*(Cuts to a grassy field with a cave in a rocky hill in the background. The grass begins to swerve from side to side before a black helicopter lands on the field. Arthur and Eugene are seen exiting the helicopter with several close-up shots of them walking towards the front of the cave.)*

**Arthur:** This is it. The Gold Crystal should be right inside that cave.

**Eugene:** Okay, here we go…

*(Arthur lights up a wooden torch and the two enter the cave. After walking for a few moments, Arthur accidentally steps on a pressure plate and water is seen gushing towards them. The background music begins to build up tension.)*

**Eugene:** Oh no, this is not good!

**Arthur:** Quick, hold my hand!

*(Eugene reaches for Arthur’s hand and both of them begin to slide down a stone slide.)*

**Arthur and Eugene:** *(in unison)* WHOA——!

*(Cuts to Arthur and Eugene running away from Sam Livingston with The Gold Crystal in their hands.)*

**Arthur:** *(off-screen)* …we will always be together…

(Sam suddenly stops at a distance and pulls the trigger of his pistol, before a brief gunshot is heard. The screen cuts to a black background before cutting to a medium shot of Arthur.)

## Theatrical trailer #1

*(MPA green screen)*

*(Cuts to a pinboard where an ancient drawing of Midas about to touch a crystal is slammed on it all of a sudden.)*

**Arthur:** (off-screen) This…is The Gold Crystal.

*(The drawing gradually begins to turn into an animation. Midas is seen touching the crystal and has a smug look on his face.)*

**Arthur:** (off-screen) Legends say that it was originally a diamond in Midas’ palace when one day, it was given the golden touch. However…

*(Midas begins to regret his power and goes to the Pactolus river where his hands and most of the golden objects are reversed of the touch.)*

**Arthur:** (off-screen) …when the power became more of a curse, he regretted everything and tried to leave no trace of his golden touch.

*(The Gold Crystal is seen being enclosed in a glass box which later transforms into a stone pedestal in a cave. Arthur rolls up the paper and looks up at the screen.)*

**Arthur:** But he left his golden crystal untouched and it is still on this planet, untouched.

**Eugene:** Uhh, could you repeat that? That was such a handful to remember.

*(Arthur is seen leading Eugene to a helipad with a helicopter parked on it.)*

**Arthur:** *(off-screen)* Join me…

*(The throttle of the helicopter is seen going up to the max and the rotor blades begin to spin.)*

**Arthur:** *(off-screen)* …and brace yourself for an adventure you’ve never seen!

*(Eugene follows Arthur into a secret room and a black figure turns behind towards them, revealing herself as Arthur’s associate Sophie Chavez.)*

**Sophie:** I’m Sophie Chavez. Nice to meet you… Eugene?

**Eugene:** (embarrassed) Yea… just on a mission.

**Sophie:** Ah, understandable.

Text: FROM THE STUDIO THAT BROUGHT YOU MIAO: THE MOVIE

*(We see a black SUV driving on a city street and swerving past posts. Arthur is seen stepping harder on the gas as Eugene holds onto the front of the car.)*

Text: COMES A FEATURE THAT TAKES YOU OUT OF THIS WORLD

*(Eugene looks out from the windows of the black helicopter and sees the lush greenery and hilly terrain outside.)*

Text: WHERE THE HEAT IS ON BEFORE OPPORTUNITY SHRINKS

(Arthur is seen driving the car from before towards a dead end while Eugene is panicking.)

**Arthur:** Eugene! You might want to jump out anytime soon!

**Eugene:** What?!

**Arthur:** You heard me!

**Eugene:** What if we don’t have time?!

(Arthur’s car accelerates off the cliff as Sam Livingston’s henchmen watch them fall.)

**Arthur:** NOW!

(Arthur and Eugene exit the falling car in slow-motion and they dive into the lake below. Both of them manage to reach the surface and they gasp of air.)

**Eugene:** That… was the coolest thing ever! Let’s do it again!

**Arthur:** I know right?!

*(A collection of Arthur’s items is seen on display in a room.)*
