THE TOWN - Rev. 5/20/10 (Buff Reshoots) 1.<br />
FADE IN:<br />
1 EXT. HARVARD SQUARE PLAZA<br />
1<br />
Early morning. Just after eight. <strong>The</strong> Plaza where people<br />
come up from the subway station. Some kiosks nearby.<br />
An ARMORED TRUCK idles in front of Out of <strong>Town</strong> News. <strong>The</strong><br />
driver sits behind the wheel, taking slightly nervous<br />
stock of the morning scene.<br />
A CITY WORK TRUCK idles across from the bank.<br />
<strong>The</strong> COURIER (the guy who “couries” the dolly in and out<br />
of the bank) goes around to the back of the armored<br />
truck. He opens the door and pulls out a DOLLY and a<br />
METAL BOX. We see his SIDEARM on his hip.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Courier begins pushing the dolly across the plaza<br />
toward the bank. We TRACK WITH him. <strong>The</strong> walk winds<br />
around kiosks. He weaves through various PEDESTRIANS and<br />
LOITERERS, TRAVELERS, DRUGGIES, AND KIDS. We get the<br />
sense that something must be about to happen. It<br />
doesn’t. Sees a SUSPICIOUS PERSON, passes him, nothing<br />
happens. Wends around a work truck stopped in front of<br />
the bank. Still nothing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Courier reaches the bank doors. Safety. He opens<br />
the door and steps in.<br />
2 INT. CAMBRIDGE MERCHANTS BANK - CONTINUOUS ACTION<br />
2<br />
BOOM! With extraordinary violence, the Courier is<br />
SLAMMED in to as if by a savage HOCKEY CHECK by a MAN<br />
(DOUG) WHO is MASKED AND ARMED.<br />
THREE MORE ARMED, MASKED MEN move past them shouting:<br />
MASKED MEN<br />
Empty your pockets! Take it out!<br />
<strong>The</strong> stunned employees are PUSHED BACK while the bandits<br />
quickly rifle their pockets for cell phones.<br />
A TOUGH THIEF (JEM) JUMPS THE COUNTER and goes after the<br />
employees in the back.<br />
A HEAVY THIEF (GLOANSY) zip ties the door.<br />
A LARGE THIEF (DEZ) gets cell phones from people in the<br />
front.<br />
