Scene 2.19 - Surprise!
EST: EXT. Gymnasium - Night.
(A tank tread rolls, turns and stops. The Nazi is standing with a platoon of zombies in formation. This is no normal formation. It's like an organism, a swarm of bees or a school of fish or a flock of birds -- many individuals moving as one -- comprised of townsfolk, farmers, soldiers, motel guests and funeral home patrons. The SS Nazi is standing in a open-top jeep, holding a riding crop. He gives his orders in German, and the platoon stops marching/moving/slithering. "Halt machen! Im Anschlag!" He then gives the order to aim. "Zielen!" We hear the sound of a turret moving. The SS Nazi smiles and gives the command to fire: "Abfeuern!")
CUT TO: CU of tank’s main gun barrel. Pause. It fires. Nothing invisible about this laser beam.
FX: LASER/PHOTON/MISSILE “PHWOOWAOOWEEUM” SOUND
SOUND: EXPLOSION/IMPLOSION
CUT TO: Front door of gymnasium from outside, disintegrated, as well as most of the wall around it.
CUT TO: INT. GYMNASIUM, second half of the explosion.
(BOBBY looks about, many people are on the floor, reeling from the explosion/implosion -- some quickly get up and attack the few who actually survived. BOBBY pushes PERCY through the basement door and follows her.)
