Interior Apartment
Handheld Camera

Jamie Beth and JJ are taping up pictures to the wall of the apartment, so far you can see a W and half of an E.
The camera gets up close in Jamies face.

Cameraman: Are you ready for a kick ass party.
Jamie (pushing the camera away): I would be more ready if you would put that damn thing down and help us.
Cameraman: I am helping, this video is going to be all Rob has to remember us by. This video will be more important then any decorations.

- Camera zooms in on Beths backside -

Cameraman: Now here is some footage Rob will appreciate.
Beth: You better not be pointing that thing at my ass again!
Cameraman: C'mon Robs going to be lonely over there, give him a little something to remember you by. Something to help him get through those long cold nights.
(camera pans up her body as she turns stopping momentarily at her chest then up to her face)

Beth (looking at the camera as if talking directly to Rob): You are not going to have a problem with being lonely over there, I am sure you will get some asian hottie within a week.

Cameraman turns the camera towards himself revealing HUD.

Hud: Dude shes right, they love american men over there. Take me with you!

EXTERIOR. NEW YORK COFFEE SHOP. Dawn.

Ron is sitting down, drinking a coffee and looking at the cityscape, worried.

Rob(trying to cheer up): I will miss these shops. I bet even coffee shops are crowded over there.

Camera man put the camera down on the table.

Slusho guy: You look worried man and not like, I'll miss coffe worried. Come on. I know you, you're my main dude. What's going on?

Rob: Is nothing. Really... well, is just that these Tagruato people... Just forget it. I'm scared about the new life I'm about to start. That's all.

SG: We'll make you forget all your worries. You'll see.

Rob: Thanks

SG (picking the camera up): Ok Rob, come on, its time to go home and record your metro trip once last time...

NY METRO TRAIN
Camera in lap, focused on Rob, 3/4 filled train cab. They are both sitting.

Camera man(HUD?): So, you havent told me anything specific, what are you really going to do in Japan, save the world?

Rob: I dont really know. It has something to do with Slusho!, and their parent company Tagruato. I haven't learned anything too specific. Ill let you know when i find out. (7 second pause) Ill really miss you guys.

HUD: Yeah man ill miss you too.

Rob: I wont miss that damn camera though. (Laughter) Really though, take care of everybody, ok?

HUD: Sure man.

The train stops and new passengers board. The train is almost full now and a good looking blonde is standing. Rob gets up and gives her his seat.

Blonde: (flirty) Thanks

Rob: Sure. Looks at HUD, smiles and winks.

A large, spotless and glossy piece of glass. We see that it is a WINDOW. The camera zooms in closer and closer, until we see outside. It is a metropolis; it is TOKYO (or wherever Tagruato Corp. is based)

Cut to a door opening, as a Japanese ASSISTANT barges in.

ASSISTANT: Mr. Yoshida, I---

He is interrupted as we cut back to the WINDOW...and a chair in front of it. The man in the chair has his back turned to the camera. He is shrouded in darkness and may or may not be petting a cat. This is GANU YOSHIDA.

GANU YOSHIDA (in requisite evil baritone): Excellent. And now our plan to give much needed funds and supplies to Tsunami victims will be complete! After that, it is only a matter of time before we eliminate poverty from Japan...Forever!

Maniacal laughter while [petting/not petting] his [cat/nothing].

ASSISTANT: Uh...sir, would you mind not doing that? I mean, it's alright if you do it in your office, but when you do it publicly, it really puts a negative spin on our humanitarian efforts.

YOSHIDA turns around.

ASSISTANT: Oh, and do you mind if I turn the lights on?

The lights turn on to reveal that GANU YOSHIDA...is actually a docile-looking middle-aged man wearing a Tagruato Lions Little League shirt.

YOSHIDA: Oh, sorry about that Todd. It's just that after trying out that new Chocolate Rage Slusho! we've been working on, I've been having these strange urges to do that...Please continue.

ASSISTANT: Well, I was just about to say that we've lost all contact with Scotland station. The last message we got from them was something about an earthquake...

YOSHIDA (looking troubled and sounding solemn): So then, it has begun.

ASSISTANT: Oh, and another thing sir. Why is it that, although we're a Japanese company in Japan and you and I are both Japanese, my name is Todd, and we're speaking English to each other? I mean, it's just a little---

EXTERIOR. TIMES SQUARE. AFTERNOON.

Rob, Hawk (the Slusho guy) and the cameraman (Hud) are walking through the middle of Times Square. Hud is walking directly in front of them, walking backwards, camera on Rob and Hawk, much to the annoyance of people walking behind him who, as Hud bumps into them, fall back, swear, gesture and generally insult him.

ROB: Stop doing that, Hud. You're pissing the people off.

HUD: Screw them.

HAWK: What are you doing anyway?

HUD: It's artistic. You know, like the great directors. Copolla. Spielberg. Scorcese.

HAWK (sarcastically): That Hud wanker.

Rob and Hawk chuckle. Hud falls back in beside them.

HAWK: Well, Rob, get in your last look of Times Square. This is your last time to look at some pure, unadultered, New York ass.

An attractive young woman walks past Rob. Rob, Hawk and Hud all follow her with their eyes.

ROB: I'm gonna miss New York ass.

They laugh. The laughter trails off, as Hawk and Hud notice Rob is looking forlorn.

HUD: Come on, man. Who knows, your last night, maybe tonight will be something to remember. The best night ever.

Rob, Hawk and Hud laugh.

HUD: By the way, man, in case you forgot, you owe me $11.

Rob looks at the camera, questioning. fade to black. Cut to:

Night Time, Rob's going away party...

Everyone: Surprise!!!!!!!!!

Rob turns away with other camera in face

Scenes of everyone dancing and saying goodbye.

Loud, Untelligible groan...

Somebody in background: What the F@$% was that?

Everyone on rooftop, chattering.

Background person: Maybe you should have left New York a little bit early.

Loud Explosion, sending little chunks of rocks into air.

Hawk: Holy S@#$!!!!!!!

HUD: Dude, I dropped the camera!

Rob: Just leave the camera!

Camera is picked up.

Camera turned to reveal SOL head flying toward Empire State Building.

Someone: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

Another chunk of building hurled by monster into large area of crowd near Rob and others

Cut to Static....

Static clears, picture fuzzy at first, then focuses, we become aware the cameraman is running from the unsteady camera movements. Cameraman points camera at Rob as best as he can

ROB: Jesus Hud! Why do you still have that thing! Ditchit already!

HUD (only voice heard):No way man! This is my ticket to movie stardom. If we Escape from this alive im going to release the movie without ever giving people the title. Then I'm going to start a game and give out obscure clues at really random times!

camera turns to Beth and Lil and Lena, running off to the side of the guys

JAMIE:Oh My God!!!!!!!!

EVERYONE: WHAT?!??!?

JAMIE: i think i left my webcam on!!!

INTERIOR. JFK AIRPORT TERMINAL 1. NIGHT.

A large number of people are piling out of the terminal gate into the JFK airport main terminal. There is a loud, groan-like roar, followed by a scrape. The crowd looks around, unsure of what is happening. Suddenly, the lights flicker and die, followed by another roar. Then, suddenly, the torch from the Statue of Liberty crashes into the roof of the terminal. Everyone dives, and there is a lot of screaming. The debris gathers, and the camera zooms around, eventually focusing on one man. He is bald, wearing a singlet, and is extremely pissed.

JOHN McCLANE: Oh, not fucking again...
