28A EXT. TANK 28A

The tank makes a quick run through a maze-like path with rounded

corners -- a computer memory microcircuit.

28B INT. TANK 28B

CLU:

...but I don't see what he's looking

for. I'd better get over to that

input/output tower and let him know.

28C ANGLE OVER HIS SHOULDER 28C

at the instrument panel.

DISSOLVE TO:

29 REAL WORLD - INT. A DARKENED ROOM - NIGHT29

A shot OVER THE SHOULDER of a figure typing on a computer terminal

keyboard, talking to himself in a low voice. He stop typing, waits

for some information to read out. Beyond him we see a couple of

large video parlor game consoles.

FLYNN:

Come on, you scuzzy little data,

be in there...

30 A SHOT FROM IN FRONT OF HIM30

He's a young, blonde guy in his mid-twenties. Very attractive,

charming, innocent looking, but with a devilish gleam in his eye.

FLYNN:

I've got such nice blue paper to

print you out on, if you'll just sit

still...

WE ZOOM IN on that gleam in his eye and see the brilliant colors of

the CRT screen reflected there.

CUT TO:

31 ELECTRONIC WORLD--EXT TANK31

The tank heads along a path of circuitry toward a tall, glowing

"tower" -- an input/output component.

32 INTERIOR TANK 32

A red light flashes on the control panel. Clu comes alert and sits

up. He stares at the warning. Spot of light that is Bit zips up next

to his head.

CLU:

Uh oh...we got company.

BIT:

(coming into shape again,

but red this time)

No!

CLU:

You said it ... one of those

Recognizers comes after me,

gonna hafta jump clear out of

the data stream.

CUT TO:

33 REAL WORLD - INT. FLYNN'S BACK ROOM - NIGHT 33

We see Flynn sit up abruptly, and his fingers start flying over the

keys.

34 ELECTRONIC WORLD - EXT. OF TANK34

We see the turret of the tank swivel around. PULL BACK. In the

distance is an immense block-like robotic bluish black form,

U-shaped, with a small head and a glowing yellow bar for eyes--

a recognizer. It hovers above the ground.

35 LONG SHOT THROUGH THE TANK PERISCOPE35

A second Reco is coming up behind the first.

36 INT. OF TANK36

CLU:

(in dismay)

Oh my...the long arm o' the law.

CUT TO:

37 EXT. LONG SHOT THE TANK 37

FIRES A VOLLEY at the first Reco. That one falls heavily to the

ground and the tank speeds up, swiveling around to try to fire at

the second Reco, but it moves too fast and can't avoid a gulley.

The tank goes in and is stuck - no traction.

38 CLOSE SHOT - TURRET 38

Clu standing on it. The Bit zips by him, and they both head away

from the tank, fast.

39 LONG SHOT 39

A glowing static field appears between the two legs of the

Recognizer, and it sweeps over the tank, de-rezzing it. We can

see more tanks approaching over an edge of the landscape.
