巨石怪 The Monolith Monsters Movie Script

杰瑞发布于13 Nov 17:46

一颗奇怪的黑色流星在圣安吉洛镇附近坠毁，碎片散落在乡村。当风暴将这些碎片暴露在水中时，它们会成长为摩天大楼大小的巨石，然后倾覆并粉碎成数千块碎片，这些碎片本身会成长为巨石，并重复这一过程。路上的任何人都会被碾碎或变成人像。圣安吉洛的市民拼命地试图拯救自己和世界，使其免于不断蔓延的厄运。 A strange black meteor crashes near the town of San Angelo and litters the countryside with fragments. When a storm exposes these fragments to water, they grow into skyscraper-sized monoliths which then topple and shatter into thousands of pieces that grow into monoliths themselves and repeat the process. Any humans in the way are crushed or turned into human statues. The citizens of San Angelo desperately try to save themselves and the world from the spreading doom.

Yeah, that's what I said.
Then it couldn't possibly have any effect, could it?
You're absolutely right.
It's ridiculous.
But that's what they said about the wheel when someone first thought of it.
Dave, it works.
More water.
We got to be sure.
If we had that extra day the Weather Bureau promised us, I'm sure we could figure a way to stop the monoliths for good.
We're not that lucky.
But I think we can cut them off here before they reach town.
That'd be like trying to stop a forest fire with a traffic signal.
All right, Chief. How do you fight a forest fire?
With a firebreak, right?
Yeah.
Well, how about a salt break? Look here.
The natural slope of the valley floor is bringing them right down here.
Now, if we could lay a swath of salt right here, making it as wide as the monoliths are tall, then, when they fell and shattered, they'd just pile up, keeping them inside the canyon.
This'd give us the time we need.
Theoretically, you're right, David, but to cover an area that great in the time that we have, why, I doubt if could move that salt over there fast enough.
I've thought about that, Professor, but we've got to try.
Will you gain enough time to make it worthwhile?
If we had to have a misplaced ocean, why couldn't it have dried up and left its salt here where we need it, in the first place? Even if it were there, it couldn't keep the monoliths from breaking out of the valley eventually.
Why?
The dry salt in either case will only act as a temporary barrier.
