| Arora: |
|
Look, we're
best friends. Friends are supposed to help each
other out. What happened? We used to be
so close.
|
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
Look,
I can't always be there for you. Sometimes you're
just gonna have to help yourself out of your own situations.
|
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
It's
not my fault that you don't get the recognition you deserve.
I try to tell my fans, but they don't listen. What else
am I supposed to do? I can't fix myself. |
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
You You
You! Is that all you care about is You?
I've got a life too. I've also got a dream that
needs to be fulfilled. If I don't fix you, you'll
probably tell everybody that I'm a bad wrench, how am
I supposed to succeed with my dream?
|
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
If you fix
me, people will like you, and they will give you the
recognition you deserve.
|
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
But
then if I fix you, you are just gonna win & be number
1 again, & the story will start all over again. |
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
You
have to make a decision- Yes or No?
(Arora notices the sound of drops of liquid dropping
on the floor beneath him.) |
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
Do you hear
that?
|
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
Oh
my gosh - You're bleeding motor oil!
(They're both silent) |
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
Are
you gonna help me or not? |
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
Right
now, the answer is no.
(Arora is enraged with anger. He goes into reverse,
hits the gas, turns in to a 180, flips it in drive &
takes off)
(Jack notices the motor oil dripping from Arora.
He realizes that the faster he goes, the more oil he burns
and the closer he is to dying.) |
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
Hey,
I'm pissed. I can't believe this. I have this
best friend, Jack. He is a wrench and he fixes me
when I'm broken. But he is jealous that I get all
the attention, so he refuses to fix me. On an ordinary
fixing day, it usually takes him 2 days to fix me, and
guess what? I have a big race in exactly (2) Days!
What do I do? What do I do?
Woe is me. Woe is me.
|
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
I
feel betrayed. My best friend took advantage of
me. I want to fix him, but he's just so big headed,
so self-centered. He thinks everything is about
him. If I tell him I won't fix him, he'll tell everybody
I was a bad wrench and not to use me. How could
he do that to me? I thought we had each other's
backs. I feel so disgusted, so offended, and so
pissed off. I can't even finish this conversation.
(To the audience) I hope you can help.
(Arora realizes Jack is magnetized and is stuck to
the right side of him.) |
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
STOP!
STOP! SLOW DOWN!
Let's talk. You're only making this situation worse
for yourself. |
| |
|
|
| Arora:: |
|
Leave me
the Hell alone! Go Away!
|
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
Stop
for a minute. Let's talk. |
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
The
only way I'll talk to you is if you Fix Me!
(A storm suddenly appears and it dramatically starts
raining.
The rain causes Jack to rust.
A bolt of lightening comes out of nowhere and electrocutes
Jack, causing a chain-reaction igniting Jack and Arora.)
|
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
Arora, turn
left here!
|
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
Why?
|
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
Just do
it!
(Arora turns a quick left and slams into a river
filled with mud.)
|
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
Quick thinking.
R U ok?
|
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
Yah,
I'm fine thanx. What about you? |
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
That
mud plugged up the hole that my motor oil was running
out from,
So right now, I'm all right.
(Arora calls a tow-truck on his car phone) |
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
Look
what you've done. Now you've just lost 10 minutes of fixing
time. |
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
What
are you talkin' about? You told me you weren't gonna fix
me. |
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
Why
do you think I came with you? And now that we've gone
through this horrible experience, I can't even move. I
have no energy. Even if I decided to fix you, I physically
can't. I need to be fixed myself.
(The tow-truck arrives & drives them to the garage.)
|
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
Look,
Jack, I never meant for any of this to happen. I've
never been loved until I started racing. And seeing
the happiness in the crowd's faces & knowing I was
making them so happy was the best feeling in the world.
I understand that you don't get the recognition you deserve
& for that I apologize. Friends are supposed
to help each other out.
Wadda ya say?
|
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
What
makes you think I am entirely ready to fix you? All I
wanted was an apology and you apologized, but sometimes
a simple "I'm sorry" doesn't make it better.
We've known each other since we were kids and I've always
been there for you, but the one time I wanted a break,
you had a fit. I wouldn't have done that to you.
(Jack sighs) I'm so confused. Whose feelings are
more important, mine or Arora's? What's the right thing
to do?
(Arora starts to cry)
I guess I'll just have to show you what I'm gonna
do.
(Suddenly, Jack whistles & all his little friends
& family pop out of the toolbox & yell, "Surprise".) |
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
What's
all this? You mean you had all of this planned out? I'm
flattered.
(Suddenly Jack snaps his fingers and they all get to
work. One of the little tools says, "Tires",
another one says "Paint", another says
"Gas" and within an hour and a half,
they are finished.)
(Jack and Arora look at each other and just smile and
start laughing.)
(The day of the race, Arora comes out of the garage shinier
than the sun, louder than a lion's roar, & prettier
than the islands of Hawaii. And with a sparkle of his
headlights, he steps up to the starting line.Suddenly
Arora hears
READY…SET… & Arora yells-
|
| |
|
|
| Arora |
|
STOP! |
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
(Runs
up) What's wrong? |
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
I
can't start without… (pause) thanking
you for all you did. You acted just as a friend should.
You always had my back. Without saying thanx…I'll
show you. |
| |
|
|
| Jack: |
|
How
are you gonna show me? |
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
Just
watch.
(Arora steps up once again to the starting line and
reeves up his engine. Once again he hears- READY…SET…and
the sound of the gunshot makes him switch into drive.
Arora's will to succeed is so strong, he wheelies onto
his back tires and takes off. Unfortunately for Arora,
the car he is racing against is in front of him. Arora
flips on the nitrous oxide switch and flies past the finish
line.)
|
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
That's
how I say thanx.
(Arora steps up to the microphone on the 1st place
stand and starts giving his speech.)
|
| |
|
|
| Arora: |
|
How's
everybody doin' today?
I'm just gonna get down to the point. Many people
think I deserve all the credit, but actually I don't.
I want you guys to meet a great friend of mine.
Jack, come on up.
This is who you should be clapping for. He's been
the one who fixes me every time and he never gave up on
me. Yesterday, we were in a life and death situation
and now I've fulfilled my dream of being the fastest,
shiniest, most popular Lamborghini Diablo on the racetrack
today. So to give our appreciation to the brains
behind all this, let's all give a round of applause to
Jack, the wrench, the strongest, shiniest & most popular
wrench!
(Every one starts clapping and from that day on, Arora
and Jack worked side by side and they both achieved their
dreams.)
|
|
| |
|
The
End. |
