transcribed: sleep_maps


ext. desert setting.  fitz, skillet, golden joe, and peanut cop are walking in the desert.

FITZ: seems like we walked for years.  right out of that city that was suddenly not on fire anymore from being on fire earlier.  with flames.  a few hours in joe got taken by a bird.

golden joe is carried off by a screeching bird.

FITZ: claws digging into his giant green head.  screamed the whole way up until his head disappeared.
GOLDEN JOE: hey put my ass down you damn feathered bastard.
FITZ: it was nuts.  *laying down by a campfire at night* that night when we were bedding down, there was a sudden flash of light.

peanut cop disappears in a flash of light.  Skillet and fitz approach where peanut cop was.

FITZ: peanut was gone.  turned around he was just gone.  not even a burn mark
SKILLET: *screams*
FITZ: is this new angel?  what the hell is new angel anyhow?

daytime, skillet and fitz walking in the desert.

FITZ: skillet and i kept going.  we had to get somewhere for some reason.  my mouth was cotton, my teeth hadn't been anywhere but...in my head the whole time.  then there was this desert.  i came upon and looked at skillet and said 'here is this desert.'

a small sand creature approaches fitz and skillet and buries itself in the sand.  fitz looks into the hole, but is sprayed by a green substance coming out of the hole.

FITZ: in the desert, things can be tricky.

a bird perched on a cactus is suddenly taken apart by arms that look like the tiebots scissor hands that came from the cactus.  the bird head sprouts spider-like legs and walks away.

FITZ: especially this desert.

a wolf howls and the sun sets as a house is seen in the distance.

FITZ: the nights are randomly short here.  kinda messes up your sleeping.  but not so much your drinking.  they built this house with their own spit.  spit in the sand day and night until we had enough mud to make a house...that looks like this.  it ain't much on the outside, but it's even more in the inside.

door to the house opens and bottles are thrown out of the door.

FITZ: that's why i've been drinking this medicine.  to get drunk and hopefully stay that way for as long as i can.  i'm into setting records.  at least for now.

spanish guitar begins playing.  fitz takes his bottle he was drinking, throws it up, and shoots it.

FITZ: what i strongly need is a car to drive.  and a city to drive it in.
SKILLET: *squeaks*

skillet throws another bottle to fitz and fitz starts drinking again.

FITZ: and that's when she showed up.  or it.  or whatever he was.

fitz throws up and shoots another bottle.  he pulls another one out when it is shot out of his hand.  by an unknown force.  skillet and fitz trade fire with the unknown assailant.  a grenade lands by fitz.  it explodes and fitz is sent flying, guns still firing.

FITZ: i'll tell you what's cool right now is a gun that never runs out of ammo.  suddenly i remembered, oh, we have a force field.

a shield goes up around fitz and skillet.  the sombrero gets caught and starts burning up inside the field as skillet is frantically running around.  fitz knocks it off his head and skillet puts out the fire.  the gun woman appears, holsters her guns, and approaches fitz and skillet.

GUN WOMAN: howdy partner.  is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
FITZ: no, it's a gun.
GUN WOMAN: well, aren't we a wild and untamed thing?
FITZ: what do you want with us?
GUN WOMAN: i'm not, tired, and my throat needs quenching.
FITZ: well, there's a lake about 60 miles back and i'm sure that ice cream will be flying fast and furious and-
GUN WOMAN: that town is so gone honey.  i mean you wanna talk about light my fire for the queen sissy?  i've never blown a job in my life.
FITZ: i've seen plenty of people blow a job.
GUN WOMAN: cinnamon couldn't handle it.  square guy had her on the vine.  but brandy and breezy and butterfly, they got out.  they found the new angel.
FITZ: skillet, lower the force field
skillet: *squeaks in disapproval*
FITZ: do it.  she's okay.

int. house.  fitz and gun woman are drinking on the lower floor.  skillet is upstairs.  fitz is drinking and then throws a boomerang.  skillet squeaks.  the boomerang returns.

FITZ: what's your name?
GUN WOMAN: it's leigh.  i had heaven in front of it, so you know what that means when you put them together.

skillet pulls out a sniper rifle and aims it at lee.

FITZ: this is my lucky boomerang.
LEIGH: boom boom boom boomerang baby.
FITZ: got it from this indian we met in the desert.
LEIGH: hmm...you don't say.
FITZ: i do say.  i said it.  you up for eating some of this? *fitz pulls up a scorpion on a stick.

LEIGH: i have a present for you.  *pulls out a bag and hands it to fitz*
FITZ: what's this supposed to be for?
LEIGH: it's for you to give to me.

fitz pulls out a glowing silver bullet.

LEIGH: it's the only thing that will kill me.  now load it into your gun before i turn into the she wolf.

a shot of the house appears.
