Meanwhile, agent Cherry Nation, deep in the lair, searches desperately for her kidnapped children ...



INT. HONEY’S UNDERGROUND LAIR - TUNNEL - NIGHT
Dimly lit. Water drips down the cement walls.

Honey and Monsterburg RUN down the tunnel.
They make a turn. He slows down suddenly,
out of breath. Wheezing.

MONSTERBURG
Can’t go so -- fast.

HONEY
C’mon, you fucking wimp.
We gotta MOVE.

He strains to catch up.
Picks up speed.

MONSTERBURG
How much -- farther?

HONEY
We’re almost there. MOVE IT.

FURTHER ON DOWN THE TUNNEL
April HOT-FOOTS IT at lightning speed.
High heels CLOMPING.

IN THE THEATER
Streams of COMMANDOS storm down the basement steps.

INT. HONEY’S UNDERGROUND LAIR - CORRIDOR - AT THAT MOMENT
Cherry walks down the hallway.
Checking each door she goes by.
She opens one. Looks in.

CHERRY
Huh. Nice cafeteria --

IN THE TUNNEL
Honey and Monsterburg arrive at a doorway.
She opens it --

To reveal a staircase going up.

MONSTERBURG
Ohmigod. Fucking STAIRS?

HONEY
Move it or lose, bad boy.

MONSTERBURG
Okay, okay --

And they start RUNNING up the stairs.

FURTHER ON DOWN THE TUNNEL
April keeps sprinting. Takes the turn.
Continues on. Starts the uphill ascent.
Stops. KICKS off her heels --

APRIL
Alas, poor Jimmy Choo, I knew him well --

And TAKES OFF in her bare feet.

INT. HONEY’S UNDERGROUND LAIR - CORRIDOR - AT THAT MOMENT
Cherry continues down the corridor.
Checking the doors.
She looks in a window.

CHERRY
Work out room? What a set-up --

She goes to the next one.
The sign reads INFIRMARY.
She tries the door. It opens.
She creeps in --

INT. HONEY’S UNDERGROUND LAIR - INFIRMARY - CONTINUOUS
Brightly lit. Antiseptic. A row of hospital beds.
Empty. An open door at the other end of the room,
from which we can faintly hear the sounds of a TV.

Cherry carefully tip-toes toward the doorway.

INT. TUNNEL - AT THAT MOMENT
April gets to the door that
Honey and Monsterburg went through.
She YANKS it open. Looks up.

APRIL
Of course. Stairs --

And she RACES up the steps.

INT. STAIRCASE - AT THAT MOMENT
Honey and Monsterburg get to the top of the steps.
Pause a moment. Breathing heavily.

Honey goes to the door.
Puts her hand on the knob.
Monsterburg stares, wild-eyed.

MONSTERBURG
So where does THIS go?

HONEY
Used to be a shitty department store --
(beat)
Now it’s the Kodak Theater.

She YANKS the door open --
revealing a BRICK WALL.

HONEY
Goddammit.
(to Monsterburg)
You don’t happen to have
any explosives on you, do you?

MONSTERBURG
(feels it with his hand)
Wait a minute. It’s not real.

He KICKS it.
The ‘wall’ falls over backwards.

MONSTERBURG
(smiles)
Scenery --

HONEY
'All the world’s a stage,' huh. C’mon --

And they RACE through the door.
