Tight-fisted Alien
A Screenplay by Digitiam
INT. CAIRO - AFTERNOON

Understanding Teacher MR. RADY SMITH is arguing with generous Doctor MISS SANDRA DRAKE. RADY tries to hug SANDRA but she shakes him off.

RADY
Please Sandra, don't leave me.
SANDRA
I'm sorry Rady, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces his fears head on, instead of running away.
RADY
I am such a person!
SANDRA frowns.

SANDRA
I'm sorry, Rady. I just don't feel excited by this relationship any more.
SANDRA leaves.

RADY sits down, looking defeated.

Moments later, articulate Doctor MR HEMDAN SAMY barges in looking flustered.

RADY
Goodness, Hemdan! Is everything okay?
HEMDAN
I'm afraid not.
RADY
What is it? Don't keep me in suspense...
HEMDAN
It's ... an alien ... I saw an evil alien frighten a bunch of kittens!
RADY
Defenseless kittens?
HEMDAN
Yes, defenseless kittens!
RADY
Bloomin' heck, Hemdan! We've got to do something.
HEMDAN
I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start.
RADY
You can start by telling me where this happened.
HEMDAN
I was...
HEMDAN fans himself and begins to wheeze.

RADY
Focus Hemdan, focus! Where did it happen?
HEMDAN
Luxor! That's right - Luxor!
RADY springs up and begins to run.

EXT. A ROAD - CONTINUOUS

RADY rushes along the street, followed by HEMDAN. They take a short cut through some back gardens, jumping fences along the way.

INT. LUXOR - SHORTLY AFTER

RAAFEY DENICE a tight-fisted alien terrorises two kittens.

RADY, closely followed by HEMDAN, rushes towards RAAFEY, but suddenly stops in his tracks.

HEMDAN
What is is? What's the matter?
RADY
That's not just any old alien, that's Raafey Denice!
HEMDAN
Who's Raafey Denice?
RADY
Who's Raafey Denice? Who's Raafey Denice? Only the most tight-fisted alien...
