuck Norris?

 

MARTY Z

If we canÕt get him, weÕll just make the hero invisible, and just say itÕs Chuck Norris. WhoÕs gonna know?

 

DUSTEN

You know my brotherÕs friend is a cab driver in New York and he once gave JayZ a ride to Shea Stadium.

 

MARTY Z

WhatÕs your point?

 

DUSTEN

Using your logic, you can definitely get Beyonce to be in your movie.

 

MARTY Z(deliberately, thinking out loud)

Chuck Norris and Beyonce in ÒCollege Hit ManÓ ÉÉ. WOW!

 

DUSTEN

Of course, theyÕll both have to be invisible.

 

MARTY Z

Sure, sure.  And we still might have a part for Professor Euren in here somewhere.

 

Pull out to Euren watching scene on BIG TV in BLACK BOX.

 

     EUREN

And yes, here I am, playing my part.  Now this.
