At the moment, there's quite a bit of activity at the Inferno's entrance.
KIDS are clustered around and Slip-Stream employees are passing out Arcade
promo sheets.
THE GROUP:
heads for the entrance, plowing their way through the crowd. Stilts and
Benz have their skateboards, jumping up onto the curb with them, then
popping them up into their arms.
INT. DANTE'S INFERNO -- DAY
Inside, the Inferno is a mishmash of video games, ancient carnival props
and old horror movie posters. Dusty, creepy under the right circumstances
and filled with leering faces... in short, any kid's bedroom taken to a
horrific extreme. At Dante's Inferno, they've got the latest games side
by side with chestnuts like Pac-Man.
THE GROUP:
makes their way inside, joining a cluster of KIDS in the center of The
Inferno. And there it is...
ARCADE:
It looks out of place in the midst of The Inferno. Shiny black,
high-tech, and almost self-contained, like some sort of space-age vertical
coffin. Laser-etched graphics on the sides bear the ARCADE logo and the
same strange, frightening face.
Alex and her friends are suitably impressed, most notably, Nick and Benz.
BENZ:
Check it out...
STILTS:
Definitely cool.
Nick is silent, letting his eyes explore the machine. He turns to Greg
and grins.
NICK:
Super computers, micro-processors... That's
Another kid, DELOACH, pushes his way to the front of the group. His
fighting a losing battle against acne.
DELOACH:
(looking around)
So how come they're previewing it in this
sh*t-hole?
STILTS:
If you weren't such a dick, you'd know what
a cool place this was.
DELOACH:
Gimme a break, they got f***ing Space
Invaders here. That's sh*t's for retards.
STILTS:
So...are you trying to say I'm retarded?
Is that what you're implying?
DELOACH:
No, but since I'm standing here, I'm
noticing that you're an ugly little f***
and you're making me sick...
That's it for Stilts. He launches himself at DeLoach, catching him off
guard and KNOCKING him to the floor.
Nick, Alex, and Greg are on them in a minute, trying to extract the two
from each other.
A LARGE MAN:
pushes his way towards them and effortlessly scoops both boys up, wrapping
a beefy hand around the scruffs of their necks. This is FINSTER, the
proprietor...enormous, bald, and always irritable.
FINSTER:
(shaking them)
Cut it out!!!
His face contorts and he spits as he speaks. Nice guy. Alex steps
forward, always the voice of reason.
ALEX:
It's okay, Mr. Finster...
FINSTER:
No it's not.
(to the boys)
You guys are shits and I'm throwing you out.
DELOACH:
(acting tough)
Your place sucks. Who gives a sh*t about
"ARCADE" anyway?
