freedrama.com
CAST OF CHARACTERS:
1 male: Derrek
5 females: Genie, Girl, Zombie, Woman [vampire], Jesi
INT. Computer Lab. Day.
DEREK, a cool, confident guy, enters the lab. JESI, a
shy, nerdy gal, looks like she wants to talk to him but can only manage a
whisper.
Jesi
Hi.
Derek doesn't hear her and goes to a computer to start
work. Jesi rushes out all embarrassed.
Derek finds a cd stuck in the
computer. It comes out
and it is glowing [Light shines on it]. He looks at it and rubs it.
A puff of smoke [fog machine] flows in and a Genie steps in with it.
GENie
What do you want?
derek
What? Who are you?
Derek lowers the cd and sees the Genie.
GENIE
I'm a genie.
She waves her hands and more smoke appears.
DEREK
A genie? So... does that mean I get three wishes?
GENIE
Yeah, yeah. You know the drill.
DEREK
Cool. Oh, I know what I want. I want the perfect
girl.
GENIE
As you wish...
Genie disappears into the smoke
[exits] and GIRL
appears, acting very young,
licking a lollipop and jumping up and down excited.
GIRL
Hi, let's play.
Derek turns looking for the Genie.
DEREK
No, no, no.
Genie appears and makes
GIRL disappear [exits].
GENIE
You did ask for a girl.
Derek
I want someone much older than
that.
GENIE
As you wish...
Genie disappears [exits] and
ZOMBIE
appears.
DEREK
Not that old!
Genie makes Zombie disappear
[exits].
GENIE
You're down to one wish... make
it good.
DEREK
What? Oh, man.
Okay. I want the perfect woman is my age, beautiful and sharp.
GENIE
You got it.
Genie disappears and a beautiful
WOMAN appears. She comes up to him and he smiles. She crosses
behind him. She pushes back her hair and we see her pointed ears and she
bares her fangs.
woman
Want to neck?
Derek smiles big and turns and
sees her fangs come at him. He screams.
DEREK
Genie!
WOMAN disappears and Genie
appears and sighs.
DEREK (cont.)
You ruined all my wishes!
GENIE
Wishes are not the key
to your
happiness.
Genie disappears and
Derek falls into a chair. Jesi returns. She nervously approaches
Derek and touches him on the shoulder and he jumps.
JESI
I'm sorry. Have you seen my keys.
DEREK
Keys?
JESI
Here they are.
DEREK
Hey, what's your name?
JESI
Jesi. And you're Derek.
DEREK
You work in the lab in the mornings huh?
JESI
Uh-huh. You want my email? In case you need to
ask me
something... about the lab.
DEREK
No one ever comes in the lab during my shift. You want
to stay and hang out?
JESI
Sure, I'd like that.
Genie appears on the computer screen and winks [this can be a
video on a large computer screen or a projected image onto a screen - if
neither of these are possible you can end on the above line].
Jesi (cont.)
What was that?
DEREK
Some computer virus.
JESI
I know this great anti-virus software... let me show
you.
It works like magic.
