Fatal Instinct Page #3

NED:

Police emergency! I need your car!

He pulls the kid out, jumps in, slaps a portable FLASHING

RED LIGHT on the dashboard... then speeds off after Milo, a

SIREN WAILING! He zig-zags through the crush of other bumper

cars in the pavilion.

Ned's bumper car catches up with Milo, pulling alongside.

Milo turns the wheel, RAMMING Ned! Ned RAMS him back, both

bumper cars swerving violently... spraying SPARKS!

Ned SLAMS Milo's car again! Milo loses control, spins out

and SMASHES into the pavillion railing!

Ned swerves to avoid a collision, but RAMS into two other

bumper cars, wrenching to a grinding halt. A BEAT. The AIRBAG

inflates in his bumper car.

Arch runs up as Ned pulls himself from the wreckage. They

turn to see Milo leap from his mangled bumper car, leap over

the pavillion railing and dash down the pier and into an

alley between two buildings. A sign on the building says:

DEAD END ALLEY.

Ned and Arch eye each other, shake their heads, and follow

after Milo.

OMIT:

Sequence omitted from original script.

IN THE ALLEY:

Milo runs into a tall chain link fence at the end of the

alley and scrambles up the wire mesh. Suddenly, Ned's hand

shoots out, grabs Milo's ankle, yanking him down hard.

Milo jumps to his feet, swinging at Ned, who catches Milo's

fist with his hand, stopping it cold... neatly snapping a

handcuff on his wrist. He shoves Milo's arm against the fence

and snaps the other cuff to the chainlink.

A SWITCHBLADE flashes out of Milo's other hand with a sharp

CLICK! Milo slashes the blade at Ned, just missing his face.

On the backswing, Ned parries with his own switchblade and

flips Milo's knife away.

Milo pulls a .45 Calibre REVOLVER with his free hand! Ned

shoves his finger into the end of the barrel. Milo looks

surprised... then sneers, clicking the hammer back.

NED:

You take science in high school,

Milo?

MILO:

I skipped high school, cop!

NED:

Then you're probably not familiar

with the theory of inverse

proportionate explosive dynamics.

MILO:

What about it?

NED:

If you fire a weapon with the barrel

obstructed, the explosive force

multiplies by twenty-three point

five nine eight and reverses on itself

with diametric polarity?

MILO:

Yeah. So?

NED:

The gun will blow up in your hand...

and it won't even scorch my pinkie.

MILO:

Ha! That's just theoretical

hypothesis. Inverse proportionate

explosive dynamics has never been

demonstrated conclusively in a

laboratory environment.

NED:

Oh yeah. Then pull the trigger, smart

guy. Let's find out.

Milo hesitates, unsure. Finally, he releases the gun. Ned

raises it up on the end of his finger. Arch pulls it off

with a loud POP!
