Night of the Comet Page #6

Synopsis: It's the first comet to buzz our planet Earth in 65 million years, and everyone seems to be celebrating its imminent arrival. Everyone except Regina Belmont, and her younger sister Samantha, two Valley Girls who care more about fashion trends than celestial phenomena. But upon daybreak, when the girls discover that they are the only residents of Los Angeles whom the comet hasn't vaporized or turned into a zombie, they would do what all Valley Girls do - they go shopping. However, with the help of a friendly truck driver, the girls save Earth and escape from flesh-eating zombies and blood-seeking scientists in hot pursuit.

- Hey, we'll be taking off now.

Look us up at Chasen's.

We'll party down, huh?

- Come on.

- Come on. This is fun.

The kids would like to say goodbye.

It's been fun.

Hope to see you around real soon.

Is that gasoline I smell?

Wait. Wait, don't! Don't!

Wow. All right, Hector.

Let go of her!

Hector!

It's okay.

I got you. It's all right. It's okay.

I got you. Shhhhhh.

Okay, kids. Smile. Come on.

God, you're so cute.

You're just so cute. Wait.

Mr. Bunny needs to be in this picture, too.

So, okay, that's great.

- Can I take this jacket off? It itches.

- No, you can't.

I just want to take another picture.

all right?

- Please?

- No. Now you just hold on to that.

- Stay there, okay? Perfect.

- Oh, brother.

- There's still a few zombies around.

- Don't slouch. And, Sarah, hold that.

Smile.

Did the flash go off?

You can't tell on these things.

Hey, if you're gonna throw

those guns away, can I have one?

Don't look at me. I mean, I don't know

where she gets that stuff.

Smile, Hec.

Handsome.

Maybe I could be a nun or something.

I just love these pictures.

You've only taken about 30 of them.

You know, we're going to need

more film soon.

- Let me straighten your tie.

- Okay.

God, they look like the Brady Bunch.

What are you waiting for?

Can I see them?

- We're waiting for the light to change.

- We do not cross against the light.

Are you nuts, Auntie Regina?

You may as well face the facts, Samantha.

The whole burden of civiIization

has fallen upon us.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means we do not CROSS

against the light.

That's totally stupid.

There's nobody here. See?

We're talking ghost town!

See what happens?

God. I'm sorry, but you shouldn't cross

against the light like that.

- Hey, you guys are survivors, too, huh?

- Thank you.

- What?

- Nothing. Great car.

Thanks. I have 23 of them.

You want to go for a ride?

More than you know.

We don't know anything about this guy.

Where's he from? What's his name?

- What's your name?

- Danny Mason Keener.

Danny Mason Keener, okay?

Yeah, all right.

- Well, just be back by midnight, okay?

- Midnight?

The burden of civilization is on us, okay?

Oh, yeah. Bitching, isn't it?
