Scenes with Alex 40

Alex

[Preparing to bury Greg whose body is in a wheelchair] Do you want to say a few words?

Er... thanks for the memories. [Dumps Greg's body into hole who groans awake with Rudy whacking Greg with shovel and falling back onto dirt heap] What are you doing?!

I'm fucking panicking, aren't I, Finn?!

Alex

Jesus! So you didn't check for a pulse, then?!

I'm not a doctor!

Dude, get in the fucking hole and check for a pulse!

[Jumps into hole then calls phone] Jess? I found the situation.

Where are you?

I'm sitting on the situation.

What situation are you talking about?

The probation worker situation.

The Abby situation. What's the probation worker situation?

He tried to fuck me. So I accidentally killed him. At least, I thought I'd killed him, but then Rudy hit him with a spade, so now... he might actually be dead. [Greg groans awake] No, he isn't! He's alive! He's alive again! What's the Abby situation?

She's taken an overdose.

Well, is she okay?

She's alive.

Right, good. Well, that's a start. Er...

You take care of that situation and we'll take care of this situation.

Okay, good, yeah. Yeah.

Er... Bye!

Bye. [Hangs up]

[Brings up Abbey] Okay. [Pokes Abbey's mouth who vomits]

ARAged Rudy Two

[To Jess] Always liked you. It's raining. Your hair's so pretty... when it's wet. [Feels her hair]

Jesus Christ. The man's a fucking vegetable.

I tell you what's happened here. The storm. This will be something to do with the storm.

Alex

Really?

Yeah.

Alex

You think so?

Mm-hm.

Alex

Well, thanks for the heads-up, [[w:Miss Marple|Miss Marple.

Maybe it's something to do with that superpower support group he's been going to.

So, what does he need with a support group, anyway?

[Holds up tortoise] Um... Alex, will you do me a quick favour? Will you fuck my tortoise?

Alex

Um... just give me a minute to think about... that. Er... actually, I don't need a full minute. It's a no.

It's a man and his name's Mark. He's trapped in here and he can't get out.

Alex

That is really tragic.

Mm.

Alex

But I'm still not fucking your tortoise.

You have no idea, do you? I found out what my power is and it's totally useless. There's nothing I can do to help anyone. But you... you can make a difference. You're the only one out of us who can actually change people's lives. And what are you doing about it? Nothing. It's just sat there in your pants. Use your power, Alex. Help people. Be a superhero. Fuck the tortoise, Alex.

Alex

So how does this girl's power work?

Well, I don't know. Her mate seems to think it's something to do with computers and freakin' insert yourself into people. I don't really understand it, but she has got our little monkey man, and I for one will not let him be experimented on. Unless she's dressing him up, man, like one of them chimps in the PG Tips adverts, then colour me amused.

What did Finn say, has he found out about us?

No, he thinks I've killed a baby seal.

Alex

Well look, guys, all of this stuff, it's gonna be something to do with the storm, isn't it?

Who's this fucking guy, man? Clever and handsome, it's unbelievable.

Alex

[Walks out with Sarah sighing onto lakesides promenade] Relax. I am... I am not following you. I just came to get some air. Is that? Is that all right?

Be my guest. [Alex walks up to her] Sorry about the other day. It's just this year has been... a fucking nightmare, the power thing. I had to stop seeing my dad. He just couldn't stop staring at them.

Alex

Oh, shit, mate! Oh, I didn't even think about that! Nobody needs their dad staring at their tits, do they?

No.

Alex

D'you wanna go and get a drink?

What kind of a drink? Like a date drink, or a drink drink?

Alex

Well, I was just thinking... a drink with alcohol in.

All right. But it isn't a date.

All right, fine. It's not a date.

Alex

My mate... he got turned into an agent of Satan and I had to fuck him in the arse.

Oh, nice!

Alex

Yeah. Oh, and I almost, almost shagged a tortoise once.

So, you do draw the line at shagging animals? Good to know.

Alex

Er, so, you, are you... seeing anyone... at the moment, or?

Well, when I had my power, it was kinda hard to tell the good guys from the wankers and there have been a lot of wankers.

Alex

Yeah.

[Unbuttons her sweater] Problem?

Alex

Oh, God! Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! Er, it's just now that I know I'm not supposed to look at them... all I want to do is look at them. You know when you see a dead cat in the road and you don't want to look at it but then the more that you try and stop yourself, the more that you can't help it?

Okay. Well, urn, how about I give you one free look, then? Seeing as you took my power.

Alex

That would... That would be great.

Happy now?

Alex

Awesome. So shall I compliment you on them?

Let's just leave the tits, shall we? [Gets her drink] Same again? [Walks away]

Alex

Hm. Hm...

MMark

[Walking alongside Abbey] So, this is what you're doing while I'm in your locker eating lettuce.

More or less. [Enters locker room] No, let's check the, er... [sees Sarah in front of her, to Mark] Don't listen to her Latin, don't look at her tits. [To Sarah] Your devil tits don't work on me. I'm a girl.

Guess I'm just gonna have to turn your boyfriend inside out, then. [Turns Mark into a skinless corpse] Now I've got your full attention... Ecce satanas meo, sicut ego et ipse regnabit Dominus...

Alex

[Appears behind Sarah] So this has been a pretty weird date. [She turns around] Not that it's a date.

[Finn and Rudy enter] Leave him. He's mine. What's the matter, Alex? Don't you trust yourself? What's going to happen if you... have a little look? It's just a pair of tits. And you're one of the good guys, remember? You're not some weak, pathetic animal who's ruled by his urges.

Alex

There was a girl I used to know. Emma. She was like you. She was a good person who just got the wrong power. She was accident prone. Wasn't her fault. It was just bad things used to happen to her. I'm so sorry, Sarah. You didn't deserve any of this.

Oh... I get it. I'm supposed to slip on the banana skin. Any other bright ideas? [Ceiling fluorescent light bar becomes disattached and comes down on her head] Agh!

I like the idea of being a nurse. Or a shepherd.

Alex

What qualifications do you need to be a shepherd?

You need a crop. Well-trained border collie, and a profound love of sheep, love.

Alex

I'll tell you where I'm not gonna be in a year's time, and that is working behind a bar.

I, for one, will be enjoying my life [pulls out a scratch card out of his pocket] as a multi-millionaire!

[Walks in wearing pajamas] Do you know, what I was doing, when you so... rudely interrupted me?

Alex

I'm guessing it wasn't showering?

I was 19. And a half hours into a Murder She Wrote marathon.

Jess is back.

Where is she?

Alex

She's in the shitter. She said something about some bloke who's thrown her forward through time. [Rudy is sobbing]

You okay?

[Crying] I'm fine. I'm fine. So, the worm's returned, [moving his finger like a worm] with her fucking bushy tail between her legs. It's too late, guys. It's too late. Because I've forgot about her very existence. [Crying again] She's back! Jessica's back. Oh, man. [Collapses on the floor crying]

Alex

[Rudy still on the floor crying] Is he having a mental breakdown?

Rudy?

Oh, Jess.

You look like shit.

It's been a bit of a rough year. My vigorous grooming and personal hygiene regime might have... slipped, just a bit.

Here's to the future.

Oh, about the future, I've just been.

Am I a shepherd?!

Erm... You are holding a golf sale sign, for a golf sale that doesn't exist. [Points at Alex] You're still working behind the bar. [Looks at Finn] And you are a trainee probation worker.

Fuck off!

Honest- Shame on you, Finley! Deep humiliating shame. [Back to Jess] I'm a multimillionaire, aren't I? [she starts to speak] Got 'em! No, no, no, don't tell me. Don't tell me, I want it to be a surprise. Wink twice, for yes.

You win a quid, piss yourself and then you get electrocuted.

Colour me disappointed.

I'm just saying, unless we want to spend the rest of our lives as these underachieving fuck-ups, then maybe we should think about actually doing something with our powers.

What you mean, like, open up a fast food restaurant?

No, I mean like becoming proper superheroes. Good ones that do good shit.

Alex

Superheroes, I'm up for that.

I might have to make a few modifications. Just on me costume... just on account of me- I've got irritable bowel syndrome. And shitting in lycra is how I got banned from the gym.

No offence, but you lot... Superheroes? Fuck it! All right, yeah, let's do it.

This could be the start of something huge. I can feel it in me nut sack.
