UPSHOT—JACKIE GRABS a rung, stopping himself; above, several ninjas
slink spider-like down the shelves.


DOWN SHOT, PAST JACKIE—(who is still more than halfway up the
ladder’s great height), at the leering Enforcers.


THE ENFORCERS—grab the ladder with a mischievous nod...

Heave... HO!!!

UPSHOT—the ninjas miss Jackie as the ladder ZOOMS o.s.

JACKIE
<WAAA!, Gasp!>


TRACK JACKIE—clinging to the ladder as it STREAKS along the wall.
He mugs in panic, then reacts to o.s....


QUICK CUTS:



Jackie LEAPS from the ladder...
... catches himself on an ANCIENT CHANDELIER and SWINGS
across the room...
ON A HUGE WINDOW—Jackie lets go of the chandelier, tucks
into a ball as he <RIP!> hits the window’s VELVET DRAPES and...



EXT. MEDIEVAL CASTLE—NIGHT, CONT.
WIDE... sails through the glassless window of the CASTLE,
wrapped in the drapes.

JACKIE
<WAAAAAAH!>


The drape-wrapped BLOB drops like a stone until suddenly...
it UNFURLS into a MAKESHIFT-DRAPE PARACHUTE, with Jackie hanging safely
from the bottom.


TRACK JACKIE—floating, relieved. He wryly quips:

JACKIE


I guess it’s curtains for me.

ON ENFORCERS—The ninjas “glare” at them.

DISSOLVE TO:


EXT. JADE’S SCHOOL—PLAYGROUND—DAY
CLOSE—A FLAMING PIRATE-SKULL WITH AN EYE-PATCH...


PULL BACK TO REVEAL—... is TATTOOED on the bicep of DREW, who smiles
proudly as he shows off to a small group of impressed (REUSE) KIDS
at recess, JADE among them.
