We open on a shot of a computer, showing a video of 2 dogs and one cat being injected with a shot, and one dog becoming on fire, with the other one becoming water, and the cat randomly beginning to fly around, It is suddenly grabbed, and slammed shut. We then begin to follow a walking 31 year old woman with several shots in her pocket outside, where it is raining cats and dogs.

Nate (calling someone on her flip phone): Jay! I’ve got it! I’ve f***ing got it!

A voicemail begins to play.

Nate:
Oh, F***ing voicemail.

Nate throws her phone to the ground.

Nate (while throwing it): F***ing dammit!

She stops walking.

Nate:
GOD--

A car drives by, drinching her and causing her to lose grapse of the laptop and dropping it, The screen is cracked, and the battery breaking in half.

Nate (checking the injections, still intact): Great.

Nate runs into a hotel, a super 8, and closes the door.

Dina:
Hello, Mam, What can I do for you today?

Nate:
I need to see a Jay Palmer.

Dina:
A who?

Nate (leaning closer to her): A Jay M. Arnold.

Dina:
Well, We’re a hotel, We can’t just let you--

SHe pulls out an injection, and injects her with it, She falls over.

Nate:
It is just tabasco. F*** off.

She jumps through the gap, and checks the computer. She finds Jay’s room.

Nate:
Room 2006, That’s on the top floor. Jesus Christ.

We cut to her getting out on an elevator, She runs to room 2006, and busts it down with her bare fists.

Nate (running in the room, yelling): JAY?! JAY!

Jay gets up, with a t-shirt and underwear on.

Jay (checking watch and pointing at it for him): It is 3:49 in the f***ing morning! What the heck is this all about?!?!

Nate:
I think I’ve perfected it!

Jay (feeling of forehead): Perfected what?

Nate:
I created powers! I created--

Jay (beginning to chuckle): What powers?

Nate:
You guys wanted power, Well, This is it.

Jay:
Who said We--?

Nate:
I turned a dog into a fiery nightmare, another into a water mutant, and a cat into a flying beast!

Jay:
You’re not on the sleeping medication, right?

We cut to them walking in a hall in another building, Two other men are with them.

Ben:
If you’re lying, We will f***ing--

Nate:
You got them to sign up, right?

Ben:
Yeah, They think they’re getting money.

Field (laughing): What fools.

Nate (as Ben squeezes a lemon in her face): What the f***--

Ben:
Chill out!

Nate (as she slightly swells): I’m allergic to lemon!

Field (walking off): No the f*** you’re not.

They walk into a room, Two people in seats, Devin and Chase, look up at them.

Devin:
Hello.

They pull out the injections.

Chase:
How sharp?

Jay:
Just think of how much money y’all will have.

Chase:
So many soap opera magazines!

Devin:
You’re going to get soap opera magazines? I’m going to invest in the stock market.

The doctors wink at one another.

Chase:
The stock market?

Devin:
Yeah? Me and my ex adopted a child, and she took the kid, so I have to pay child support.

Chase:
Wait, Was she a red-head?

Devin (chuckling): Probably.

Nate goes to Chase, and the rest of them look on.

Devin:
I’m next, right?

Chase (checking his watch): Jesus Christ, It is late.

Devin:
Awww, Chase missing his bedtime?

Chase:
F*** you.

Nate:
Okay, Here it goes.

Chase (getting the shot): Shoot, that stings!

Nate:
Just a couple more seconds.

The room starts to become the colors of thermal. It slowly happens over the rest of this scene.

Chase:
What is going on with my eyes?

Nate (stopping the injection, looking at the doctors with a face of “Oh my god! Something’s happening!”): It is over. You can rest now, We got your number, We’ll call you.

Chase (walking to the door): Okay.

Chase doesn’t look, he instead looks at the red and blue shot he was given be thrown away. He decides to stay as he witnesses this.

Devin (looking at Nate preparing his blue shot): Looking neat, sir.

Nate (injecting him): Now, I’m called sir? I like this respect.

The whole room becomes red and blue as Chase begins shaking, grabbing onto the wall, He begins peeling off the paint.

Field (seeing Chase doing this): Woah, Dude, You okay?

Chase looks at Field, and he suddenly shoots lasers out of his eyes, He burns a hole in the wall.

Nate (getting done with injecting Devin): Okay, We’re done--

Ben (looking at the wall): Nate?!

Chase (falling to the floor): What was in the cocktail shot?

Chase falls. Devin gets up, and randomly begins making a fist.

Devin:
What is this?

Jay (looking at Devin): What?

Devin randomly punches the door, and the whole door falls down. The red and blue begins to go away.

Ben:
That’s coming out of your pay!

Devin (looking at his hands that are getting bigger every second): What is happening to me?

Devin runs out, and Chase looks up at them.

Field (grabbing Chase as the red and blue is gone from the scene): What the heck?

Chase:
Everything is red, blue, dark. Everything is--

Chase begins shaking his head, shooting lasers out of his eyes.

Jay (jumping out the way of the lasers): Get that experiment out of there!

Field runs out, with Chase in his arms, Chase is shaking and groaning in pain.

Jay (awkwardly):
I’m gonna go to the bathroom.

Jay walks out.

Ben:
What the heck, Nate? I thought you created powers--!

Nate (kneeling on the ground in happiness): I did! It worked! I combined all my serums, and it gave Cason thermal--

Ben:
Chase.

Nate:
And it gave Devin superstrength!

Ben:
You’re f***ing crazy, Nate, You’re a mad scientist--

Nate:
You said the government gave y’all this cover so we could do stuff like this! Here’s our chance!

Ben (grabbing a shot out of Nate’s hand): What about you?

Nate:
What about me?!

Ben begins slowly walking towards her, going to inject it in her.

Nate:
No.

Ben:
Do you want to? Or is this magic? You were always a magical idiot anyway.

Nate:
Why do you guys bully me?

Ben:
What? We’ve bullied you since pre-k, Why--

Nate (seeing Ben going for the injection): What are you--

We cut to several people moving boxes in a building, a woman walks in, and another man asks her a question.

Omar:
President--

Meryl:
The f*** do you want?

Omar:
May I ask you a question?

Meryl:
What? Why did we move the white house to Montana?

Omar:
Yeah, It sounds like something out of a movie to have an excuse to have the president involved.

Meryl (walking off): I like the way you think.
