Written by Jason Donner

FADE IN

LIAM'S APARTMENT - DAY
The room is empty for a moment as the camera zooms in on a BUZZ LIGHTYEAR
doll and a WOODY doll sitting on a shelf.  The camera holds on them for a few
more moments waiting... waiting... waiting...

		WOODY
	What are YOU looking at!?  Think we're going to come 
	to life and prance around or something?

		BUZZ
	Yeah, Beat it!  This is Real Life!  Stuff like that 
	just doesn't happen!

The camera pans away from them and to a GREEN LANTERN Bean Bag doll.

		GREEN LANTERN
	Oh, no!  Don't look at me either!

The camera pans past Green Lantern and finds the door.  LIAM SMITH busts in
holding a BLOCKBUSTER BAG.

		LIAM
	I got it!  I got it!  I.... GOT IT!!!

Liam takes a VIDEO TAPE out of the bag and shoves it into his VCR.  He grabs
a bag of POPCORN and a SODA and leaps onto the couch.

		LIAM
	I've been waiting months for Kari Wuhrer's new direct 
	to video movie to get here and now it's here!  At long 
	last... it's here!

SHOW TV

KARI WUHRER appears on the television.

		KARI
	Thank you for renting Kari Wuhrer's Catholic High 
	School Group Shower, Mudbath, and Orgy Part VII.  I'm 
	the star, Kari Wuhrer formerly of television's Sliders.

INSERT SHOT

Liam freezes as Kari appears.

THE TV

		KARI
	I'd like to dedicate this movie to the one man in my 
	life.  One man... who I haven't seen in a couple of 
	years...  The one man... MY one man.

Kari begins to massage her chest and breathe into the camera.

		KARI
	Oh, baby... I wish you was here with me now, oh... 
	What I wouldn't do to my little Las Vegas man!

Kari begins to hyperventilate and lick her lips passionately.

		KARI
	Oh, I'm getting so... HOT!  OH!  OH!  OH!  GOD, 
	YES!  YES!!!  YES!!!

Kari begins to orgasm.

CUT TO
Liam is leaning over the coffee table wide-eyed at what he is seeing.  Woody,
Buzz, and the Green Lantern doll are sitting on the back of the couch equally
amazed.

		BUZZ
	Wow, what a slut!

		LIAM
		[shocked]
	WHA...!?

Liam quickly turns around but, as he does, the soda flies out of his hand and
lands on top of the VCR causing it to smoke and spit out sparks and flames. 
Kari Wuhrer's image distorts and fades and the audio turns into a loud
farting noise.

		LIAM
	Kari!  Nooooooooooooooooo!!!

		WOODY
	Oh, hell... I just know he's going to blame us for 
	this!

Theme Song (sung to the theme of "You Got a Friend in Me")

It's time for Liam Smith.
It's time for Liam Smith.
I thought this show should have petered out,
but a lot of our fans are quite devote.
They want to know what we're all about,
Oh, it's time of Liam Smith.
It's time for Liam Smith.
It's time for Liam Smith.

OLÉ!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FADE IN HARRY THE HANDYMAN is hard at work fixing Liam's VCR as Liam watches in the background clutching a pillow and rocking back and forth, muttering to himself. HARRY Relax, guy. I don't normally do this, but I'll have your VCR working in no time. LIAM Must see... Catholic High School Group Shower, Mudbath, and Orgy Part VII! HARRY Ah, the new Kari Wuhrer direct to video movie. You know, there's been something I've been meaning to ask you... You know, ever since I first met you, you seem to have this strange attachment to Kari Wuhrer almost as if you've actually met her. Care to fill me in on that, good buddy? LIAM It was so... long... ago, Harry and it's such a long story. It all began back in... Harry puts the cover back on the VCR. HARRY No time to listen, I'm done. LIAM Oh... Well, that didn't take long. HARRY I didn't have a recording head handy, so I used this. Harry holds up a glowing green rock. HARRY It fell to Earth from outer space last year and the strange glowing ooze I found inside seemed to make the perfect VHS recording head, however, I must warn you that it's unknown properties make it dangerous to... Liam starts pushing Harry out the door. LIAM Yeah, yeah, yeah... Less talking more bouncing. Must watch Kari Wuhrer sex movie! Okay, bye-bye now! Liam slams the door and jumps back onto the couch. He tries to use his remote but it doesn't work. LIAM DAMMIT! Well, guess I'll have to do this the old fashioned way. Liam gets up and hits the play button. INSERT: THE TV The end credits are rolling. LIAM What the...!? Huh, I guess the movie was still playing while Harry was working on the VCR. No problem, I'll just rewind the movie! Liam presses the rewind button. Suddenly, the VCR begins to hum in a bright green glow. LIAM ...the hell!? Liam grabs the VCR just as it is engulfed in a spectacular Quantum Leap type special effect. When the effect subsides, Liam and the VCR are gone. RIPPLE DISSOLVE TO A 17th century village. Villagers are roaming around in signature black and white clothing. SUBTITLE Las Vegas, 1692 Two villagers approach each other. They are JEBIDIAH and THACERY JEBIDIAH What ho, Thacery? THACERY Jebidiah, tis a good morrow. JEBIDAH Indeed. Did thou catchith thine latest Vicoria's Secret catalogue? The new fashions show the whole ankle! THACERY Surly ye jest! Thine would be obscene! JEBIDAH Indeed... But very fetching. THACERY Ah, good friend. Methinks nothing should disrupt our humble and happy lifestyle. JEBIDIAH Tis a fine wish. Suddenly, Liam holding a VCR appears in the Quantum Leap type effect. Jebidiah and Thacery jump back. THACERY What in God's name? LIAM Where the hell am I? JEBIDIAH Tis a witch! Thou usith Satan's name! THACERY Run! Run like the wind! Jebidiah and Thacery run like hell. LIAM Hey wait! I just... nevermind. Where am I? Is this some kind of new dark ages casino? TOWN HALL Jebidiah and Thacery run into the hall and meet MAYOR THADDEUS DONNER (played by Jason Donner who also plays DONNER) JEBIDIAH Mayor Donner! Thacery and I sawith a witch in the square, thereily! THACERY Tis the truth he speaks! We must kill the cursed creature... Thereliy! THADDEUS DONNER Jebidah! Thacery! This is 1692! We can't just runith around killing people left and right just because we assumeith thou art witches! We must put thine person on trial and tryith him in a fair and impartial way... [a beat] ...and THEN we shall killith him... Thereily! Thaddeus Donner goes to a glass case containing an unlit torch and the words "In case of Witch, break glass". He breaks the glass and takes the torch and lights it. THADDEUS DONNER Let's smackith this witch up! MUSIC STING FADE OUT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - M&Ms: They Melt in Your Mouth and Not in Your Hands. - Lays: You Can't Eat Just One. - Dyanetics by L. Ron Hubbard. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FADE IN THE COURT HOUSE Liam is tied up and stands before the angry townsfolk who keep chanting, "Burnith the witch! Burnith the witch!". At the prosecution side stands Jebidiah and Thacery ready to convict Liam of witchery. Mayor Thaddeus Donner sits on the judge's stand wearing one of those powdered wig thingies. At the defense sits COLIN MALLORY, Liam's only hope for a fair trial. THADDEUS DONNER Thacery, Jebidiah... State your case. JEBIDIAH Thank you, your honor. Ladies and gentlemen of thy jury. Thy man that sitith in front of thou is a witch. We ask that we be allowed to burnith he... thereily! We restith our case. Jebidiah sits and the crowd goes wild. CROWD BURNITH THE WITCH!!! BURNITH THE WITCH!!! THADDEUS DONNER Good job, men. Now - as if there is really any point - Colin Mallory shall make his case for the defense. Thaddeus Donner takes out a paper and starts to read. The headline reads "PRESIDENTIAL SEX SCANDAL: HE LOOKED AT HER KNEES!" Colin stands. COLIN Ladies and gentlemen of the jury... Lookith around you... Lookith at what you're doing! Thou art using circumstantial evidence to condemn a man to death! You all claim to be God's servants, but you violate God's law by killing! Is this was God wants for thou to do? For goodness sake, people, it's 1692! The days of rampant witch burning should be left behind us! Let us takeith our civilization into the 18th century! Ladies and gentlemen, I implore thou! Say nay to burning... say yay to progress! Thine children will thankith thee! The courtroom is silent for a moment until an old woman jumps up in the back. OLD WOMAN COLIN MALLORY'S A WITCH! BURNITH HIM! CROWD BURNITH HIM!!! BURNITH HIM!!! A throng of people grab Colin and drag him outdoors. The roar of a fire can be heard as the crowd re-enters. THADDEUS DONNER Riiiiiiight. Well, now that THAT'S it out of the way. Liam Smith, how douth thous plead to the charge of witchcraft? LIAM How do I plead? How do I plead? How about... DON'T BURN ME AT THE STAKE!? How's that for pleading? THADDEUS DONNER Not bad, but I could have used more tears. You know, more feeling. COLIN [from outside] OH, GOD! IT BURNS, IT BURNS! THADDEUS DONNER Sort of like that. LIAM I see. THADDEUS DONNER Liam Smith, I hearby findith thou guilty of witchcraft! JEBIDIAH Thereily! THADDEUS DONNER Yes, thereily! Thereily I find thee guilty and thereily I shall condemn thee to be burned at yonder stake until thee art dead! Thereily! LIAM But I'm not a witch! THADDEUS DONNER Tis what they all sayith! LIAM Maybe that's what they all say because they're all innocent! THADDEUS DONNER A likely story. Takeith him to thy stake! THACERY Uhhh, Mayor Donner... We only haveith one stake and thy stake is currently in use... thereily. COLIN OH, GOD! PLEASE! JUST LET ME DIE! LET ME DIE! THADDEUS DONNER Thou art right, of course. We shall have to waitith until Colin Mallory burnith out like yon candle wick! It should not takith TOO long. JEBIDIAH Thereily. THADDEUS DONNER Yes, thereily. CUT TO A 17th century jail cell. The flames from Colin's burning are visible through the window. SUBTITLE TWO DAYS LATER COLIN JESUS H. CHIRST, ALLMIGHTY! PLEASE, SOMEONE SHOOTITH ME IN THY HEAD! I WANT TO DIE!!! I WANT TO DIE!!! LIAM Wow, he must have ate a lot of oily food. MISTER HILTER suddenly appears out of a doorway made of light. He steps through and the door shuts. LIAM Mister Hilter! What are you doing here in 1692? HILTER Actually, I'm still in the year 2000. Harry made a holographic imager that's transmitting my image to you kind of like that show, Quantum... LIAM Jeapers! Mister Hilter! I'm stuck in 1692! How am I going to get home!? HILTER We're working on that, Liam. As far as we can figure you have do do something to change history for the better before you are sent home. LIAM What am I supposed to do? HILTER Well, according to Ziggy, you... LIAM Ziggy? HILTER The funny looking quantum physisist from next door. LIAM Oh. HILTER Acording to Ziggy, there's a 78% chance you're here to put an end to the witch trials before a Mister Colin Mallory is burned at the stake. Liam bites his lip and looks outside. COLIN IT BURNS!!! IT BURNS!!! HILTER [looks outside] Oh. Well... Okay. LIAM Maybe I'm just supposed to put an end to the witch trials period. HILTER I doubt that. Just do as I tell you! Liam walks over to the toliet and starts taking a leak. LIAM You know, you think you're so smart but honestly... How much time travel have YOU done in your lifetime! HILTER More than you think, Liam. Just do as I say and you'll be all right! Jebidiah walks in and, of course, he doesn't see Mister Hilter. Only Liam taking a wizz. Liam doesn't notice him. LIAM You know, this is always how it goes, isn't it? Whenever I find myself in a pickle, you just pop up and start telling me what to do! I don't know why I ever listen to you and that funny-looking bald head of yours! You just keep quiet and I'll figure out a way out of this myself! Now, now... don't get all down because I yelled at you. Perk up! JEBIDIAH Ye god! Thou art more sick than we thoughith! Thou cur speakith to thine pee pee! Jebidiah runs off. LIAM What's his problem? Hasn't he ever had to pee before? Don't they do that in 1692? CUT TO TOWN SQUARE Colin's fire is still burning. COLIN What's that smell? What's that burning pork smell? Oh, yeah... THAT'S ME!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! CUT TO THE JAIL CELL SUBTITLE TWO MORE DAYS LATER LIAM Wow, must be all of that greese on his face. Very flamable. Thaddeus Donner, Jebidiah, and Thacery enter. THADDEUS DONNER All right, Liam Smith. We have been waiting longith enough! THACERY Thereily! LIAM I am not a witch! I'm just from the future! From the year 2000! JEBIDIAH Tis a ruse! Just like the Mcfly witch or that guy in the police box we burned! THADDEUS DONNER Tis the truth! Thou art a witch, Liam Smith! LIAM But I am innocent! THADDEUS DONNER If you're so innocent, why won't thou admit that you are not? LIAM Because I'm not! THADDEUS DONNER Innocent? LIAM A witch. THADDEUS DONNER No matter! Since we don't have a stake to burnith you on, we are just going to let you go! LIAM That's good! THADDEUS DONNER ...if you can passith our test! LIAM Passith what test? THADDEUS DONNER The test we have called, "The Test You Must Passith If you Art Not a Witch!" LIAM I see. What's involved in this test? Can I study for it? THADDEUS DONNER We shall dunkith thee in thy river. If thou survivith, thou art a witch and we shall burnith thee! If thou drownith, thou art innocent and thou shall be set free! JEBIDIAH Thereily! LIAM Wait a minute, if I drown then I'll still be... THADDEUS DONNER Thy trial shall beginith tomorrow morning! Donner, Jebidiah, and Thacery leaves. LIAM Why me? Why am I always tortured like this? COLIN AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! LIAM Oh, shut up! MUSIC STING FADE OUT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is it Live or Memorex? Duracel: The Coppertop. Pringles: One you stop, you can't stop! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FADE IN THE RIVER - THE NEXT DAY Liam has been tied to a large rock and is sitting next to the river. The townsfolk are gathered around ready to watch the execution. Mister Hilter is there also in holographic form. LIAM This looks bad, Mister Hilter. HILTER Very bad, kid. In fact, I don't see a humanly way possible for you to get out of this with your life. This is the end of the road for you, Liam. But don't worry... I'll be here for you. LIAM Thanks, Mister Hilter. HILTER But the second you hit that water, I'm outta here. I tried to sit through Faces of Death once and I just couldn't. I'm too squeamish. I can't stand the fact that water will be filling your lungs... LIAM Mister Hilter? HILTER ...causing microscopic blood vessels to pop... LIAM Uh, Mister Hilter? HILTER ...filling your weakened lungs with blood, water, and puss until they burst... LIAM MISTER HILTER!? HILTER Hmm? Oh, like I was saying, Liam, my boy. I'll be here for as long as you know. LIAM Believe it or not, that's the second nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Thaddeus Donner walks up with Jebidiah and Thacery. THADDEUS DONNER Doth thou haveith any last words, oh condemned one. THACERY Thereily? LIAM Yes, I do. The crowd moans in disgust. LIAM I know you fear me. To you, I'm sure that my futuristic way of conversation and dress may seem scary and, yes, a little sacrilegious. But that's the way things are in the 21st century. That's what the morals of this country are founded on... Freedom! The freedom to be yourself and not fear persecution! The freedom to dress, talk, and act the way you want without worrying about the masses. Oh, people... the future is such a great place. Sure, we've got out problems and individual strifes, but we have our freedom too and we've fought wars and stuff to keep it and we wouldn't trade it for... SPLASH! Liam and the big rack as pushed into the river. THADDEUS DONNER There! Methinks thou would'st hath never shut up! LIAM Oh, this is JUST GREAT! Everyone looks out onto the water and sees that Liam and the rock are only submerged about a foot. JEBIDIAH Dear me, I could have sworn the river was deeper than that! THADDEUS DONNER Well, this is just peachy! Fishith him out of there and we shall try again further downstream! COLIN No! THADDEUS DONNER Wha...!? Everyone turns around and sees COLIN MALLORY stagger towards the crowd, determination beaming from his blackened face. He's still smoking and he's got a little flame flickering on his shoulder. THADDEUS DONNER Colin Mallory! How did'st thou...!? COLIN Survivith thy flames? I was innocent and so is Liam Smith! There be no such thing as witches! Thou art all mad! I begith you, stop this now! THADDEUS DONNER Well... you DID surviveith the trial by fire and thou ART entitled to one wish. COLIN Then I wishith for thou to stop the killings! Stop the witch trials! THADDEUS DONNER Then thy shall be done! Let Liam Smith go! Jebidiah and Thacery cut Liam loose from the big rock as the villagers boo and hiss. LIAM Wow, thanks for your help, Colin. COLIN Notith a problem. THADDEUS DONNER Now, all we have to do is burnith Colin and everything shall be right as rain! The townsfolk grab Colin and start back to the square with him. COLIN But! But! You said no more witch trails! THADDEUS DONNER And there shant be. But your trial is already over and you've been sentenced to die by burning at thy stake! COLIN But I wished... THADDEUS DONNER You wished for Liam Smith to be freed and he is. A rather stupid thing to do in my opinion. COLIN Nooooooooooooooooooo!!! Everyone but Thaddeus Donner and Liam leaves. THADDEUS DONNER Now, my young friend, is there anything I can doith for thou? LIAM I guess I need my VCR back. It's how I traveled back in time to here in the first place. THADDEUS DONNER Consider it done. Thereily! Tellith me, what is the year 2000 like? LIAM Oh, it's not so bad. We've got the internet, digital satellite TV, DVD, 24 hour porno channels, and a fascinating little device called telephone dating. You know, now that I think of it... I'm best friends with your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, greatgreatgreatgreatgreat grandson, Jason Donner. THADDEUS DONNER That is fascinating. Come, before thou returnith to thy wonderful future, we shall have a celebration! There shall be apple-bobbing, square dancing, and fiddles. We shall party as if it is 1699! LIAM Wow, just like the Bob Dole campaign rally! THADDEUS DONNER Oh, thou knows young Bob Dole? FADE TO: TOWNS SQUARE - THE NEXT DAY Colin Mallory is still screaming and burning at the stake. Witches are flying on broomsticks all over the town kidnapping children and terrorizing the populous. CITY HALL Thaddeus Donner is shooting at the sky with his musket. THADDEUS DONNER [mocking Colin] There's no such thing as witches. Nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa! Thaddeus fires into the sky and a witch falls on the ground. He takes a pencil and makes another mark on the window lattice. TOWN SQUARE Liam and the holographic Hilter are putting the finishing touches on the VCR. LIAM There! Are you sure this is going to... Liam ducks to avoid a low-flying witch. LIAM ...to bring me back to the future? HILTER Either that or it will turn your body inside out in a big heaping pile of sinew and nasty bloody stuff. LIAM A simple yes or no will do. Liam sits the VCR aside and watches the witch-induced chaos. LIAM You know, all this time I thought that people of this era were crazy to have allowed witch trials and stuff. Who would have thought that they were really exterminating witches all along? Do you think we've irreparably destroyed the future by what we've done here today? HILTER I don't think so. I mean, after all, I'm still here in 2000 and everything looks pretty much normal. It looks like all of your speeches about freedom and the future amounted to dick because things still turn out the way they always did. Funny. LIAM Yeah. Well, I guess it's time for me to come home. Liam picks up the VCR. LIAM So long, 1692. TOWNSFOLK and WITCHES So long, Liam Smith. OLD WOMAN You twit! COLIN Auuuuuuuuuugh!!! Liam presses the "fast foreword" button and disappears in a Quantum Leap type effect. RIPPLE DISSOLVE TO: LAS VEGAS - As before. SUBTITLE LAS VEGAS... 3212 AD Liam Smith appears in the middle of a casino populated by talking apes. APE #1 Oh dear, what a horrible floor show! APE #2 What shall we do with the human? APE #3 Let's... BURN IT! LIAM Gah! Get your hands off of me, you DAMNED DIRTY APES! Liam presses "rewind" and vanishes. RIPPLE DISSOLVE TO: LIAM'S APARTMENT Liam is sitting on the couch watching Kari Wuhrer on TV. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE. KARI I'd like to dedicate this movie to the one man in my life. One man... who I haven't seen in a couple of years... The one man... MY one man. Kari begins to massage her chest and breathe into the camera. KARI Oh, baby... I wish you was here with me now, oh... What I wouldn't do to my little Las Vegas man! Kari begins to hyperventilate and lick her lips passionately. KARI Oh, I'm getting so... HOT! OH! OH! OH! GOD, YES! YES!!! YES!!! The TIME TRAVELING LIAM SMITH FROM THE FUTURE appears. Liam Smith from the past doesn't notice. FUTURE LIAM Wow! I'm back where I started! PAST LIAM What the...!? Past Liam jumps and his soda douses the VCR causing the picture to go screwy and the sound to turn into a prolonged farting noise. PAST LIAM No! Kari, No! [to Future Liam] Look what you had me do! FUTURE LIAM Sorry man. Maybe you should get Harry to fix it! FUTURE LIAM presses "fast foreword" on his VCR and disappears. Past Liam picks up the phone. PAST LIAM Hello, Harry? Yeah, I just caused myself to break my VCR and I told me to call you because I said you could fix it and then I vanished. [a pause] You heard me! RIPPLE DISSOLVE TO: LIAM'S APARTMENT Liam appears and checks the calendar. Success! LIAM Thank God! Mister Hilter enters. LIAM Oh, Mister Hilter! I'm back! I'm back from 1692! HILTER Indeed you are! Come now, there's work to be done! LIAM What work? HILTER The work, of the empire! The work... of our beloved Fuer! Hilter turns to go out the door and we see that he is wearing a NAZI SWASTIKA on one arm. Liam goes to the window and peers out. INSERT SHOT EXT. LAS VEGAS It's a nightmare. In this perverted alternate version of 2000, Nazi Germany has conquered the USA. There are Nazi Swastikas and Nazi troops everywhere. LIAM Yes, I AM going to fix this. [he looks at the camera] But first! The walks over to the TV, hooks up the VCR, and hits play. Kari Wuhrer's Catholic High School Group Shower, Mudbath, and Orgy VII begins to play as we...
