SCRIPT CONCEPT

First Script

PANEL 1

It is the first day for Alter and Ego, two artificial deities created to guide the newly evolved humans into the afterlife. Born from the creator of all life, the immortal beings are excited to fulfil their duties, especially after hearing good stuff from their friends from other Resource sectors.
Alter and Ego waiting in the elevator with their things, going up to Human Resources. The elevator music being the only sound at the
moment.

ALTER: Can you believe it?

EGO: ...

(EGO RAISES A BROW IN QUESTION)

ALTER: A.G. finally gives us a task after so long!
(ALTER FIST PUMPS THE AIR IN
VICTORY)

EGO:
(VERY CONFUSED)
A.G.?

ALTER: Yeah, A.G., as in Almighty God!

EGO:
(EGO ROLLS THEIR EYES)
Of course.
(SIGHS)
After a millennia with you, I'm still not used to your foolish lingo.

ALTER:
(LAUGHS)
Then you better sit tight for the next few millennias!

The elevator door dings.

ALTER (CONT’D):
(EXCITED)
This is going to be...

(CONTINUED)

PANEL 2

Time skip to the year 2001, Alter and Ego are lounging around in
their office.
Ego sitting at their desk on the left, Alter laying on the sofa in the middle.

ALTER: Boring. I am SO bored!
(THEY EXASPERATE VEHEMENTLY)
What is up with these humans and their dull mundane lives?

EGO:
(BUSY FILING AND SORTING THROUGH PAPERS AND THEIR TABLET)
Alter, not every day will be as exciting as the humans' World Wars. Just wait a little while. It's-

ALTER:
(MIMICS EGO)
Just a "phase". Ego, you say that all the time and I've been patient...but come on. DOPPEL and GANG'R have more going on at the moment.
(SILENCE)

ALTER:
(SHOUTING)
LIZARD PEOPLE, Ego! Frickin' lizard people have more going on than us.

EGO:
(SIGHS)
To be fair, reptilian coitus gets heavily
violent on a daily. Reptile Resources have a higher daily influx than us.
(STAMPS A PAPER)
They don't get breaks.

ALTER: I guess...I never liked DOPPEL to begin with...
(ALTER HUFFS AND CROSSES THEIR
ARMS)

EGO:
(EGO LOOKS AT ALTER STERNLY)
Just because you look like DOP-

ALTER:
(ALTER INTERRUPTS AND STANDS UP)
HEY! DOPPEL looks like ME! I was created first!

EGO:
(SIGHS)
You are such a...um...what's that word that the humans use?

ALTER: Omnipotent being?

EGO: No.

ALTER: Majestic angel?

EGO: No.

ALTER: Devil in disguise?

EGO: No...
(SCRATCHES CHIN)
But it's pretty close, I think...
(SILENCE TO THINK)
Ah, yes. Immature child.
(NODS VICTORIOUSLY TO SELF)

ALTER:
(STARES WITH CONFUSION)
How is that even close?

EGO: Children are devils.

ALTER:
(SPEECHLESS BUT NODS AND SHRUGS
IN AGREEMENT)

The elevator dings to then signify that a human has arrived at their office.
