8 EXT. DAILY PLANET - DAY - TO ESTABLISH 8

The famous Globe sits atop the fifty story building,

scraping the bright blue sky.

8A EXT. STREET IN FRONT OF DAILY PLANET - EARLY MORNING 8A*

A few early bird newspaper Employees are arriving. We

FOLLOW a slight Young Man with a mustache and beard

wearing baggy jeans, jeans jacket, cap pulled low over his

eyes, tool belt around his waist as he enters the Daily

Planet building.

8B INT. DAILY PLANET LOBBY - CONTINUOUS 8B*

The Young Man passes a newspaper stand on the way toward

the elevators. As an elevator arrives and the Young Man

steps inside we

CUT TO:
*

8C INT. DAILY PLANET NEWSROOM - ELEVATOR STAND - CONTINUOUS 8C*

The Young Man exits the elevators and proceeds toward the *

"Pit" -- the area of desks reserved for reporters. He *

sits down at his desk with a tired sigh, takes off his *

shoes, rubs his feet. *

THE YOUNG MAN *

now takes off his jacket. He wears a T-shirt underneath. *

He puts both his hands on his chest, feeling a terrible *

tightness, looks around for then grabs a scissors off the *

desk, then lifts up his T-shirt just enough to reveal the *

bottom of a large Ace Bandage and starts to cut. The *

Young Man expertly maneuvers under the T-shirt, cutting *

away, finally unravelling the bandage and pulling it *

through the sleeve of the T-shirt. The Young Man takes a *

deep breath, sitting back in his chair... *

FROM THE BACK *

The Young Man now removes his cap, shakes his long curly *

hair loose, letting it fall to his shoulders. *

JIMMY (O.S.) *

You're in early. *

JIMMY OLSEN, cub reporter, approaches. He is twenty-one, *

looks years younger. In white T-shirt and jeans, Jimmy's

boyish good looks make him a potential heartbreaker.

Jimmy moves to the front of the desk and now stares at a *

rather beautiful young woman, still sporting the *

mustache and beard. *

JIMMY (CONT'D)

(taking a thoughtful

pose) *

I like the beard. But the *

mustache isn't working for me. *
