FADE IN:
INT. CONTROL ROOM.
As we open, DOGGIE KRUGER (here a cardboard box man
labeled "Doggert Krugland") sits at his desk, inspecting his paper work
on his SCIENCE COMPUTER. He types on the pages.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Almost done, yet never complete. We shall all rise and fall like Sirius in the moonlight.
JACK enters in casual clothing.
JACK
Kruger.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Jack...it's you. But is it really you?
JACK
No.
Jack is no longer there.
Doggert returns to his paper work.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
B-Squad was never here, their presence only a black mercy that shrouded my hopes and dreams. My love.
FEMALE VOICE (O.S.)
Yet you always knew it was fake.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Half hearted gnosis, wrapped in a sesame seed bun of contrariwise.
Beat.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Please stay, Kat.
A FRAMED PICTURE OF CATHERINE SUTHERLAND jumps onto the desk.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
My Kat Ranger.
PICTURE OF CATHERINE SUTHERLAND
My Ranger. Why hide in the shadows?
Doggert picks up the picture, slowly rubbing it on
his face for what seems like an entire minute, but is actually three.
His tears are ambiguous.
He sets the picture down just as BRIDGE enters the
room, his hands covered in butter. He's terrified of himself, looking
at his hands.
BRIDGE
They made me do it. They made me do it.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
What you did was your own will, Bridge.
BRIDGE
...no...no...
Bridge sits on his knees.
BRIDGE
No.
PICTURE OF CATHERINE SUTHERLAND
His suffering is his only pleasure.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Let him breathe.
Doggert grabs Bridge, pulling him up.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Bridge.
BRIDGE
...Kruger?
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Let it be.
Bridge convulses, stepping over to the desk and
picking up Catherine. He breaks the glass from the frame and starts to
cry, cutting his face. He bleeds butter.
BRIDGE
I can see so much. I can see...
He turns and, in his point of view, Doggert's box is now a plastic container labeled "Kraglor Dogman." Inside is nothing.
BRIDGE
I see you, Kruger. I see your soul.
Bridge stumbles off.
BRIDGE
But see nothing all the same.
Doggert approaches a mirror, seeing his tupperware self.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
NOOOO!
He breaks the mirror and clumsily falls over.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Who are weeeee?
INT. MESS HALL.
SYD and Z are eating nothing at all despite the
movement of utensils and mouths. SKY, wearing a blue shirt, is sitting
next to Jack.
SKY
Make me me.
Sky rips off Jack's red shirt, causing Jack to disappear in a faint scream.
Bridge stumbles in, looking at Sky.
Z
I will be big.
SYD
Myspace.com.
Bridge tackles Sky onto the table and the two wrestle. Z and Syd do not acknowledge their existence.
Bridge slams Sky's head onto the table and Sky is
unconscious, bleeding butter out of the back of his head. As Bridge
consumes his body, which is suddenly made entirely of toast, Death Cab
for Cutie's "The Sound of Settling" plays for the duration of the
consumption.
Bridge stands, observing his two female co-officers.
SYD
Do you think you can keep going?
Z
Pleasure is the dark crescendo of nihilism.
Bridge stumbles zombie-like out of the room, holding Jack's red shirt.
INT. HALLWAY.
Bridge falls.
INT. CONTROL ROOM.
Doggert Krugland lays on the ground amongst broken glass for four minutes.
INT. HALLWAY.
Jack, now a ghost, attempts to steal Bridge's new red
shirt. Bridge turns and kicks Jack in the testicles, which do not exist
because he is a ghost.
JACK
WHAT IS A MAN?
Jack falls over, but makes no sound.
JACK
Why is a man?
Jack cries.
INT. CONTROL ROOM.
Doggert Krugland walks slowly toward the door. He knocks his head against the wall, having missed the door.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Why.
INT. HALLWAY.
Krugland walks and sees the weeping Jack ghost.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
You were my finest creation. And now here, on our last patrol, you fail me.
JACK
Forgive me, Kruger.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
I can't forgive you, because you're dead.
For a brief moment, Jack is ADOLF HITLER.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
As we were.
He starts walking.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
As we are.
INT. MESS HALL.
Doggert looks at Z and Syd.
Z
My life must have meaning.
SYD
Tumblr.
A STILL FRAME OF DOGGERT AND KATBERT MAYONAIX, LABELED.
KATBERT MAYONAIX
Do you believe in eternity?
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
I believe we must last forever.
KATBERT MAYONAIX
But do we?
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Yes.
INT. MESS HALL.
Doggert murders Z and Syd.
INT. CONTROL ROOM.
Bridge is sitting at the control panel wearing a Doggert Krugland head. He is typing science.
BRIDGE
More.
Krugland walks into the room.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Stop, Bridge, before you compartmentalize the ouroboros.
BRIDGE
It's morphin' time. Butter blaster turbo power.
Bridge stands up, wearing a red, blue, and green shirt. He touches his Doggert face.
BRIDGE
SPD Emergency.
Bridge shudders as he stands.
BRIDGE
SPD...Red...Blue...Green...
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
Bridge. No.
BRIDGE
Shadow...Omega...Nova...
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
You cannot contain them all.
BRIDGE
Deka...Gold...
Bridge collapses in a heap of dead colors. Seven seconds of "Glycerine" by Bush play.
Doggert sits on the ground.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
I have not mastered the dekas. I have mastered nothing. I have nothing.
He touches Bridge's dead body.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
I don't deserve any of you. I don't deserve love.
He turns and walks again, opening up a kitchen cabinet that is in the room. He pulls out a box of Lucky Charms cereal.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
WHY DID YOU LIVE FOR ME?
He angrily tears the box open, pouring the multi-colored cereal all over the floor. Screaming.
He trips all over the cereal, dropping the now empty box. He cries.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
ISINIAAAAA!
He crawls across the cereal, grabbing chunks of it and looking at them.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
I SEE YOUUUU.
He throws the cereal, crushing some under his hand. He finally makes it to the cereal box, staring it in the eyes.
DOGGERT KRUGLAND
WHY DID YOU COME BACK FOR ME?
He screams and, over the course of four minutes, slowly tears the box apart.
He weeps and we fade out.
END?
