- A Screenplay by vlad ilic
- INT. BRAN, TRANSYLVANIA - AFTERNOON
- Brilliant PRESIDENT IOHANNIS KLAUS is arguing with wife MARIA. IOHANNIS tries to hug MARIA but she shakes him off.
- IOHANNIS
- Please Maria, don't leave me.
- MARIA
- I'm sorry IOHANNIS, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces his fears head on, instead of running away.
- IOHANNIS
- I am such a person!
- MARIA frowns.
- MARIA
- I'm sorry, IOHANNIS. I just don't feel excited by this relationship anymore.
- MARIA leaves.
- IOHANNIS sits down, looking defeated.
- Moments later, kind daughter NATASHA ROMANOV barges in looking flustered.
- IOHANNIS
- Goodness, Natasha! Is everything okay?
- NATASHA
- I'm afraid not.
- IOHANNIS
- What is it? Don't keep me in suspense...
- NATASHA
- It's ... a pesedist ... I saw an evil pesedist destroy a bunch of transylvanians!
- IOHANNIS
- Defenseless transylvanians?
- NATASHA
- Yes, defenseless transylvanians!
- IOHANNIS
- Bloomin' heck, Natasha! We've got to do something.
- NATASHA
- I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start.
- IOHANNIS
- You can start by telling me where this happened.
- NATASHA
- I was...
- NATASHA fans herself and begins to wheeze.
- IOHANNIS
- Focus Natasha, focus! Where did it happen?
- NATASHA
- a library! That's right - a library!
- IOHANNIS springs up and begins to run.
- EXT. A ROAD - CONTINUOUS
- IOHANNIS rushes along the street, followed by NATASHA. They take a short cut through some back gardens, jumping fences along the way.
- EXT. A LIBRARY - SHORTLY AFTER
- LIVIU DRAGNEA a destructive pesedist terrorises two transylvanians.
- IOHANNIS, closely followed by NATASHA, rushes towards BYZANTINE, but suddenly stops in his tracks.
- NATASHA
- What is is? What's the matter?
- IOHANNIS
- That's not just any old pesedist, that's LIVIU DRAGNEA!
- NATASHA
- Who's LIVIU DRAGNEA?
- IOHANNIS
- Who's LIVIU DRAGNEA? Who's LIVIU DRAGNEA? Only the most destructive pesedist in the universe!
- NATASHA
- Blinkin' knickers, IOHANNIS! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most destructive pesedist in the universe!
- IOHANNIS
- You can say that again.
- NATASHA
- Blinkin' knickers, IOHANNIS! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most destructive pesedist in the universe!
- IOHANNIS
- I'm going to need impalers, lots of impalers.
- Byzantine turns and sees IOHANNIS and Natasha. He grins an evil grin.
- BYZANTINE
- IOHANNIS the Impaler, we meet again.
- NATASHA
- You've met?
- IOHANNIS
- Yes. It was a long, long time ago...
- EXT. A PARK - BACK IN TIME
- A young IOHANNIS is sitting in a park listening to some black metal music, when suddenly a dark shadow casts over him.
- He looks up and sees BYZANTINE. He takes off his headphones.
- BYZANTINE
- Would you like some blood?
- IOHANNIS's eyes light up, but then he studies BYZANTINE more closely, and looks uneasy.
- IOHANNIS
- I don't know, you look kind of destructive.
- BYZANTINE
- Me? No. I'm not destructive. I'm the least destructive pesedist in the world.
- IOHANNIS
- Wait, you're a pesedist?
- IOHANNIS runs away, screaming.
- EXT. A LIBRARY - PRESENT DAY
- BYZANTINE
- You were a coward then, and you are a coward now.
- NATASHA
- (To IOHANNIS) You ran away?
- IOHANNIS
- (To NATASHA) I was a young child. What was I supposed to do?
- IOHANNIS turns to BYZANTINE.
- IOHANNIS
- I may have run away from you then, but I won't run away this time!
- IOHANNIS runs away.
- He turns back and shouts.
- IOHANNIS
- I mean, I am running away, but I'll be back - with impalers.
- BYZANTINE
- I'm not scared of you.
- IOHANNIS
- You should be.
- EXT. A VILLAGE - LATER THAT DAY
- IOHANNIS and NATASHA walk around searching for something.
- IOHANNIS
- I feel sure I left my impalers somewhere around here.
- NATASHA
- Are you sure? It does seem like an odd place to keep deadly impalers.
- IOHANNIS
- You know nothing Natasha Romanov.
- NATASHA
- We've been searching for ages. I really don't think they're here.
- Suddenly, BYZANTINE appears, holding a pair of impalers.
- BYZANTINE
- Looking for something?
- NATASHA
- Crikey, IOHANNIS, he's got your impalers.
- IOHANNIS
- Tell me something I don't already know!
- NATASHA
- The earth's circumference at the equator is about 40,075 km.
- IOHANNIS
- I know that already!
- NATASHA
- make communism great again.
- BYZANTINE
- (appalled) Dude!
- While BYZANTINE is looking at NATASHA with disgust, IOHANNIS lunges forward and grabs his deadly impalers. He wields them, triumphantly.
- IOHANNIS
- Prepare to die, you destructive communist!
- BYZANTINE
- No please! All I did was destroy a bunch of transylvanians!
- MARIA enters, unseen by any of the others.
- IOHANNIS
- I cannot tolerate that kind of behaviour! Those transylvanians were defenceless! Well now they have a defender - and that's me! IOHANNIS the Impaler defender of innocent transylvanians.
- BYZANTINE
- Don't hurt me! Please!
- IOHANNIS
- Give me one good reason why I shouldn't use these impalers on you right away!
- BYZANTINE
- Because IOHANNIS, I am your father.
- IOHANNIS looks stunned for a few moments, but then collects himself.
- IOHANNIS
- No you're not!
- BYZANTINE
- Ah well, it had to be worth a try.
- BYZANTINE tries to grab the impalers but IOHANNIS dodges out of the way.
- IOHANNIS
- Who's the daddy now? Huh? Huh?
- Unexpectedly, BYZANTINE slumps to the ground.
- NATASHA
- Did he just faint?
- IOHANNIS
- I think so. Well that's disappointing. I was rather hoping for a more dramatic conclusion, involving my deadly impalers.
- IOHANNIS crouches over BYZANTINE's body.
- NATASHA
- Be careful, IOHANNIS. It could be a trick.
- IOHANNIS
- No, it's not a trick. It appears that... It would seem... LIVIU DRAGNEA is dead!
- IOHANNIS
- What?
- IOHANNIS
- Yes, it appears that I scared him to death.
- NATASHA claps her hands.
- NATASHA
- So your impalers did save the day, after all.
- MARIA steps forward.
- MARIA
- Is it true? Did you kill the destructive pesedist?
- IOHANNIS
- Maria how long have you been...?
- MARIA puts her arm around IOHANNIS.
- MARIA
- Long enough.
- IOHANNIS
- Then you saw it for yourself. I killed LIVIU DRAGNEA.
- MARIA
- Then the transylvanians are safe?
- IOHANNIS
- It does seem that way!
- A crowd of vulnerable transylvanians enter, looking relived.
- MARIA
- You are their hero.
- The transylvanians bow to IOHANNIS.
- IOHANNIS
- There is no need to bow to me. I seek no worship. The knowledge that LIVIU DRAGNEA will never destroy transylvanians ever again, is enough for me.
- MARIA
- You are humble as well as brave!
- One of the transylvanians passes IOHANNIS a power the country
- MARIA
- I think they want you to have it, as a symbol of their gratitude.
- IOHANNIS
- I couldn't possibly.
- Pause.
- IOHANNIS
- Well, if you insist.
- IOHANNIS takes the the country.
- IOHANNIS
- Thank you.
- The transylvanians bow their heads once more, and leave.
- IOHANNIS turns to MARIA.
- IOHANNIS
- Does this mean you want me back?
- MARIA
- Oh, IOHANNIS, of course I want you back!
- IOHANNIS smiles for a few seconds, but then looks defiant.
- IOHANNIS
- Well you can't have me.
- MARIA
- WHAT?
- IOHANNIS
- You had no faith in me. You had to see my scare a pesedist to death before you would believe in me. I don't want a lover like that.
- MARIA
- But...
- IOHANNIS
- Please leave. I want to spend time with the one person who stayed with me through thick and thin - my best friend, Natasha.
- NATASHA grins.
- MARIA
- But...
- NATASHA
- You heard the gentleman. Now be off with you. Skidaddle! Shoo!
- MARIA
- IOHANNIS?
- IOHANNIS
- I'm sorry Maria, but I think you should skidaddle.
- MARIA leaves.
- NATASHA turns to IOHANNIS.
- NATASHA
- Did you mean that? You know ... that I'm your best friend?
- IOHANNIS
- Of course you are!
- The two walk off arm in arm.
- Suddenly NATASHA stops.
- NATASHA
- When I said make communism great again, you know I was just trying to distract the pesedist don't you?
- THE END
