Chasing Youth
Chasing Youth was a fun little script I wrote that was meant to be a feel-good comedy set in the vein of movies like "Freaky Friday" and "18 Again". However, there is something novel about my pitch in the visual gag of having children voice acted by adults. In other words the kids wouldn't just act older they would actually sound older. (This about the E-trade ads) Could be pretty funny - if it was well written. :)
The
following is an excerpt from the larger document Chasing Youth by
Michael P. Malone.
Synopsis:
Griffin and
Elizabeth Roberts have lived full lives in their small home town of
Richfield. They have been very happy together and are deeply in love,
but Griffin has always had the specter of failure hanging over him.
An Inventor who likes to dream big and build revolutionary
contraptions has had most of his dreams end in failure.
Now
the local Richfield bank has been robbed and Griffin, using his
latest experimental contraption, has inadvertently turned himself and
his loving wife, Elizabeth, into children!
This
mad capped adventure pits two kids against the bank robbers
and an unforgiving land lord who is about to evict them. Will they be
able to retrieve the parts for the broken machine and be able to turn
themselves back into adults before being captured by the Police,
evicted by the Land Lord or worse yet, run down by the Bank Robbers?
Chasing
Youth is basically a fun story in the vein of family movies such as
‘Freaky Friday’, ‘Honey I shrunk the Kids’ and ‘Home
Alone’. While it is filled with elements of action and adventure
its’ unique hook and main comedic components come in the form of
two children acting like retirees. Although they’ve accidentally
turned themselves into children, they still have the minds and voices
of 70 year old adults.
Set
up: Griffin
and Elizabeth have accidentally turned themselves into children. The
bank robbers and cops are chasing them and, though they have the part
needed to fix the machine, they need to get back to the lab before
being caught.

Full screenplay available upon request.
Griffin
and Elizabeth are now fully determined to head back to the lab to fix
The Reciprocator when they walk past a TV repair shop. There are many
TV’s in the display window. They are all showing the news of the
day.
Griffin
stops.
Griffin
Hey.
Wait. Look at this.
The
two stop and are staring in the display window.
TV
…The
latest reports are that the three bank robbers are still at large.
They are believed to be armed and dangerous and still in the
Hapersville area. First National Bank has offered a $500,000 thousand
dollar reward for any information that will lead to the apprehension
of these suspects…
Griffin
(turning
to Elizabeth)Oh my, $500,000 dollars!?!?
He
leans over closer and begins whispering.
Griffin
(mock-singing
like ‘come out, come out wherever you are’ in hide and seek)And
we know were they are.
Suddenly,
Elizabeth now seems distant; she is staring at her reflection in the
window.
The
reflection of a child.
Griffin
Elizabeth?
(no
response)
Elizabeth?
What’s wrong?
Elizabeth
Phew,
nothing. Being young is just sooo tiring.
Griffin
I’ve
known my gal long enough to know when something’s wrong. What is
it? Spill the beans.
Elizabeth
Sits down on the curb and starts to cry. Griffin sits next to her.
She
looks at Griffin trembling. Her eyes begin to well with tears.
Griffin
Talk
to me honey. Tell me what’s going on. I can’t help if you won’t
talk to me.
Elizabeth
Oh
Griffin, I can’t take it anymore. What are we doing? This is all
wrong.
Griffin
I’ll
fix it Liza. I will. I’ll make this right.
Elizabeth
But
what if you can’t? What if we can’t get ourselves back and we’re
just lost. Sure, it’s great to be young again, but there’s
nothing here for us, no friends or parents to take care of us. What
if we’re just lost here?
I’m
losing faith Griffin. I’m losing faith in you. IN us, in who we
are. (pause) In EVERYTHING. You always say ‘our ship will come in’,
but where is it? We always seem to be left standing on the shore,
searching the horizons for hope. And sometimes… I just think that
ship’s not coming anymore.
(continues)
We’re
about to be kicked out of our apartment. We’ve barely got any money
and I’m almost 70…
Griffin
(trying
to lighten her mood)
70
huh? But you still look great. (he winks)
Elizabeth
I’m
serious, Griffin. Dead serious. I don’t know how much more I can
take. All of the failures. All of the craziness. All of the nights
watching your supper get cold as you throw yourself into another hair
brained scheme. This SNAFU is just the latest escapade. I told you I
was scared. I told you not to use that machine, but you did. I can’t…
(starts to weep) I can’t believe you’ve done this to us.
She
starts to sob heavily and he cradles her head.
Griffin
I
know, honey. I know. I know. I know… It’s my fault, all my fault.
Our lives and where we are is my fault. I know what I’ve sacrificed
chasing my dreams and I know that I usually end up tripping over my
own feet. Lord, I know it every morning I wake and look into the
mirror, but I’ve always felt that I need to act on these dreams
because if I sat back and did nothing… than I would BE nothing.
(pleading) Can’t you see this? These ideas, these grand ideas, I
sometimes think they can move mountains. I just… (pause) haven’t
found the right mountain to move yet, I guess. I want to fly and
dream and live and move mountains…for us, Liza…US. Not for me
alone or for the fame and recognition…but for us. I want to be able
to live a nice life with the woman I love. Is that too much too ask?
That’s all I ever wanted. It’s all that I know how to do…it’s…
all that I am.
(Pause)
Please…
keep the faith; you’re my life and my angel.
I
know I’ve failed many times. But I will not fail you.
He
props up her head and looks deeply into her eyes.
(continues)
I
will make this right. I swear to you I will make this right. I love
you. I love you too much to ever leave you stranded…on any shore.
Uh
oh.
Griffin
raises his eyes to see a police car pulling up to the curb. It is
officer McDonald.
He
jumps out of the car and is headed directly for them.
Officer
Mcdonald
You
two! I want to talk to you two!! I see we’ve, at least, finally,
gotten ourselves dressed today.
Elizabeth
Yes
officer. (trying to smile and look innocent) What seems to be the
problem, Sir?
Elizabeth
and Griffin take a step back as the officer approachs them. He
continues toward them.
Officer
McDonald
Don’t
try to butter me up, you little hooligans. First, you’re playing
hooky from school. Now Victor Santiago has reported you as breaking
into and vandalizing some of his property.
Elizabeth
glances down and sees that Griffin is pointing, signaling to her to
run. She gives him a look of ‘why’.
Officer
Mcdonald
We’re
going down to the station. We’ll call your parents and get to the
bottom of this behavior.
He
reaches out to grab the two and his walkie talkie starts to crackle.
Walkie
Talkie
<hiss>
Officer Mcdonald. Report situation…
McDonald
looks to reach for his radio and the two immediately take off;
running as fast as they can.
McDonald
picks up his radio.
Officer
McDonald
This
is McDonald, (running back to his car) currently in pursuit. I’m
going to have to chase them down.
He
jumps in his car and speeds away from the curb.
Cut
to:
Griffin
and Elizabeth are running down the street and turn into an alley.
Their
feet pound the pavement; they are running at full speed. They have
the transducer and the power it holds to make everything right again.
Elizabeth
(panting)
Why…are…we
running?
Griffin
Do
you want to spend the night in jail?…Obviously they’ll never find
our parents…God knows (pant) where we would end up then. Probably
an orphanage or some nonsense!
The
two turn another corner trying to disappear into another small alley.
Hitting
full stride, they jump up to reach a fire escape ladder and quickly
climb up to the first level of the fire escape.
They
immediately duck down and then lay flat, staying completely
motionless.
At
that moment, Officer McDonald comes around the corner into the alley
in his patrol car.
He
is cruising the alleyway very slowly, searching the dimly lit nooks
and crannies of the passage for any sign of them.
The
two lay very flat and hold their breath as he passes by underneath
them.
They
watch, anxiously, as the police car approaches the end of the alley,
pulls out and turns right onto the next block.
Cut
to:
Int.-The
Van
Clyde,
Smits, and Petey are riding in the van also searching for any sign of
the kids.
They
see the police car pull out of the alley.
Clyde
Holy
Crap! Slow down! Cops! Look at ‘em, (pointing) right there. Whoa
Petey easy now, go real slow. Don’t want to bring any undo
attention to us.
Smits
Wonder
what they’re looking for down there…
Clyde
Don’t
know. But let’s just keep our distance. Pull down this next alley.
We’ll lay low for a while. Keep your eyes peeled for those brats.
The
van pulls down the alley.

Fire Escape- Daytime
Griffin
and Elizabeth are climbing down from the ladder. Elizabeth is already
on the ground, when Griffin jumps off the ladder.
Griffin
Wow,
that was close.
Elizabeth
Griffin,
enough. Let’s get home or back to the lab or where ever we’re
going and put the part in and turn ourselves back into normal people.
C’mon. NOW. Let’s go.
Griffin
I’m
with you, babe. It’s been a long day and we’ve got a lot to
figure out.
Griffin
and Elizabeth don’t see the work van menacingly idling around the
corner behind them.
Cut
to:
Int.
Work Van
The
three are looking out the windshield and see Griffin and Elizabeth;
distant figures in the alley walking away from them.
Clyde
Well,
look at this. The little pukes…in the flesh.
(continues)
Petey,
punch it! Run ‘em down!
Petey
revs the engine and launches the van down the alley.
Elizabeth
and Griffin look up.
Elizabeth
Oh
My God! It’s the van!!! Run Griffin!! RUN!!!!!
Griffin
and Elizabeth start to run as fast as they can.
The
alley is barely wide enough to accommodate the speeding van. Its’
mirrors scrape the walls and wooden door frames as it continues to
pick up speed.
Elizabeth
Ohhh
nooo. Griffin, I can’t run any faster. Please. This can’t be it…
The
van’s bumper closes to within inches of Griffin and Elizabeth when
they jump up onto a loading dock just as the speeding van whizzes
past.
Petey
jams on the van’s breaks and it screeches to a stop by hitting a
bunch of garbage cans and becomes mired in the refuse.
The
van begins to spin its tires in the garbage and debris and, after
some lurching and chirping, backs out of the rubbish pile.

Clyde
is staring at Petey like he’s going to kill him.
Petey
What?
Clyde
What?
Is that all you can say… what?
Smits
Uh
no Boss no. I’ve heard ‘em say a lot more than that…A LOT…
Clyde
grabs Smit’s face around the cheeks pinching his lips together.
Clyde
(growling)
Please….just…shut…up.
They
jump out of the van and look to the loading dock. It is empty.
Clyde
GREAT!
JUST FLIPPING GREAT!!! Bozo the clown and Mr. Rocket scientist have
down it again!
Petey
Hey,
we weren’t the ones
Who…
Clyde
SHH.
SHHH. Ok, here’s what we’re going to do. You wait here and try
not to screw anything up. Can you guys do that? Can you just wait
here?
They
both nod.
Clyde
I
will go in there and flush them out. When they come out, you two grab
them. Do you think you can do that? Do you think you can grab two 9
year olds?
Smits
Ah
yeah, sure boss, we’ll get them.
Petey
(saluting)You
can count on us.
Clyde
rolls his eyes and begins to walk towards the old warehouse.
Cut
to:
Int.
Warehouse-Late Afternoon
Griffin
and Elizabeth have found a small space to hide; under an old
platform. Griffin is wriggling in over a slotted grate. He hears the
distinct clink of metal.
Griffin
Oh
boy. Oh no (feeling his pockets)
Elizabeth
What?
Griffin
I
dropped it. I dropped the transducer.
Elizabeth
I
told you not to wear those old man clothes. Where is it?
Griffin
Down
there.
He
points down and they look down. The transducer is at the bottom of a
small shaft with a heavy iron grate over it. The grate is much too
heavy to lift.
They
hear Clyde in the distance.
Clyde
Aha!
I heard that. You think you can hide. Come out, come out and play.
(pause) C’mon! We’ll have fun!!
Desperately
trying to stay in the shadows, Griffin and Elizabeth huddle even more
closely together.
Elizabeth
(whispering)
What
are we going to do? We can’t get down there?
Griffin
looks out a small slated ventilation opening. He can see the alleyway
and the work van, with its’ back doors open, not more twenty feet
away.
Griffin
I
think we can. Give me your hand and be quiet.
The
two start pulling the mesh off of the opening and forcing open the
slats.
Cut

Closeup
Clyde is creeping around the warehouse intent on
finding them.
He
jumps up to an old canvas covering and whips it aside.
Clyde
Aha!
Gotcha!
It
is apparent he has no clue where they are hiding.

Smits
and Petey are in the foreground while the truck, with it’s open
doors, is behind them.
Smits
Nu-uh.
Superman would burn him up; he’s got heat ray vision. Heat ray
vision can beat anything.
Griffin
and Elizabeth sneak across the alley and enter the van behind them.
Cut

Int.
The van
Griffin
and Elizabeth are rifling through canvas bags and boxes inside the
van. Smits and Petey can be heard arguing nonsensically in the
background.
Griffin
fumbles through several bags until he finds the one that contains the
dynamite.
Elizabeth
The
dynamite!?!? (whispering) Are you out of your cotton-picking mind!?
Griffin
Don’t
worry, sweet. I used this junk all the time when I was back in the
army.
Elizabeth
You
never told me that!
Griffin
I
guess you learn something new every day huh? Look for a smaller
stick. Not one of the full sticks. Something just big enough to blast
off the grate.
Cut

Ext.

With
the van behind them, Petey and Smits are still just basically staring
into space.
Smits
Well,

Elizabeth
(Pointing
to one of the bags)
There?
Griffin
Yeah,
hand it here.
Elizabeth
I
ain’t touching it.
Griffin
Oh,
for pete’s sake, you’re such a nervous nellie.
Griffin
grabs the small stick of dynamite.
Griffin
Let’s
go.
They
start to leave the van.
Griffin
Wait.
We need something to light it with.
He
looks around the van and sees a striker; the type that is used to
light acetylene torches.
Griffin
This
will do.
He
starts to strike it. It doesn’t work.
Griffin
Dagnabit.
I think it’s too old…
Elizabeth
Look
who’s talking.
Griffin
Very
funny. I don’t think it works…
He
strikes it again and gets a spark. It falls from the striker and
lands directly on one of the dynamite wicks.
Griffin
Oh
yeah it works, GO! NOW!!!
They
quickly exit the van and run back across the alleyway.
When
they reach the building they jump through the slatted opening into
the safety of their hiding spot.
At
that moment Clyde comes out of the building.
Clyde
Hey
bird brains, ya seen ‘em?
Petey
Nope.
Everything is under control boss. We ain’t seen nuttin’.
Smits
Yeah.
Told you, you can count on us.
At
that moment, the truck explodes in a brilliant fireball knocking them
all to the ground.
Clyde
jumps to his feet.
Clyde
(screaming)
You
blew up the truck!!! YOU BLEW UP THE FREAKING TRUCK!!!! I CAN’T
BELIEVE YOU BLEW UP THE TRUCK!!!!!
Smits
doesn’t even hear Clyde yelling at him. He is staring wide eyed at
the smoldering truck, ecstatic that it has exploded.
Smits
COOOLLLL.
Clyde
(mockingly)’Everything
is under control Boss. Everything is cool!’ EVERYTHING IS NOT
COOL!!!! YOU BLEW UP THE FREAKING TRUCK!!! TURCK…BOOM…NOT COOL!!!
We’ve got to get this thing out of here!! Now!

McDonald is still patrolling the streets looking for the Bank Robbers
and the rogue children.
His
radio interrupts the relative silence.

Quickly
he backs away and crouches around a corner with Elizabeth.
A
few moments later, there is a small explosion followed by a loud,
noisy clang as the grate hits the bottom of the empty shaft.
Griffin
looks at Elizabeth.
Griffin
I
think it worked.
They
run down the short hall to see that the grate has fallen into the
hole.
Griffin
I’ll
get it.
Griffin
climbs down into the grate.
He
looks around the bottom and has to squint in the dim light. Finally
he finds the transducer.
Griffin
I’ve

I’m
coming up!

The alleyway
Griffin
and Elizabeth are emerging into the afternoon sunlight from the small
ventilation opening.
Griffin
Ok.
It looks like they’re gone.
Elizabeth
climbs out of the small opening and stands up. She is looking at a
big smoking, charred mark on the pavement where the van used to be.
Elizabeth
(mockingly)’I
used dynamite in the army.’ I’ll bet you did.
Griffin
Ha.
Very funny. Let’s go.
The
two begin to walk down the alleyway, when suddenly, Elizabeth
collapses. She falls to her knees, Griffin spins around.
Griffin
Liza!!!
What is it?
Elizabeth
(weakly)
I…I don’t know Griffin. Being young seems to be…wooo…a little
too much for me. I’m all of the sudden weak, so weak. I need to
just…lie down,
Elizabeth
half falls to the pavement.
Griffin
Elizabeth,
no! We must keep going. We must get back…they’re still coming!!!
Elizabeth
is not listening and growing weaker.
Elizabeth
Griffin?
What’s…happening…to me?
Griffin
Oh,
no, no ,no. I think it’s the reciprocation process. It’s
beginning to break down the structure of your cells. Get up! We need
to move! Now!
Elizabeth
I…can’t…I
think… I’m dying. I can feel my spirit growing weary.
Griffin
No!
Elizabeth! No! Not today, today is not the day. (seriously) You’re
too young to die. Ahhh that cursed machine. I now know it’s all my
fault. I will get you home. I will fix this. I will!!!
Elizabeth
Griffin,
you old fool. It’s not your fault. Those things I said back there
were said by a scared woman who really is still just a little girl.
I’ve loved every magical moment of my life with you. You’re one
of a kind. An original. I only wish I could live every single day
with you over again. I love you.
At
once Griffin hears the distant warble of police sirens. His head
snaps up alertly. He knows he has to get Elizabeth back to the lab
immediately. Any delay or entanglement with the police and time will
simply run out.
Elizabeth
can see the look of alarm on his face.
Elizabeth
(weakly)
Wha…is
it?
Griffin
Stay
here, stay right here. I WILL be back.
Griffin
runs as fast as his feet will carry him.
He
tears around the corner, scales one fence easily. He then jumps off
on the other side.
He
runs down a small passageway and scales another fence.

The
music is playing loudly and the yard is a mess. There are different
parts of go-carts and dirt bikes strewn about. The older
boy is working on a go-cart and has the engine

younGER brother is sitting on a tree stump
watching him and eating a sandwich.

As

runs up behind him and jumps into the go-cart.
The

in it.
The
older boy starts to turn back and stops because the younger boy is
just staring with a look of shock on his face.
Older

He
is too far away to discern her weakened condition.
Officer
Mcdonald
(to
himself)I see we meet again. How did I know you’d be on the end of
this call.
Officer
McDonald’s cruiser slowly creeps down the alleyway so as to not
surprise Elizabeth.
At
that moment, he hears the whir of what he thinks is a chainsaw.
At
once, Griffin is speeding around the corner on the small Go-Cart
Officer
McDonald

He
sees Griffin speed up to the loading platform, put Elizabeth into the
two-seater, and fly off.
He
picks up his radio.
Officer
Mcdonald
This

go-cart.
He
flips on his lights and siren and begins chasing the two.
Griffin
and Elizabeth are speeding along the sidewalks of downtown. Many of
the startled residents have to jump off the sidewalks and out of the
way in order to avoid being run down.
The
other police cruisers round the corner onto Main Street and join in
the chase.

The
crooks are just pulling into their hideout. The entire top half of

driving; the van now reaches a top speed of about 3 miles an hour.
The wheels are warped from the heat of the explosion and one has
completely melted off.
Smits
is about 10 feet behind the van on a child’s bicycle ringing the
bell. He is far too heavy for it and has warped the wheels on that
too.
Smits
Hey

turns and glares.

his fist in the air)
Slow
down! Damn kids today!
Griffin
and Elizabeth take a short cut through someone’s yard. They run
over the grass, smash through a small picket fence, and get caught in
a laundry line.
Griffin
guides the go-cart back onto the streets and is trying to get
untangled from the clothes line.
The
police skid around the corner. Though the shortcut has created some
separation from their pursuants, they have not lost them.
The
police begin to gain on them again.
They
enter the warehouse district.
Griffin
can now see Officer McDonald’s bumper coming to within inches of
the back of the go-cart.
Officer
McDonald begins to issue commands over his loud speaker.
Officer
McDonald
Alright
Kids, the party is over. Pull that thing over.
Officer
McDonald backs the Cruiser off again. He is now about eight feet
behind them.
They
are still traveling at the go-cart’s top speed.
Officer
McDonald again ‘charges’ the go-cart with his car. This time, his
bumper comes within a few inches of it.
At
that moment, Griffin cuts the wheel as hard as he can and launches
the go-cart down a small side alley.
Office
McDonald and the rest of the police force cannot turn as quickly and
overshoot the small roadway. The three of them skid to halt further
down the road.
Griffin
is holding on for dear life and rapidly approaching the end of the
alleyway.
They
are approaching an old garage door at an alarming speed.
He
pumps on the brakes and nothing happens.
Griffin
Oh
MY GOD! I think that kid was trying to fix the brakes!!!
He
pumps them again…nothing.
Griffin
Hold
on Elizabeth!!!! Hold on!!!!

Bank Robbers Shop area-Daytime
What
is left of the van is sitting in the parking area. It is a smoking
heap. Clyde, Smits and Petey are busy discussing how to catch the
‘kids’ when Griffin and Elizabeth smash through an old wooden
side door on their go-cart. The cart takes out a workbench and the
stacks of pigeon cages nearby. The cages fall and the birds become
frantic, flying everywhere.
The
go cart is covered in debris and dirt and Griffin is pulling stuff
off of him and spitting things out of his mouth.
Elizabeth
is so weak she is barely conscious in the passenger seat.
Clyde
and Smits stop counting their money and are staring at the scene that
has developed before them with disbelief
Clyde
What
tha…?
Petey
is completely distraught over the fact that his pigeons are loose and
is jumping and clutching at the air trying to grab them.
Petey
(yelling
to the Sky) oh Barry! Elliot! Come back! Haven’t I been good to
you?! Come back!
The
other two thugs realize the fact that they are the kids and move in
closer like vultures.
Clyde
Well,
Well, Well. What do we have here?
Smits
Woot!
it must be our lucky day boss.
Clyde
That,
my friend, is an understatement…
(staring
intensely at the two)
It’s
almost like Christmas…Someone has sent us a present.
Griffin
(With
fear in his eyes) Please buddy! (dropping any pretense of being a
child)…Look at her! She’s sick…sh
Clyde
grabs Griffin and rips him from the seat; he’s holding him off the
ground.
Clyde
Where
you been you little punk? Do you know how much trouble you’ve
caused us? Do you realize what kind of energy we’ve wasted trying
to chase you down…not to mention the risk of being seen by the
cops!!
(Continues)
Well
boys it looks like it’s our lucky day
Officer
McDonald
I
wouldn’t say that.
Clyde
and the others didn’t see the police, who had been following
Griffin; get into their positions around the warehouse.
