= Johnson
= The reporter, Tom Aito, [Tom]
(beginning credits)
SCENE 1
(Kool FM 92.3 starts talking about Carlton)
(a major traffic accident occurs, news people and ambulances come over)
<news>
[Tom] : Tom Aito reporting here, reporting a traffic accident on Main Street, and it�s a doozy!
(a pile of cars in background)
[Tom] : This is a mess! Look, zero traffic signs and the cops chase innocent bystanders!
(news camera pans in on cop car chasing a person)
[Tom] : Our fair city (many coughs in the background) has gone out of control ever since Mayor Robert Quimby (news style slide shows picture of tough-looking elderly man) died of a car accident. Nice. After five long years the city of Carlton has had no mayor! I think we should get a new mayor, one that will make our streets safer for our citizens! Is my idea yay or nay?
(crowd cheers and applauds saying �Yay!�)
</news>
(FADE TO NEXT SCENE)
SCENE 2
(Richard sees this while among the crowd)
Richard : (thinking) Hmm, since I was a businessman for Central Software Incorporated, I have quick thinking and have a knack for finding out what people want, and good at arithmetic, I�d be a great mayor, and I�d have a good chance of becoming mayor because it looks like nobody else wants the title.
(SWITCH TO Johnson)
Johnson : (talking to fellow soldier) This stinky little city is full of puny little wimps and their precious little Quimby was a wimp too. I think I can whip this weak little poor exuse for a city into something worth actually looking at, if that�s possible!
(switch to camera sitting over a view of the KOOL van and [Tom], and a bit of the crowd)
<news>
(Richard and Johnson come out of the crowd, not expecting each other to be applying)
(camera goes back down to earth)
Richard & Johnson : I�ll be mayor!
[Tom] : Well, folks! It looks like we are having the first mayoral election in the history of our fair city (many coughs in background), Carlton
</news>
Richard & Johnson : *starts arguing*
(camera zooms out while they are arguing, and during that screen slowly fades to black)
SCENE 3:
(in front of mayor building)
Johnson : If you back out now, you little rat in a suit, It�ll save you a lot of pain!
Richard : Pfft! You think your little �punching technique� will strike me down? Being a businessman you have to learn to defend yourself with things like karate, watch.
(camera quickly switches to show Johnson�s face and a buzzsaw noise starts, and then the camera switches to Richard again, and is standing by a broken tree)
Johnson : (running away, screaming) II�ll beee baack!
Richard : *laughs*
(screen immediately turns black for three seconds)
SCENE 4:
(night time)
<news>
[Tom] : Well, folks! Let�s see if two months of campaigning have finally paid off in tonight�s mayoral election. Sorry, we know that it�s cold out tonight, but a garbage truck crashed into the entrance of the building; *coughing*id-i-ot*/coughing* ; and it REEKS over there, man! (quickly shows mayor building with garbage truck crashed into it) I have the envelope in my hands.
(dramatic waiting music plays)
[Tom] : Sorry folks, it�s a tie. We need to hold a competition, or should we revote?
(crowd starts chanting �Competition!� several times)
[Tom] : The crowd says competition. What do you guys want to do?
Johnson : Meathead here says he�s got �driving skills�, let us hold a race, and if we tie again, we do a car-to-car fight to the finish.
[Tom] : FIGHT TO THE FINISH??? That�s the most violent thing to for a reporter to report on since the Hindenburg!
(police cars start chasing crowds away, with a bullhorn bellowing, �Citizens of Carlton, I advise you to stay home and see this on TV!�)
[Tom] : Well, no one else is going to start the race, so I guess that means I have to start the race. (depressed-scared voice)
</news>
([Tom] starts the race, and the race goes on for five minutes in a planned path to be made in planning, but the race ties)
<news>
[Tom] : O-o-okay, s-so now I guess ah-I have t-to start the d-demolition competition (very terrified voice)
</news>
(after [Tom] starts the race, he skateboards away as fast as he can, and a fight scene between their cars goes on for two minutes, with [Tom] occasionally showing damage status, and they both get destroyed at the same time)
<news>
[Tom] : Well, folks. It looks like the people are going to have to decide who�s going to be their mayor!
</news>
(the crowd huddles)
{EDIT}
Script 1 Revision 1: OLDIE
[link] (.doc file)
Do you guys like this idea? I need to add/remove and change stuff, of course
this is just the first revision of the script 
Anyways, there are a bunch of skilled people here, and I hope there will actually be a reply, unlike my try at the now dead mm2cars.com
Anyways, I need people who can be awake when it's daytime in Canada to help film the two major scenes in it. You must be good at using the [V] cam, too
My official site is here, but my host broke their "No-AD guaranty" 
But I think I can find a new host somewhere anyways. I'm searching those host directories again 
So does anyone wanna help with this project (I know, cheesy story, but wait until the sequel
)
