INT. BUS - DAY JIB SHOT: We Jib Down from a dusky day out on the open freeway onto a bus speeding moderately down into the abyss.

INT. BUS - DAY We cut onto The BUS DRIVER. extremely FAT, looks like JACOB ZUMA, with a deadpanned presence. A murky cloud of smoke-puff lurks down the rows and rows behind him. MUSIC is heard from a vintage boom box on the dashboard.

We reveal a convoy of mental patients, who are all pretty normal if you ask me. It’s the exact opposite of a mental patient to be exact. They are all BLACK PEOPLE, chilling it out as the bus drives along.

The Bus Driver switches the music off and the passengers look questioning. Bus Driver stops the Bus at a local "What looks like an aerie tavern" READING: DA: Department of Alcolhol.

EXT. TAVERN - DAY Bus Driver walks into the Tavern. We HOLD for about 1 minute. Time passes.

TYPOGRAPHY: Day 1. Day 2. Day 3. Day 4.

Bus Driver comes out. hammered drunk, with an even bigger puff of smoke following him around.

E/I. BUS - DAY He reaches the bus, and get’s in. looks over his shoulder and notices that all the passengers are gone.

He couldn’t care less. and drives onwards.

EXT. TAXI - DAY We’re at a taxi rank in central Johannesburg where there are no Taxi’s around. It’s clean. and there are about 10 WHITE PEOPLE looking for a lift, who are standing in a long row at the bus stop.

It’s even more aerie than at the Tavern.

The Bus Driver parks the bus and gets out. He looks at this group of privileged white people and smiles.

CUT TO: INT. BUS - LATER Now these white people are all retarded. All of them look like mental patients, which is perfect for the Bus Driver.

He turns the Music Back on.

DISSOLVE TO: EXT. THE ANC - DAY Our Murky day comes to and end when we reach THE ANC. SIGN: THE ASSOCIATION of NATIONAL CRAZY PEOPLE.(THE ANC) He parks at the boom gate of course and is welcomed by a SECURITY GUARD, who looks exactly like PAUL KRUGER. In Fact.

It is Paul KRUGER, wearing a drag-outfit. A pink one.

The Bus Driver offers Paul Kruger a cigarette, he takes it, and exchange is made. Bus Driver is in, driving to the entrance.

A SMALL BLUE DOOR with no one around, and a SIGN READING: REGISTER TO VOTE. Next to the door is a Lady, who looks like Helen Zille. In Fact, it is Helen Zille. This movie is getting ever more slightly insanely-crazy.

Passengers disembark. and stand in a row in front of the SMALL BLUE DOOR. Bus Driver walks over to Helen and offers her a cigarette.

HELEN No Thanks. Only when I drink.

Bus Driver takes out a bottle of CASTLE LIGHT LIME from his jacket. "One he got from the tavern & saved throughout the trip" BUS DRIVER Castle Light Lime.

(CONTINUED)

HELEN Do you have a bottle opener?

BUS DRIVER You don’t need one. It’s Premium.

Helen spins the cap and we TRACK INTO the DRINKING SHOT, similar to that of a Castle Light commercial.

The Small Blue Door explodes and all the passengers ZOMBIE-WALK inside.

Paul Kruger appears with a giant BOOM-BOX behind them, and switches it on. It’s our very own KURT DARREN’s KAPTEIN. Bus Driver and Helen Zille dance LANG-ARM as the passengers "REGISTER to VOTE" Paul Kruger does a balarina dance in his sexy pink outfit.
