Detention Deficit - Episode Three 'Gas Leak' Script

Pier and Sonny walk in, arguing

Pier: Why are you always getting at me? You're always around me. Where is the pen? Vince! (Pause) You're always, like, getting at me. I just cant stand it, the one time...

Sonny: (Interrupts) Well, think of a desent plan then and i'll stop getting at you.

Pier: I just cant think of a plan, like, what the hell? (Looks at Keith, sitting across table)

Sonny: You're such a vegetarian.

Shot of Keith looking really 'out of it'. Sonny and Pier stare at him, unable to figure out whats up with him. Vince goes to see if he's okay.

Vince: What seems to be the matter Keith?

Keith: I have eaten a rare Amazonian coffee bean. (Talks in voice reminiscent of computer voice such as Microsoft Sam. Sticks head up while talking and then continues looking around the room)

Vince: Aah, I see where you're going.

Shot of Vince is from Keith's perspective. Everything is colourful, wavy and 'morphing'.

Sonny: What are you two talking about?

Pier: Yeah, what are you two talking about?

Vince and Keith are talking in gibberish and Sonny and Pier can't make out what they are saying.

Sonny: Am I missing something here?

Pier and Sonny look confused at eachother and then continue looking at Vince and Keith. Damien walks through the door

Damien: Alright guys?

Keith: Aah, Cheif! (Rubs face paint on his face to look like a red indian. The face paint magically appears with no explanation of why it is there) Get this spirit out of me!

The next shot is of Damien but he looks like cheif from 'One Flew Over the Kookoo's Nest'

Fade Out

The next scene is where everyone is forming around Keith. Keith is lying on the table in the middle of the class chanting something. Damien transorms into cheif again. Pier is sitting on a table with sonny lying on him.

Pier: Sonny, do you remember the other day, when, when we were locked in the classroom and I tried to get out the door, and you...

Sonny interrupts, friendly, laughing

Sonny: I smashed your head, I smashed your head!

Pier, laughing too

Pier: You smashed my head!

Sonny and Pier laugh hysterically

Next scene everyone is dancing round Keith like a ritual is being performed. All of the characters have changed their appearance. Clothes torn, swapped clothes etc.

After a while a teacher walks in the door looking worried

Teacher: Oh my God, are you alright!? I can't believe you're still alive.

Everyone stops dancing and everyone looks normal again though their appearance is the same. They look a mess.

Teacher: There's been a massive gas leak...

Pier and Keith collapse due to the gas they've been breathing in.

Fade Out
