What In The World! Season 1 Episode 7: Glocked & Loaded

INT. APARTMENT - DAY
Daniel is sleeping on the floor next to Greg and Tyler. Joel is on the couch. Daniel wakes up and looks in the pantry. He pulls out a bag of chips and eats them. Bailey exits Daniel’s room.
DANIEL
Morning.
BAILEY
Morning. So, what do you boys have to eat around here?
DANIEL
Chips, candy, and beer.
BAILEY
How the hell have you survived this long?
DANIEL
I’ll let you know when I figure that out.
Bailey joins Daniel at the table. She eats some chips.
BAILEY
I wanted to thank you again. You know, for letting me stay. I actually slept more peacefully than I did with the sorority.
DANIEL
That’s the memory foam.
Bailey chuckles.
DANIEL
I-I should clarify about what Joel said... back at Pizza Palace. You know, about you being my future wife.
BAILEY
No need. Tyler already told me that you have an insane crush on me.
DANIEL
He did?
BAILEY
Yeah.
DANIEL
Well, you don’t have to worry. That crush is over.
BAILEY
Really?
DANIEL
Yeah, you know considering everything that’s happened. Probably best to focus on surviving and not... on some crush. Right?
BAILEY
Yeah. Yeah, good idea.
Pause.
DANIEL
Friends?
BAILEY
Friends.
Daniel and Bailey eat in silence.
Joel wakes up and walks over to the ice chest. He grabs a beer can, pops it open and chugs it.
JOEL
Man, that hit the spot.
Joel joins them at the table and grabs a handful of chips.
JOEL
So, what were you two talking about? Y’all gonna do it?
DANIEL
Joel!
JOEL
Oh c’mon she already knows.
DANIEL
We’re going to be friends.
JOEL
Daniel, that is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard and I once heard Tyler saying he was considering joining the Church of Scientology because he thought it was about science.
BAILEY
We’re just gonna focus on surviving.
JOEL
So when this is all over you two are gonna you know... bang.
BAILEY
Wowwwwwww. You know, I’ve heard about you on campus.
JOEL
Well, that’s usually common with legends.
BAILEY
Everyone knows that you’re terrible when it comes to relationships. You’ll charm a girl, date her for a few weeks, and then dump her.
DANIEL
You know, come to think of it, I’ve never seen you date a girl for more than a month.
JOEL
Well, excuse me for wanting to try the Smörgåsbord that is college girls.
BAILEY
You’re disgusting.
JOEL
And you’re... damn it I’ve got nothing. I haven’t known you long enough.
Tyler and Greg wake up and join them at the table.
GREG
So, what’s on the agenda today?
JOEL
Well, anyone up for some Fortnite?
GREG
How about Minecraft?
JOEL
Is that the game with the cube people?
GREG
Yeah, you get to build things.
JOEL
You can do that in Fortnite.
GREG
I’m not in the mood to shoot things.
JOEL
But you’re in the Navy. Oh wait, you didn’t actually fight.
GREG
You motherfucker.
TYLER
Fellas fellas, please. There’s a better game for us to play.
Tyler goes to his backpack and pulls out a deck of Magic: The Gathering cards.
TYLER
Now THIS, is a game.
GREG
Joel.
JOEL
Yeah.
GREG
Do you still have bullets in your gun?
JOEL
Yep.
GREG
Great. Please shoot me.
Gunshots ring out and bullets fly into the apartment. Pieces of the walls fly everywhere. The group drops to the ground and takes cover.
JOEL
(To Greg)
You just had to ask, didn't you!
Joel grabs his Glock and begins to blindly return fire. The gun firing stops. The group gets up and runs to the giant hole in the wall. A convertible car drives away. In the car, are two members of the Sisterhood.
The apartment is a mess.
JOEL
(To Bailey)
So last night, when you said they weren’t that crazy... you wanna take that back?
TYLER
I guess they still want to kill us.
GREG
And then take our supplies.
BAILEY
Claire has always been crazy. She once made a recruit take an entire pack of laxatives.
TYLER
What the hell is wrong with you girls?
BAILEY
She’s not done. That was just a warning. Next time, she’ll make sure to kill each and every one of us.
JOEL
Ok, then that settles it, we prepare for battle.
DANIEL
This isn’t Fortnite Joel.
JOEL
Of course, it isn’t, cause in Fortnite you get to wear cool costumes and wield cool weapons. Instead, I’m stuck with clothes from three days ago and a small Glock. Also, if you die, there’s no reboot van.
BAILEY
Daniel as much as I hate to say it, I agree with Joel. We need to prepare to fight and be ready to kill.
GREG
Where would we get weapons? The Sisterhood took all the guns from Campus Security.
TYLER
What about the police station? The one outside of campus.
BAILEY
It could have been hit already by other survivors but it’s worth a shot though. What do you think Dan?
DANIEL
I agree. Someone should stay at the apartment though. In case the Sisterhood comes back.
JOEL
Seeing as I’m the only one with a gun, I’ll stay.
GREG
I’ll stay too.
DANIEL
Ok then. Tyler, Bailey, and I will go.
GREG
Be careful.
Daniel nods at Joel and Greg. He, Tyler, and Bailey exit the apartment. Joel sits on the couch and pulls out a joint. He lights it and takes a puff.
GREG
Is that what I think it is?
JOEL
Want a hit?
Joel hands the joint to Greg who takes it. He sits next to Joel and takes a puff.
GREG
That’s good shit.
JOEL
Thanks, I bought it from one of those Herbology majors. They grow it in the campus greenhouse.
GREG
Dope.
JOEL
Hey, I just wanted to say sorry. You know, about me saying that you didn’t actually fight. You still served your country and I respect that. It’s just... I’m scared and as the cool one in the group, I can’t show that.
GREG
It’s ok to be scared Joel. I’m scared. More scared than when I was hundreds of feet under the ocean surface in a tin can with no way of escaping if we sank.
JOEL
Remind me again why you joined?
GREG
The benefits. Also, my favorite movie is "The Hunt for Red October".
JOEL
Good movie.
Greg hands the joint back to Joel who takes a puff.
INT. POLICE STATION - DAY
Daniel, Bailey, and Tyler enter the police station. It is a mess and most of the furnishing has been destroyed. There is no sign of life.
TYLER
Looks like someone already raided the place.
BAILEY
I don’t think we’ll find much.
DANIEL
Maybe.
There is a faint flashing sound behind Daniel. He turns around. Behind him on a desk, are three assault rifles and two shotguns along with multiple boxes of ammo. Bailey and Tyler join Daniel.
TYLER
Where did that come from?
DANIEL
I-I don’t know. The desk was empty and then... it wasn’t.
BAILEY
Maybe you just missed them.
DANIEL
Yeah. Yeah that’s probably it.
Daniel and Bailey start loading the ammo and guns into their bags.
TYLER
I’m gonna go see if there’s anything else we can take.
Tyler continues walking through the police station. Daniel and Bailey gather the guns and ammo. They both reach for the same box of ammo and their hand’s touch. Both pull their hands back and stare awkwardly at each other. It seems as though they are going to kiss. They resume packing the guns and ammo.
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
Joel and Greg are still sitting on the couch. The joint is almost finished.
JOEL
You know what’s a fun word to say? Watermelon.
GREG
Watermelon. Watermelon. Waterrrrrrrrmelon. Heh heh, you’re right.
There is a ringing noise.
GREG
What’s that?
Joel gets up and lifts the couch cushion. Underneath it, is Joel’s cellphone. He picks it up. The words UNKNOWN CALLER are on the screen.
GREG
Answer it!
Joel answers.
JOEL
Hello? Hello? Is anyone there?
CALLER
(Robotic voice)
Phoenix Ass.
The call ends.
GREG
The fuck was that?
JOEL
The first call I get in this shithole is a prank call.
GREG
We need to tell the others.
JOEL
Tell them what? That we got prank called during the apocalypse.
GREG
It means there are other survivors.
JOEL
Greg for all we know, that wasn’t even a real person. It could've been one of those robocalls. You heard what it sounded like.
GREG
But someone called.
JOEL
Wait, someone called?
Joel and Greg laugh.
JOEL
Now, let’s roll another joint, shall we?
EXT. POLICE STATION - DAY
Daniel and Bailey wait outside the police station. They stand in awkward silence.
DANIEL
Was it just me or was there... something?
BAILEY
What do you mean by “something”?
DANIEL
I don’t know. According to Joel, whenever two people like each other, they have a moment. You know, like when we both reached for the same box of ammo and our hands touched. That kind of something.
Bailey stares at Daniel. She steps closer to him and he leans in. The two almost kiss. Tyler exits the police station. Daniel and Bailey pull away and pretend as if nothing was happening.
TYLER
I found two flashlights, a taser, and some packs of coffee.
DANIEL
Great.
BAILEY
I haven’t had coffee since before all of this.
Daniel and Bailey smile at each other but avoid each other’s gaze.
TYLER
What’d I miss?
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
Joel chugs a can of beer and tosses it onto a pile of empty cans. He picks up the joint and takes a puff. He then loads his Glock magazine with a single bullet and puts the magazine into his Glock. He racks the slide. He sits at the dinner table across from Greg.
JOEL
Ok ok, you know the rules of Russian roulette? We each take turns shooting the gun. Ready?
GREG
Yeah yeah, give it here.
Joel hands Greg the gun. Greg puts the gun against his head. Daniel, Bailey, and Tyler enter the apartment. They see what Joel and Greg are doing.
DANIEL
What the hell is going on here?
JOEL
We’re playing Russian roulette.
DANIEL
You can only play that with a revolver.
GREG
Are you a gun expert?
DANIEL
No, I'm an expert in common sense.
JOEL
Well, Thomas Paine, we’re exercising our Second Amendment right.
BAILEY
They’re high. And drunk.
DANIEL
What?
BAILEY
You smell that?
DANIEL
Yeah.
BAILEY
It’s pot. If I’m correct, it’s from the Herbology students.
JOEL
Bingo.
BAILEY
Good shit.
DANIEL
Damn it. Tyler, get the gun.
Tyler walks over to Greg and takes the gun.
DANIEL
Ok you two, do your best to listen. We have weapons now. It may not be as much as the Sisterhood, but it’s better than we had before. The next time they attack, we’ll be ready. I’ll take the first watch. Everyone else should get some rest.
Bailey goes into Daniel’s room. Joel and Greg slump onto the couch.
TYLER
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that if we’d been any later, Greg would be dead?
INT. SORORITY HOUSE - DAY
The Sisterhood sits in a circle.
JULIA
They got some guns from the station and a bunch of ammo.
VICTORIA
That’s not possible. We hit the station last night. We cleaned the place out.
CLAIRE
Clearly you didn’t.
GRACE
So what do we do now that they’re armed? They clearly didn’t get the message we sent.
CLAIRE
If we’re going to survive this, then we have to act. If we want their supplies there is only one thing we can do. We kill them all. Ladies, prepare to fight.
END.
