EXT./INT. BUCK'S TRUCK DRIVING IN DESERT(MOVING) - NIGHT

POV THROUGH WINDSHIELD:

The truck shines its headlight beams on an open patch of

prairie wasteland. We see dirt, rocks, plants, and an oil

derrick pumping up and down.

The Bride STOPS the truck.

Taking her flashlight with her, The Bride walks into the

headlight beams towards one rock on the ground in particular.

She lifts it off the ground, there's an X on it's underside.

She smiles. If the X hadn't been there, she would have taken

it as a sign that her vengeance quest was never meant to be.

But as it is there, it would appear that fortune has smiled

on The Bride and her bloody intentions.

She walks back to the truck, takes the shovel and the hand

pickaxe out from the flatbed, reaches into the truck cab and

CHANGES THE MUSIC TO A POUNDING HEAVY METAL ANTHEM.

CU The BRIDE'S COWBOY BOOTS

next to the X ROCK

IN TIME WITH The METAL, The Bride's cowboy boots count out

ten paces from the rock.

When the boots stop, the flashlight ENTERS THE SHOT

illuminating the spot, THEN...the shovel ENTERS, striking

deep in the unmarked earth.

EXT. TEXAS DESERT - NIGHT

Deep in the middle of F***-Knows Texas, lit by the headlights

of Buck's 4x4, The Bride digs a hole in the

ground......TILL...

She HITS SOMETHING HARD.

She gets down on her knees, hacking away at the dirt with the

hand pickaxe, till a large box covered in plastic is

revealed. She hoists it up out of the earth.

She rips off the plastic, revealing a large, green Army

footlocker, untouched by the condensation of being buried in

the ground for over five years. Flipping the two locks open,

she lifts the lid, placing the big camping flashlight on the

rim.

Unfolding a sleeping bag long-ways, she bought at the

department store. The Bride begins collecting the contents of

her buried treasure, and laying them on the sleeping bag.

We see her remove them from the footlocker, one by one.

The HEAVY METAL CONTINUES ON THE SOUNDTRACK.

pieces is a HIGH-POWERED, SCOPE-SIGHT RIFLE.

1 MANILA ENVELOPE.

She reaches in and pulls out a PHOTOCOPY OF HER SONOGRAM.

There on the page is a photocopy of her unborn baby girl. A

fierce grimness crosses her face as she places the sonogram

back in the envelope.

1 CLEAR ZIP-LOCK BAG containing a PHONY I.D. and BANK BOOK

both w/ the name "CANDY RALSTON" on them. Reaching back in

the locker she pulls out the final item,

1 SMALL KEY attached to a "DEALY VIPERS" KEY CHAIN.

She rolls up the weapons in the sleeping bag, and drives off.

The HEAVY METAL CONTINUES...

bank, all the weapons she needs, all the money she needs,

taking the first step on her bloody trail...

A RINKY DINK GRAPHIC OF A MAP OF JAPAN

The tiny figure of a black AIRPLANE flies over the map,

leaving a dotted-line trail behind it. We move into the black

airplane and DISSOLVE to

Chapter Three

"The MAN From OKINAWA"

FADE UP ON:

INT. SUSHI BAR(OKINAWA, JAPAN) - DAY

The ENTRANCE to a tiny sushi bar, covered by a Japanese

curtain....

SUBTITLE APPEARS:

"The City of

OKINAWA, JAPAN"

....The fabric is moved aside, and The Bride enters the shot,

and the tiny establishment.

The little fish and sake bar is the definition of the word

cozy. Besides The Bride, the only other person inside is The

SUSHI CHEF, who smiles at her behind the midget bar.

This Japanese man in his mid-fifties greets the tall, blonde

western girl with a turned-on-for-the-tourists affability.

SUSHI CHEF(ENGLISH)

English?

THE BRIDE(ENGLISH)

Almost -- American.

SUSHI CHEF(ENGLISH)

Ahhhh,...America, welcome...

Welcome... My English -- Very good.

The Bride smiles at this and walks further inside. She

doesn't come across as one of the world's deadliest

assassins, but instead as a sweet, slightly airheaded,

American tourist.

THE BRIDE(JAPANESE)

Domo.

The Sushi Chef gives an exaggerated look of surprise, and

says;

SUSHI CHEF(ENGLISH)

Oh, "Domo", Very good -- very good,

you speak Japanese?

THE BRIDE(ENGLISH)

Nooo, just a few words I learned

since yesterday. - May I sit at the

bar?

SUSHI CHEF(ENGLISH)

Sure sure sure - sit. What other

words did you learn - excuse me --

The Sushi Chef YELLS IN JAPANESE, to someone OFFSCREEN.

The Bride thinks the restaurant so small it's almost hard to

imagine there could be a back room to it.

Before getting a response from whoever it was he was yelling

to a moment ago, The Sushi Chef turns back to The Bride.

SUSHI CHEF(ENGLISH)

-- What other Japanese you learn?

The Bride puts on a thinking face.

THE BRIDE(ENGLISH)

Oh...let's see..."Arigato."

SUSHI CHEF(ENGLISH)

"Arigato"...Very good.

THE BRIDE(JAPANESE)

..."Ah-So"...

SUSHI CHEF(JAPANESE)

"Ah-So!" You know what "Ah-So"

means�

THE BRIDE:

"I See."

SUSHI CHEF:

I see - Very good.

THE BRIDE:

I already said "Domo", right?

SUSHI CHEF(ENGLISH)

Yes.

THE BRIDE(JAPANESE)

"Kon-netie-wa."

The Sushi Chef goes "Oooh" like he's just discovered the

answer to a mystery.

SUSHI CHEF(ENGLISH)

..."Kon-nichi-wa"...repeat please.

THE BRIDE(JAPANESE)

"Kon-nichi-wa?"

Saying with surprise and admiration;
