Mass Destruction. The
Demolitions Committee of Project
Mayhem wrapped the foundation columns
of ten buildings with blasting
gelatin. In two minutes, primary
charges will blow base charges, and
those buildings will be reduced to
smoldering rubble. I know this
because Tyler knows this.

Look what weve accomplised.

Cut to:
Piccadilly Circus, London. Flower sellers (women in shawls with baskets) seated round the base of the Eros monument. Among them Liza Doolittle, the only young one. The rest are elderly or middle aged. All, including Liza, are too poorly clad and dirty to be attractive. L

Charlie wasnt much of a swimmer...
which will come into play a little later in our story.
But lm getting way ahead of myself.
You know, maybe its best if we just go back and begin at the beginning.
As a young man, Charlie had the world by its bootstraps.
He was the best young trooper on the force...
and was dating the prettiest and smartest gal in town.
Hername was Layla, just like the mel
It is very early in the dawn - blue light filters through the jungle and across a foul swamp. A mist clings to the trees. This could be the jungle of a million years ago.
Our VIEW MOVES CLOSER, through the mist, TILTING DOWN to the tepid water. A small bubble rises to the surface; then another. Suddenly, but quietly, a form begins to emerge; a helmet. Water and mud pour off revealing a set of bea

Who has been putting glass in my

filled my pitcher with glass!

Oh, my goodness! Someone has filled
Bonapartes pitcher with glass.
Now, who on earth would do a thing
like that?

Oh, heavens, look someone has filled
my pitcher with glass too!

FERNANDO (V.O.)
Of all the words my Father wrote and
there were many, I remember these
the most. "Nothing that results
from human progress is achieved with
unanimous consent..."
Rain is falling into the room over documents spread on a
table. COLUMBUS stands up and moves to the table. Some
of the walls have been blackened with smoke and flames. A
lizard scuttles into the shadows.

You have reclassified

EXT. FISH MARKET AND STREETS - DAY
The Macarena blares from a boom box. Snappers, artfully
arranged in schools on ice, stare up blankly. Crabs scratch
at their crates. Lobsters climb over one another in tanks.
One of the black SWAT vans turns down a side street. The
other takes an alley. The Marcells Crab House van continues

Well, cheer up.
I will. I just hate to fight with anybody.
When you win, you lose.
You know, in your heart.
Well, youre free. Maybe the trouble is
youre not used to it yet.
No, the trouble is I always
end up back where I started.
Never had anybody much. And here I am.
Well, you had your mother, didnt you?
How do you have somebody
who disappears all the time?
Mohicans.
Pflash as he runs. One carries a flintlock musket. Sweat on the mans skin. A calico shirt is gathered at the waist with a wampum belt of small white beads over a breechcloth. He wears leggings to protect his legs. A long-handled tomahawk is stuffed in his belt.
