Scene 1
Ext. A hillside
An old and bearded man stands upon a hillside. He looks towards the camera.
Old Man: In the year 2085, the earth had been ravaged by global warming and there was little water left. Little water meant that mankind had started dying out. In their place, a new animal rose to the position of Earths Superior Being. THE CAMEL!!! These humped beasts soon took over the worlds water reserves. The few humans left were imprisoned by The Camel Federation. However, one man decided that he wanted one last taste of H2O and this is Danny Dangerfield's story.
Scene 2
Int. A dark metallic room on a military prison
A camel, wearing a military hat, stands by a shiny stand with a glass bottle of mineral water on top of it. The camels name is Corporal Slang. Slang gently licks the condensation off the outside of the bottle. The door at the front of the room suddenly whooshes open. In runs Danny Dangerfield.
Danny: (Excitedly) So the rumours were true! All those people who had their heads crushed in by camel toes did not die in vain! A bottle of precious water exists!
Slang looks at Danny, back at the mineral water and then back at Danny. He goes to say something and then realises that he can’t be bothered and goes back to licking his bottle.
Danny: I pray that deep inside you can see the suffering I have suffered. I just ask for some last sips of cold, pure water.
Danny starts moving towards Slang and the bottle of water. Slang turns round to face Danny full on. He lifts up a camel toe in a ‘you just wait a minute’ gesture.
Slang: Now you just hold on there, mister. I might need this water in a month or two. I haven’t drunk for the last 6 weeks and I almost felt a little parched earlier.
Danny looks distraught at this.
Danny: But, I shall be dead in 2 weeks. Please, please, just let me have one last taste.
Slang thinks for a second.
Slang: No, no. Definitely not. I can’t allow it. I’ve been planning to grow a dahlia for quite some time now and I think this water will come in very useful.
Danny pulls a laser gun from his pocket and aims it at Slang.
Danny: I’m armed, man! I mean - I’m armed, camel! I think you better start taking me seriously.
Slang: Tut tut! How can I take a man seriously with his flies open?
Danny: What?
Danny goes to check his flies and realises it’s a trap. He quickly looks back up.
Danny: Hey, don’t play the funny guy with me. Now, its time you moved aside.
Danny moves forward slightly
Slang: Hmmm. You seem pretty serious. I guess I better tell you something important first.
Danny: It’s not lemon flavoured water is it? I HATE lemon flavoured water!
Slang: I don’t know how to tell you this, Danny, but...I AM YOUR FATHER!
Dannys face changes to one of shock and then slowly into one of confusion.
Danny: But…you’re a camel. My mothers egg would have rejected your sperm. Unless...Unless you’re some sort of pantomime camel! Two men in a suit! Working undercover to bring down The Camel Federation! (clicks his fingers in agreement with himself) of course! I knew it!
Slang suddenly stands up on his hind legs and Danny’s jaw drops.
Slang: (wildly) I’m ALLLLLLLL camel, baby!
Danny peers closer.
Danny: Christ!
Slang: (Proudly) I don’t just retain fat in my humps, if you know what I mean
Danny: So you can’t be my father!
Slang: Ha Ha! It was all just a diversionary tactic. Look!
Danny turns round and sees two other camels at the door. They are both wearing laser gun headwear. One of them fires a shot at Danny and he is disintegrated. Slang laughs and then looks at the bottle and laughs some more.
Slang: It was lemon flavoured water after all!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha!!
With a swish of his tail, Slang knocks the bottle onto the floor where it smashes.
