The Kickables Script

The main characters Sam, Josh, Adam & Matt are stood outside their local Secondary School looking for trouble, they are dressed in makeshift costumes, using such things as face paint, paper masks and 3D glasses to cover their identities.

(All speech listed below is Voice Overs)

Matt: DANGER! Ha you weren’t expecting that were you?

I’m captain awesome and I’ll be your superhero for your lifetime!

I became a superhero because I felt the urge to bring justice to the world… well Bristol at least… and also for the chicks. Superheroes get the ladies… hopefully. Of course there is also Sam… (17.5secs)

Sam: Cheers Matt. Hey I’m the mysterious man. Ever been called a queer or a bit of a loser. I have. So I made a stand against crime. Injustice is everywhere and its up to me and my fellow partners against crime to do something about it.

Lets not forget josh… (18secs)

Josh: Thanks Sam. Mega Boy is my name. Kicking crime is my game. I stare punches in the face. I became a superhero because I was bored at home and mum says I need to get out more. I’m called mega boy because I am unusually tall for a sidekick.

Now over to Protector… Adam? Adam? (17.2secs)

Adam: Hey hows it going?

Josh: Its going good… Remember were supposed to say a bit about ourselves…

Adam: Alright lets get to it! I’m Adam and I like Doritos. Best game of the year Fifa 11, EA you fucking did it with that game…

Josh: No no no… you are supposed to tell them about your superhero!

Adam: Oh okay… I’m Protector and I’m an alcoholic.

Josh: Perfect…

Matt: Wait you’re an alcoholic?

Sam: You actually serious?

Adam: Well not really, I mean it only counts if you throw up right?

Suddenly Matt spots something on the ground. He picks up a pack of cigarettes.

Matt: (Disgusted) It's cigarettes!

The others look at him seeing what to do next.

(Dialogue from this point is diegetic, unless specified)

Matt: (Shouted) Look over there!

Matt points in the direction of what he's seen. Josh, Sam and Adam all look to where he's pointing. There are two hooded youths stood over by the trees. Matt pulls out his lightsaber.

Matt: Let's go!

All four characters run in the direction Matt pointed to earlier. The youths hear the Kickable arriving and turn around, our heros stop just in front of them.

Youth 1: What the fuck?

The Kickables prepare for battle.

Josh: Alright pricks it's go time!

The Kickables advance on the youths. The screen cuts away to a twenty seconds later sign, when we return wes see Sam, Josh and Matt in a heap on the floor. The youths pick up and carry Adam over then drop him on the pile.

Youth 1+2: (While fist bumping) Yeah!

Enter title credits. At the end of the title credits, cut to a shot of the school, with six weeks earlier labelled in the top left hand corner.

Sam: (V.O) We never used to be hero's, just ordinary guys.

Sam and Adam walk throught the school gates on the left side.

Sam: (V.O) See there's me and Adam back in the day. You may be wondering why there's just us two, well let's say we never used to see eye to eye.

Josh and Matt walk throught the school gates on the left hand side.
