CLOSE ON BILL AND TED'S EYES,
slowly opening and looking around.
BILL/TED
Whoaaaa..........
WIDER ANGLE - IN THE SHRUBS
WHERE THEY "DIED"
They creakily sit up and look
at each other.
BILL
Dude . . . we're back.
This part is the same as the
final movie dialogue-wise, except instead of just
Death dropping down, all the historical figures drop from the sky.
- Leonardo Da Vinci and
Sitting Bull land in the shrubs.
- Joe Louis lands on his
feet and holds out his arms for Betsy Ross, whom he catches.
- Moses lands on a
tree-branch. Albert Einstein lands right next to him. The branch slowly breaks
and the two slide to the ground.
- Finally the Grim Reaper
lands on his butt with a thud.
The guys start to gather the
Figures.
TED
Welcome to the present, Great
People.
BILL
Okay. First on the agenda: Get
back to town.
They all start up a winding
path, the Grim Reaper, hobbling at the rear, and we CUT TO:
EXT. VAN - MOMENTS LATER -
FROM BEHIND
The van squeals away, shooting
back toward the road.
After a moment, we HEAR people
SNIFFING, and then:
TED (V.O.)
Dude. What's that smell?
More sniffs.
BILL (V.O.)
Ted, I think it's us,
dude.
We've been dead for twelve hours.
TED (V.O.)
Oh yah. On the way in, we
better stop and clean up.
BILL (V.O.)
Yah. That way we can call the
babes and tell ‘em we're okay.
They hit the main road and we
CUT TO:
INT. GAS STATION BATHROOM - A
BIT LATER
A big, burly TRUCKER enters,
sniffs the air, and frowns.
TRUCKER
Who died in here?
Ted, at the sink drying his
face, looks over at the Trucker.
TED
I did, dude!
And he exits into -
THE GAS STATION MINI-MART
Where he crosses past Moses,
who is staring intently into a cup, fingers extended, parting a bowl of chili.
TED
Most impressive, Moses.
And Ted continues, passing Joe
Louis, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Betsy Ross, who are all in line, stocking up with
goodies - Pringles, Beef Jerky, Fiddle Faddle, etc.
As Sitting Bull joins the line
with two microwave Burritos and hands one to Betsy Ross -
BETSY ROSS
Thank you, Sitting Bull.
- Ted continues crossing to
Bill, who is standing at a PAY PHONE, wiping himself off witha handi-wipe.
TED
Any luck?
Bill shakes his head.
BILL
They're not at their place,
or at ours.
TED
How about my dad's?
Maybe
they went to talk to Missy.
BILL
Good thinkin', dude. I'll
try them next.
Ted nods, then HEARING a
SNEEZE, turns.
IN THE MEDICINE AISLE
The Grim Reaper swallows a
mouthful of liquid Comtrex, then puts the cap back on and replaces the bottle.
TED
Death. We gotta pay for
that, dude.
Ted picks up the
now-half-empty bottle of Comtrex and continues toward the counter.
TED
C'mon, dude.
GRIM REAPER
(as Ted pulls him)
What?
I didn't do anything.
They cross past Einstein, who
is just opening a Pudding Cup.
TED
Excellent choice, Albert
Einstein.
Just don't lick the -
EINSTEIN
Ow!
TED
. . . Told you.
And as Ted continues with the
Reaper toward the counter, we CUT TO:
EXT. SAN DIMAS STREET - LATE
AFTERNOON
Evil Bill and Ted tear around
a corner in their by-now even more battered Porsche.
INT. PORSCHE - SPEEDING
Evil Ted points out the
window.
EVIL TED
There's one, dude!
Evil Bill swerves the car
madly. We HEAR a CAT YOWLING -
EVIL BILL
Just missed!
- and then Evil Ted motions
to a house up ahead.
EVIL TED
Dude, we're there!
EVIL BILL
Okay. I got a idea. Take off
your seatbelt.
EVIL TED
Outstanding!
They unlatch their belts.
And
then, as Evil Bill deliberately steers the speeding car DIRECTLY INTO THE CURB
-
EVIL BILL AND TED
Fly through the windshield and
SHOOT -
THROUGH THE AIR
- playing an excited AIR
GUITAR as they sail OUT OF FRAME.
INT. LOGAN HOUSE - SAME
The Princesses are indeed
sitting in the living room with Missy.
ELIZABETH
They just seem so different.
MISSY
(nods)
I know. I had a strange
experience with them myself -
Suddenly, we HEAR yelling
(Whoooooaaa!") and, with a CRASH, Evil Bill and Ted fly through the Living
Room window and slide across the floor, smashing head-first into the fireplace.
They brush themselves off and
stand up.
EVIL BILL
How's it goin', lady
humans?
EVIL TED
(to Missy; leering)
Hey, Mom, how about a kiss
where it counts?
And he leans toward Missy,
mouth open, tongue flopping out.
Missy slaps him.
MISSY
Ted!
EVIL BILL
(to Evil Ted; pleased)
It's your mom, dude!
Evil Ted nods. He and Evil
Bill grab Joanna and Elizabeth.
EVIL TED
Ready for the big night,
babes?
He grabs Missy's keys off
the table, and with Evil Bill, starts to drag the terrified Princesses out the
door.
Just then, however, Captain
Logan appears in the hallway, looking half-dazed, obviously still recovering
from his "possession" earlier this morning. He looks around the room,
at Evil Ted.
LOGAN
Ted, what the hell is
going on here?
EVIL TED
(leaning toward Logan)
Confidentially, Dad - I'm
an evil robot.
EVIL BILL
He totally is, dude!
And Evil Bill and Ted again
start toward the door with the struggling Princesses in tow.
Captain Logan steps toward
Evil Ted.
LOGAN
Dammit, Ted -
But before Logan can do a
thing, Evil Ted grabs him, picks him up, spins him, and, cheered on by Evil
Bill, chucks him right into the (unlit) fireplace.
Missy, shocked, passes out.
The Princesses gasp and do the same.
Evil Bill and Ted do an
enthusiastic AIR GUITAR.
Then, just as they are about
to exit, the PHONE RINGS. Evil Bill picks it up.
The dialogue between Bill
& Ted and Evil Bill & Ted on the phone is the
same until:
EVIL BILL
(back into phone)
Good luck getting back into
town, losers.
And he hangs up.
Evil Ted removes the BLACK BOX
which the Rebel Leader gave him in the future . . .
He opens it. A golden light
radiates from within. Ted reaches inside, lifting out the three OBELISKS and the
glowing ORB. Evil Bill looks at it and smiles.
Then Evil Ted lays the
Obelisks on the floor and releases the Orb. There is a FLASH, and suddenly -
THREE FIGURES
Begin to take shape
before Evil Bill and Ted, who watch with growing evil smiles.
FROM OUTSIDE THE HOUSE
We SEE the variously-shaped
silhouettes forming.
Then, we SEE Evil Bill's
silhouette reach into his pocket and extend what looks like car keys.
EVIL BILL
You know what to do.
And, on their cruel, cackly
AIR GUITAR, we CUT TO:
INT. MINI-MART - SAME
Bill stares at the telephone
receiver, shakes his head.
BILL
That other me is a non-dick.
BILL/TED
(beat)
Not.
The guys nod, and begin to
herd the Figures outside and we CUT TO:
INT. VAN - MOVING - A LITTLE
WHILE LATER
Screaming back towards town.
Bill drives. The Grim Reaper sits in the passenger seat next to him.
In the back, Ted is conferring
with the Figures. They refer to a very extensive DIAGRAM which has been taped to
the side wall of the van (hand-drawn by Ted and Leonardo - and we can tell who
drew what).
TED
So, Albert Einstein, how much
energy do you think we'll need?
ALBERT EINSTEIN
How much could you get me?
Ted looks at Moses, who shrugs
and looks up.
MOSES
I'll do my best.
Ted nods, turns to Sitting
Bull.
TED
Dude. How high can you shoot
an arrow?
Sitting Bull smiles
confidently. Ted nods, rises.
TED
Remember, when we get there
we're
gonna have to work fast.
The Figures all nod, then
continue working on the diagram as Ted heads -
UP FRONT
Where Bill turns to him.
BILL
(nodding back)
Everybody ready?
TED
I think so.
The Grim Reaper looks over at
the guys and sniffs, obviously still feeling a bit insecure.
GRIM REAPER
Excuse me . . . but what
would
you like me to do?
The guys looks at each other.
TED
You, uh . . . uh . . .
BILL
. . . You ref.
TED
Yah, that's really
important, Grim Reaper.
The Grim Reaper, hurt, turns
away, obviously not buying it. Ted shakes his head, then notices something out
the front window. Bill, seeing it also, suddenly tightens, slows down.
BILL
What is that?
UP AHEAD
Standing in the middle of the
road, silhouetted in the near-darkness, are the THREE FIGURES we saw taking
shape at the Logan house:
One is TALL and pear-shaped,
we very big ears . . . Another SMALL and withered, seated in a chair . .
. The last STOUT and powerfully built, hands on hips . . .
And behind them is the
PORSCHE, parked at an angle in the road.
INT. VAN
As Bill slows to a stop:
BILL
Looks like a roadblock.
TED
But that's not the police.
BILL
No, it's . . . it's . . .
He flicks on his headlights,
and suddenly both Bill and Ted scream:
BILL/TED
No way!!
For - -
IN THE ROAD BEFORE THEM
Stand their three worst
fears - - COLONEL OATS, GRANNY S. PRESTON, AND THE EASTER BUNNY.
Oats glowers at the guys and
bellows:
OATS
Yes way
you damned pitiful pussies!
Now get out of that van! I mean now!
And, along with the other
Fears, he starts toward the van.
INSIDE
Bill and Ted stare ahead,
ghost-white, trembling with terror. The Historical Figures behind to gather
behind them.
TED
(barely able to speak)
Better do something, dude.
BILL
(same)
Yah . . .
Then, suddenly, Bill throws
the van in reverse and hits the gas, causing the six Historical Figures to lurch
forward, crushing into each other against the seat-backs.
Then Bill cranks the wheel and
the Figures topple into the back as the van begins -
A WILD 360 DEGREE TURN
Which send the Grim Reaper
flying out of his seat and landing right in Sitting Bull's lap.
BILL
Completes the turn,
straightens out the van, hits the gas and drives straight at -
THE THREE FEARS
Who hold their ground for a
beat, then, at the last minute, leap (or, in the case of Granny S. Preston,
roll) out of the way.
INT. VAN
The Figures, pulling
themselves up, chatter excitedly as Ted, hugely relieved, looks over at Bill.
TED
Nice work, Bill. I think we
lost ‘em.
But Bill, looking in the
rear-view mirror, shakes his head.
BILL
I don't think so.
And sure enough -
IN THE WAKE OF THE VAN
The Three Fears have hurried
to the side of the road and are jumping into Evil Bill and Ted's stolen
Porsche.
The Easter Bunny leaps into
the driver's seat, Granny S. Preston is lifted into the passenger seat
(wheelchair and all), and Colonel Oates dives into the back.
OATS
(to the Easter Bunny)
Step on it, you damned
seven-foot hopping pink bastard!!
The Easter Bunny hits the gas
and the Porsche squeals into the road and after -
THE VAN
Inside of which, Ted -
surrounded by the Figures - peers out the back window.
TED
They're catching up!!
BILL
Hold on!
And, with a sudden jerk of the
wheel, Bill whips the van around a sharp corner. The Grim Reaper lurches off the
wheel-well and lands in Leonardo Da Vinci's lap as -
THE PORSCHE
Follows, gaining speed.
INSIDE THE PORSCHE
As the Easter Bunny, ears
flapping in the breeze, accelerates after the van, Colonel Oats leans forward
and jabs a finger at Granny S. Preston.
OATS
You! Get out and do your
thing!! Now!!
Granny S. Preston braces
herself and Oats and the Easter Bunny push her -
OUT OF THE PORSCHE
Where her wheelchair hits the
ground, bounces once or twice, and then continues along behind the speeding
vehicle - at 75 miles per hour.
INSIDE THE PORSCHE
Oats feeds a lead-rope back to
Granny S. Preston, who grabs onto it.
INT. BILL AND TED'S VAN
Ted, still looking back,
shakes his head in disbelief.
TED
No way . . .
(then, up front)
It's your Granny,
dude.
Bill grips the wheel,
white-knuckled.
BILL
Oh no.
And now Bill's eyes widen as
-
THE PORSCHE
Suddenly veers to one side,
causing -
GRANNY S. PRESTON
To swing around like a
waterskier and gain speed, ending up nearly even with the van . . .
Granny S. Preston looks over
at Bill, her white hair blowing straight back, her tiny features shaking up and
down.
GRANNY S. PRESTON
Hello Bill.
Terrified, Bill swerves to the
right and -
THE VAN'S TIRES
Kick into some dirt, near the
edge of a steep drop-off.
GRANNY S. PRESTON
Swings closer to the van and
points to her cheek.
GRANNY S. PRESTON
How about that kiss?
BILL
Veers to the right again -
this time even more sharply.
BILL
No!
IN THE PORSCHE
Colonel Oats yells at the
Easter Bunny.
OATS
Take her closer you great
bouncing egg-delivering behemoth!!
The Easter Bunny swerves
closer, causing -
GRANNY S. PRESTON
To do the same.
INSIDE THE SPEEDING VAN
Bill, attempting to avoid his
hideous Granny, now veers perilously close to the drop-off.
Ted pushes his way through the
now-nervous Figures and hurries:
UP FRONT
Where he joins Bill, looking
out the window at Granny S. Preston, who is still pointing to her cheek.
TED
(over the din)
You gotta do it, dude!
You
gotta face her!
BILL
But that moustache . .
.
TED
Bill, you got to!
Behind the guys, the Figures
nod.
EINSTEIN
(leaning forward)
Please. Kiss your granny,
dude.
Bill looks over at Ted and we
SMASH CUT TO:
A SECOND LATER - CLOSE ON BILL'S
FACE
Wind-blown and terrified.
A WIDER SHOT
Reveals that Bill is being
dangled out the side of the van toward Granny S. Preston.
INT. VAN - SAME
Ted, now driving, looks at Joe
Louis and Sitting Bull, who are fishing Bill out the window.
TED
A little further, dudes!
They lower him a bit further
and now -
BILL AND GRANNY S. PRESTON
Are close enough for Bill to
crane his neck, close his eyes, swallow, and kiss his Granny square on
the cheek.
She looks at him and smiles .
. .
GRANNY S. PRESTON
Now that wasn't so bad, was
it?
. . . and then DISAPPEARS in a
whir of SPARKS and WIRES.
Bill, immensely relieved, is
reeled back into -
THE VAN
Where everyone applauds him
for a moment, until - THUMP - there is the sudden sound of something large
and heavy landing on the roof.
Ted looks up.
TED
What was that?
Bill shakes his head. The
Figures look up at the roof. The large heavy object begins moving and we CUT TO:
Continue
