Mafia!: The Abridged Script
FADE IN:
EXT. A STREET IN ITALY SOMEWHERE – DAY
SETH ADKINS
I am the main character, but younger. I sell flowers.
YOUNG GIRL
Hello, Seth. How is my favorite
(loudly)
FLORIST?
SETH ADKINS
I am fine. I sure do enjoy being a FLORIST, despite having this leg problem which forces me to wear braces on my legs.
YOUNG GIRL
Those braces?
She points. The camera ZOOMS in on the leg braces.
SETH ADKINS
Yes. Those braces. On my legs. That I wear on my legs. The braces I wear on my legs.
YOUNG GIRL
And you are a florist.
SETH ADKINS
Yes.
Suddenly, ITALIAN HENCHMEN who were friends of the director show up.
ITALIAN HENCHMEN
We will chase you.
SETH ADKINS
I will run.
They CHASE SETH. He is RUNNING. We go into slow motion.
YOUNG GIRL
RUN, FLORIST!! RUN!!
AUDIENCE
Ha ha ha! A Forrest Gump reference! That was great! Although I wouldn’t have understood that joke if they didn’t so painstakingly set it up, so it’s a good thing that scene took so long.
The BRACES on his legs FALL APART.
AUDIENCE
Ha. Like in the movie. Ha ha.
The bad guys trip over them and they FALL and HURT themselves.
SETH ADKINS
I will go to America, where more hijinks and dated movie references can ensue.
INT. CUSTOMS – DAY
ITALIANS are in lines, waiting to become Americans. They stand in line, holding pasta, meatballs, sauces, and other items that Italians would carry. This mockery is FUNNY. SETH gets past customs, and goes into America, where he grows up into JAY MOHR.
JAY MOHR
I am Jay Mohr now. I am sorry for doing Paulie.
Jay walks around and, although he doesn’t know it, his movements are causing things to happen around him that usually end up with MALES being hit in their PRIVATES. All of this is FUNNY.
INT. AN OFFICE-KINDA THING – DAY
LLOYD BRIDGES
I am a Mafia king.
BILLY BURKE
I want to inherit the Mafia when Lloyd dies, and I am also crazy and nutty, which will make things very funny later on.
LLOYD BRIDGES
Let’s have a party like the one in Godfather. If we make it look like the same set, people will think it’s a parody.
JAY MOHR
Hello father, I am here, and I brought my girlfriend, Kelly Bundy.
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE
I am the only female character in this, other than Jay’s mother, I am not Italian, and being in a totally Italian environment will maximize the awareness of how funny our Italian stereotypes are.
OLYMPIA DUKAKIS, JAY’s mother, FARTS. This is extremely FUNNY.
EXT. A PARTY LIKE THE ONE IN GODFATHER – DAY
LLOYD BRIDGES
I will now dance.
LLOYD dances in a comedic way.
RANDOM ITALIAN CHARACTER
You will DIE!
The RANDOM ITALIAN CHARACTER shoots LLOYD BRIDGES.
We watch the on-screen death of a character being played by an actor who recently actually died.
The RANDOM ITALIAN CHARACTER shoots LLOYD more and more, filling him with bullets. This scene is not CUT, despite being in terrible taste.
A dramatic scene ensues, depicting LLOYD dying. He breathes his last breath.
INT. HOSPITAL – DAY
LLOYD BRIDGES
I am alive.
AUDIENCE
Yay!
LLOYD BRIDGES
Jay Mohr, I am giving you my empire, including the casino.
BILLY BURKE
I wanted it, so that angers me.
He plots to kill JAY. He will FAIL and snort COCAINE.
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE
I don’t want you to be involved with the mob. I do not approve. Good bye.
She leaves.
INT. CASINO – DAY
JAY MOHR walks by casino tables. They contain weird games, such as GUESS THE NUMBER. This is very FUNNY, despite being LAME in NATIONAL LAMPOON’S VEGAS VACATION.
EXT. OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE – DAY
JAY MOHR
Honey! I love you! While I am not getting rid of my Mafia, I realized that true love is more important than it, and I want you back.
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE
I can’t talk now. I have a meeting with the other world leaders.
AUDIENCE
Kelly Bundy as the president? Now THAT is funny.
A CUTE CHILD walks up.
JAY MOHR
We have a child. He will play football.
CHRISTINA goes long and the CUTE CHILD throws the football. CHRISTINA catches it and does a football victory dance, which is extremely FUNNY, because she is a woman and shouldn’t be doing things like playing football and doing victory dances. If budget allows, have her in a DRESS and a FEMININE HAT to heighten the hilarity of it.
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE
Jay Mohr, I love you!
JAY MOHR
I love you, too!
OLYMPIA DUKAKIS
I love beans! Ha ha ha.
OLYMPIA DUKAKIS lets out a huge, gigantic, collasal FART.
END





he doesn’t grow up to be Jay Mhor, he grows up to become Lloyd Bridges!!… or whatever, the movie sucked anyways (this script was good…)
