Screenplay
Mouse House Heist
The following is a section of the screenplay I have been working on. This started as a story that I had been outlining for awhile and came to life in a new form during a screenwriting course. The basic idea is an Oceans 11 meets The Da Vinci Code; where a group of average people are going to rob Disneyland during one of the 24 hour events that they hold. This is going to be a creative heist in the idea that nobody will realize they are being robbed and Disneyland Resort will not realize it completely for some time after. The location and the people are real, however the actual event happening is considered fiction.
The scene is Act 1 in which the husband is going down for breakfast and is motivated as to the fact that he has to do something about the family finances.
INT BEDROOM MORNING
Alarm clock goes on and we are looking at the back side of DAVID laying in bed.
D.J. V.O.
Good morning you rad people it is 7:00 April 24 and you know what that means. You made it to hump day. You are listening to your favorite 80’s station MYFM. Lisa what is going on in the news?
David rolls over taking the covers off. He is wearing a Mickey Mouse t-shirt and long pant plaid pajamas.
LISA V.O.
Big announcement from the Walt Disney Company, and our parent company, that Walt Disney World and
Disneyland Resort will be having a 24 hour ‘Monster Celebration’ event on May 24th. That is your news for the day on MYFM.
V.O.
Thanks Lisa. You’re listening to
Valentine in the morning and today I thought I would do something different when telling you the traffic. Instead of telling you each freeway and every problem; I am going to tell you all of the traffic in one shot. It is bad, everywhere, and if you have not left yet you are going to be late.
Huey Lewis and the News, “I WANNA NEW DRUG” starts as David is walking toward the shower undressing as he goes.
INT KITCHEN MORNING
We get our first look at David. Clean shaven, balding, wearing a black Hanes t-shirt with a pocket, grey cargo pants and tennis shoes that are the off brand purchased for $20 at Big 5. AMY is already in the kitchen as David walks in.
AMY
Good morning honey. I made some eggs if you’re hungry.
DAVID
Mornin’ babe
AMY Sleep okay?
DAVID Yeah, you?
AMY
Good thanks. Sweetie, have you thought anymore about our conversation awhile back.
DAVID
Any conversation in particular? And yeah I’ll take some eggs; please.
AMY
The one about your life, your dreams; getting out of what you are doing.
DAVID That one, sure.
AMY
Have you thought anymore about what you might want to do?
DAVID
Yep. I am going to win the lottery and go back to school. Or was that win the lottery, quit work and write the next Great American Novel.
AMY
Seriously. If you look around you’d notice you’ve given up around here a bit, and I assume since you have lost a couple of accounts your the same way at work.
David has grabbed an AMP energy drink out of the fridge and is sitting at the table. Amy brings the plate of eggs and some ketchup placing them in front of him.
DAVID
Alright. I have been in a bit of a funk, but I’ve been thinking about stuff. I think a degree would be my best bet. It’d help to open up internships for me.
AMY
That’s great. What is the next step?
DAVID Nothing.
AMY Excuse me.
DAVID
Nothing, without any money I cannot even think of going to school. Taking out a loan sounds painful right now. Besides like you said I have lost a couple of aquarium clients recently.
AMY
I didn’t say that to be mean, just to state a fact.
AMY(CONT’D) I’m sure we can figure something out. Maybe we can cut out Disneyland and Long Beach Aquarium passes for awhile?
DAVID
C’mon, you know Maggie and I have the best time at Disneyland. It really is my escape. The aquarium pass is a write off anyway so it actually helps us.
AMY
I just know that you are miserable and you need to do something about it soon.
Enter MAGGIE into the room. 8 year old daughter.
MAGGIE
I heard Disneyland, when are we going?
AMY
That’s a good idea. Why don’t you two go on Saturday. Maybe a play day will help you recharge and figure something out.
MAGGIE
Can we daddy; please?
DAVID Absolutely Pooh bear.
DAVID CONT. Love you guys.
AMY Love you too.
MAGGIE
Love you daddy. Can’t wait ‘til Saturday.
EXT. DAVID’S TRUCK MORNING
David gets out of the truck and grabs some of the buckets and gear from the bed of the truck that he will need to clean this accounts tank.
EXT. FRONT DOOR CLIENTS HOUSE MORNING
David knocks on the door and SHIRLEY answers.
SHIRLEY
Hello David, please come in.
DAVID
Thanks. How are you this morning?
David walks in and heads into the living room where the aquarium is. Shirley follows him but continues to the kitchen where she is making breakfast for herself.
SHIRLEY
The same, you know me. How are you and that adorable daughter of yours doing?
David lays down his furniture blanket to protect the flooring from any spills. He undoes his buckets and opens the glass top of the aquarium. Then he pulls out his siphon hose and vacuum to get ready to clean the gravel.
DAVID Great thanks.
SHIRLEY
How old is your daughter again?
DAVID 8, just turned.
SHIRLEY
It is crazy how fast time flies. I remember you coming out to the old house before you were married, let alone have a kid.
Before David siphons the gravel he writes help in the algae on the front of the tank. With a quick swipe he makes it go away and starts the siphon on the gravel vacuum.
SHIRLEY(CONT’D) The tank looks dirtier than normal today?
DAVID
Yeah, I was just thinking that.
DAVID(CONT’D) Did you run the lights more than you usually do?
DAVID V.O.
Did you feed the hell out of them? How about the fact the sunlight is shining right in on the part that has the most algae.
SHIRLEY
You know I like the light and to see my fish. I have been entertaining a lot and have had it on more.
DAVID
That will do it. It might also be because it is getting closer to Summer and the sun has shifted so it is hitting the tank a little more directly. I think we had the same problem around this time last year.
SHIRLEY
Can’t you put some of your magic stuff in there and make it not happen?
DAVID
I’m sorry but there is no magic stuff to fight the sun. I tell everybody if you are not looking at the tank then don’t have the lights on; unless they need to be such as for corals and plants.
SHIRLEY
But my fish need the light. I need it to see them all day as well.
DAVID
I know and that is why you have me here. To make it clean.
David opens up the canister filter. As he takes the top off some of the water in the canister spills on him leaving him wet with fish waste and algae on his shirt and shorts.
SHIRLEY
Did you get that on my carpet?
DAVID
No, this is why I put the blanket down.
SHIRLEY
Do you think you are going to be long?
DAVID
About another half hour.
SHIRLEY
Is something going on? You just have not done the tank as well as you used to lately. The fish are alive but it is not as exciting as you usually make it.
DAVID
Just tired, sorry. It will look great today.
Shirley goes back into the kitchen to finish breakfast and the dishes. She looks back periodically and comes into write David a check when she notices him cleaning up.
DAVID(CONT’D) Well, how’s it look?
SHIRLEY
Better, but still not the best you’ve done.
Shirley hands David the check.
DAVID
Thanks, I’ll see you in a month.
EXT. SHIRLEY’S HOUSE MID DAY
David loads his equipment back in the truck.
INT. DAVID’S TRUCK MID DAY
We see David start the truck and pull around the corner and stop. There he takes deep breathes, and tries to relax before he drives to the next client. He opens his organizer, pulls Shirley’s check from his pocket putting it where he puts checks, and checks the calendar for who is next.
DAVID V.O.
Mrs. Harley next, but first a quick bite.
INT. 7-11 CONVENIENT STORE MID DAY
David walks in and grabs a bag of Chile Fritos Chips. Then heads over near clerk and makes a self serve Big Bite hot dog. Adds all of the toppings except onions. Takes two items over to fill up a Big Gulp. Chooses Cherry flavor option to add to Sprite. David then takes everything to the clerk, AJAY, and pays.
CLERK
Is that everything today?
DAVID Yes, thanks.
CLERK
That’ll be $9.89.
David hands the clerk a $10 and while waiting for change a uniformed security guard, JAVIER, enters the store. The patch on his sleeve facing David says “BRINKS SECURITY”.
BRINKS SECURITY OFFICER Good afternoon Ajay.
CLERK
Hey Javier. How are you?
BRINKS SECURITY OFFICER Same as always. Anything today?
CLERK
A little heavy from the weekend.
Here you go.
BRINKS SECURITY OFFICER Thanks. See you in a couple of days.
CLERK
Thank you. Be safe out there.
David holds the door open for the guard.
BRINKS SECURITY OFFICER Thank you.
DAVID Yeah, sure.
David watches as the guard approaches the passenger side of the back of the vehicle. The guard puts the key into the door and turns it.
DREAM SEQUENCE
David drops everything and runs over to the guard grabbing his gun before the guard can react. David holds the gun under the guards arm where there is no bullet proof vest. David tells the guard to turn around and face away from the back of the vehicle keeping his back to David. As David reaches for the money bags in the truck the driver comes around the back of the truck with his gun drawn.
BRINKS SECURITY DRIVER Drop the gun!
BRINKS SECURITY DRIVER CONT. I said drop it!
David startled drops the gun. When the gun hits the ground it goes off shooting David in the foot.
END DREAM SEQUENCE
As the GUNSHOT echoes David finds himself at the trash can where he has accidently dropped his hot dog. The top of the carton the hot dog is in has opened and all the toppings from the dog are on David’s shoe looking as if he had been shot and is bleeding. David picks up the hot dog and carton throws them into the trash. David walks to his truck with Big Gulp and bag of chips. At the truck he will clean off his shoe with the water from one of his 5 gallon buckets.
DAVID V.O.
Damn it. My shoe and sock will be wet for a while now and I am still going to be hungry.
(MORE)
DAVID V.O. (CONT’D) At least I know that I will not be robbing a Brinks Truck anytime soon. I can get that idea out of my head.
INT. DAVID’S HOUSE LIVING ROOM FRIDAY EVENING
Maggie, Amy and David are on the couch. The door bell rings. David gets up to answer it. It is a DELIVERY PERSON with Chinese food.
DELIVERY PERSON Hello sir, delivery for you. That will be 23.42 please.
DAVID
Hey sweetie, could you cover dinner tonight? I will need any cash that I have for tomorrow. I know it’ll be an expensive day.
AMY
My wallet is in my bag hanging on the chair in the kitchen. Help yourself.
David retrieves Amy’s purse.
AMY(CONT’D) I don’t know why you don’t just grab the money?
DAVID
My mom always said, “You never go through a ladies purse.”
EXT. DISNEYLAND MAIN GATE SATURDAY 7:50 A.M.
David and Maggie are in the turnstile line with 5 parties in front of them. They are there in the morning right before the park opens. The steam train is in front of the Main Street Station loading passengers since the park will open in 10 minutes and they let guest in to allow them to shop before the park officially opens.
DAVID
So what do you want to do first?
MAGGIE Churro.
DAVID
First off, not for breakfast and secondly, I meant what ride?
MAGGIE
Thunder mountain.
DAVID
Look at you gettin’ all crazy in the morning.
They reach the turnstile.
TURNSTILE ATTENDANT Good morning, and good morning to you princess. Tickets?
Maggie and David both hand her their annual passes. She scans them and comments on Maggie’s picture as Maggie walks through the turnstile first. The screen shows Maggie’s picture that was taken when she was 3 on her first visit to the Disneyland.
TURNSTILE ATTENDANT(CONT’D) Thank you David.
Turning to Maggie.
TURNSTILE ATTENDANT(CONT’D) Cute picture princess.
Turning back to David
TURNSTILE ATTENDANT(CONT’D) You know we’ll need to update this picture soon.
DAVID
It’s super cute, and yes definitely will soon.
EXT.DISNEYLAND MAIN GATES-OPPOSITE SIDE MORNING
DAVID CONT.
Alright Pooh bear, Big Thunder it is.
We follow David and Maggie through the park as they go on various attractions. They are there early so the crowds are low allowing them to practically walk on Big Thunder
Mountain, The Jungle Cruise, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
David times Maggie as she runs through Tarzan’s Treehouse.
EXT. TARZAN’S TREEHOUSE ATTRACTION EXIT 10:30 A.M.
MAGGIE
(out of breath) How’d I do?
DAVID
40 seconds. I think that’s a record.
MAGGIE
I would have been faster but some people got in my way and I could not go around them.
DAVID
When you say people, you mean guest having fun and actually trying to enjoy the attraction?
MAGGIE Yeah.
DAVID
I’m hungry and I am sure you are. How ‘bout we get some Mickey Mouse pancakes for breakfast and text your mom a picture so she can see I am feeding you?
MAGGIE Great.
EXT. RIVERBELLE RESTERAUNT MORNING 11:00
David and Maggie both have the Mickey Mouse pancake breakfast with eggs scrambled. David has sausage and Maggie has bacon. They switch out one piece for the other. David takes a picture of Maggie and breakfast and sends it to Amy. While putting his phone in his pocket David glances at the bill and puts it in his wallet.
DAVID V.O.
Crap, $35 for breakfast and $10 for churros. This is going to be another expensive day I can’t afford.
DAVID
Hey Pooh, why don’t we try and do some Fantasyland attractions before they get too crowded.
MAGGIE Sure.
EXT. BIG THUNDER BBQ RANCH FENCE FRONT SIDE MID MORNING
Maggie and David finish up breakfast, clean up a little and head over to Fantasyland walking the back way around Big Thunder Mountain. They enter the Big Thunder Ranch and BBQ to see the animals. David starts to tell Maggie stories from the time he worked there.
EXT. BIG THUNDER BBQ RANCH FENCE BACK SIDE MID MORNING
DAVID
This is where Mickey Moo was kept.
David is using two fingers and pointing to the stall on the left as they walk in.
DAVID CONT.
I thought it was rather odd serving BBQ beef while she was over hear making noise. You know mooing and all.
MAGGIE
Can I go brush the baby goats in the pin please?
DAVID
Absolutely. When you’re done we’ll head into the house over there. I think you can color in there.
Maggie walks into the pin and brushes the goats. She laughs at the one that stands on top of the small rock in the area. She brushes some of them and decides to pet the one that keeps trying to nibble on her clothes. She does not realize what it is trying to do. When she is finished the two of them walk over, wash their hands and go inside the house where Maggie will color while David walks around the interior of the house checking out the pioneer style farmhouse.
DAYDREAM
David looks out the window of the pioneer farmhouse at the Big Thunder BBQ and imagines how it was when he was working there. He can visualize the crew he worked with, and the way the ranch worked then. The bussers carrying the heavy metal plates while cleaning off the tables. The guest ordering and paying at the cashiers then going with their trays to wagon 1 for their drinks. After that proceed to wagon 2 for their plates with corn, coleslaw, and beans.
Sliding next to the grill where David is picturing himself putting on the meat to fulfill the orders and making the guest smile. He comes out of the day dream seeing that today the ranch is all you can eat and they bring everything to the table rather than the ‘buffeteria’ style that the ranch was known for.
END OF DAYDREAM
INT. PIONEER FARMHOUSE MID DAY
After 20 minutes of coloring Maggie is ready to go on more rides. Maggie shows David what she has colored.
DAVID
Wow, that is awesome. DO you want me to take it home?
MAGGIE Yep.
EXT. PIONEER FARMHOUSE MID DAY
Maggie and David leave the house and ranch and continue on the path towards Fantasyland.
MAGGIE
Dad, why don’t you work here anymore?
DAVID
Well, the short story is that three of us, including me, gave away some free food to someone. That is stealing. Disneyland said I could come back but not to the ranch. When I said no thank you, they told me that we both agreed to me leaving and that I can never work here again.
MAGGIE That’s sad.
DAVID
Lesson is to always think about what you are doing. Like I tell you all the time.
EXT. ENTERING FANTASYLAND MID DAY
David and Maggie enter Fantasyland with Village Haus Restaurant on the right and a gift shop on the left.
DAVID CONT. Look at that only a few people waiting for Casey Jr. Let’s go.
MAGGIE
This time can we be monkeys?
DAVID Sounds great.
EXT. CASEY JR. CIRCUS TRAIN ATTRACTION MID DAY
Maggie and David are in the train car marked monkeys. The cast member shuts the door as if to lock all the different animals in. Maggie and David act like monkeys making noise and rubbing under their armpits and the tops of their heads.
EXT. CASEY JR. CIRCUS TRAIN ATTRACTION EXIT MID DAY
DAVID What’s next?
MAGGIE Dumbo.
DAVID
I will watch you on that one. I don’t want to get dizzy this early in the day.
EXT. DUMBO ATTRACTION MID DAY
David is standing in the shade outside the attraction gate while Maggie is going around on her purple Dumbo. Maggie looks for David every time she goes by and waves. She loves to have Dumbo go as high as he can.
EXT. DUMBO ATTRACTION EXIT MID DAY
MAGGIE That was fun.
DAVID
Alright what’s next?
MAGGIE
Carousel, please.
DAVID
No problem. I will watch you from right over there on the bench by Mr. Toads.
David points with two fingers at a bench in the shade by Mr. Toads Wild Ride.
EXT. MR. TOAD’S WILD RIDE ATTRACTION BENCH A LITTLE AFTER NOON
David sits on the bench while Maggie is on the carousel. She picks Jingles her favorite horse. Maggie and David waive at each other every time she passes. David looks around as the park is getting more crowded the later in the day it gets. Two cast members leaving the Tinkerbell Toy shop carrying Disneyland Resort bags catches David’s eye. Immediately a smile goes across his face.
I.V. DAVID
That’s it. I know how I can get the money. I’m going to rob the Disneyland Resort and I know just the day to do it. During that 24 hour event should give me more then enough time. Now how to do it and with who.
David is caught up in thought of robbing Disneyland that he stops waving to Maggie going by. The sound of her calling DADDY as she is slowing down catches his attention. He waves back and gives her a big smile.
EXT. DAVID’S HOUSE EVENING
David carries a sleeping Maggie from the car into the house.
INT. DAVID’S HOUSE LIVING ROOM EVENING
Amy is watching television while half asleep on the couch. David comes down the stairs after putting Maggie in bed.
DAVID
Hey, sweetie. Why don’t you go to bed?
AMY
How was the park?
DAVID Great.
AMY Did you guys have fun?
DAVID
Always a phenomenal time with her.
AMY
That’s nice. I think you’re right; I am going to go to bed. You coming?
DAVID Not just yet. I need to run to Squishy’s for a bit.
AMY
This late. Is everything alright?
DAVID
Totally, just need to have him show me how to do some computer stuff.
AMY
Because 11 at night is the time you need to learn to sync your phone and computer download.
DAVID Stop it.
AMY Well, why are you going?
DAVID
I have some energy. I am just going to go hang. You know he’s single and always up late; so I’m not bothering anybody.
AMY Are you cheating on me?
DAVID
With Dave; definitely not.
DAVID CONT. No, I am not cheating on you. With anybody. I really am going to just go hang out with him.
David heads over to the door and slightly turns the knob. His other hand in his pocket.
DAVID
Call his cell in a little bit and I will answer to show I’m there.
DAVID(CONT’D) Is it cool if I take your car? It holds more of the ladies.
Amy smacks David’s arm and then gives him a kiss goodnight/goodbye.
DAVID (CONT’D)
I’m kidding. You know it is just more comfortable and not full of aquarium stuff.
AMY
Of course. See you in the morning. Say hi to Dave for me. Love you.
DAVID
Thank you; I will. Love you too.
EXT. DAVE’S APARTMENT LATE EVENING
David knocks on ‘SQUISHY’ DAVE’S door loud enough for Dave to hear but not too loud for the neighbors. A dog barks from a different apartment. Dave is a little heavy ‘squishy’, and white from not going in the sun much.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE
Hey David, what are you doing here so late?
DAVID
Sorry man, there is something that I am excited about and need to talk to you.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE Come in. You know me, I am always up late so no big deal.
INT. DAVE’S APARTMENT LIVING ROOM LATE EVENING
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE Have a seat man.
David cannot sit down and instead paces around the small living room.
DAVID
I have something that I need to run by you.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE Sure, shoot.
DAVID
What do you think about robbing Disneyland?
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE You’ve lost your mind.
DAVID
I’m serious. But I need your help.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE Sure, we will go tomorrow, go to the first cast member at the nearest store and tell them to give us all of their money. If everything goes well we can be bailed out of jail by dinner.
DAVID
No, seriously. I was sitting on the bench watching Maggie on the carousel today and I saw two cast members with the Disneyland bags leaving the toy shop. I know that they were going to cash control. Then it hit me. What if we took the money to cash control for them, only we took it home instead?
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE
I hardly think that one bag of cash from a toy shop is worth the risk.
DAVID
What; no. Not rob one bag from one store but take 24 hours and rob every store, restaurant, and kiosk that we want in both parks.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE That sounds doable. How about we just ride in on unicorns with guns and shoot the place up.
DAVID
I’m serious. I heard the other day that Disneyland Resort is having a 24 hour event. If we could put a team and a plan together, we could do this. No weapons, nothing. Just make it look like an inside job.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE No unicorns?
DAVID
I need your help to pull this off.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE Alright, I’m in. What’s the plan?
DAVID I don’t really have a plan just yet, but more of an outline. It was only about 10 hours ago that this occurred to me.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE So what do you have?
DAVID
I am going to try and get copies of the master plans for Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure from the city. I need you to try and hack into the main computer thingy If you can’t do that this idea is over.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE I can try, but you will have to give me a couple of days at least.
DAVID
That’s fine. I will not make it to the city office for a couple of days anyway.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE When is the event?
DAVID May 24th, so we have less than a month to figure it all out.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE Why this? Why a Disneyland Resort Heist?
(MORE)
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE (CONT’D)
This doesn’t sound like you at all. You love the place, like me. Why would you risk your family, everything?
DAVID
I need to change my life. I need money to do the things that I need to do, to do the things I want to do. For some reason this seemed like the best idea.
DAVID(CONT’D) What about you? Why are you so quick to say yes?
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE
I have an idea that I recently came up with and could definitely use some cash to get it started.
DAVID
And this idea is?
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE MouseMingle.com. It would be a dating site for Disney fans.
DAVID
That sounds awesome. If this works that would be a great retirement plan. I’ll go for the plans. Let me know if you have any luck getting into the server.
Dave walks David to the door. They do a bro hug where they shake with one hand and hug with the other.
DAVID(CONT’D)
This can work. Not a word to anyone about this.
‘SQUISHY’ DAVE Done.
EXT. CITY OF ANAHEIM COUNTY CLERK BUILDING MID-DAY
David is walking towards the City of Anaheim County Clerks Office.
INT. OFFICE MID DAY
OFFICE CLERK
Hi, how can I help you?
DAVID
Hey, I would like some blueprints please.
OFFICE CLERK
No problem; please sign in here and tell me the address of what plans you are looking for and I will go pull them.
DAVID
I am looking for an overall of Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure parks. 1313 South Harbor. . .
OFFICE CLERK
That is not a problem. I already know the address. We get that request quite often. Excuse me, I’ll be right back.
David signs the book while the clerk is away. He paces in a small area, hands in his pocket whistling “When You Wish Upon
A Star”
OFFICE CLERK(CONT’D) Here sir are the plans. Please feel free to look them over; there.
The office clerk points to a set of tables just big enough to view blueprints. David takes the blueprints over to the table and looks them over for a few minutes. David then returns to the clerks desk with the blueprints.
DAVID
Excuse me, but how do I check these out or get copies made?
OFFICE CLERK
I am sorry, (clerk looks down at the signature) Mr. Fish however you are not allowed any duplicating of blueprints without expressed permission from the owner. In this case The Walt Disney Company.
DAVID
What if I don’t have that. Is there any other way?
OFFICE CLERK
I am sorry, there is no other way.
DAVID
What if I was to accidentally drop some money on the floor; how much might it take to get some copies?
OFFICE CLERK
Save your money sir for your lawyer in getting you out of jail for bribing an official government worker. And the cameras in the room will verify my story.
DAVID
No, I don’t mean that, I meant what if someone was to accidently drop some money by the trash can and let’s say someone like yourself was throwing away copies of these particular blueprints and happened to find the money?
OFFICE CLERK
I would say it is time for you to leave. You are more than welcomed to look over the blueprints another day, but without expressed written permission you will never be able to copy them in any way.
DAVID
C’mon you don’t understand; I really need a copy of those. I’m begging. Please.
OFFICE CLERK
Good day sir, Sorry but I simply cannot help you!
EXT. BUILDING MID-DAY
David sits on a bench just outside in a grassy area in front of the building taking a moment to figure out how to get a copy of the plans.
DAVID
(mumbling)
I’m sorry sir, I cannot help you.
You can never get copies of these. Come back another day and look at them.
DAVID(CONT’D)
I will get those copies. I know, Tony! I will ask Tony Baxter if he has some copies.
INT. DAVE’S APARTMENT LIVING ROOM DAY
Dave is wearing boxers and a t-shirt. He sits at the computer with a coffee and starts trying to get into the Walt Disney Company computer.
DAVE V.O.
Now, let’s try the old cast member login.
We see Dave typing on the computer. If we see the screen it is showing a cast I.D. Number and a password that is blocked out. The computer screen shows “Welcome To The HUB”.
DAVE V.O.(CONT’D) Alright, I’m in. Well at least the first part. I’m guessing I have the longest leave of absence in Disneyland Resort history.
Dave scrolls around with mouse to the upper right corner where he uses the pull down menu to select Check Payroll.
DAVE V.O. (CONT’D)
Alrighty, look for Payroll Manager Login. Enter Payroll Credentials. Let’s see if Jocelyn Keilhafner is still the payroll manager.
DAVE V.O.(CONT’D) Yes, thanks Google. The million dollar question, what is her password?
On the computer we see the names as Dave tries to guess what the password might be.
“Walt Disney”
“WaltDisney”
“Mickey Mouse”
“MickeyMouse”
DAVE V.O.(CONT’D) Try opening date.
“July171955”
“Resort”
“HappiestPlaceOnEarth”
“Disneyland”
“Imagineering”
DAVE V.O.(CONT’D) I’ve tried Mickey but what about the rest of the fab five.
“Goofy”
“MinnieMouse”
“DonaldDuck”
“Pluto”
“DaisyDuck”
DAVE V.O.(CONT’D) I know, icons.
“SleepingBeautyCastle”
“Castle”
“SpaceMountain”
“Matterhorn”
“SplashMountain”
DAVE V.O.(CONT’D) Maybe firework shows?
“DreamsComeTrue”
“Wishes”
“DisneylandForever”
“BelieveThere’sMagicintheStars”
“Believe”
“Imagine”
“FantasyInTheSky”
Time laps camera shows that Dave is typing in random words and numbers that are significant to Disney in order to guess the correct one. We see him get up once in awhile, stretch, grab something to eat (at his desk). In the background we can see that the sun has gone down and it is dark. We see that he falls asleep at the desk.
INT. DAVE’S APARTMENT LIVING ROOM DAY
We see Dave get up, having slept at his computer desk in the living room all night. He makes himself a cup of coffee and sits at the desk again.
DAVE V.O.
Come’on. What could it be? Think finance geek. What would a Disney finance geek think would be a great password?
DAVE V.O.(CONT’D) I’ve got it. ScroogeMcDuck.
Dave types in ScroogeMcDuck. The screen goes black and suddenly new options appear on the screen.
“ADD NEW CAST MEMBER”
“EDIT CAST MEMBER”
“EDIT CAST MEMBER PAY RATES”
“TERMINATE CAST MEMBER”
DAVE V.O.(CONT’D) I did it.
Dave text David.
EXT. TONY BAXTER’S HOUSE MID DAY
As David walks toward the front of TONY BAXTER’S house he receives a text. David looks down to check it and it is from Dave.
DAVID V.O.
I’m in!
DAVID V.O.(CONT’D)
Yes he did it. Now let’s see if I can hold up to my end of the plan.
