SCENE 22
EXT – THE FOREST
(PEASANTS, CREATURE, ALGORE, FRANCOPHILE)
THE ANGRY MOB IS RUNNING THROUGH THE FOREST, YELLING AND SHOUTING. SUDDENLY THEY COME UPON A HORRIBLE CREATURE EATING A BABY, BUT IT IS NOT THE HIDEOUS FREAK THAT FRANCOPHILE BUILT.
PEASANT #5
There's the freak! Kill it!
CREATURE
Wait, wait, calm down, I'm not the horrible freak you’re looking for. I'm just an ordinary creature of some sort. The freak is over there.
THE CREATURE POINTS IN SOME RANDOM DIRECTION, WHERE THE HIDEOUS FREAK IS STANDING. THE FREAK SEES THAT ALL THE MOB MEMBERS TURN TO LOOK AT HIM. HE SUDDENLY TAKES OFF RUNNING.
PEASANT #6
Sorry about the mishap.
CREATURE
No problem.
PEASANT #7
Terribly sorry.
CREATURE
Could have happened to anyone.
AS HE IS WALKING AWAY, THE PEASANT PICKS UP A PIECE OF THE BABY THAT THE CREATURE DROPPED AND HANDS IT BACK TO HIM.
PEASANT #7
Oh, you dropped this.
CREATURE
Ah, thanks so much.
THE CAMERA SLOWLY PANS OVER TO REVEAL FRANCOPHILE AND ALGORE SITTING IN THE BUSHES HIDING. THEY WATCH THE MOB RUN OFF AFTER THE FREAK.
FRANCOPHILE
Now that that mob is gone, we have nothing to worry About, Algore.
ALGORE
Yes, Prof. Francophile.
A LIGHT SUDDENLY SHINES ON BOTH OF THEM. THEY LOOK UP TO SEE THE CARDBOARD UFO SUCKING THEM IN THROUGH A BEAM OF LIGHT.
ALGORE
You had to tempt fate, didn't you, you stupid bastard.
FRANCOPHILE
Oh, damn.
