Chain Reaction Monkey

Steven Hawking as Steven Hawking
Monkey's Name: Universe
Location: Hawkings Apartment

Start on long shot of Hawking in wheelchair. There’s a monkey at the blackboard..writing out an immensely complicated series of equations. Window is open behind Hawking. You could hear robot voice from Hawking. They are on the 4th floor in a busy city.

Hawking - No, no, no....are u even listening, Universe? I don’t understand... You came highly recommended...

monkey screeches

Hawking - Who forgets to carry the one? Oh I remember.... a monkey!

monkey screeches again but louder and throws chalk

Hawking - That’s it. I’m sending you back to Michael J. Fox.

Monkey freaks out, leaps out the window.

Hawking - Wait...Universe where have you gone? What have I done?

The monkey bounces off an awning...flies through a clothes line, comes out dressed as a woman smoking a pipe. From the street you hear a cat-call whistle.

Guy on street (off camera) - It’s a monkey!

Another guy (off camera)- I know...

Monkey dressed as a woman lands in a baby carriage. A woman leans over and looks into the carriage. I didn’t know you had twins Mikki. Cut to inside of carriage to show two monkeys sucking their thumbs. Lady, I don’t! Takes fake monkey out, and kicks him off screen.

Cut to hot dog vendor. He’s just put a new weenie in a bun and hands it over to a guy in a ball cap. The guy squirts some ketchup on it, then turns to pay the hot dog vendor. Just then when the guys head is turned the monkey zips into the hot dog bun, and knocks the weenie out. The guy turns back to take a bite, but the monkey notices, kisses him on the lips, and jumps off screen.

Cut back to Stephen Hawking trying to write on the board with a makeshift broom and chalk attached to his wheel chair. It’s moving back and fourth and making a scribble on the board.

Hawking- Ah crap, my body is a prison.

-Cut back to monkey-
Monkey falls in the back seat of a rickshaw. Monkey is relieved, wipes sweat off his brow, but then is shocked at the driver/puller of the rickshaw. Cut to the front of the rickshaw, and it’s himself, Universe the monkey pulling it. Pull out wider to reveal the monkey pulling the cart with no one in the back. Cut to monkeys point of view to show a bunch of nuns crossing the street slowly. Monkey tries to stop but there’s no breaks and he’s running too fast.

Big explosion, nuns become angels and/or winged pandas and start floating up to heaven.

Cut back to monkey and he comes back down landing on one of the wheels from the cart and rides it like a unicycle. rotate camera 180 degrees and stop following monkey as he bombs a series of hills screaming.

Cut to interior of Steven Hawkings’ house...Hawking is wheeling across a room..

Hawking- So hungry...wheelchair!! Throw a burger in the blender!
Wheel chair flips over.
Hawking - Dern!

Cut back to screaming monkey as he charges camera and we enter his mouth. The unicycle hits a curb and Universe is tossed up into the air, collides with a streetlight, spins around the pole with the streetlight, and is flung back the way he came through the sky.

Cut back to Hawking’s room
Wheel chair is on it’s side. Hawking is laying on his back covered in vultures and owls and rats. They are picking him to pieces. Hawking says owe, owe, owe, every time a vulture pecks him.

Monkey flies in through the window, lands, and scares all the vultures, rats, and owls away.

Hawking- Universe.....you....you saved me?! I was so helpless and scared without you.

Monkey screeches!

Hawking- I’ll be more patient with you from now on.

Monkey screeches..runs to blackboard..rewrites equation..looks to Hawking for approval.

Hawking - You’re fired.
