FADE UP ON:

An EXTREME CLOSE-UP of what look like BRIGHT-ORANGE TREE-
RINGS, filling the screen*

JUICE NEWTON lifts our collective spirits with her power
ballad 'ANGEL OF THE MORNING ' as we begin our*..

. • * CREDIT SEQUENCE .

We slowly PULL BACK to reveal that the 'rings' are actually
the glowing COILS of an automobile's CIGARETTE LIGHTER.

The camera SWINGS around the lighter to reveal that it's
HOVERING, FROZEN, in MID-AIR...

...next to the face of a MAN who appears to be violently
COUGHING.

The FROZEN man is FLAILING in mid-somersault. His LOCATION
isn't clear until,..

...the camera pulls back FURTHER, out the WINDOW of a
CADILLAC ESCALADE, also in MID-AIR...

...FROZEN UPSIDE-DOWN, MID-FLIP . ^

The camera circles the ESCALADE and EXPLORES an outrageous
ACTION SCENE that has been FROZEN IN TIME *

NOTE: OUR CREDITS HANG IN THE AIR, AT ODD ANGLES, THREE
DIMENSIONALITY, INTEGRATED INTO THE SCENE.

We're on a FREEWAY OVERPASS at morning RUSH HOUR.

We SEE:

A MAN SMASHING through the Escalade's SUN-ROOF...
...SHARDS of GLASS encircling his head like mosquitoes...
...and DROPS of BLOOD SPATTERING in CLOSE-UP,

ANOTHER MAN catapulting through the air ABOVE the Escalade...

...his ANKLE entangled in a SEAT-BELT protruding from the
open passenger door.

A MOTORCYCLE tumbling in front of the Escalade's GRILLE,
METAL PARTS exploding OUTWARD, CHAIN whipping through space.

A motorcycle RIDER soaring through the air, eyes WIDE inside
his helmet, still firing a SUB-MACHINE GUN...

. . .FLAME exploding from its barrel...
...SHELL-CASINGS spilling everywhere...

...SLUGS whizzing through the air TOWARD the Escalade, but
more specifically...

...toward a tangled jumble of RED FABRIC inside.

The camera swoops toward the fabric, which clings to the
limbs of ANOTHER MAN, AS S -OVER -KETTLE inside the S.U.V*

We see his arms. Legs.

And at last* * . MASK.

Eyes trimmed in BLACK.

DEADPOOL .

JUICE NEWTON belts out her final heartfelt note, and we...
. . . END CREDITS .

DEADPOOL (V*0*)
I know, right? You have no idea
what the fuck's going on right now.
So let me take you back to the dewy
slopes of. . *

SMASH CUT TO:

INT. /EXT. SUPER-MAX PRISON - DAY
Title: 48 Minutes Ago

Tight on a pair of black SHIT-KICKERS, escorted through a
series of CELL and SECURITY DOORS , which SWING and SLIDE OPEN
and CLOSED AGAIN.

At last, the black boots walk OUTSIDE into SUNLIGHT.

Etched into the blinding white fortress behind:

'No punishment has ever possessed enough power of deterrence
to prevent the commission of crimes.' - Hannah Arendt

'Until NOW.'

The boots strut toward an automotive buffet of Escalades and
Ducatis in the parking lot... all part of a CONVOY waiting to
pick up this V.I. P. PRISONER on his first day of freedom.

3.




One of the Escalade's doors swings open. VELVET
UNDERGROUND'S 'I'M WAITING FOR THE MAN' booms from inside.

We're behind the boots as they stop walking. The camera
rises up the prisoner's back as the hands of PRISON GUARDS
UNLOCK the CUFFS restraining his wrists.

The camera continues to rise, high into the air. The
prisoner STRETCHES his arms and struts across the lot TOWARD
the convoy.



EXT. /INT. TAXI CAB - DAY

A TAXI CAB proceeds along a CITY FREEWAY*

Inside the cab, DEADPOOL, in full DRESS REDS, is WEDGING
himself through the Plexiglas opening between the back seat
and front.

The two KATANAS strapped to Deadpool's back don't cooperate,
catching on the Plexiglas, stalling him mid-torso.



The CAB DRIVER grabs Deadpool's hand and pulls him through to
the front. Deadpool's head rests upside down on the bench
seat as he maneuvers his legs through.



The cabbie turns the helping hand into a HANDSHAKE.



CABBIE

Dopinder .

DEADPOOL
{still upside-down)
Pool . Deadpool .



Dopinder looks like Aziz Ansari's and Dev Patel's love child.
He is young, thin, bearded, brown.** and today 9 remarkably
and ironically UNAFFECTED by this lunatic in his cab.



DEADPOOL
Uh, little help here?




DEADPOOL
Kinda lonely back there.



DOPINDER



Why the fancy red suit, Mr. Pool?



DEADPOOL



Christmas Day, Dopinder.



(glances at watch)
Waited one-thousand-eight-hundred-
twenty- two days for this shit.

DEADPOOL turns himself RIGHT-SIDE-UP in the front seat. He
is YOKED to the gills and ARMED to the teeth* TWIN KATANAS.
TWIN DESERT EAGLE .50 CALIBER PISTOLS.

Deadpool reaches for Dopinder's OPEN BAG of CORN NUTS.
Dopinder reflexively tries to grab it first and almost gets
it, but Deadpool pulls it away.

Deadpool turns up his MASK. And we GLIMPSE the bottom half
of a SCARRED face. We hold on it as he eats.

CRUNCH . CRUNCH . CRUNCH .

DEADPOOL
(points)
Nice.

Dopinder eyes his AIR FRESHENER and takes a deep breath
through his nose.

DOPINDER
Smells good, no?

DEADPOOL
Not the Daffodil Daydream air
freshener. The girl.

A PICTURE of an INDIAN YOUNG WOMAN is taped to Dopinder's
dash.

DOPINDER
Ah yes. Gita. She is quite
lovely. She will make me a very
agreeable wife. My parents know
how to pick 'em!

DEADPOOL
Y'know, Dopinder, love is a
beautiful thing. When it finds
you, the whole world smells like
Daffodil Daydream.

(cleansing breath)
Hold onto her. Hold onto love.
'Cause when it leaves? The whole
world tastes like Rosie O'Donnell.

DOPINDER

And how does Ms. O'Donnell taste,
Mr. Pool?

Deadpool tosses in the final corn nut of the bag. CRUNCH.

DEADPOOL
Like your nuts in my mouth.

5.



Deadpool chucks the bag out the window and pulls out his
PISTOLS * He starts CHAMBERING shells into two magazines.

Suddenly, he frantically pats himself down, like a Hollywood
agent who can't find his phone.



DEADPOOL

Shiiit* My extra mags I I usually
leave them right by the door so
I'll trip over them! Som eone
must've moved them...



SMASH CUT TO:



INT. DEADPOOL ' S APARTMENT - MORNING



A sightless old WOMAN (whom we'll later learn is Deadpool 's
roommate, BLIND AL) dusts the COBWEBS by the front door,
TRIPS on the DUFFEL of AMMUNITION, PICKS UP the duffel, and
CARRIES it OFF.



SMASH CUT BACK
TO:



INT. /EXT. TAXI CAB - DAY ^



DOPINDER
Shall we turn back?



DEADPOOL

No time.

(slides in his last few
bullets )

Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen... or
bust »

(chambers a shell into
each gun, looks up)
Right here!



The cab STOPS on the shoulder of the highest FREEWAY in a
massive INTERCHANGE of freeways at the center of the city.
Dopinder halts the meter and hands Deadpool hit* CARD*



DOPINDER
My card. That's twenty-seven-
sixty.



DEADPOOL

Oooo. I never carry a wallet when
I'm working* Ruins the lines of my

DEADPOOL (CONT'D)

(beat)

How 'bout a crisp high five?

Dopinder stares, deadpan , as he and Deadpool slap skin*
Deadpool GETS OUT of the cab. Dopinder tries to YANK his
business card back and almost gets it, but Deadpool pulls it
AWAY.

DOPINDER
Be sure to... ask for me again.

DEADPOOL
Merry Christmas! Dopinder.

DOPINDER
And a Merry Christmas to you,
Pool. . . Guy.

Deadpool closes the door with a flourish. Boom.



EXT. FREEWAY OVERPASS - DAY

DEADPOOL sits on the edge of the highest freeway on the
overpass, legs dangling over the side like Huck Finn.

DEADPOOL

I heard that you were talking shit.
And you didn't think that I would
hear it.

ANGLE ON:

A distant BIRD'S EYE VIEW of the entire freeway interchange:
a crazy, looping, interwoven tangle of ramps headed to-and-
fro every direction on the compass...

DEADPOOL (O.S.)
People hear you talking like that.
Getting everybody fired up.



EXT. FREEWAY OVERPASS - DAY

Moving along the second ramp from the top is the CONVOY from
the prisons ONE BLACK ESCALADE in front, then TWO
MOTORCYCLES , TWO MORE BLACK ESCALADES, TWO MORE MOTORCYCLES,
and one final BLACK ESCALADE.

DEADPOOL (O.S.)
This shit... is bananas.

EXT. FREEWAY OVERPASS - DAY

DEADPOOL watchea from his spot on the edge as the convoy
approaches •

DEADPOOL
B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

He very CASUALLY gets up as if standing up out of an easy
chair. . .

...and DROPS an entire level DOWN,..

...THROUGH the WINDSHIELD of the first ESCALADE in the
convoy.

There are four HUGE BAD-ASSES inside the S.U.V., two in
front, two behind. They stare, in SHOCK, as Deadpool lands
on the center console in a HAILSTORM of GLASS.

DEADPOOL

Holal He llamo Gabriela. Donde
esta la biblioteca?

(subtitled, in YELLOW, of
course : )

Hello . My name is Gabriela* Where
ia the library?

A beat. Then BOOM I MAYHEM ERUPTS as these four try to beat
the living fuck out of Deadpool...

...but find themselves sharing a phone booth with the
TASMANIAN DEVIL.

ELBOWS . FOREARMS . KNEES . CRACKING . CRUNCHING . SCREAMING .

From BEHIND, the rest of the convoy WATCHES, in awe, as the
Escalade BUCKS and BOUNCES down the road on its suspension,
almost CARTOON-LIKE.

DEADPOOL (O.S.)
Tehema aniline leather? Premium
trim.

Back in the S.U.V., Deadpool trades VICIOUS PUNCHES with the
pair in back seat...

...then reaches forward between the two guys in front...

DEADPOOL



'Scuse.

...and YANKS the EMERGENCY BRAKE. The S.U.V. DIVES FORWARD .

8.



One guy FLIES all the way from the back seat*., THROUGH the
remains of the windshield.**

..•and off the HOOD. He EATS the CADILLAC HOOD ORNAMENT on
his way off the front...

...and then - THUMP-THUMP - gets RUN OVER by BOTH sets of
wheels .

DEADPOOL instantly RELEASES the EMERGENCY BRAKE again. The
S.U.V. regains speed.

Deadpool HURLS his next victim THROUGH the TAILGATE WINDOW .

The man clutches onto the TAILGATE for dear life, DRAGGED
behind the S.U.V.

DEADPOOL leaps back in front. He WRESTLES VIOLENTLY with the
guy in the PASSENGER SEAT...

...somehow gets turned UPSIDE DOWN...

. * * TRIANGLE-CHOKES the guy with his legs.,*

.--GRABS the PASSENGER SEAT-BELT, WRAPS /TIES it around the
guy ' s ANKLE . . .

...and KICKS him out the PASSENGER SIDE DOOR.

The guy's HEAD and SHOULDERS SMACK pavement, where he's
DRAGGED mercilessly by his ANKLE - a modern COWBOY whose boot
just got stuck in his horse's STIRRUP.

Deadpool 's head is still down in the well under the GLOVE
COMPARTMENT.

The DRIVER starts BOOT-STOMPING him in the head.

DEADPOOL

You with the massive head trauma!

Deadpool somehow RIGHTS HIMSELF and grabs the driver by the
HAIR on the BACK of his HEAD.

DEADPOOL
Two can play!

Deadpool begins BEATING the driver's FOREHEAD into shit as
hard as he can:

The horn. HONK. HONK. HONK.

The side mirror. BASH. BASH. OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER
THAN THEY APPEAR.

9,



The stereo. Every time the driver's forehead SMACKS the face
of the stereo again, the RADIO STATION CHANGES:

DMX.

DAVID ARCHULETA.

DR. DREW on 'LOVE LINE. '

MARIACHI MUSIC.

Deadpool looks in the REAR VIEW MIRROR to see the man in back
CRAWL up the tailgate back into the S.U.V.

Deadpool PUSHES in the Cadillac's CIGARETTE LIGHTER.

Back to the DRIVER. Deadpool now BASHES his face into the
SUNROOF . THUMP ♦ THUMP . THUMP .

We're now ABOVE the Escalade, seeing the guy's expression
take on a ridiculous silly-putty-esque grimace of pain every
time it's MUSHED into the glass.

The man in back scrambles over the back seats.

The CIGARETTE LIGHTER POPS OUT.

Deadpool MASHES the BRAKE PEDAL. The man in back LAUNCHES
forward and SMACKS the DASHBOARD.

Deadpool STABS the now ORANGE-HOT lighter into the man's
cheek, BURNING the COIL PATTERN into his skin.

The man SCREAMS. Deadpool STUFFS the lighter INTO the man's
mouth and CLAMPS his hand over it.

The man HOLLERS in muffled agony.

Deadpool looks FORWARD.

A MOTORCYCLE has pulled AHEAD of the ESCALADE and now sits,
STOPPED, in the S.U.V. 's path.

The helmeted RIDER OPENS FIRE with a SUB -MACHINE GUN.

Deadpool has one hand grasped on the back of the driver's
neck, still mashing his face into the sunroof, and the OTHER
hand still clamped over the second man's mouth*

He plants both FEET on the STEERING WHEEL and 'drives,'
spinning the wheel to avoid the MOTORCYCLE, sending the
S.U.V. into. . .

...a SPIN... and a ROLL. The Escalade goes ENDO,
SOMERSAULTING WILDLY through the air.

Suddenly, the ACTION BEGINS TO SLOW ...

The motorcycle RIDER tries to bail out. NO LUCK. The
tumbling Escalade PLOWS RIGHT INTO him AND his bike.

Parts scatter off the motorcycle, including its CHAIN.

The RIDER continues to SQUEEZE off ROUNDS as he goes FLYING.

Inside the Escalade, Deadpool goes SPIN-CYCLE.

The DRIVER'S face smashes THROUGH the glass of the sunroof,
BLOOD spatters.

The other man SPITS OUT the glowing CIGARETTE LIGHTER.

The guy whose ankle is still tangled in the seat-belt FLAILS
through the air like a rag-doll, AHAB tied to MOBY DICK.

The action CONTINUES to SLOW . . . until it FREEZES in the
PRECISE SPOT THE MOVIE BEGAN .

The camera swoops in to Deadpool 's face, upside down.

HE TURNS HIS HEAD TO CAMERA FOR THE FIRST TIME, BREAKING THE
FOtTPTH wat.t. . THE ONLY THING IN THE SCENE THAT'S MOVING:

DEADPOOL

Shit. Did I leave the stove on?

And we then RAMP back UP to FULL SPEED . The S.U.V.
CARTWHEELS .

The guy's ankle finally untangles from the seat-belt, sending
him FLYING across the median into the WINDSHIELD of a SEMI
coming the other way,

SPLAT. He FLIES OUT OF FRAME.

The RIDER'S NECK is SLICED by the flying CHAIN of his own
MOTORCYCLE .

The DRIVER is half-way out the SUNROOF when the S.U.V. rolls
right OVER him.

The man who ate the CIGARETTE LIGHTER gets a PAVEMENT FACIAL.

The S.U.V. finally rolls to a halt, ON ITS SIDE, PASSENGER
WINDOWS UP.

11*



The rest of the CONVOY - THREE MORE MOTORCYCLES, THREE MORE
ESCALADES - are forced to a HALT BEHIND the wreckage.

A BUNCH of MEN PILE OUT, each one drawing a DIFFERENT BEASTLY
KIND OF GUN and POINTING it STRAIGHT at the disabled S.U.V.

The last noise is made by one final dislodged HUBCAP, which
rattles in little circles until it lies FLAT on the freeway.



TWO SILENT BEATS.



Then we hear the soft, ELECTRIC BUZZ of the Escalade's middle
passenger window ROLLING DOWN.

Up pops the HEAD of DEADPOOL, like the GOPHER in Caddyahack*

He rises out of the window until he's visible from CHEST UP*
The thugs all STARE.

DEADPOOL

(to the thugs)
You're probably wondering. Why the
red suit? It's so if you shoot me,
you can't see me bleed*

(points to thug)
This guy has the idea. He wore the
brown pants*

As Deadpool says this, he pulls out those TWO MASSIVE .50 CAL
PISTOLS. . .

...AIMING them at two thugs at right angles*.*



DEADPOOL
(to camera)
All together now...



* . .and OPENING FIRE*



DEADPOOL
(not saying this for show,
really trying to keep
count )
Eighteen. . i

A SHELL-CASING is EJECTED from the first pistol. We enter
EXTREME SLOW MOTION and SWOOP IN on the shell as it TUMBLES
through the air...

...revealing the number ' 00018 ' ETCHED in a semi-circle on
its butt end.

Deadpool FIRES the second pistol. We move instantly to the
second shell: '00017'

DEADPOOL
Seventeen. . .

FULL SPEED. The first TWO THUGS EACH get a MOUTHFUL of
BULLET.

DEADPOOL

Sixteen* . .

ANOTHER SHOT. A THUG takes one in the HEART.

CHAOS breaks loose as the thugs OPEN FIRE MERCILESSLY on the
disabled S.U.V.

Deadpool LEAPS UP and OUT of the window, rising ABOVE the
incoming shots, then LANDING SAFELY BEHIND the Escalade.

The motorcyclists HAUL ASS around him, trying to get a better
shot.

Deadpool runs right FOR one MOTORCYCLE, dodging bullets, then
FIRING.

DEADPOOL

Fifteen . . .

The bullet strikes the BIKE in right handlebar, causing the
RIDER to lose control and FLY right TOWARD Deadpool.

Deadpool DUCKS and fires a shot STRAIGHT UP, POINT-BLANK into
the rider's FACE as he flies over. '00014'

DEADPOOL
Fourteen . * 1

Three THUGS fire a VOLLEY of bullets.

The MOTORCYCLE is still SOARING toward DEADPOOL, who GRABS it
in mid-air and REDIRECTS it to DEFLECT the incoming slugs.

Deadpool SPINS and FIRES at ANOTHER MOTORCYCLE bearing down
on him.

DEADPOOL
Thirteen * * . twelve . . .

Bullet thirteen hits the GAS TANK of the motorcycle, SPILLING
its contents*

Bullet twelve hits the PUDDLE of GAS, kicking off a SPARK...

...that IGNITES it in a trail back to the bike, causing it
(and the RIDER) to EXPLODE.

13,



Deadpool hears a noise and TURNS. . -

...to SPY the third RIDER BEARING DOWN ON HIM. Deadpool
raises BOTH pistols.

This RIDER ANTICIPATES the bullets and LEANS away from each
slug. First left, then right, then left,

THREE WASTED SHOTS:

DEADPOOL

E leven . Shit 1 Ten . Fuck ! Nine .
Shit-fuck I

The motorcycle WHIZZES PAST safely, firing bullets, FORCING
DEADPOOL to dive UNDER an S.U.V.

He pops up on the other side, right BEHIND a thug who's
looking in the other direction.

Deadpool SHRUGS and SHOOTS him in the BACK of the HEAD at
POINT BLANK RANGE.

DEADPOOL

Eight.

The shell tumbles to the ground, falls still. '00008' ^)

Deadpool flings open the door of the Escalade and takes a
thorough look inside. Whoever he's searching for is NOT
THERE.

Then Deadpool spies the REFLECTION of another THUG in the
SIDE MIRROR.

DEADPOOL

Siete .

Deadpool FIRES AT THE MIRROR.

In SLO-MO, the bullet STRIKES the mirror at an OBLIQUE ANGLE
and RICOCHETS perfectly INTO the thug who made the
reflection.

DEADPOOL
Ha gusta siete.

BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG. Deadpool is nearly BROUGHT DOWN by
a particularly big thug with a particularly big AK-47.

He dives behind another Escalade, takes a moment to search

the interior through the windows - no luck... and then

flinches as AK-47 bullets pass THROUGH the skin of the S.U.V. ^\

14.



Deadpool scrambles AROUND the S.U.V. and FORWARD in a series
of leaps and rolls, trying to close the distance to this guy
through a WITHERING BARRAGE of fire.

One of the AK's slugs SLICES a swath out of the mask on
Deadpool 's head, SINGING his hair.

DEADPOOL.
Fuck. You .

Deadpool finally springs out in FRONT of the thug. The thug
pulls his trigger again, only to - CLICK - realize he's OUT
of BULLETS.

DEADPOOL
Someone ' s counting. Six.

Deadpool 's bullet CATCHES the thug in the throat, dropping
him. '00006'

Deadpool STRIDES past the fallen thug, pawing at his singed
hair - ow - and then out of sheer, pumped-up ANGER...

• . .turns and PUMPS TWO MORE SUPERFLUOUS BULLETS into him,

DEADPOOL

Five. Four. Stupid. Worth it.

The WILIEST of the motorcycle riders makes another pass,
FIRING. Deadpool ducks behind the S.U.V. again.

Twenty yards away, a GROUP of thugs has CLUSTERED behind the
final S.U.V. They're KNEELING to avoid being shot. One
pulls out a HAND-GRENADE , RAISES HIS ARM, and THROWS.

Deadpool sees the grenade MID-ARC and FIRES. '00003'

DEADPOOL

Three .

The bullet is so precisely aimed, it SPLITS the GRENADE,
DETONATING it just SHY of where Deadpool is standing. The
fragments TEAR into the Escalade.

Deadpool looks across to the far Escalade. Through the
windows, he sees another kneeling thug RAISE his ARM to
throw, GRENADE clutched in his FIST.

DEADPOOL
(chuckles)
Number two . . .

Deadpool FIRES, SHOOTING the GRENADE as it still sits in the
thug's FIST.

15,

BOOM! The whole CLUSTER of THUGS goes flying,

Deadpool emerges from behind the S.U.V,, feeling victorious.

He approaches the final S.U.V* and throws open the doors to
search, expecting to find his target at last*

But STILL... NO LUCK.

Even worse, CLICK-CLACK. The distinctive COCKING of
SHOTGUNS •

Deadpool turns around to face a chilling sight: THREE final
THUGS, standing in the middle of the freeway, lined up
perpendicular to him, SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER, each aiming a
massive BENELLI COMBAT SHOTGUN *

Deadpool raises a PISTOL. We ZOOM IN all the way through the
CHAMBER to spy the last BULLET, POISED in front of the FIRING
PIN:

'00001'

Deadpool thinks, then LEAPS and TWISTS forward and to the
right .

All three THUGS FIRE. SHOTGUN PELLETS SCATTER THROUGH THE
AIR, JUST MISSING DEADPOOL...

...WHO LANDS so that all three men, once perpendicular, are
now parallel to him...

...in A SINGLE-FILE LINE.

DEADPOOL

One .

BOOM I We're with the FINAL BULLET as it HURTLES from the gun
and passes THROUGH the first man's head.-.

...then the SECOND man's head...

...and SMACKS the third man in the forehead.

This third man, the BIGGEST THUG YET, HITS the DECK,

Deadpool puts his mouth to his pistol barrel, INHALES...

...and then EXHALES smoke through the pores of his mask.

DEADPOOL
I'm touching myself tonight.

But then, as if by magic, the thug STIRS... and STANDS UP.

The SLUG has LODGED partway in his FOREHEAD, having lost just
enough momentum that it didn't make it all the way through.

The thug sneers, plucks out the slug, wipes away some blood,
and rolls up his SLEEVES*

DEADPOOL

Really7 Rolling up the sleeves?

Deadpool reaches behind his back, and we hear the WONDERFULLY
THRILING SOUND* . .

...of STEEL BLADES being DRAWN*

For the first time, out come Deadpool's TRADEMARK KATANAS...
The thug's eyes widen as*..

* * .SWOOSH. . . the blades swing through the air and SKEWER him,
under two different ribs and out the BACK*

DEADPOOL (V.O*)
I know what you're thinking*..

As they do, the action SLOWS, once again, to a FREEZE.
Deadpool is in mid-slice, muscles bulging*

DEADPOOL (V.O.)

INT* FOYER - NIGHT - PAST
Title: 5 Years Ago

We're just inside the front door of an upper-middle class
SUBURBAN HOME.

GAVIN MERCHANT, a sleazy late-thirties DOUCHE, is in MID-

Merchant STARES , incredulous.



WADE

Jeremy NODS.

MERCHANT '

Without even bothering to turn toward Merchant f Wade PULLS

Merchant and Jeremy both go pale.

INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT - PAST

WADE and MERCHANT sit on Merchant's couch, feet up on a
coffee table. Wade is wearing Merchant's Ed Hardy FLAMING
TIGER trucker cap.

They finish the pizza, watching the NBA on TNT.

WADE

I really appreciate this, Mr,
Merchant. Fuckers at Comcast cut
off my cable.

INT. /EXT. SISTER MARGARET'S - NIGHT - PAST

We're on the wrong side of the proverbial TRACKS, where a
grimy SIGN on a grimier brick building reads:

' SISTER MARGARET'S SCHOOL FOR WAYWARD GIRLS.'

Inside, WADE claims a BAR STOOL and waves over the joint's
OWNER, 'PATCH.' Think Tom Cruise in 'Cocktail.' Then think
the opposite. Patchiest beard ever. Thus the nickname.

Wade slaps a YELLOW CARD on the bar. The card features an
embedded SIM and the logo of a CYPRESS TREE. SCRAWLED
underneath the tree is the name 'GARRETT, JEREMY. '

PATCH

(hurt)

You promised me some 'za.

WADE

Sorry, Patch. I boxed it up for
Ms. Orlvosky. Orlovosky? Fuck!

Patch goes to the register. Scans the card. Peels off six
ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS • Lays them out like a bank teller.

PATCH

So, Wade, what'll it be?
WADE

I'd love a blow job.
PATCH

We got that in common*
WADE

The drink, knuckle nut* Kahlua,
Bailey's, whip cream?

(slides back a hundred)
And send it over to Flex.

Patch follows Wade's gaze down to: FLEX, a BAD-ASS in a
snakeskin jacket, a crowd gathered round him, mid-story. He
too is holding a YELLOW CARD with SIM and CYPRESS TREE.

FLEX

So I got my Glock in his mouth, and
he' s like. . .

(mouth full)
. . • ' I thought you guys had a code * '
And I was like, 'Yeah, no women.
And I was almost fooled by your
tits. But the moustache? i' Boom .

The crowd CRACKS UP. Back to Wade and Patch, who's putting
the finishing touches on the drink.

WADE
(to Patch)
Oh* And tell him it's from Boothe.

Patch follows Wade's gaze to the OTHER side of the bar, where
BOOTHE sits. Leathery. Cowboy hat* Boothe's got some guy's
fingers splayed out on the bar, jabbing A KNIFE POINT between
them as fast as he can.

PATCH

Remind me what good comes of this?
WADE

Ever see Gallagher take a mallet to
a melon?

Patch allows himself a tiny conspiratorial SMILE.

SMASH CUT TO:

WADE, in medium shot, giggling at the bar TV, watching
GALLAGHER getting his ' SLEDGE -O-MATIC ' on, as... SMACK I BAM!
A huge FIGHT goes on - OUT OP FOCUS - behind him.

Wade finally turns around to watch. FLEX finishes off
Boothe... then pours the BLOW JOB on top of him.

A YOUNG MAN hurries over and leans over Boothe. WEASEL.
Early 20's. Short. Geeky. Glasses. SHADIER than a REDWOOD
FOREST.

Weasel slaps Boothe 's cheek lightly, puts a mirror to his
mouth, then stands.

WEASEL
Still kicking.

The place 'oooooohs.' Near miss.

Weasel bellies up next to Wade with a smile.

WEASEL

Six to one says you got Boothe in
the dead pool.

ABOVE Wade and Weasel, BEHIND the bar, is an ENORMOUS
CHALKBOARD: 'Sister Margaret's DEAD POOL.' Below, a long
LIST of NAMES. DOLLAR AMOUNTS to the right of the names.
More NAMES to the right of the dollars.

WADE
(shakes head)
Nah. I took Amy Winehouse.

SMASH CUT TO:



EXT. ALLEY - LONDON - NIGHT - PAST

A laughing AMY WINEHOUSE PLUMMETS from a PUB DOOR in LONDON,
CLUTCHING A BOTTLE OF ABSINTHE.

AMY

She TRIPS on the curb. SOMERSAULTS into the GUTTER.

INT. SISTER MARGARET'S - NIGHT - PAST

WADE

Crazy bitch has the shelf life of a
Suzy Q.

WEASEL
I still like my chances.

Wade looks up at the board. Right after 'WADE.' Who's
chosen 'WINEHOUSE*' Is 'WEASEL.' Who's chosen 'WADE.'

WADE

Weasel, you're the world's worst
friend. Betting I'm gonna die?
Tell you what, MF. I'm living to a
hundred-and-two . Like those old
Quaker women on the Today Show*
Drinks on me, soldiers of fortune 1

MERCENARIES

Hoohaht

WADE
(to Weasel)
Got six hundy burning a hole.

VANESSA (O.S.)
Whoa, whoa.

A HAND curls around the side of Weasel's face, FORCING him
away from the bar. The hand is...

... attached to a girl. VANESSA. Brunette. Silver-blue
eyes. Mid 20's. Tank. Ripped jeans.

VANESSA

Sure you wanna shoot your whole
wad?

Wade looks Vanessa up and down. Then holds up his PINKIE .

WADE

Tight.

Vanessa raises her own pinkie. Shakes like a pinkie swear.

VANESSA

Vanessa.

WADE

I'm gonna go out on a limb here.
You, uh, fuck people for money?

VANESSA
Yeah. I do.

WADE

What, then? Rough childhood?

VANESSA
Rougher than you.

(off Wade's skepticism)
Dad left before I was born.

WADE

Dad left before I was conceived ,
VANESSA

Ever had a cigarette put out on
your skin?

WADE

(suddenly serious)
Sorry.

VANESSA

Thanks.

WADE

No, I meant, sorry. Didn't know
there was any other place to put
out a cigarette.

VANESSA
I was molested.

WADE

Me too. Older brother.

VANESSA
Brothers. They took turns.

WADE

I watched my own birthday party
from the keyhole of a locked
closet, which was also my -

VANESSA

Bedroom? Lucky. I slept in a
dishwasher box.

WADE

So you had a dishwasher 1 I didn't

7 of ball gags, brownie mix, and
funhouse mirrors.

SMASH CUT TO:

THE SOUNDS OF TIRELESS, ATHLETIC SEX*



EXT. /INT . 'NO TELL MOTEL'- NIGHT - PAST

A NEON SIGN flickers outside the 'NO TELL MOTEL, '

Inside, WADE and VANESSA go at it like RABBITS,

VANESSA
What was this called again?

WADE

'Grass Stains on the Lederhosen,'
Next we'll try 'The Angry Pirate.'
'The Arabian Goggles,' Maybe even
'The Tobey Maguire.'

VANESSA

How long can you go on like this?!

WADE
(shrugs)
All year?!

We begin the sing-song melody of the Australian kid band
phenom THE WIGGLES' 'ROCKING ON THE SEA.' And.,,

DISSOLVE INTO:

A MONTAGE of images: SEX around the CALENDAR between WADE
and VANESSA/ identified by stereotypical costumes and
accoutrements from each holiday.,,

...and different WEATHER OUTSIDE the WINDOW.

The pair has EASTER SEX (easter eggs, bunny ears).

FOURTH OF JULY SEX (red, white, and blue bunting, sparklers).

And after every vignette, a shot of WADE dropping THREE
HUNDRED MORE DOLLARS on the No Tell Hotel dresser.



25.



At last, the Wiggles fade out. And the last vignette in the
montage turns into an actual SCENE:



INT. NO TELL MOTEL - NIGHT - PAST



A CHRISTMAS WREATH hangs on the motel wall.

WADE walks out of the bathroom and strikes a pose, HANDS on
HIPS. He's wearing a HORRIFYINGLY AWFUL CHRISTMAS SWEATER*
And NO PANTS.

Vanessa is sitting against the bed's HEADBOARD, SHEET pulled
over her, up to her chin.

She quickly lowers the sheet* Revealing an APPALLING
CHRISTMAS SWEATER of her own.



WADE

If your left leg is Thanksgiving,
and your right leg is Christinas,
can I visit you between the
holidays?

VANESSA

Y'know, red's your color. Brings
out the bloodshot in your eyes.

WADE

As much as I'm looking forward to
tacky Christmas sweater sex...

Wade reaches behind. Pulls out a small ENGAGEMENT-RING-LIKE
BOX.



VANESSA

You're not wearing pants. Where
exactly were you hiding that?



WADE
Merry Christmas.

Wade hands her the box and stands there with the look of...
'Open it. Open it!' Vanessa OPENS the box. Inside; THREE
MORE CRISP BENJAMINS*

Vanessa smiles.

VANESSA
And now my gift to you.

She waits a beat, then hands Wade a hundred dollar bill back.

VANESSA

Holiday clearance sale. One third
off,

Vanessa is about to let that be the end of it. But...

VANESSA
Wait. Sorry. There's more.

(a beat)
I love you, Wade Wilson.

Wade stares. Swallows. When he finds his words, they come
out almost TIMID:

WADE

Thought you charged extra for that.

VANESSA
Used to. At my old job.

Wade's eyebrows raise. He points between himself and Vanessa
and back, as if to say, 'You and me? Exclusive?'

She NODS.

Wade BEAMS. For just one moment, his life is actually
PERFECT.

DEADPOOL (V.O.)
Here's the thing. Life is an
endless series of train-wrecks with
only brief, commercial-like breaks
of happiness. This.., had been the
ultimate commercial break. Which
meant it was time to return..*

Wade TOSSES ASIDE his hundred dollar bill, TAKES A CONFIDENT
STEP TOWARD THE BED...

DEADPOOL (V.O.)
...to our regularly scheduled
program.

. . . AND PASSES OUT ON HIS FEET . . .

INT. ONCOLOGY WARD - DAY - PAST



27.



WADE ia sitting in a doctor's office, VANESSA by his aide,
opposite a solemn ONCOLOGIST.

Every image taken in by the camera auggeats BAD NEWS:

A COMPLEX looking MRI IMAGE of the CIRCULATORY SYSTEM on a
BACKLIT VIEWING TABLE.

SWEAT STAINS under Wade's arms.

Vanessa GRIPPING Wade's hand.

Worst of all: the LOOK on the DOCTOR'S FACE.

DOCTOR

People react to news of terminal
cancer differently.

DEADPOOL (V.O*)
Believe it or not, this xb only the
9th ahittie&t thing that'e ever

WADE TURNS AND ADDRESSES CAMERA:

WADE

Wade SNAPS OUT OF IT, turning back to the doctor.

DEADPOOL (V.O.)
Now. If I were a two-hundred-fifty
pound rancid Back of asshole with a
penchant for ruining lives* Where
would I hide?

Deadpool turns his head ever-so-slightly WITHIN the frozen
scene. We follow his gaze...

...to the far shoulder of the freeway, where the final
HELMETED MOTORCYCLE ESCORT, the WILY ONE who neatly dodged
Deadpool' a bullets f is FROZEN in MID-WHEELIE as he begins to
SPEED away.

DEADPOOL

Binao ■

The scene instantly RAMPS UP TO REGULAR SPEED .

The MOTORCYCLE finishes its wheelie, LANDS, and screams AWAY
in a cloud of BLUE SMOKE...

...not forward on the freeway, but BACKWARD, into traffic,
JAMMED BUMPER-to-BUMPER as far as the eye can see.

Deadpool abandons his KATANAS and SPRINTS over to one of the
fallen motorcycles - the one in the best shape.

He jumps on board and STARTS the bike.

DEADPOOL
Maximum effort.

Deadpool TWISTS the THROTTLE, POPPING a WHEELIE of his OWN
and CHASING AFTER the mystery RIDER,

The battle has caused various FENDER-BENDERS and MASS PANIC
on the freeway. People are backing their vehicles up, trying
to pull U-turns, etc., or abandoning their cars altogether.

The MYSTERY RIDER WEAVES through this mess at BREAKNECK
SPEED.

DEADPOOL is hard on his tail, also WEAVING WILDLY. He pulls
alongside, and the bikes begin to GLANCE OFF one another.

The mystery rider HURTLES toward a SEDAN'S BUMPER.

At the last second, he LIFTS his front wheel and drives up
OVER the HOOD, WINDSHIELD, and ROOF. He LAUNCHES HIMSELF and
his BIKE OVER the RAILING of the freeway and OFF the SIDE.,.

. . .PLUMMETING DOWN to a curving elevated FREEWAY passing
underneath at another angle.

DEADPOOL does the same, launching off a PRIUS and...

...PLUNGING down onto the SAME freeway BELOW.

Deadpool and his target are immediately BUFFETED by oncoming
vehicles FLYING at them at tremendous speed.



The rider's bike launches off another VEHICLE and LEAPS over
a railing again...

...down to the NEXT freeway, where traffic SAILS by in an
entirely DIFFERENT direction. Deadpool CHASES.

The motorcycles WAIL as they CASCADE down from ONE FREEWAY to
the NEXT like CHROME WATERFALLS...

Again, Deadpool finds himself breathing down the neck of the
mystery rider. He PULLS ALONGSIDE.

The two TRADE WICKED BLOWS, preoccupied with each other,
failing to spot...

...a WIDE-LOAD HOUSE-ON-THE-BACK-OF-A-TRUCK HURTLING TOWARD
them.



With nowhere to turn, they LEAP off their bikes, which
CARTWHEEL UP and SMASH through the truck's windshield,
pinning the DRIVER against his seat.

The two adversaries SMASH through a WINDOW of the HOUSE...
...and LAND in a LIVING ROOM full of cheesy FURNITURE.
They stand on uncertain legs, look around.



Boom! Deadpool TACKLES the mystery rider. As the TRUCK
SWERVES down the freeway, the pair gets FLUNG around the
house, tumbling into different ROOMS.

The swerving of the truck doesn't affect the BRUTALITY of
this fight. There is some SERIOUS, BONE-JARRING, BLOOD-
LETTING VIOLENCE as Deadpool and the mystery rider...

... spill into a quaint KITCHENETTE, fighting among hanging
POTS and PANS. Deadpool smashes the rider's head through the
glass window of a RONCO SHOWTIME OVEN.



DEADPOOL
This is fucked. Up.




DEADPOOL

place.

DEADPOOL
'Set it and forget it.'

They tumble through a DINING SET and BRAIN themselves on a
GAUDY CHANDELIER*

They soar into a bathroom, CRUNCHING into a TOILET and
MEDICINE CABINET, Pill bottles GO FLYING. DEADPOOL 'S head
lands next to a spilled bottle of PAINKILLERS * He notices
and POPS a COUPLE.

They hurtle into a child's bedroom and wrestle among STUFFED
ANIMALS and CHILDREN'S BEDDING.

DEADPOOL
_I had Gargamel sheets 1

At last, the truck CRASHES into the edge of the freeway and
the HOUSE RIPS off its MOORINGS and TUMBLES OVER THE SIDE.

Deadpool's entire world goes SPINNING.

The house SMASHES onto the next FREEWAY DOWN, and Deadpool
and the RIDER are THROWN CLEAR, out a window and onto
CONCRETE *

The rider SHAKES OFF STARS and RUNS right into oncoming
traffic .

Deadpool CHASES him.

Cars SPIN and CRASH. PEOPLE bail out.

The rider draws two PISTOLS, but Deadpool ANKLE-TACKLES him.
The PISTOLS go FLYING.

Deadpool and the rider each scoop up a pistol.

The RIDER opens a car door, grabs a LITTLE BOY, and holds his
pistol to the boy's head.

DEADPOOL REACTS by...

...opening ANOTHER car door, grabbing a LITTLE GIRL, and
holding HIS pistol to HER head.

DEADPOOL
(looks down, to girl:)
Sweet kicks I Heelys?

At last, the rider DITCHES the little boy, Deadpool DITCHES
the little girl, who SLIDES back away on her HEELYS,
terrified.

The two aim the PISTOLS at ONE ANOTHER. Stare each other
down, fingers on triggers.

But the rider doesn't notice a SEMI-TRUCK bearing down on him
from behind.



DEADPOOL

This reminds me of my Peepaw. He
used to love ice cream. But his
doctors wouldn't let him eat it.
So whenever anyone had a cone, he'd
distract them and take a lick.
Y'know, point over their shoulder
and say something like...

(pauses to time it right)
'Look out behind you I'

ON CUE, the rider gets BRAINED in the HELMET from BEHIND by
the SIDE-VIEW MIRROR of the SEMI.



Deadpool winces.

Deadpool DRAGS the rider to the side of the freeway and PROPS
him up against the railing.

The rider COMES TO. Deadpool looms over him.

DEADPOOL
Always were a bit of a feeb,
Francis .

(off rider's reaction)
Bells? No? How 'bout now ?

Deadpool slowly peels OFF his mask, from the tip of his chin
to the top of his head, revealing...

...THE FACE OF THE FORMER WADE WILSON. HE'S NO LONGER A
HANDSOME YOUNG MAN.



HIS SKIN BEARS LARGE, UNNATURAL SCARS.



The camera PUSHES in.



FRANCIS (O.S.)

Deadpool suddenly notices an enormous SHADOW passing over
himself and Francis from BEHIND * He blinks.

DEADPOOL

Deadpool SPINS just in time to see a MASSIVE CHROME HAND grab
him by the scruff of the neck and YANK him BACKWARD.

Deadpool WHIPS through the air with sheer, violent FORCE.
The action FREEZES AGAIN with him head-over-heels . . .

DEADPOOL (V.O.)

A little piece of me curled up and
died the day this came out.

We PULL OUT to reveal that Wade is referring NOT to the

He tosses the LP into a near-full TRASH CAN, right on TOP of

The NURSE reappears and leads the MOTHER and her BOY down the

She OPENS the door and immediately lets out a CRY, stabbing
out her arm to prevent the mother and boy from seeing that,**

DOCTOR DELGADO is lying shirtless on the operating table:

WADE has one hand firmly CLAMPED over the doctor's mouth,.*

•••and the other BURIED past the wrist in the doctor's CHEST.

Wade is sucking on TWO Kiwi Strawberry Chupachups.

Wade pulls out his hand, in which he holds the doctor's STILL-
BEATING HEART. Wade's eyes are LIT UP with menace.

WADE

WADE, a shell of his former self, watches an oblivious,
lonesome VANESSA through the window of her first-floor
apartment .

At last, he sheepishly drags himself to the front door. He
squares his shoulders, trying to muster his courage:

WADE

Maximum effort.

But try as he might, he can't make himself knock. He turns
heel. And SLINKS AWAY .

But FRANCIS has taken the opportunity and SCRAMMED.

Deadpool turns back to Colossus with a LOOK that could KILL:

DEADPOOL
That does it.

DEADPOOL BUM-RUSHES Colosaus and POUNDS him across the face
with a brutal fist... CLANG...

...instantly BREAKING his own WRIST.

DEADPOOL
Ooooo-rlando Jones.

Deadpool fires an UPPERCUT with his OTHER FIST... BANG...

...BREAKING that wrist, too.

DEADPOOL



Gah.

Deadpool backs off Colossus and holds up two little limp
wrists like an effeminate boxer.

DEADPOOL
I promise. This gets worse for
you.

Colossus SIGHS. Deadpool CIRCLES him.

DEADPOOL
(re: useless wrists)
All the dinosaurs feared the T-Rex.

Deadpool abandons the use of his arms and throws a ROUNDHOUSE
KICK at Colossus. He... CRACK...

...BREAKS HIS OWN ANKLE. It's suddenly BENT at an entirely
INAPPROPRIATE ANGLE.

Deadpool GRIMACES as he tries to BEND his ankle back to
straight with two already damaged hands.

DEADPOOL
You're on my last nerve.

The ankle turns in a FULL CIRCLE. CRAAACK. Now it's headed
in a DIFFERENT direction... just as WRONG.

B00M1 The word isn't even out of Deadpool's mouth when
Colossus HITS him with a RIGHT HOOK so HARD, so DEVASTATING,
that Deadpool's chin leads his body in a TWIST as blinding as

Deadpool's VERTEBRAE CRACK like Styrofoam bubbles from neck

He bites asphalt, dazed.

Colossus PICKS HIM UP like a bag of flour and HEAVES him into

Deadpool WRITHES on the ground like an earthworm with a hook

both hands, SPINS in CIRCLES like he's performing a HAMMER
THROW. . .

...and WHIPS him into a BUS. CRUNCH 1

Deadpool now lies MOTIONLESS/ SPREAD-EAGLED on the concrete.

Colossus walks over and pulls out a MODIFIED SET OF
HANDCUFFS. He slaps ONE CUFF on his own wrist... and the
OTHER on Deadpool's.

Then Colossus raises his arm and CARRIES Deadpool by the

KICKING OFF Colossus 'a torso with his one good foot and
SWINGING in a circle until he HANGS over the EDGE of the

There is still one more freeway BELOW this one, some forty

Before Colossus can react, Deadpool WHIPS OUT a KNIFE...

INT. WORKSHOP - NIGHT - PAST

The PAST AGAIN. A sickly WADE, covered only by a FLIMSY
HOSPITAL GOWN, is SHOVED BACKWARD onto a STRETCHER and
WHEELED through an old HOSPITAL WARD.

The 'Workshop,' as Wade's new home is affectionately called,
has been converted from this old ward into a working
LABORATORY.

WADE is being wheeled through a vast room containing two rows
of tall individual 'tents,' each containing an experimental
SUBJECT,

46,



A FELLOW PATIENT, a pathetic, terrified little man named
WORM, is wheeled past Wade, restrained on another STRETCHER.
Worm briefly locks eyes with Wade, but quickly moves on by.

The tents are illuminated by BLINDING overhead lights. And
filled with GRUESOMELY INTIMIDATING MEDICAL EQUIPMENT*

Wade is wheeled into the particular tent that is his new
home.

The THREE FIGURES who were pushing Wade now DUMP him from the
stretcher onto a CHROME OPERATING TABLE. They LOOM over him,
roughly STRAPPING him down.

WADE

My first request? A warmer table.

(shivers)
And warmer hands, fellas.

Wade DOUBLE-TAKES at the sight of the two forearms /hands
clamped to his left wrist. They're not f lesh-and-blood, but
ROBOTIC APPENDAGES, attached above the elbow to GARRISON
KANE, a sadistic male orderly.

Kane also has robotic prosthetic legs and a bionic EYE.

WADE

Lose your sense-of-humor with all
the other parts?

Forcing Wade's right arm down is SLUGGO, a superhumanly sized
and muscled GOON, running 6 '9", 400 pounds easy.

WADE

And you're the brains?

A THIRD orderly has been overseeing the other two, a wiry
little anger-management candidate named WYRE.

There's an UNLIT MATCHSTICK protruding from Wyre's teeth at
all times. It's his idea of a TOOTHPICK, and he occasionally
replaces it from a MATCH-BOX he keeps in his shirt pocket.

WADE
{ re ! match )
Choad substitute?

Wyre THROTTLES Wade around the Adam's apple.

WYRE

Shut the fuck up.

Wyre magically spools INORGANIC THREAD from the TIPS of his
FINGERS, tying Wade's NECK tight to the table*

WADE

Fine, But you'll tell me when I'm
a super- hero?

AJAX (O.S.)
Sure we will, Wade.

The other three men RECEDE from the tent, replaced by AJAX,
the face of the Workshop, a highly unsettling man - whip-
smart, tightly coiled, with cool, dead blue eyes,



WADE

Can I expect turndown servi- ?

BOOM! Ajax violently GAGS Wade with a length of SURGICAL
TUBING, tying it so tightly under the table that Wade's head
is perfectly IMMOBILIZED.



AJAX
You're a talker.



Wade's eyes are suddenly wide. WTP?



AJAX

Wade, my name is Ajax, I manage

the Workshop* This speech used to ^%
be full of euphemisms like 'You may 1
feel some discomfort,' and 'This
might hurt a little,' But I've
grown blunt.



Ajax SHARPENS a scalpel.



AJAX

The Workshop is a private
institution tasked with turning
reclamation projects like yourself
into men of extraordinary
abilities. If you think cancer
cures painlessly, you're wrong. If
you think super-human powers are
acquired painlessly, wrong.



Ajax touches Wade's skin with the end of the scalpel,
pressing here and there... just SHY of hard enough to draw
blood.



AJAX

You've heard the whole make-an-
omelette, break-some-eggs bit? I'm
about to hurt you, Wade. The kind
of hurt I can't describe and you
can't prepare for. You're gonna
feel it your cells. In your heart.

AJAX (CONT'D)



It's cruel stuff. It is* And
there's no way out for you* No
secret you can tell me to stop. No
soft spot in my heart to appeal to.
The facts are. You're gonna lie
there* And I'm gonna torture you
stupid .



Ajax starts to TURN AWAY, but stops*



One more thing* What's the ad?
'I'm not just the president. I'm a
client?' I once lay where you lie*
The Workshop used a microscopic
torch to cauterize every nerve
ending in my body* Imagine what
that was like. But thanks to the
procedure, I no longer feel pain*
Shit. ..

(toothy smile)
***I no longer feel anything.



Wade reacts by SAYING something - made completely GARBLED and
UNINTELLIGIBLE by the surgical tubing in his mouth*

Ajax stares. Wade REPEATS it.

Ajax suddenly uses the scalpel to SLICE the surgical tubing.
It SNAPS to either side, FREEING Wade to TALK.



Ajax smiles WITHOUT opening his mouth this time. Then walks
out of the tent.

Outside the tent, Ajax hesitates, then can't help but check
his teeth in the reflection of a chrome tray*



Made you lookl Hey, is Ajax your
real name? 'Cause it sounds
suspiciously made up. What's it
really? Steve? Mark? Todd?
Kyle?



Ajax finds himself staring at KANE, SLUGGO, and WYRE in the
larger ward. Wyre chews his MATCH with interest.

Have you watched the dolphins

...juxtaposed with HARROWING VIGNETTES of KANE, SLUGGO, WYRE,

life . . .

...as he GASPS, CLAWS, SCREAMS BLOODY MURDER*

Wade is INJECTED with NEEDLES as long as car antennae.

OPENED UP by appendages of Kane's that look like giant
DENTIST ' S TOOLS.

DUNKED into thick, molasses-like LIQUID.

We also see SHORT, ULTRA-FAST MINI -MONTAGES of simpler
medical images - liquid plunging into syringes , surgical
tubing tying tight, scalpels slicing, needles sewing, staple
guns puncturing, veins throbbing - which punctuate the
vignettes, implying the PASSAGE of TIME.

During the vignettes, Wade keeps gamely asking his tormentors
the same question, with disturbingly less strength and energy
each times

WADE

Am I a super-hero now?

(later)
How 'bout now?

(later)

Am I a super-hero now? Now?

JOHN DENVER
I want to be... I want to live!

At last, Wade is laid back down on his chrome table, not
unlike when he first arrived at the workshop, only now in
QUIET DARKNESS, and WITHOUT ANY RESISTANCE whatsoever.

WADE

(distant, meek, in the
dark)

Can you hear me now?

To finish the sequence, we take Wade's POINT-OF-VIEW again.
A KINDLY- looking DOCTOR enters the room and gazes down on
him.

The doctor is almost avuncular, sporting thick glasses and a
protruding belly.

He gently brushes the hair off Wade's forehead.

stretcher through the Workshop, in between the rows of tents.

WORM

give up on you.

Suddenly, a VOICE calls out from a passing tent:

Ajax is very subtly SURPRISED. WHAT did Wade just say?

Francis. F-R-A-N-C^I~Shit? 1

tent. Ajax's expression tells us all we need to know about
the validity of Wade's claim. AJAX and the 'FRANCIS' from
the FREEWAY. . ,

...are ONE and the SAME*

With as much freedom of motion as he has in one hand, Wade
WAVES a STUB of PAPER at Francis.

GARRISON KANE, SLUGGO, and WYRE finish attaching multiple
ELECTRODES to WADE's head and chest. Wade is now STRAPPED to
a HOSPITAL BED that's entirely ENCASED in a large CAPSULE of
PLEXIGLAS.



The top half of the capsule is hinged to one side, OPEN,
allowing the orderlies access to Wade.



AJAX supervises:



AJAX

The idea for this recently came to
me. I don't have a name for it.



Various WIRES and TUBES run out of the capsule...

...connected to OXYGEN TANKS, OXYGEN DIALS, and a MONITOR
that tracks BRAIN-WAVES and HEART-RATE.



AJAX

The trick is to lower the oxygen
concentration in Wade's air to the
exact point he feels like he's
suffocating. If his brain waves
slow, meaning he's about to pass
out, we turn up the 02. If his
heart rate slows , meaning he's able
to catch his breath, we turn it
back down. And then we leave him.

And by LAIR, we mean mid-city DUPLEX.

Borderline ghetto. Semi- furnished, 'first apartment'

IKEA. . - everywhere .

An old WOMAN - late seventies - purple floral dress with lace

might KNIT.

Instead, this old woman takes out a wicked- looking pair of

Swedish furniture maker - the 'UMSTADT SHELVING UNIT. '

Once the box is destroyed, she lays out its components and
tools on the coffee table...

. . .made more difficult by the fact that she is completely
BLIND. This is Deadpool's roommate, BLIND AL*

Suddenly, Blind Al's KEEN EAR picks up a faint, telltale
sound: DRIPPING. She cocks her head to LISTEN.

ANGLE ON:



THE FRONT YARD.

Dirt. No grass. '93 Chevy Avon up on BLOCKS. An exhausted
DEADPOOL is slumped against his own front door. Red suit.

No mask. No right ARM* BLOOD dripping from the stump -
plop, plop, plop - onto the stoop.



THE LIVING ROOM.

Blind Al shakes her head. Stands up in comfy creme nursing
shoes. Grabs her red-tipped CANE. And totters toward the
front door. • *

...when she is TRIPPED by the passing ROOMBA.



DEADPOOL (O.S.)
(from outside)
Let's get ready to Rooooooomba!

BLIND AL
(under breath)
Ass -hat.



Al SWINGS her cane angrily, again and again, trying to hit
the robotic vacuum, which moves happily just out of reach.

She manages to rise to her knees and stretch out for the
front door, when...

DEADPOOL SPRINGS it open from outside. SLAMMING it into her
HEAD. Blind Al goes down again.



Morning , roomie !
{sniffs}

Fuck- This place reeks like old
lady pants.

BLIND AL
(still supine)
Yes. I'm old. I wear pantsuits.

DEADPOOL
But you're no lady.



DEADPOOL is SPLAYED OUT on a white futon, MOANING, nursing
his horrifying wound.

Yup. Bactine should do it.

BLIND AL is back on the ratty couch, applying the finishing
touches to the shelving unit*

BLIND AL

Thank Christ I can't see all this
Ikea.

Blind Al turns the final screw. Sits back, beyond
unenthusiastic .

BLIND AL

Ta. Dah.

The shelves look like the Leaning Tower of Fiza in shitty
white particle board. Deadpool TOSSES an IKEA CATALOGUE on
top. The Umstadt COLLAPSES.

BLIND AL

I wish I'd never heard of Craig's
List.

DEADPOOL ^\
And I quote: 'Looking for '
roommate. Blind to life's
imperfections. Must be good with
hands . ' Or wouldya rather 1 build

BLIND AL
Why such a douche?

DEADPOOL
Let's recap. That fucker who
turned me into this ass-ugly
monster... the one I've been
waiting five fucking years for...
slipped through my arm today. Arm .

Deadpool holds up his stump. A little infant ARM is emerging
off it. Yes. Deadpool can GROW BACK LIMBS.

DEADPOOL

He was my only chance at ever being
normal again. Meantime, the girl I
love - not you - wouldn't fuck me

Deadpool straightens a HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL on his leg with **\

DEADPOOL

BLIND AL

I'm gonna find this 'Craig.' And
I'm gonna kill him.



INT. DEADPOOL ' S ROOM - AFTERNOON - PRESENT

Deadpool uses his new little arm to SLAM SHUT the door to his
room. He crashes on his upper BUNK (yes, he has Ikea BUNK
BEDS... almost as poorly constructed as that shelving unit)
and gazes at his WALL.

Stuck to it... with KNIVES... are various Men's Health and GQ
HEADLINES devoted to beauty. What a scrawny teenager wishing
he were CHARLES ATLAS might have:

A VISION BOARD.

Front and center: HUGH JACKMAN's Sexiest Man Alive cover.

Deadpool pulls a knife out of the board, retrieving an old
PHOTOGRAPH of him and Vanessa. In happier times. Wearing
Christmas sweaters. Pantless.

He stares at it. The knife blade REFLECTS his scarred face.

Wade turns the knife so as not to have to look at himself,
and the blade REFLECTS the BRIGHT CEILING LAMP into his eyes.

Wade's pupils DILATE, and we PUSH all the way IN on them..,

...to BLACK.



INT. /EXT. WORKSHOP - NIGHT - PAST

Wade's PUPILS CONSTRICT again, to DOTS, and we pull BACK...
to his scarred face, covered in flop-sweat, frozen in a
rictus of terror. And back FURTHER through the Plexiglas...

EXT, PARKING LOT - NIGHT - PAST

Wyre EXITS the ward for the night and walks across the
parking lot- As he starts his car, he SPITS out his habitual
matchstick and reaches into his shirt pocket for ANOTHER, * •

...only to realize he's ALL OUT*



INT. WORKSHOP - NIGHT - PAST

DEADPOOL (V.Q.)
But ya did give me something to
look forward to**.

Back inside the Punch Bowl, Wade OPENS his MOUTH... within
which he was HIDING a SINGLE MATCHSTICK, clenched carefully -
dryly - between his teeth.

He uses his tongue to rotate the RED TIP of the match
outward • • .

...then turns his head to one side...

.♦.touches the red tip to a metal HINGE on the bed...

...and WHIPS his head from left to right, STRIKING the MATCH.

He immediately LOWERS it toward the tiny HOLE in the side of
the Punch Bowl through which OXYGEN flows.

The flame COMBUSTS the tiny stream of oxygen, IGNITING it in
a TRAIL . . .

...back through the TRANSPARENT PLASTIC TUBE that trails
outside the Punch Bowl.

The flame SNAKES through the COILS of the tube, this way and
that, until it reaches the large OXYGEN TANK standing next to
the Punch Bowl.

A beat, and then...

. , .the TANK EXPLODES .

The Punch Bowl is BLOWN APART, and the frame of the hospital
bed SNAPS in TWO.

Out in the ward, the FIREBALL curls outward, spreading from
TENT to TENT. BOOM1 BOOM! Other flammable tanks DETONATE.

The tents GO UP like ROMAN CANDLES * It's now MASS CHAOS *

ALARMS BLARE. Flames LEAP. Smoke BILLOWS. Patients FLEE.

GARRISON KANE and SLUGGO run down the center of the ward,
where they are BLOWN off their feet by a MASSIVE EXPLOSION.



SLO-MO on a CURTAIN of FIRE which suddenly DISPERSES from the
center out, replaced by the billowing WHITE SMOKE of an OVER-
SIZED CHROME FIRE EXTINGUISHER* * .

, ..held by AJAX, who STRIDES grimly toward the tent that
housed Wade. REGULAR SPEED as he throws back the burning
fabric • • .

...and nearly EATS an OXYGEN TANK. He BLOCKS it at the last
moment with his FIRE EXTINGUISHER. CLANG.

On the other end of the oxygen tank, WINDMILLING it with
unbridled FEROCITY, is WADE.

WADE and AJAX stand toe-to-toe, SWINGING the oxygen tank and
fire extinguisher like modern day CLUBS, trying to take off
each other's heads.

CLANG 1 BANG I BAM! The tanks COLLIDE in mid-air. Totally
BONE- JARRING.

CRACK. Ajax's fingers get CRUNCHED between metal. He
doesn't even feel it.

At last, Wade grabs the HOSE of Ajax's fire extinguisher,
angles it up, and gets his finger on the TRIGGER.

The extinguisher BLASTS. Ajax is momentarily BLINDED.

Wade brings the oxygen tank down from on high like a
LUMBERJACK'S AXE. Ajax BLOCKS it, but is driven to his
KNEES.

Wade's eyes are lit with fire. DOWN the tank COMES, again
and AGAIN. Ajax takes his own fire extinguisher to the CHIN.
Then catches a BLOW from the oxygen TANK to his TEMPLE.

The extinguisher goes FLYING.

WADE

(a la Keith Jackson)
Fumbllllel

Ajax looks up, dazed, half -conscious, suddenly helpless.

WADE

One question. To make sure you're
still responsive.

(whispers in Ajax's ear)

Wade straddles Ajax'e CHEST and holds up a SCALPEL.

AJAX

You can't kill me. I'm the only
one who can fix that face.

WADE

Well aware. But first. Let's fix
yours .

Wade GRABS Ajax and starts CARVING something into his
FOREHEAD.

WADE

Lemme guess. You don't feel a
thing.

Wade finishes carving, tosses the scalpel, and HOISTS Ajax
over his SHOULDERS in a FIREMAN'S CARRY.

WADE

I got next. Let's go turn me back
to beautiful.

Wade carries Ajax down the ward. But best laid plans... the
ROOF suddenly COLLAPSES, BURYING the two in a PILE of BURNING
RUBBLE.

Wade manages to stand in the debris. He spies Ajax lying
nearby. But before Wade can grab him again, he's interrupted
by the sight of FIREFIGHTERS and POLICE rushing at him from
either direction.

Anguished, Wade looks left, right, and is finally forced to
ABANDON Ajax... and RUN.

Wade sprints until he spies a hole in the wall. He's nearly
through it when he hears a VOICE.

WORM (O.S.)
Wade! Wada l

Wade spies pathetic, little WORM still strapped to his bed,
half -buried in RUBBLE.

WORM

Kill me. Please...
Wade picks up an OXYGEN TANK and steels himself.

WADE

You deserved better, Worm* • •
Wade lifts the tank and BRINGS it DOWN on Worm's HEAD.

We hear an OFF-SCREEN CRACK. And it 'a OVER. Hade BOLTS
before a wave of onrushing COPS and FIREMEN.



63.



Wade DISAPPEARS through a CLOUD of SMOKE, which appears to
SWALLOW him for good.

DISSOLVE TO:



EXT. CITY STREET - MORNING - PAST
SOOT . SMOKE . WATER . GRIME .

WADE watches from the shadows of an alley as the FIREMEN put
out the final flames of the Workshop fire. The building is a
BLACKENED HUSK of its former self.

You could say the same of AJAX, who has been HANDCUFFED and
is unceremoniously STUFFED into the back of a COP CAR.

The prowler containing Ajax pulls past Wade's ALLEY. Wade
steps back into the shadows, watching helplessly as his PREY
recedes into the distance.

As Wade turns to go, he spies his hideous REFLECTION in a
PUDDLE left by the firemen. He stares, then STEPS in the
PUDDLE. As the water RIPPLES, distorting the face even
further, we, , .

DISSOLVE TO:



EXT. CITY STREET - DAY - PAST

...from the POINT-OF-VIEW of an as-yet-unseen PEDESTRIAN.

An ELDERLY WOMAN with a WALKER shuffles hurriedly away. A
CHILD STARES from a bus window. A DOG stops in its tracks,
mid-FETCH. Bares its teeth. Barks WILDLY. A TODDLER in a
STROLLER BURSTS INTO TEARS. His MOTHER pulls down the
sunshade. Hustles him across the street.

WADE (O.S.)
Never seen Puppetry of the Penis? I

At last the camera swoops around 180 degrees to reveal WADE,
a walking TRAIN-WRECK, scarred face on display, taking long
swigs off a BOTTLE of BOONE 's FARM.

WADE rises into frame, a few INCHES at a time, on a wooden
WINDOW-WASHING PLATFORM, • * which he is raising to the top of
a FIFTY-STORY OFFICE BUILDING. . .

. . .via PULLEY.

DEADPOOL (V*0. )
Naked tandem base-jumping with the
WNBA's Sacramento Monarchs*

AAAHH. Wade JUMPS, PLUMMETING for what seems like forever...
into an ALLEY fifty stories down.

We watch from the window-washing scaffold as he SPLATS onto
the PAVEMENT between two dumpsters.

We continue to watch from on high: the body remains still,
but the rest of the city begins to move in TIME-LAPSE ULTRA-
FAST MOTION.

Cars and pedestrians ZOOM around. SHADOWS of CLOUDS pass
over. DAY turns to NIGHT.

And all the while, the camera slowly DESCENDS from the
fiftieth story to just above the street.

When Wade's body nearly FILLS the frame, the action SLOWS to
REGULAR SPEED again.

A RAT tentatively approaches and begins to NIBBLE on Wade's

Without warning, Wade's 'corpse' TWITCHES .

Wade kicks. The rat scurries away.

Wade bats his eyelids, closes them peacefully again, then
OPENS THEM WIDE*

He looks around him, then UP, DOWN, around him again* Begins
to run his hands over his body, exploring for serious
injuries. NOT A SCRATCH.

The camera descends through the quiet night air toward the

WADE stands directly under a tall JUNKYARD CRANE- Dangling
from the crane is a massive MAGNET whose electromagnetic
force holds up a TANGLE of heavy METALLIC JUNK - AN OLD CAR,

WADE takes out a PISTOL and shoots the crane's CONTROL PANEL,

EXT. ZOO - DAY - PAST

At the ZOO, Japanese TOURISTS watch as WADE CANNON-BALLS into
the POLAR BEAR ENCLOSURE. TWO POLAR BEARS maul him.



INT. SUBWAY - DAY - PAST

We're on a moving SUBWAY with various COMMUTERS . They sneak
alarmed GLIMPSES of a MAN turning the PAGES of a NEWSPAPER.

The man LOWERS HIS NEWSPAPER. The WOMAN across from him
CRIES OUT, shocked by what she sees:

WADE is wearing a picture of HUGH JACKMAN torn from the pages
of People Magazine's 2008 'Sexiest Man Alive' STAPLED to his
FACE. Blood at the pierce points. The mouth and eyes cut
out. A DIME-STORE TOUPEE on top.

Wade sets down the paper, opens the subway WINDOW, sticks his
head out, and gets OBLITERATED by a SUBWAY screaming the
OTHER WAY. The commuters ERUPT in shocked PANDEMONIUM .

INT. COSTUME STORE - DAY - PAST

WADE sifts through various MASKS in the back of a costume
store. For shits and giggles, he puts his fist inside a
SPIDER-MAN MASK.

He stares at the mask a moment. Then, on a hunch, turns it
INSIDE OUT . The inside of the mask is RED. With BLACK

Gabe reaches down to pick it up. Frowns upon reading his own

GARRISON KANE raises one PROSTHETIC ARM. The 'hand' suddenly

B00M1 BOOM!



The patrons SCRAMBLE for their guns and start firing back,
but they're already fighting a LOSING BATTLE*

SLUGGO makes it a LITERAL BAR FIGHT by tearing out an ENTIRE

Garrison Kane fires MORE RPGs, and uses a second CLAW-LIKE
APPENDAGE to BREAK BONES like MATCHSTICKS.

SLUGGO is crazy strong, TEARING DOWN THE ROOM*

WYRE uses wires to WHIP people around, left and right*

It's complete, devastating CHAOS.

Then, just as quickly as it began, it's OVER* Ajax surveys
the wreckage, the motionless bodies, the flames, the smoke..*

...and NOTICES a TABLE - once still - move across the floor
of its own accord - then fall STILL - then MOVE again*

A shell-shocked Weasel is hiding under a TABLE, wearing it on
his back like a turtle SHELL to conceal himself as he
scurries toward the exit*..

. . .where he is MET by AJAX, who PLUCKS him from under the
table and PLOPS him on TOP of it.

AJAX

Whoever had you lost big* Little

Ajax turns toward one of the only things left in Sister
Margaret's after all the destruction;

The MIRROR behind the BAR.

AJAX

Oh, and if you lay eyes on Wade
Wilson - sorry if you do ~ tell him
we're coming*

Ajax brushes his own HAIR off his FOREHEAD, REVEALING for the
first time the SCARS carved into his skin by Wade long ago.

The markings are REVERSED and BACKWARD. It's not until the
camera swivels AROUND Ajax to catch his REFLECTION in the
MIRROR that we can read them...

...in the style of a 'nametag':

HELLO 1 MY NAME IS... FRANCIS.

DEADPOOL (V.O.)
So that's what the Workshop had in
mind all along. . .



75.



DISSOLVE TO:



EXTREME-SLO-MOTION IMAGES , almost POST-CARD-esque , of
GARRISON KANE, SLUGGO, AND WYRE performing ASSASSINATIONS of
every shape and size around the city*



DEADPOOL (V*0.)
. * .monopolizing and corporatizing
mercenary work* *Scuse me. Super -
mercenary work: these ain't the
wayward girls of Sister Margaret's*
And there ain't no code*



SLUGGO throws a STATE SENATOR'S LIMO, with the terrified
SENATOR (lipstick all over his face) and his MISTRESS
(equally disheveled) in the back seat, off a BRIDGE.

GARRISON KANE has a FLAMETHROWER for an appendage. He TOASTS
a MAN TRAPPED inside a PHONE BOOTH with thick BLUE FLAME.



A WO MAN is being HANGED by the neck, off the edge of a FERRIS
WHEEL BUCKET, by wires dripping from WYRE's FINGERS.

AJAX DROWNS a man FACE-FIRST in a DOG DISH of WATER, with one
well-placed BOOT to the back of the neck. The man's DOG
barks wildly on the other end of the LEASH.

As these images finish dissolving into one another, we FADE
TO BLACK.



INT. STRIP CLUB - NIGHT

WYRE sits at a bar in a GLAMMED-UP STRIP CLUB, matchstick-in-
mouth, throwing down SHOTS and HUNDRED-DOLLAR BILLS,

A SMOKING-HOT STRIPPER approaches, RUBS his belt buckle.

STRIPPER
Lonely little lap...

Wyre SMILES at her and makes the matchstick in his mouth RISE
suggestively from six o'clock... to MIDNIGHT.



INT. BACK ROOM - NIGHT



WYRE sits on a wooden chair in a back room, the STRIPPER
STRADDLING him, going to town.

There is a KNOCK at the DOOR. Followed fay MORE PERSISTENT
KNOCKING, wyre snaps out of his reverie , annoyed.

Suddenly , the door SWINGS OPEN.

Now IRATE, wyre turns his head around to see...

WEASEL

Looking for a mop. Got a spill on
aisle three.

DEADPOOL (O.S.)
FYI. If I'm sitting in a guy's
lap, it usually means I'm working.

Wyre's eyes widen as he turns back to find DEADPOOL SITTING
in his LAP, the shocked stripper SHOVED to one side.

The stripper runs PAST Weasel, who closes the door again.

Wyre raises a fist and GRABS DEADPOOL by the lapel. Deadpool
wags a finger, playing the part of the 'stripper.'

DEADPOOL
Never touch.

Deadpool THROTTLES Wyre right back. Wyre instantly shoots
WIRES from his fingers, wrapping them around Deadpool 's NECK
and SHOVING him back against the wall.

Which is when we hear that lovely, tell-tale sound:

The DRAWING of KATANAS.

Deadpool brings the blades down in an 'X, ' slicing through
the wires and freeing himself.

Wyre FIRES WIRES from ALL TEN FINGERS like SPIDER-HAN

shooting webs, but Deadpool starts to swing his katanas as
only Deadpool can:

A CUISINART of spinning steel.

The blades TWIRL SO FAST, they resemble PROPELLERS. Wire
flies left and right, SHREDDED like coleslaw.

Every time Wyre manages to snag one of Deadpool 's limbs, the
BLADES immediately cut the cords.

Deadpool closes in on Wyre, until...

...in SLO-MO, a blade SLICES DOWN and CUTS the MATCHSTICK
between Wyre's lips in TWO.

With blinding quickness, Deadpool turns the BLUNT LEATHER
GRIP of one blade forward and BASHES it again and again into
Wyre's face like an ICE-PICK.

Wyre falls to his back, face turned to HAMBURGER/ DAZED.

Deadpool uses the two katanas to lift Wyre's wooden chair
INTO the AIR* He sends it spinning, then SWINGS the SWORDS
through it, SLICING it into splintered WOODEN PIECES.

Deadpool GRABS one of the CHAIR LEGS out of the AIR, SITS on
WYRE's CHEST, and GAGS Wyre with it,

DEADPOOL

You always liked a little wood in
your mouth. Best case scenario:
You tell me where I can find
Francis, He cures me. And you
live. Best case.

Deadpool removes the chair leg from Wyre's teeth.

WYRE

You'll have to kill me first.

For just an instant, Deadpool turns and looks into CAMERA.
Then:

DEADPOOL
So we agree on worst case.

Without ceremony or hesitation, Deadpool raises a KATANA and
STABS DOWNWARD. BOOM! BLACK.

EMCEE (O.S.)
Coming onto the stage, give it up
for. . . chastityl



INT. STRIP CLUB - NIGHT

DEADPOOL strides toward the main stage to grab WEASEL - a red
blur amongst the throbbing blue lights.

DEADPOOL

y'know, finds the bloody dead guy.

Deadpool starts to turn, then STOPS, STARING incredulously,
his ATTENTION DRAWN to something astonishing:

DEADPOOL (V.O.)
Oh* My* God* It couldn't be*
But It was * Even after five long
years*** I never forget a face,

STEREOTYPICAL ROMANTIC MUSIC SWELLS:

REVERSE ANGLE to reveal what Deadpool is looking at: a
STRIPPER'S ASS, UP in the AIR for all to see, as she bends
over a pole* Back to Deadpool:

DEADPOOL (V.O*)
Or one of those*

And back to the STRIPPER, who turns around on-stage to reveal
her face;

VANESSA.

Deadpool BLINKS and GULPS, then grabs Weasel and MELTS into
the CROWD*

DISSOLVE TO:



EXT. /INT. HOTEL - NIGHT

An ALMOST- FANCY HOTEL looms quietly over the city.

VANESSA (O.S.)
Knock, knock.

We find ourselves in a fourteenth-floor HALLWAY*

Vanessa's HAND pushes the DOOR to SUITE 1427 opens ever so
slightly.., shedding a sliver of light on a mysterious MAN
sitting across the room in the shadows.

AMY WINEHOUSE plays on the TV.

VANESSA enters the room and SHUTS the door behind her.

The man uses a REMOTE to turn the TV OFF,

VANESSA
Supposed to say who's there.

Vanessa laughs at her own corny joke, then walks forward.

VANESSA

Coupla ground rules, Mr. Reynolds.
Burt, right?

(the man nods)
Put your hands where I can see 'em,
Stroker Ace. And money up front.

The man points to the dresser. Sitting on top is a small
ENGAGEMENT-RING-LIKE BOX.

The box looks strangely FAMILIAR to Vanessa.

She cautiously walks over, looks: it's EXACTLY like the one
Wade gave her during Christmas sweater sex many years ago.

Vanessa slowly OPENS the box to discover three crisp HUNDRED
DOLLAR BILLS.

She looks up tremulously at the man in the shadows.

His chest heaves with anxiety.

VANESSA
Is that. - - you?

Vanessa reaches for the light.

The window is open. The man is GONE.

DEADPOOL (V.O*)

DEADPOOL is again lying on the freshly blood-stained futon,
GASH on his forehead, BROKEN LEG, recovering. Depressed.
Elbow deep in a pint of Chunky Monkey.

BLIND AL is all-hands-on-deck with the Leksvik four-drawer

DEADPOOL

Deadpool goes back to watching DR. PHIL DRONE on about love.



DR. PHIL

exercise this power every day.
Make today a choosing day.

DEADPOOL

Give me one minute alone with this

BLIND AL
But he's right.



DEADPOOL

He's gonna make me better. And
things will go back to how they
used to be. When it was just

We see dissolving images of all the good times WADE (the
unblemished young man we first met) and VANESSA shared
together, or as the case may be, didn't share:



EXT* AMUSEMENT PARK - DAY - FAST

WADE wins VANESSA a MASSIVE stuffed KOALA at the amusement
park, which then sits uncomfortably BETWEEN them on the
MOTORCYCLE ride home. It looks like Vanessa is treating the
bear to 69*



EXT. PARK - DAY - FAST

WADE and VANESSA smooch in a ROWBOAT* A BLUEBIRD on his
shoulder. FISH and FROGS jump over them.



INT. BEACH HOUSE - DAY - PAST

WADE and VANESSA boil LOBSTERS together. They do a CONGA
LINE with two of the lobsters, twirling their claws and
waving them to either side.



EXT. BEACH - DAY - PAST

WADE and VANESSA bareback a UNICORN. BUBBLES fill the
screen .



INT. BEDROOM - DAY - PAST

WADE undresses after exercise and VANESSA emerges after a
shower. They mistakenly CRASH into one another and fall to
the floor, then realize they are holding each other BUCK
NAKED.

The two SCREAM, quickly separate, and spastically try to
cover up.



INT. IKEA - DAY - PAST

WADE and VANESSA enjoy a shopping trip at Ikea, feeding each
other Swedish MEATBALLS while relaxing on an ASPELUND bed
frame.

BLIND AL (O.S.)

on the RECIPIENT of his speech, the BAIT herself:

VANESSA, ENTOMBED in the PUNCH BOWL, which has been stood on

DEADPOOL
So. How's things with Gita?

EXT. HIGH RISE - DAY

We hear the first kick-ass notes of DMX's J X GON GIVE IT TO
YA. ' The kind of song that says 'shooting spree.'

DEADPOOL walks straight up the marble steps to the building,
in SLO-MO .

DEADPOOL (V*0*)
Not often a dude fucks up your

Destroys your living. Grabs your
future baby mama* And personally
sees to 8 of your 10 shittiest
moments* Let's just say, it's
beginning to look a lot like
Christmas* * .

This is as cool as Deadpool has ever looked. Muscles
sprouting muscles. Gun barrels protruding like branches off
a tree. Katana-grips on either shoulder like guardian
angels .

Still in SLO-MO , the huge revolving door of the building
turns. . .

...and out walks SLUGGO.

SLUGGO, too, looks as tough as he's ever looked. Big as a
bus. And READY for a scrap.

The two men walk to within about fifteen feet of each other.
Then stop, as REGULAR SPEED RESUMES:

DEADPOOL

Wanna fight me, buddy? There f s me
buddy*

Sluggo turns just in time to see what Deadpool's POINTING AT:

Favor? Fuck him the fuck up.

COLOSSUS

Colossus HURLS Sluggo back through another massive WINDOW and
steps out after him.

DEADPOOL continues to the center of the abandoned lobby...

...then stops, frowning, surprised at the lack of a
reception. Until, right on cue...

...FIFTY or so GUARDS POP UP from hiding places in every
direction around the room. . .

...guns DRAWN and AIMED.

DEADPOOL

Just be glad it's not 'Bring Your
Daughter to Work' day.

(aims the KRISS)
Let's dance.

(no one moves)
And by dance, I mean shoot at each
other.

Instantly, every GUARD in the room OPENS FIRE.

DEADPOOL DUCKS, LEAPS, ROLLS, and comes up FIRING...

...with the KRISS. THIS GUN IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS...

...insanely FAST, insanely loud, and other-worldly PRECISE...

...with all the whoa-f actor of an automatic weapon (bullets
spraying out like a garden hose) and all the wow-factor of a
sniper rifle (bullets ending up where they have no business
ending up ) .

over the room.

The guard takes a bullet to one aide of the face shield. The
shield suddenly DANGLES, ASKEW*

Then a SECOND bullet strikes the OTHER side of the shield.
The shield is shorn off the helmet COMPLETELY. The guard's
chin drops in amazement. And a third bullet enters his OPEN
MOUTH.

ANGLE ON a GUARD with a SNIPER RIFLE.

The sniper draws a bead from the far side of the room. We
take the sniper's P.O.V. through the magnified BULLS-EYE.
The cross-hairs fall right on Deadpool's head...

...just in time to see Deadpool FIRE the KRISS straight back
into camera.

With the bullets in mid-flight, we RAMP to SLQ-MO . The
sniper actually SEES the STREAM of BULLETS bearing down on
him. * *

. . .before we RAMP back to REGULAR SPEED . The bullets CRASH
THROUGH his TELESCOPIC SIGHT into his EYE.

ANGLE ON a GUARD in a KEVLAR VEST who takes a stream of
bullets in the same precise spot on his chest, in SLO-MO :

The first bullet DENTS the Kevlar, the second dents it
FURTHER, the next tears a HOLE in it, and the last flies
THROUGH the hole, striking the guard in the HEART.

Angle on a HEAVY GUNNER who opens up on Deadpool using a
TRIPOD-MOUNTED , THICK-BARRELED .50 caliber BROWNING MACHINE
GUN. He fires one long burst. Pauses. Then another long
burst. Pauses again...

...only to have Deadpool fire a burst of bullets that enters
the BARREL of his gun. The .45 caliber bullets fit neatly
down the .50 caliber BARREL...

...and the gun EXPLODES in the gunner's hands.

Deadpool weaves, ducks, leaps to avoid being hit, all the
while SPRAYING bullets into the FEET of guards who are
running, the HANDS of guards who are shooting, the HEADS of
guards who are peeking.

He spies a HEAVY HANGING SCULPTURE and shoots the four CHAINS
attaching it to the ceiling. The sculpture FALLS, crushing
TWO GUARDS .

He gets pinned behind a COUNTER by a BARRAGE of FIRE. He

tries to PEEK around it, but the sheer VOLUME of bullets ~\

He aims * - . and shoots a BURST off his own SWORD with the

The sword BREAKS, but the bullets RICOCHET off it precisely
INTO one of the guards,

Deadpool quickly draws his SECOND KATANA and REPEATS the
TRICK,

getting his ass kicked outside.

DEADPOOL
Someone's been P90X-ing.

Deadpool returns his attention to the guards-., just in time
to grow concerned at the sight of TWENTY or so GUARDS forming
a WALL behind a row of HUGE, THICK RIOT SHIELDS*

These riot shields feature small, impenetrable Plexiglas
WINDOWS so that the guards can see what they're advancing on.

And ADVANCE they do, in a moving PHALANX, right TOWARD
Deadpool *

Deadpool reloads his Kriss, RISES UP, and OPENS FIRE
MERCILESSLY on the advancing shields*,*

•••only to see his bullets helplessly RICOCHET.,.

...RIGHT BACK AT HIM. His mask get SINGED by a bullet. He
DUCKS behind the counter again, ALARMED •• •

...but only for the length of time it takes for him to
DISCARD the KRISS and UNSLING the AA-12 AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN:

The one with DRUM MAGAZINES full of EXPLOSIVE ROUNDS .

A word about the AA-12: It's the most breathtaking,
punishing, exhilarating gun EVER. Its rounds strike with
such explosive power, they can SPIN the front end of a parked
car a full ninety degrees. If you shot a jeep in the side up
high with this gun, it would knock the jeep OVER*

Deadpool stands up*



And FIRES right INTO the row of riot shields.

The effect is STUNNING, Every guy who gets hit BLASTS
backward as if being run over by a car.

Immediately, the WALL of SHIELDS disintegrates as gaps appear
wherever Deadpool fires. SHIELDS and BODIES CARTWHEEL
THROUGH THE AIR.

Deadpool steps into the gap in the 'wall' and slowly turns in
a circle, SHOULDER-FIRING ROUNDS at every point on the
compass ,

CRASH ! CRASH 1 CRASH ! CRASH ! CRASH 1 CRASH I

Spent RED SHOTGUN SHELLS tumble through the air around
Deadpool .

MEN literally FLY around the room. TABLES buck and spin and
go airborne. COUNTERS disintegrate. COMPUTERS launch.
WINDOWS shatter. SCULPTURES and STATUES explode.

Everything and everyone that gets hit looks like it's getting
CHEST-STOMPED by an INVISIBLE, GOD-SIZED BOOT.




DEADPOOL
This should be good.

...one last driver peeks up over a steering wheel and FLOORS
his damaged CAR, trying to smash Deadpool against the
elevators .

The car is up to 30 MILES-FER-HOUR by the time Deadpool HEARS
it, turns, and OPENS FIRE into its grill.

B00M-B0OM-BOOM-B0OM-BO0M1 The force of the shotgun is
literally stronger than the forward momentum of a 4,000 pound
car moving at 30 miles -per-hour.

The exploding rounds bring the car to a full STOP, then FORCE
it BACKWARD out of the lobby and DOWN the front steps of the
building. . .

. . .where it TAGS Sluggo in the back, giving Colossus a chance
to regain his feet.

DEADPOOL
Got your back, Heavy Metal 1

Then Deadpool hears a familiar 'Dingl' over his shoulder and
turns back around to see ELEVATOR DOORS OPEN...

...on the familiar visage of GARRISON KANE.

KANE raises one 'arm,' at the end of which is his
FLAMETHROWER appendage, with a little blue PILOT LIGHT
extending juat beyond an OPEN TUBE.

PROFANE GAS suddenly SURGES from the tube, where it is SET ON
FIRE by the PILOT LIGHT...

...and SURGES out in a long TONGUE of BLUE FLAME.

DEADPOOL

Yeeeowwwl

Deadpool tries to duck, but CATCHES FIRE. He looks down at
his burning suit, thinks:

DEADPOOL (V*O t )
(the old Dick Van Dyke
PSA)

Stop, drop, and roll, Dick, roll*

Deadpool drops and rolls, PUTTING out the FIRE. He looks up
to see GARRISON KANE aiming the PROSTHETIC APPENDAGE on his
OTHER arm:

The ROCKET-PROPELLED GRENADE LAUNCHER we saw at SISTER
MARGARET'S.

An RPG screams through the air, STRIKING the ground in front
of Deadpool, sending him FLYING.

Kane launches GRENADE AFTER GRENADE. They scream like
banshees .

DEADPOOL avoids each by mere INCHES.,.

...but again and again , he is BLASTED like a loose-limbed RAG-
DOLL, HEAD-OVER HEELS , ANKLES-OVER-ELBOWS, all over the
lobby .

Deadpool smashes through a glass partition and lands on a bed
of BROKEN GLASS »

Kane has him dead-to-rights , launching another GRENADE . . .

...which,.* at the LAST conceivable second... DEADPOOL SHOOTS
OUT OF THE AIR with the AA-12. BLAM!

Garrison Kane fires again. Again, Deadpool shoots the RPG
OUT OF THE AIR. Only this time, the RPG explodes a little
FURTHER from Deadpool and a little CLOSER to Kane.

Kane keeps firing, Deadpool keeps firing* But the explosions
get CLOSER to Kane each time, backing up TOWARD him.
Deadpool FOLLOWS them in.

The last RPG EXPLODES just as it's LAUNCHING from Kane's
prosthesis* He stumbles backward, and Deadpool goes FULLY
AUTO with the AA-12.

The rounds EXPLODE into Kane's METALLIC CHEST. He hurtles
backward and hits the deck. Deadpool LANDS on top of him*

Kane raises his FLAMETHROWER and FIRES. We enter SLO-MO as
the blue plume nearly takes off Deadpool 's head.

REGULAR SPEED .

Kane tries to fire again, but in a lightning-fast reversal,
DEADPOOL grabs his WRISTS and jams the BARRELS of his two
prosthetics TOGETHER.

The blue flame spits out of one appendage INTO the other f
curling up the barrel of Kane's RPG LAUNCHER and IGNITING the
RPGs inside.

DEADPOOL DIVES OFF Kane as he EXPLODES,., a human MUSHROOM
CLOUD.

And DMX ROCKS to a CLOSE.

Deadpool stands up, BRUSHES himself OFF, and walks away.

An injured GUARD lamely tries to GRAB Deadpool's ANKLE .

DEADPOOL

Your plan to trip me to death? Has
failed*

Deadpool nonchalantly SKULL-STOMPS him.



INT. PENTHOUSE OFFICE - DAY

In his penthouse office, AJAX sits behind a massive oak DESK,
busy loading an off -screen GUN that's obscured from sight*

VANESSA stands trapped in the PUNCH-BOWL nearby.

One of Ajax's GUARDS suddenly pokes his head into the room.

GUARDS
You need to see this.

CUT TO:



INT. PENTHOUSE LOBBY - DAY

AJAX is now over the GUARD'S shoulder, looking at one of the
SECURITY MONITORS, which displays a LIVE CAMERA FEED from a
high angle looking DOWN on the lobby*

The bloody REMAINS of GARRISON KANE and various GUARDS have
been ASSEMBLED into a MESSAGE on the FLOOR.

One word:

FRANCIS .

Ajax's gaze immediately rises to the BANK of ELEVATORS...

...and to one PARTICULAR elevator, whose lit, ascending
numbers reveal it to be RISING toward the penthouse.

Ajax looks around at his remaining GUARDS, who still number
at least TWENTY,

AJAX

Bring hell itself.
INT. PENTHOUSE OFFICE - DAY

AJAX returns to his office, SLAMS the door, and pauses to PAT

the surface of the PUNCH BOWL. Vanessa tries to SAY J ~ % \

SOMETHING, but can't catch a breath.

Ajax smirks and dials up her OXYGEN to give her the chance:

VANESSA
(weakly sings, muffled)
My boyfriend's back, and you're
gonna be in trouble.

AJAX
(rolls his eyes)
Hey la. Hey la.

Ajax dials the oxygen back DOWN and takes a seat behind his
desk.

INT. PENTHOUSE LOBBY - DAY

GUARDS carrying every sort of gun LOCK and LOAD and assume
DEFENSIVE POSITIONS across the penthouse lobby.

INT. ELEVATOR - DAY

Inside the elevator, DEADPOOL checks the remaining AMMO for
his AA-12. TWO more shells. He DITCHES the gun...

...and draws ONE three-barreled Metal Storm PISTOL.

Make that TWO three-barreled Metal Storm PISTOLS.

Then COCKS them BOTH. CLICK-CLACK. CLICK-CLACK.

He extends both arms, aiming the pistols forward, side-by-
side, at EYE LEVEL.

Then notices his REFLECTION in the brass elevator door.

Something about this pose could be improved.

He SLOWLY turns the pistols SIDEWAYS, GANGSTER-STYLE.

Much better.

Then looks down. Fuck.

ZIPS up his FLY.

And poses again.

DEADPOOL
Maximum effort.

INT. PENTHOUSE LOBBY - DAY

DING1 The elevator doors OPEN, and DEADPOOL stands there,
guns aimed, counting on the intimidation factor.

DEADPOOL

Drop 'em!
No one drops anything.

DEADPOOL

No?

(puzzled)
I know my fly's not down.

The guards immediately OPEN FIRE.

DEADPOOL

Ack!

Deadpool kicks off the SIDE of the elevator, jumps UP, and
presses his HANDS and FEET against the front and back of the
elevator respectively (spread-eagled, with his back touching
the CEILING, as if he's sky-diving).

The guards FIRE again and again into what looks like an EMPTY
ELEVATOR.

Then they PAUSE.

DEADPOOL uses this instant to DROP to hands and knees on the
floor and DIVE /ROLL out of the elevator.

He comes out of his roll and OPENS FIRE with both PISTOLS.

Because three bullets are being discharged with every trigger-
pull, every 'shot' goes off like a BOMB.

Guards DROP as three-bullet volleys SPIN them this way and
that.

The remaining guards RETURN FIRE.

The lobby DISINTEGRATES in a sideways storm of lead.

Deadpool takes a bullet THROUGH the SHOULDER. But he USES
the momentum to spin him into his next shot.

We ramp down to SLO-MO to watch THREE BULLETS exit one of

Deadpool 's pistols, then back up to REGULAR SPEED as they

cross the room, then back down to SLO-MO to see the bullets

flying in a triangular tiny 'formation,' then back up to

REGULAR SPEED to see them lift a GUARD off his feet. ^

GUARDS start to RUN at DEADPOOL. . «

*,.who RELOADS his pistols, and then shifts his weight back
and forth from one foot to the other like a BOXER who's just
entered the ring to warm up,

Deadpool starts fighting HAND-to-HAND, but uses the pistols
as extensions of his fists, shooting at the exact MOMENT he
delivers each PUNCH.

Every punch carries with it the extra oomph of THREE
discharged 9mm BULLETS.

One by one, GUARDS rush at him. Boom! A right CROSS to the
JAW.

Vicious BODY- SHOTS to the solar plexus* BOOM1 B00M1 BOOM I
BOOM-BOOM 1 A one-two combination to the TEMPLE.
JABS to the CHIN. BOOM! BOOMJ

The nearest guard slips. DEADPOOL PUNCHES him on the GROUND .
BOOM! B00M1 BOOM!

And suddenly, the shots usher in familiar , melodic notes:

A REPRISE Of JOHN DENVER'S 'I WANT TO LIVE*'

In time with the tempo of the music, the action SLOWS.

Deadpool continues to punch/shoot in awesome, glorious SLO-
MO.

But he's not the only one 'wanting to live' as John Denver
croons :

We CUT to COLOSSUS at ground level, who HURLS SLUGGO through
a SUPPORT PILLAR of the building, also in SLO-MO .

Then back to DEADPOOL, who throws RABBIT PUNCHES/SHOTS into a
GUARD'S KIDNEY*

Then back to SLUGGO, who HAMMER- THROWS COLOSSUS through a
WALL*

Then back to DEADPOOL who dishes out the perfect RIGHT HOOK,
which contains three more bullets*

Then back to COLOSSUS who smashes SLUGGO through another
pillar with a ROUNDHOUSE KICK.

Then back to DEADPOOL, who lands a crazy UPPERCUT under the
last guard's CHIN. The force of the bullet /punch LIFTS him
high off the ground .

The music CRESCENDOES, and we resume REGULAR SPEED as the
final GUARD DROPS with a THUD.

DEADPOOL

Deadpool assumes the classic CASSIUS-CLAY-STANDING-
VICTORIOUSLY-OVER-SONNY-LISTON pose, then throws his ARMS up

INT. PENTHOUSE OFFICE - DAY

AJAX, sitting behind the desk in his office, finally COCKS
his UNSEEN GUN* The DOOR SWINGS OPEN, and out of a lobby
full of SMOKE* . .

...steps DEADPOOL.

His eyes immediately go from Ajax to VANESSA in the Punch
Bowl.

Deadpool raises a PISTOL and shoots THROUGH the PLEXIGLAS, ^
The bullets tear into the bed next to Vanessa's ear.

AIR rushes in through the BULLET HOLES. Vanessa can BREATHE.

DEADPOOL
(to Ajax)
I hope they numbed every last
nerve. 'Cause I'm'a go looking.

Ajax kicks over the desk to reveal what's in his hands: A
GENERAL DYNAMIX XM-307 HEAVY MACHINE GUN.

AJAX

Forget the open casket.

DEADPOOL
I'd do 'I fart in your general
direction!' from Holy Grail , but I
can't be that-
{ realizes )
Holy shit. I am that guy.

Deadpool pulls both TRIGGERS, only to have both PISTOLS
CLICK.

DEADPOOL
That was four thousand?!

Ajax SNEERS and OPENS FIRE* The XM-307 is cu-razy. Loud as
fuck* Its barrel retracts and extends with each discharged
round, and it can shoot FIVE every SECOND *

But even with the machine-gun-from-hell, Ajax finds Deadpool
extraordinarily DIFFICULT to HIT.

BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM.

SLUGS TEAR into the opposite wall as Deadpool ditches his
pistols and BUM- RUSHES Ajax.

We enter SLO-MO as he JUMPS /TWISTS through the air, spiraling
AROUND the serpentine STREAM of BULLETS.

REGULAR SPEED again as Deadpool hits the ground, picks up the
DESK as a SHIELD, and SURGES forward.

The desk DISINTEGRATES around him, but gets him close enough
to CRUSH Ajax with a FIST.

The gun goes FLYING .

And now, we get what we've been long been waiting for:
A MANO A MANO battle between DEADPOOL AND AJAX.
It's HAGLER VS. HEARNS, FORTY STORIES UP...
...every PUNCH teeth-rattling..*
...every KICK bone -crunching.
The two men TRADE BLOWS . . .

...attempt CHOKES and JOINT LOCKS. ARM and KNEE BARS.

Deadpool is the quicker of the two, but Ajax is a terrifying
BRAWLER.

Deadpool throws short, blinding PUNCHES - rat-a-tat-tat -
into Ajax's grill.

DEADPOOL
Since you can't feel it?

(holds up an INCISOR)
I just knocked out your tooth.

AJAX snarls, drives a SHOULDER into Deadpool 's midsection,
and DRIVES him to the floor, then MOUNTS him and begins
BLUDGEONING his face with HAMMER-LIKE FISTS*

Funniest part of The Hangover*



103 •



INT. BUILDING LOBBY - DAY

Down below, COLOSSUS ' s and SLUGGO's raging battle is
beginning to BRING DOWN the building's FOUNDATION.

COLOSSUS gains momentum, gets Sluggo on proverbial the ropes,
BLASTS him into SUBMISSION.

But one of the remaining support PILLARS BUCKLES all by
itself, and a huge CRACK spreads down the lobby ceiling.



INT. PENTHOUSE OFFICE - DAY

DEADPOOL is starting to lose consciousness under Ajax's fists
when he turns his head to one side and spies the PUNCH BOWL.

We RACK FOCUS to Vanessa locking eyes with him from inside.

Suddenly, we hear a REPRISE of the STEREOTYPICAL ROMANTIC
MUSICAL CUE that launched the ROMANTIC COMEDY montage.
Deadpool turns his head back toward AJAX.

Deadpool SURGES with energy and BUCKS Ajax off.



INT. BUILDING LOBBY - DAY

BOOM1 Colossus FINISHES SLUGGO off with one last SUNDAY
PUNCH, sending him through another wall and back outside...

...causing the ENTIRE BUILDING to crack, groan, crumble/ and
TOPPLE *



INT. PENTHOUSE OFFICE - DAY

DEADPOOL and AJAX are trading BLOWS again when the OFFICE
bucks, sways , and TILTS as if it's undergoing a 9.0
EARTHQUAKE.

AJAX falls and SLIP-SLIDES toward an empty space where a
WINDOW used to be.

Deadpool spins to SPY the PUNCH BOWL also hurtling toward
DISASTER.

He SURFS down the tilting hard-wood floor on both feet,

quickly RIPS the lid off the PUNCH BOWL, unstraps VANESSA, ^>

and SHELTERS her with his body...

..,as the entire building TOPPLES INTO the building next to
it with a TREMENDOUS f EAR-SPLITTING CRASH,

The building PIROUETTES in mid-air.

AJAX and DEADPOOL (clutching Vanessa) SLIDE down the
surface . . *

...all the way to the GROUND...

...where they are BURIED by an AVALANCHE of FALLING RUBBLE.



EXT* RUBBLE PILE - DAY

A cloud of thick gray DUST settles...

...over BOTH buildings, which have become a MASSIVE PILE of
DEBRIS,

SLUGGO lies motionless in the background.

COLOSSUS vigorously TOSSES aside MASSIVE SLABS of CONCRETE to
get to DEADPOOL and COMPANY.

He finds VANESSA first - in a POCKET of DEBRIS - coughing,
but O.K. He carries her to safety, laying her down gently
against a fallen pillar.

Then Colossus turns back for DEADPOOL. He can't find him and
is beginning to grow alarmed when...

. . .Deadpool's HEAD POPS UP from under a pile of DEBRIS...
again, like the gopher in Caddyahack*

DEADPOOL

I'm good.

Deadpool shoves off the debris and is STANDING UP..*

. . .when AJAX emerges from under a fallen BEAM and takes him
out at the KNEES,

DEADPOOL

(subtitled, in YELLOW: )
For heaven's saket

Deadpool hits his back- Ajax drops FISTS.

But Deadpool SUDDENLY reverses the MOUNT, lands on AJAX's

DEADPOOL

Hello, elbow! What's up, forearm!

Smelling victory, he grabs AJAX by the hair and starts
SLAMMING his HEAD against a broken SLAB of CONCRETE.

BAM ! BAM! BAM. Bam.

You can feel Deadpool's adrenalized catharsis as Ajax finally
falls LIMP in his hands.

DEADPOOL

{ thrilled/ exhausted )
There are no words .

Deadpool stands, SPIES a discarded PISTOL in the rubble,
picks it up, checks for bullets, and returns to AJAX, jamming
the barrel between his eyes.

DEADPOOL
Wakey, wakey.

Ajax's eyes flutter open,

DEADPOOL

Me and you are headed to wherever

you can fix me. '

Ajax shakes off the cobwebs, assimilates this last statement,
then actually LAUGHS. Deadpool looks CONFUSED •

AJAX

Sorry. It's just. All this time.
You think I can fix you? I'm
flattered. I am. But I'm not the
brains. You're looking for the guy
behind the guy. Dr. Killebrew.
He's long gone. And I don't know

COLOSSUS

To be a hero. Everyone thinks it's
a full time job. Wake up a hero.
Brush your teeth a hero. Go to
work a hero. Not true. Over a
lifetime, there are only four or
five moments that really matter.
Moments when you're suddenly given
the chance* To make a sacrifice.
Conquer a flaw. Save a friend.
Spare an enemy.

Deadpool continues to hold the pistol to Ajax's head.

COLOSSUS

In those moments, everything else
falls away. The way the world sees
us. The way we see oursel-

BOOM i OFF- SCREEN, A GUNSHOT .

DEADPOOL

VANESSA

Get over yourself I I'd hit it.
DEADPOOL

VANESSA

It's a face... I'm happy to sit on.
Among other things.

She hooks his PINKIE with HERS, PULLS him in with it, and
KISSES him. Nice, lingering, no tongue yet.

DEADPOOL

Take them off too?

He kisses her back. The little kisses become BIGGER ONES. <*m^

Then... fading up from nowhere, with a slightly tinny
quality... we hear WHAM! 's 'CARELESS WHISPER. '

Vanessa pulls back, puzzled. Where's that coming from?

Deadpool raises his i-Phone, which displays Andrew Ridgeley's
FACE BEAMING from Wham! 's 'HAKE IT BIG' album cover.

DEADPOOL

As promised... Ridgeley. Tight as

The two HAKE OUT LIKE CRAZY, LONG AND HARD. We slowly PULL

KINDLY-LOOKING DOCTOR WHO STROKED WADE'S HEAD IN THE
WORKSHOP ,

DR. KILLEBREW
To*., new beginnings.

The driver smiles, turns, and DRIVES AWAY.

As the sedan pulls into traffic, we...

FADE TO BLACK.

And roll END CREDITS .

ANDREW AND GEORGE BELT OUT 'CARELESS WHISPER.' Until, after
about a MINUTE, the song FADES OUT...

DEADPOOL (V*0.)

BLIND AL

YOU, too.

The two turn and walk away. She gives him a football-style
congratulatory SLAP on the back of the lower thigh.

DEADPOOL
Missed my ass.

BLIND AL
Always pictured you shorter.

The two EXIT FRAME...

...and we return to the TRONDHEIM.

It COLLAPSES .

We squeeze the picture away, returning to a screen full of
CREDITS. Until the last credit rolls.

When we . . .

FADE UP ON:

THE FINAL POST-CREDIT SEQUENCE:
EXT. LONDON STREET - DAY

A perfectly sober AMY WINEHOUSE crosses the street near
Trafalgar Square, where she gets...

...WIPED OUT by a DOUBLE-DECKER BUS. Her body literally goes
FLYING.

DEADPOOL (V.O.)
And you woulda thought an overdose.

And we're OUT.
