296. The Secret Lives of Girls - Leslie







  • FADE IN:

  • EXT. HIGHWAY TUNNEL - DAY

  • KERI-LEE between the lanes of traffic, walking right on the yellow dividing lines of traffic.

  • She is dressed in a chic pink dress and holds a massive semi-automatic rifle in one hand.

  • Cars honk as they pass her, her dress fluttering in their wake.

  • She pays them no mind and strides towards her goal; she is a lean, mean, pink machine.

  • Keri-Lee gets to the center of the tunnel and turns around.

  • She raises the weapon to her cheek and begins firing at a monstrous blue Hummer barreling towards her.

  • Bullets tear into its tires and the vehicle skids to a stop.

  • Cars slam into it and dodge it on both sides.

  • They begin to slow as they are blocked in.

  • Guards in dark suits pile out and she engages them, ducking behind cars and racing closer to them.

  • One by one they fall, until none are left.

  • She walks to the window where ONE LAST MAN sits, awaiting his fate.

  • She leans up against the window and whispers menacingly.

  • KERI-LEE
  • You go back and tell them not to ever mess with me again-you leave my people alone. This is my turf.

  • The man gulps, nodding.

  • She moves to the back, throwing open the door.

  • A YOUNG WOMAN and her BABY are tied up in the back; the baby's bassinet fastened to the metal floor.

  • Keri-Lee makes quick work of the rope and carries the baby out into the tunnel.

  • KERI-LEE
  • You're safe now.

  • INT. MEL'S KINDERGARTEN - DAY

  • FIVE YEAR-OLD KERI-LEE sits by a large toy box cradling a plastic baby doll in her arms.

  • KERI-LEE
  • It's ok, it's ok, you're safe now.

  • She smiles to herself, and continues whispering to her toys.

  • FADE TO BLACK.

For the most part... our lives really aren't that secret.
