“What I learned doing this assignment is…?” One can have a lot of fun by playing with these techniques to make the action livelier.
INT – CULT BOMB FACTORY – DAY
Roughly furnished room. Tables with bomb-making equipment and tools.
Agents have arrived previously. There are bodies lying around. The rooms have been shot up. Several prisoners are handcuffed and being removed.
Saul and Sandy enter. One AGENT is working at a table. He is wrapping a little plastique around a detonator cap and attaching it to a timer and battery assembly from some on the desk.
A young GIRL, maybe twelve is on the floor tied hand and foot, and stretched out. Mouth bleeding and bruised. Could have been Saul’s daughter in a few years.
AGENT.
She’s a stubborn bitch. We can’t find the finished bombs. There’re photos and timetables of the shuttle loading areas.
SAUL.
They’re trying to get a bomb on board an Alien ship.
SANDY.
That’ll make the shit hit the fan. She needs to talk. It shouldn’t be too hard.
GIRL.
Never. You can’t scare me. I’m doing God’s work. Those devils will die and we’ll be free again.
The agent jams the charge between her legs. He sets the timer where she can see it.
AGENT.
Five minutes sweetie. Actually, four. That’s when we leave the room. It’s a small charge. You won’t die right away.
GIRL.
How can you help them? They killed millions of helpless people in the most horrible way. Half the world can’t have children.
SAUL.
You people killed children. My daughter included. Aliens killed people who deserved to die. They sterilized people who were sociopaths and bred more sociopaths.
GIRL.
If we kill enough people, the Aliens will leave. We will be free again. You should be helping us.
SAUL.
Look at the world now. It’s never been better.
SANDY.
They kill by mind control. If they’re so bad why aren’t you and the people like you screaming in pain now.
AGENT.
Three-minutes.
SANDY.
Honey, you can have a life. Kids. There won’t be prison. You know most convicts only go to rehab. Don’t inform on your friends. Just tell us where the bombs are going and when they’ll go off.
AGENT.
Two minutes.
SAUL.
You people shot my daughter and a dozen other children while they were playing in a school yard. She died in my arms.
GIRL.
She was collateral damage and part of our plan. That’s what you get, Alien-lover.
Saul yells, draws his gun, cocks it and holds it to her head, shaking.
SANDY.
SAUL!
He puts the gun away.
GIRL (praying)
Oh God! Take me to your bosom. Consign the Godless Aliens to Hell. Burn heretics who protect them. I am strong. I will see my family again. Etc.
AGENT.
One minute. So long, sweet dreams.
The agent leaves the room. Sandy pulls Saul and they leave and close the door.
30-seconds.
20 -seconds
10-seconds
The Girl still praying.
Saul bursts into the room and pulls the wires away from the timer.
SAUL.
OK. We’ll play this another way.
GIRL.
I’ll never talk. You won’t kill me.
SAUL.
You’re right about that. We’re going to give you a treat that only a few people have had.
Actually, a few thousand. The experience was so exciting they couldn’t get over it.
Have you ever ridden in a space shuttle?
GIRL.
No one has.
SAUL. Wrong. Have you ever been inside an Alien ship?
GIRL.
Of course not.
SAUL.
Have you ever seen an Alien.
The girl has gotten quiet and is fidgeting uncomfortably. She is staring at Saul and licking her lips.
SAUL.
Did you ever wonder at all that beef that gets shipped up to the Aliens?
I’m going to show you something that had to be smuggled off one of their ships.
Have you had lunch yet …
…I think it’s lunch time.
Saul takes out the video player that he had the Agency make. He holds it in front of the girl.
SOUNDS (O.S.) from video.
Human screams, grunting, snarling, bones crunching, flesh tearing, more screams, snuffling, more screams. Then, just bone crunching, flesh tearing and slurping.
The girl is screaming and hysterical.
EXT – SHUTTLE LOADING AREA – DAY.
The shuttle is a flying saucer, the size of an 18-wheeler. It is surrounded by danger cones and a red circle about 15-feet out from the edge.
A dog walks into the red area and is jolted into the air, yelping. It falls, lays still, gets up, looks at the place and staggers away.
There are buildings around the edge of the field, including a large restaurant. There are palettes, piles of packages and various assemblies all around.
There are mobile palettes and loading vehicles. The drivers bring loaded palettes up to the red area and use remote controls to move them to an elevator that brings them into the ship.
Saul and Sandy are checking the codes on the palettes. They find one and carefully start to move packages off. They find one and remove it, holding it gingerly. They sit down on a box, open the package and cut some wires. They sit back relieved.
SANDY.
That was easy.
SAUL.
It always worries me when things are too easy. I’m superstitious.
SANDY.
Relax and enjoy it.
Did you ever have worries about this job? When you really think about it, whose side should we be on. Not that I think these crazies could drive the Aliens away if they didn’t want to go.
While Saul and Sandy are talking, drones are seen over their shoulders, gathering over a jungle-gym-like structure in back of them.
They stand up, turn around and see the drones.
SAUL.
I knew it.
Very quietly Saul hands Sandy the bomb. He slowly pulls his gun.
SAUL.
One, two, three.
Sandy throws the bomb …
POW! POW! POW!
… and Saul fires at the package just as the drones begin to move. The bomb explodes killing several drones, but about ten escape the blast.
The drones fire pulsing lasers…
ZAP! BANG! ZAP! BANG! ZAP! BANG!
– that blow flaming holes in whatever they hit.
Saul and Sandy start running and dodging around the palettes and piles.
The two barely miss being blasted where the lasers hit. Saul could shoot them out of the sky, but as soon as he takes aim at one, he is attacked or shot at by several others.
Running, dodging, diving – their lives depend on speed. Saul gets off a few shots that blow up some drones, but there are still too many. They don’t have a chance out in the open.
SAUL.
Head for the restaurant.
They don’t see another dozen drones coming toward them.
Both run…
…shooting and dodging as they go.
INT – RESTAURANT – DAY CONTINUOUS
A restaurant with the usual tables, chairs, booths, columns, gas grill in the back behind the service counter, a bar, racks of glasses and bottles etc.
… and they burst into the restaurant and slam the doors shut. The lasers hit the glass, but only melt it a little.
Both fall into a booth relieved while the customers stare at them. The waitress comes over, sees the guns and screams.
WAITRESS.
THEY HAVE GUNS! AYYYYYYYY.
Her shriek would frighten an Orc. The customers and staff start screaming and running out the doors.
As the customers rush out the doors, the drones rush in. These drones have not only lasers, but they also have small grenades they drop.
The running and dodging starts all over. They use the tables and booths for cover. They run out of ammunition. Lines of grenades explode like Pearl Harbor.
Saul starts throwing objects at the drones. His enhanced reflexes let him hit several, but it is a losing battle.
Suddenly, Saul starts throwing napkin holders, but not at the drones…
…toward the back where the cooks were.
They continue their evasion tactics.
Broken tables, smashed plates, crunching under foot, splintered chairs, broken glass all over.
Most of the restaurant has been destroyed. It is almost flattened.
Nowhere to hide.
The drones begin to circle them. Saul and Sandy go back-to-back, frozen, awaiting the inevitable.
However, the drones seem uncertain now. They are circling the two, but darting in and out of the circle as if they can’t acquire their targets.
SAUL.
Don’t move. They can’t see a target unless it’s moving.
This seems to work for a minute, but then the drones stop moving uncertainly. They form a definite circle and the lasers start to pulse. There is no escape.
Meanwhile, the paper objects that Saul threw on the lit stove burners have caught fire. Smoke is billowing up. The smoke detectors start screaming.
The sprinkler system turns on. The drones are shorted out and fall to the floor.

What I learned doing this assignment is how much better an action scene reads when you stack it!
iNT. TRAIN/AISLE- DAY
Carlos and Aliyah play it casual as they make their way down the aisle.
The Distractor, buried in his usual collection of red bags, recognizes them, and buries his look back down into his bags.
Carlos grabs his neck…
….and pins him to the bulkhead.
CARLOS
You were part of it.
DISTRACTOR
(gasping)
Part of what? I… don’t… know…. what…. you’re… talking —
ALIYAH
— You lying fucker.
She unloads her fist across his face
CRACK
– and breaks his nose.
The Distractor knows his game of feigned innocence is over…
….he connects an uppercut to Carlos’ chin…
…Carlos falls back.
The Distractor pushes away Aliyah and his bags, and rises to his feet. Game on.
He turns to Aliyah…
…swing and a miss.
Carlos tackles him from behind…
…they hit the ground hard, the Distractor face-down.
…Aliyah kicks the guy’s face
THUMP
– like a soccer ball.
The Distractor reaches an arm back and swings it behind Carlos’ neck…
…and twists the headlock to roll on top.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
He lands three quick blows.
Blood starts pouring from Carlos’ mouth.
The possibility they will lose this fight overcomes Aliyah…
She panics.
She grabs one of the Distractor’s bags…
…shoves it over his head…
…and rings his neck to seal it.
The distractor pushes himself up with Aliyah still clinging on.
Carlos barrels the guy into the-
INT. TRAIN/GANGWAY – CONTINUOUS
Aliyah gets pushed back by the tussle…
…her arm hits the EMERGENCY EXIT button.
WHOOSH
-The doors zip open…
…and out fly Carlos and the Distractor…
EXT. TRAIN – CONTINUOUS
…their bodies bouncing on the ballast.

What I learned doing this assignment is that I need to work on learning this style of writing so it comes naturally. I’m still writing sentences. Out of time for this assignment, but as I write the actual screenplay, I’ll definitely work on this.
INT. MALL SANTA SET – DAY
Hearing gunshots, NICK takes GRIZZLY off his shoulder and holds him close to his face.
NICK Real?
Grizzly growls softly.
NICK (CONT’D)
Damn!
Nick slips Grizzly into his carrier and the carrier carrier strap into position in one fluid movement,already running toward the gunshots.
Rounding the corner, he sees IVY, not moving and presumed dead.
NICK (CONT’D) Oh no! You bastards!
The bad guys are hustling HOLLY and RUDY down the hall toward an exit at the couple’s slow speed.
Nick races after the them.
The mall cop pulls up from a side hallway on his Segway. Stares in bewilderment as Nick races by.
Nick is closing on a winterized fountain where a creche has been set up. He eyes it as he approaches.
The mall cop rolls at a sedate pace behind Nick.
Nick grabs the manger, dumping the baby out, wielding the manger like a weapon as he races on.
The mall cop looks in horror at the baby Jesus on the floor of the empty fountain as he passes.
The FBI agent wheels around, gun raised, when he hears Nick approach.
Nick, full speed, ducks and rolls forward toward the agent, the manger held above his head, clacking on the floor, shedding a piece or two of wood as Nick hurtles toward the agent.
The agent stares, dumbfounded as Santa rolls toward him.
Nick rolls to his feet with the manger still held above his head.
Nick crashes the manger into the head of the FBI agent who crumples.
The mercenary nudging HOLLY and RUDY along from behind turns too late. Nick has him in a strangle hold and his gun drops.
When the mercenary crumples, Nick drops him like a sack of potatoes as the mall cop rolls up on his Segway.
Nick pulls the Segway away from him.
The mall cop considers objecting.
Nick places the Segway in front of Rudy and lifts him onto it.
NICK (CONT’D) Hang on. Meet me at the south
entrance.
He lifts Holly up behind Rudy, placing her arms around Rudy’s waist.
NICK (CONT’D)
Got your feet on the platform?Holly nods.
NICK (CONT’D)
I’ll catch up with you. Just leanforward to go, back to stop, side to turn. Got it?
Rudy nods.
Nick turns to the mall cop.NICK (CONT’D)
You! Follow them and make sure noone bothers them until I catch up. The mall cop is dumbstruck.
NICK (CONT’D)
I’ll kill you if you don’t keep themsafe. Still dumbstruck.
You hear me? He snaps out of it.
NICK (CONT’D)
MALL COP I heard you.
Rudy leans forward and they begin to roll, the mall cop trailing after them, looking around in fright.
NICK
South entrance. You know where thatis?
Rudy nods vigorously as the Segway lurches down the hall.Nick grabs a string of lights, tree and all, from outside a store and uses them to tie the FBI guy’s hands and feet. The lights continue to glow.
He grabs tinsel from the tree but it shreds. The mercenary begins to groan.
Santa suit flying, belly in the way, Nick grabs lights from a tree across the hallway and rushes back, tree in tow.
He rolls the mercenary, now struggling, onto his belly.
Nick jerks the guy’s hands behind his back and lashing his hands and feet expertly with the lights.
A crowd gathers as Nick works quickly, calmly, and efficiently.
Nick rises, grabs the guns near both bound men.
He dumps the bullets out of both guns and accelerates toward the locker room, discarding the guns in a pretzel shop trash can as he goes.
He glances in the direction of Holly and Rudy when he gets to the locker room hallway.
They are only about 5 stores away, the mall cop next to them.
Rudy struggles to steer and balance, bumping into a calendar cart and lurching away again as they make their way to the south entrance.
Nick groans and takes off for the locker room.

What I learned doing this assignment is that I can add in a twist after a lot of action.
INT. MANHATTAN CENTRAL ROBBERY DIVISION – DAY
The hurricane winds pummel the streets.
A TV reporter comments:
TV REPORTER
The hurricane has hit New York. The governor has declared a state of emergency. No one should be on the streets. The risk of death is high.

Susan’s men spread out. Some enter the meditation room. Some follow Susan up the ramp to the second floor.
INT. GENERAL ASSEMBLY BUILDING – HALL FLOOR – DAY
Suspended from the ceiling above the stair landing connecting the lobby with the second-floor ceremonial entrance to the General Assembly Hall is a Foucault Pendulum, a 200-pound gold-plated sphere, 12 inches in diameter, held by a stainless steel wire suspended from the ceiling, 75 feet above the floor of the lobby and over a raised metal ring, six feet in diameter. It swings back and forth as the armed officers pass underneath.
At the top of the stairs, Susan finds wounded and dead UN guards. She kneels next to one man.
SUSAN
Who shot you?

The fourth floor balcony overlooks the Hall, which can seat 1,800. At 165 ft long by 115 ft wide, it is the largest room in the complex. The ceiling is 75 ft high and surmounted by a shallow dome ringed by recessed light fixtures.
At the front of the chamber is the rostrum containing the green marble desk for the President of the General Assembly and matching lectern. Behind the rostrum is the UN emblem on a gold background. Flanking the rostrum is a paneled semi-circular wall that tapers as it nears the ceiling and surrounds the front portion of the chamber. In front of the paneled walls are seating areas for guests and within the wall are windows which allow interpreters to watch the proceedings as they work.
BOOM, BOOM. The grenades go off, killing four terrorists. One lives but is wounded. Susan grabs him, shoves her gun into his neck.
SUSAN
How many of your men are down there?

Too many.
She head butts him with her gun and he falls back, unconscious.

Denice’s Fast Formatting
What I learned doing this assignment is how important it is to make every word, action, and sound in a fight or chase scene more exciting to the reader by the way it’s formatted.
