Summary:
In the quirky commune of Chaville, a delicious disaster is about to be served! Chef Roach, the flamboyant culinary genius, is preparing a gourmet feast for a prestigious roach cooking competition. But when his chosen sous-chef falls ill, he's left scrambling—until he reluctantly enlists Bone, the skeletal cockroach with a dark flair and zero kitchen skills. With Bone's spooky antics and Chef Roach's perfectionism clashing in the kitchen, things spiral from culinary excellence to haunting hilarity. As flames rise, food walks off the plate, and ghostly ingredients get summoned, the duo must learn to cook in harmony—or risk being booed out of the contest!
Screenplay:
INT. CHEF ROACH'S KITCHEN – DAY
A chaotic kitchen. POTS clang, a sauce BOILS over. CHEF ROACH, a orange cockroach in a chef's hat, frantically stirs a bowl with six utensils at once.
CHEF ROACH
Zut alors! I need two more claws and a miracle!
A door CREAKS open ominously. BONE floats in—his skeletal limbs click and clack. He holds up a tray of burnt toast… that somehow SCREAMS.
CHEF ROACH
(freezes)
Bone?! What are you doing here?
BONE
(grins silently, gives a thumbs-up, his jaw unhinges slightly)
CHEF ROACH
No, no, no! You're supposed to haunt the pantry, not the kitchen!
INT. KITCHEN – LATER
Chef Roach paces. Bone stands nearby, holding a WOK with tongs like drumsticks, DRUMMING a beat.
CHEF ROACH
Okay... fine. Just don't summon anything this time!
Bone NODS and opens a cookbook titled "Haunting Haute Cuisine". He flips to a page: "Soul Soufflé." The lights flicker.
MONTAGE: COOKING CHAOS
Bone slices onions with a mini scythe.
A ghost pepper literally starts floating and SCREAMING.
Bone accidentally conjures a DEMON SPATULA.
The soufflé levitates and spins.
CHEF ROACH
This is not fusion, this is possession!
INT. JUDGING ROOM – NIGHT
A long table of JUDGES including OLIVIA, BOB (in a bib), and LADY K (eyeing the dish with suspicion).
JUDGE #1
Next: Chef Roach and… Bone?
A covered plate is unveiled. A glowing, ghostly soufflé floats gently. The aroma makes everyone momentarily hover. Then the soufflé lets out a happy moan. Weird... but delightful.
LADY K
Huh. Spooky... but tasty.
BOB
(takes a bite)
...I CAN SEE MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES!
CHEF ROACH
(smugly)
A good dish always leaves an impression.
Bone WINKS… one of his eyeballs falls out and rolls offscreen.
INT. KITCHEN – POST-JUDGING
Chef Roach and Bone, now a surprisingly effective team, clean up amid floating pans and bubbling saucepots.
CHEF ROACH
Bone… I gotta admit… you're scary good.
Bone hands Chef Roach a ladle carved from a bone… with his name engraved.
Cue: "La Cucaracha" played on spooky organ.
FADE OUT.
