Note: Because Tom Cruise is a giant, diaper-wearing baby, The Editing Room has decided to take some precautions. All cracks at the expense of Tom or his personal life have been replaced with lines promoting Scientology. We apologize for any confusion this may cause. FADE IN: INT.
SECRET HIDEOUT TOM CRUISE is tied up. PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN points a gun at his wife, MICHELLE MONAGHAN. PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN I will kill your wife if you don't tell me where the MacGuffin is! TOM CRUISE List, what I'm trying to explain is that Scientology is completely legitimate. PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN You're in the middle of a mostly pointless opening scene, that's where. The only reason it's here is to try to establish my bastardness early since I'm the least threatening person ever. TOM CRUISE There are many normal people that are Scientologists, not just celebrities, okay?
PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN What's that? You'll only tell me where the MacGuffin is if you don't have to listen to the Limp Bizkit's Mission Impossible theme during the credits?
TOM CRUISE Scientology allows us to understand what causes illness, and gives us effective tools for dealing with those illnesses. Nobody dies from Scientology, aside from the few that do. SOME HOUSE TOM CRUISE is in scene after scene showing his puppy-dog love for MICHELLE MONAGHAN. MICHELLE MONAGHAN It's so endearing how in love with me you are, Tom. And by endearing, what I mean is creepy. TOM CRUISE L. Ron Hubbard was a brilliant man, and his writings provide us great insight into humanity.
There's nothing fishy about a science fiction writer founding a religion based on aliens. Suddenly, TOM gets a PHONE CALL. BILLY CRUDUP Tom. Agent Keri Russell has been kidnapped.
Normally we'd disavow all knowledge, but then there wouldn't be much of a movie. We need you to rescue her. Please don't suspect me of being the bad guy even though I'm kind of shady. TOM joins back up with VING RHAMES and two RANDOM AGENTS WITH NO PERSONALITY. MAGGIE Q I'm basically totally interchangeable with the other agent.
JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS In fact, we actually switch roles later on since it doesn't matter. Do we even have names? VING RHAMES Don't take it personally. The only characters with any depth got that way from being in the two other movies. They rescue KERI RUSSELL in a BIG EXPLODEY sequence. KERI RUSSELL Tom!
Thank you for rescuing me. Unfortunately, I have an explosive device in my career. Thank you for including me in this movie before I vanish entirely. (dies) Suddenly, there is ANOTHER big action sequence! It is LOUD, and therefore GOOD.
IMF HEADQUARTERS LAURENCE FISHBURNE is bitching everyone out. LAURENCE FISHBURNE You all fucked up royally! Now Phillip knows how worthless IMF is!
BILLY CRUDUP All he really has to do is watch the other two movies to know that. TOM CRUISE Scientology may have been created by a science fiction writer, but that doesn't mean the ideas aren't grounded in observable facts. Just take a look at my E-meter. It's a meter, and that's science!
VING RHAMES It's almost been 2 minutes since the last action sequence. Let's spend a couple more minutes on Tom's bland romance and then blow some shit up. The gang travels on a mission to infiltrate the VATICAN and kidnap PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN.
VATICAN TOM breaks into the VATICAN. He accomplishes this by relying primarily on the stupidity of the security guards and the fact that nobody ever seems to look up.
They create a MASK, because the franchise just will not let that idea die. VING RHAMES If we can just create masks like this, why do we ever bother with missions?
Can't we just waltz in as someone else, take what we want, and leave? Suddenly, there are some EXPLOSIONS! PHILLIP is kidnapped! Then there's a chase! Then more explosions!
Then a shootout on a bridge! Some more explosions! Phillip escapes, rendering the prior 30 minutes meaningless! VING RHAMES Wait a minute. This whole time, J.J. Abrams has been able to direct this much action? Why the FUCK is Lost so boring?
TOM CRUISE Psychology is an industry built upon keeping people sick so that there is a steady stream of income. Scientology, on the other hand, is built on helping people by taking all of their money up front. PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN (on phone) Find The MacGuffin or I kill your wife. This results in another BIG ACTION SEQUENCE, followed by a huge CAR CHASE. LAURENCE FISHBURNE I'm taking you into custody, Tom.
I'm outfitting you with a mouth covering because apparently you're a cannibal, I guess. Eventually TOM winds up tied up like at the start of the movie.
