Heaven's Full of Machines (doing a comic)

Idea for film...

EXT. OUTER SPACE, NIGHT (INT.? DAY.?)
Norrin Radd, the SILVER SURFER thrashes about the ionosphere, trapped in what Dylan Moran once called in an interview with Jonathan Ross "the washing machine of your own mind"

Suddenly...

HUMAN PORCH

Hello, pal.

SILVER SURFER
Who are thee? Thou? (Art thou?)

HUMAN PORCH
I am... the human porch!

SILVER SURFER
The human torch?!

HUMAN TORCH
Torch, yes. Thank you.

SILVER SURFER
But who is that mortal hanging from your flank?

DAWKINS

God, eh? What a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak!

HUMAN TORCH

It's Richard Dawkins, buster! I'm trying to give him a glimpse of the ineffable. Pang!

DAWKINS

What a vindictive, bloodthirsty, ethnic-cleansing, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, genocidal, capriciously malevolent bully!

HUMAN TORCH

And I thought the heavens might be just the crazy, wing-ding place!

DAWKINS

I defy anybody to disagree with any of those epithets.

ULYSSES 31

He's got a point.

DAWKINS

Also, have you ever noticed - right - how...

SILVER SURFER
Okay. Do you know Galacticus?

HUMAN PORCH

Galactus?

SILVER SURFER

Sorry. Yes. Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds. Size of a planet. Big hat.

DAWKINS

And the cosmos, eh? Bit overweight!

HUMAN PERCH

Yes. He's so tall though, why does he need the big hat? Chiwawah!

SILVER SURFER

He's big, but he's not tall. Actually he's quite squat from a distance –

DAWKINS
 
That's why he's such a hit with the Hindus.

SILVER SURFER

– of about five hundred thousand miles.

DAWKINS

Ganesha, eh? What an elephant-headed, rat-riding...

PETER CROUCH

Yes, but the hat if anything just makes him look more squat. (baby)

SILVER SURFER

Okay, but anyway, if thou lookest over there. Thou seest all those – well, those worlds?

HUMAN TOUCH

Mm-hmm-hmm.

SILVER SURFER
 
DAWKINS
Bloody Hell!


HUMAN TORCH

Cheers, Norris.

SILVER SURFER

Norrin.

DAWKINS

Bloody, bloody Hell!

KRISHNA

Okay? Now piss off back to the lab, Dawkins.

STAN LEE

The end?
