MARGALO:

He's in the next room.

He starts to run. Margalo through the bars, bites histail.

SNOWBELL:

No! He's got me! Please! Don't

hurt me! Kill the bird, not me!

He jerks himself free, knocking over the cage andaccidentally busting it open.

MARGALO:

Come on, let's get out of here!

SNOWBELL:

How? I can't just fly out ofhere. These are whiskers, not

wings. I -

FALCON (O.S.)

Margalo?

Snowbell squeals in fright.

SNOWBELL:

I'm gonna be Falcon poop!!

He runs and jumps into a paint can. Falcon appears. He

sees the broken cage and sees Margalo.

FALCON:

Who broke that cage?

The CAN TREMBLES.

MARGALO:

Me. Just me. There's no one else

here.

Falcon scans the roof until he sees Snowbell's tail

sticking out of the paint car. Margalo steps in front ofthe can.

Falcon walks over to the CAN which CONTINUES TO TREMBLE.

He kicks it. It rolls to the edge of the roof.

MARGALO:

Snowbell, get out!

SNOWBELL:

(muffled)

Can't... stuck... too fat.

The can teeters on the edge of the roof and stops. Then

Falcon picks up a seed and spits it at the can. The can

goes over the side.

Snowbell, in the can, plummets. Snowbell screams -- then

suddenly stops plummeting and starts to turn end-over-endrapidly. The handle of the paint can has been caught onthe end of a bare horizontal flagpole and spins rapidlymany times until it stops. It hangs precariously near theend of the pole.

SNOWBELL:

Could somebody please take me homenow?

79 EXT. ROOFTOP 79

Margalo and Falcon.

MARGALO:

I'm leaving here, Falcon! And I'm

never going to have anything to dowith you again as long as I live!

He moves with incredible quickness and grabs her.

FALCON:

Well, then that isn't going to bevery long!

He raises his claws towards Margalo's throat. She closes

her eyes.

At that very instant the PUTT-PUTT of Stuart's PLANE canbe heard. Falcon spins around as the plane shoots aroundfrom the side of the spire aiming right for Falcon's face.

They all seem stunned to see the other. Falcon jumpsback onto the terrace. Margalo cries when she sees him.

MARGALO:

Stuart?!

STUART:

Hang on, I'm coming.

MARGALO:

No! Stuart! Get out of here!

FALCON:

(to Margalo)

I'll deal with you when I'mfinished with him.

(CONTINUED)

79 CONTINUED:

Falcon flings Margalo back on to the roof knocking herunconscious.

Stuart opens the bomb bay doors and rusty bolts rain downon Falcon. Falcon rises into the air.

He spreads his wings, SCREECHES, his eyes turn red, andhis talons actually glisten. He fills the entire window

of the plane.

FALCON:

You're mine now, you littlerodent.

Stuart gasps and grabs for the servo. Suddenly the planedoes a flip/flop backwards somersault and tumbles rapidlytoward the traffic below. It is an unexpected maneuverand takes both Falcon and Stuart by surprise.

STUART:

How did I do that?

Stuart looks behind him and sees Falcon back in the sky,

gaining on him.

Stuart's plane is headed straight for the soccer field.

Falcon is in pursuit.

There is a utility shed alongside the field. Stuart

flying low seems to be headed straight for it. Just as

he's about to hit him, a park attendant, carrying a rake,

comes out of the shed. While the shed door is open,

Stuart flies in and a moment later flies out a window on

the opposite side of the shed.

ALL KIDS:

(in unison)

Whoa!

Falcon heads for the shed. The park attendant doesn't seehim. Calmly he shuts the door and Falcon cannot stop intime to avoid it. He slams into the door, hard.

eyes.
