THE CAMERA PANS ACROSS A NIGHT SKY, FULL OF STARS EXT. FOREST - NIGHT
In a forest, two ATVs race along a path, faces concealed by helmets and bright headlights. The lead ATV slows and stops, gesturing to the other rider.
RIDER
Hey, hold on! I gotta take a leak!
The rider dismounts and walks into the woods.
The second rider stops and pulls off her helmet to reveal long brown hair.
GIRL RIDER
Hurry up, Craig! My Dad's gonna kill us as it is!
EXT - HIGHWAY - NIGHT
An OPP cruiser flashes its lights and pulls over a beat up pickup truck. As the camera pans around we get a view of Calvin peeing on a Chevy logo in a decal on the back window. A COP gets out of the cruiser and walks around to the driver's window of the truck.
COP
Damn it, Luke! You been drinking again? You know how fast you were goin'?
LUKE, a disheveled middle-aged man in a plaid jacket with a worn ballcap squints in the Cop's flashlight beam.
LUKE
Aw, Hell, man. I'm fine. I'm just in a hurry to get home. To the kids. I got dinner here!
Luke holds up a greasy bag of fast food from a burger joint. The bag breaks and a mickey of whisky falls out.
LUKE
Oops.
COP
Okay, that's enough, Luke. I gotta take you in for this. I'll call Maggie and get her to come pick up the truck.
EXT - COTTAGE - NIGHT
A woman in her late 20s, JOAN is in the backyard of a cottage style house, looking through a telescope. Her young son, MIKEY is looking through binoculars.
JOAN
And see there, that's the Big Dipper right there...
MIKEY
I see it mommy! Like a big spoon! But mommy, what's that one? The big green one?
JOAN
Which one?
Mikey pushes the telescope to the left slightly.
MIKEY
There!
JOAN
There shouldn't be anything there... Wait, it's getting closer! Oh Shi-!!!
There is a FLASH OF GREEN LIGHT, and Joan and Mikey are knocked to the grass. A fist sized rock hits the ground a flares green.
EXT. FOREST - NIGHT
CRAIG and the female rider, LISA are leaning in to kiss each other when there is a flash of green lights, and they are knocked to the ground. A rock smacks into a tree, knocking it on to one of the ATVs, then flares green.
EXT - HIGHWAY - NIGHT
The Cop is dragging Luke towards his cruiser. The sky flashes green and a rock smacks into the hood before flashing green. Both men are thrown to the ground.
There is a MONTAGE of close-ups of Luke, Lisa and Mikey. Each one sits up, opens their eyes and mouths and green light shoots forth from both.
EXT - COTTAGE - NIGHT
Mikey is floating three feet off the ground MIKEY
Mommy, lookit what I can do!
JOAN
Michael Jason Amonides, you come down here right this instant!
EXT. FOREST - NIGHT
Lisa stands up, and there is a play of green light on the ground as flowers and greenery sprout from the ground. Craig is staring at the smashed ATV.
CRAIG
Oh man! My ride!
LISA
Babe, I think we've got bigger problems here!
Craig turns, eyes widening as the plants surround Lisa, who is smiling.
EXT - HIGHWAY - NIGHT
Luke stands turned away from the Cop and the camera. COP
Luke, you okay? What the hell was that?
Luke turns towards us, his eyes glowing green. His hands ball into fists and flicker into green flames. From behind, we watch Luke advance towards the cop, who starts to scream.
