HAK FOO
You have never been there... with ME.
EXT. JADE’S SCHOOL—PLAYGROUND—DAY—SHORT WHILE LATER
At RECESS, JADE proudly/casually shows off the TATTOO on her ankle
to the same amazed group of KIDS (and DREW).
55
KIDS
<Awesome!, Cool!, It’s even gnarlier
than DREW’S tattoo!>
56
JADE
And I didn’t scream once while they
were doing it.
DREW—leans in close to scrutinize Jade’s tattoo...
57
DREW
<tsk>, that looks about as real as
those “magic ninjas” Jade’s always
talking about.
INCLUDE JADE—overly defensive, outraged:
58
JADE
The ninjas ARE real, and so’s my
tattoo!
(notices o.s.)
Unlike YOURS.
FAVOR DREW—looking defensive as the kids suddenly look at his arm—
where there is no longer a tattoo.
59
KIDS
<Hey, where’s YOUR tattoo? / Where’d
it go? / etc.>
Drew, sheepish at first, deflects the attention toward Jade.
60
DREW
Uhh... I thought you knew. They peel
right off—like this!
JADE—reacts as Drew lunges and grabs her foot, starts vigorously
RUBBING her ankle. STRUGGLING:
61
JADE
Hey! Whatchit, Drew! Cut it out!
FAVOR DREW—looking on in surprise as:
62
DREW
Whoa...
FAVOR ANKLE—the tattoo remains.
JADE—surprised, covers—though clearly concerned.214 Animation Writing and Development
