INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY

A MAN sits on the couch, mouth agape as he watches TV. In through the door BURSTS an out of breath man, GARY.

GARY (panting) Holy fucking shit did you hear?!?

MANShut up!

He picks up the remote and turns up the volume all the way on the TV as they both stare intensely.

INT. TV STUDIO - DAY

A REPORTER performs a broadcast while relevant images appear beside him throughout its duration.

REPORTER- and if you’re just tuning in at home and your TV hasn’t been vaporized yet, it appears that intergalactic aliens are invading the earth.

A picture shows beside him of a disgustingly hideous alien crushing a women’s face underneath it’s boot.

REPORTER (CONT’D)While we still don’t know much about the superior race, we do know they are indeed deadly, demonstrated by this exclusive footage.

The broadcast is taken over by a video showing...

EXT. STREET - DAY

A massive ALIEN, almost superfluous in its alien-ness has cornered a MAN and a WOMAN at the end of an alley. The video is shot from a camera held by the trembling man who stands in front of the woman to protect her.

MANStay back!

(CONTINUED)

The alien slowly slithers forward. The man grabs a garbage can and HURLS it at the alien, who absorbs it, grows three feet, and continues to slither forward. The man takes a hero’s lunge at the beast.

MANAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

The alien swipes him away easily and he flies into the side of the alleyway with a crash. The camera is now resting on the ground pointed at the woman as the alien slithers towards her. She screams as it ENGULFS HER WHOLE. The alien turns towards the man.

MANNo, please...please god! God help me!

At lightning speed it engulfs both him and the camera as static takes over the broadcast.

INT. TV STUDIO - DAY

The broadcast continues.

REPORTERFrightening stuff. It seems this terrorizing race of death mongering hell-raisers isn’t interested in negotiation or even our ample resources, they are simply set on ending the human race in its entirety.

He turns to another camera as a new picture appears that shows cartoon flags (U.S.A, Canada, China, Turkey, Iran) holding hands around the planet earth.

REPORTER (CONT’D)It seems that countries who were once at odds with one another have buried the hatchet and banded together to combine their strength in an attempt to fight back.

A picture shows a very exaggerated Arab and Israeli shooting an alien back to back.

REPORTER (CONT’D)They go by E.D.S, the Earth Defense Squad -

2.

A military logo for E.D.S appears, brilliantly photoshopped despite the alien invasion.

REPORTER (CONT’D)- and so far every country, big or small, white or black, is contributing in any way they can to defend against this mighty foe.

He turns to another camera, closer on his face.

REPORTER (CONT’D)They say that only under the most dire of circumstances do people show their true colours. I know things look grim but with all of us banded together? Well shoot, I’d say those aliens are in for one heck of a fight. Signing off, this is -

He puts his hand to an earpiece, listens, nods.

REPORTERFolks we have some breaking news from our field reporter Tom Hearthstone. Tom what have you got for us?

EXT. LARGE CEREMONY - DAY

TOM HEARTHSTONE stands covering one ear in front a large gathering of Chinese people as a Chinese dictator dressed in military garb shakes the hand of an alien and waves.

TOM Well Duke, it seems that the Chinese have sided with the aliens. Chinese leader Mai Jong is delivering his speech now.

The camera zooms in on MAI JONG as he delivers his speech in mandarin, subtitles below.

MAI JONG (yelling) Those E.D.S fools! With their access codes all other countries will be eradicated the Chinese will rule alongside the aliens until the end of time!

(CONTINUED)

3.

Mai Jong and the alien clasp hands and lift them jointly in the air. The massive crowd of people watching cheer loudly and wave chopsticks in the air.

TOMIt’s - it’s crazy over here Duke the Chinese are cheering to end of humanity and waving chopsticks in the air.

A bowl of rice whizzes by Tom’s head.

INT. TV STUDIO - DAY

The broadcast continues with Tom now in the screen beside the reporter as he talks.

REPORTERThey’re waving chopsticks and throwing rice? Are - are you sure Tom? Because that sounds incredibly racist.

TOMIt is incredibly racist Duke, but it’s exactly what’s happening at this horrid, horrid scene.

Mai Jong takes a giant E.D.S flags and holds it up as the alien breaths flames and burns it to a crisp instantly.

TOMThey’re burning flags, they’re eating rice, I’ve never seen anything quite like it Duke.

A Chinese person starts trying to feed Tom chicken with chopsticks. More come and start dumping rice on him.

TOM (CONT’D) (to the Chinese person)No. No. I don’t want any Kung Pao Chicken. No! NOOOOOO!!!!

Tom’s broadcast cuts out leaving the reporter in the studio in silence.

REPORTERWell if what we just saw is true then humanity truly has no hope. The Chinese were the focal point of our entire military operation.
