Dancing on Coffins. Black comedy

It’ll be nice to have you back here when you’re free from your infinite amounts of work.

JULIA SHWEETNER

Everyone’s eyes were shinning at the mall today, everyone there was so happy. It was really something to see.

CHRISTIAN

One very smart man has once told me: “To find the meaning of the life – is to find happiness, and to find happiness – is exactly the meaning of the life”.

Julia smiles.

JULIA SHWEETNER

I simply adore you.

Julia kisses Christian, passionately drawing herself to his neck.

CHRISTIAN

We need to talk in the bedroom…

JULIA SHWEETNER

(Smiling)

Oh, Christian…

EXT. MINNEAPOLIS – THE SUPERMARKET – NIGHT

Hoffman and his gang get out of the jeep and walk toward the supermarket. The shop is closed. Nearby, in the dark, we see two guys discussing something.

HAROLD HOFFMAN

Hazone! Shut these guys up, they’re preventing me from thinking!

Hazone runs up to guys and strikes them with a shovel. They fall on the asphalt and lose consciousness.

HAROLD HOFFMAN

Now let’s get back to our plans. What do people need to survive with? Food, health treatments, entertainment… let’s start by depriving people with food! Let’s go Silly!

Humpbacked Silly quickly takes out four canisters of gasoline from the car, and a bottle of incendiary mix and six bricks.

HAROLD HOFFMAN

Let’s do this quickly. Break the windows, pour the gasoline, and set it on fire and get the hell out of here. Ready?

Hitch, Silly and Hazone nod.

HAROLD HOFFMAN

Let’s force them into hunger! Let’s bring them to a life of ruin and hopelessness. No life, no light, no hope, only thoughts of death.

They quickly throw bricks into the show windows and pour the gasoline inside. In the supermarket, a flame flashes. They run away before it blows up.

HAROLD HOFFMAN

(Squeaky)

In the winter the sure way to be warmed up is to add spark!

The building sets on fire and blazes all around, a bright orange light can be seen from the skyline. They laugh and whistle.

HITCH

Holy shit!

HAROLD HOFFMAN

Having fun gentleman?!

HAZONE

How come we haven’t done this earlier?

HITCH

This is crazy fun!

HAROLD HOFFMAN

Let’s go boys! Get back in the car, we have more shops to burn!

HITCH

This is better than a holiday Harry!

HAZONE

Hell yeah!

Hitch and Hazone laugh joyfully as they look at a fire, like children watching fireworks for the first time.

HAROLD HOFFMAN

Hurry up boys!
