  1. PETER
  2. (mutters to himself)
  3. This is weird. My God, I feel so weird...
  4.  
  5. He leaps to his feet. He flexes. Feels weird. Good
  6. Weird. In fact, great weird! He tries a couple of
  7. "jumping jacks" and on the third jump he soars into the
  8. air!
  9.  
  10. PETER
  11. (exhilarated)
  12. Very weird.
  13.  
  14. The great, bespangled, NEW YORK CITY is his backdrop as
  15. PETER jumps and turns and does loops in the air.
  16. With the agility and tactility of a spider, PETER leaps
  17. from the RAILING to a WALL to a FLAG POLE to another WALL
  18. where he lands sideways and sticks.
  19.  
  20. PETER
  21. (sideways)
  22. Very, very weird.
  23.  
  24. He leaps off the WALL and lands at the edge of the roof.
  25. He looks down. No one's looking back. So, he takes a
  26. step back and leaps the alley to the next roof.
  27.  
  28. EXT. ROOFTOP SHACK - NIGHT
  29.  
  30. PETER lands on it. The next roof is seven stories up and
  31. across the street. PETER bites his lip.
  32.  
  33. PETER
  34. Well, what the hell!!
  35.  
  36. EXT. THE TALLER BUILDING - NIGHT
  37.  
  38. Backlit by a FULL MOON, PETER somersaults to the roof of
  39. the taller building, and misses the top!
  40.  
  41. He sticks to the brick FACADE, upside down! He laughs
  42. with the moment. A WINDOW opens below him and a pretty
  43. BLONDE in a TOWEL sticks her head out. She looks this way
  44. and that, and all she sees is a MAN in a LOUD SPORTCOAT
  45. down the street. Never thinking to look up, she withdraws
  46. into the room.
  47.  
  48. EXT. CHELSEA STREET - NIGHT
  49.  
  50. The MAN in the LOUD SPORTCOAT leans against a LAMP POST
  51. and lights a CIGARETTE with a BEAT UP, SILVER PLATED
  52. LIGHTER.
  53.  
  54. In the LIGHTER he sees a reflection of PETER leaping off
  55. the taller building. He snaps around and looks up in time
  56. to see PETER make it to the next FACADE.
  57.  
  58. EXT. ROOFTOP MONTAGE - NIGHT
  59.  
  60. With the UPTOWN SKYLINE behind him, PETER casts caution to
  61. the wind and leaps from rooftop to rooftop.
  62.  
  63. Watching from the street, the MAN in the LOUD SPORTCOAT
  64. follows PETER'S progress.
  65.  
  66. PETER leaps to a BROWNSTONE and lands amid the WASH.
  67. He leaps up to a TENEMENT and lands on a BILLBOARD across
  68. which he does a "bug crawl" and leaps again.
  69.  
  70. He touches down on a PIGEON COOP and bounds up and out of
  71. frame again. The COOP OWNER, a LATINO in an undershirt
  72. and a YANKEES CAP, comes running out of the COOP.
  73.  
  74. He's so surprised that he leaves the DOOR open and twenty
  75. WHITE MORNING DOVES fly away in a furious flapping, free
  76. at last. The LATINO lets out a stream of Hispanic
  77. expletives complete with all the appropriately obscene
  78. gestures.
  79.  
  80. PETER slides down a CABLE to a LAMP POST, and swirls down
  81. the POLE to a PHONE BOOTH.
  82.  
  83. EXT. PHONE BOOTH - NIGHT
  84.  
  85. PETER comes face to face with the man in the LOUD
  86. SPORTCOAT. He gives PETER his CARD.
