Godzilla Page #18

He smells his own hands and realizes he smells like

fish, quickly he turns and RUNS.

But Babyzilla is faster. He runs up from behind and

LEAPS onto R-MAN #3's back. R-MAN #2 begins to FIRE at

Babyzilla just as another one TACKLES HIM from the

side.

In moments, they are both devoured.

191 INT. TEAM ENTRANCE - FLOOR-LEVEL - SAME191

Audrey and Animal reach the entrance and race inside.

The main exit doors are locked from the outside. They

turn back just as...

THREE BABYZILLAS

appear in the team entrance doorway SNIFFING THE AIR.

Audrey SEES something, grabs Animal's wrist and pulls

him to one of the Locker room doors. It's open.

192 INT. LOCKER ROOM - CONTINUOUS192

Through the door we SEE the Babyzilla approaching as

Audrey and Animal leap inside, slamming the door behind

them. There is a sudden THUD against the door.

Animal rushes over to a large LOCKER CABINET and, with

all his strength, PUSHES it over, blocking the door.

AUDREY:

Great. Now what do we do?

193 INT. HALLWAYS - MID-LEVEL - SAME193

Nick and Raymond run up to another open doorway and look

inside.

NICK'S P.O.V. - AUDITORIUM

Dozens and dozens of eggs HATCHING. BABYZILLAS

everywhere begin to awaken and immediately begin to

devour all the fish. A Babyzilla appears only feet away

and turns and stares directly at us.

Quickly Raymond slams the doors shut as they both

retreat back into the hallway. Raymond SMASHES the glass

covering of a nearby FIRE HOSE and raps it around the

door handles, locking it closed.

Suddenly a loud THUD as something begins to BANG against

the locked doorway.

RAYMOND:

We've got to lock them inside while we

can.

Raymond tosses his cellular phone to Nick.

RAYMOND:

Contact the military and get them to

send a bomber to blow up this building

before these things escape.

NICK:

How do I do that?

RAYMOND:

555-7600. Tell them it's a code

dragonfly. They should get you

through.

Amazed by Raymond, Nick just stares at him.

RAYMOND:

What are you waiting for?

Nick snaps out of it and dials.

OPERATOR:

(filtered)

...all circuits are busy right now.

Please hang up and try again...

194 EXT. GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE - SAME - NIGHT194

A large and ANGRY mob has gathered at the roadblock to

the bridge. People, their cars packed with belongings,

are screaming to be let back into Manhattan. Horns honk

and the blockade guards are getting nervous.

195 INT. COMMAND TENT - SAME - NIGHT195

The Mayor marches over to Major Hicks who is consulting

with the Generals.

MAYOR:

Do you have any idea what's going on

out there? The phones are ringing off

the hook with people screaming to be

let back into the city.

MAJOR HICKS:

We're sending divers into the river

now to retrieve the body.

MAYOR:

That thing's dead. What the hell are

we waiting for?

Just then Elise rushes over to the Major.

ELSIE:

Major, if Nick is right, this could be

our last chance to do something about

it. We have to search for the nest,

now.

Major Hicks is torn. Finally he nods in agreement,

turning to another officer.

MAJOR HICKS:

Organize a search party. I want a

complete sweep of the entire city and

subway system.

MAYOR:

You don't have the authority to do

that.

The Major turns and cooly approaches the Mayor.

MAJOR HICKS:

Try and stop me.

Major Hicks smiles at the Mayor who exits, petulantly.

196 INT. AUDITORIUM - MADISON SQUARE GARDEN - DOORWAY -196

NIGHT:

We SEE dozens and dozens of Babyzillas fighting with

each other over the last of the fish. Suddenly this

image is SLAMMED SHUT as doors are closed and a FIRE

HOSE is rapped around door handles. We widen to

reveal...

Raymond fastening the hose around the door. Secured,

Raymond takes off running.

197 INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN - HALLWAY - SAME197

Nick is on the pay phone frantically dialing as Raymond

comes up. We hear a BUSY signal from the phone. Nick

dials again.

RAYMOND:

What'd they say?

NICK:

I can't get through. I don't know

what's wrong.

OPERATOR:

(filtered)

...all circuits are busy right now...

Jean-Claude and his partner arrive.

JEAN-CLAUDE

We've secured the doors on both

levels.

RAYMOND:

Where's Luc and Pierre?

JEAN-CLAUDE

They didn't make it.

RAYMOND:

(quickly recovering)

Nick, my men and I will hold them

here. You will have to go and get

help!

Nick nods in agreement and takes off down stairs. The

rest of the team SNAP TOGETHER their automatic rifles

and prepare for a fight.

198 INT. LOCKER ROOM - SAME198

Animal and Audrey are checking out every corner of the

room.

ANIMAL:

There's got to be another way out of

here.

Audrey climbs up onto a table and yanks out a grate

covering the air vent.

AUDREY:

Think we can fit up in there?

ANIMAL:

Only one way to find out.

He rushes over to her and helps her climb up inside.

199 INT. FLOOR-LEVEL HALLWAYS - SAME199

Jean-Claude sends Luc up ahead as they guard the

doorways. A loud THUMP is heard on the door they are

guarding. Each turns their weapon towards the doors.

Suddenly a portion of WALL BETWEEN THEM COLLAPSES.

A DOZEN BABYZILLAS leaping through the plaster. As they

spill out into the hall, Jean-Claude attempts to open

FIRE. One of the Babyzilla's is HIT.

His brothers ATTACK. Luc from the other side tries to

lay down cover fire but he's overrun by the herd.

200 INT. HALLWAY - MAIN LOBBY LEVEL - SAME200

Nick comes racing down the stairs and into the hallway.

Just then, he passes a locked door, BANGING on the other

side.

Just up ahead he can SEE the main lobby. But before he

can get there, a LOUD CRASH is heard as the locked door

in front of him SMASHES TO BITS as...

DOZENS OF BABYZILLAS

Flood into the main lobby only a few yards ahead. Nick

slams on the breaks and quietly tries to back away. He

turns to run the other directions when...

MORE BABYZILLA:

Come BURSTING THROUGH the locked door behind him. Pinned

down with no way out. Nick SEES the elevator nearby and

races over, slamming his hand against the button.

NICK:

Come on, come on.

The Babyzillas by the front door spot Nick. A couple of

them start to SNIFF THE AIR and start to move towards

him. Behind, the Babyzilla also catch the scent and

turn.

NICK:

This is not good.

Just then the elevator doors open, Nick LEAPS inside.

201 INT. ELEVATOR - SAME201

Nick frantically pushes the CLOSE DOOR button but it's

painfully slow to react.

NICK:

I hate these things!

Just then the Babyzillas appear. They're just about to

move in when the doors finally CLOSE. Nick breaths a

sigh of relief just as a loud THUD is heard as one of

them SLAMS against the door. It's too late, the elevator

begins to rise.

202 INT. AIR VENT - SAME - NIGHT202

Climbing upward, Animal reaches a plateau and crawls

into cross vent. He reaches back and grabs his camera.

Putting it down he turns back and helps Audrey up and

in.

ANIMAL:

You okay?

Out of breath, she nods. Animal takes the lead again,

pushing his camera in front of him. He reaches another

vent that looks down. He's about to pull it free when

something catches his eye.
