Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade Page #5

Then, Halfbreed ENTERS through the trap door -- followed by

Rough Rider. Halfbreed grabs hold of Indy's feet, but Indy

kicks at him and he loses his grasp.

Indy crawls away, toward an opening on the opposite side.

Halfbreed grabs at Indy's feet again; Indy rolls away and we

SEE large bins of squirming snakes.

The combined weight of the three people is more than the

catwalk was intended for, and the BOLTS BEGIN TO RIP FROM

THE CEILING.

Everyone holds their breath, afraid to make another move.

Too late. SEVERAL BOLTS TEAR FREE. Halfbreed and Rough Rider

SCREAM... but it's Indy's end of the catwalk that DROPS

DOWN... PLUNGING Indy to the floor of the car.

He lands hard, with a SPLASH into a vat of water... where he

finds himself eye-to-eye with an --

ENORMOUS ANACONDA

The head of this snake is so damn big, it looks more like a

Tyrannosaurus Rex.

INDY:

Oh...

Indy jumps back in horror... only to land with a SQUISH into

the SNAKE VAT.

INDY:

Oh... Oh...

Hundreds of slippery, squirming snakes. Indy sinks into them.

They cover him. Engulf him. Almost smother him.

Indy jumps out of the side of the vat, freeing himself.

Indy locates a clean-out door at the bottom of the car and

uses it to escape.

Halfbreed, meanwhile, tries to open the closed window of the

car. He groans. Rough Rider moves to assist him.

ROUGH RIDER:

Here, let me.

EXT. THE TRAIN - DAY

Indy stops, checks to see the Cross still lodged in his belt.

Suddenly he looks worried as he frantically reaches into his

shirt, REMOVES A SNAKE FROM IT and tosses it away.

Roscoe APPEARS atop the reptile car and manages to grab Indy.

Indy kicks at him. Roscoe grabs onto the side of the reptile

car as Indy moves on to...

EXT. A FLATCAR - DAY

Indy climbs over canvas-covered circus equipment. Roscoe

follows, grabbing a long stick with a hook on it. He reaches

forward and trips Indy, who falls onto the roof of the rhino

boxcar.
