EXT.

K-MART PARKING LOT - NIGHT Rows of cars are lined up at the edge of the lot facing the road, tons of people sitting on the hoods of their cars. There is some conversation, but not much. Mostly ripples and murmurs of awe as they look skyward. UNIDENTIFIED MALE Holeeee shit! UNIDENTIFIED MALE 2 Whoahhh. Crashing and crinkling of metal, violentl, glass breaking. JENNA (os) I think that was the Challenger 7 prototype... Overhead, what looks like a swarm of flying mechbots are in an insane battle royale over the on the horizon opposite the Kmart, swirling chaotically above the Dairy Queen. Flying robots hell bent on knocking each other out of the sky. A very loud SMASH, then THUD, then KABOOM. The Challenger 7 is toast. The Challenger 7 wreckage frames the roadside and people are lined up wtching on their hoods as far as the eye can see. It's like Friday night high school football or something. Seated on the hood of an old Town and Country station wagon, three gawkers. Jenna, Zorgbot Model 2A1A, and Gomer. GOMER Challenger had such a stupid logo. JENNA Nah, that shit is dope. Too bad their bot was shit. Gomer is staring at the logo on the wrecage of the burning wing, takes a puff on his marijuana vaporize. Silently offers it to Jenna. She declines with a hand gesture. He coughs. GOMER I mean. Look at it. It's like. Okay. There's like, there's an arrow. Then there's some stupid looking wrench or big dipper looking thing. And it has a bananna for a handle. Fucking stupid.

Above them, another spectacular crash, oohs and ahs from the crowd. JENNA Zorg, can we get a ruling on this? Zorgbot Model 2A1A is a cheaper ghetto tin man version of CP30, his head turns deliberately toward Jenna. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A A ruling on subjective matters of interpretation are beyond Zorgbot Model A21A 's capability. GOMER You're such a tool... Another crash and burn, only about 7 mechbots fighting. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A The logo you describe as stupid is the Chinese character for horse, ma. Jenna goes around to the passenger door. The fallen bot explodes. She dumps the last backwash of a bottle of beer on the asphalt before throwing it in the back of the station wagon, grabbing another from the cooler of ice on the passenger side floor. JENNA Zorg, who hit the most home runs in major league baseball in 1958? ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Mickey Charles Mantle. JENNA And in 2023? ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Atlantic Positronics Model 723 GOMER (exhaling again) Atlantic fucking Positronics, now that bot was a mensch. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Atlantic positronics model 723 was not a mensch. Zorg swiveled his head towards Gomer. GOMER Chill... Gomer makes like to offer the marijuana e cig to Zorg. Zorg turns his retinal sensors away, back to the sky battle.

Jenna comes back to the front of the car, cracks her beer. JENNA I got 5 says it'll be the Aviato Sinclair that takes it. GOMER Yeah... You're on. I don't... Uh... Have to pick any one... To win right? JENNA Nope. GOMER Deal. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Gambling has been outlawed in your current territory since the Carter Treaty of 2041. GOMER We're just, uh, betting for fun. A gentelmens bet. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Gambling has been outlawed in your current territory since the Carter Treaty of 2041. JENNA You wish gomer. Another crash and explosion. A bunch of mechbots fall in a hellacious fiery hell when they all smash into each other. Boom, explosions, michael bey time. There are two mechbots left. Aviato Sinclair and Versius 12. Battling. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Gambling has been outlawed in your current territory since the Carter Treaty of 2041. The kmart, which was dead and shut down for the night comes alive. The interior lights come on, the floodlights come on. The crowd of people lined up watching the battle turn toward it, some murmur and shift. Some get up instanly and start walking to the lit up Kmart like zombies. The mechbots crash and smash, a slow tide of bodies marching across the parking lot to the beckoning Kmart. Jenna, gomer and zorg haven't moved.

ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Gambling has been outlawed in your current territory since the Carter Treaty of 2041. GOMER Tell me about that chinese horse again. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Gambling has been outlawed in your current territory since the Carter Treaty of 2041. The mechbots battle. Jenna takes a swig. More hordes are heading to the kmart. The Aviato Sinclair blows up the last bot. It falls. GOMER Damn it. JENNA Pay up. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Gambling has been outlawed in your current territory since the Carter Treaty of 2041. Gomer reluctantly gives her a fiver. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Violation... carter treaty of 2041. Self destruct in 5... GOMER Are you serios? ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Four. JENNA No sense of humor. Zorg. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Three. GOMER At least he said something. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A Two. JENNA Yeah. ZORGBOT MODEL 2A1A One.

Jenna presses a button on the side of Zorgs stupid metal head. He goes limps and powers down. The sole mechbot flies away leaving piles of wreckage and a crowd of zoned out people marching towards kmart. JENNA Gonna have to flash his memory again. GOMER Yeah. FADE OUT
