Beavis and Butt-Head Do America Page #7

The tour moves on.

BUTT-HEAD

This is dumb, let's find that chick.

BEAVIS:

Yeah, heh heh, enough'a this crap.

They walk back from where they came.

Through the glass wall, we see the two control room technicians

heading out.

BEAVIS (CONT.)

Check it out Butt-Head, TV!

BUTT-HEAD

Cool! Huh huh huh.

INT. HOOVER DAM/HALL OUTSIDE CONTROL ROOM DOOR - DUSK

SOUND of air compression as this secure door opens. The two

technicians walk out.

They walk away, not seeing that behind them, B&B approach the

control room door. They enter just before the door closes. SOUND

of air compression locks.

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

Agent Bork knocks and enters.

FLEMMING:

Talk ta me, Bork.

BORK:

Chief, we found a witness that says he saw

two teenagers leaving Dallas' room shortly

before we arrived.

FLEMMING:

Did you give him a full cavity search?

BORK:

(confused)

Ah, the witness?

FLEMMING:

Yes. You can never be too careful Bork.

BORK:

Well sir, I didn't really think it was

necessary. You see we have a picture of

them from the elevator security cam. Here,

have a look.

TIGHT ON PICTURE. A still of B&B laughing on the elevator.

BORK (CONT.)

They look like a couple of kids chief.

FLEMMING:

Bork, don't you realize what kids today

are capable of? Don't you read the papers?

Suddenly the lights blink on and off. All three men look up.

INT. HOOVER DAM/CONTROL ROOM - DUSK

We see a bank of TV monitors, video of water, turbines, etc.

Beavis is rubbing his butt against a switch on the console,

causing the lights to blink on and off.

BUTT-HEAD

Beavis, huh huh, what'er you doing?

BEAVIS:

My butt's bothering me!

BUTT-HEAD

You should kick your butt's ass. Huh huh

huh.

Butt-Head looks at the bank of monitors - all showing water.

BUTT-HEAD (CONT.)

Dammit, all they have is shows about

water.

BEAVIS:

That sucks. Heh heh. They need some shows

about fire! Change the channel.

BUTT-HEAD

Uh...

Butt-Head starts randomly hitting controls everywhere while Beavis

rubs his butt against a computer keypad.

TIGHT ON CONTROL: "Main Water Release Valve". Butt-Head turns it.

An alarm sounds.

BEAVIS:

Yeah, turn it up! Louder! Heh heh.

INT. DAM DOORS - DUSK

An alarm sounds. Giant doors open, causing water to start to flood

through the gates.

INT. HOOVER DAM/CONTROL ROOM - DUSK

Butt-Head presses more buttons. His hand is near the biggest

switch for:
"Master Station Control".

BUTT-HEAD

(reads sign)

Uh... Mas... Ter... Huh huh. Masturbation,

huh huh.

Butt-Head throws the switch. Lights go out. SOUND of generators

grinding to a halt.

INT. HOOVER DAM/MACHINE ROOM - DUSK

Machinery stops suddenly and large support beams break. A

disaster.

INT. HOOVER DAM/CONTROL ROOM - DUSK

SOUND of twisted, grinding metal, loud alarms.

BUTT-HEAD

Uh...

ON ONE OF THE MONITORS, we see a small electrical fire.

BEAVIS:

Yeah, fire! Fire! FIRE!!!

EXT. HOOVER DAM - DUSK

The lights go out.

EXT. VEGAS STRIP - DUSK

In succession, one set of lights after another goes out. The

famous strip goes dark.

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

The lights go dead.

FLEMMING:

The hell's going on?

INT. HOSPITAL OPERATING ROOM/VEGAS - DUSK

A surgeon just makes an incision as the lights go out.

SURGEON:

Whoooooops.

EXT. CAMPGROUND - DUSK

Marcy Anderson hammers the last peg in for their tent. Tom checks

the stew on the fire and looks around.

TOM:

I'll tell ya, it doesn't get any better

than this. This here is God's country.

Unspoiled and...

A rumbling interrupts him. He and Marcy turn to see:

A wall of water, heading for them.

TOM (CONT.)

Aaaaghhh!!!...

They're smashed by the flood.

EXT. HOOVER DAM - DUSK

Mass chaos. Traffic jams. Honking horns. People shouting.

ANGLE ON B&B AND THE SENIORS, about to get on the bus.

BUTT-HEAD

That was boring. Huh huh.

BEAVIS:

Yeah, it's just the same thing over and

over again.

BUTT-HEAD

Uh... We can't leave Washington 'till we

find that chick.

MARTHA:

Oh, we're a long ways from Washington Bob.

This is the Hoover Dam.

Martha gets on the bus. HOLD ON B&B.

BEAVIS:

Damn! Heh heh hmm heh.

They get on the bus.

INT. VEGAS HOTEL/CASINO - DUSK

Mayhem. People scream in the dark. Some steal chips and run.

ANGLE TO SIDE, where Muddy has the Concierge by the neck.

CONCIERGE:

I swear, that's all I know! They got on

that tour bus. It was probably heading

west. Please...

Muddy slams him against the wall and walks away.

MUDDY:

I'm gonna kill 'em!

EXT. HOOVER DAM - DUSK

The doors close on the tour bus. It pulls out and drives away.

EXT. SIDE OF ROAD - DUSK

At her car, Dallas watches the bus from a distance, then lays down

her binoculars, satisfied.

DALLAS:

You boys better show up.

With a look at the Fed car behind her, she gets in her car and

drives down a different road.

EXT. ROAD - DUSK

The bus heads off into the desert.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. HOOVER DAM - MORNING

Police cars everywhere. Fire engines. Reporters. News helicopters.

Disaster.

Several A.T.F. cars pull up. Flemming and several of his agents

get out and head immediately for the dam.

INT. HOOVER DAM/CONFERENCE ROOM - MORNING

TIGHT ON A TV MONITOR. It shows B&B at the Hoover Dam controls the

eve before, shot on surveillance camera. Frame freezes. B&B

looking particularly stupid.

REVEAL Flemming's there with his agents. Flemming leans forward.

FLEMMING:

You see what I see, Bork?

BORK:

I see it. I don't get it.

FLEMMING:

You got half the state looking for ya -

how do you get away?

BORK:

(realizes)

Cut the power!

FLEMMING:

Damn right. Bork, we're dealing with real

pros here. My opinion, terrorists...

What's the scoop on that stolen unit?

BORK:

Well, sir it's not good. (to an assistant)

Roll the tape... The X-5 unit is a new

top-secret biological weapon, a manmade

virus...

ON MONITOR. The device that was put in back of Beavis' pants.

BORK (CONT.)

The deadliest known to man. It could wipe

out five states in five days. It can be

activated by simply entering the right

code. Here's what happened when it was

tested on a group of Army recruits...

ON THE MONITOR. Army recruits coughing up black gunk, rolling

around in pain on stretchers, dying. Grotesque (but funny).

FLEMMING:

Jesus Jumped-Up Christ! If this were to

fall into the wrong hands...

BORK:

It gets worse. The unit wasn't finished.

It has a flaw - the casing. If hit hard

enough, it could break open, releasing the

virus.

A murmuring through the room. Flemming rises and holds up a

picture of B&B.

FLEMMING:

Okay People, as of right now these are the

most dangerous men in America. I want

these faces in front of every Fed and two-

bit sheriff within a thousand miles. The

orders are dead or alive. Let's just pray

that nothing hits that unit.

INT. TOUR BUS - DAY

TIGHT ON Beavis' butt, as Butt-head KICKS IT REPEATEDLY.

BEAVIS:

Ow! Cut it out Butt-Head.

BUTT-HEAD

Huh huh. Get out of the way, Beavis, I

wanna sit by the window. Huh huh.

BEAVIS:

Ow! I'll kick your butt!
