Machines, sent two terminators back through * time. Their
mission: to destroy the leader of the * human Resistance... John

The first terminator was programmed to strike * at me, in
image appears - obscure
at first, then becoming more solid. A vision.
He sees a house - a small, stone, one-story, u-shaped house.
The house has a flat, tile roof and an unusual, wooden rain
gutter, with windows outlined in black and a prayer flag in
the courtyard. A spotted dog is in front of the house,
barking, though we cannot hear him. The vision becomes
completely clear, for an instant - cle
officers, a small military band, fifty local
people.
The Dugan family, Roderick and his mother, Captains Best
and Grogan.
Roderick admires the troops in their splendid uniforms.
RODERICK (V.O.)
About this time, the United Kingdom
was in a state of great excitement

EXT. DAWN
A series of fast-cut static scenes of empty streets.
DAVID (V.O.)
This could have been any city: theyre all the same.
A rapid, swerving track along deserted streets and down narrow lanes and passageways. Accompanied by soundtrack and credits.
The track ends outside a solid, fashionable Edinburgh tenement.
INT. STAIRWELL - DAY
bandstand. He takes a solo on his saxophone.
Fred plays hot, hard, neo-bop. The BAND wails madly behind
him. The PATRONS explode onto the dance floor, making it a
wild scene. Fred Is a lion now, roaring away on his tenor,
driving everyone nuts.
CUT TO:
INT. LUNA LOUNGE - LATER
After the band quits to take a break, FEMALE FANS come onto
Fred, but he moves away, refusing their attentions.
