And you didn't invite me to the wedding?
JEREMY
It was a last minute thing and we didn't
want to make a big deal out of it. Did
you hear what I said before I mentioned
being married to Tara?
STEVE
You mean about the beach house and the
millions of dollars? Yeah, right.
JEREMY
It's true. Cecil and I are buds.
STEVE
Who the hell is Cecil?
JEREMY
Cecil Millikan, the President of
Microcore. Dude, we aired live from the
moon to thirty two countries. Did you not
see that?
STEVE
I remember there was some surprise
broadcast by Microcore, but all the hype
turned me off so I didn't watch it.
JEREMY
I could probably get you a job there if
you're interested. The Asteroid Crusher
shop would be right up your alley. I
might even be able to get you into spacer
training.
STEVE
I'd jump on a plane tomorrow if I could
get into spacer training. I hate my job
at that crappy machine shop. You want to
convince me that you're a millionaire and
Cecil Millikan's bud? Take me to your
leader.
EXT. BRIDGE LEADING TO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS - NIGHT
The doublecar reaches the bridge.
The St. Louis Arch is visible just to the north.
A sign that reads 'WELCOME TO ILLINOIS' can be seen ahead.
PAN DOWN. The glow of a bonfire emanates from the shoreline beneath the St. Louis side of the bridge.
EXT. BENEATH BRIDGE - NIGHT
Three homeless men are sitting around a bonfire, sharing a bottle of cheap wine.
The firelight reflects off the steel framework of the bridge's underside.
Movement can be seen within the framework.
Three Kek burst from the shadows.
The Kek quickly subdue the men before slashing their throats.
They slice up the men as other Kek scramble in and out, one by one, to retrieve various portions of the mens' bodies.
PAN OVER to an old, abandoned building in St. Louis.
Military trucks are surrounding the building.
Dozens of heavily armed, camouflaged soldiers take up positions outside.
All at once, the soldiers storm in.
Yelling and gunfire and squealing Kek can be heard from inside.
The soldiers bring out Kek corpses and pile them into the trucks.
A Kek escapes from the building. It is quickly gunned down and its body retrieved.
INT. ASTEROID CRUSHER MACHINE SHOP - DAY
Steve and Jeremy wait while Penny reviews Steve's job application.
PENNY
Everything looks in order. In short, we
machine out all the mechanical components
