HAELMP! Need some Olive creativity!
Even if you don't join us on the cabin trip, you can still be with us
in spirit if you help write the script for the movie we make. Here's
what I've come up with so far. (There's also a working copy in the
Files section.) We're trying to stuff in as many references to
cartoons and old films as possible.
Won't you please, please help me?

ALABAMA ADAM IN THE FOREST OF DOOM
Characters:
Alabama Adam – hero extraordinaire
New Jersey Jason – debonair villain
Rhode Island Ryan – comic sidekick, and Adam's "thinking" voice
Mississippi Mom – evil villainess, on Jason's team
Pasadena Dean – unsuspecting tourist
Delaware David – barefoot camera work
Simply Joy – female in distress (who `you kidding?)
SCENE: Interior of cabin. Adam sneaks in, searches desperately for
something, finds it, tucks it into pouch, dashes outside.
SCENE: Exterior of cabin.
ADAM: Ha! That was too easy! (listens to distant rumbling) Huh?
What's that sound?
SCENE: Zoom in on a tiny snowball. Cut to Adam's face looking
slightly scared. Snowball starts rolling down hill. Adam starts
running down hill. Snowball gets larger as it rolls down. Adam
running as fast as he can go. Snowball now a giant, getting VERY
close. A hand reaches out and grabs Adam's bag, pulling it out of his
hand. Adam is surprised, but keeps running. Manages to duck behind
something. Massive snowball goes thundering downhill and smashes into
something else instead.
ADAM: Whew! That was a close one. But I'll bet I know whose hand
that was…
JASON: (steps out from behind tree) Indeed, it was I. And thank you,
Alabama Adam, for retrieving the Golden Gizmo of Gadzooks for me.
RYAN's Voice (from offscreen): Oh no! If New Jersey Jason uses the
Golden Gizmo the world is doomed! I have to think of something fast!
ADAM: Aha! But that's just what I WANTED you to think!
JASON: What do you mean?
ADAM: You see, today is Tuesday, and on Tuesday all YuGiOh cards are
worth twice their face value. And I have in my hand a Trap card just
for you!
JASON: Ah, but this is also a month which begins with an "F", which
means I get an extra turn. So farewell, Adam. I shall be going now.
A shame my giant snowball didn't finish you off first! (runs away)
RYAN's Voice (offscreen): Oh no! He's getting away! What do I do now?
ADAM: (Runs after Jason, holding up a deck of YuGiOh cards) First we
charge de card. Then we t'row de card. (Throws card after Jason.)
SCENE: Jason is running. Silence all around. Suddenly a very loud
explosion is heard! BOOOOM!!! Jason is knocked off his feet and snow
falls from a tree right on top of him.
JASON: (brushes snow off) What happened?
ADAM: (runs up and grabs the bag) I used my Mutant powers on you.
Now GIVE ME THAT BAG!
SCENE: Adam and Jason struggle over the bag. Along strolls Dean,
enjoying the beauty of nature. Dean trips over a branch and falls
down on top of, or at least very close to, Adam and Jason. When the
three pick themselves up, the bag is empty because the Gizmo has
somehow rolled its way into Dean's pocket. Dean brushes himself off,
helps the boys up, apologises, and goes on his way, whistling and
enjoying the scenery.
ADAM: I'll have THAT back, thank you! (grabs bag and runs off)
JASON: Curses! I'll have to think of a plan to get that back.
(turns around and calls into the woods) Mommy! Mississippi Mommy! I
need a ride back to the secret laboratory!
MOM: (walking over) So he got away, did he?
JASON: HE got away, but he doesn't know that he doesn't have the
Gizmo. I saw it roll into Delaware Daddy's pocket when he fell over us.
MOM: So why do we need to go back to the laboratory? Why don't we
just go get Daddy?
JASON: Oh. I didn't think about that. (straightens up) AFTER THAT
DADDY! (Jason and Mommy take off after Daddy.)
SCENE: Simply Joy walks into a cabin, shivering with cold.
JOY: Brr! It's really cold in here! Why did I ever agree to come on
this stupid cabin trip anyway?
DAVID's Voice (offscreen): You think it's cold in there? Try filming
everything when you're not wearing any shoes?
