Final Destination Page #2

Synopsis: Final Destination is an American horror franchise composed of five films, comic books and novels. It is based on an unproduced spec script by Jeffrey Reddick, originally written for the X-Files television series, and was distributed by New Line Cinema. All five films center around a small group of people that escape impending death when one individual (the protagonist of each film) has a sudden premonition and warns them that they will all die in a terrible mass-casualty accident. After evading their foretold deaths, the survivors are killed one by one in bizarre accidents caused by an unseen force engineering complicated chains of cause and effect, resembling Rube Goldberg machines in their complexity.

Alex gathers his bags, as does his best friend TOD WAGGNER and his older

brother GEORGE WAGGNER, standing before their father, JERRY WAGGNER. For

Alex, any psychic tension from the night before seems forgotten in the fun

and excitement of the trip.

MR. WAGGNER

Alright, you guys got everything?

TOD:

Yeah, we're all set Dad.

MR. MURNAU, the French teacher (any further description necessary?) and

leader of the class trip waves his arm.

MR. MURNAU

Les estudients, allons en France!

MR. WAGGNER

Does that mean "go?"

Tod shrugs, "I guess." as he moves to his father and gives him a warm hug

goodbye. Mr. Waggner then gives his older son a hug.

AIRPORT P.A. (V.O.

Atencion senores pasajeros. No

es necesario contribuir...

MR. WAGGNER

I'll miss you guys.

Tod and George gives a wave, as does Alex, who is slapped on the back by Mr.

Waggner.

MR. WAGGNER

Take care of those two, Alex.

ALEX:

I will. Don't worry.

The group begins down the airport toward the check-in counter. In the f.g.,

before the boys, strides a girl, CLEAR RIVERS, 17, reading the TROPIC OF

CANCER. The loner in the group, Clear wears dark colors against the

insecerity of her sex appeal. She appears aloof and more wordly then the

other students.

Readying his ticket and documents, Tod flips open his passport, checking out

his photo.

TOD:

I didn't think anything could

worse than my yearbook picture.

GEORGE:

Now you know how I feel haven'

to look at you all the time.

AIRPORT P.A. (V.O.)

Avis aux passagers...

Mr. Murnau stops the group. Excited, he cups an ear with one hand while

raising a finger toward the public address system.

MR. MURNAU

Entendez classe, qu'est ce que

c'est l'announce?

Everyone begrudgingly stops to listen.

AIRPORT P.A. (O.S. CONT'D)

Vous n'etes pas dans l'obligation

de contribuer aux demandes des quemandeurs.

CARTER HORTON:

is the class d*ckhead who mix and matches his role models in the most

superficial manner. His hand is tucked into his girlfriend, TERRY CHANEY'S,

waistband...

CARTER:

(re:
MURNAU)

What the f***'s he want?

Terry, hot now, but with no idea what time will do to her in just five

years, smiles obsequiously and mouths "shh."

P.A. SYSTEM (O.S., CONT'D)

cher aeroport n'est responsable

pour leurs activities.

Mr. Murnau scans the group, his expression looking for an answer. Clear

Rivers keeps her head in her book as...

CLEAR:

The airport doesn't endorse solicitors.

MR. MURNAU

Tres bien, Clear! Tout droit!

She doesn't react. Her expression remains cool as Murnau leads the

procession forward. The boys continue. Alex sighs...

ALEX:

Fuh-ck, do we have to put

up with that sh*t the whole time.

A hand reaches out to gently detain Alex. He looks up to find a HARE

KRISHANA, dressed in everyday clothes, but head shaved and a mark on his

nose.

Morgan was born in Syracuse, New York, and moved to El Cajon, California at the age of 14.
