THE FRONT DOOR—opens and JACKIE steps into the room and grabs his
wallet off his DESK.
125
JACKIE
Forgot my wallet. Are you ready for?
But he mugs in surprise as he sees...
JADE—fully dressed (in BLACK) with her BACKPACK on and a SACK LUNCH
in hand, smiling: there is not a NINJA in sight.
126
JADE
Under control.
JACKIE—looks at Jade in confusion.
127
JACKIE
Why are you wearing black?
128
JADE
(shrugs)
In a dark mood.
JACKIE—shrugs. As he turns and EXITS, PAN UP TO REVEAL the Shad-
owkhan, clinging to the ceiling above.
JADE—looks up at the ninjas on her ceiling, WINKS.
EXT. JADE’S SCHOOL—PLAYGROUND—MORNING, LATER
ANGLE—DREW and the same GROUP OF KIDS from before sit on the BLEACH-
ERS. JADE struts confidently up to them.
129
JADE
Get ready, guys. Time to PROVE my
“magic ninjas” are for real.
But DREW cracks wise and the kids all burst into laughter.
130
DREW
Oh yeah? Being dumb enough to get a
real TATTOO is one thing, but NINJAS?!
131
KIDS
PUSH IN—Jade SCOWLS with sudden rage.
132
JADE
Let me show you...
JADE’S POV, TUNNEL VISION—As DREW keeps laughing, sinister Shad-
owkhan EYES AND FACES appear in the darkness under the BLEACHERS
behind him. As they approach, BLUE HANDS reaching out from under-
neath to grab him...
