FADE IN:
A STARRY BLACKNESS
From out of the billions, the smallest of specks drives
slowly forward. It closes; getting larger; its features
becoming more identifiable: a vessel. Flip-flopping; out
of control. Its stern roaring with flame. It passes; its
blue fire surging into the screen.
"THE THING"
A thundering...
FADE TO:
A BLIND AND F
ground. The earth-shuddering
impact causes the tusk to rebound once in slow motion before
finally settling to the desert floor in a cloud of dust.
The first tusk is quickly followed by a second, also dropping
from the heavens. It lands near the first. Another tusk
smashes to earth several yards away. Yet another comes crashing
into the foreground.
Finally the dust settles upon a graveyard of tusk

He looks like me.
Precisely like you.
I have impersonated you for
a long time but he is a miracle.
Where did you find him?
At the execution grounds.
He was going to be crucified.
I thought he would be useful
as a double for you.
What did he do?
They found him sneaking around
the grounds. Hes a thief.
A thief?
And a tough one.
Torture failed to make him talk.
Possibly, aside from
force of B- s
and an all-volunteer crew of airmen.
Most of the planes carried -pound demolition bombs
and single incendiary clusters,
which were dropped on oil stores, factories and military sites in Tokyo.
A few planes made minor strikes on Kobe, Yokohama and Nagoya,
with one bomb hitting the Japanese carrier Ryuko.

FATHER
What are you doing?
The Boy is startled. He stands up quickly. In the DIRT we see
he has drawn a CHESSBOARD.
BOY
Nothing.
The Father SLAPS him across the face.

Dont lie to me! What did the doctors

The Father drags his foot across
He roughly picks the dog up by the scruff of the neck, but as he turns it around we see that it is a
stuffed dog. Around its neck is a business card that reads, "You have been had by Ace Ventura -
Pet Detective." He breathes fire.
GRUFF MAN
Son of a bitch!
He smashes the dog to the ground.

As the UPS Man/Ace rounds the corner, his shirt opens up at his pot belly and the Shiatsu
forced a few inches open.
She presses back on the door, closing it.
WHAM! Its slammed open again.
Melinda tries pressing it closed, but the Killers gloved
hand reaches in and grabs her. Yanks on her hair. Melinda
screams and slams the door closed on the Killers hand.

EARLY DRAFT
Out of BLACK we hear the sound of an airplane roaring by.
EXT. POV OF AN AIRPLANE
Flying over American heartland. We see the earth through the
pilots perspective as sky and ground swap positions, the
plane swooping down and storming over the ground.
THE PLANE
is a biplane, racing over a field lush with young plants. It
releases a trail of crop spray, an
ground and draws a distinctive TOMAHAWK from his belt as
the other figures drop from the other wagons.
The figures crawl through the shadows toward the sentries
who are closing the main gates. THEY SPRING... the lead
figure dashes forward, raises his TOMAHAWK and HACKS DOWN
at a TERRIFIED FRENCH SENTRY...
The other muddy figures join the attack... stifling the
screams of the French soldiers with
ground beneath the waterbed.
As he pulls himself up, (his full weight on the first ice-pick,) he
smashes a second pick through the ice, into the waterbed, and -
THE ENTIRE ICE FALL GIVES WAY -
Breaking off with a groan, tumbling onto the rocks below.
IN THE WATERBED -
A torrent of water crashes over 007. Fighting the oncoming deluge,
he crawls - on his belly - through the water - 25 feet inland.
