"After the End" Movie Script

Log line: Ex-Walmart cashier, last man on Earth, must conquer addictions to alcohol and drugs, save pregnant girlfriend (last woman on Earth) from alien assassin in order to save human race from becoming extinct.

OPENING TWO SCENES:

EXT. WALMART PARKING LOT - DAY

A Walmart cashier named IVORY BLACKMON -- late 40's, blonde hair, athletic build except for slight paunch, reeks of unused potential -- emerges from the store. Studying screen of his phone, Ivory doesn't notice black Cherokee with texting, distracted mother of three behind the wheel.

Ivory's Spidey sense kicks in at last second. He jerks eyes from phone, stops and jumps back just in time to dodge the Cherokee as it rumbles by main entrance of Walmart.

He shakes head, glares at retreating SUV, returns to phone, hits CALL button.

Damien smith (o.S.)

Hey, get your ass over here. Happy hour started a half hour ago.

Ivory zips around a slow-moving, elderly customer pushing a cart load of groceries. He's almost running for his gray Dodge Intrepid parked in the employee ("associate" in Walmart lingo) parking area.

IVORY

I just finished my shift. I'll get there as soon as humanly possible. What watering hole are you at today?

DAMIEN SMITH (o.S.)

Shangri-La's It's a Chinese place with killer beer made from rice and kick-ass drinks made from ten different liquors and minimal mix.

IVORY

Fuck, that sounds really expensive. I only need two ingredients in my drinks, nine parts tequila, one part lemon sour.

DAMIEN SMITH (o.S.)

They got that here too.

Ivory uses remote key, opens driver's side door.

IVORY

What's the address?

DAMIEN SMITH (o.S.)

Sixteen eighty-six West Third Street.

IVORY

What the hell, that's on the other side of the damn city. And it's rush fucking hour, which means no one's rushing anywhere.

DAMIEN SMITH (o.S.)

Don't worry, dude. You know how it is. They call it happy hour but it lasts like four hours. Just get here when you can.

Ivory reaches over to IGLOO COOLER that sits on floor on passenger's side, slides open top, takes out BOTTLE OF 1800 TEQUILA. A MINNESOTA VIKINGS PLASTIC GLASS stands in beverage holder next to steering wheel. He dumps bunch of ICE CUBES into glass.

IVORY

Luckily I have a mobile wet bar.

EXT. FREEWAY - NIGHT

Six lanes of traffic, three going west, three going east, go nowhere fast. In the middle lane is gray Dodge Intrepid, Ivory fiddles with phone. He dumps more tequila in glass.

He glances to his right, sees a MAN IN BUSINESS SUIT talking on cell phone. On his left, a YOUNG WOMAN IN LOW-CUT TANK TOP and SKIMPY CUT-OFF SHORTS composes text. In car in front of him, two grade-school girls watch "Frozen" on MOUNTED VIDEO MONITOR

Ivory returns focus to hot young female on his left. She bends over, reveals more cleavage. Ivory raises his glass.

iVORY

You go, girly.
