- PETER
- (mutters to himself)
- This is weird. My God, I feel so weird...
- He leaps to his feet. He flexes. Feels weird. Good
- Weird. In fact, great weird! He tries a couple of
- "jumping jacks" and on the third jump he soars into the
- air!
- PETER
- (exhilarated)
- Very weird.
- The great, bespangled, NEW YORK CITY is his backdrop as
- PETER jumps and turns and does loops in the air.
- With the agility and tactility of a spider, PETER leaps
- from the RAILING to a WALL to a FLAG POLE to another WALL
- where he lands sideways and sticks.
- PETER
- (sideways)
- Very, very weird.
- He leaps off the WALL and lands at the edge of the roof.
- He looks down. No one's looking back. So, he takes a
- step back and leaps the alley to the next roof.
- EXT. ROOFTOP SHACK - NIGHT
- PETER lands on it. The next roof is seven stories up and
- across the street. PETER bites his lip.
- PETER
- Well, what the hell!!
- EXT. THE TALLER BUILDING - NIGHT
- Backlit by a FULL MOON, PETER somersaults to the roof of
- the taller building, and misses the top!
- He sticks to the brick FACADE, upside down! He laughs
- with the moment. A WINDOW opens below him and a pretty
- BLONDE in a TOWEL sticks her head out. She looks this way
- and that, and all she sees is a MAN in a LOUD SPORTCOAT
- down the street. Never thinking to look up, she withdraws
- into the room.
- EXT. CHELSEA STREET - NIGHT
- The MAN in the LOUD SPORTCOAT leans against a LAMP POST
- and lights a CIGARETTE with a BEAT UP, SILVER PLATED
- LIGHTER.
- In the LIGHTER he sees a reflection of PETER leaping off
- the taller building. He snaps around and looks up in time
- to see PETER make it to the next FACADE.
- EXT. ROOFTOP MONTAGE - NIGHT
- With the UPTOWN SKYLINE behind him, PETER casts caution to
- the wind and leaps from rooftop to rooftop.
- Watching from the street, the MAN in the LOUD SPORTCOAT
- follows PETER'S progress.
- PETER leaps to a BROWNSTONE and lands amid the WASH.
- He leaps up to a TENEMENT and lands on a BILLBOARD across
- which he does a "bug crawl" and leaps again.
- He touches down on a PIGEON COOP and bounds up and out of
- frame again. The COOP OWNER, a LATINO in an undershirt
- and a YANKEES CAP, comes running out of the COOP.
- He's so surprised that he leaves the DOOR open and twenty
- WHITE MORNING DOVES fly away in a furious flapping, free
- at last. The LATINO lets out a stream of Hispanic
- expletives complete with all the appropriately obscene
- gestures.
- PETER slides down a CABLE to a LAMP POST, and swirls down
- the POLE to a PHONE BOOTH.
- EXT. PHONE BOOTH - NIGHT
- PETER comes face to face with the man in the LOUD
- SPORTCOAT. He gives PETER his CARD.
