TAYLOR:

Anything else?

Will looks like he wants to say something. DING. The elevator

arrives at the top floor. The doors slide open. It's go time.

INT. THE GUGGENHEIM RAMP - CONT.

Taylor pushes out first, followed closely by Jay. They head

down the spiraling walkway, picking up speed on the top two

levels. They carve S-turns past gawking PATRONS.

Taylor lets out a SCREAM of joy. This is a serious rush. An

OLDER COUPLE points at them and laughs.

Even Jay can't help but smile. The sensation of living beyond

the rules fills him. He waves to the couple as he passes.

But when he looks back HE REALIZES WILL ISN'T THERE.

The guys weave through a row of sculpture. And pass a

SECURITY GUARD. Halfway down, suddenly...

A BLARING FIRE ALARM GOES OFF.

And things get hectic. Patrons start rushing for the door.

13.

Jay and Taylor must dodge and weave through the crowd. What

started out as fun has crossed the line of insanity.

Ceiling mounted security cameras track their movements.

Another SECURITY GUARD blocks the ramp exit. Taylor and Jay

have to LEAF A LOW WALL to avoid him!

They land on the lobby floor. They push through the crowds

heading for the door. The security guards pursue.

Jay and Taylor reach the doors first. They barrel through and

explode out on to Fifth Avenue.

SECURITY GUARD 2

Stop!!! Stop those two!!!

The Guards give chase down Fifth Avenue. But two middle-aged

men on foot are no match for two guys on rollerblades. The

Guards finally pull up, out of breath.

EXT. CENTRAL PARK - RESERVOIR GATE HOUSE

Taylor and Jay stop at the small stone building on the south

end of the reservoir. Joggers run by, hardly noticing them.

They look at each other, catching their breath. They break

into a wide grin.

TAYLOR:

Huh? Huh?!

JAY:

Not bad.

TAYLOR:

Not bad? Skydiving won't get you a

rush like that!

They sit and take off their rollerblades.

JAY:

It's not over yet,

TAYLOR:

He'll be all right. Will's the best

skater out of all of us.

JAY:

I didn't see him on the ramp. You?

Taylor looks in the direction of the Guggenheim. Even from

here, they can still hear the FIRE ALARM blaring.

14,

TAYLOR:

Try his cell phone.

Jay pulls out his cell and makes the call. We hear it RING

and then CLICK as someone answers.

WILL'S VOICE

(a hurried voice)

Did you get out?

JAY:

Will?

WILL'S VOICE

Did you get out?

JAY:

Yeah. We're in the Park. Where are

you?

A long beat of silence.

WILL'S VOICE

I'm sorry I had to do this.

JAY:

Do what?

And then...

KA-BOOM!!J

Beyond the tree line, in the direction of the Guggenheim, a_

massive fireball erupts into the sky.

JAY (cont'd)

Will? Will?

But the line is dead. Not even static on the other end.
