I didn't volunteer. |
SCARFACE |
You causing trouble again? |
COLE |
(controls his temper) |
No trouble. |
INT. EQUIPMENT ROOM - ETERNAL NIGHT |
COLE's alone, struggling to get into what looks like a space suit |
in a room where suits hang like ghosts with blank eyes. |
TITLES BEGIN SUPERED OVER THE SCENE |
COLE has the torso of the suit on now and is trying to close it. |
OFFSCREEN VOICE (o.s.) |
All openings must be closed. |
COLE looks for the source of the voice, a tiny grate in the wall. |
OFFSCREEN VOICE (o.s.) |
If the integrity of the suit is compromised |
in any way, if the fabric is torn or a zipper |
not closed, readmittance will be denied. |
INT. SEALED CHAMBER - MINUTES LATER (ETERNAL NIGHT) |
COLE, wearing the "space suit" and a helmet with a plastic visor, |
steps into a tiny chamber, a kind of air lock. The heavy door |
clangs shut behind him. He's alone. COLE'S breath comes quicker |
now as he sucks oxygen from the air tanks on his back. |
On the opposite wall is another door with a huge wheel lock. |
COLE turns the heavy wheel, opens the door, steps through It |
INT. ELEVATOR - SECONDS LATER (ETERNAL NIGHT) |
COLE'S in an ascending elevator that groans and creaks. He looks |
down at a crudely drawn map he holds in his gloved hand. |
The map shows a series of tunnels and ladders. |
INT. SEWER PIPE - MINUTES LATER (NIGHT) |
COLE pans a flashlight, probing the filthy sewer he's wading |
through |
RATS flee the blade of light, scurry across islands of rusting |
junk. |
The flashlight beam settles on a ladder mounted in the wall. |
Reaching the rusted ladder, COLE starts to climb awkwardly. |
EXT. CITY STREET/FUTURE - MOMENTS LATER (NIGHT) |
A SCRAPING NOISE as a heavy man-hole cover is pushed up and moved |
aside. COLE'S helmeted head emerges from below. |
COLE'S POV THROUGH HIS PLASTIC-VISORED HELMET: a city in |
moonlight! A surreal image of abandoned buildings. No people |
anywhere. The only sounds are the WIND and COLE'S BREATHING. |
EXT. ANOTHER CITY STREET - MINUTES LATER (NIGHT) |
COLE'S light reveals abandoned vine-covered automobiles. |
Moving to the nearest car, COLE searches in the vines for |
something. Finds it. An insect. |
COLE takes the bug in his gloved hand. As he clumsily inserts it |
into a collection tube, something makes him turn. |
There's something across the street in the dark. Something alive. |
COLE points his flashlight and reveals...a BEAR! Startled by the |
light, the animal blinks, then stands on its rear legs and ROARS. |
ANGLE ON COLE, staring wide-eyed. |
Then, the BEAR sinks down onto all fours and, trying to avoid the |
flashlight, it pads quickly down the street. |
INT. SUBTERRANEAN PARKING GARAGE - NIGHT |
Using the flashlight to see, COLE reaches down to the cracked |
floor and gets another specimen. DOGSHIT! |
The only sound is COLE'S labored BREATHING. |
Then, a different SOUND. GRRRR! A dog. More GRRRRS. More |
dogs. Then, a YIP. Then, VICIOUS GROWLS. It's a DOGFIGHT! |
EXT. STREET - NIGHT (FIRST LIGHT) |
A giant OWL, perched on an overhead traffic light, raises its |
wings |
