In ONESHOT that will last the scene, we move down a mile-long barfilled with booze-happy REGULARS, through leatherettebooths, and stop on a small karaoke stage. Everyone cheersas the immensely likable and slightly overweight MR. MARTIN,30s, starts singing to the tune of The Archies’ Sugar,Sugar.MR. MARTINGlucose -- ah, sugar sugar. You aremy favorite fuel. From the bloodbornesubstrate pool.CAMERA ROAMS to the dance floor, where the crowd bumps andgrinds. A lacy bra flies on stage, TAKING US back to Mr.Martin, clearly a favorite here. He gamely swivels his hips.MR. MARTIN (cont'd)Glucose -- mono saccharide sugar.You're sweeter than a woman's kiss.'Cause I need you for glycolysis.A sexy REDHEAD runs on stage and starts go-go dancing. Mr.Martin sings to her for all he’s worth.MR. MARTIN (cont'd)I just can't believe the way mymuscles take you in. For you,they'll open the door. All it takesis a little bit of insulin.

2.EXT. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FIELD - NIGHTFADE FROM WHITE to a bank of STADIUM LIGHTS. In another ONE-SHOT scene, we SWOOP DOWN, SkyCam-style, over the action ofa high school football game. The ball is snapped. Shoulderpads crunch. A hole opens. A RUNNING BACK bursts through theline, racing for a touchdown for the Waverly Tigers.As the crowd roars, we VEER off the running back, GLIDE overa squad of impossibly buoyant cheerleaders, and into thestands past cheering students, parents and faculty, until wereach --THE MARCHING BANDplaying a VICTORY SONG.

He keeps playing,face expressionless, eyes front. One stoner leans over therail and snaps Tom’s feather in half, so it flops down.STONER (cont'd)Oops, I think you need a newfeather.They crack up, but Tom doesn’t react. The other stoner leansover and dumps beer onto Tom’s headpiece. The stoners laughhysterically. Tom never even flinches. FREEZE and WHOOSH tothe wet face of the unflappable drummer. The words appear:The KillerFADE TO BLACK.EXT. MARTIN HOUSE - NIGHTFADE FROM BLACK to a nighttime sky full of stars.
