ZOOM IN
YOUNG SINGER V.O.
Kaptain Kool, savior of The Universe!
THIRD KID
(With PETER doll from a surprisingly-convincing, makeshift command center made of broken crates, sticks and scrap:) Ooooh! Kaptain! Look Out! It's the Orb Of Doom!
SECOND KID
(ORB OF DOOM ACTION SET blazes toward them-) Central Command! We got you in our sights... prepare to be blasted!
THIRD KID
(With doll:) Peter... Prepare for heavy losses!
SECOND KID
I'll get you, Kaptain Kool! Heh! Heh! Heh!
(Battle ensues between ORB OF DOOM ACTION PLAY SET and action figures. When the sonic-cannon fires, it literally emanates a police siren before moving on to spacier sounds. Big kids drinking and smoking questionable cigarettes while shooting a game of cardboard-box craps in the background take immediate notice.)
TELEVISION ANNOUNCER V.O.
Dominate your foes with the Invincible Orb of Doom! Intimidate the galactic neighborhood with its legion of blaster rays, retractable trajectory sight port --and you can program over five-thousand sound-combinations into your recoiling sonic-cannon! Fire-at-will!
(Orb fires. Siren sounds. Big kids watch from background. Orb lands. Orb opens and reveals Dr. Diablo action doll and laboratory play set. Big kids in background slowly head toward camera, gangsta-style.)
SECOND KID
There's no stopping me! Ha! Ha!
FIRST KID
It's Diablo!
(FIRST KID taps THIRD KID'S chest to get his attention, nods once in the direction of the big kids approaching. THIRD KID nods back.)
CU: SECOND KID
SECOND KID
Revenge is sweet, John Thomas! Ha!
REV. ANGLE
THIRD KID
Retreat to Central Command! We're out-gunned!
(Kids run away to house across the street -- barely looking both ways before crossing.)
REVERSE ANGLE: Big kids slowly approach behind gloating child, to eventually surround him.
WIPE TO: EXT. CLOSE UP
SECOND KID
(Making police siren sound with orb one last time:) Heh! Heh! Heh! I win! Ha! Ha! Ha!
