[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 2288213, member: 386"] [b]Flashback - Raynor Onass[/b] SUBTITLE: 6 days later... RAYNOR'S P.O.V. All is black. There is a distant, heavy pounding. The camera blinks, revealing a bedroom through blurry eyes. RAYNOR (V.O.): "Ooh, my head." INT. APARTMENT - BEDROOM - DAY A close-up reveals Raynor lying in bed, his hair a mess. He squints in pain. There is an ambient pounding noise in the distance. Raynor looks around, obviously unfamiliar with his situation. He looks beside him and sees an attractive near-human WOMAN, her skin a pale shade of pink, lying half-naked beside him. RAYNOR: "Hang on... that's not my head that's pounding." He turns to the Woman. "I think you have company." The Woman stirs to life and rubs at her eyes. They suddenly fly open. WOMAN: "Oh :):):):). My husband." Raynor's eyes go wide and he stares at the door. The camera follows his look, and we see the door almost buckle with each successive pound. It's obvious something huge is on the other side. Raynor leaps out of bed and throws on his pants. His clothes are a mess all around the room. The Woman follows his lead. Raynor puts his shirt on inside-out, buckles his belt without closing his fly, and stands on the bed, grabbing at a sock hanging from a ceiling fan (along with a bra). He knocks the bra to the ground. Suddenly, the door BURSTS open and a 9-foot-tall BARABEL, an alien with thick, natural grey plating covering its body and fists like pain, CRASHES into the room. BARABEL: "WHAT YOU DOIN' WITH MY WIFE?" RAYNOR: (thinking quickly) "Calm down, calm down, no need for violence, nothing going on here..." Raynor glances out the window, hoping it might offer a means of egress, but he realizes that he's 80 stories up. He looks back to the Barabel, and a massive SWING forces him to dodge back into a corner. The Barabel advances, but the Woman steps in front of him. She is tiny compared to his bulk. RAYNOR: "I was just having a look at your place... I wanted to lease one of these apartments... needed a good look at one of them..." The Barabel seems to consider this for a moment, then dismisses it, swinging at Raynor again. Raynor ducks and the Barabel SMASHES the wall, leaving a hole the size of Raynor's head. Raynor looks at the hole in the wall, at the Barabel, and to the Woman. WOMAN: "Calm down honey, he was just having a look at our place... uh, to lease it..." BARABEL: "HUH? WHY IS HIS PANTS UNDONE? WHAT IS HIS SOCK DOING ON FAN?" RAYNOR: "It's a custom of my people. Yeah, that's it, a custom. We put articles of clothing around the room to see what it looks like. We've been doing it for thousands of years. Yeah, back on Rentilli 9..." BARABEL: "WHY BED ALL MESSED UP?"
