Not Ours To Command 4: A Day Out

By Freeman Gudbrand

INT – A MEDIEVAL CASTLE – NIGHT

YORKIE (early 20s, English, Male) sits facing XANDER (early 20’s, English, Male).

They are sat at a large dinner table with a number of other people.

XANDER

Why Yorkie, it was so kind of you to offer me a seat in your castle.

YORKIE stands up thrusting the chair backwards.

YORKIE

Or was it?

YORKIE then picks up the chair and sits back down as XANDER looks confused.

YORKIE

Sorry, dramatic effect my old chum. Now, on to business.

YORKIE pulls a lever by his leg and XANDERs chair drops through a hole that appears in the floor.

A long scream is let out by XANDER as he plummets before the sound of a body hitting a floor can be heard.

YORKIE

With Xander out the way I might be able to open the gates of Xackbah.

YORKIE laughs manically before walking out of the room.

YORKIEs minions follow.

Cut scene.

EXT – A FOREST – DAY

YORKIE is riding on horse back through the forest with his men.

One of the men turns to him.

Man 1

Sir it’s been days, we must rest.

Suddenly man 1 is shot through the head.

Three XANDERs run out from the bushes with guns wearing motorbike leathers.

YORKIE

My heavens!

YORKIE begins to ride away.

Two of the XANDERS start shooting YORKIES men, as the other jumps on a classic chopper and speeds through the forest after YORKIE.

A frantic chase scene through the forest ensues.

YORKIE then manages to arrest his horse right before falling off a cliff and is left with nowhere to go.

XANDER arrives from round the corner and stops his motorbike pointing the gun at YORKIE.

XANDER

I trusted you YORKIE, and now you shall know what it is to trust someone and be deceived.

XANDER jumps at YORKIE throwing them both from YORKIEs horse over the cliff edge.

YORKIE begins to scream but then the two start flying upwards.

They make it to the same height as the cliff they fell from.

YORKIE

I’m soaring high above the clouds!

XANDER then drops YORKIE who lands perfectly on his horse which rides over the edge.

YORKIE screams as he falls.

XANDER looks directly into the camera as we hear YORKIE land.

XANDER

A taste of devils breath!

XANDERs motorbike leathers transform into jeans and a t-shirt as he flies off into the distance.
