172. Leap - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. SKYSCRAPER OFFICE - DAY


• JOE sits at his desk, fixated on his computer screen.


• The phone rings and rings again but he continues to scan the screen, zoned out.


• He snaps out of it and grabs the phone.


• JOE
• Hello, Joe Stanley at...


• AMY (VO)
• Jump.


• The phone clicks as she hangs up.


• JOE
• Amy? Amy? Is that you? What the heck?


• He turns back to his computer and sees that the webpage he has been surfing has disappeared.


• JOE
• Come on...


• He refreshes the page and a single word loads onto the page, "Jump."


• He shakes his head and refreshes again.


• The old page reappears.


• JOE
• Stupid hackers.


• He continues reading, then stops to write down some information.


• He looks for some scrap paper and grabs a pad of sticky notes.


• He looks down and sees a note written to him, "You have to jump now, trust me."


• JOE
• It's her handwriting...


• He shakes his head and puts the pad down, then picks it up again and studies the note.


• JOE
• Nahhhh, she's just playing a practical joke.


• Worriedly, he looks out the window.


• It's completely placid.


• He looks back at the note, then the computer screen, then the phone.


• JOE
• She must have a reason.


• Joe straightens, walks to the window, passing a backpack on the floor by the window.


• He opens it and walks onto the ledge, takes a deep breath, and leaps.


• We return to the backpack which has a note taped to the side.


• "Dear Joe, use this when you finally listen, (the building's about to collapse) you'll need it." - Amy


• The room starts shaking and chunks of concrete begin smashing downwards to the floor.


• The backpack sits, unharmed for a moment, by the window, then it falls away through a newly formed hole in the floor.


• FADE TO BLACK.
