Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 Page #8

ROBINSONThey’ve already upgraded the lock

on Mr. Van Gogh to the dual

control.

VINCENTI thought you said the upgrades

weren’t scheduled until tomorrow?

ROBINSONThat’s what the security emailssaid. I have a guy on the inside

who was supposed to alert me if the

schedule changed.

VINCENTOptions?

ROBINSONWe disable both controls at the

exact same moment with a thermal

lance. It can be done, but it’ll

have to be later tonight when no

one’s around. It pushes us back.

Vincent chews on that for a beat...

VINCENTOkay. Let’s switch out all the

other pieces before theyget

upgraded then we’ll focus on the

Van Gogh. It’s number one on our

buyer’s list. Not leaving without

it.

Robinson turns to the group.

ROBINSONOkay. We’re going now.

(points to his phone)

The security shift changes are

updated once an hour. Make sure

you check them carefully, beforeyou commit to the switches.

(looks to Nadia.)

We’re leaving the Van Gogh for

last, so Nadia will coordinate the

new order.

Vincent then chimes in.

VINCENTThey say Las Vegas has the best

security in the world... we’re

about to find out.

He then turns to Robinson.

Bring me your “guy on the inside.”

INT. ENCORE CONVENTION HALL "F" / GREEN ROOM - LATER4141Blart PACES in between Saul Gundermutt (now in his SECURITY

UNIFORM) and Saul’s wife. They stand over a PASSED OUT, Nick

Panero.

SAULGUNDERMUTTHe’s blotto. Sortalike someone’s

motherlast Columbus day.

GUNDERMUTT’S WIFEStop. You know she has a

condition.

(then)

And... she’s very patriotic.

SAUL GUNDERMUTTWell, there’s no way Panerocan go

on. We need a leader right now who

can step up, take the reigns and

inspire us.

BLART(nervous, but proud)

I understand.

SAUL GUNDERMUTTI tried contacting Officer Ferguson

from TSA, but he must have his

phone off. So my hands are tied.

(no choice)

Can youstep up to the plate and

save us, Paul?

After a beat.

BLARTI’m gonnaneed my dress whites.

EXT. ENCORE BEACH CLUB POOL - NIGHT4242Still upset, Maya sits on a LOUNGE CHAIR. Suddenly her phone

RINGS. She looks down...

It reads:
“DAD CALLING.”

She thinks for a second and then lets it go to VOICEMAIL.

Her phone BUZZES again. This time it’s a text from Lane.

TEXT/PICTURE:
A sign “Suite 6303” The text reads... “Open in

case of boredom!”

head in. She carries Blart’s DRESS UNIFORM on a hanger.

DIVINAYour uniform, as requested Officer

Blart.

Distracted and nervous, Blart takes the hanger from her.

BLARTThank you.

Blart vacantly reaches into his pocket and THROWS A TIP into

her hands. She just looks down at the MONEY.

DIVINAI’m the general manager of this

resort, so as much as I

appreciate...

(counts)

...thedollar nineteen. I don’t

take tips.

(beat)

I don’t normally deliver dry

cleaning, either... but I just

wanted to clarify that I was not

making advances toward you earlier,

nor would I ever.

BLARTI understand that you have no

control over this. Integrity is a

bewitching gumbo. But I’m

preparing internally to give the

keynote... so if you don’t mind?

DIVINALook, this is crazy -- I’m actually

dating someone.

BLARTPlease, Ma’am. I practically

invented the fake boyfriend thing.

DIVINAWhat?

(then)

Listen, you have no bearing on my

life whatsoever!

BLARTYour lip is sweating.

Blart shuts the door and Divina checks her lip... SWEAT.

LANE (CONT’D)

You okay?

Maya quickly covers.

MAYAYeah. Everything’s great.

LANEGood. I’ll be right back. I got

something for you.

Maya watches Lane as he walks off. She then looks at her

phone. It reads:
5 MISSED CALLS DAD.

She pushes her VOICEMAILand tries to listen to the message,

but it’s too loud.

Maya negotiates through the party to the bathroom but it’s

locked. As she looks for another one...

INT. ENCORE CONVENTION HALL "F" - MOMENTS LATER5151Saul stands at a podium on a riser set up in the room.

Behind him is the SECURITY OFFICERS TRADE ASSOCIATION EXPO

banner and the riser is flanked by several banners with

pictures of SECURITY GUARDS from the past.

SAUL GUNDERMUTTLadies and Gentlemen, I know you

all came here to see NickPanerogive the keynote speech. However,

due to circumstances beyond our

control, we’ve had to bring in a

different speaker tonight.

GROANS from the audience. Blart reacts.

SAUL GUNDERMUTT (CONT’D)

I know, I’m disappointed too.

Blart is losing confidence fast.

SAUL GUNDERMUTT (CONT’D)

So instead, how about a warm Expo

welcome for, Officer Paul Blart!

There’s only a smattering of APPLAUSE. Blart straightens his

coat and walks nervously to the podium.

BLARTThank you, Officer Gundermutt.

Blart composes himself, dabbing his brow with a POCKET HANKY.

Eduardo slides into the back of the hall.

BLART (CONT’D)

Is it warm in here, or am I

ordering my next uniform from

Rochester, Big & Humid?

This gets a LAUGH. Blart slowly begins to dig himself out.

He acknowledges the photos of the past security guards.

BLART (CONT’D)

I am honored to be in the presence

of the greats from the past. Just

looking at these faces reminds me

of the question so many people ask,

“Why do we do it?” Why walk a

beat, knowing that on a typical

day, you’ll get zero pats on the

back...

ANGLE ON:
OFFICERS nodding in agreement.

BLART (CONT’D)

... butyou know what you will get?

A whole lottaridicule.

We see Divina has entered and finds Eduardo’s side.

DIVINA(whispering to Eduardo)

Why are you here?

He just shrugs and lies, whispering...

EDUARDOI thought Mini-Kiss was playing.

(then)

Why are you here?

INT. ENCORE SALON SUITE - CONTINUOUS5252Maya is looking around. She sees a door. Maya goes in and

finds a bathroom.

INT. ENCORE CONVENTION HALL “F” - CONTINUOUS5353BLARTI get it, we’re easy targets --

People call us heavy, skinny,

lumpy, they point out our bad

skin... but that’s okay, confidence

is like a building, don't let

others knock you down. Use the

bricks they throw to build yourself

up.

ANGLE ON:
Gino NODS. Blart now has the room in the palm of

his hand.
