Shaun Of The Dead Page #5

- I've adjusted the seat now.

Just be careful!

Can you please turn that noise down?

Are you all right, dear?

Would you like another tissue?

I'd be fine if it weren't for that bloody racket.

- It is a bit loud.

- Sorry, Barbara.

You do realise this is

a 20 mile an hour zone?

Oh, yeah.

- Here.

- Mum, this won't take a second, all right?

- Have you still got the child locks on?

- Safety first, Shaun.

You can't...

Hey, man, watch the leather.

Keep moving. If there's any problems...

I'll do the honks.

'Hello? '

Hello?

- Guys, can you let me in?

- What are you doing?

I've come to get you.

- What are you doing?

- I've come to take you somewhere safe.

- We were safe!

- You don't know that.

There was two of them out there.

How many are there now?

- Lots.

- Lots!

It only takes one of them

to know you're in here.

I tried calling but I couldn't get through.

I had to come up with a plan.

- Oh, you made a plan?

- We have to get out of here.

If we don't, they'll tear us to pieces.

And that will exacerbate things for all of us.

- Shaun...

- This is not about you and me.

This is about survival.

We need to be somewhere more secure,

somewhere we can stay alive.

- We're with you, Shaun.

- What?

- We're with you.

- I'm not going out there.

Daffs! I don't want to be torn to pieces

and if you think about it, neither do you.

- I'm not going if Lizzie's not going.

- She's going.

- I'm not staying by myself.

- You're going, aren't you?

- Lizzie?

- Liz?

- All right, Flash, what's your plan?

- Great. I've got a car

but it's gonna be a bit cramped now.

Has anyone got transport?

- Yes!

- Great. Where?

Oh, no. Well, I've passed my test.

David?

I don't see the point

of owning a car in London.

Look, just get any blunt objects together.

If you get cornered,

bash them in the head.

Keep together, stay sharp and follow me.

So, what's the plan, then?

We're going to the Winchester.

OK? Let's go.

- Come on.

- Where's the car?

What's up, niggas?

Apologies for the cramped conditions.

Di, stay on David's lap.

Philip, hang in there, OK?

Ed, get there fast.

And, Mum, this is Liz. Liz, Mum.

Hello.

Ed, be careful.

- Is your dad all right?

- He's not my dad.

- He's bleeding.

- I know! Ed, be careful.

Thought you wanted to get there fast?

I want to get there in one piece!

Why are we going this way?

Chill out, it's a short cut.

- That road goes to the Winchester.

- Shaun...

- Liz, please!

- I don't understand why the Winchester?

- It's a pub, it's safe, it's secure.

- They know us.

- What makes it so secure?

- It's got big heavy doors and deadbolts.

And there's a rifle above the bar.

- I would think that's deactivated.

- It's not. John's connected. Big Al says so.

Big Al also says dogs can't look up.

- They can't.

- Can't they?

- Of course they can!

- Are you sure?

Yes! The pub is the right place to go.

Everything is gonna be fine.

- Shaun...

- I turned it off, all right?

What?

- Being a father, it's not easy.

- What?

You were 12 when I met you,

you'd already grown up so much.

I just wanted you to be strong

and not give up because you lost your dad.

- Philip, you don't have to explain.

- No, I do. I always loved you, Shaun.

And I always thought

you had it in you to do well.

You just need... m-motivation.

Somebody to look up to and...

I thought it could be me.

Would you just... take care of your mum?

There's a good boy.

- Ed, can you pull over?

- Two seconds.

- Ah! Ed, please pull over.

- What for?

- Just pull over!

- All right.

Whoa, momma!

- What the hell are you doing?

- Chill out. Everyone's all right.

Stop telling me to chill out!

- And everybody is not all right.

- What's wrong?

Mum, it's Philip, he's gone.

- Where's he gone?

- Mum, he's dead.

No, he isn't.

Get out!

Jesus!

- Get it open!

- Ed, get the child locks!

Quick!

- The child lock!

- Ed!

- Now what?

- We keep moving.

- How do we get Philip out the car?

- We haven't got time.

- We can't leave your dad.

- He's not my dad!

Mum, he was, but he's not any more.

- I really think we could...

- That's not your husband in there. OK?

It looks like him but there is nothing

of the man you loved in that car.

Let's go, shall we?

You're not suggesting we walk?

- Everybody OK?

- Yeah, we're having a whale of a time.

Maybe we should all hold hands,

make a crocodile?

Do you know where we're going?

- David, come on.

- Sorry.

- Do you, though?

- Yeah, totally.

Are we close?

We're pretty close.

- Is your mum gonna be OK?

- Yeah, I hope so.

- Did you contact your folks?

- They're in Antigua.

- Do you think this is happening there?

- I hope not.

About last night.

I know loads of things were said but...

- You said this wasn't about us.

- No, it's not.

- You said it was about survival.

- It is, but...

You're notjust trying to prove something?

I meant everything I said last night.

- Maybe this isn't the best time to talk.

- OK.

Shaun.

Yvonne.

- How's it going?

- Er, surviving.

Hey, Liz. Long time no see.

Hey, Yvonne.

Erm... this is my boyfriend, Declan.

Erm... my friends Mark, Maggie,

- my mum and my cousin Tom.

- All right.

This is Shaun and his girlfriend Liz.

- They've split up, actually.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

- That's a shame.

We should scoot.

Have you got somewhere you're going?

- Yeah, we're going to the Winchester.

- The pub?

- Yeah.

- Right, well. Good luck!

Hi.

Hello.

Hi.

Hello.

All right.

See? The Winchester's just over there.

- Over where?

- Over there.

Just over there, over the 20 garden fences?

What's the matter, David?

Never taken a short cut before?

Shaun.

I'm sure Jill and Derek live round here.

Now, the Winchester

is just over that fence, all right?

Everyone stay where they are, I'll...

Are we all here?

- One, two, three, four, five. Yes.

- There's six of us.

Mum!

I'm coming!

Mum, are you OK? Are you OK?

I don't think Jill and Derek do live here.

Shaun?

Are you all right?

What are you doing?

Shaun!

Yes!

No, that's rubbish.

- Ooh!

- Yes!

Feel free to step in any time.

- You did all right.

- I didn't want to cramp your style.

I'm so sorry about that.

Right.

OK, everyone stay where they are.

I'm gonna check if the coast is clear.

- Is it clear?

- No.

- How many?

- Lots.

Oh, well, that is just great.

There are a fair few of them, yes.

I trust Shaun has another genius scheme

up his sleeve?

This is hardly constructive, David!

- We should have stayed at the flat.
