Marty speaks with the all-knowing Seers

It would be great if I can keep up this unlikely pace. Scenes 8 and 9 are completed. This means half of the sequences are done and I am roughly at the 50% mark. I’m hoping to jump into Scene 10 tomorrow or within the next few days. I am also hoping to cut a new Work-In-Progress video to put online in the near future. In the meantime, I have more Intergalactic Bathrooms and Earthbound Kitchens to animate. Ciao!

INT. INTERGALACTIC BATHROOM – IRRELEVANT

A rather ordinary bathroom. Dumb Waiter slides up from the floor. Marty exits. He is flanked by a toilet, a shower head and a mirror.

DUMB WAITER
See ya!

Dumb Waiter drops into the floor. Marty addresses the room with outstretched hands.

MARTY
Oh clever Seers of time and space, come visit me in this place!

A Beat.

Three heads appear: one in the toilet, one in the mirror, one in the shower head. As they speak, they alternate phrases.

THE SEERS
Marty Mitchell… our clever friend… what brings you to the Intergalactic Bathroom?

MARTY
There is trouble in Fridge Land. I left out some meat over night.

The Seers gasp.

MARTY
It went bad… really bad. I have to save Fridge Land and King Pickle. I need your help.

Marty meets the Enzymes for the first time

Here is a first look at the Enzymes who live on Pancreas Island in the Land of Gastros.

Marty stops, surprised by the noise. He looks around, but sees no one.

MARTY
Who said that?

DOCTOR ENZYME
Down here, Bigfoot!

Marty looks down. At his feet are a large number of odd and small creatures. They are ENZYMES.

MARTY
Whoa! Who are you?

DOCTOR ENZYME
Don’t you know anything?! We’re enzymes, you big interloper!

Marty is confused.

Marty speaks with Mr. Dumb Waiter

Work continues on the Pilot Episode.
Here are two screenshots of Marty meeting with Mr. Dumb Waiter and being transported to the Intergalactic Bathroom.

INT. DUMB WAITER ROOM – DAY
Marty enters the room and approaches a small DUMB WAITER.

MARTY
Open up, Mr. Dumb Waiter. I must
visit the Intergalactic Bathroom.

The Dumb Waiter opens and Marty climbs inside.

DUMB WAITER
(mumbling)
How rude.

The Dumb Waiter launches into outer space with Marty inside.

Mr. Dumb Waiter travels to the Intergalactic Bathroom

So you’ve seen the Marty preview and maybe you are a little curious about the story premise of the pilot episode. Fear not my friends, using the powers of Wordle.net, I have created the above image to give you hints. It is a software-generated piece of art composed of the most-recurring words from the script. The larger the word, the more often it appears in the script. Obviously, the word ‘Marty’ plays a pretty big role. Click the image to see a larger version and let your imagination run wild.
