'Ubernatural' - Original Script

Here be the orginal ten-page scipt for my short. This is the version with the brothers Sam and Dean!

Sort of glad that I knocked it dow to the final product, because organising that many actors (including m'self) would've been a bit hectic...Plus, one or two of the bro's lines I was never really satifisfied with...

Nevertheless, here you go! ^^



1. INT. Computer Room – College – Evening
In the darkened room, one light is seen; it partially illuminates a FIGURE sat behind a PC. He TAPS away at the keyboard, creating a Blog post.

On the screen, we see the term ‘FAN-FICTION’.

The FIGURE LAUGHS MANIACALLY.

TITLE CARD:
‘ÜBERNATURAL’

2. INT. Computer Room – College – Day
A door CREAKS open. Brothers DEAN & SAM cautiously walk in with their angel CASTIEL. Scanning devices in hand, they slowly look around.

Dean SNIFFS the air:

DEAN
Smell that? We’re in the right place; Sulphur.

SAM
Sorry, that was uh...That was me...

DEAN
Dude...!

He covers his mouth with his sleeve.

CASTIEL
I’ve smelled worse.

Dean reacts before he continues to SCAN. He passes one PC that gives off a high reading. He indicates to Castiel:

DEAN (CONT’D)
Cas! This one!

Castiel steps over, turning the PC on, eying it with interest:

CASTIEL
‘Vista’...

SAM
They’re still using Vista?!

CASTIEL
What’s wrong with it?

DEAN
Well, just about everything...!

CASTIEL
It doesn’t look that different from Sam’s.

SAM
No, no...Mine’s 7; hell-of-a lot better!

CASTIEL
Ah...Why did they call it 7...?

SAM
I dunno...Seventh generation operating system, I guess.

CASTIEL
No. The others weren’t 1-6, so why is this 7...?

Pause. Dean lights up with an idea:

DEAN
Seven Deadly Sins! There you go, Sammy; you to a T!

He PATS Sam’s arm as he strolls past.

SAM
Ah, no! Dean! Could be the Seven Virtues!

Dean stops. He walks back toward Sam with a puzzled look. His face then stretches as he ‘realises’:

DEAN
Oh my God...!

He turns off the pretend-patronising:

                   DEAN (CONT’D)
We’re talking about a computer...!

SAM
I hate it when you do that.

DEAN
And I hate wasting time trying to figure out which computer to salt ‘n’ burn...Or exercise...!

They briefly stare each other out for a moment:

SAM
Do you want me to hack it or not?

DEAN
(Sarcastically)
Hmm, ‘do I want you to help get rid a demonic presence’...

Sam has already started logging into the machine

DEAN (CONT’D)
(Still sarcastic)
Well gee, I’m gonna phone a friend! Cas; should he do it?’

CASTIEL
Yes.

DEAN
(Still sarcastic)
Why thank you; and that’s my final answer! ‘Yes’!

Sam has sat down:


SAM
Good...I’m in! You done?

DEAN
Nope...!

SAM
Whoa...

He looks back and forth between Dean and Castiel before looking back at the screen.

CASTIEL
What is it?

SAM
Someone’s been having fun...! A lot of fun...!

Dean walks around to see what’s on the screen:

DEAN
Hey, looks like I get all the fun!

He reads a bit more:

DEAN (CONT’D)
With...

He looks up at Castiel, who looks back with confusion:

DEAN (CONT’D)
Ever heard of the phrase ‘Touched by an Angel’?

Dean tries to indicate to Castiel what he’s referring to, but Castiel isn’t getting it.

DEAN (CONT’D)
Forget it.

 SAM
Looks like it’s on that site we came across some years ago...Hell Hound’s Lair.

CASTIEL
What’s that about?

SAM
People submit and report legends and stories about supernatural stuff...Looks like some of our fans             got in on the action...!

DEAN
But why would you post it on that site? It’s Tumblr material, right?

SAM
Hm...Last time we came across Hell Hound’s Lair, it involved a Tibetan Tulpa. The fiction became more real the more people read it.

DEAN
Whoa, you’re saying Cas and I are gonna...?

SAM
You seem close enough already; maybe you’ll enjoy it!

DEAN
Well, thanks for your advice, Dr. Feelgood! Delete it!

Pause.

SAM
Alright; fun while it lasted...

A few TAPS of the keyboard and Sam suddenly FLINCHES from HITTING return.

SAM (CONT’D)
Son of a...!

DEAN
What was that?

Sam looks closer:

SAM
Protection...Can’t delete it!

DEAN
Oh great...!

SAM
Yep...We have accursed fan-fiction more evil than Vista!

Suddenly, CROWLEY appears in the chair behind them, LAUGHING sardonically:

CASTIEL
You...!

CROWLEY
Oh Sammy...Try not to say ‘evil’ in such an archaic fashion. It’s all relative, really...

Beat.

CROWLY (CONT’D)
Mind you I would say that, wouldn’t I...? But listen: inconvenient, inconsiderate, unhelpful, disagreeable, conflicting, contrasting, unkind, etcetera...Yeah. But ‘evil’?

Beat.
 
CROWLEY (CONT’D)
Alright, let’s look in terms of ‘good & bad’; as King of Hell I’m in charge of punishing thousands upon thousands of souls every day for doing ‘bad’ things. Doesn’t that technically make me ‘good’?

DEAN
Yeah, good at gettin’ your ass kicked!

With a casual flick of his fingers, Crowley THROWS Dean across the room...He CRASHES into the wall/door:

CROWLEY
Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of your arse getting kicked!

Sam helps Dean up:

SAM
You alright?

Dean GROANS:

DEAN
Super...Can’t you tell by my sunny disposition?

Castiel’s clenched hand starts to glow a bright white as the angel keeps glaring at Crowley:

CASTIEL
You harm him again...I dare you.

CROWLEY
Oh that’s right. You want him all to yourself, don’t you?

The smite-light disappears. Castiel turns to Dean:


CASTIEL
Do I...?

Beat.
DEAN
You feelin’ anything?

CASTIEL
No.

Dean has a slightly awkward pause:

DEAN
Wanna try it...?

Castiel’s reaction is enough to tell Dean ‘no’!

Crowley looks back & forth between them both, before SIGHING:

CROWLEY
Alright, you two should be tearing into each other. Where’s my writer?!

Suddenly, GABRIEL appears next to Crowley:

GABRIEL
You called...?

SAM
Gabriel? You wrote the fan-fic...?

GABRIEL
Oh yeah...Even the King of Hell gets bored, sometimes...

CROWLEY
Yep! And when I do, I like to annoy you three! Especially you, Cas...

CASTIEL
I wondered why I’ve been hearing screaming lullabies every night...!


GABRIEL
Problem is; when you’re bored, you should see me in person!

CROWLEY
What’s that supposed to mean...?

GABRIEL
Read on, Sammy!

Sam starts reading again. After a beat, he looks surprised:

SAM
Oh! I see whatcha did there!

He LAUGHS. Dean looks at the screen too:

SAM (CONT’D)
I see what Crowley did too! May be the King of Hell, but certainly ain’t the dominant one!

Crowley looks up at Gabriel:

CROWLEY
You put the curse on us instead?!

GABRIEL
You didn’t say what part of it to curse...!

DEAN
Either way, the hits on the site are going through the roof!

Crowley’s look at Gabriel softens, slightly:

CROWLEY
Actually...

Gabriel puts his fingers on Crowleys lips:
 
GABRIEL
Shh...You can tell me after we’ve                    been to Heaven and back.

CROWLEY
(Double-Take)
Wait, what? Heaven?!

Gabriel places his hand on Crowley’s shoulder, emitting a bright white light. Crowley reaches out:

CROWLEY (CONT’D)
Noooo!

The light brightens up the room for a brief moment. Sam, Dean and Castiel see that they’ve disappeared. There’s a pause:

DEAN
Gabriel likes Crowley?!

SAM
Whatever happened to ‘dinner and a movie’?

DEAN
Heh...Ah well, back to business...With no King for while, Hell’s gonna get a little wild...!

They start to leave.

CASTIEL
Dean, what about us?

Dean mockingly LAUGHS before suddenly switching:

DEAN
No...C’mon, let’s go.

They leave, the door SHUTTING behind them.

BLACKOUT.

THE END
