Pig Nose #1 spins. We sense reckless anger. He raises

the UZI. Utah squeezes the trigger.

No death. No blood.

Just buzzers and flashing bulbs.

Pig Nose's flak vest lights up like a pinball machine.

Utah's laser weapon hit the "kill zone". Pig Nose rips

the tape off his face and the FBI CADET shakes his head in

disgust.

OBSERVERS step forward. Bank customers. Bank tellers.

All FBI personnel. MEDICAL STAFF offer the woman driver

assistance. Pig Nose #1 heads for Johnny, but is subdued

by other agents.

PIG NOSE #1 (FBI CADET)

I wanna say just two words to you,

a**hole, SIMU-LATION!!! Johnny-

f***in' Utah. Guys like you will do

anything to win!

Utah stares back in defiance.

The SURVEILLANCE van pulls up nearby.

BINOCULARS runs out and pinches two fingers together,

right in Johnny's face.

BINOCULARS:

This far, Utah! You're this far

from being the most overqualified

guy Burger King ever had. Get me?!

UTAH:

Yes sir. Sir?

BINOCULARS:

What?

Johnny gestures to the car.

UTAH:

I did stop the perpetrators.

Utah turns to go. As he passes he casually raises his

laser-shotgun and re-triggers Pig Nose's flak vest.

LIGHTS AND BUZZERS.

Pig Nose explodes. More agents restrain him.

Screams and shoving matches and pissed off guys.

Utah walks off, down the simulated street, past a sign

which bears the FBI SEAL and reads "Combat Village,

Quantico, Virginia."

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. PACIFIC OCEAN - DAY

Red sky. A luminous Pacific. Five foot faces. Nice

curl. A lineup of SURFERS wait outside the break.

Silhouetted, bobbing like a pack of sea mammals.

INT./ EXT. TAXI

A flood of orange through the windshield as the cab crawls

down Ocean Park to the sea. CAMERA HANDHELD from the back

seat.

The driver turns to us.

DRIVER:

Anywhere? You don't care?

UTAH (V.O.)

Anywhere. I've just never seen the

ocean before.

CUT TO:

EXT. VENICE BEACH

JOHNNY UTAH trudging across the sand, holding his shoes.

Garment bag and a big duffel over his shoulder.

He looks silly in his dark suit, tie loosened, wearing a

turned around baseball cap.

He wiggles his toes in the sand, looks around like a kid.

A pack of BOUNCING BEAUTIES jog through frame.

Utah grins, reaches up and turns his cap around.

It reads "I Love L.A."
