《Wonderland: Origin Arc [Script]》2.10 - Get the Laptop
Advertisement
[Sissel quickly moves into a stairwell, empty. Once he’s in, he sits down and Tracey appears behind him with Goldberg.]
Tracey: Problem?
Sissel: [worried] I need to talk to Liv and steal Goldberg’s laptop.
Goldberg: Hey, if you’re gonna be working with me, you can call me Richard.
Sissel: [worried] I need Dick’s laptop.
Goldberg: [annoyed] Okay, you… you said that too quickly.
Tracey: How do we get Richie’s laptop?
Goldberg: I prefer that. Also before you guys saw me, I was mainly just… walking-
Sissel: Correction, haunting.
Goldberg: Whatever, I was in the college. And my stuff? It’s still here too.
[Tracey and Sissel turn to Goldberg.]
Goldberg: [confused] What? The powers-that-be told them to keep my stuff.
Tracey: [surprised] That doesn’t seem professional.
Goldberg: [defensive] Probably not, but it’s still good for us.
Sissel: If we’re keeping this power a secret then we’re gonna need to get that laptop. Wherever it is.
Goldberg: Still my office, last I checked.
Sissel: Well… Go Busters!
[Sissel raises his hands up in fists, where Tracey fists bumps it. He looks to Goldberg.]
Goldberg: Yeah, I’m not doing that.
[Sissel pushes himself up.]
Sissel: Suit yourself, Dick.
[Goldberg groans as Sissel walks up the stairs and through a corridor, following after him. Tracey stays in this room. Goldberg quickly catches up to Sissel.]
Goldberg: [annoyed] Just to clarify, can you not keep calling m-
Sissel: What was your power?
Goldberg: [annoyed] Pardon?
Sissel: I need to know your power. Now.
Goldberg: I could alter the reality of things that I touched.
Sissel: [chuckling] Okay, that’s pretty cool actually.
Goldberg: And my second-
[Sissel quickly stops Goldberg in a doorway.]
Sissel: [worried] I’m sorry, did you just say second?
Goldberg: Yeah… some people get a second power.
Sissel: [worried] I…

[Sissel quickly gets his notebook out and scribbles in it.]
Sissel: [worried] I will keep that noted.
Goldberg: [confused] Anyway, my second power? I could see the future.
[Sissel nods, scribbling it down on his page as “future, 2” directly over the word “Chelsea”. He quickly closes the book.]
Goldberg: [confused] Okay, how the hell do you understand that? That’s just a mess.
Sissel: It just works, come on.
[Sissel quickly moves towards a lift, heading in with Goldberg. It starts going up.]
Sissel: Tracey already there?
Goldberg: I’d be surprised if she wasn’t.
Sissel: Then can you help me with something?
Goldberg: [confused] I already am?
Sissel: I need you to help Tracey move into a proper afterlife.
[Goldberg looks to Sissel.]
Goldberg: [surprised] Seriously?
Sissel: Look, you… you a religious man?
Goldberg: [surprised] Well… okay, yes, but I’m not even close to devout enough to understand why we’re still on Earth! We go somewhere else, I don’t know the story of how we get there.
Sissel: Yeah, well, we need to do something.
[Goldberg looks at Sissel surprised.]
Goldberg: [surprised] Why? I… based on how you were acting about it, I thought you would wanna keep her around.
[Sissel shakes his head.]
Sissel: That’s not what she deserves.
Goldberg: [surprised] Okay… okay, I’ll try and… try and find something. Anything.
Sissel: [hesitant] Thank you.
Goldberg: Just give me time.
[Goldberg slowly fades away as the door opens. Sissel makes it out and sees Tracey there, smiling.]
Tracey: Hey.
Sissel: Hey.
[They come over and hold hands, then move towards the offices.]
Tracey: Do you know your way around here?
Sissel: Shouldn’t be hard, I mean…
[Sissel opens a door to show the office rooms lined up.]
Sissel: One of these rooms is going to be missing a name surely, so just find-

Tracey: [triumphant] Did it!
[Sissel looks surprised as Tracey drags her over to the door labelled “23”. The name tag has been removed. Sissel is dumbfounded.]
Sissel: [dumbfounded] How the hell do I function without you?
Tracey: [triumphant] I ask myself every day.
[She quickly kisses Sissel and moves through the door, making him sigh.]
Sissel: [loud] I can’t do that.
Tracey: [through door] Sorry.
[Sissel grabs the door handle, shaking it a bit. He tries to push the door open, bashing into it from the side.]
Tracey: [through door] Need help?
Sissel: [loud] It’s fine, I’ll… sort it out eventually.
Tracey: [through door] Don’t need my help?
Sissel: [loud] Not right now.
[The door suddenly glows bright, scaring Sissel and making him fall back. He falls to the ground, now seen by Hyde.]
Hyde: What are you doing?
[Sissel jumps again.]
Tracey: [through door] Are you okay?
Sissel: [jumpy] I just… I-I needed to get to Goldberg’s office.
Hyde: Well it isn’t Goldberg’s office anymore, it’s mine.
[He moves in front of the door.]
Sissel: [jumpy] W-why is that?
Hyde: Well when a teacher dies…
[He moves in front of the door, sliding in “Louis Hyde” where the name tag should go.]
Hyde: And you then take their job, it usually means that they don’t get an office anymore.
[Hyde unlocks the door as Sissel gets up.]
Sissel: [jumpy] Okay.
[Hyde opens the door and finds the desk with a series of boxes across it and Goldberg’s laptop still out. He sighs.]
Hyde: I can deal with this.
[Hyde enters, Sissel quickly entering the doorway and seeing Tracey sat on the desk.]
Hyde: [joking] Even got me a free laptop!
Tracey: That isn’t his, is it?
[Sissel shook his head as Hyde turns on the laptop.]
Sissel: [hesitant] Hey, I don’t think-
Hyde: [defensive] I’m just trying to see if it works, don’t worry about it.
[Hyde turns on the computer and sees the screensaver, face dropping. He sighs and closes the laptop.]
Sissel: [confused] C-can I get it now?
Hyde: [worried] Yeah, sure. This is Goldberg’s, right?
Sissel: Yeah, it is.
[Tracey looks at Hyde’s face intensely.]
Hyde: Seems like a nice guy.
[Sissel nods, turning and walking out of the room. Once the door is closed, Hyde leans down to the desk and sighs. His phone gets a message, which he checks. The name Whitley Barbit is there.]
Rabbit: [text only] Do it now. Or else you’re gone.
[Hyde sighs, pocketing his phone. Outside, Sissel is booting up Goldberg’s computer with Tracey by his shoulder. The screensaver comes up.]
Tracey: Okay, did it! Recognize anyone?
Sissel: [certain] Nope.
[Tracey sighs.]
Tracey: Well so much for a good start.
