THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERHERO-MAN AND THE BOY WONDER

[spideyfan914]

I wrote this script about two weeks ago. Thought you'd like it - plus it's short!

INT. LAVA PIT

SUPERHERO-MAN is strapped to the side of a lava pit. In a secure section behind a window, the VOLCANIST is grinning. Lava on the bottom of the pit is slowly rising.

SUPERHERO-MAN
You’ll never get away with this, Volcanist!

VOLCANIST
I already have, Superhero-Man! Your situation is hopeless! Your defeat – inevitable! No one can stop me now! Hahaha!

SUPERHERO-MAN
You forget about the Boy Wonder!

VOLCANIST
The Boy Wonder? What hope does he have?

SUPERHERO-MAN
You underestimate him!

VOLCANIST
And you underestimate the heat of your situation!

Behind Volcanist, a vent pops out, and BOY WONDER crawls in. Superhero-Man smiles and nods. Volcanist laughs, and then Boy Wonder kicks him in the ribs. Volcanist falls to the side.

VOLCANIST
Boy Wonder? How did you get past security?

BOY WONDER
They got the cold shoulder!

VOLCANIST
It doesn’t matter! You’re too late to save Superhero-Man! I’ve devised a most complex system which you’ will never crack!

Volcanist points to two buttons.

VOLCANIST
Only one will save him! And the other.... Hahaha! There’s no way you’ll guess the right one! I’ve won! Hahaha!

Volcanist runs out the door. Boy Wonder prepares to go after him.

SUPERHERO-MAN
No, Boy Wonder! Leave Volcanist! Save me and I’ll stop him with my Superstrength!

BOY WONDER
But Superhero-Man, what if I press the wrong one?

SUPERHERO-MAN
Do not fret! Without Volcanist’s knowing, I solved his dastardly riddle! Press the left button!

Boy Wonder turns to the buttons. He holds out the pointer fingers and thumbs of each hand to see which one forms and “L”, but because his palms are facing him, he presses the button on the right. The lava suddenly speeds up.

SUPERHERO-MAN
No, no! Your other left!

BOY WONDER
But I only have one left! That’s what makes it different from my right!

SUPERHERO-MAN
It’s an expression! It means that was the right button!

BOY WONDER
I know it was right – it’s the one you told me to press!

SUPERHERO-MAN
As in it wasn’t left!

BOY WONDER
But I thought you said it was right!

SUPERHERO-MAN
No, it wasn’t left or right!

BOY WONDER
Well, it has to be one of them....

SUPERHERO-MAN
Press the button!!!

Boy Wonder turns to the buttons, then turns back to the lava pit.

BOY WONDER
Which one?

Boy Wonder sees that the lava pit is now entirely filled with lava.

BOY WONDER
Oh....
