The Weedeater Man!

(guy is listening to a guy taking on tape while he works on a sign on a ladder.) music begins: low "for whome the bell tolls" by metallica


cut to: (woman watching the muppets. suddenly she hears her daughter screaming from her room. The woman gets up franticly and goes to her daughter's room. Her daughter is sitting in front of her computer typing something and talking in gibberish. Her mom looks around the her room sking where her medication is. Her daughter responds in gibberish. The woman gets frustrated at her daughter and seeks around the room not being able to find her meds.)


cut to: (The woman is escorting her daughter outside to the car where she discovers it has two flats. They flag down an old man driving toward them on the road. The mom gets in front of the oldsmobile to get the old man's attention. the old man too short to see over steering wheel runs her over. All her daughter sees as she becomes suddenly quiet and calm watches her anxious mother being run over by a hat driving a oldsmobile. The Old man feels the bump but is so oblivious just keeps driving. The daughter walks over to her mom who is lying near dead in the middle of the street. Her mom in her last breath whispers to her "sullivan saves" and then she dies. her daughter not quite understanding her writes it off due to her mom's highly religous nature as "don't you mean jesus saves? mom? mom?", shakes her and realizes she is dead. she then walks across street into the park and on as shot stays wide on park and her walking into it the music becomes louder and credits roll at explosion of sound in song.)  


Cut to: (she walks up through park as music lowers and credits end. the music morphs into sounding like it is coming from a camero in which couple of guys are leaning against in the park parking lot where the dazed girl arrives at. The two guys are detectives undercover looking for any clues to some teen girls who had gone missing the week before. One of the bisexual cops first hits on her much to the gay partner's dismay until they realize she is obviously lost in some way. she points back toward her mother. she is dead. they don't understand. they follow her back to her dead mom. They call ambulance. They ask her who had done this. She tells them a Hat did it. They don't understand. She tells them over and over that a driving hat did it. They respond "you mean a hat that was (gestures holding stirring wheel) driving?"


cut to: (guy opening up manhole from below and peeking out. he sees two teen girls swinging on swing in park. he looks around. He slowly creeps out and leaves manhole open. He is wearing an old ladies hat, a black trashbag as a skirt held on by rainbow hippy belt over some old thrift store MC hammer pants. He has on green welder's goggles. he approaches the two girls on the swing. They are talking about boys while listening to fiona apple on a portable jambox and suddenly realize they are being watched at close range. They see that the strange looking man is carrying a weedeater. He revs it up and begins to approach them. they realize he is definitely coming for them. The music they are listening to slowly goes from jambox to score of movie. They look over and see the detectives way across on the other side of the park. They themeselves were undercover as bait. they realize they must bail quick. they look over at eachother and give eachother a knowing nod and then they begin to swing and swing higher and higher until they both take turns flipping completely over and and out of their swinging seats as they are swinging back away from approaching psyho. once they land on their feet they both dash through park wooded areas to other side with the weedeater man hot on their tail. with a few near misses, they barely make it to the edge where they see their partners in the sting drive off with confused girl from afar only to be snatched up by the weedeater boogeyman. he grabs a puffy green gun attached to his leg under the trashbag skirt and shoots two darts filled with some kind of liquid hitting one in the neck and the other in the leg.. the girls proceed toward edge of park but pass out before they can get to road and flag somebody down. the weedeater man baggs them both and drags them to the manhole where he tosses them down into the sewers and follows behind shutting the manhole behind him with a gross sleazy smile on his face. the music plays on jambox in background.)
 


Cut to: (old man driving up to his house crashing into pole holding up porch. he hobbles out of oldsmobile. he is about sees the damage and kind of laughs. his head is bleeding. he realizes he forgot the dogfood. He notices his tire is flat. he curses car and smacks it with his cane. he then begins walking up extremely steep hill to nearest gas station for dog food. he is around 90 or maybe even 100 years old. he is fragile looking and blood is gushing from his head, but he must get the dogfood and a pack of smokes. that is his mission.)
