Hey! Where's the Artwork?



Panel A

Sarah and Tommy in Sarah's front yard, early evening on a bright sunny day. There is a house-cat sunning itself on the porch. Sarah seems confused, and a little scared. Tommy is excited.

TOMMY: "What? What did it say?"

SARAH: "Nothing. Something stupid."


Panel B

We begin to pull away from the two kids, down the street a little way. Sarah tries to give the Magic Infinity Ball back to Tommy, but he refuses to take it.

SARAH: "I don't want this stupid thing. Take it back."

TOMMY: "No, not until you believe me."


Panel C

Sarah and Tommy still arguing in her front yard. We continue to move farther up the street away from them.

SARAH: "Take it back!"

TOMMY: "You hold on to it for me. Try it out. You'll see I'm not a liar."


Panel D

We have pulled back to the interior of a car parked down the street. A figure in a hoody watches the two kids intently from the driver's seat of the car. Sarah and Tommy are still arguing, but we have moved too far away to hear their conversation any more.

FIGURE IN CAR: "I know what you're thinking: ‘Go for the boy. A sure thing, direct access.'"


Panel E

Same shot from interior of car as the hooded figure watches the two kids argue.

FIGURE IN CAR: "But no. They already know about the boy. They'd notice for sure if I tried anything with him."


Panel F

Still inside the car up the street, but now we can see the hooded figure's face. It is Johnny Handsome, the hood hiding his bound and bandaged head. He brings a cigarette to his lips as he talks.

HANDSOME: "The girl, though. She might just do the trick."
