Flame Dumps Killer Spiders In Torturanus' Bed
THEN, OUTSIDE AT THE JAIL AT NIGHT:
Flame and Buzzi fall out of the sky. They THUNK the ground, roll up against an ox-cart.
OX
Moo!
The spider-jar falls out of the sky, clanks. The Spiders SCREAM in Flame's face.
Buzzi grabs the jar off the ground.
BUZZI
Wait for me.
Flame grabs the jar.
FLAME
No, the Romans'll kill you. They'll keep me alive to make babies.
Flame runs to the jail, peeks in the window. Seeing no one there, she TIP-TOES inside.
THEN, INSIDE THE JAIL AT NIGHT:
{ BAM } Torturanus slams open the jail door, stomps in.
Flame startles, jumps under Torturanus's bed.
Torturanus collapses on his bed, SIGHS in exhaustion. Flame DUCKS. Torturanus FEELS around for his pillow.
TORTURANUS
Brats stole my softy-soft!
His hand brushes Flame's face. Flame JOLTS down.
TORTURANUS
Whack-whacking them whacks me worse than it whack-whacks them.
Minutes pass.
Torturanus SNORES.
Flame RELEASES the spiders by Torturanus's head.
A spider bites Flame's hand. She STIFLES her scream.
The spiders crawl toward Torturanus' face.
A Spider bites Torturanus's nose.
TORTURANUS
(eyes fly open)
Mommie!
Torturanus SQUASHES a spider on his nose.
Torturanus jumps UP, flips his bed over on Flame. Swat! SWAT! SWAT (he slams his flyswatter at spiders.)
TORTURANUS
Bam! Bam! Die Die!
THEN, OUTSIDE AT THE JAIL AT NIGHT:
By the ox-cart, WarBeast's hand APPEARS in the air, drops a smoke-bomb into Buzzi's hands. The fuse HISSES. Terrified, Buzzi throws the smoke-bomb at the jail. It EXPLODES.
Torturanus runs from the jail into the smoke, doubles over, coughs.
Flame runs from the jail, DISAPPEARS into the smoke.
