Roy Goes to the Movies ROY

'This is the story of Roy O'Brien.

'He lives in an ordinary house, on an ordinary street.

'The only trouble is, he doesn't LOOK very ordinary.

'All Roy really wants is to fit in.

'But it's very hard to stay out of trouble

'when you're a cartoon!'

Ro-o-oy!

Ro-o-oy!

Roy!

ROY!

He-he!

'A new movie release has Roy and his friends intrigued.'

That's scary!

Cool! Yeah, it's supposed to be the scariest movie ever made.

And my cousin's sister's boyfriend came out of the movie,

and his hair turned white.

And they had to take him to the hospital.

In a coma.

And now, all he can eat is porridge.

And now he can only talk by...

blinking!

That's so stupid, Roy.

It would be hilarious.

Yeah, it'll be mad fun.

You can forget about it, Roy. You're far too young.

Yeah, right, Ma. I'm not scared of anything.

Except your mammy!

I'm warning you now, Roy. You're not going to see that movie.

All right, all right.

Thanks, Mr O'Brien.

No problem.

Thanks, Da'. You're a champ.

Becky, well. Well, you're a chimp.

Roy, come here. You all right for money?

Well, not really...

Here. That's for the game, right?

Thanks! I'm only looking to see if they have it.

I don't think it's out yet, anyway.

Can we just go? The car stinks of Roy!

Roy. See you later, eh?

-Hey, Conor.

-Hi, Roy.

Right, lads, they've gone! Let's go to the movies!

Right. Split up, and look old.

Four, for Ghoul Claw.

Uh, no.

Go on!

-Four tickets for Ghoul Claw, please.

-Uh...no.

Go on.

Watch and learn, lads. Just watch and learn.

S'cuse me, comin' through. Excuse me.

Thank you.

Hiya. busy day, eh?

-Uh, yeah.

-Four for Ghoul Claw, thanks.

Four, is that your age, is it? Ha-ha!

It's for over-15s only.

I'm 22!

Would you go away? I know who you are,

you're that cartoon fella that goes to school at Ballyfermot.

I know you're only eight.

Eight? I'm elev...I'm 22!

Look, there's a film on about happy bears on screen two,

if you wanna watch that.

No?

Next!

We need a miracle.

I think we just got one.

-See you later, Ray.

-Bye!

-Mwah!

I'm definitely going up there. Come on!

Happy Bear in Toy Town or Ghoul Claw?

Four for Ghoul Claw, please.

Thanks! Thanks!

Yes! Yes!

-Yes!

-Yes!

-Yes!

Get your own!

Why bother? You've done all the hard work of buying them.

Ouch!

HE SLURPS HIS DRINK

(CROWD) Shhh!

Ouch! Oh, great. It's Kathy.

You're just upset it's not Sinead.

Yeah, right. Shut up, you idiot.

Oooh!

All right, here we go!

Bring it on!

Ouch!

(CROWD) Shhh!

Oh, Roy!

The claw!

AAARGH!

AAARRGH!

Roy!

HE SCREAMS IN THE DISTANCE

You saw that movie, didn't you?

You are so busted!

Ma's gonna hit the roof!

Becky, please, don't!

Why shouldn't I?

Because it's so unfair! I get blamed and grounded for everything!

And you get away with murder!

Come on, Becks, please don't tell Ma.

No probs.

Thanks, sis!

But I still get all your pocket money for the next two weeks!

Wha...?

Or Ma gets to hear about Roy's big day out at the movies!

Oh, and you can hand over that 20 Da' gave you earlier, too.

Aw, Becks! But I already spent half of that at the movies!

Tough luck. Hand over the tenner and we can make it...

three weeks of your pocket money to make up the rest.

I should never have gone and seen it.

If Kathy tells everyone in school I got scared,

I'll be laughed at forever!

A DOOR CLOSES

Hello?

I don't trust Becky, either.

If Ma finds out, I'll be in se...

SOMETHING CREAKS

Da'! Are you fixin' something down there?

'No.'

AAARRGH!

-Roy!

-What's going on?

I was just messin'!

He's scared stiff!

Roy, can you hear me, love?

We need something to bring him around.

Biscuits.

Biscuits, yeah.

No.

Still not working.

Chocolate. Becky, go downstairs and get that slice of chocolate cake.

-Now!

-Wait, wait, that was for my lunch.

Oh, Bill!

I thought that would work.

I was only messin'.

Honestly.

I was pretending to be the ghoul from the movie.

What movie?

Roy, can you hear me, love?

Roy, wake up this minute!

What happened? Chocolate? Where? Can I have some?

Roy, did you go to see that movie after I told you not to?

Becky!

I'll deal with you in the mornin', Roy O'Brien.

And you, missy, go to bed now. Now!

I want my money back!

Get out!

Get out of it!

SNORING

HOWLS AND SCREAMS

AARGH!

Roy! Roy, it's OK, son, it's just a dream!

It's not real!

Roy! Shh. Roy!

Roy, there's no such thing as ghouls or ghosts, love.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Then it's OK...

SNORING

Good boy.

I'll leave the light on for you, Roy, right?

HOWLS AND SCREAMS

AAARGH!

'You go in!'

'You brought him to that movie!'

'I have to drive in the mornin, YOU go!'

'Oh, get out!'

Roy! Roy, I have to sleep, son!

Come on, wake up!

Roy!

Roy, it's just a dream, son.

Try and think of nice things when you go back to sleep this time.

OK?

-OK...

-Right!

Nice things, yeah.

SNORING

HOWLS AND SCARY LAUGHTER

AARGH!

BOTH PARENTS: 'SHUT UP!'

SNORING

-I hear.

-I've no sympathy for you, Roy.

I warned you not to see that movie

and now we're like zombies because of you screaming all night.

I thought you said there was no such thing as zombies!

Are there zombies, Da'?

I didn't sleep a wink.

It was probably the sound of a train running around

in that train track in your big fat mouth all night, you squealer!

School. Now.

Both of you.

SNORING

Ghouls...and claws!

Ghouls. Get out the woods!

HE MOANS

Well, well, well. If it isn't Mr Scaredy Pants.

Should have seen him at Ghoul Claw. He was shaking like a leaf.

Then he starts screaming right in the middle of it.

I'd be scarlet if I were you, Roy.

Me? No, no!

As if! It was you who ran out of the movie.

Yeah, she was screaming her head off.

I wish I'd got it on video, she was priceless!

Liars, you pack of liars!

Sure. That movie wasn't even scary!

OK, class, sit down.

Right, we're going to start with some spelling today.

Here we go.

Underneath, there was an old boat cloak,

whitened with sea-salt on many a harbour bar.

His mother pulled it up with impatience,

and there lay before us...

HE GROANS

Get him away!

Shoot him in the head! Aargh!

Aargh!

LAUGHTER

Roy O'Brien, king of the horror movie. See? I told you.

Now who's a liar?

BELL RINGS

I'll take the cards back. Thank you.

Thank you.

Boo!

How embarassing!

To be such a scaredy cat.

Don't mind her, Roy. She's just a bully.

I should just hide until I'm 100 years old.

Relax. All you have to do is show Kathy up as a hypocrite.

A hypo-what?

We have to show everyone that Kathy isn't as tough as she makes out.

And that she gets scared, too.

Cool. And, how are we gonna do that?

Excellent, Tommy.

Right, who's next?

Kathy.

You haven't been up here for a while.

Good girl.

Minus five...

The answer is...three.

Brilliant, Kathy.

What's so funny, guys?

Here we go. This will be priceless!

Look at her, she's eating it!

She must have eaten it!

-Look!

-She's like the Terminator!

-Roy, gimme some money.

-What for?

Supplies.

For tomorrow.

Plan B!

This better work tomorrow.

People keep making chicken noises when they pass!

KNOCK AT THE DOOR

Right.

Goodnight, Royster.

Do us a favour, will you?

No more bad dreams.

Your Da' needs a sleep.

-OK, buddy?

-OK, hope so! Thanks, goodnight!

Goodnight, son.

Light out, son.

I think he'll be grand.

AARRGGH!

SNORING

Wha? Where is he?

This is stupid!

I have to drive my taxi for eight hours and I'm half dead!

What are you shouting at me for? I get less sleep than you.

As soon as he stops screaming, you start snoring.

You snore louder than me.

Here's the line, I'd step right back over that if I were you, Bill.

Shut up, the two of you! My room is closer to his!

Will you bring him to Dr Rashid

and see if he'll give him something to stop the nightmares, please?

Ouch!

Listen, Roy. Straight here after school, we're going to Dr Rashid's.

Oh, cool.

Wait for my signal.

OK, here she comes!

ALL: RAARGH!

The floor!

LAUGHTER

Why the red face, Roy?

Was that supposed to scare me?

You're an even bigger joke than I thought.

LAUGHTER

Any time I hear a bang or a scream

or smell something foul in the school,

I know it'll be you four buffoons at the heart of it.

And who do I inevitably find controlling this disastrous quatro?

Mr O'Brien!

But, Sir!

And when you've finished here, you can help Mr Gwint with....

whatever it is that he does.

Faster! I want to be able to see my face in that floor!

That could be arranged.

Don't worry, Roy. You wouldn't be the first young person

to come and see me with nightmares after watching a scary movie.

So you mean I'm not a scaredy cat?

Not at all! Everyone's scared of something.

I, myself, am not particularly fond of clowns...

You're not the only one. Stupid red-nosed freaks, eh?

So, what do you suggest, Doctor?

Sleeping pills, yeah?

Not at all! All Roy has to do is replace the horror images

with something from a nice, innocuous movie.

Mam, what's an octopus movie?

Shh, Roy!

And you're sure that'll work?

We've got to get to sleep tonight,

or there'll be war in that place in the morning.

I recommend Happy Bear in Toy Town.

I brought my daughter to see it at the weekend,

she's five-years-old, she loved it. Hasn't stopped singing the song.

# Happy bears are we Dum dum dum dee dee

# Happy bears are we...#

It's her! Look!

Who?

-Hiya.

-Oh, hiya.

Two for Happy Bear in Toy Town, please.

Yeah, no bother.

There you go now.

-There y'are.

-Thanks, love.

No problem.

Do you not want your complementary Happy Bear in Toy Town stickers?

-Roy?

-Nah. You're all right.

-See ya!

-Thanks.

-What's wrong with you?

-Next!

Thank you. Oh, excuse me. Thanks.

I can't believe I'm about to watch this.

HAPPY MUSIC

LAUGHTER

Ha-ha! Look at him!

Your hands are sticky, get them off me!

it's all that popcorn I've been eating.

Listen, you stay there, I'll be back in a minute, just wash my hands.

# Dum dum, dee dee Happy bears are we

# Dum dum, dee dee Happy bears are we

# Dum dum, dee dee Happy bears are we

# Living in Toy Town Happy Bears are we

-# Dum dum...#

-Roy!

Did you go to see the Happy Bear film, too?

Who'd you bring?

Uh, my cousin, Sophie!

# Dum dum, dum dee dee Happy bears are we!

# Living in Toy...#

What have I told you about talking to strangers?

But, Daddy, he's funny!

He's funny all right.

Well, actually I...

You should have gone to the bear movie, Roy, it was brilliant.

Oh, hi, Sinead.

Hi, Mrs O'Brien.

Have you been to that horror movie too?

That's the second time he's seen that.

-I don't know what he sees in them.

-I'll catch you tomorrow, Sinead.

See ya.

See you, Sinead.

Thanks, Ma.

No problem, pal.

Just you let me get some sleep and we'll call it quits.

Yeah.

Come on, love.

I need more sausages, Ma!

Fair play to you, Roy. You'll turn into a sausage if you're not careful.

But here, since you were so good last night by not screaming.

That was great.

You said it.

How'd you sleep, Becks?

Like a log.

More like a dog!

Roy!

I'll spend your money today.

Sorry, love. Sausages are a little bit burnt.

A little, yeah.

Careful now, Roy. That's your shadow, there.

Don't want you getting scared and screaming like a little girl.

See you later, losers.

Sorry, it's attracted to other things full of air.

Don't mind her, Roy. She's scared of things like the rest of us.

Last year she went absolutely mental.

She thought there was a mouse in the girl's changing room.

It turned out to be a sock.

She was screaming her head off.

Really?

-BELL RINGS

-See you at maths.

What?

No way. No mice.

They're gross.

Don't worry. I have something much better than a mouse.

Roy? Meet Missy.

Aargh, it's horrible! Get it away, now!

Look at it's yellow teeth! it's manky!

And look at its claws or toes or whatever you call them!

And its tail and its whiskers!

-AARGH!

-She won't bite!

Aargh! Get it away!

-Roy?

-Roy!

-Roy?

-Roy?

What happened?

You freaked out when I tried to show you missy and...

AARGH!

You ran into a wall.

No! Get that thing out of my house, now!

Roy, wait!

What?

Come on, it's the only thing that she's scared of.

And when everyone freaks out, you come to the rescue.

What will I do when I catch her?

Bring her inside and hide her in my locker.

Everyone will stop calling you a scaredy cat.

Simple.

Aargh! Giant rats are coming to eat my head off!

'Oh, what now?'

'Not again, I thought you fixed him!'

'Oh, so it's My fault now, is it, Bill O'Brien?"

'Everyone shut up!'

Maura, the tea!

What? What now?

No need to shout, Bill.

Now.

Did everyone sleep OK?

Sorry.

The day of the rat has arrived.

No. Way.

Come on.

No! I've been dreaming about rats all night.

They all hate me at home.

Are you just gonna let Kathy win?

Everyone still thinks you're a coward.

It's over now, she's already won.

AARGGH!

Oh, Roy. You're just pure class.

The biggest coward in history.

I don't know why you come to school.

Why don't you just shut your big mouth, Kathy?

You're boring everyone.

ALL: Ooooh!

Aww, look, Roykins, your little girlfriend is sticking up for you.

How cute.

Don't mind her, Roy.

All right! Let's get to work, Missy!

You know, I still don't think I can do this, lads.

Of course you can, Roy.

Just squint your eyes and pretend it's a cute little white kitten.

OK. Little white kitten. Little white kitten.

OK? Let's do this.

Aah! What's that running?

Aargh! What is it?

SCREAMING

There it is! It's gone under the board!

It's enormous!

-Don't worry, Miss, I'll take care of it.

-Be careful, Roy!

OK, I can do this. Just a little white kitten.

Just a little white kitten.

Yeah, that's all. No rats. Just a little white kitten. Yeah.

Honestly! All of you scared by a little cute rat?

There's two of them!

There's two of them!

Argh!

Aargh!

SCREAMS

Argh! Where is it? Where has it gone? It's underneath me, Roy!

It's OK, Sinead. I'll save you.

Roy!

Mummy, mummy, mummy!

Argh, mummy!

Alright, listen up, everybody!

Due to a possible rat infestation,

I've asked an exterminator to come here to deal with the problem.

So, unfortunately, the school will be closed for two days.

CHEERS

That was really brave of you, Roy.

Thanks a million.

I knew you'd save me from the rat.

Uh, yeah, sure!

I mean, any time.

It's only a little, small rat.

The poor fella. He's more scared of us!

Listen, I'm going to the cinema on Saturday. Want to go along?

Yeah, sure. See you there.

See ya.

YES!

Rats are deadly. She's so cool. Come on, check it out.

She has a little bed that I made

out of one of Becky's T-shirts and one of her favourite shoes.

Have to return her to Jack tomorrow.

but not before I take care of some business.

'With his courage now restored, Roy is about to improve his finances.'

Go for it, Missy!

SCREAMS

AARGH!

Sorry, where's my manners? Missy, meet Becky. Becky, meet Missy.

Get it away!

No problem. But you do have to give me the tenner you took off me

and six weeks pocket money!

Fine! Take it, just go!

It was a pleasure doing business with you, Becky.

-Rargh!

-Argh!

Ha-ha-ha!
