Tight on Beavis' face staring in wonder.

THIS IS WHERE THE MUSIC VIDEO/HALLUCINATION SEQUENCE BEGINS. It

could even be so shameless as to actually have a chyron in the

lower left hand corner.

I would like to have a band (White Zombie?) do a version of

something like, "Fire," by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. This

is the song that begins, "I am God of Hellfire and I bring you...

fire!"

The concept of this will depend somewhat on which band we get, but

I would like to see it get pretty wild and surreal. (If it's White

Zombie, we could incorporate some of Rob Zombie's artwork.)

BEAVIS' P.O.V.:

We see the sun above the horizon turn into a giant ball of fire.

The ball of fire develops a face and speaks.

FIRE:

I am God of Hellfire and I bring

you...(music begins) Fire...

BEAVIS:

Whoa!!! This kicks ass!!!

THIS IS THE GREATEST VIDEO BEAVIS HAS EVER SEEN. Out of the ball

of fire steps a beautiful woman in a bikini.

At first the video is mostly the God of Hellfire, chicks in

bikinis and various images of B&B's TV in all its glory.

As the video/hallucination continues, it becomes a psychotic mass

of naked people, fire, TVs, vultures, B&B head-banging, weird

stuff from my high school notebooks, etc.

At one point we see the God of Hellfire in a Burger World uniform.

As the song winds down, we incorporate Muddy's car into the

surreal imagery. (We should also incorporate their TV, as well as

maybe some of the characters from the show that aren't in the

movie.)

Then, we REVEAL Muddy's car actually pulling up to B&B's near-dead

bodies.

The SONG ENDS as Muddy tosses water on B&B. REVEAL they were not

far from the side of a road all along.

B&B

Ahhhhghhhhgh!

B&B snap out of it. They rise and find Muddy hovering over them

with a shotgun.

BEAVIS:

Aagh! I'm all wet!...(realizing) Oh, cool.

Heh heh heh. Water.

Muddy aims his shotgun at B&B.

MUDDY:

Ah'm gonna enjoy this. Any last words

b'fore ah kill ya?

B&B think.

BUTT-HEAD

Uh... Huh huh. I have a couple. Butt

cheeks, huh huh huh.

BEAVIS:

Yeah! B*obs. Heh heh. I just wanna say

that again. B*obs. Heh heh.

MUDDY:

Ah'm gonna blow you both to hell!

BUTT-HEAD

Cool, huh huh. (realizing) Hey Beavis

that's that dude that's paying us to do

his wife.

BEAVIS:

Oh yeah. Can you just take us to

Washington? We're gonna meet her there

and, you know, heh heh hmmm...

MUDDY:

Washington! That's where she was gonna

meet up with ya? (realizes) Damn, she's

goin' all the way!

B&B

Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh.

Muddy lowers the gun a bit.

MUDDY:

You know, I just might need you after all.

Aw right, in the trunk. You're gonna help

me get mah unit back.

Muddy pops it open. B&B climb in. Muddy closes the trunk on them

and walks to the front of the car. HOLD ON THE TRUNK.

BUTT-HEAD (O.S.)

Boy, it sure is hard to score. Huh huh

huh.

Muddy peels out.

EXT. HIGHWAY - DAY

A MONTAGE SONG BEGINS.

Muddy drives by.

INSERT:
A RED LINE snakes through a map to Santa Fe.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. HIGHWAY - DAY

Muddy's car drives by. Muddy hears B&B laugh from inside the trunk

and turns up the radio to drown it out.

INSERT:
A RED LINE snakes through a map to Oklahoma City.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. GAS STATION - DAY

Muddy pumps gas. From inside the trunk:

BEAVIS (O.C.)

Hey Butt-Head, look. A jack. Heh heh.

BUTT-HEAD (O.C.)

Huh huh. Jack. Huh huh.

INSERT:
A RED LINE snakes through a map to Little Rock, Nashville

and into Virginia up Rt. 81.

EXT. MUDDY'S CAR DRIVING ON HIGHWAY - DAY

ANGLE OUTSIDE MUDDY'S TRUNK. From within we hear:

BUTT-HEAD (O.C.)

Hey, Beavis, check it out. I'm jacking

off!

B&B

Huh huh huh huh huh huh.

Pumping up the jack, they cause the lid of the trunk to start to

bend.

Suddenly, it pops open. B&B are a sweaty mess. They gasp.

BUTT-HEAD

This sucks. Let's get outta here.

They look out. The road behind them races past at 80 mph. Beavis

stares dumbly.

BEAVIS:

Uh, you first.

BUTT-HEAD

C'mon, Beavis, just start running really

fast when you hit the ground. It'll work.

BEAVIS:

Okay. I'll go right after you.

Butt-Head shoves Beavis out of the car.

BEAVIS (CONT.)

Ahhhhghghhghghgh!

Beavis tries to run, but hits the road and flips over and over -

and smashes his butt.

BEAVIS (CONT.)

Owwwwww, my butt!!!!!!

His body stops in the middle of the road. A huge truck, about to

hit him, swerves and jackknifes over the side.

Behind the truck, several cars screech to a halt, one smashing

into the other.

ANGLE ON MUDDY'S TRUNK

Butt-Head looks at the road.

BUTT-HEAD

Huh huh huh huh huh. That was cool.

ANGLE ON MUDDY'S TIRE. It hits a pothole.

ANGLE ON BUTT-HEAD, shooting out of the trunk, he grabs onto the

lid. He bounces against the road again and again.

Finally, he loses his grip as the lid to the trunk closes.

ANGLE ON BUTT-HEAD, rolling along the highway.

A car, about to hit Butt-Head, screeches to a halt. Other cars

behind it smash and pile up.

ANGLE ON ROAD SOME WAYS BACK. On Tom and Marcy in their car.

TOM:

Boy, what I wouldn't give for five minutes

alone with them two little bastards...

The car ahead of Tom crashes into the car ahead of that. Tom

crashes into it. And the car behind crashes into Tom.

OVERHEAD ANGLE shows cars and trucks behind, crashing, piling up.

A massive pile-up.

INT. MUDDY'S CAR - DAY

Muddy doesn't notice the mess behind him. He drives on.

MONTAGE SONG ENDS

EXT. HIGHWAY - DAY

LATER.

ON MEDIVAC helicopters; one landing, another taking off.

MOVE TO WOMAN TV REPORTER, talking to camera:

REPORTER:

Authorities are calling this the worst

highway disaster in the nation's

history...

INT. A.T.F. HEADQUARTERS/FLEMMING'S OFFICE - DAY

Flemming, Bork, and about six other agents look at a map. Behind

them, a TV is on with the reporter continuing. Behind the

reporter, B&B poke their heads into frame at 45 degree angles,

looking like deer in the headlights.

REPORTER (CONT.)

... Behind me, over 400 vehicles lay

wrecked or stuck. No one knows what caused

it, but police have not ruled out the

possibility of terrorists.

Bork notices B&B on TV and taps Flemming on the shoulder. Flemming

looks.

FLEMMING:

Well, I'll be a blue-nosed gopher.

BORK:

(despairing)

Where did these guys come from?

Flemming looks at the big map which traces sightings of B&B across

America.

FLEMMING:

The question is, where are they going.

He looks again at the TV. On the news, a story about...

REPORTER 2

...set for 5:
00 tomorrow when

representatives from around the world will

meet in Washington for the first such

peace conference...

Flemming looks back at the map, and then back at the TV.

FLEMMING:

What the hell...? Bork! That bus we picked

up. Where was it headin'?

BORK:

(checks papers)

D.C., Chief.

FLEMMING:

(realizing)

Jesus jumped-up... Bork, can you imagine

what would happen if they set that thing

off in our nation's capital, or even

worse, if they sold it to some damned

foreigner at that conference. (rises and

puts his fist down) Well, it's not gonna

happen!
