ARE WE ALONE? by Bruce Durbin Page A

it down her tight stomach,
moving towards the top of her shorts. She slips two fingers
into the top of her shorts, as she slightly arches her head,
giving a slight MOAN.
CHAZ (CONT’D)
(softly)
Holy...shit. Yasmine, you’re...
Yasmine instantly stops, bends down, and picks up her bag.
YASMINE
Taken.
    Yasmine starts to walk over to Gina. She suddenly stops and
looks back at Chaz, offering a smile, as she flashes her
eyes.
    YASMINE (CONT’D)
But, who knows. Anything can
happen.
Yasmine turns back around and continues walking. Suddenly,
Anthony’s face jumps in front of the camera.
ANTHONY
Outta your league.
Chaz moves the camera, focusing on Yasmine and the others, as
they begin putting items into the car.
CHAZ
Says who?
ANTHONY
Breanna.
CHAZ
That bitch. She lied and...
    ANTHONY
Don’t matter, dude. Chicks stick
together.
    Anthony comes into view, as he moves towards the car. Chaz
turns the camera, focusing on Gina, who is directing the
others on putting the bags and equipment into the Car.
GINA
Careful...
Gina turns slightly, seeing Chaz filming her.
    GINA (CONT’D)
Come on Chaz, get the tripod set
up, so we can do the intro...
CHAZ
Yes, el capy-e-tan.
SCENE CUTS TO
BLACK:
GINA (V.O.)
Are you sure it’s filming?
CHAZ (V.O.)
See that little red light?
FADE IN:
EXT. HOUSE - DAY
    The STUDENTS come into view, standing next to the now loaded
CAR. From the left, Anthony, Christina, Gina, Chaz, and
Yasmine.
GINA
Yes.
    CHAZ
Well, when it stops flashing, then
it means...Today is June ----. I’m
Chaz ----, from U-N, uh, University
of Nevada, Las Vegas. This is a
class project for Professor
Simmons’ course on ------.
CHRISTINA
(slight wave)
Hey, Professor Simmons.
She’s nudged by Gina.
    CHAZ
Our class project is aimed at
focusing on the book, “UFO’S
THE PAWN OF HIS CREATOR EARLY
CONTACTEES OF INTERPLANETARY
VISITATIONS”, by Henry Dohan and
published, posthumously by David R.
Kammerer.
    (pause)
I’m the principle cameraman and
editor.
GINA
(slight step forward)
I'm Gina ---, Executive Producer--ANTHONY
(slight step forward)
    I'm Anthony ---. Lead Researcher.
(slight step forward)
I'm Yasmine ----. In charge of
budget and makeup.
PAUSE.
They look towards Christina.
    CHRISTINA
Oh, I'm Christina ---. I'm doing,
doing...
(wrinkles her brow, then
smiles)
Oh yeah, the audio and other stuff.
CHAZ
    (moving towards the
camera)
Captain’s Log, star date 2012,
going where no man has gone before.
Let the adventure begin.
Chaz disappears from view, as he moves behind the camera.
    GINA
You can edit that out, can’t you?
Captain’s Log? Because it really
sounds stupid and...
Chaz starts to turn the camera off.
    CHAZ
No. This is reality, baby, no
editing allowed.
Slight focus on Gina’s frown.
SCENE CUTS TO
BLACK:
    YASMINE (V.O.)
I liken us and our lives to the
pawns in a game of chess...
FADE IN:
EXT. CAR - DAY
    Scenic views of the roadside come into view, as Chaz films
from inside the car. Yasmine is reading from a book.
Where as pawns, we are guided by an
intellect greater than ours, to do
tasks which by ourselves we could
never achieve. So as pawns we
live and gather knowledge for our
subconscious minds while we serve
Our Supreme Master.
INT. CAR
    Chaz moves the camera, with Gina coming into view, as she
drives. On the dash is a BOBBLE HEAD of a GREEN ALIEN.
Chaz moves the camera, with Yasmine coming into view, as she
reads from a book. As the students talk, periodic views of
the roadside detail the car moving into a more desolate area.
    YASMINE
Then, as the game is over and we
lay our bodies to dust, we resume
our duties within another body-a
new game with increased
experience...
Chaz moves the camera, with Anthony coming into view, sitting
in the front passenger seat, as he looks at an old paper map.
    YASMINE (CONT’D)
Yet still at the service of the
same Intellect that has always
guided us...
Anthony gives the paper map a violent shake, trying to unfold
if
