AN: So I basically found a script generator entered some Random prompts and generated... the result is something weird lol so listen the generator made this not me lol.

INT. KINGS CROSS STATION, LONDON - AFTERNOON

Virtuous author MR DAN PITT is arguing with popular actor SIR RICK GREY. DAN tries to hug RICK but he shakes him off.

DAN

Please Rick, don't leave me.

RICK

I'm sorry Dan, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces his fears head on, instead of running away.

DAN

I am such a person!

RICK frowns.

RICK

I'm sorry, Dan. I just don't feel excited by this relationship anymore.

RICK leaves.

DAN sits down, looking defeated.

Moments later, thoughtful lawyer LORD CUTHBERT SLAUGHTERHOUSE barges in looking flustered.

DAN

Goodness, Cuthbert! Is everything okay?

CUTHBERT

I'm afraid not.

DAN

What is it? Don't keep me in suspense...

CUTHBERT

It's ... a God ... I saw an evil God Kill a bunch of children!

DAN

Defenseless children?

CUTHBERT

Yes, defenseless children!

DAN

Bloomin' heck, Cuthbert! We've got to do something.

CUTHBERT

I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start.

DAN

You can start by telling me where this happened.

CUTHBERT

I was...

CUTHBERT fans himself and begins to wheeze.

DAN

Focus Cuthbert, focus! Where did it happen?

CUTHBERT

a supermarket! That's right - a supermarket!

DAN springs up and begins to run.

EXT. A ROAD - CONTINUOUS

DAN rushes along the street, followed by CUTHBERT. They take a short cut through some back gardens, jumping fences along the way.

EXT. A SUPERMARKET - SHORTLY AFTER

BETH BLACKMAN a peculiar God terrorises two children.

DAN, closely followed by CUTHBERT, rushes towards BETH, but suddenly stops in his tracks.

CUTHBERT

What is is? What's the matter?

DAN

That's not just any old God, that's Beth Blackman!

CUTHBERT

Who's Beth Blackman?

DAN

Who's Beth Blackman? Who's Beth Blackman? Only the most peculiar God in the universe!

CUTHBERT

Blinkin' knickers, Dan! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most peculiar God in the universe!

DAN

You can say that again.

CUTHBERT

Blinkin' knickers, Dan! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most peculiar God in the universe!

DAN

I'm going to need Holy Grail, lots of Holy Grail.

Beth turns and sees Dan and Cuthbert. She grins an evil grin.

BETH

Dan Pitt, we meet again.

CUTHBERT

You've met?

DAN

Yes. It was a long, long time ago...

EXT. A PARK - BACK IN TIME

A young DAN is sitting in a park listening to some jazz music, when suddenly a dark shadow casts over him.

He looks up and sees BETH. He takes off his headphones.

BETH

Would you like some barley sugar?

DAN's eyes light up, but then he studies BETH more closely, and looks uneasy.

DAN

I don't know, you look kind of peculiar.

BETH

Me? No. I'm not peculiar. I'm the least peculiar God in the world.

DAN

Wait, you're a God?

DAN runs away, screaming.

EXT. A SUPERMARKET - PRESENT DAY

BETH

You were a coward then, and you are a coward now.

CUTHBERT

(To DAN) You ran away?

DAN

(To CUTHBERT) I was a young child. What was I supposed to do?

DAN turns to BETH.

DAN

I may have run away from you then, but I won't run away this time!

DAN runs away.

He turns back and shouts.

DAN

I mean, I am running away, but I'll be back - with Holy Grail.

BETH

I'm not scared of you.

DAN

You should be.

INT. TATE MODERN, ST IVES - LATER THAT DAY

DAN and CUTHBERT walk around searching for something.

DAN

I feel sure I left my Holy Grail somewhere around here.

CUTHBERT

Are you sure? It does seem like an odd place to keep deadly Holy Grail.

DAN

You know nothing Cuthbert Slaughterhouse.

CUTHBERT

We've been searching for ages. I really don't think they're here.

Suddenly, BETH appears, holding a pair of Holy Grail.

BETH

Looking for something?

CUTHBERT

Crikey, Dan, she's got your Holy Grail.

DAN

Tell me something I don't already know!

CUTHBERT

The earth's circumference at the equator is about 40,075 km.

DAN

I know that already!

CUTHBERT

I'm A God.

BETH

(appalled) Dude!

While BETH is looking at CUTHBERT with disgust, DAN lunges forward and grabs his deadly Holy Grail. He wields them, triumphantly.

DAN

Prepare to die, you peculiar parsnip!

BETH

No please! All I did was Kill a bunch of children!

RICK enters, unseen by any of the others.

DAN

I cannot tolerate that kind of behaviour! Those children were defenceless! Well now they have a defender - and that's me! Dan Pitt defender of innocent children.

BETH

Don't hurt me! Please!

DAN

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't use these Holy Grail on you right away!

BETH

Because Dan, I am your mother.

DAN looks stunned for a few moments, but then collects himself.

DAN

No you're not!

BETH

Ah well, it had to be worth a try.

BETH tries to grab the Holy Grail but DAN dodges out of the way.

DAN

Who's the mummy now? Huh? Huh?

Unexpectedly, BETH slumps to the ground.

CUTHBERT

Did she just faint?

DAN

I think so. Well that's disappointing. I was rather hoping for a more dramatic conclusion, involving my deadly Holy Grail.

DAN crouches over BETH's body.

CUTHBERT

Be careful, Dan. It could be a trick.

DAN

No, it's not a trick. It appears that... It would seem... Beth Blackman is dead!

DAN

What?

DAN

Yes, it appears that I scared her to death.

CUTHBERT claps his hands.

CUTHBERT

So your Holy Grail did save the day, after all.

RICK steps forward.

RICK

Is it true? Did you kill the peculiar God?

DAN

Rick how long have you been...?

RICK puts his arm around DAN.

RICK

Long enough.

DAN

Then you saw it for yourself. I killed Beth Blackman.

RICK

Then the children are safe?

DAN

It does seem that way!

A crowd of vulnerable children enter, looking relived.

RICK

You are their hero.

The children bow to DAN.

DAN

There is no need to bow to me. I seek no worship. The knowledge that Beth Blackman will never Kill children ever again, is enough for me.

RICK

You are humble as well as brave!

One of the children passes DAN a mystical Excalibur

RICK

I think they want you to have it, as a symbol of their gratitude.

DAN

I couldn't possibly.

Pause.

DAN

Well, if you insist.

DAN takes the Excalibur.

DAN

Thank you.

The children bow their heads once more, and leave.

DAN turns to RICK.

DAN

Does this mean you want me back?

RICK

Oh, Dan, of course I want you back!

DAN smiles for a few seconds, but then looks defiant.

DAN

Well you can't have me.

RICK

WHAT?

DAN

You had no faith in me. You had to see my scare a God to death before you would believe in me. I don't want a lover like that.

RICK

But...

DAN

Please leave. I want to spend time with the one person who stayed with me through thick and thin - my best friend, Cuthbert.

CUTHBERT grins.

RICK

But...

CUTHBERT

You heard the gentleman. Now be off with you. Skidaddle! Shoo!

RICK

Dan?

DAN

I'm sorry Rick, but I think you should skidaddle.

RICK leaves.

CUTHBERT turns to DAN.

CUTHBERT

Did you mean that? You know ... that I'm your best friend?

DAN

Of course you are!

The two walk off arm in arm.

Suddenly CUTHBERT stops.

CUTHBERT

When I said I'm A God, you know I was just trying to distract the God don't you?

THE END
