EXT. DRAGONLAND - DAY
Little SNUFF sits alone on a cloud trying to create a fireball. SPARK and FLASH fly around him.
SPARK
What's
the matter, Snuff? Still
coughin'
up airballs? (snickers)
FLASH
(spits fire)
Careful,
blowing gas might get ya burned.
Snuff flies away from the flames, frightened, while Flash
and Spark laugh.
SNUFF
Yaaaaa!!
Please, stop. I'm scared of fire!
MOM enters.
SNUFF
Mom,
what's wrong with me? Why can't
I be
firesome like the other dragons?
MOM
Now,
now, Snuff. We can't all be full of
fire.
Some dragons just take a little more
time
to develop.
SPARK
Yeah,
except he's not a full-blooded dragon.
SNUFF
(gasps)
What?
Mom, is this true?
Mom flies Snuff away to a different cloud.
MOM
I
wanted to wait for the right time to
Tell you
this Snuff, but ... you're
half
dragon, half ... uh ...
SNUFF
Oh
God, I always knew it! I'm half
fireman,
aren't I?
MOM
No,
you're not that brave, dear.
SNUFF
Then
what?
MOM
You're
the son of that guy in Jurassic Park
that
left the two kids at the mercy of the T-Rex.
SNUFF
The
one who got eaten on the toilet?!
MOM
Yes,
that's the one.
SNUFF
Mom,
how could you stoop so low?
Beat.
SNUFF
Come
to think of it, how could it even work?
MOM
Let's
not get too deep into the logistics, fireheart. He was a successful lawyer that
made certain promises to me ... nearly got me a job at the park.
SNUFF
(disgusted)
That's
despicable. I don't even know who you are anymore. I don't know who
I am.
Snuff huffs off and runs into LORD DRAGON.
LORD DRAGON
Hi
Snuff.
SNUFF
(sniffling)
Oh hi
Lord Dragon.
LORD DRAGON
You're
not your usual, heaving self
this
day. What's troubling you?
SNUFF
What's
the point? Nothing's going to come out. All I can do is blow hot air and
now I know why.
LORD DRAGON
Your
mother must of told you about ...
SNUFF
Yeah
... child-deserter guy. Now I'll never cast a fireball. I'll
always be too scared to even face them.
LORD DRAGON
Ahhh
Snuff ... that's not true. You'll be
able
to blow fire. You'll just never grow hair on your horns. Sorry
about that.
SNUFF
You
mean, on top of everything, my
dad
was bald?
LORD DRAGON
Worse.
He was bald in the middle with
hair
on the sides.
SNUFF
OH! A
bozo cut! Don't tell me anymore, I can't take it!
LORD DRAGON
There's
nothing to fret about. Why, it took
me
till I was 6 months old to start a spark.
SNUFF
But,
Lord Dragon, I'm already 9.
LORD DRAGON
Oh.
SNUFF
I'll
never belong.
LORD DRAGON
Well,
that's probably true. But you're here now and what you have to decide is
whether you're more bozo or more dragon. It's up to you.
SPARK and FLASH enter in a rush.
FLASH
Lord
Dragon! The entire kingdom's going
up in
flames. One of the dragons with firebreathing disease got out of the
hospital!
LORD DRAGON
Only
you can save us now, Snuff. I've been
told
that, while you may not be able to blow fire, you can snuff out flames with
your breath.
SNUFF
Yes,
Lord Dragon, that's true.
SPARK
Hurry!
The fire's already downed half
the
kingdom! Blow it out, your air!
LORD DRAGON
Your
moment has come to be who
you
were meant to be.
SNUFF
Indeed.
Well, nice knowing you all.
(turns
back) What's the matter, Sparky? Scared you might get burned?
Snuff exits, blowing his way through the flames to safety.
BLACKOUT
