The Girls
Knight

By: Jaden Zotigh

1, Open Land

 

Asa: (Is shown running uphill and stopping at a dead body. He removes his knight helmet and looks at the body. Edwin catches up and stops at the body as well) What in the heavens are we going to do?

Edwin: Don’t look at me! Your ancient ass killed this dude

Asa: Yes, that I am aware of, but what do you suppose we do? 

Edwin: (Thinks for a moment) I do know something you could do!

Asa: Then spill it! 

Edwin: You could go to the future, where I’m from. The only problem is Ryder is right on my tail right now. I could hold them off long enough for you to get to the future! After you get there, you are completely on your own!

Asa: If Ryder defeats you, what will become of me?

Edwin: I don’t know! I can’t predict the future!

Asa: I will trust you brother! (Asa begins running away but is stopped by Edwin)

Edwin: BEFORE I FORGET! Asa! If anyone asks for your code, tell them 16-73-42

Asa: 16-73-42?

Edwin: Yes! 16-73-42! Remember that with your life! (Asa continues to run off)

THE GIRLS KNIGHT

 

3, Tara's House

 

Setting: At Tara's house. Tara will be sitting on the couch in their comfy clothes watching some rom-com on TV. A sign at the bottom of the screen will be shown, stating: Modern Day)

 

Tokie: (Tara gets up and walks to her door opening it. Tokie is on the other side holding a 12 pack of soda) I brought the drugs

Tara: What?

Tokie: The drugs (She says slowly as she goes cross eyed)

Tara: What drugs?

Tokie: Shhhh, not so loud (She says while coming inside. Tara watches Tokie make her way to the couch and plop down, wrapping herself like a cocoon in a blanket) Am I the first one here? (Tara finishes closing the door and makes her way back to Tokie)

Tara: No, Alex is in the restroom

Tokie: Wait, Hot Alex or Girl Alex?

Tara: Which Alex is Hot Alex?

Tokie: Alex from music!

Tara: The only Alex from music is a girl

Tokie: Yeah, but that’s hot Alex, so that probably means that girl Alex is here

Tara: Why did I invite you?

Alex: (From behind them both) Cause she’s a bitch (Camera will turn around revealing Alex leaning on the wall holding a drink in her hand)

Tokie: Ooooh, Alex lives to see another day!

Tara: Yeah, but if she’s a bitch, why would I invite her?

Tokie: You clearly have a crush on me, otherwise I wouldn’t be here

Alex: Clearly

Tara: But like aside from that--- (Doorbell rings) I’ll get it

Alex: Better get it, it’s your house

Tara: (Opens the door) Sandra! Wow, all of you actually came! (Turns looking at Alex and Tokie) 

Tokie: All of us? You only invited 3 people?

Tara: Well it’s not like I have millions of friends. I’ve deemed you all worthy of my friendship

Alex: (Sarcastically) oh yeah! Hashtag Blessed

Sandra: Well I’m grateful to be your friend

Tokie: Oh no, Sandra, you’re not the friend. Tara is clearly crushing on you

Sandra: Who isn’t? (Tokie nods her head as if to say, “You got a point,”)

Alex: So, what are the plans for the night?

Tara: Well, I didn’t think that far ahead, but I’ve got like a ton of chairs, and a ton of blankets, so I was thinking---

Tokie: She’s gonna say build a fort

Tara: Oh my God, how did you know?

Tokie: I could see it

Alex: That is such a stupid idea. Like honestly----

 

4, The Fort

 

Alex: (Inside the fort) That was probably the most fun I’ve had since high school

Sandra: Well, I mean, I would say since college, but I’m still going

Tokie: Nerd!

Sandra: You’re not a nerd if you go to college. 

Tokie: I don’t know… I don’t think you can convince me otherwise

Tara: Ooh! We should watch The Princess Bride! 

Alex: This plan sounds like a sixth grade girls fantasy

Tara: Nobody said no

Alex: Because The Princess Bride is the greatest movie of all time

Tara: Yes! (Hops out of the fort) 

Tokie: Does anyone want any drugs?

Sandra: Jeezus

Alex: Depends on your definition of drugs

Tokie: Just a question, I only have soda 

Tara: (From outside of the fort) I found it!

Tokie: The drugs?

Tara: Uhh, no. The Princess Bride! (All the power in the house cuts out, or atleast all the lights go out)  

 

5, The Dark

 

Tokie: Oooh, spooky! (All the girls get out of the fort and start shining their flashlights from their phones for light)

Tara: (confused) I paid my bills

Sandra: There’s not a storm outside either

Tara: (Makes her way to the breaker and begins flipping switches. Just then, when she flips the correct switch, the hallway light comes on and so does the restroom light. Asa is shown standing in the middle of the room. Tara sees him and screams. Asa screams as well) What the fuck is that! (She says as she runs back to the others) 

Tokie: What is it?

Sandra: I can call 911

Tara: There is a knight man in the restroom!

Asa: By the heavens it worked! Hello, I am Asa

Tokie: Ooh, cosplay

Alex: Stay back or I’ll cut you

Asa: Ah! That’s a good one. Could thou ladies inform me as to where I am?

Alex: I’m serious!

Sandra: I will call the police on you if you don’t leave right now!

Asa: No, need to get whatever that is. I just need to know what year it is!

Tara: 2020!

Asa: 2020! I truly believed I would only go one year into the future! I am centuries ahead of my time

Tokie: Imagine if he’s from the ninth century era and he magically teleported here to the year 2020!

Sandra: Yeah, nice cosplay! Nice character! Are we on some reality tv show? Like, where are the cameras Tara?

Tara: I think this is real

Alex: Are you fucking stupid? This dude just breaks into your house and you believe he’s from medieval times

Tara: Yes. It makes sense, I just need to know how he’s here.

Asa: Pardon me?

Alex: Yeah Tara, you’re confusing the shit out of me right now

Tokie: What if Tara is actually Asa’s long lost wife!

Sandra: What?

Tokie: I don’t know, just a theory

Sandra: How did you come up with that specific theory?

Tokie: General conclusion. I mean… I guess I’ve got no evidence for that one, but I feel a plot twist coming up for sure

Asa: I am very very confused. 

Alex: What year are you supposedly from, Asa

Asa: 1437! 

Alex: Well, if he’s from the 1400’s or something, can’t we just google the dude? 

Tokie: If we kill him, we can hide the body and nobody will ever know (All characters look at Tokie) 

Asa: That is evil! It all makes sense… 

Sandra: What makes sense?

Asa: That SHE (Points at Tokie) is a WITCH !

Alex: Jeezus, he thinks it’s witchcraft. Look, witchcraft is like… not real… Trust me, I’ve tried it with this creepy ass necklace! (Shows off the dark necklace)

Asa: You’ve dabbled in witchcraft? 

Tokie: Oooh

Alex: Like I said, I don’t think it worked, but now that I think about it, it could have summoned you, Asa

Tokie: Oh black magic is real. You probably just didn’t say the words right (Snaps a selfie with Asa) Nice.

Asa: I am so confused!

Tara: You can quit the accent too! You guys only spoke like that because you wanted to sound sophisticated 

Sandra: Well that sounds made up, don’t believe everything you read on the internet

Asa: (Drops accent) Actually she’s right. 

Tokie: (Turns to Tara) What history books are you reading?

Sandra: Wait, hold on, Alex, you messed around with Witchcraft before?

Tokie: Damn, you hella late to that conversation

Tara: This is confusing

Alex: I messed around with it a little bit to get a man

Sandra: You-- you messed around with dark magic to summon a man?

Alex: Oh, don’t look at me like that! Masturbation gets boring after awhile (Everyone ewws’) What! We all fucking do it!

Tokie: Yeah, but nobody talks about it!

Sandra: So you messed with black magic to have sex?

Alex: Oh my God, you guys are so---

Asa: Masturbation is a sin

Sandra: Yeah! He’s right

Tokie: I think we know. (Raises her eyebrows at Sandra) 

Tara: What’s your name again? 

Asa: My name is Asa. Asa Lightker

Alex: I’m googling you!

Asa: Thanks, but I’m okay

Alex: What?

Asa: I refuse to let you google me. 

Alex: How do you know what google is?

Asa: Well, I was pretty close with the ladies. I don’t mean to brag, but the women were begging to google me, as well as fondle with my--

Alex: NO! STOP!

Sandra: Jeezus

Tokie: hehe

Asa: Yeah…  

 

6, Bedroom

 

Alex: (Sits at the computer typing away. Asa looks confused at the computer) So far nothing

Asa: This is like a scribe from the Gods

Alex: Nah, people made this

Asa: But it keeps moving like… a lot

Tara: (Texting someone titled R on her phone) That’s technology for you

Asa: I’m not sure what that means, but thanks

Tara: No, umm… Technology is like the future inventions

Asa: So… like everything here is technology?

Tara: (Stops messaging and looks up) Man, I don’t know!

Alex: I’ll google the definition of technology (Searches Google Definition of Technology) The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in the industry

Asa: (Finally understands) Oh, why didn’t you just say that?

Alex: Actually, now I’m confused. I honestly don’t think I’ve tried explaining the word technology to anyone

Sandra: Tara, can I talk to you for a moment?

Tara: Yeah? (Sandra and Tara walk into the hallway) 

 

7, The Hallway

 

Sandra: So… Asa... Yeah? He is here...

Tara: Yeah?

Sandra: So what’re you gonna do with him?

Tara: If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, that’s gross!

Sandra: What? No! I mean, in terms of keeping him around or kicking him out

Tara: I am trying to figure that out right now! I just need some time. And proof that he’s actually from medieval times. Otherwise, I’ve got a few ideas in mind. 

Sandra: So he could have time traveled here somehow? Or he got summoned with black magic? Or--- 

Tara: Hey! That’s assuming that there is an outlandish answer to all of this. Honestly, he could just be a break-in. If there is no proof of him being from the 1400s then we call the cops. I just think that if he wanted to hurt any of us, that he could have done a much better job at it? If that makes sense.

Sandra: I just wanna make sure we’re doing the right thing as far as staying safe goes

Alex: (Walks in from the bedroom followed by Tokie and Asa) There is really no information on an Asa Lightker, unless Asa is Asa the Great!

Asa: I was never deemed a great, so by conclusion I assume I’m not a great. The google could not find me… Why am I saddened by that?

Alex: The google can’t find anyone of us, so don’t beat yourself up about it

Asa: Aha, now I’m not the only lame one!

Sandra: Google when the word lame was invented

Alex: On it

Asa: What?

Alex: (On her phone) It was invented in 725! That’s… actually hella old

Tokie: Ancient

Asa: I’m confused

Tara: Are you guys just trying to find any reason to get rid of Asa? Because if you guys wanna get rid of him, then do it. Go ahead!

Sandra: No, I just don’t trust him

Tara: Why not?

Sandra: Time Travel? Dark Magic?

Asa: I want to gain your trust, so I will now tell you my darkest secrets. Alamander was not a man, just a boy, and I encouraged him into battle. 

Tokie: Was there bloodshed?

Asa: By Alamander, yes. He was a true knight. 

Sandra: HOW DOES THIS HELP!?!?

Alex: jeez dude, calm down

Asa: I didn’t mean to offend you, I know I shouldn’t have encouraged him, but it felt right

Sandra: I don’t care about Alamander! Okay Asa! I don’t care about Alamander, or you, or your story! I don’t know you! I don’t trust you! 

Tara: (The text from R comes in on her phone. It asks, “What’s his code,”) Can you please calm down?

Sandra: No! This is all bullshit! 

Asa: I shall be on my way if that is how you see it

Tara: This is my house! Sandra, if you don’t like it, you can leave! Asa! What is your code?

Asa: My code? 

Tara: I am only asking once!

Asa: It is Sixteen. Seventy Three. Forty Two. 

Tara: Right. (Sends the code to R) 

Sandra: How can you be so blind? How? 

Alex: Alamander is in history books. (she shows her phone) It says; Alamnder Ofius was the third son of Garadel--- blah blah blah, Alamander was no older than 15 when he entered his first battle. Encouraged by the Mystery Knight. 

Tara: Mystery Knight? 

Tokie: Ooh, a secret knight. Click on it.

Alex: Alright   The Mystery Knight is unknown, but known to most knights. The same knight was sworn to protect all, except right before the great battle of sanitarium, he vanished. All knights who mention the Mystery Knight, believe he was murdered before battle. They claim he never would have run. 

Asa: I am the Mystery Knight?

Tokie: Yes

Asa: My name never went down in history. I am going to be remembered as the knight who helped Alamander and fled from battle. 

Tokie: Ha! 

Sandra: I still don’t trust him

Alex: I don’t really know what to believe.

Tokie: This is weird

Tara: I know! (R sends the message, “That code is corrupt, do not trust him”)

Sandra: I’m going home! 

Tara: Please don’t go, I think we need to stick together here

Sandra: Since when? Why would we need to stick together if we can trust him? You tell me to leave if I don't like it, and now you're telling me to stay. Can you make up your mind Tara? 

Tokie: That is the oof question of the day

Alex: If he doesn’t belong here, then what does it matter? (Lights cut out) 

 

8, The Dark

 

Alex: Oh shit

Tokie: You think another time traveler is here?

Sandra: I hope not

Tokie: I hope this time we get a princess (Everyone turns their flashlights on again) 

Alex: Shut up (Flips the breaker and the lights come back on. Edwin is standing in the restroom) 

Tara: (Sees Edwin and looks unamused) Hmm...

Edwin: Hello! Can you tell me where I am?

Alex: You’re in the year 2020 in a peasants home!

Tara: Peasant?

Asa: Edwin? Brother, you made it! What happened?

Tokie: I guess they know each other. 

Edwin: Yes, Ryder chased me a long ways, but I managed to escape. 

Tara: Ryder chased you? (Still on her phone messaging R. She types out “Edwin is in my house in 2020” and sends it) 

Alex: Who’s Ryder?

Tokie: Ryder is probably a cyborg from the future sent back in time to kill any threats!

Alex: Like terminator?

Tokie: (Thinks for a moment) Damnit! I thought that was such a good theory!

Alex: I’m going to the restroom (Walks to the restroom, but is stopped by Tara) 

Tara: How about you go to the other restroom that doesn’t have a time machine in it (Alex goes to the other restroom) 

Tokie: Time Machine?

Sandra: Tara, why do you sound like you know what’s happening

Tara: Because I do. Sort of? (Lights cut out) Ugh! Not again! (Flips the light back on and Ryder is shown in the restroom)

Ryder: Am I too late? (Walking out) 

Tara: Nope, Edwin is right--- (Looks around) Where is he? (Everyone looks around) 

Asa: He took Alex that way! (points at the master bedroom. Tara and Ryder rush to the master bedroom and Alex is nowhere to be seen. The bathroom door opens and Alex steps out) 

Alex: Woah! Who are you? (To Ryder)

Asa: (Clapping from down the hall) Bravo! You all almost caught me! Guess you’ll have to be smarter than that though! (Starts to run, but Ryder whips out an alien blaster and shoots Asa who falls to the ground) 

Sandra: OH MY GOD! (Ducking out of the way. Tokie bursts into the closest bedroom near her. She looks up and Asa is on the floor knocked out) 

Tokie: I found Asa

Alex: I thought that she totally just shot Asa though! 

Ryder: For one I just tranquilized him. Two, he’s not Asa! And Three, he was (Dramatic zoom up as Ryder takes off her sunglasses) A shapeshifter from the future! 

Tokie: Cool. (She says as starts untying Asa) 

Ryder: Weird enough though. Anyone other than the time police, AKA ME! And Tara, aren’t allowed to know about time travel. 

Sandra: So now what? You’re going to wipe our minds of this night?

Ryder: No, actually we’re going to kill you all. Execution is the solution. 

Tara: (Pulls out her own space blaster) Execution is the solution.

Alex: (Pushes Ryder into Tara and they both fall over. Alex then rushes out of the room and slams the door behind herself) RUN! (Alex, Tokie and Sandra rush to the kitchen and hide behind the kitchen island) 

 

9, The Chase

 

Sandra: What do we do?

Tokie: We probably should have ran out the front door

Alex: Oh we are so fucked!

Ryder: Come out, come out wherever you are!

Tara: You idiot! They all ran out the front door! 

Ryder: What?

Tara: They’re not stupid! They all already escaped! 

Ryder: Shit! That’s… That’s… not what I was expecting! 

Tara: Come on! (She says as she rushes out of the front door followed by Ryder) 

Sandra: Good they’re gone! 

Alex: What do we do?

Tokie: Alex said she was into black magic. I say we summon a guy!

Sandra: What?

Tokie: They’re going to realize we didn’t leave and when they do, they’re going to find us. If Alex summons a guy, he’ll be all zombied out and ready to kill

Alex: I was summoning a guy that would love me!

Tokie: A guy that would love you and a guy that would fuck you is not the same thing!

Sandra: I think Tokie is right. If you summon a guy that loves you, he’ll definitely be evil

Alex: Well if you guys are so adamant that we should summon a guy, why don’t one of you summon this guy!

Tokie: With pleasure! (Snatches the dark necklace and puts it on. She then starts whispering and out of nowhere Atchy appears from behind them all. Atchy is dressed oddly and is holding a huge caveman looking club in their hands) 

Atchy: Ugh Ugh, ATCHY SKURRED 

Alex: Ah, what the fuck is that?

Sandra: I think that’s the evil summon

Tokie: Do you love me? (To Atchy)

Atchy: Ugh. Atchy Love Tokie! UGH

Sandra: Oh God. What if they never come back?

Tokie: (Looks at Sandra and then back to Atchy) Then we have another problem to deal with

Atchy: Atchy Itchy

Alex: What do we do?

Tokie: Atchy. There’s some weird future geeks that love me! And if you don’t fight them, I might fall in love with them instead of you!

Atchy: Ugh! NO! Tokie love no other!

Tokie: That’s right baby! So Atchy has to fight the future geeks when they come back!

Atchy: Ugh! Ye!

Tokie: Who’s a good Atchy?

Atchy: YOU ARE!

Sandra: I really hope I’m dreaming

Asa: (Rushes into the kitchen with a sword) Aha! I searched the house and found a sword! Your Knight in shining armor is here! Except without the armor!

Alex: DAMNIT! WE FORGOT WE HAD A LITERAL KNIGHT IN THE BACK ROOM!!

Atchy: (Walks to Asa kinda slouched) Me Atchy UGH!

Asa: Umm… 

Edwin: (Sits up from across the room) Woah! 

Asa: Edwin? Why did you knock me out back there!

Tokie: Oh, yeah, I also forgot about the shapeshifter in the living room. 

Asa: Shapeshifter? 

Edwin: Right! Umm... (Jumps to his feet and pulls out a small pocket knife) 

Atchy: Ugh! Kill weak UGH MAN! (Raises club) 

Tara: (Opens the door and comes inside with Ryder. Tara looks at the girls. Then Atchy. Then Edwin. Then Asa) Umm…

Ryder: (Rushes in and closes the door behind herself) Who’s that? (To Atchy) 

Tokie: Everyone attack! (She says as Asa, Atchy, Edwin, Tara and Ryder all rush at each other. Tokie, Sandra and Alex hide behind the Island as everyone fights off camera) 

Sandra: What do we do if Tara wins? Or the other time cop?

Alex: Run

Sandra: What if Edwin wins?

Tokie: Probably still run

Sandra: If Asa wins?

Alex: Oh, I’m marrying him. 

Tokie: Nice. 

Atchy: Ugh Ugh ATCHY! (Raises club in air. Sandra looks up over the Island and sees Atchy standing around with their club raised in the air. Everyone else is dead on the floor) 

Atchy: (Dancing in circles) Atchy UGH UGH ATCHY UGH 

Sandra: Atchy won

Alex: Wait--- (Alex and Tokie stand up) So, A literal Knight in shining aromor, an evil summoned lover, a shapeshifter and 2 time cops all fought and somehow the evil summoned lover won? 

Tokie: Yeah! That’s awesome! 

Sandra: Awesome? Awesome is building a fort while watching The Princess Bride! Not this!

Atchy: (From above the Island) For Tokie!

Tokie: Nah, this was pretty awesome!

Atchy: Atchy won! (Tokie and Sandra stand up and look at Atchy) 

Alex: It’s just crazy to think that Tara was a Time Traveler. All this time…

Sandra: It’s crazy to think that time travel is possible

Tokie: I wonder if the time machine bathroom still works!

Sandra: Under no circumstance will we try the time traveling bathroom!

 

10, The Time Traveling Bathroom

 

Sandra: I am going to regret this

Alex: 1920’s sounds great!

Atchy: FUTURE ATCHY HAS BEARD

Tokie: Guys, I wanna see Atchy with a beard

Sandra: So the future or past? 

Tokie: It doesn’t matter I guess, because we’ll see both either way!

Alex: Hells yeah

Sandra: Alright, future it is! 3, 2, 1 ------

 

THE GIRLS KNIGHT

 

11, Credits + Time Travel Pics

 

While the credits are going, I think I should incorporate some pics of Tokie, Sandra, Alex and Atchy all throughout history. Could be a funny little thing to show off while credits are being shown.

12, The End
