The Sorcerer's Apprentice Page #2

Synopsis: Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Music, mostly.

So, this is me.

You work at the radio station?

Yeah, I do an afternoon show.

Are you kidding me? That's so cool!

It's just college radio.

Like, seven people listen to it.

I'll be listening. That's one more.

You can round it up to eight.

I think that's our antenna!

- What's going on?

Hey, gorgeous.

The whole mixer is toast,

and Freddy called in sick.

Sorry to bother you.

Where does your engineer

keep his equipment?

Who's this guy?

So, the good news is

you're still transmitting.

The bad news is

your return loss, way too high.

All right, if I know what I'm doing,

we should be good!

Yes!

- Thank you.

- No, please, it was my pleasure.

I could tell

this is all pretty important for you.

My show is the one thing that...

Well, you know.

Mmm-hmm.

Physics. That's my thing.

I'll see you around.

You didn't ask her out!

You just fixed her antenna and you left.

That's not the point.

She will remember me.

"She will remember me"?

Who are you? Braveheart?

Bennet, I blew my shot

at getting this girl 10 years ago.

I can't do it again.

Now get out of here

before you get electrocuted.

... and it's

a miracle we made it on the air tonight.

This show may not matter,

but the music does.

This is Becky Barnes, WNYU Radio,

hoping there's music all around you.

I don't understand. Why did you have

to buy this piece of junk?

Junk? It's an antique!

Antique? It's a piece of junk

from a flea market!

Am I the first one out?

That's a yes.

Our 10 years are up, Balthazar.

When I get the Grimhold

from young David,

I'll tell him you said hello.

Cheerio, Balthazar!

I thought B- was generous.

I've recently been released

from a 10-year sentence,

during which the only reading material

available to me

was your so-called report

on Napoleon Bonaparte

from your school bag.

Your analysis was obvious,

your prose was weak.

- I was nine.

- Irrelevant.

Where's the Grimhold?

That doll you took from the shop.

The doll held something very powerful.

Something very important to me.

You had it last.

I want it back.

Listen, I'm...

- I threw it in the street.

- Where's the Grimhold?

It's been a long time.

I don't actually know where it is.

I'll cut the truth out of you.

Sweet.

Get him.

Wolves? No, no, no, no.

Oh!

Thank you.

Wolves.

Man, oh, man, oh, man, oh, man.

No, no, no.

Oh, no!

Kill him.

No!

Puppies?

Oh, my.

No way.

Where's the doll, Dave?

Him, him.

All right, get up here.

Now! Now! Hurry!

Oh, no!

This is not happening.

This is not happening.

I taste sour in my mouth.

Take it easy, Dave. Deep breaths.

What?

Now that is not happening!

What's wrong?

What is it?

No, no, no, no!
