2. EPISODE 5 CIVIL WAR PART II PERK GOES ON A DATE
Perk and the crew are chillin on Planet Rake, enjoying a cup
of tea. There’s a dividing line between some top soil and
some tiles. There are rakes on the soil holding placards
with ’No Mop’ emojis and mops holding placards with ’No
Rake’ emojis. There are crewmembers armed with tasers
keeping the peeps from scrapping.
1ST OFFICER’S LOG
We have beamed down to Planet Rake,
to end an intense civil war between
the Rake and the Mop. The
Federation is worried about the
effect this war has had on their
supply of Spicetacular and the
deliciousness of their breakfast.
And I am worried about the Captain.
He can’t stand the Rake and if he
doesn’t overcome his personal
issues with these people, I fear
this war will ruin more than a bowl
of oats. Speck out.
ONE OF THE GIRLS
How’s your tea Captain.
PERK
(mildly annoyed)
Pretty sweet. Thanks for asking.
ONE OF THE GIRLS
Don’t let this war get to you
Captain. I’m sure you’ll figure it
out. We believe in you.
SPECK
Captain, if I may... Perhaps this
particular conundrum, could be
better served by a less
conventional course of action.
PERK
Speak your mind Speck.
SPECK
Hank, sometimes when the going gets
tough, the tough should get going
...on a date.
PERK
Are you suggesting Speck, I go out
and have some fun in the midst of a
war.
(CONTINUED)
3. CONTINUED: 2.
SPECK
Taking your mind off things may be
just what you need.
PERK
Hmm..
Speck hands the Captain a Communicator.
PERK (CONTD..)
Beamer. Perk here. Put Hot Space
Girl on.
BEAMER
(v.o.)
Yes sir. 1 second...
HOT SPACE GIRL
(v.o.)
Aloha.
PERK
Hi Hot Space Girl, how you doing.
HOT SPACE GIRL
(v.o.)
I’m ok.
PERK
Would you like to go on a hot date
tonight.
HOT SPACE GIRL
(v.o.)
Sure that sounds fun. Who with.
PERK
Ah, with me.
HOT SPACE GIRL
(v.o.)
Oh ok. Where are we going
PERK
Planet Rake. I hear there’s a nice
restaurant on the edge of the
warzone. They’ve got a nice view of
the battlefield, and dumplings.
HOT SPACE GIRL
Okie. Ciao bello.
(CONTINUED)
4. CONTINUED: 3.
PERK
Perk out.
SPECK
There you go.
THE CAPTAIN AND THE HOT SPACE GIRL ARE ON A DATE.
The waitress puts some drinks on the table.
WAITRESS
A moonshine martini. And a cosmic
spritza.
PERK
Thankyou.
WAITRESS
Would you like to order.
PERK
Sure.
(To his date)
What looks good.
HOT SPACE GIRL
hmm.. I think I’ll have the Galaxy
surprise. What’s in that?
WAITRESS
It’s a surprise.
HOT SPACE GIRL
Oh ok.
PERK
And I’ll have, the Spicetacular
Delight.
WAITRESS
I’m sorry, we’re all out of
Spicetacular.
PERK
Oh. In that case I’ll just have the
delight.
The Waitress smiles, takes the menus and leaves.
PERK
So.. this is groovy. Finally on our
hot date.
(CONTINUED)
5. CONTINUED: 4.
HOT SPACE GIRL
The view is nice.
She looks out the window.
HOT SPACE GIRL (CONTD..)
So close to the battlefield.
PERK
So how are you liking outerspace.
HOT SPACE GIRL
It’s alright. Lots of stars.
PERK
Oh that’s good.
There’s some awkward silence. They both drink their drinks.
PERK
Is this a little awkward.
Hot Space Girl drinks her drink.
PERK
It’s my doppleganger isn’t it.
Hot Space Girl drinks her drink.
HOT SPACE GIRL
No, I don’t care about your
doppleganger.
Hot Space Girl drinks her drink.
PERK
It is my doppleganger isn’t it.
That wasn’t me Hot Space Girl. My
doppleganger is a badass. I’m a
gentleman.
HOT SPACE GIRL
I know I know I get that. I realise
your doppleganger’s a super badass
and that had nothing to do with
you. It’s just... I thought it was
you.
PERK
And you bottled him.
(CONTINUED)
6. CONTINUED: 5.
HOT SPACE GIRL
There was quite a lot of claret.
They both finish their drinks.
PERK
When I met you at the bottlo on
Planet Z4-9, I...
Hot Space Girl covers Perk’s lips with a finger.
HOT SPACE GIRL
Do you like tequilla.
PERK
Is the Pope a snow boarder.
The waitress brings them some shots, they enjoy.
LATER ON...
IMPROV DATE WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS 1 MIN.A
LATER ON AGAIN...
There are many shot glasses on the table. And some dishes.
HOT SPACE GIRL
You know I think I have an idea how
to end your Civil War.
PERK
Please be that genius.
HOT SPACE GIRL
You know what the Rake love even
more than raking.
PERK
Being persistently annoying?
HOT SPACE GIRL
Karaoke.
Perk didn’t know that.
HOT SPACE GIRL (CONTD..)
And can you geuss what their
nemesis the Mop also loves.
(CONTINUED)
7. CONTINUED: 6.
PERK
Umm... I want to say being almost
as persistently annoying, but...
HOT SPACE GIRL
It begins with K, sounds awesome
and might just be the one thing you
can use to bring these people
together and end this beef.
PERK
You are that genius!
They have a shot to toast.
PERK
I know exactly what you’re
thinking.
Perk busts out the communicator.
PERK (CONTD..)
Beamer.
BEAMER
(v.o.)
Yes Captain.
PERK
1 sec..
(To Hot Space Girl)
What’s the best karaoke joint on
Planet Rake
HOT SPACE GIRL
The Pickled Possum.
PERK
Beamer... I want you to send a
photon blast to every Karaoke joint
on Planet Rake. Except The Pickled
Possum.
BEAMER
(v.o.)
Yes Captain. Sounds hectic. Arming
now.
PERK
Call them first. Tell them to
evacuate. Give them 4 minutes.
(CONTINUED)
8. CONTINUED: 7.

Perk out.
They toast.
HOT SPACE GIRL
To Peace. And Spicetacular.
PERK
To the Possum.
PICKLED POSSUM
There’s some Karaoke going on. Some Rakes and Mops start
turning up.
PERK DOES A KARAOKE NUMBER.
The rakes are on one side of the room. The mops are on the
other side. Suddenly the rakes and mops start scraping on.
Some crew taser them, miss Batllestar breaks a couple. Perk
hits up the microphone.
PERK
To all the Rakes and Mops here
today. Your beef ends today. Learn
to live together, in Peace, or no
more karaoke.
Heaps of punters cheer.
A MOP DOES A KARAOKE NUMBER, A RAKE CHIMES IN
Suddenly all the rakes and mops are hanging out with each
other dancing and swaying to the Love Peace song.
There’s heaps of Rakes and Mops chiming in. Some rakes turn
up to the starcrew and hand them a delivery of Spicetacular.
SPECK
Looks like we ended the war.
