paranoid android
director: joseph, proud radiohead fan

I'm back to write a Paranoid Android script that's a sequel to the Fitter Happier one since it involves the same man.

Beginning Setting:
Early morning in a suburban neighborhood, a common middle class house, the master bedroom.
Song opening: Sleeping man in his bed, alarm clock flashing, opens his eyes.
Please could you stop the noise I'm trying to get some rest?
He closes his eyes again.
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head.
He sits up, rubs his red eyes, looks at a picture of a woman and little girl on the wall.
Phone rings, he answers it.
What's that?
Skip ahead to him getting ready from work, he's putting on his suit.
When I am king you will be first against the wall.
Shot of him in his car, stuck in traffic.
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all.
Steps into work, (everyone is dressed the same) goes straight to his cubicle, looks at a piece of paper on his desk, reads it, he's is troubled over it.
What's that?
He grabs the piece of paper and gets up.
As he walks down the hall everyone he passes looks at him with a kind of fear.
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly.
He walks into the boss's office, shuts the door behind him.
Kicking squealing Gucci little piggy.
The boss greets him how he greets everyone he doesn't know at all: with a big smile and handshake.
They both take a seat.
They chat for a bit, the man gets flustered and starts panicking because of what he is hearing, starts to look at the boss with anger. Eventually our hero jumps up in rage and starts to choke the boss until he's dead.
You don't remember......i guess he does (this struggle last the entire length of the loud section after these lyrics)
Our hero runs out of the building at top speed.
Thom Yorke moaning his "Aaaaahhhhh" bit.
The people are looking at him in shock until they find out what he's done, they notify the building security and police.
The man is running down the city street, the police are a block behind him.
Rain down....
He comes to a parking ramp building, finds that stairs, climbs them up to the top floor and realizes he can't get away. (the top floor has no roof or ceiling)
That's it sir your leaving.
The man gets up on the rail, looking down at the street so far below that is becoming crowded with reports.
The police finally catch up to him, he turns around to speak to them.
The panic, the vomit.
They beg him not to jump down, he waves good-bye to them and jumps down.
God loves his children
Falls gracefully down onto a reporter's van, dies.
God loves his children YEAH!
The rest of the song the camera view goes from a view if his smiling face to an overhead view of the city.
End.

for the prequel, see fitter happier.
