Forever Yum

INT. MILITARY STORAGE WAREHOUSE - DAY

After 71 years of silence, CAPT. DANIEL MCCORMICK's cryo-stasis chamber suddenly cranks open. Capt. McCormick emerges from the resulting cloud of freezing fog, intensely hungry.

INT. CARL's JR. ACROSS THE STREET - DAY

The CASHIER gives Daniel's uniform a quick once over before asking what he'd like.

CASHIER

So what'll it be?

DANIEL

I guess a burger and fries.

CASHIER

What kinda burger? We got lots a burgers.

The cashier gestures to the menu over her head. Daniel shifts his gaze.

DANIEL

A six dollar burger?! Are you kidding me?

CASHIER

They're actually pretty good.

DANIEL

For six dollars they better be. Alright, I guess I'll have one of those.

CASHIER

That'll be 8.40.

DANIEL

What?!

Ha! Very nice. I'd imagine Mel Gibson in the role, something very "Forever Young."
