Maiden - "Oh. Well ... we're all different of course and our whatevers are usually about that. Usually we leave to go mate and
then return but I'm really ... I'm just not interested in that right now. But sometimes we rebel. And then we hunt them."
Buda - "Hunt them ?"
Maiden - "Yes. The circle cannot be broken. That's what I want to do. I want to break it. They think it's to mate so I'll just come back when I kill him, but I lied."
Buda - "You lied to the fates."
Maiden - "Well only two out of three ..."Buda - "And they're going to hunt us when they find out."
Maiden - Excited, "Yes ! All the gods shall hunt us. The ones that are left anyway. It could have been worse but That's why I found you !"
Buda - A sigh. "We need food."
Maiden - "I said that."
________
Felicia drags from the schoolbus noise again, into the house while the Karen neighbor with the
tiny dog watches, slowly raising her phone.
The Princess
Gunship drops from the sky, crushing her leaving the dog pulling on the
chain before the eyes go wide at the sound of the ramp opening.
________
Inside, Felicia to Grandma Great on the computer. In the back ground, granpa tells a story to some 'old Italian Gentlemen'.
Man
- "And so I stuck 'im. Real slow. Slid right in and left it there
... and then I flicked the handle.
Just one time." Small agreement and nods. "And I stuck 'im again.
And I wiggled it a bit. Like maybe it was stuck on a rib !"
Some
laughs and
clinked glasses.
Man - "And then I gave a turn ... know
what I mean. Didn't like the fella. So I pried some rib." A single cheer and some nods of
understanding.
"And then ..." He leans in, they lean in ... "And then ... I shot him."
Breaks the tension with a "Whoo !" and a shot in the air, followed by a hail of cheers and Tommys.
Grandma - Turning back to the screen, "Oooo I was there for that one ... bitch did have that coming."
Felicia - ... "No doubt." Distracted by the doorbell ... "Hang on."
__
She opens the door, looks up, eyes go wide.

Felicia - Running past the screen, "Aliens !" Runs past again, "Help !" Again now chased past by two aliens saying 'Whoop whoop whoop' and Evil with a baseball bat shrieking "Where is the Nocturnal One !?"
( ... and they all bop side to side in their cars ... )
Mom drives while dad loads a shotgun, brother checks the slingshot.
Behind the man drives while the maiden loads, Mafioso in the back seat, all as old as the tale. Long lines of black cars filled with more file from the flowered Sicilian alleyways. Stock film noir footage of long alleyways and shootings seen through the cars' windows.
The maiden dials her cell.
~ house chase, the windows are boarded.
A
man's eyes go wide in Mexico, pockets his phone, lights a blunt.
Armored
SUV's with gun strapped men on the sides, followed by a white Toyota
pickup truck with anti-air in the back (IYKYK). Footage through the
windows of horseback charges from period Mexican
westerns.
The lead car's passenger (blunt guy) dials his cell.
~ house chase, the doors are locked.
A man's eyes go wide in LA. Low-riders bounce through the streets.
~ An alien takes a skillet to the face.
The front car from LA splashes its front into the water.
Dots
on the map converging (it's not realistically timed). Stock footage of
battleship formations and vacation sailing. Her mother's enraged eyes
as she drives skidding water from the sides ...
The front door to the house blows open from the outside, Felicia runs out screaming ~
Felicia - "Aliens ! Help ! It's too fucking much !"
She runs past the crowd while they stare after ...
The
all turn back and draw on the house, opening fire for a very long time until
rubble. Evil stands hunched breathing hard, glaring, trembling with rage, baseball bat splintered. An alien pauses
bandaging skillet face. He shakes his head slowly, taps his wrist-comp, whistles and points for them
to turn around.
They do.
The
Princess Gunship hovers pointed over them, barrel the size of the entire cul-de-sac. They turn back to Evil and
the Aliens ( ... is that a band ?), they're gone.
Back to ship.
Gone with a gust
They
curse and throw down their guns ... as they start to disperse and mingle,
Felicia's mother spots Agent Geneva looking inconspicuous among the
crowd and approaches.
AG - Shitty grin, "Ah ... if it isn't 'Miss ... "
She punches through his face holding a chunk of his brain behind him.
~ Crowd response ...
She pulls it back through as he drops.
~ Crowd response ...
She peers into the mass in her clenched grip ...
Mother - "Stay the Hell away from my daughter." Crushes it.
~ Crowd ... responding and then walking away now.
Felicia - "Here ya go Grandma Great." She hands her five bucks. "Happy birthday."
Maiden - "Ha ! I'm gonna go buy some candy. Right now. Wanna come along ... ?"
Felicia - Smiles, "Yeah."
