Spaceballs Page #9

Synopsis: In a distant galaxy, planet Spaceball has depleted its air supply, leaving its citizens reliant on a product called "Perri-Air." In desperation, Spaceball's leader President Skroob (Mel Brooks) orders the evil Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) to kidnap Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) of oxygen-rich Druidia and hold her hostage in exchange for air. But help arrives for the Princess in the form of renegade space pilot Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his half-man, half-dog partner, Barf (John Candy).

STUNT is a man with a cigar in his mouth.

CAPTAIN You idiots! These are not them. You've

captured their stunt doubles! Search the area. Find them! Find them!

SPACEBALL CITY - EXT. PRISON DOME - NIGHT The

real BARF, LONE STARR, VESPA, and DOT come out of the PRISON DOME.

LONE:

STARR is firing at TROOPERS that follows them out the door. A laser

blast

hits the lock on a door of the EAGLE 5. BARF runs over to the that

door.

He tries to open it.

VESPA Open the door.

BARF I can't. It's fused.

VESPA Well, what about this one? (pulls on another

door)

BARF It's locked.

VESPA Well, where are the keys?

BARF Inside.

VESPA Oh, great!

LONE STARR Duck!

BARF, DOT, and VESPA lean against the EAGLE 5.

LONE STARR runs back towards the door that's fused. He hands his gun

to

VESPA.

LONE STARR Here, you hold 'em off. I'll get the

door.

VESPA I ain't shootin' this thing. I hate guns.

A TROOPER fires at VESPA'S hair. The laser blast

hits it.

DOT Ah.

VESPA My hair. He shot my hair. Son of a b*tch.

(c*cks gun)

VEPSA walks toward the TROOPERS. She starts firing

at the them. She hits every one of them. BARF and LONE STARR look

up.

BARF Holy sh*t.>

VESPA (blows the barrel) How was that.

LONE STARR Not bad.

BARF Not bad for a girl.

DOT Hey, that was pretty good for Rambo.

VESPA Let's blow this joint.

I walk, the movie would be over.

SANDURZ Sir?

SKROOB Yes, uuh.

SKROOB looks at HELMET. HELMET'S mask is down.

>SKROOB Never have that damn thing down in

front

of me. How do I know you're not making faces at me under there.

HELMET lifts up his mask. He sticks his tongue

out at SKROOB.

SANDURZ President Skroob

SKROOB Yes.

HELMET puts his tongue back in his mouth.

SANDURZ There it is: Planet Druidia.

SKROOB Ah, Planet Druidia, and ten thousand years

of fresh air.

HELMET (mask up; to Sandurz) The way he runs things,

it last a hundred.

LONE STARR We've gotta act fast. Step 1, we reverse

the vacuum and blow the air back on the planet; step 2, we destroy

that

thing.

VESPA But isn't that dangerous?

LONE STARR Extremely, plus, I don't know how the

hell we're gonna do it. BARF What about that ring Yogurt gave you?

LONE STARR Oh yeah. LONE STARR pulls the Schwartz

ring out of his pocket.

LONE STARR But....

BARF C'mon, boss, give it a shot.

LONE STARR Okay. Here goes nothing.

LONE STARR points the ring at the vacuum.

VESPA(O.S.) C'mon Schwartz.
