BY JOHN HUTSON
Fade in:
1. EXT London Alley and TARDIS - DAY
The TARDIS doors swing open and a pretty boy, 1st year in college wearing mascara on one eye and a Chinese skirt, walks away whistling "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" The doors close behind him and he tiptoes around the far side of the TARDIS.
TARDIS Day
DOCTOR
She needs to rest up a bit.
Before we take off to, well
where do you want to go?
SUNNY
Alex asked me something I couldn't answer
DOCTOR
Alex? Didn't he leave?
SUNNY
He asked are there more bedrooms on
the TARDIS than in Downton Abbey.
DOCTOR
Yeah sure. Monster of maintenance
SUNNY
Isn't it lonely having
all those empty rooms?
DOCTOR
I never counted them.
Hence I've never been lonely.
opens tool closet
Baracles? Check
Headphones. Check
SUNNY
we never use them all
or even open the doors
DOCTOR
'stay smart looking.
He puts on his headphones
Heads under the deck
Sunny hangs her head over the edge so she can continue
SUNNY
Doctor, Alex wore my mascara
to mass.
Doctor doesn't respond.
Sunny reaches in and pulls back his left headphone
SUNNY
Alex wore my mascara yesterday
To mass.
DOCTOR
Who'd notice?
He's usually wearing a tight black
skirt..
SUNNY
That's because you understand..
DOCTOR
I don't really, but who in the 21st
century cares?
SUNNY
His Step-Mum. She locked him out.
(beat)
Can he?
(beat)
DOCTOR
London has those very cool tube hotels
SUNNY
Sits upright
Like he could afford that.
She picks up her backpack
DOCTOR
We've been to how many planets
and galaxies and never needed money..
SUNNY she stuffs her backpack with her laundry
We'll stay with my Mum
in the real world.
.
DOCTOR
He stops grinding and comes back up stairs
Whoa! Whoa! I've got Nano-bot dry
cleaning and bedrooms for
all friends of the TARDIS,
including Alex.
SUNNY
She hugs him
Can you show him a ride
To somewhere he fancies?
DOCTOR
Rides? I'm not a Carney with
a trick time machine.
We do serious stuff here
we defend the human race.
SUNNY
We picnicked at the beach on Trazdoor.
We saw the waterfall of diamonds on Poon
We..
DOCTOR
Okay. Your memory is infallible..
He can have one bedroom and one trip.
But remember he's your friend.
TARDIS-Day
Sunny
(runs out the doors, first she calls out toward the Alley)
Alexander ! Alexander!
(then goes 'round the backside of the TARDIS finds Alex. She shouts as if he's not there)
Come on back! Come on !
(quiet)We gotta wait a few seconds more…
Okay let's run in
Alexander and Sunny run back into the TARDIS
TARDIS Day
ALEXANDER
(salutes the Doctor)
You won't regret this..
DOCTOR
Of course not. Smart phone?
Alexander
Yeah (he hands it to the Doctor)
Doctor
Takes his phone. Zaps it with his sonic screwdriver
Fixed'. It won't work,
till we return to today.
Now I've work to complete.
Sunny has something to say.
he returns below
headphones off
SUNNY
The Doctor says you can sleep here
because he thinks you're
Important.
Doctor drops a tool
On his toe
Doctor
Wrong shoes.
He limps upstairs
SUNNY
And you can pick a
trip to anywhere you want.
My first trip I travelled
to 50 billion years in
the future and I
saw the earth explode.
DOCTOR
Ah stop bragging, you bawled
like a baby. (To Alex) You're into
history eh? gay studies. what about
meeting your namesake Alexander
the Great?
ALEXANDER
Isn't he really busy?
DOCTOR
All Great Men are really
Busy. Sunny, I'll be downstairs
Doctor leaves the deck
Alex opens his heart
ALEXANDER
I want to go where bluebirds fly.
SUNNY
Bluebirds?
Alex
My mom always played Judy Garland
it's in one of her songs.
I really get her. I feel like
I know her.
I want to meet her.
SUNNY
Really?
ALEXANDER
Is that too much?
SUNNY
Judy Garland
DOCTOR
Overhearing
back on deck
The singer? Judy Garland?
Humans have written
about her, to date 45 books
but there's a hundred more coming.
Why her?
ALEXANDER
Opens a notebook
Reads aloud
She knew you could never be happy.
You hear it in her voice,
she was ashamed of who she was
she dreamed Of finding a place she
fit in even if she was broken.
It's where bluebirds fly.
DOCTOR
Is this what they teach you
in Gay Studies?
My TARDIS sees all time and
space. There's no such place.
I'm sorry.
ALEXANDER
Closes the book.
She never found it either.
It's a state of mind.
And it's not gay studies, it's
What I wrote about her.
The book holds a picture of her large enough to autograph
SUNNY
You really get her.
ALEXANDER
I put words to it,
but they don't say it all..
Sunny holds Alex and rocks him
DOCTOR.
Walks to control console
…I'm catching coodies for the
first time in 900 years.
You want to hear her in concert
yes?
ALEXANDER
I don't want to be a spectator
I want to be part of her story.
Doctor
Really? Define "part of".
ALEXANDER
I've read her bios.
And it's really silly but where I
wish I could of been was her 5th
wedding reception.
DOCTOR
May I say that's a,
queer choice but a safe one.
The TARDIS is nearly refueled.
Let me pull up the location.
He searches banks of data
5. INT TARDIS DECK DAY
Sunny pulls Alex aside
ALEXANDER

It would change my life
To be there
SUNNY
Alex there may not be …
ALEXANDER
Then this is my chance

My Dear Judy our life will be hell.
General(grunts)
Excellent! Okay, Warrior Green

( A tank sized vehicle rises behind the ComPods. They embrace it enveloping it. Then change their outer shape into a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Convertible.. The final ComPod converts into a chauffeur, who opens the door for "Mickey" and then assumes his place behind the wheel)
LAB COMMANDER

Just add one thing Doctor,
A scatter pin or lipstick.
He hides both behind his back
Pick a hand.
SUNNY
Come on Doctor moon shoes.
THE DOCTOR

ALEXANDER
So posh
The set their champagne flutes on top of the booth, and Judy's 8x10 glossy. They get in and close the door. A digital display in red counts down 4-3-2-1-0 then there's the flash of light, in additional frequencies beyond human eyesight that stir the Doctor's curiosity. After 4 shots they all step out, the picture strip drops into the pocket, the Doctor retrieves it and hands it off to Sunny. He hides a second strip in his hand.
SUNNY
All you need is a microphone Mr. Glam Rock.
ALEXANDER
And you perhaps dressed for a funeral
high on peyote buttons. We are very
fresh. We're more than retro we're
"le dernier cri."
SUNNY
That's good. Right?
ALEXANDER
Very good. It's French for
"the last word in fashion."

Laughing Sunny and Alex race out of the booth to collect their shots MICKEY DEANS is standing there with two flutes of champagne.
MICKEY DEANS

She feels like family.
We just had to come.
MICKEY

Hands her glass to Alex and bear-hugs the doctor
You're Le Durn Ecrix
ALEXANDER
The END!
DOCTOR (interrupting)
Au contraire mon amis we're in the middle
of something.
He smiles with glee
SUNNY
I know that look. Usually it's
followed by lots and lots of running.
DOCTOR

ALEXANDER
Handsome Mickey just left us.
SUNNY
Something weird 'bout him.

ALEX
Holds onto a nearby table
His back to the dance floor.

SUNNY
But you came all this way.
ALEX

Terrible and stupid.
SUNNY

Alex shakes his head .
16. INT WOOD DANCE FLOOR QUALIGINO'S – DAY

Doctor
Why here?
19. INT HALLWAY NEAR WC WITH PUBLIC PHONES – DAY
The Doctor hastens out into the hallway Unseen by Mickey who's concentrating on holding the headset of a rotary phone slightly above its' cradle. It's emitting fast beeping tones rather than rotary dial clicks. Mickey hangs up when the tones cease.. JUDY comes out of the women's room.

She hands him back the photo and the marker
And takes Mickey's arm and goes on
Alexander
That's not right.
DAY STREET NEAR QUAGLIANO - DAY
The chauffeur gets a nod from Mickey. The Silver Shadow passes by the Doctor's perception filter, revealing flying ComPods carrying a time capsule. The Silver Shadow stops to pick up Mickey and Judy. Waving good-bye to the small crowd throwing rice, Judy waves madly back, she throws the bouquet, it falls onto wet pavement.. Turning the corner Mickey and Judy pass out of sight.

Bunker for weathering attacks..
Presidents tunnel connects to his Bedroom
Busy man.
The doctor buzzes the screen with his sonic again

The Doctor buzzes the screen again
Let's drill down and see
Who's staying over…
Plenty of heat signatures working
On the midnight shift.
ACCESS DENIED flashes over the screen
. OTHER UNDERGROUND TUNNELS
The doctor using his sonic for light, runs down one tunnel then turns a corner and runs down another till he finally comes to his destination a set of rungs to the laboratory above. He climbs them quietly. He pushes up the grate and peers in. He sees a 7 foot long, unconscious cephalopod, on a gurney, being pushed forward into the next room.
There are rows of Cephalopods on other gurneys.
No one notices him so he lifts himself out of the tunnel and crawls on the floor behind shelving and into the next room. It is a lofty room, the gurney has been hooked onto a chain in the floor that pulls the Cephalopod through an assembly process. Two male nurses hold the Ceph. steady. A man with a drill press punches a hole in the top of its' skull.
49. INT SPA MEDICAL CLINIC – BRIGHT LIGHT ON WHEELS FOR EXAMINATION
Judy's album covers are hung on one wall, from 2007 back to 1956
Judy's Movie posters (43) fill the other walls.
Doctors are working around an unconscious, pitiable Garland.
Machines beep pleasant tones.
DR. YOUG
Gives instructions to the teams
Mind wipe back from 47 to 23.
Be careful not to erase those
songs she learned after 23.
ANASTHEIOLOGIST
Yes sir.
CONVERSION AREA
At the next station they remove the brain and throw it, the skin and bone in a bucket, then file the skull hole edges till they're smooth. The Ceph's pulled to the next station where man fits a shiny metal computer the size of a heart in the punched hole of the skull, looks like an organ grinders monkeys hat made of stainless steel.
51. INT. MEDICAL SPA
Perusing her photos
DR YOUG
Chemists,restore her kidney functions,
lung functions all of it. I want them
functioning like she's 23 year olds.

Muscles and Skelton Team
Consider it done, Sir!
56. COMPOD CONVERSION AREA
They are now ComPods. Men at the end of the assembly line, check the electrical connections between body and controller, running a few tests controlling the tentacles. When they are satisfied they then lift the Ceph onto a hook, that lifts it like hanging laundry into a large storage container. The ComPod fills the Container with 49 others before him, they close and lock the door, and ring a buzzer. We hear the buzz of a forklift coming to pick up the container.
57. INT. MEDICAL SPA
Like in the old movies the white coated men and women
Converge on Judy to block the cameras view.
Time Lapse of a few moments.
The white coats part left and right away from the gurney
as the rejuvenated Judy rises like the studio star she was.
Judy looks fabulous. ( Megan Tilty )
DR Youg and all the specialists clap madly with their success.
In walks her new costume girl holding up an old iron, a cigarette in her mouth, who crooks her head "This way"
Dr.'s continue clapping, they chant " A Star is Born!"
JUDY
Good bye ! Good Bye! (Blows them kisses)
She drops the love and smiles
As soon as they turn the corner of the hallway.
JUDY
Are those Menthol?
WARHOUSE NIGHT. DARK LIGHTS OUT
Dr Who stands up far from the conversion room, outside of the light more than halfway back among the containers
He plays his flashlights over the floor and passages and sees peeping out of a small niche, the corner of the Photo-booth. He runs to it finds it soaking wet, empty and without blood stains. His light follows the draining water, to a grate in the floor right near the Photo-Booth, he kneels down and finds Alex's Mascara bottle….
DOCTOR
That's my girls.
And he scampers down the grate into the tunnels.
59. INT CADET CEPHALOPODS BARRACKS.
SUNNY (arms above)
We're friendly, no weapons see,
We come in peace.
CEPHALOPODS (mimicking Sunny)
"We come in peace".
Boys laugh, girls giggle with their success at imitation.
ALEXANDER AND SUNNY
Laugh nervously, worried?
CEPHALOPODS
Copy their nervous laughter.
A Female Cephalopod flows to the front and studies Sunny. Then morphs into a perfect physical copy of Sunny. Sunny is speechless.
A male counterpart rides up, studies Alexander. Then Morphs into a perfect physical copy of Alexander.
ALEXANDER
(looking unhappily at the copy)
Sunny, do I look
SUNNY
Don't ask me if you look fat..
Sunny's last sentence is repeated by the room full of cadets.
Don't ask me if you look fat..
They giggle again
Sunny and Alexander lower their arms
Throughout the barracks Cephalopods morph into Sunny's or Alexander's till the barracks brims with copies.
Except one, who doesn't join in the fun and swims through the air panicking
BRAT CADET

flees out the door
ALEX'S 1ST CEPHALOPOD COPY
He must have been a hall monitor in high school.
The cephalopods giggle
SUNNY
Where do we hide hundreds of us?
ALL SUNNY'S COPIES
Where do we hide hundreds of us?
Sunny scans the room, lots of windows with glass and through them she sees hallway lights turning on as someone or something marches toward them.
SUNNNY
Incoming!
The cephalopods see the hall light too and swim back to their beds. Transforming back to their original form. But the first two that copied Sunny and Alexander wrap their tentacles around them till they are totally hidden.. They morph more tentacles onto their own bodies and look totally like normal cephalopods, and glide back their beds before the SUPERIOR CEPHALOPODS enters the room and questions the young cadets.
CEPHALOPOD SUPERIOR
I'm told two aliens visited here.
CADETS
Yes Sir.
CEPHALOPOD SUPERIOR
Where did they come from?
CADETS (one answers quickly)
The Warehouse.
(the hundred of other Cadets then echo "The Warehouse".)
CEPHALOPOD SUPERIOR (to Brat Cadet)
Where did they go?
BRAT CADET
I was with you Sir.
TEN CADETS (speak first)
The Warehouse.
CEPHALOPOD SUPERIOR
Show me what they look like.
Every cadet turns into their Alexander or Sunny in glam rock outfits.
CEPHALOPOD SUPERIOR
They'll be hard to miss. Tomorrow
I will have a contest
For you. Whomever
captures them will be
first in line for the honor
of becoming A Senior.
He snaps off the light as he leaves. They return to floating sleep

left.

Go through there?

COLONEL
Vat grown needed lots of
tweaking. None of them could
manipulate..totally lacked the
instinct for survival.
GENERAL
Then where the heck did you find them?
COLONEL
We took them from the reservations.
Every age, including the puppies.
Just made quota. Convinced their
Elders it was an Honor to be
included as equals in human Affairs.
GENERAL
As if.
COLONEL
As if.
GENERAL
We'll go to plan A
It's inevitable.
COLONEL
Was there a Plan B?
GENERAL
Yeah. A crazy idea of the president's
To make his homosexual opponent
unpopular. It's been expensive
but a very effective distraction
from what we're really doing..

These holograms are only
meant to scare us from proceeding.
ALEXANDER (V.O.)
Oh like redecorating your house
To scare the kiddies at Halloween.
CENTRAL CONVERSION ROOMS
The Cadets hold Sunny and Alexander tighter. The conversion procedure is going on underneath them. They hug the walls and "are" the walls. No one sees them. The conversions are seen in the monitor of the exercise shed. They fly and leap through all the processing rooms to the beginning,
67. HALLS OUTSIDE CONVERSION ROOMS
Until they finally pass the first row of unconscious Cephs on gurneys at the start of their conversion.
The Cadets lower Sunny and Alex to a niche safely hidden from the conversion room.
Then they fly around a corner and huddle.
Cadet 1 switches off the transmitter.
CADET 1
That was a mirage.
CADET 2

What is "revolt"?
ALEXANDER
Fight for your freedom.
Fight the Man.
SUNNY
Or if you have families?
How about going back to them?

SUNNY
No, no he's not.
CADET 2
Then why would he come back?
He is not here now, is he even

They walk a few sad steps.
SUNNY
There's a way to do it without
violence I promise.

Our leader didn't lie.
Its really happening.
Our Seniors hang in these
cargo containers.
Every cadet looks around them aware it's a graveyard.

They're Silent as the dead because
the computer has not yet woken them.
CADET 2
We must kill all the military humans
Before they wake them.
CADET 3
But the seniors are now their warriors
The humans will wake them up as soon as
we start. They'll squash us like bugs.
CADET 1
They'll rest in peace if we
can disable those hats.
Then they will not squash us.
CADET 4
I can make up magnets that
will wipe any computer drives
in the storage container.
CADET 5
I hate the idea of killing off
my older brother, he was wonderful.
CADET 1
Their mind and souls are already
Gone. We Cadets, and the puppies,
We're all that Remain of our generation.
And if we are to survive we must do this

We turn on the humans. Before they
Turn on us. Okay
CADETS 4 AND 6
We can have the magnets

into their real tentacles
and interlock them in a circle
And so it shall be.

They look at the same clock 3 minutes till the hour. They stop at the hallway around the corner of the jail guards, They morph into guards, guns and their computer attachment They nod to each other and walk around the corner to the real guards.
CADET 1/COMPOD
Hey we're early for our shift.

courage.
The two Cadet/ComPod guards walk past a few empty cells. Till they reach the cell with Sunny. Alex in the next cell is trying to scratch his name, with the help of his belt buckle, on the wall of his cell.
The Cadet/ComPods show only their backsides to Sunny and Alexander. Looking at each other they giggle.
SUNNY
Alex was that you?
ALEXANDER
No Mam. I thought it was you.
The Cadets still have their backs to the prisoners and light bounces off their computers. Slowly the computers morph back into the real skull of the cadet. The gun, the uniform, all of it morphs back into the bodies of our two cadets.
ALEXANDER
OMG!
SUNNY
The Doctor's gonna love you
two..
They turn around smiling and turn into Sunny and Alex copies. Leaving their hands as tentacles they press the plate, unlocking the doors to the cells. Sunny and Alexander rush out and hug them.
CADETS (in unison)
The real shift will be here in
moments go! Use the floorgrates
they lead to tunnels under the
hub.
They walk into their respective cells and swing the doors closed after them.

JUDY
Finishes the rest of the whiskey then slams the bottle
over the metal post. She clenches the throat of the bottle and shoves it's jagged tip to her neck.
I'll die right here, right now.
I'll screw with Earth history
I'll die in outer space. If you

DOCTOR
You're over reacting.
JUDY
She pushes the shard deeper into her neck and blood trickles out.
DOCTOR
Really!
He madly scrambles and puts the TARDIS in reverse.
Calm down. You're right.
We're on our way back.
He hits the levers and they clearly change course.
Thank you.
(Judy drops the bottle and holds her fingers over her
wound and laughs when she looks at her hands. Doctor puts his hand up to check out the wound and gets blood oh his
hands they both laugh.
Judy
The symbolism is killing me.
DOCTOR
Tell me something I don't know.
JUDY
You'd be a terrible mother.
They are the best part of you.
But you wouldn't know you
haven't had children.

She died in my arms. It
was the most painful thing
I ever felt. I'm The Doctor
Who's saved worlds and races

With your indulgence I'd like to
ask you to give a little
Recital in a few hours to our cadets.
Just 50 of them nothing big,
just a few songs. And the

From that madman. I'm sure Mickey
won't mind.

Generals when would you like to group the
Cadets all in one place,0:1900 hours?.
GENERAL
Very thoughtful of you Mr President.
0:1900 hours would fit well in their
schedule.
Barracks
One Ceph morphs into two Ceph and the other is free to make his/her way into the ventilation shaft. This happens with twenty of the Cephs. We see each flies with a magnet
WAREHOUSE NIGHT
They sail out of the ventilation shafts into the Warehouse.
They start at the back of the Ware- house. Two keep watch
While the others work. They unlock the doors of the storage containers. And place the magnet on the floor. They twist it 45%. It shakes . The computers in the back of the heads of the Ceph shake and shake. Finally a large snap sounds occurs and all stops. They're dead.
She/he twists the magnet back wards to the original setting. And moves to the next container. Leaving the door open another Ceph grabs the weapons from the bin in the container, then closes the door. This is done with 20 Cephs shaped and colored like storage lockers. Sometimes we barely see them crawl over the containers.
