Star Wars: The Force Awakens Page #4

REY (CONT'D)

NOMA.

The Teedo barks a sort of "AHHHHH!" (As if to say, "GO TO

HELL!"), Then heads off on his beast. This prompts BB-8 to

start BEEP-YELLING at the departing bully, provocatively.

REY (CONT'D)

Shhhh.

BB-8 quiets instantly. The two watch the Teedo head off.

Finally, BB-8 BEEPS a question. She KNEELS to him.

REY (CONT'D)

That's just Teedo. Wants you for

parts. He has no respect for anyone.

Your antenna's bent.

(considers BB-8 for

the first time,

STRAIGHTENS THE:

ANTENNA)

Where do you come from?

(BB-8 BEEPS)

Classified. Really? Me too. Big

secret.

(points to horizon)

Niima Outpost is that way, stay off

Kelvin Ridge.

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

REY (CONT'D)

Keep away from the Sinking Fields in

the north, you'll drown in the sand.

(stands, heads off)

BB-8 starts after her, BEEPS. She turns sharply, he stops.

REY (CONT'D)

Don't follow me. Town is that way.

(he BEEPS again)

No!

She heads off again. Finally he BEEPS to her -- something

SWEET this time. That he is alone, scared, has no one else.

This makes her stop. She turns and looks at him. Not liking

him. But a gesture of her head says, reluctantly, "Come

on." BB-8 quickly moves to her. They head off together.

REY (CONT'D)

In the morning, you go.

(HE BEEPS)

You're welcome.

The two disappear behind a dune.

EXT. STAR DESTROYER - DAY

Three TIE fighters head to the massive ship high above Jakku.

INT. STAR DESTROYER HOLDING CELL - DAY

POE, shackled to a chair, BEATEN, wakes up.

KYLO REN:

I had no idea we had the best pilot

in the Resistance on board.

Comfortable?

Through battered lips:

POE:

Not really.

KYLO REN:

I'm impressed. No one has been able

to get out of you what you did with

the map.

POE:

Might wanna rethink your technique.

Kylo Ren says nothing, reaches out to him. Poe flinches in

the chair as Kylo Ren reaches for his face, not touching

him. Poe is soon in agony, remains in horrible silence --

KYLO REN:

Where is it?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

POE:

The Resistance will not be intimidated

by you.

KYLO REN:

Where... is it?

Poe can't take it -- he BEGINS TO SCREAM and we CUT TO:

INT. STAR DESTROYER CORRIDOR - DAY

WHOOOSH! The cell door SLIDES UP. Kylo Ren exits, fierce,

confronts GENERAL HUX (34, scary) who awaits him:

KYLO REN:

It's in a droid. A BB unit.

GENERAL HUX:

Well then. If it's on Jakku, we'll

soon have it.

KYLO REN:

I leave that to you.

EXT. NIIMA OUTPOST - DAY

BB-8 is dropped to the sand.

REY:

Don't give up. He still might show

up. Whoever it is you're waiting

for. Classified. I know all about

waiting.

BB-8 BEEPTALKS a question.

REY (CONT'D)

For my family. They'll be back.

One day. Come on.

She tries to force a smile, but can't, really. She heads

off. BB-8 BEEPS... then heads after her.

INT. NIIMA TRADING STRUCTURE - DAY

Rey stands with BB-8 in front of Unkar Plutt, at his window.

He reviews her goods. He glances quickly at BB-8.

UNKAR:

These five pieces are worth... Let

me see here... One half portion.

REY:

(OBJECTS)

Last week they were a half portion

each.

She hates him. He leans forward.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

UNKAR:

What about the droid?

REY:

What about him?

UNKAR:

I'll pay for him.

BB-8 doesn't like this at all. Rey is awkward, but curious.

UNKAR (CONT'D)

Sixty portions.

CLOSE ON HER. Stunned. Literally hungry for this amount of

food, her stomach practically rumbles.

BB-8 sees her interest and BEEPS furiously, not liking this

conversation at all.

She looks at Unkar. Looks down at BB-8. Considers it all.

Finally, she hears herself say:

REY:

Actually... the droid's not for sale.

(TO BB-8)

Come on.

Unkar furious. Rey, then BB-8, head out. Recovering, Unkar

watches her go with dark eyes. He picks up a communicator:

UNKAR:

Follow the girl and get that droid.

He SLAMS the service window door SHUT.

INT. STAR DESTROYER HOLDING CELL - DAY

The cell door WHOOSHES OPEN -- a STORMTROOPER enters. Poe

remains shackled, worse for wear. A TROOPER GUARD here.

STORMTROOPER:

Ren wants the prisoner.

TIGHT ON POE, in pain, drained, as the Guard unshackles him.

INT. STAR DESTROYER CORRIDOR - DAY

An exhausted, handcuffed Poe is walked down the corridor by

the Stormtrooper, who holds a blaster at Poe's body.

STORMTROOPER:

Turn here.

Poe turns into a narrow passageway --

INT. STAR DESTROYER NARROW PASSAGEWAY - DAY
