Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 Page #13

Ramos CLIMBS OUT OF THE WATER and continues his chase.

INT. LA REVE BACKSTAGE PROP AREA - CONTINUOUS9393Blart makes his way through the PROP AREA. Several La Reve

PROPS line the walls and sit on tables.

Suddenly, Blart sees Ramos enter the area... GUN DRAWN.

Blart hides behind one of the TABLES.

As Ramos approaches, his wet shoes SQUEAK. Blart spies a

STAGE LAMP plugged into an EXTENSION CORD. Blart grabs the

lamp, and yanks out the extension cord.

Hearing Blart, Ramos slowly approaches the table, but his

wet, squeaky shoes allow Blart to maneuver AWAY FROM HIM.

Blart spies a fancy BOW from the show hanging on the wall.

He finds an ARROW, but they are just plastic props.

RAMOSC’monman. I know you’re in here.

From behind the bar, Blart THROWS the stage lamp BULB across

the room.

Blart then pulls out his MECHANICAL FORK and begins to BUILD

something. Ramos moves towards the sound of the exploded

light bulb.

Blart JAMS the mechanical fork into the extension cord.

Ramos is almost to where the light bulb landed, when Blart

RISES UP BEHIND HIM. Ramos turns.

RAMOS (CONT’D)

There you are.

Blart holds up the La Reve bow...

RAMOS (CONT’D)

Aww, isn’t that adorable.

Blart takes the mechanical fork and places it in the bow.

BLARTIt looks like we’ve come to a fork

in the road.

RAMOSWhat?

Blart SHOOTS THE BOW and the extension cord TETHERS OUT.

When the metal fork embeds itself into Ramos, who is still

soaking wet, SPARKS FLY.

Hit with 1000 volts, Ramos is electrocuted and passes out.

Blart goes to Ramos and notices a tiny FIRE on his coat.

BLARTOoof... a little too much club.

Blart quickly puts it out and LISTENS to Ramos’s heart,

relieved to find he’s still alive.

Thinking quickly, Blart pulls out the consumer WALKIETALKIE

(the one he tried to give Maya) from his utility belt.

He CLICKS IT ON, JAMS it into one of the POCKETS in Ramos’

cargo pants. Blart looks up and notices...

A giant theatrical RITTER FAN. Blart gets and idea.

CUT TO:

Blart being BLOWN DRY by the huge fan. He stands there

holding his utility belt. He then TURNS to dry his back.

EXT. ENCORE ESPLANADE - MOMENTS LATER9494Blart exits the STAGE DOOR as hisWALKIETALKIE crackles to

life.

VOICE (O.S.)

Ramos? It’s Henk. Where are you?

Blart listens intently.

INTERCUT:
Ramos, waking up, rips out his ear piece and talks

into his own radio, unaware that Blart has him bugged.

RAMOSLe Reve theater. Some cop may be

onto us.

HENKWait. Big guy, mustache, snug

pants?

RAMOSThat’s the one.

HENKThought he was dead. He’s like a

cockroach.

RAMOSWhere are you?

HENKMoving the Botero.

Blart is still standing directly in front of the PAINTING.

BLART (CONT’D)

Botero? Who are these guys?

Blart is really thinking now, trying to put it all together.

A Wynn HOTEL SECURITY GUARD walks by. Freaked, Blart turns

away. He is now ACTUALLY LEANING with one hand on the

painting.

BLART (CONT’D)

Think Paul! For Maya!

Blart hears Ramos huffing and puffing, muttering to himself.

RAMOS (O.S.)

All this for stupid art.

BLARTWho is Art?

In frustration Blart POUNDS HIS FIST on the painting. He

finally, looks up and it all makes sense.

BLART (CONT’D)

Widdershins! It’s about theart.

They’re stealing art from the

hotel.

Blart KEYS THE CONSUMER WALKIEtalkie. Tries his best to

disguise his voice.

BLART (CONT’D)

Hey Ramos it’s Henk. You got the

new location, right?

Confused, Ramos thinks Henkis calling him on his radio.

RAMOSHenk, you didn’t tell me where you

are.

HENKWe’re in the casino. Stop calling

me. Vincent wants you. Out!

BLART(wheels turning)

Let the games begin.

Blart heads off.

and keys his radio.

HENKFound our friend.

VINCENT (O.S.)

Excellent. Have Nadia and Carlos

Blart now runs IN BETWEEN the slot machines at a quick pace,

when suddenly... Blart slams into a PLATE GLASS WINDOW and

bounces off.

BLAM!!! The window vibrates... WUBBLEWUBBLE WUBBLE.9696BLART(re: window)

How ‘bout a couple flower stickers

or a butterfly?!

Blart springs to his feet and runs off.

Reacting to the crash, Henkchanges directions, raising his

silenced gun.

EXT. WYNN - GARDEN OF CONTEMPLATION - CONTINUOUS9999Blart enters the garden and once again locks eyes with the

African crane. Blart gets in a CRAZY stance, firing the

crane up. Suddenly, the door opens and Henkenters, unaware.

the door and locks it behind him.

We hear HenkBEING ATTACKED from the other side! Blart

attaches his own “old school” MICROPHONE to Henk’sRADIO and

keys it.

BLART(in his “Henk” voice)

Hey Vincent. It’s Henk. Where are

you?

VINCENT (O.S.)

Waiting for the Van Gogh. Where

are you?

BLART(still in “Henk” voice)

On my way.

(then, to himself)

I’m coming Maya.

INT. WYNN ELEVATOR BANK - NIGHT 101101Blart waits for the elevator. The elevator doors OPEN and he

steps in. He says to nobody in particular:

BLARTCan you press one please?

We widen to reveal that Blart is in the elevator with the

entire MINI KISS band. They all stand there awkwardly for

several beats.

BLART (CONT’D)

Good crowd tonight?

MINI-ACE FREHLEYOh yeah.

A beat, then:

BLARTYou guys play “Beth”?

MINI-PAUL STANLEYNo.

know what to say...

BLARTGreat hair.

exits, leaving the band in the elevator.

She SHATTERS the globe on the coffee table and takes it

apart.

She holds up a piece of COPPER WIRING and needles it into the
