EXT. BACK YARD - DAY
It's a gathering of neighbors on Oleander Street; All ages,
shapes and sizes. Standing at attention like soldiers, orders
are being barked at them by ERIN (Female, 10).
Erin is strolling down the line inspecting her troops; we've
got one motivated little lady on our hands.
ERIN
Kay,people!... Today's the day. Are
we tired of picking up trash?!!
CROWD
Yes!
ERIN
Are we done with outdated coupons
and cheap looking full page ads?!?
CROWD
Yea!
I/E. CRAPPY CAR - CONTINUOUS
A street sign; it reads "Oleander St". SCOOTER pulls up
finishing a smoke. Looking like he just came from a bar fight
(that he lost), he's a man with a mission. The car barely
runs. Stereo thumping.
The back seat is filled with rolled up papers.
Scooter takes a drink of soda pop.
ERIN (O.S.)
Today's the day we take back our
neighborhood.
CROWD (O.S.)
Yea!
EXT. OLEANDER STREET - CONTINUOUS
A nice little middle class neighborhood. Scooters car waits
at the head of the street.
EXT. BACK YARD - CONTINUOUS
Erin has made her way to the end of her line of troops.
She stops and pivots to face the big guy on the end.
She looks up at the man towering over her. With a stiff upper
lip, she curls her finger to instruct the man to bend down to
her level.
Big guy bends down and gets in her face. Erin eyeballs him.
ERIN
Don't screw it up this time.
Man nods with dumb excitement.
Erin turns away and addresses the crowd.
ERIN
That's it!...........Man your
battle stations.
The people scatter from the back yard.
I/E. CRAPPY CAR - CONTINUOUS
Scooter straps on his protective glasses and gives the jalopy
a rev.
EXT. OPPOSITE END OF THE STREET - CONTINUOUS
Erin emerges and stands defiantly in the middle of the street
with arms crossed. It's gonna be a showdown.
I/E. CRAPPY CAR - CONTINUOUS
Scooter rolls his eyes and flashes a mean look.
He puts the car in gear. It creeps forward. Time to deliver
some newspapers.
IN THE CAR - MOVING
Scooter reaches for a paper and cocks his arm to throw it.
EXT. YARD #1 - CONTINUOUS
A tetter totter with an empty basket attached to it.
In pours the muddy gook mixed with news papers.
IN THE TREE
Big guy hangs from a rope harness.
ON THE GROUND
Kids cut the rope holding Big Guy
IN THE TREE
BIG GUY
Whoa!
ON THE GROUND
The catapult is launched.
EXT. CRAPPY CAR - CONTINUOUS
The soggy mixture of mud and papers lands on the windshield.
Scooter emerges from the car. Mud and papers cover him when
he opens the door.
SCOOTER
Gawd %!@&*
EXT. YARD #2
An elderly lady mounts her home made gattling gun. Her
assistant lines up the chain of ammunition made from news
papers.
ELDERY LADY
Puckin' loser.
She turns the crank and starts firing.
EXT. CRAPPY CAR - CONTINUOUS
Scooter is pummeled with a stream of papers. He falls.
The ambush is finished by all involved emerging from bushes
and hidden places etc.....
Everyone is throwing papers at the paper boy.
Dodging papers, he gets up. He is terrified.
EXT. OPPOSITE END OF THE STREET - CONTINUOUS
Over Erin's shoulder, the crowd is pummeling the paperboy
down the street.
Erin answers her cell phone.
ERIN
Yea....Tell the circulation manager
Oleander's clear. I'll start
delivering the Tribune on
Monday..... Dogwood's next..Oh...
and I want a raise.......
Erin leaves the frame talking while the chaos ensues in the
background.
FADE OUT
