Viral Attack scripts
Be sure to read the full Viral Attack comic book beforehand, to get a feel for the full story. We have gathered the dialogue for each different character below. Each different part is bolded.
Young girl (playing the role of a cell in the body):
Hey, you’re just one itsy bitsy virus. This isn’t so bad.
Ughh, I don’t feel too good.
I’m going to need some help.
Uh-oh, too late!
What a mess! Look at all these loose viruses.
We need to get these cleaned up quickly or all the epithelial cells will be in terrible danger!!
You’re just in time!
Macrophage (cell):
Hello!
I’m Macrophage. We’re members of the body’s immune system clean-up crew.
It’s more than we can clean up alone.
We need to do something quickly or these leftover viruses will attack other epithelial cells.
Time to call for backup.
T-cells, we need your help!
Neutrophil (cell):
Hello!
We heard your alarm. I’m Neutrophil.
Let’s get this mess cleaned up!
Take that, viruses!
They’re multiplying too fast!
Young boy (playing the role of a cell in the body):
Ahhh!!!
Hey Killer and Helper T-cells. I don’t feel too good.
It’s working!
Yuck!
Killer T (cell):
Where are the infected cells?
OK!
Viruses, meet my cytotoxin gun!
Thanks, Helper T. But there are still some viruses around.
Helper T (cell):
Looks like we’re too late for this one. He has too many viruses inside already.
Killer T, you’ll have to destroy the cell. It’s the only way to stop more viruses from being released.
Good job, Killer T!
No problem, I’ll just call for back up.
B-cell, we need your help!
Hi, B-cell.
B-cell (cell):
Hey, Helper T!
What a mess! Let’s get these viruses all cleaned up.
I don’t see any left...looks like that’s the last of them.
The body should be feeling much better now.
And now to alert the other B-cells to this virus.
All the B-cells that see this will become memory B-cells. They’ll be able to quickly recognize this virus if it ever comes back.
Boy (body):
I’m feeling much better today. My immune system really came to the rescue!
