                                 Written by Jason Donner

               INT. DONNER'S APARTMENT

               Donner is busy writing on a computer and speaking to himself.

                                   DONNER
                         And so, I not only believe that
                         this movie was an utter piece of
                         garbage, but I also believe that
                         any theater unfortunate enough to
                         screen this vile STD-infected
                         genital secretion should be
                         immediately fumigated of just
                         burned, less the spirits of this
                         atrocity infect others.

               The camera moves to reveal Liam behind him watching in wide
               eyed awe.

                                   LIAM
                         That's a rather scathing review of
                         Citizen Kane, don't you think?

                                   DONNER
                         Yes... Now that I'm no longer a
                         billionaire, I have to support my
                         bastardly habits somehow and what
                         better way to be a bastard than to
                         be a film critic?  I can sink a
                         lovingly made and meticulously
                         crafted multi-million dollar Oscar
                         contender merely using the word
                         "crap"!  Boy, I'm glad that the Las
                         Vegas Gambler had an opening for a
                         critic, otherwise I would have had
                         to have gone back to conning
                         elderly people out of their
                         retirement funds again.

                                   LIAM
                         I'm glad you're happy.

               There is a knock at the door.

                                   DONNER
                         Get that, would you?  I'm too busy
                         ripping E.T. a new one.

               Liam goes to the door and opens it.  Taking up the entire
               doorway is a humongous stomach covered in orange hair.  Flies
               can be heard buzzing around it.  Liam slams the door.

                                   DONNER
                         Who was it?

                                   LIAM
                             (wide-eyed, terrified)
                         I... I... I...

               WHAM!  The door is kicked in flattening Liam against the
               floor.  Donner leaps behind a couch as debris from the door
               flies past him.
               The camera finds two enormous shoes.  One says "My Left Foot"
               and the other says "Tootise".  The camera begins to move up
               until we reach the butt of the enormously fat man which says
               "Backdraft" on it.  The camera moves around to reveal the fat
               man's shirt, a bright gaudy tie-dyed shirt stretched by the
               man's enormous fat gut to it's ripping point. The camera
               moves up revealing a bright orange beard and drool dripping
               down his chins.  It is...

                                   DONNER
                         My God... It's HARRY KNOWLES!!

                                   HARRY KNOWLES

               INT. DONNER'S APARTMENT

               Donner and Liam are backed up against the wall as Harry
               Knowles' ample form looms over them, drooling and panting.

                                   DONNER
                         W-What do you want here, Harry? 
                         There's a Sizzler just down the
                         street go there and leave us in
                         peace!

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                             (Irish accent)
                         Aye, I know about the Sizzler!  I
                         ate it on my way here!

                                   LIAM
                         He smells like a corpse bathed in
                         four week old moldy diarrhea!

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         And who is this wee lad?

                                   DONNER
                         This is Liam Smith.

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         He kinda looks like a baby.  YEAH! 
                         THAT'S IT!  AH'M GONNA EATCHA!  I'M
                         BIGGER THAN YOU!  I'M HIGHER IN THE
                         FOOD CHAIN!  GET IN MY BELLY!

               Liam runs out the door.  Harry takes a couple of steps and
               gets so tired, he plops down in Donner's couch, destroying
               it.

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         You're a lucky wee man!

                                   DONNER
                         Okay, you're not here to eat us...
                         Well, me... You're not here to eat
                         me.  What do you want?

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         I came tah get the inside scoop!

               Donner goes into the kitchen and returns with a can of Lysol. 
               He begins spraying Harry trying to kill the smell.

                                   DONNER
                         Inside scoop on what?

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         On the Lee M. Smith Show!

               Donner goes back into the kitchen an comes back with four
               more cans of Lysol.  He proceeds to spray Harry down with it.

                                   DONNER
                         The what?

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         The Lee M. Smith Show!  The
                         television show about a hapless but
                         lovable looser from Reno, Nevada
                         who gets involved in all sorts of
                         kooky adventures with his clown
                         sidekick and werewolf friend!

               Donner has given up on the Lysol and is dusting Harry is
               potpourri.  He hangs a pine-scented car hanger on Harry's
               ear.

                                   DONNER
                         That's the stupidest thing I've
                         ever heard!

                                   THAD (V.O.)
                             (muffled)
                         Yeah!  I agree!

                             (muffled)
                         Liam is OUR sidekick!

               There is a silence.

                                   DONNER
                         Uh... Guys?  Where are you?

                                   BIPPO (V.O.)
                             (muffled)
                         I don't know... it's dark and it
                         smells bad.

               Harry lifts up an enormous roll of stomach fat.  BIPPO and
               THAD come tumbling out covered in a sticky translucent goo.

                                   BIPPO
                             (dazed)
                         No, Carol Ann!  Don't go into the
                         light!

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         Sorry.

                                   DONNER
                         Wait a minute... as I remember,
                         there WAS a script I came up with a
                         couple of years based on Liam and
                         the gang where I changed their
                         names and the facts around just a
                         little so I wouldn't have to pay
                         likeness fees.

                                   THAD
                         You were going to bilk us out of
                         likeness rights?

                                   DONNER
                         Well... no.  You see, I wrote the
                         pilot and it turned out that no one
                         would buy it... not even UPN!  They
                         passed on it to make The Secret
                         Diaries of Desmond Pfiffer!

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         A riveting comedy that not only
                         made you laugh... but made you
                         think.

               Everyone looks at Harry.  Harry holds up a Rolex that has
               "THE SECRET DIARIES OF DESMOND PFIFFER" etched on it.

                                   THAD
                         It could be that someone stole your
                         idea that you stole from our lives.

                                   DONNER
                         BASTARDS!  Well, I'm not going to
                         stand for this!

                                   BIPPO
                         Neither am I!  I say we go to
                         Hollywood and stop that show from
                         being made until we gets our money! 
                         I'll go get the guys.

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         And I'll go report this inside

                         What inside tidbit?  There wasn't
                         any news here!

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         I know.  Therefore, I shall steal
                         my news from darkhorizons.com!

               Harry Knowles gets up and walks out the door, destroying the
               door frame.

                                   THAD
                         What a fat f*ck.

                                   DONNER
                         Thad, I guess you can tell Liam
                         that it's all right for him to come
                         back.

                                   THAD
                         All right.

               Thad walks out.  Donner looks around his apartment.

                                   DONNER
                         Where's the hell's my couch?

               EXT. THE LAS VEGAS SIDEWALK

               Harry Knowles walks down the street with Donner's couch
               wedged between his gigantic ass cheeks.  He turns down a
               corner and goes into a Chinese Restaurant.

                                   CHINESE CHIEF (O.C.)
                         RUN!  IT'S THE BEAST WITH MANY
                         MOUTHS!

               Dozens of restaurant workers and patrons run screaming out
               the door and windows.

                                                       FADE TO:

               EXT. HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA

               The Hollywood Sign can been seen as the camera finds USA
               STUDIOS - "IF YOU THINK ALL TV IS CRAP, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN
               ANYTHING YET!"

               INT. USA STUDIOS

               DONNER, THAD, LIAM, and BIPPO are walking down a set as
               television executive PERSY P. PETERPUFFER leads them.

                                   PERSY P. PETERPUFFER
                         Honestly, Mister Donner... I
                         understand your concerns but we
                         bought that script fair and square.

                                   DONNER
                         Mister Peterpuffer, I never SOLD my
                         script in the first place!

                                   PERSY P. PETERPUFFER
                         Surely you aren't suggesting that
                         USA Studios would do anything
                         disingenuous, are you?  We are the
                         pinnacle of ethics!

               INT. HELL

               SATAN is sitting on his throne when SCRAPPY DOO walks up to
               him. 

                                   SATAN
                         EXCELLENT!  Another television
                         series from USA Studios is on the
                         way!

               He laughs maniacally.

                                   SCRAPPY DOO
                         Sir, Harry Knowles would like to
                         sell his soul to loose ten pounds.

                                   SATAN 
                         Tell him that there are limits to
                         even MY power!

               INT. USA STUDIOS

               Persy P. Peterpuffer leads them to a soundstage.  Liam, Thad,
               Bippo, and Donner stop in their tracks.

                                   LIAM
                         Does someone hear that Twilight
                         Zone theme?

               The camera pans around to reveal that the stage has an exact
               copy of Liam's Apartment on it.

                                   BIPPO
                         Oh... my... God!  We've gone
                         through a time warp and have
                         traveled BACK to Las Vegas!

                                   LIAM
                         Bippo, please...

                                   BIPPO
                         DON'T you chastise me, young man! 
                         Next thing you know, we're going to
                         be de-evolving into newts or
                         something!

                                   DONNER
                         This is an EXACT copy of Liam's
                         apartment!  You can't tell now that
                         you didn't rip that off of my
                         script.

                                   PERSY P. PETERPUFFER
                         It's not an exact copy.

               Liam is reaching under the couch.  He pulls out a copy of
               "Big 'Uns" with Kari Wuhrer on the cover.

                                   LIAM
                         Oh, yes it is.  The pages stick
                         together and everything.

               Everyone looks at Liam.

                                   LIAM
                         I spilled a soda on it.

               A beat.

                         they are nothing like you and your
                         friends here.

               The cast members of The Lee. M. Smith show enter.  They stand
               across from their counterparts as though they are looking in
               some prevented mirror.  There is a long silence as the two
               look at each other.

               Bippo smacks Liam upside the head.

                                   THAD
                         You mean to tell me that the little
                         twerp on Doctor Quinn was actually
                         a werewolf the whole time?

                         Actually, I'm not a werewolf at
                         all.  I have a stand in for all
                         that stuff.

                                   THAD

               DOOGAN KESSLER walks out.

                         That would be me.

                         This is show business, Thad... all
                         the stars wear make-up.

                         until I can completely and utterly
                         destroy you!

               Donner looks at Scott Cann.

               EXT. A MOVIE THEATER

               The marque displays "VARSITY BLUES".  DONNER comes out of the
               theater arm in arm with Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz.

                                   DONNER
                         That was the worst football movie
                         I've ever seen!  And what about
                         that Scott Caan?  What is with his
                         neck?

                                   NICOLE KIDMAN
                         I totally agree!  Let's go home and
                         fool around!

                                   PENELOPE CRUZ
                         No, Donner!  You said you were
                         going to fool around with me!

               Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz get into a cat fight.

                                   DONNER
                         Ladies... Ladies... There is enough
                         of me to go around?  Why make war
                         when we can make wild nasty monkey
                         love?

                                   PENELOPE CRUZ

                         Yeah, unlike that mutant Scott Caan
                         and his huge neck!

               They laugh and walk out of frame as Scott Caan enters frame
               crying.

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         I'll destroy that Donner if it's
                         the last thing I do!

                         Wow, so Scott Caan vowed to destroy
                         you because you made fun of the
                         size of his gargantuan mutated

                                   DJ QUALLS
                         Can I go on break now?

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         NO!  AS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, I ORDER
                         YOU TO DESTROY DONNER AND HIS
                         FRIENDS!

               There is a long beat.

                                   CHAD ALLEN
                         That's not in my contract.

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         Persy!

               Persy P. Peterpuffer takes out a contract and shows it to DJ
               Qualls, Chad Allen, and Flippo the Clown.

                                   DJ QUALLS
                         Well, I'll be damned.  There it is.

                                   FLIPPO
                         Yep... All stars of a Scott Caan
                         production are contractually
                         obliged to kill and/or seriously
                         maim Jason Donner.

                                   CHAD ALLEN
                         Teach me not to read a contract
                         before I sign.

                                   DJ QUALLS
                         Chad!  I'm surprised at you! 
                         You're ALWAYS supposed to read a
                         contract before you sign!

                                   CHAD ALLEN
                         I'm sorry... I took lessons from
                         Bill Murray!  He never reads the
                         contract before a movie.  Or is it
                         the script?  I forgot.

                                   CHAD ALLEN
                         Ah.

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         Enough chit-chat!  Destroy them!

                                   DOOGAN
                         Will do!

               Doogan wolfs out and leaps at Donner but is caught mid-air by
               a STUNTMAN in a silver jumpsuit.

                                   STUNTMAN
                         Whoa, there Rex.

                                   DOOGAN
                         WHAT are you doing!?  I have to
                         kill them!  My executive producer
                         demands that I KILL!  KILL! 
                         KILLLLLLLLL!!!

                                   STUNTMAN
                         Not today you're not.  The stuntmen
                         union's decided to strike.

                                   DOOGAN
                         Huh?

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         WHAT!?

                                   STUNTMAN
                         It's a walkout, my friend.  Come
                         on.

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         NO!  SCOTT CAAN DEMANDS THAT YOU
                         KILL!

               Doogan looks at Scott Caan, then back at the stuntman, then
               back at Scott Caan.

                                   STUNTMAN
                             (warning to Doogan)
                         You don't want to loose your union
                         membership, do you?

                                   DOOGAN
                         I... er...

                                   STUNTMAN
                         You don't want to be a scab, do ya?

                                   DOOGAN
                         I am no scab!
                             (to Scott Caan)
                         UNION!  UNION!  UNION!

               Doogan and the stuntman walk out.

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         Drat!  Foiled by a low benefit
                         medical plan!  Not to worry, I
                         still have my loyal minions, DJ
                         Qualls, Flippo the Clown, and Chad
                         Allen!  Kill the--

               A beat as Scott Caan looks around.

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         Where are they?

                                   LIAM
                         Well, Tom Green walked in and told
                         DJ that he was making Road Trip II
                         and he told you to shove this penny
                         ante project up your you-know-what. 
                         Then, Ellen DeGeneres and Rupert
                         Everet picked up Chad Allen in a
                         limo to take him to some sort of
                         parade.  I didn't catch which.

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         And Flippo?

                                   LIAM
                         Bippo called him a butt-head and
                         Flippo stomped off saying something
                         about "I'll be in my trailer!"

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         Flippo does not have a trailer!

                                   LIAM
                         That's what I told him, but he said
                         he was going to keep looking until
                         he found one.

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         F*CKING ACTORS!

                                   DONNER
                         Give it up, Scott Caan!  You and
                         your enormous neck are beaten!

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         Not quite!  I have yet another ace
                         up my sleeve.

                                   LIAM
                             (blankly)
                         How will that help?

               Scott Caan whistles.  There is a distant rumbling and then a
               whistling sound like a cartoon bomb being dropped from the
               sky.  It gets louder and louder and louder until... KABAM! 
               HARRY KNOWLES crashes through the ceiling of the studio and
               lands in front of everyone.  It takes an additional five
               minutes for him to stop jiggling.

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         Ah... Harry Knowles!

                                   LIAM
                         Good god!

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                             (Irish accent)
                         FIRST THINGS FIRST!  WHERE'S YOUR
                         SH*TTER?  I GOT A TURTLE HEAD
                         POKING OUT!

               There is a long beat.

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         I'm no kiddin'.  It's SQUIDGEY! 
                         Christ, I'm gettin' all emotional
                         just talking about it.

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         No!  I promised you a scoop on Star
                         Wars Episode III in exchange for
                         you destroying Donner and his
                         friends!

                                   BIPPO
                         Oh, give me a break!  What's this
                         fat bastard going to do to us?

               Persy P. Peterpuffer runs into the studio.

                                   PERSY P. PETERPUFFER
                         Oh, my stars and garters!  What's
                         going on he--

               SLUUUUUUURP!  Harry Knowles eats Persy P. Peterpuffer and
               belches loudly.  Donner, Liam, Thad, and Bippo bunch together
               and shiver.

                                   BIPPO
                         Mama!

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         Finish them Knowles!  Finish them
                         now!

                                   HARRY KNOWLES
                         GET IN MY BELLY!

               Liam, Donner, Bippo, and Thad run for the door.  Scott Caan
               laughs and runs out another exit.  Harry Knowles takes off
               after the gang.

               EXT. USA STUDIOS

               The gang runs outside the giant soundstage.  Donner looks
               around.

                                   DONNER
                         Over there!  That would be an
                         excellent place to hide!

               They run for a different soundstage as Harry Knowles bursts
               out of the soundstage taking out an entire wall.

               INT. A STUDIO

               The set is made up to look like an desolate alien world.  A
               couple of actors in futuristic garb are on stage as a
               STAGEHAND enters frames with a clapper.

                                   STAGEHAND
                         "Pitch Black II: Pitch Blacker."
                         Take five.

                                   DIRECTOR
                         Action!

                                   ACTOR #1
                         What are we going to do?  These
                         aliens only come out to feed at
                         night and now there is a total
                         eclipse and they are all going to
                         come out and eat us!

                                   ACTOR #2
                         Perhaps that dangerous criminal
                         will save us.

               CHRIS ROCK enters.

                                   CHRIS ROCK
                         WHY is it that there only white
                         folk in the future?  Ever notice
                         how they're ain't no black folk on
                         The Jetsons except maybe for Rosie
                         and dat bitch is a robot!

               Donner, Liam, Thad, and Bippo run by.

                                   BIPPO
                             (to Chris Rock)
                         ROCK, YOU WAS DAH BOMB IN "POOTIE
                         TANG," YO!

               Rock gives him the power salute before he and everyone else
               on stage is scooped into Harry Knowles mouth and eaten.

               EXT. USA STUDIOS

               The gang looks at a Studio and screams in terror.  The camera
               pans around to reveal the sign "PLINCHET AND McCLAIN II:
               FORBIDDEN PASHIONS - NOW FILMING!"  They look in a different
               direction and scream in terror again as they see another sign
               on a different soundstage that says "CABIN ON THE LAKE III:
               ALL WET - NOW FILMING".  Behind them, Harry Knowles erupts
               from the previous soundstage.

                                   LIAM
                         What do we do!?  It's death in one
                         direction and pain worse than death
                         in the other two!?

                                   THAD
                         Now time!  Eeeny, meeny, miney,
                         moe!  Catch a tiger by the toe.  If
                         he hollers make him pay.  Fifty
                         dollars every day.  My mother and
                         your mother were talking a
                         little...

               Donner gets fed up, grabs Thad, and runs to "The Cabin on the
               Lake" set.  Liam and Bippo follows.

               INT. A STUDIO

               JUDD NELSON is sitting in a boat filming "The Cabin by the
               Lake III".

                                   JUDD NELSON
                         Oh yes... I just need to add one
                         more pretty lady to my collection
                         at the bottom.  Just one more...
                         Just one...

               Donner, Bippo, Liam, and Thad leap out of the water and jump
               into the boat.

                                   JUDD NELSON
                         GAH!  Who the hell are you people!

                                   LIAM
                         We're running from a gargantuan fat
                         internet geek who wants to eat us.

                                   DONNER
                         Yeah, so shut up and get me a soda!

                                   JUDD NELSON
                         But, I'm not a caterer!  I'm Judd
                         Nelson!  I was a member of the brat
                         pack!  I was...

                                   DONNER
                         I SAID, GET ME A SODA, BITCH!

                                   JUDD NELSON
                         Yes sir.

               Judd Nelson stands up.  Harry Knowles LEAPS out of the water
               like a humpback whale, snatches Judd Nelson off the boat, and
               splashes back into the water creating a tsunami that washes
               everyone out of the studio.

                                   DONNER
                         I think we should leave now.

                                   BIPPO
                         Up there!

               Bippo points to a catwalk.

                                   DONNER
                         Sure, what the hell.

               Donner, Liam, Thad, and Bippo climb up a ladder onto the
               catwalk and start making their way across the walkway high
               above the stage.

                                   LIAM
                         You know, I know that this is a
                         terrible time to mention this...
                         but this is a really bad escape
                         route because we've basically been
                         cornered and...

               WHAM!  Harry Knowles leaps up and grabs the catwalk in front
               of them with his teeth, ripping it loose.  Both he and the
               section of catwalk falls back into the water leaving the gang
               hanging on for dear life high above the floor.

                                   THAD
                         I don't want to die like this! 
                         Come to think of it, I don't want
                         to die any way!

               Liam looks up and sees a canister of oxygen just in reach.

                                   LIAM
                         Bippo, can I borrow a gun?

               Bippo throws Liam a Magnum with laser sight.

                                   BIPPO
                         Her name is Scarlet.  Treat her
                         well.

                                   DONNER
                         What are you going to do?

                                   LIAM
                         You ever seen Jaws?

               Harry Knowles leaps out of the water again.  Liam drops the
               oxygen canister into his mouth and then takes aim with the
               gun as Harry Knowles is about to devour them.

                                   LIAM
                         SMILE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!

               Liam fires at the Oxygen canister.  It explodes spattering
               Harry Knowles all over the place and all over the gang.

                                   DONNER
                         UGH!

                                   THAD
                         Tastes like bacon!

                                   BIPPO
                         Well, look on the bright side. 
                         We're all alive, right?

               There is a creaking sound above them.  They all slowly look
               up.

               EXT. THE SOUNDSTAGE

               The battered building collapses into a pile of rubble.

               Donner, Liam, Bippo, and Thad crawl out.

                                   LIAM
                         That wasn't so bad.

               Donner's cell phone rings.

                                   DONNER
                         Oh, what now?

               He answers it.

                                   DONNER
                         This is Donner.

               INT. SCOTT CAAN'S HIDEOUT

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         Donner?  You're still alive, my old
                         friend?

               INTERCUT

                                   DONNER
                         STILL... old... friend.  You've
                         managed to kill just about everyone
                         else here, but like a poor marksman
                         you just KEEP missing the target!

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         Perhaps I no longer need to try.

               From a different soundstage, the banner "THE LEE M. SMITH
               SHOW - DEBUTING THIS FALL ON USA" is unrolled.  The gang
               looks on in horror.

                                   DONNER
                         You've got your show, Caan.  But
                         you don't have me.  You wanted to
                         kill me, Caan, you're going to HAVE
                         to come down here!

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         I've done worse that kill you,
                         Donner... I've hoort you.  And I
                         wish to go on hoorting you.  I
                         shall leave you as you left me...
                         marooned for all eternity in the
                         center of a culturally dead studio.

                         Did that seem a little familiar to
                         you?

               Donner hangs up.

                                   DONNER
                         SH*T!

                                                       FADE TO:

               INT. LIAM'S APARTMENT

               Liam, Donner, Thad, and Bippo are sitting on the couch
               watching TV.

                                   CHIP BEAVERMILK
                         And now, for our special
                         entertainment report, here's Connie
                         Lingus.

                                   CONNIE LINGUS
                         Thanks, Chip.  USA Studios is still
                         reeling from it's disastrous
                         offering of "The Lee M. Smith Show"
                         the show so terrible, it was
                         actually yanked off the air before
                         the first episode was finished
                         with.  Executive producer Scott
                         Caan could not be reached for
                         comment therefore, we will assume
                         that he is a complete dipsh*t.

               Liam clicks off the TV.

                                   LIAM
                         It's good to see good taste
                         prevail.

                                   DONNER
                         Yes, but there's just one thing I
                         don't understand...

                                   BIPPO
                         How Liam hit that canister with
                         just one shot?

                                   THAD
                         Why Chris Rock was in the Pitch
                         Black sequel?

                                   LIAM
                         Why Thad never wolfed out and saved
                         us?

                                   DONNER
                         Okay, there are several things I
                         don't understand, but the most
                         prevalent is how in the hell Caan
                         got his hands on my script in the
                         first place!

               PROFESSOR ARTURO enters wearing a fur coat, diamond encrusted
               sunglasses, a velvet hat with a feather in it, and a diamond
               ring on each finger.

                                   ARTURO
                             (smells)
                         It smells like up dog in here.

                                   LIAM
                         What's up dog?

                                   ARTURO
                         WHAT'S UP, DOG!?

               Arturo laughs.

                                   ARTURO
                         Forgive me, my boy... Now, I came
                         to tell Thad that there is a
                         terrible leak in the basement that
                         needs to be fixed.

                                   THAD
                         I'll get right on it, professor.

                                   ARTURO
                         There's a good lad.  If anyone
                         needs me, I'll be in Hawaii for two
                         weeks.

               Arturo exits.

                                   DONNER
                         Yep... someone sold me out to Scott
                         Caan, but the question is.  Who?

                                   LIAM
                         I guess we'll never know.

                                   DONNER
                         Well, one thing's for sure... this
                         isn't the last I've heard of Scott
                         Caan.  There's no telling what that
                         evil devious bastard has in store
                         ne--

               SPLAT!  A pie hits Donner in the face.  Scott Caan is
               standing in the doorway.

                                   SCOTT CAAN
                         Gotcha, you big poopie head!

               He runs away laughing.

                                   DONNER
                         I hate him.
