Script
SCHOOL YARD, LUNCH BREAK
ERIK,14, is seated at the entrance of the cafeteria along with NOEL, 13. Students of all ages are outside, talking or eating. JANE, 18, hot as they come, is talking with her friends a few steps away from Erik and Noel. Erik calls out to her.
"Hey, Jane," Erik softly calls out. The girl turns around and witnesses Erik perform a color change. Upon seeing this, she starts jolting uncontrollably left and right while mumbling and looking around for help.
"Scored." Erik grims.
"Why do you pick on people? Shouldn't you use your power for something else, like, saving the world?" his buddy Noel asks him.
"Mack!" Erik yells after a jock of about 6 foot 5. This turns only to witness Erik perform a quick torn and restored card effect. Suddenly the jock starts confessing to everyone his love, his regret for having been an asshole, his most secret hobby (reading 50 Shades of Grey).
"This is much more fun." confesses Erik. "Take a look at that one." Erik points at a short haired kid that is standing with his back facing him. "Timmy. Yo, Tim." Erik starts flourishing, in preparation for a 4 card production, and when Timmy turns, Erik produces the four aces. BUT,
Timmy is holding a mirror.
CLOSE UP on Erik's shocked face. CLOSE UP on Timmy's big grin. CLOSE UP AGAIN on Erik, then pan out to reveal that Erik is surrounded by 4 stunning babes. Erik's face turns from shock to a grin.
"Owwww, yeah. Didn't expect that, did you?" Timmy picks up his bag and shuffles away. "Scored. 3-0. And it's just morning."
The camera zooms out slowly on the school. We hear Noel ask Erik, "So, what do we do with the women now?" After a pause, Erik replies. "Lose them back in the deck."
Time: 1-2 minutes.
