The Terrifying Revenge of the B-Movie!!!: Scene 39

SCENE 39

EXT – BLACKSMITH SHOP
(ZORBON, ZANDAR, BLACKSMITH)

THE BLACKSMITH EMERGES FROM THE UFO, WIPING HIS HANDS WITH A CHEESECLOTH.

BLACKSMITH

Listen, guys, I’ve fixed up most of your boat, but frankly I don’t know if I can fix your hyperdrive without at least a couple more hydrospanners. Besides, this engine looks like it’s billions of years beyond anything we have here on earth.

ZORBON

You mean we’re grounded?

ZANDAR

Stuck here on Earth?

BLACKSMITH

Say…I thought you two said you were earthlings.

ZORBON

Yes. Yes, of course we are.

BELATEDLY ZORBON PUTS ON A FEDORA TO COVER HIS BEANIE ANTENNAE. ZANDAR, NOT HAVING A HAT HANDY, SIMPLY TAKE HIS BEANIE OFF.

BLACKSMITH

Oh, all right then. So about those 24 million credits…
