it unlocks many cool features!
- Alfred descends the ladder as Bruce rises, crosses to two larger
- versions of the cabled cylinders. They stand upright, some eight feet
- apart from each other. Bruce leans down, opens the top of a large
- transformer box.
- BRUCE (CONT'D)
- I've connected two mega-transformer
- leads to form a force field of a
- million volts.
- Bruce flips a switch - dazzling blue light begins to dance between the
- cable cylinders. Alfred turns with the gun in his hands as Bruce calls
- to him from behind the sparkling wall of blue light.
- BRUCE (CONT'D)
- Shoot me.
- ALFRED
- Pardon?
- BRUCE
- Shoot to kill. Aim for the heart.
- ALFRED
- I...assume this apparatus has been
- thoroughly tested, Sir?
- BRUCE
- We're doing it right now.
- Alfred stares incredulously, the gun shaking in his hand.
- ALFRED
- Sir...if you've miscalculated...
- BRUCE
- Be a good soldier, Alfred.
- (pause)
- Shoot. Now!
- Alfred straightens his arm, his finger squeezing the trigger.
- BRUCE (CONT'D)
- (suddenly)
- Wait!
- TOO LATE: Alfred fires! The bullet bounces off the blue wall of
- light, then ricochets back at Alfred, pinging into the cavern wall next
- to his head! Alfred hits the deck as the lead cartridge continues a
- seemingly endless path of ricochets until there is sudden silence.
- Alfred rises, sweat dripping from his brow. Bruce grins, turning off
- the blue light.
- BRUCE
- I forgot to tell you to duck.
