This is ELSA VAN HELSING. She’s a raven-haired fourth-
grader with the soul of a poet.
With eyes in the back of his head...
BURGEMEISTER:
Where do you think you’re going?
She freezes.
ELSA:
School.
He turns to face her.
BURGEMEISTER:
Is that so. What about that dog of
yours?
ELSA:
She’s not in the house and she’s
away from your tulips.
BURGEMEISTER:
I want you to remember something,
while your parents are away I am
in charge here.
ELSA:
Yes, Uncle Bob.
BURGEMEISTER:
Dutch Day is coming up and I don’t
need any trouble. How’s your song
coming?
ELSA:
Okay.
BURGEMEISTER:
Keep at it. Dutch day is a big day
for me.
ELSA:
Yes sir.
He’s finished. Has nothing more to say.
Elsa walks away, happy to be out of that conversation.
Burgemeister goes back to admiring his photo in the
newspaper.

INT. CLASSROOM - DAY
MR. RZYKRUSKI stands at the blackboard, where he's
written his name. He has a thick, impossible-to-place
accent, somewhere between a Russian spy and Dracula.
MR. RZYKRUSKI
Good morning children. I am Mr.
Rzykruski. I will be your new
science teacher. Apparently, Mr.
Holcum had an incident.
Edgar interjects:
E:
He got hit by lightning.
This is news to Mr. Rzykruski. The rest of the class,
including Victor and every child we've met so far,
already knew.
MR. RZYKRUSKI
Well. That is bad. But he did
not get "hit by" lightning.
Lightning does not hit a person,
the way one is hit by a baseball
or a cabbage.
On the blackboard, he draws a diagram to illustrate his
point, starting with a big cloud.
MR. RZYKRUSKI
Lightning is simply electricity.
The cloud is angry, yes, making
storm. All the electrons are
saying, "I am leaving you. I go
to land of opportunity."
He draws the ground beneath it.
MR. RZYKRUSKI
The ground says, "Yes, we need
electrons trained in science just
like you. Come! Come! Welcome!"
So both sides start to build a
ladder.
(drawing stick
figure)
This man, he comes out to look at
the storm. He does not see the
invisible ladders. When the two
ladders meet, BOOM! The circuit
is complete and all of the
electrons rush to the land of
opportunity. This man is in the
way. Yiii!

He draws "shock lines" all around the stick figure. It's
pretty violent.
