SCENE: STREET SCENE. MAN RUNNING DOWN A TYPICAL URBAN STREET PURSUED BY TWO THUGS
F/X
TREET SOUNDS AND CHASE MUSIC
THUG #1: (SLIGHTLY OUT OF BREATH) No point in running Tony.
THUG#2:Make it easy on yourself.
THE THUGS HAVE ALMOST CAUGHT HIM NOW. THE MAN RUNNING SUDDENLY TURNS DOWN A SIDE ALLEY; CAUGHT BY SURPRISE THE TWO THUGS RUN PAST AND HAVE TO BACK TRACK. THE MAN TAKES ADVANTAGE AND RACES TOWARDS THE OTHER END OF THE ALLEY, GLANCING OVER HIS SHOULDER AND THEN LOOKING AHEAD. CAMERA SHOWS THE END OF THE NARROW ALLEY WHERE SAFETY LIES. SUDDENLY A CAR SCREECHES ACROSS THE ENTRANCE AND HIS ESCAPE IS BLOCKED.
F/X:MUSIC BECOMES EVER MORE FRANTIC
TWO MORE THUGS LEAP OUT OF THE CAR AS THE MAN HITS THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND RUNS BACK THE WAY HE CAME, ONLY TO SEE THE ORIGINAL THUGS APPROACHING AT A RUN.
F/X:MUSIC BECOMES EVEN MORE FRANTIC
THE MAN, NOW PLAINLY TERRIFIED SPOTS AN EVEN SMALLER ALLEY TO HIS LEFT AND DARTS DOWN IT PURSUED BY BOTH SETS OF BADDIES. HE TURNS A CORNER ONLY TO SEE A DEAD END WITH A BRICK WALL BLOCKING HIS PATH. HE DESPERATELY JUMPS AT IT, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE THUGS ROUND THE CORNER AND SLOW TO A MENACING WALK PRODUCING VARIOUS WEAPONS (KNIVES, BLACKJACKS, THAT SORT OF THING) AS THE MAN FINALLY TURNS TO FACE THEM IN DESPERATION.
THUG #1: (SLAPPING THE BLACKJACK INTO HIS PALM) Nowhere to run to now Tony.
THUG#2:After the dance you've led us, this is going to be a pleasure.
ALL FOUR ADVANCE WITH GRIM PURPOSE. THE MAN LOOKS AROUND WILDLY FOR SALVATION AND SEES A BIN IN THE CORNER. AS THE MEN LUNGE FOR HIM HE LEAPS ONTO THE BIN
MAN
en!
THE THUGS LOOK ANGRY AND CONFUSED. THUG # 1 THROWS DOWN HIS WEAPON.
THUG #1amn!
THEY WANDER OFF LOOKING ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED WHILE THE MAN LOOKS TRIUMPHANT ON TOP OF THE BIN
Nice.
