Cube
"You said this pyjama party was gonna have 'smores. Where's my damn 'smores?"
CUBE
The Abridged Script
FADE IN:
INT. A ROOM
It's dark. It's a cube. Some guy gets sliced to bits by a large egg slicer.
AUDIENCE
Hey, that was pretty cool! This film kicks ass!
There are hatches on each side of the cube. Six people appear in the room from different sides.
COP
How did we all get here? Where are we? Who are you?
NERD
I'm the token nerd who sloves everything.
OLD GUY
Don't worry. I'm a master escape artist, but I'm gonna die in a minute.
DOCTOR
I'm more annoying that Jar Jar Binks. Hate me. Please.
COP
Ok, we need to get out of here. But those rooms are booby trapped. How do we get past them?
OLD GUY
Use your boots. And eat your buttons. For some reason this will keep you alive.
DISABLED GUY
I'm really smart. But you won't find this out for about an hour, and I'll get us out quite quickly then. For now I'll just make noises and hit myself in the head.
The cast members pick a hatch and move to a new room.
NERD
Hang on, I know how to get out! These numbers are prime numbers. Any room with prime numbers is safe!
AUDIENCE
How the fuck did she figure that out so quickly? Why are we watching this? This movie sucks now.
DISABLED GUY
Ok, now it's time to tell you I can get us out of here, cause I'm actually Stephen Hawking. It's not prime numbers, it's the prime of prime numbers that means the rooms are safe. A super computer takes about 3 years to do one calcualting, but I can do them in 3 seconds in my head. Give me sweets.
AUDIENCE
Why the hell did ordinary prime numbers work then?
COP
I'm gonna kill you all!
He kills some people, including the DOCTOR. The audience cheers.
TARENTINO WANNABE
By the way, I built this thing. Lets leave.
They figure out the rooms revolve. This is supposed to be CLEVER. They eventually make it to the last room, but only the DISABLED GUY leaves.
TARENTINO WANNABE
I built this thing, and to get lots of sympathy from the AUDIENCE, I'm gonna stay in here until I die as punishment.
NERD
Me too. Lets kill the COP.
They do.
END
