TO STARS HOMES" sign and TRASH CAN, upsetting them and
knocking a map-hawking kid out of his lawn chair...

Pop-Sweet rolls in star-maps and garbage. Gets up...

Keeps running.

Merrill leaps the trash can.

A moment, then Augustus arrives, leaps...
Trips over the trash can, falls hard. Scrambles up.

AHEAD, Pop-Sweet shoves an OLD WOMAN to the ground.

People gather to help the Old Woman up. She's thanking them
as Merrill comes barreling thru... knocking her down again.

AT AN INTERSECTION

Pop-Sweet runs across. Cars swerve and brake,
CRASHING all around,..

Pop-Sweet gets HIT, rolls across a car's hood...
CRACKS the windshield and rolls off...

Pop-Sweet recovers, dazed, stumbling to sidewalk...

Merrill's bearing down, makes a diving tackle...

INT. ANTIQUE SHOP -- AFTERNOON

Merrill and Pop-Sweet SMASH thru the front window.

The SHOP OWNER and a WEALTHY LADY react, terrified.

SHOP OWNER
Oh my Lord, no!!

Merrill and Pop-Sweet wrestle, punching and grappling,
surrounded on all sides by antiquities and shelves loaded
with precious knick-knacks.

SHOP OWNER
No, no, no! Stop this!

Pop-Sweet swings his arm cast -- KNOCKS Merrill back...

Merrill lands against shelves...
Fragile items teeter on the brink, miraculously not falling.

Pop-Sweet runs up a nearby STAIRCASE.

Merrill leaps to follow.

The shop owner goes to steady the shelves. Behind, THRU THE
BROKEN WINDOW: we can see Augustus rumbling this direction.

SHOP OWNER
(sigh of relief)
Thank God.

The shop owner takes a step back. Augustus jumps thru the
broken window...

AUGUSTUS
Make way!

BUMPS the shop owner, heading for stairs...
The shop owner's knocked forward, SLAMMING shelves. Dishes
and trinkets SHATTER. Shelves COLLAPSE like dominoes.

CUT TO:

EXT H 'WOOD ROOFTOPS -- FOOTCHASE CONTINUES

Pop-Sweet flees
out a rooftop door. Merrill follows. They jump from roof to
roof. Augustus arrives, far behind, really dragging.

ON ROOFTOPS

Pop-Sweet leaps from a higher ledge, runs to an open door.

Above, Merrill arrives, sees Pop-Sweet go thru that door.

INT. STAIRWELL -- FOOTCHASE CONTINUES

Pop-Sweet hurries downstairs, into a hall.

INT. MOVIE THEATER -- FOOTCHASE CONTINUES

Pop-Sweet comes through a door at the back of the theater,
gasping, squinting in the dark.

The theater's pretty crowded. On the screen, Linda Blair
curses and vomits im "The Exorcist." Pop-Sweet heads down
the center aisle, looks back...

Merrill enters from the same door. He spots Pop-Sweet.
Merrill chases. Pop-Sweet picks up the pace, yelling...

POP-SWEET
Fire! Fire!!

Pop-Sweet runs to an exit as panic begins. PEOPLE SCREAM
and pour into the aisle. Merrill curses...

MERRILL

Fucking first amendment violation...

Merrill's caught in the rush of patrons, like trying to swim
upstream. It's useless.

EXT. THEATER, REAR -- FOOTCHASE CONTINUES

Pop-Sweet pushes out the exit, followed by theater-goers.
He runs down an alleyway.

EXT. THEATER, FRONT -- FOOTCHASE CONTINUES

Merrill's in the mob exiting below the marquee. He pushes
through, heading down the block.

Augustus comes out... follows Merrill.

EXT. ALLEYWAY -- FOOTCHASE CONTINUES

Pop-Sweet enters this deserted alley, exhausted. He looks
around, has an idea... climbs into a TRASH DUMPSTER, closes
the lid. After a moment, Merrill arrives, running past...

Augustus arrives, watches Merrill disappear around the next
corner. Augustus follows, red faced... stops,
doubled-over, breathless.

Giving up, Augustus goes to sit on the ground, beside the
dumpsters, takes out his cigarettes. A moment, then, mere
inches above Augustus's head, one dumpster lid raises and
Pop-Sweet peers out.

Pop-Sweet looks around, with Augustus just below his sight
line, satisfied the coast is clear. Pop-Sweet throws the
lid open and starts to climb out. Augustus looks up...
Pop-Sweet looks down -- they both cry out in surprise.

Augustus jumps, grabbing, but Pop-Sweet clamors atop
another dumpster, looks up...

There's a long LADDER up the side of the building. It's
within reach. Pop-Sweet starts climbing.

AUGUSTUS
Merrill!

Augustus awkwardly climbs the dumpster.

EXT. PARKING LOT -- FOOTCHASE CONTINUES

Merrill runs out from the alley, searching.

AUGUSTUS
(distant)
Merrill!

Merrill hears, backtracks, running...

EXT. ALLEYWAY -- FOOTCHASE CONTINUES

Merrill arrives, confused... looks up...
Pop-Sweet's high on the ladder, hampered by his broken arm.
Augustus climbs after. Four stories up.

MERRILL
Ah, fuck, Gus... careful!

AUGUSTUS
I got him.

Augustus grabs at Pop-Sweet's ankles. Pop-Sweet kicks.

MERRILL
Don't you let him fall! You hear me?

Augustus grabs Pop-Sweet again, hanging on to his pants
leg. Pop-Sweet hooks his cast around a rung, swinging with
his good hand, beating on Gus.

Pop-Sweet's cast arm slips...

MERRILL
Don't drop him! We need him...

Pop-Sweet falls... screaming...

Merrill watches him drop. The SICKENING THUD is HEARD

MERRILL
... alive.

Merrill lets out a sigh, looks admonishingly up at Augustus.

Augustus looks down, embarrassed, at a loss.

CUT TO:

EXT. TED'S MANSION, REAR PORTICO -- AFTERNOON

Facing a vast view of the cityscape, Ted's alone,
continuing to play his Stradivarius violin. He's as awful
as before, but the difference is his patience is less.

His level of frustration has brought him near tears as he
tries over and over to play a section of music that just
refuses to come out anything other than jarring squeaks.

Finally, Ted grips the Stradivarius by the neck and
SMASHES it against the porch wall, again and again, till all
that's left of it are very expensive toothpicks.

Ted catches his breath, in a terrible state,
regretting. Expecting to feel better, he feels much worse.

BALLS
Excuse me... Mister Johnson...

Ted wheels to see Balls and Poe arrive.

TED
What is it?

Balls walks over, begins whispering in Ted's ear.
Balls finishes, steps back. Ted ponders, then
crosses on his way back into the mansion.

TED
Kill them, Poe. Find them, and make
them very dead.

Poe nods.

CUT TO:

INT. PRECINCT, CAPTAIN'S OFFICE -- AFTERNOON

D.A. Cocksucker studies the captain's bombed out office, grim.
He turns to the doorway, addressing POLICEMEN assembled in
the vice squad bullpen.

D.A. COCKSUCKER
Arrest them. Bring them to me.
Bring them to justice!

CUT TO:

INT. "HOUSE OF PIES" RESTAURANT -- AFTERNOON

Officer Steve pays for coffee near a pie display reading
"Happy Pie-Centennial!" He WHISTLES at a passing woman in a
mini-skirt. A BLAST of SIREN is HEARD. He looks.

Outside, Officer Jim's in the squad car, motioning for
Officer Steve to pull out.

EXT. "HOUSE OF PIES" RESTAURANT -- AFTERNOON

Officer Steve climbs in the car beside Officer Jim.

OFFICER JIM
A.P.B. came over the radio. They

Three Stooges.

OFFICER STEVE
(grins)
What are we waiting for?

The squad car takes off.

CUT TO:

EXT. H'WOOD SIDE STREET -- AFTERNOON

Jules sits atop the Mustang, reading Pop-Sweet's ledger book,
waiting. Merrill and Augustus are on their way from down
the block, worn-out.

JULES
You get him?

MERRILL
Dead.

JULES
Chalk up another victory for
Augustus's one man war on crime.

AUGUSTUS
Who said it was me? Anyway...
he fell off a ladder. It wasn't
really my fault.

JULES
Well, I got something..
(holds open ledger)
Pop-Sweet's accounting ledger for the
Disco-Strip. All the money
transactions. Look...
(shows ledger to Merrill)
Someone's putting their initials
beside the weekly totals. Like
they're acknowledging a deposit.

MERRILL
(reading)
"A.D."

AUGUSTUS
Who's that? Ted's money-man?

JULES
If it is, that's pretty high up on
the totem pole. What do you think?

MERRILL
Gimmie a minute.

Merrill leans against the Mustang, brooding, hands in pockets.
He looks down, touching the folded poster, remembering...

FLASHBACK -- XXX-THEATER -- THAT AFTERNOON

The "DEEP ASS" poster featuring Gus's girlfriend.

BACK TO SCENE ON STREET

Merrill pushes the poster back in his pocket, troubled.

MERRILL
Alright... how about you two hit the
strip and start knocking some heads
together? Find out who "A.D." is. I
got a quick errand to run.

JULES
Sounds good.

Jules slides down off the car while Merrill gets in.

AUGUSTUS
(to Merrill)
Where you gonna be?

MERRILL
It's personal.
(starts the car)
We'll hook up at Augustus's pad in
an hour. See ya then.

Merrill drives away. Augustus and Jules start down the
street.

EXT. APARTMENT COMPLEX -- AFTERNOON

Merrill stands in front of the apartment complex, lets out a
resigned sigh. He goes inside.

INT. "SCHOOL Girls" APARTMENT -- AFTERNOON

Merrill flattens the "Deep Ass" poster on a table.
Augustus's "school-girl" looks on, sad. The apartments
horrid. "Love American Style" plays on T.V.

"SCHOOL-GIRL"
I... I can explain...

MERRILL
I'm looking at this poster, and I'm
thinkin', I don't remember seeing
films like this when I was in school.

"SCHOOL-GIRL"
I was going to tell him.

MERRILL
What were you gonna say? Exactly how
did you think he was gonna make the
leap from dating a sweet, innocent
school teacher to an ass-fucking porn
star?

"SCHOOL-GIRL"
(starting to cry)
But... I love him. I do...

Gus's girlfriend buries her face in her hands, weepy,
Merrill starts looking around for something.

MERRILL
All I know is, you're setting up my
pal for the world's biggest broken
heart.

Merrill finds a pad of paper.

"SCHOOL-GIRL"
Let me tell him. Let him decide.

MERRILL
You're not gonna see him again.

"SCHOOL-GIRL"
What... what makes you think you can
order me around?!

MERRILL
Maybe I'm not making myself clear.
You're probably the first girl
Augustus's ever fallen in love with,
and I know for sure you're the first
he's slept with. So, how's he
gonna feel...
(holds up poster)
... when he finds out that the only
first he is for you is the first guy
who didn't have to pull out at the
last second to get his close-up?

The "school-girl" wipes tears, miserable.

MERRILL
Hasn't he got enough problems, or
didn't you notice that's not cream
soda on his breath?

"SCHOOL-GIRL"
... okay... you made your point.

Merrill lays the pad of paper on the table, places a
ball-point pen on the pad, pulls out a chair...

MERRILL
Sit.

CUT TO:

EXT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE -- AFTERNOON

The Mustang pulls up the drive of Augustus's tiny house.

DOWN THE STREET, in a parked Cadillac, Ted's henchman
Mickey takes notice. He lifts the microphone of a CB RADIO.

BEHIND THE HOUSE, Merrill parks.

INT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE, KITCHEN -- AFTERNOON

Merrill jimmies the back door and enters. He looks around,
opens a drawer... digs up a garbage bag.

IN THE BEDROOM, Merrill goes to sort thru the closet. He
pulls dresses and skirts, stuffing them in the garbage bag.

He removes a bra from the back of a chair.

IN THE BATHROOM, Merrill opens the medicine cabinet, finds
lipstick, make-up and tampons. Puts them in the bag.

EXT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE, REAR -- AFTERNOON

Merrill comes out the back. At trash cans, he shoves the
garbage bag deep, buries it.

INT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE, LIVING ROOM -- AFTERNOON

Merrill returns to place an envelope on a coffee table.
VOICES are HEARD OUTSIDE... a KEY IN THE LOCK. Merrill
hurries out just as Jules and Augustus enter.

EXT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE, REAR -- AFTERNOON

Merrill slips out the back. FOLLOW as he moves along the
side of the house, keeping low, to the front.

Down the street, in the Cadillac, Mickey watches, confused.

INT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE, LIVING ROOM -- AFTERNOON

Augustus goes to refill his flask near shelves which hold a
Dallas Cowboy SHRINE: Super Bowl VI and XII pennants,
autographed Roger Staubach photo and other memorabilia.
Augustus crosses himself at the shrine, making sure Jules
doesn't notice. Jules's looking around.

JULES
How can you afford this?

AUGUSTUS
Don�t ask.


Merrill comes in the front door.

MERRILL
Been waiting long?

JULES
Just got here.

MERRILL
How'd we do?

JULES
A.D. is a C.P.A.

MERRILL
Come again... ?

JULES
Aaron Davis; Certified Public
Accountant. But, that's all we got.

MERRILL
Maybe it's enough.

Merrill finds a yellow pages PHONE BOOK in a pile of
magazines, goes to open it on the coffee table, paging thru.

AUGUSTUS
No offices are gonna be open today.

MERRILL
(searching phone book)
Lots of these pencil-pushers work out
of their homes. It's a tax dodge.

JULES
Bad news is, word's spreading like
wildfire that we don't have badges,
and nobody wants to end up getting
splattered like Bob either.

AUGUSTUS
If we don't catch a break soon, we're
gonna be left standing with our dicks
in our hands.

JULES
Speak for yourself.

Augustus notices the envelope Merrill left on the table. He
picks it up, curious... unfolds the letter inside.

MERRILL
(searching yellow pages)
Bingo. Got him...
(TEARS PAGE OUT)
Let's pay Aaron a visit.

Merrill stands, then notices Augustus reading the letter.

MERRILL
What do you got there, Gus?

Augustus keeps reading, disbelieving, filled with sadness.
He lowers the letter, staring off.

AUGUSTUS
She... she's gone...

Merrill
(takes letter, reading)
Dear Gus... been thinking about
us... decided you're too good for me.
I don't deserve you...
(jumps ahead)
Don't try to find me...
(to Augustus)
Sorry, kid. That's a tough break.

Augustus looks zombie-like, reaches to take the letter,
studies it. He rips it up. Pause... then, Augustus lifts
the coffee table and chucks it across the room.

Merrill and Jules back off.

Augustus goes berserk, wrecking the place. He flips the
couch, pulls down shelves, knocks pictures off walls.

EXT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE -- AFTERNOON

Another Cadillac arrives with Balls and THUG-ONE. Mickey
gets out of his Caddie, preps a machine gun. Poe pulls up
in his supped-up MUSTANG with THUG-TWO as a passenger.

INT. AUGUSTUS'S ROOM -- AFTERNOON

Merrill and Jules watch Gus destroy his television.

MERRILL
He's taking this better than I
thought he would.

Augustus swats a lamp, kicks furniture, stumbles, and looks
around, breathing heavily. Pause... then, he sits, bursting
into tears. Jules moves to comfort him.

JULES
Whoa, whoa... it's gonna be alright.

AUGUSTUS
... where... where's a jerk like me
ever gonna find another girl to love
him... huh?...

Augustus sobs, truly heartbroken. Jules hugs him.

JULES
Don't talk like that. There's plenty
of women around for jerks like you.

AUGUSTUS
You're lying...

Merrill's sad, unsure. He pets Augustus's shoulder.

MERRILL
You're a good guy, Gus. These
things happen...

Augustus hugs Jules. She holds him, really feels for him.
Merrill notices something strange... crosses...

At the window, Merrill pulls the curtain: sees Poe and four
other villains heading across the lawn with lots of guns.

EXT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE -- AFTERNOON

Poe spots Merrill at the window.

POE
Now!

Villains OPEN FIRE...

INT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE -- AFTERNOON

Merrill turns and leaps onto Jules and Augustus, bowling them
over in mid-hug as the FRONT WINDOW IS BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS.

DOZENS of BULLETS and SHOTGUN BLASTS pepper the walls.

EXT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE -- AFTERNOON

Poe and the others move in, all SHOOTING...

INT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE -- AFTERNOON

Augustus crawls, wiping tears, terrified. Jules and Merrill
follow. Glass, plaster and splinters of wood shower down.

Augustus looks back...
Sees his Cowboy SHRINE BLASTED to PIECES

AUGUSTUS
Motherfuckers!

IN THE KITCHEN, Augustus, Merrill and Jules sprawl through
the doorway. BULLETS RICOCHET. Cupboards are blown open.

EXT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE, REAR -- AFTERNOON

Augustus, Jules and Merrill tumble out the back door.
They scramble towards the Mustang.

EXT. AUGUSTUS'S HOUSE, FRONT -- AFTERNOON

Villains keep up the assault. The Mustang appears from
around the side of the house, ZOOMING down the drive...

Villains redirect their fire. The Mustang hits the street...

Heading away. Poe shouts orders as he and his fellow
assassins run to their vehicles.




CUT TO:

EXT. URBAN STRAIGHTAWAY -- AFTERNOON

Here comes the Mustang, full out....
BEHIND: two Cadillac�s followed by the Mustang.

IN THE MUSTANG

Augustus's loading a pump shotgun, muttering angrily...

AUGUSTUS
Destroy a man's Cowboy shrine.
That's a declaration of war!

Augustus turns to peer out back.

AUGUSTUS
Okay, we got... one, two... three...
(up to Merrill)
Two Caddies and Poe's Mustang.

MERRILL
Could be worse. I don't know how,
but I'm sure it could.

Jules sits backwards in her seat, on her knees, fastens her
seatbelt. She leans out her window, FIRING...

ON THE STREET

Mickey shifts lanes as his windshield sprouts BULLET HOLES.

Poe's Mustang pulls ahead of the Cadillac�s. Thug-Two leans
out the passenger window and FIRES a MACHINE GUN...

BULLETS STRIKE the Mustang's ass. REAR WINDOW SHATTERS.

IN THE MUSTANG

Merrill hunkers down. Jules reloads. Augustus's horizontal.

JULES
(to Augustus)
You plan on shooting that gun or just
hugging it?

AUGUSTUS
I'm waiting till the time's right.

MERRILL
Well, sometime before we're all dead
would be nice, if it's not too much
fucking trouble!

ON THE STREET

In the Mustang, Thug-Two withdrawals to reload.
Augustus pops up in the Mustang's rear window, BLASTING...
The Mustang's right HEADLIGHT FRAGMENTS.

IN THE MUSTANG

Augustus PUMPS the shotgun, targeting...

AUGUSTUS
He's too far back.

Merrill looks in the rearview, hits brakes...

ON THE STREET

The Mustang slows, bringing the Mustang closer...

AUGUSTUS
Thank you...

Augustus FIRES...
Poe and Thug-Two duck as their HOOD is BLOWN CLEAN OFF...

IN THE MUSTANG

AUGUSTUS
Fuckin a! Flipped his fuckin lid!

ON THE STREET

The hood spins in the air... bounces off Balls' Cadillac.

IN THE MUSTANG

Poe curses, downshifting, exposed ENGINE WHINING...

ON THE STREET

The Mustang falls back. Mickey's Cadillac comes to the
Mustang's driver side... BASHING... SLAMMING...

Augustus FIRES out the side window...

CRACKS Mickey's windshield, but Mickey keeps RAMMING.

FURTHER DOWN THE STREET

The chase roars past.
IN THE OPPOSITE LANE, a police squad car passes...

IN THE SQUAD CAR

Officers Steve and Jim crane their necks, looking back.

OFFICER STEVE
You see that?

OFFICER JIM
Sure as shit I did.

Officer Jim spins the wheel...

ON THE STREET

The squad car jumps the divider, u-turning.

AHEAD, DOWN THE STREET

The Mustang and Mickey's Cadillac keep slamming.
They separate to get around a slow truck, then...

SLAM back together.
BEHIND: GUNFIRE from Balls' Caddie...

IN THE MUSTANG

Merrill flinches as a BULLET DESTROYS his REARVIEW MIRROR.

MERRILL
This is completely, Goddamn
unacceptable!

ON THE STREET

Merrill accelerates as Gus and Jules return fire. The
Mustang moves left, cutting in front of Mickey's Cadillac...

IN THE MUSTANG

Merrill looks to Jules, who's reloading again.

MERRILL
Get his attention.

JULES
(raises and cocks guns)
Your wish is my command.

ON THE STREET

The Mustang brakes, keeping left, which brings Mickey's
Cadillac along Jules's side as Jules OPENS FIRE...

Mickey ducks as his WINDOW IMPLODES...

Merrill jams the steering wheel right...
FORCING Mickey's Cadillac over, toward sidewalk...

IN THE MUSTANG

MERRILL
(thru clenched teeth)
This one's for McDoogle's kid!!

ON THE STREET

Mickey's Cadillac COLLIDES with parked cars -- lifting
impossibly, airborne, spinning sideways.

CRASHING an abandoned STOREFRONT as citizens flee!

IN THE MUSTANG

JULES
(looking back)
Bye-bye bad guy!

ON THE STREET

Back at the storefront, Mickey's Cadillac BURSTS INTO FLAME!
Debris flies. And then, as one might expect, Mickey leaps
out from fire, BURNING FROM HEAD TO TOE, running in circles,
flapping his arms!

CUT TO:

EXT. DOWNTOWN -- CHASE CONTINUES

AT THE MOUTH OF A TUNNEL, the Mustang soars out, heading
downhill to mid-city streets.

The Mustang and Balls' Cadillac follow...
The squad car tails, still in the running.

IN THE MUSTANG

A SIREN is HEARD behind. Merrill glances back, happy...

MERRILL
Hey-Ho... ! Maybe we're not alone in
this thing after all.

JULES
(lifts sunglasses,
squints back)
Who is that... ?

ON THE STREET

In Balls' Cadillac, Thug-One SHOOTS at the squad car as it
passes. Officer Steve returns fire.

Then, the squad car overtakes Poe's Mustang. Officer Steve
SHOOTS at Poe. The Mustang swerves away.

IN THE MUSTANG

AUGUSTUS
Far out, man! Get those bastards!

Augustus gives a thumbs-up, smiling...

IN THE SQUAD CAR

OFFICER STEVE
Fucking hot-dogging vice pricks.
Let's see how hot you are now... !

Officer Steve levels his pistol at the Mustang...

IN THE MUSTANG

The smile is wiped off Augustus face as Officer Steve
FIRES at him repeatedly. Our heroes duck and cringe...

ON THE STREET

The Mustang takes a sharp turn, gaining breathing room.

IN THE MUSTANG

MERRILL
What the hell's his problem?

JULES
You mean, besides the warrant out on
us for blowing up our commanding
officer?

Augustus rise's with his "Cowboy" helmet on, peers back,
recognizing the officers behind...

AUGUSTUS
Remember those two uniform cops who
been giving us such a hard time... ?

MERRILL
Yeah.

AUGUSTUS
The ones you got in that fist-fight
with a couple a weeks ago... ?

MERRILL
Yeah.

AUGUSTUS
That's them trying to kill us.

MERRILL
Well, they sure know how to hold a
grudge.

ON THE STREET

The Mustang makes another shrill turn...
Past a "WRONG WAY" sign, up a "ONE WAY" street...

IN THE MUSTANG

THRU THE WINDSHIELD: lots of cars heading this way.

JULES
Interesting choice.

Merrill lays on the horn, steering...

ON THE ONE WAY STREET

Chaos. The Mustang weaves thru traffic. HORNS BLARE.
Cars SMASH each other to avoid head-on collisions...

Behind, the patrol car slows, breaking away, choosing
another route. But, the Mustang follows the Mustang...

Side-swiping other vehicles, SCRAPING past, RAGING FORWARD.

Behind, Balls' Cadillac RAMS cars aside...
Takes the path of least resistance: sidewalk...

PLOWING THRU clothing racks and tables of a "SIDEWALK SALE."

The Cadillac clips tall SCAFFOLDING on its way back to the
street. The scaffolding lets out a CREAKING GROAN...

Scaffolding falls...
In the street, drivers inspecting their crashed cars must
now to run for their lives as scaffolding CRASHES DOWN.

Above, WORKMEN hang from windowsills, screaming.

AT THE END OF THE BLOCK

The Mustang hits open street, blasting forward.

Congestion ahead, so the Mustang cuts across sidewalk
BOUNCING up a wide, marble staircase...

IN AN OPEN AIR PLAZA

A FOLK SINGER plays guitar and sings about "peace, love and
happiness" for an audience gathered around a fountain. Many
others are picnicking on blankets nearby.

The Mustang ROARS as it reaches the top of the stairs...
Heading straight for the crowd...

Pigeons take flight. People shriek and flee. Many are
knocked into the fountain. The Mustang cruises thru.

Behind, the Mustang and Cadillac follow..

ACROSS THE PLAZA

The Mustang RUMBLES down another staircase.

CUT TO:

EXT. MORE DOWNTOWN STREETS -- CHASE CONTINUES

FOLLOW as the Mustang arrives, spinning out, moving on...

RIPPING PAST cross streets...
Gaining some distance on the Mustang and Caddie.

Behind, the squad car turns off one cross street,
fishtailing to rejoin the chase.

AHEAD

Merrill takes the Mustang down a long block...

IN THE MUSTANG

MERRILL
(daunted)
Okay... it just got worse...
