    Date: Mon, 8 Aug 1994 00:33:36 GMT

    The following is a script written as a parody of the TV series
    "The X-Files". It is called, "The X-Y-Z Files" and is about Agent Moldy
    and his partner Agent Sullied and their investigation of a UFO landing in
    a nearby park. Of course a slight miss-communication from Deep Throat
    sends the investigation off and running!
    The parody will be filmed (on Hi8 video) at the end of August 1994 and plans are to have it ready by October-November at the latest. Give it a read-through and let us know what you think; anything you think might
    make a good addittion, let us know, there's still time to work it in!

    X-Y-Z Files - July 19, 1994 - Draft 5 X-Y-Z-FILES Vers. 05

    1 (Insert opening teaser scene)

    2 CREDIT SEQUENCE

    3 INT. - MOLDY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

    FADE IN:

    We pan across an unkept apartment as we
    hear the film "Invasion of the Silicon Girls"
    (1978 Vers.) in the background. In
    particular, the scene where Veronica and
    Betty fight off the beach ball alien. (Or
    something similar).
    Moldy is seated in a chair in front of a
    television. He holds a remote control in his
    hand as he sleeps lightly.
    The PHONE RINGS; Moldy bolts awake and
    picks up the receiver next to the chair.

    MOLDY
    Moldy.

    DEEP THROAT
    Agent Moldy?

    MOLDY
    Deep Throat? What is it, where are you?

    DEEP THROAT
    Are you watching television right now?

    MOLDY
    Yes, why?

    DEEP THROAT
    Turn it to channel 6.

    Moldy points the remote at the television and
    stops on channel 5 instead of channel 6, as
    instructed.

    MOLDY
    Are you still there?
    (pause)
    Hello?... Hello?

    Moldy hangs the phone up realizing Deep
    Throat has hung up. He gets up out of the
    chair and moves closer to the television as
    he watches and listens to a video segment on
    a UFO crash in a park.

    MOLDY
    (to himself)
    This is incredible. I know where this
    park is.


    4 INT. - SULLIED'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

    Sullied is sleeping soundly when the phone on
    the bedside table rings loudly, waking her
    from a deep sleep. She picks up the receiver
    after two rings.

    SULLIED
    Hello.

    MOLDY
    Sullied, get over here quick.

    SULLIED
    Moldy, I hope this isn't another moon
    rock sample.

    MOLDY
    No, this is bigger. I can't talk over
    the phone.

    SULLIED
    What monuments on Mars?
    (hangs up)

    Sullied gets up and begins to dress quickly.

    5 INT. - MOLDY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

    Sullied knocks on Moldy's door, half asleep.
    Moldy opens the door with enthusiasm enough
    to make anybody sick.

    MOLDY
    Sullied, get in here quick, somebody may
    have been following you.

    He motions her inside and closes the door.

    SULLIED
    Not likely Moldy, they're probably
    asleep at 3 a.m..

    MOLDY
    I was watching television and the phone
    rang.

    We hear "Invasion of the Silicon Girls" has
    returned to the television.


    SULLIED
    I wonder what the odds of that happening
    are? You answered it? Wasn't it bugged
    Moldy?

    MOLDY
    I thought of that.

    Sullied rolls her eyes; obviously Moldy
    didn't get her point. He continues on...


    MOLDY
    I picked up the phone and Deep Throat
    spoke to me.

    There is a pause as Sullied contemplates.

    SULLIED
    Moldy why don't you find some
    companionship, like maybe a sheep!

    She starts to leave and he stops her.

    MOLDY
    No, no wait a minute, you don't
    understand. Deep Throat is an anonymous
    Government contact who has given us
    leads in the past.

    SULLIED
    You mean there's more like you in the
    Bureau?

    MOLDY
    You can't imagine how many people
    believe.....

    SULLIED
    So what did this Mr. Throat tell you.

    MOLDY
    It wasn't that he told me anything. It
    was what he showed me on television.

    Sullied looks over at the television and sees
    "Invasion".

    SULLIED
    He told you to watch this,
    how.....educational.

    MOLDY
    No, no. He told me to watch a specific
    channel that was featuring a news story
    on a nearby UFO crash site.

    SULLIED
    And?

    MOLDY
    And Sullied, I know where that site is.
    If I could find even a small fragment of
    evidence it could blow the lid off all
    of the cover-ups.


    6 EXT. - PARK CRASH SITE - DAY

    Moldy and Sullied are walking across the
    grass in the park where the supposed crash
    site was.

    MOLDY
    (Looking at the grass)
    Look for the ship's landing imprints,
    Sullied.

    Feeling ridiculous and a bit embarrassed,
    Sullied looks at Moldy peering through the
    grass and decides to take action. She looks
    down at her foot and looks at the grass. She
    shrugs and stamps her foot down hard,
    pressing a small spot down. She walks a few
    inches away and calls out to Moldy.

    SULLIED
    Moldy, I think I found something.
    Moldy rushes over to her side.

    MOLDY
    What is it?

    She points to the mark she had just made in
    the grass. He bends down and examines it.

    SULLIED
    Is that what we're looking for?

    MOLDY
    This is incredible. This is the same
    configuration of other craft landing
    gear. Look at the shape of the imprint.

    As he's looking Sullied smiles to herself.

    MOLDY
    Wait.

    He spots a piece of tin-foil and picks it up.

    SULLIED
    What did you find?

    He stands, holding up the foil.

    MOLDY
    I'm not positive, but I think this is a
    piece of the ship's protective shields.
    The heat on impact must have been vast,
    look how this metal bends now.

    She takes the piece from him and looks at it.

    SULLIED
    Moldy, this is tin-foil.

    MOLDY
    How can you say that?

    SULLIED
    Well as I exhale, my tongue and palate
    form sounds, these sounds form words,
    these words form sentences. That Moldy
    is how I can say that.

    He takes the piece back.

    MOLDY
    I have to get it analyzed back at the
    lab.

    SULLIED
    Moldy, it's foil. You are having a
    trained technician take his time away
    from billion-dollar projects to examine
    a piece of tin-foil?

    MOLDY
    We've got to be sure.

    He turns and continues looking around.

    SULLIED
    Oh, Moldy?

    MOLDY
    Yes?

    He turns and sees her lift her right hand,
    point at him, and make a sound from her
    throat as her eyes get wide with shock (the
    warning call in "Invasion")

    We see the fear in Moldy. She stops and
    begins to laugh.

    MOLDY
    That is not funny.

    SULLIED
    Yes it is.

    MOLDY
    Come on, maybe we can find some eye
    witnesses.

    7 EXT. - PARK - DAY

    They walk through the park and see a park
    bench with a homeless man sleeping. They
    approach him.

    SULLIED
    Moldy, be careful.

    MOLDY
    I will.
    Sullied walks out of camera range while
    looking for evidence.

    He starts to lift a newspaper that is
    covering the homeless man.

    HOMELESS MAN
    What? Who is it?

    MOLDY
    It's just me sir. Mind if I ask you a
    few questions?

    HOMELESS MAN
    Who are you?

    MOLDY
    Agent Moldy FBI.

    HOMELESS MAN
    Let me see some ID.

    Moldy hands the homeless man his wallet.

    HOMELESS MAN
    Who's she?

    MOLDY
    Agent Sullied FBI.

    While agent Moldy looks away (at agent
    Sullied) the homeless man cleans his wallet
    out.

    HOMELESS MAN
    So what do you want agent Mowgli, you
    looking for that big blue bear?

    MOLDY
    Why have you seen one?

    The homeless man look puzzled at Moldy.
    Sullied returns, looking mad about wasting
    her time.

    MOLDY
    Have you seen any strange lights in the
    night sky?

    HOMELESS MAN
    That depends on how much I've drank.

    MOLDY
    Have you ever seen a UFO?

    HOMELESS MAN
    Is there money in seeing that stuff?

    MOLDY
    Possibly.

    Moldy takes out his wallet and finds out he
    has no money.

    MOLDY
    Sullied pay the man $20.00.

    Sullied looks shocked, but pays homeless man.

    HOMELESS MAN
    Oh sure. They come down here in the
    park all the time.

    MOLDY
    When was the last time you saw one land?

    SULLIED
    Moldy, come on. He didn't see anything.

    MOLDY
    Give him a minute Sullied. When was the
    last time?

    HOMELESS MAN
    Time? Uh..couple nights ago. Damn
    place looked like it was going to be
    overrun by those runty little foreigners
    with big eyes.

    Moldy considers, then stands up.

    SULLIED
    A fool and his money are soon parted.

    MOLDY
    Yea I know, the Bureau doesn't reimburse
    bribes, and you were the one who gave
    him the money.
    I have a person who will identify this
    sample for us.
    SULLIED
    Who?

    MOLDY
    She's an expert in the field of UFO's,
    parapsychology, and utilizing Spam for
    self defense. Her name is Dr.
    Schnozzendripper.

    SULLIED
    Schnozzendripper?

    MOLDY
    Look, you head back to the car first.
    That way we'll spot anybody who might be
    following us.

    Sullied shoots him a "you've got to be
    kidding" look. She realizes he is serious
    and starts to head back.

    We see her turn around and stop. She looks
    across the street from the park and it occurs
    to her just how small the park really is.

    SULLIED
    (to herself)
    You couldn't land a Buick in this park.

    She continues on as Moldy starts behind her
    many yards away.

    8 INT. - CAR - DAY

    Sullied is inside the car as Moldy gets in
    the drivers side.

    MOLDY
    I think we should ask around the local
    neighborhood to see if anyone's seen or
    heard anything.

    SULLIED
    At least it won't cost me.

    She shoots Moldy an irritated look.

    9 EXT. - HOUSE - DAY

    Moldy pulls up to a house in a neighborhood
    community and the two get out and head up to
    the front door. Moldy rings the bell and
    they wait.

    A few moments later the door opens and a man
    pops his head out.

    OUTRAGED MAN
    Not you Jehovah's again, don't you
    people ever give up?

    The man slams the door in their faces even
    before they have a chance to reply.

    Moldy rings the bell again as they hold up
    their FBI badges.
    The door swings open again and the man is now
    clearly upset.

    OUTRAGED MAN
    You don't get it do you?

    MOLDY
    We're FBI, this is Agent Sullied and I'm
    Agent Moldy.

    OUTRAGED MAN
    You guys have the answer for everything,
    even the end of the world! Get lost and
    take you're fake ID with you!

    He slams the door again.

    SULLIED
    He was far more helpful than the last
    house.

    MOLDY
    Yes, and a cheery disposition too.

    They turn and head back to the car.

    10 EXT. - ADVANCED INSTITUTE OF
    PARANORMAL/ABNORMAL BEHAVIORAL STUDIES AND
    CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY (Mon. Wed. Fri) - DAY

    Moldy and Sullied arrive in the driveway of
    the country-home-like estate. They pull the
    car forward and park it next to the building.

    They both get out and head towards the front
    door; there a woman in a white lab coat.
    They approach her. Patient's can be seen
    doing odd things in the background. They
    approach her.

    DR. SCHNOZZENDRIPPER
    Hello.

    MOLDY
    Hello, Dr. Scnozzendripper?

    She sniffles, wipes her nose with her hand
    and extends it for a handshake. Moldy
    pauses, but shakes it anyway, as does
    Sullied.
    They both simultaneously wipe their hand on
    the sides of their clothes.

    DR. SCNOZZENDRIPPER
    I was told you were coming by. Let's
    sit down in the yard, shall we?

    SULLIED
    Of course.

    They follow her down the small path in front
    of the building and out onto the grass, where
    a bench is placed. They all sit.

    MOLDY
    Doctor, here is the sample of heat-
    shielding from the Extra-Terrestrial
    craft.

    She takes the sample and examines it
    intensely, she sniffs it and hands it back.

    DR. SCHNOZZENDRIPPER
    It's aluminum-based foil, with a slight
    film coating of crushed peanuts and
    jellied fruit possibly grape. Also
    traces of whole wheat product.

    There is a slight pause.

    SULLIED
    You mean it was shielding a peanut-
    butter and jelly alien?

    The Doctor and Moldy look at one another,
    contemplating peanut-butter and jelly based
    life. The Doctor bites her bottom lip.

    SULLIED
    It's a sandwich, wrapped in tin foil.

    DR. SCHNOZZENDRIPPER
    That explains the whole wheat.

    MOLDY
    I have 20 X-Y-Z files on individuals who
    have claimed to have been abducted by
    hovering baked goods in the night sky.

    DR. SCHNOZZENDRIPPER
    (Getting excited by the discussion)
    Eclairs, Bear Claws, Fritters...

    The doctor starts to fan herself with her
    labcoat, looking visibly aroused.

    Moldy shakes his head in agreement.

    DR. SCHNOZZENDRIPPER
    The Fritters are the worst, they spray
    the abducted with a sugar-glaze coating
    causing instant paralysis.

    The Doctors hand slips inside her lab coat as
    she slowly fondles her breasts.

    SULLIED
    I can't believe we are discussing
    diabolical day-old donuts.

    DR. SCHNOZZENDRIPPER
    You shouldn't dismiss any possibilities.
    Have you questioned the surrounding
    residents of the park?

    The Doctor now looks suddenly relaxed.

    MOLDY
    A few.

    SULLIED
    No leads or reliable eye-witnesses.

    MOLDY
    We were hoping you might have some
    valuable information that could help us.

    SULLIED
    Here's a stab Moldy, why don't we
    interview more potential witnesses.

    A hospital orderly arrives with a message.

    ORDERLY
    Dr. Schnozzendripper? Mr. Shatner is
    here for his 4 o'clock appointment. He
    says he has an idea for a new Drek War
    novel.

    DR. SCHNOZZENDRIPPER
    Marvelous, I hope it's nothing like the
    "memoirs" novel. Get me some doughnuts
    and a stiff drink!

    EXT - OVERLOOKING MACARTHUR PARK:
    NEIGHBORHOOD - DAY

    Moldy and Sullied are once again going door
    to door looking for possible witnesses.

    They approach one house and knock. The door
    yanks open and a head pops out.

    OWNER
    Yah, whadda you want?

    Moldy begins to reach into his briefcase...

    OWNER
    Oh no you don't! Don't even bother, you
    people were here yesterday with those
    WATCHTOWER magazines! I've had it!

    He slams the door.

    SULLIED
    Weeeeelllll, that was productive, wasn't
    it?

    MOLDY
    Let's try the neighbors.

    They approach the next house and Sullied
    knocks.
    The door opens and another individual is
    seen.

    OWNER
    Yes?

    Moldy goes for his briefcase but Sullied
    intercepts him and shows her badge.

    SULLIED
    I'm Agent Sullied, this is Moldy.

    The Owner pulls away from the badge after she
    says it's "Moldy".

    OWNER
    That was pretty fast for a Government
    Agency. How did you know about her?

    Moldy looks at Sullied like this will break
    the case open.

    OWNER
    Quickly, come in before you she gets up
    from her nap.

    They enter and follow him into the kitchen.
    They sit.

    OWNER
    My wife has been acting strange lately.

    MOLDY
    How so?

    OWNER
    It occurs almost every month, around the
    same time.

    MOLDY
    What characteristics has she shown?

    OWNER
    Irritability, cramping, puffiness, water
    weight-gain...

    Sullied now features a look of complete shock
    over the stupidity of these guys.

    MOLDY
    I must have 100 X-Y-Z files based on
    those exact symptoms.

    Sullied is now angry.

    SULLIED
    Make that 101!

    The man's wife had now entered the room,
    looking like hell.

    WIFE
    I thought you were supposed to be out
    mowing the lawn?

    OWNER
    Yes, dear. I'm sorry, I have to go now.

    As they get up to leave Sullied moves closer
    to wife.

    SULLIED
    I can't figure out what's worse. PMS or
    men?

    WIFE
    Men. PMS only comes once a month.

    EXT. - PARK - DAY

    As Moldy and Sullied enter the park again
    they see a man gardening as he talks quietly
    to himself.

    MOLDY
    Sullied, look.

    He points to the gardener. They head towards
    him.

    SULLIED
    Good afternoon sir.

    GARDENER
    Good?

    MOLDY
    We need to ask you a few questions about
    some discoloration in the grass.

    GARDENER
    Where abouts?

    They walk over and look at the grass.

    MOLDY
    Over here.

    GARDENER
    Well?

    MOLDY
    What do you make of these?

    Moldy points to yellow patches while smirking
    at Sullied as though he had found the key
    piece of evidence.

    GARDENER
    (Kneeling looking closely at grass)
    Dog pee pee. Everybody brings their
    dogs to the park and what do they do?
    They PEE PEE! A little here, a little
    there. Killing off my precious grass I
    raised from seeds. Tending, watering,
    cutting, trimming, fertilizing,
    stroking! And all to be used as a huge
    diaper for doggies!

    As the gardner is getting more and more
    ecstatic in his speech, Moldy and Sullied
    slowly back away...

    SULLIED
    Well, that about closes this X-Y-Z file.

    MOLDY
    (Depressed)
    For once you were right.

    SULLIED
    Let's put this case to bed.

    In background Gardener is putting the grass
    to bed.

    GARDENER
    You don't know the pleasure Kentucky
    Blue Grass can bring a man!

    EXT. - FBI BUILDING - DAY

    In office, Moldy is depressed as he's closing
    file folder, hands it to Sullied who files
    it.

    MOLDY
    This is the worst case I've ever had.

    Special Asian Cooper enters office and
    approaches Moldy.

    COOPER
    Agent Moldy.

    MOLDY
    Yes?

    COOPER
    Weren't you supposed to surrender all
    articles ascertaining to your previous
    case, Agent Denise.

    Sullied looks confused.

    Moldy pulls open desk drawer, hands out dress
    and red pumps. Cooper, takes them and leaves.


    SULLIED
    Who was that?

    MOLDY
    Special Asian Cooper, Blue Rose case.

    SULLIED
    Agent Denise?

    MOLDY
    Well, it was a complex, undercover,
    uh...blue rose... top secret.

    Phone rings. Moldy answers it.

    MOLDY
    Agent Moldy here.

    DEEP THROAT
    You know who this is?

    MOLDY
    Mom?

    DEEP THROAT
    NO, Deep Throat you idiot.

    MOLDY
    I couldn't find any evidence of a UFO.

    DEEP THROAT
    What UFO?

    MOLDY
    The crash, the one on T.V. that you told
    me to watch.

    DEEP THROAT
    I told you to turn to Channel 5 so you
    could catch me and my granddaughter
    riding in the parade.

    Moldy hangs up.

    SULLIED
    Who was it?

    MOLDY
    Deep Throat.

    SULLIED
    What did the porno sage have to drop on
    us this time?

    MOLDY
    This entire X-Y-Z file has been a
    complete waste of time.

    SULLIED
    Now, there's a news flash.

    Moldy puts head down.

    SULLIED
    How about I take you out for a drink
    Moldy?

    MOLDY
    Okay, but sometimes I act a little weird
    when I drink.

    SULLIED
    This should be different.

    MOLDY
    Just as long as we don't get carried
    away.

    SULLIED
    Right, we can't trust anyone, even
    ourselves.

    MOLDY
    The truth is out there!

    (Panning out)

    Sullied and Moldy asleep on bed.

    We see the back of Sullied. She gets up and
    goes to bathroom. We see her in silhouette
    only.

    POV Sullied's head looks down at her 9-month
    pregnant tummy.

    SULLIED
    Oh my God!

    Green hands on stomach. Sullied snaps her
    head up and looks in mirror, seeing her green
    face. Make up FX. Screams.

    SULLIED
    Moldy!!!!!!!!!

    Fade to black.

    END

    INVASION OF THE SILICON GIRLS: FILM PLAYING
    AT MOLDY'S

    EXT. - BEACH - DAY

    Two well proportioned young ladies are seen
    on the beach wearing bikinis, they bat an
    alien beach ball back and forth.

    BETTY
    Eeek! Don't let the hideous limbless
    alien get us!

    VERONICA
    Okay Betty.

    The girls giggle as they bat the ball back
    and forth.

    (Audio only):

    VERONICA
    They're using their evil sunburn ray
    guns on us.

    BETTY
    Quick put on the Ultra SP15 hyper sun
    block.

    VERONICA
    I hope my hair holds out.

    The girls can be seen stroking their
    bodies with sun tan lotion. ****************************************************************************** Tony Anderson (demeter@eskimo.com)
