620 SHOT OF THE MCP 620

We see something materializing in the apex of the energy cones. It

is dressed like Dumont was at the I/0 Tower, an old man in the

padded altar costume, spinning, slowly, finally stopping. We see the

wizened, wrinkled face of the true MCP for just a few seconds, and

see that he is furiosly TYPING on an old Remington portable. Then he

too dissolves into liquid energy, and disappears. The cylinder of

the MCP glows brighter and brighter.

621 YORI AND THE BIT621

on the bridge of the carrier looking down at this.

622 HER POV622

A fountain of energy explodes upwards like a Supernova, right at the

camera.

623 YORI 623

shielding her face from the power of the blast.

624 LONG SHOT 624

The nova of energy bursting upwards. We start to see the glow

returning to the surrounding domains, as the nova dissipates,

leaving the sky full of sparkling stars.

625 YORI 625

still shielding her eyes, but looking out in wonder at the domains

regaining their life.

626 HER POV626

one domain after another, scattered around the horizon, glows

brightly, increasing.

627 LONG SHOT 627

The carrier starts to descend.

CUT TO:

628 EXT. CPU MESA - TRON 628

Leading Dumont out of the chamber with several of the other guardian

programs that were saved. He looks up, spots the carrier descending.

629 SHOT OF CARRIER 629

Basically all that is left of it is the bridge, with only a very

faint image of the rest of the body. It lands on the mesa.

630 EXT. CPU MESA 630

Tron catches Yori as she jumps down. He hugs her close and looks at

her, about to speak. But she reaches up and presses her lips to his

in a quick, intense kiss. Then pulls back.

TRON:

(laughing)

Nice...

YORI:

It's something Users do.

TRON:

Where's Flynn?

He looks up at the bridge.

YORI:

He's gone. He went into the beam.

He saved you. He saved all of us.

Tron stares at her, holding onto her shoulders. Then he looks up at

the sky, thoughtfully. She also looks up.

DUMONT:

He really was a User...

BIT:

(quietly, sadly)

Yes...

631 LONG SHOT FROM OVERHEAD 631

of the landscape, glowing again with new life, every I/O Tower a

shining beacon, a symbol of the new found freedom of communication.

DISSOLVE TO:

632 RACING OVER THE CIRCUIT PATTERN632

and returning to the real world.

633 THE REAL WORLD - LASER LAB633

CLOSE on the business end of the huge laser in ICOM's lab. A bright

blast of LIGHT shoots out of the mechanism.

WIDEN TO REVEAL the laser pouring its light onto the floor, near the

chair where Flynn was sitting when he was digitized.

Slowly -- in a reverse of his disappearance -- Flynn's BODY takes

shape on the floor. As the laser shuts off, he is revealed intact --

back in his real-world body and clothes... and as bewildered to find

himself here as he was when he first arrived in the electronic world.

He studies his hands -- and SEES that they're now nonluminescent

flesh and blood.

He looks out the window and SEES that it's shortly past dawn, with

weak sunlight coming in.

And, at the SOUND of light MACHINERY at work, he turns to look at

Lora's computer terminal, where a hard-copy computer PRINTER is

coughing out a long document on wide blue paper.

Flynn gets up off the floor, goes over to the printer, and READS the

document. As he does so, his eyes widen, and a SMILE appears on his

face.

The printer finishes its run, clicks patiently. Flynn, exuberant,

tears the printout from the machine and rushes to the door with it.

CUT TO:

634 INT. ALAN'S OFFICE - ALAN AND LORA 634

Bleary but excited, they gaze happily at the information on Alan's

CRT screen as Flynn bursts into the room, waving his printout.

FLYNN:

Hey -- you guys

Before he can say anything more, Alan turns to greet him, holding up

a seven-inch computer software FLOPPY DISK in its cardboard sleeve.

ALAN:

Flynn! I made it. I worked out some

new codes for Tron, put 'em on a disk,

and -- it's running.

FLYNN:

I know, I met him.

Alan and Lora look at him -- the same sort of mystified look he got

from Tron and Yori in the other world. He checks himself.

FLYNN (CONT.)

I mean, I saw it read-up -

hey, look at this.

He shows them the printout. It takes Alan and Lora a few seconds of

reading it to figure out its significance.

ALAN:

Your old files -- ?

FLYNN:

And Dillinger's instructions to

divert them -- it's all there -

look, even his home phone number,

when he logged on.

ALAN:

Oh, that is beautiful. You've got

the goods...

Flynn folds up the printout, puts it in his pocket. Alan and Lora

get up, stretch, start wandering slowly toward the door with him.

FLYNN:

You're telling me...

As they talk, CAMERA PANS over to Alan's color CRT SCREEN and HOLDS

on it.

635 CRT SCREEN 635

The lines of printed information that had filled it up wipe off, and

are replaced by a number of shapes very much like the ones in a

typical video game:

A BLUE CYLINDER, poised on a BLUE MESA -- resembling the MCP in the

electronic world. And THREE YELLOW ROCKETS. They move randomly at

first, then converge on the blue figure from three different

directions.

FLYNN (V.0.)

you have any idea how much I can sue these

jokers for?

LORA (V.0.)

Well, just don't forget your old friends

when you're rich and famous.

FLYNN (V.0.)

Are you kidding? You guys'll he running

this joint by then...

ALAN (V.O.)

Your friend Dillinger sure won't...

The yellow rockets all hit the blue mesa at the same time. It

EXPLODES in typical video-game fashion -- radiating lines of blue

SPARKS. The yellow rockets fly away from it and form a vertical

formation, heading together toward the side of the CRT screen as we

HEAR Flynn, Lora, and Alan heading for the door.

FLYNN (V.O.)

Hey, you know anybody who wants to

get hold of some video games... cheap?

LORA (V.O.)

You're getting out of the business?

ALAN (V.O.)

Shouldn't you wait till your

lawsuit's settled?

FLYNN (V.0.)

Nah...I decided...I've had enough of

video games to last me a good long

time. I feel like gettin' into some

real life...

at the SOUND of the DOOR to Alan's office closing O.S., the three

yellow rockets leave the CRT screen, sailing off its left-hand edge.

HOLD a moment on the exploded blue figure and

BLACK OUT.
