JADE

Uhhh, TOLD you it was real.

INT. JADE’S SCHOOL—BATHROOM—SECONDS LATER
JADE—vigourously her ankle, with her BARE FOOT in a sink full
of SUDS.
64
JADE
C’mon, off! Off! OFF!!

CLOSE—Jade’s HAND wipes away the SUDS... and her DRAGON SKULL tattoo
is still there, staring at CAMERA.

ANGLE—Jade, looking worried. Flat:
65
JADE
I’m in trouble.

EXT. ESTAB. / INT. UNCLE’S SHOP—LIBRARY—EVENING
ON THE DOORWAY—As Jackie, Uncle, and Tohru quietly research the
ARCHIVE, we hear the of the front door and Jade <CLUMP,
CLUMPS> by the doorway, wearing BIG OVERSIZED SKI BOOTS.
66
JADE
Hey.

Jackie looks up in confusion as the continues.

INT. UNCLE’S SHOP—CONT.
ANGLE—Jackie steps out of library to find Jade sitting in an ANTIQUE
CHAIR doing her HOMEWORK, still wearing the SKI BOOTS. He mugs at
her in bewilderment.
67
JACKIE
Jaaaade, why are you wearing ski
boots?

Jade shrugs, trying to play it casual.
68
JADE
Heard it might snow?

CLOSER—Jackie crouches beside Jade and pulls off the boots, and Jade
mugs in panic and points o.s.
69
JACKIE
It’s 72 degrees out—
70
JADE
Avalanche!

Jackie turns to look and Jade quickly THRUSTS her tattooed foot
inside her BACKPACK. When Jackie turns back to face her, Jade
smiles hopefully.
