1 EXT. TORONTO RESIDENTIAL STREET - DAY 1
Snowy suburbs of Toronto. From a nondescript house we hear:
KIM PINE
Scott Pilgrim is dating a high schooler?
2 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' KITCHEN - DAY 2
Four twenty-somethings lounge around a small kitchen table
STEPHEN STILLS, 25, shaggy hair, Canadian Cowboy chic
STEPHEN STILLS
Really? Is she hot?
KIM PINE, 22, cute, bitter, sweatshirt with a zipper
KIM PINE
How old are you now, Scott? Like
Twenty-eight?
SCOTT
I'm not playing your little games
KIM PINE
So you've been out of high school
For like, 13 years and-
SCOTT
I'm twenty-two. Twenty-two!
STEPHEN STILLS
And you're dating a high school
Girl? Not bad, not bad
YOUNG NEIL, 20, simple mind, layered T-shirts
YOUNG NEIL
Like, did you guys 'do it' yet?
SCOTT PILGRIM, 22, fresh faced and charmingly cocky with an
Unruly yet adorable mop of hair
SCOTT
We have done many things.
We ride the bus.
We have meaningful conversations about how yearbook club went and about her friends, and, um...you know...drama
STEPHEN STILLS
Yeah, okay, have you even kissed her?
SCOTT
We almost held hands once, but then
She got embarrassed
KIM PINE
Well. Aren't you pleased as punch?
STEPHEN STILLS
So, what's her name?
SCOTT
(pleased as punch)
Knives Chau. She's Chinese
STEPHEN STILLS
(under his breath)
Chinese...
Young Neil pauses his Nintendo DS
YOUNG NEIL
Wicked! How'd you meet her?
SCOTT
I believe I mentioned the bus?
Scott Pilgrim prepares to tell an amazing story:
3 INT. THE BUS - NIGHT 3
KNIVES CHAU, 17, cute and innocent with clothes to match
Sits next to her mother, MOTHER CHAU, 45, demanding
MOTHER CHAU
You are seventeen year old! Time to
Get interested in boy!
KNIVES CHAU
Mom!
Knives DROPS her bag, books scattering everywhere
MOTHER CHAU
You drop book
Knives crouches down to pick up her books, grumbling
SCOTT (O.S.)
Hey...
Knives looks up to see the cute and gallant SCOTT PILGRIM
Holding her books. TEXT appears in an on-screen box:
"SCOTT PILGRIM, 22 YEARS OLD, RATING: AWESOME."
Stars appear in Knives's eyes. Scott grins heroically. Scott
Winks at Knives. Scott winks at the camera
4 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' KITCHEN - DAY 4
Back in the kitchen, everyone looks at Scott...
KIM PINE
Is that seriously the end of the story?
SCOTT
Yes. It is
Young Neil unpauses his Nintendo DS
STEPHEN STILLS
So when do we get to meet her?
KIM PINE
Oh please. Let it be soon
DINGY DONG! The doorbell rings. Scott smiles broadly
SCOTT
That's for me
5 INT/EXT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE - DAY 5
An eager Knives stands outside. Scott opens the door a crack
SCOTT
You promise to be good?
KNIVES CHAU
Of course I'll be good!
SCOTT
No, really. Please be good
KNIVES CHAU
Am I normally not?
Stephen Stills comes to the door and peers through
SCOTT
Oh, hey. Knives, this is Stephen
Stills. He's the talent
STEPHEN STILLS
Hey
STILLS shuts the door on a confused Knives
STEPHEN STILLS
Is she gonna geek out on us?
SCOTT
She'll just sit in the corner, man
STEPHEN STILLS
I mean, I want her to geek out on us
B>SCOTT
She'll geek. She geeks. She has the
Capacity to geek
Stephen Stills quickly opens the door and waves Knives in
(CONTINUED)
STEPHEN STILLS
You're good
6 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE - DAY 6
Knives enters, looking around the rehearsal pad with awe:
Bare bulb, ratty rug, drums, guitar, bass, LAME BRAND amps
KNIVES CHAU
Wow
SCOTT
Knives, that's Kim. Lemme get your coat
Scott throws Knives' coat on the floor. Knives waves
KNIVES CHAU
Hi, sorry, what was your name?
KIM PINE
Kim
KNIVES CHAU
You play the drums?
REVEAL Kim sitting behind the drumset, sticks in her hands
KIM PINE
...yes
KNIVES CHAU
That is so awesome
SCOTT
Knives, that's Young Neil
KNIVES CHAU
Hi. What do you play?
YOUNG NEIL
Uh, wow...Zelda...Tetris...that's
Kind of a big question
Knives stares blankly at Young Neil, who finally gets it
YOUNG NEIL
Oh. I'm not in the band. I just
Live here
Sex Bob-Omb has geared up. Amps hum to life
SCOTT
Let's start with Launchpad McQuack
STEPHEN STILLS
That's not the actual title of the-
KIM PINE
WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB! 1-2-3-4!
Kim BASHES the kit and Sex Bob-Omb EXPLODE INTO ROCK! GUITAR
AND BASS LEADS LEAP INTO THE AIR, SPELLING OUT OUR TITLE...
SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD
TITLES continue over the song as the small rehearsal space
Seems to GROW with the music. Stephen Stills barks
Unintelligable lyrics
Knives watches, jaw ajar. The song ends, feedback lingering
KNIVES CHAU
You guys...are so...amazing
7 EXT. BUS STOP - EVENING 7
Scott bids adieu to a stunned Knives as she gets on a bus
KNIVES CHAU
I can't even...Sex Bob-Omb
Amazing
8 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' ROOM - EVENING 8
The band and Young Neil lounge around Stephen Stills' room
STEPHEN STILLS
She seems nice
SCOTT
Yeaaah
YOUNG NEIL
She seems awesome
SCOTT
Yeaaah
KIM PINE
Scott, if your life had a face I
Would punch it
SCOTT
Yeaaah...wait, what?
KIM PINE
I mean, are you really happy or are
You really evil?
SCOTT
Like, do I have ulterior motives or
Something? I'm offended, Kim
STEPHEN STILLS
Wounded even?
SCOTT
Hurt, Kim
KIM PINE
You? Hurt?
Scott takes a breath, turns to Young Neil
SCOTT
Neil, you were saying she seems awesome
YOUNG NEIL
Yeah, she seems awesome
SCOTT
Yeaaaah...
9 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - EVENING 9
Scott hangs his coat up in a tiny, one room apartment. He
Turns to WALLACE WELLS, dark hair, arched eyebrow, disloyal
"WALLACE WELLS, ROOMMATE, 24 YEARS OLD, FUN FACT: HE IS GAY!"
SCOTT
Before you hear some dirty lies
From someone else, yes, I'm dating
A 17 year old
Wallace looks up from the NOW magazine he's reading
WALLACE
Is he cute?
SCOTT
Ha, ha, ha, ha
WALLACE
Does this mean we have to stop
Sleeping together?
SCOTT
Do you see another bed in here?
TINY BOXES OF TEXT indicate the ownership of the items in the
One room flat: 95% belongs to Wallace, FUTON included
WALLACE
Yeah. You're totally my bitch forever
SCOTT
So. The whole seventeen year old
Thing. Don't tell too many people
WALLACE
Hey, you know me
SCOTT
I mean. Don't tell my sister
WALLACE
You know me
Wallace tosses the NOW magazine aside, starts texting
SCOTT
Who are you texting?
RINGY RING. The phone goes. Scott picks up
STACEY (O.S.)
Seventeen years old? Scandal!
Intercut with STACEY PILGRIM, cute, peppy barista, gabbing on
Her cellphone in THE SECOND CUP. A sign behind her reads 'œIf
You are using your cellphone, you will not be served'
"STACEY PILGRIM, YOUNGER SISTER, 19, RATING: 'T' FOR TEEN."
SCOTT
That's not true. Who told you?
STACEY
Wallace. Duh
SCOTT
That gossipy bitch
WALLACE (O.S.)
You know me
Scott turns to see Wallace on a second cordless
SCOTT
Wallace!
Wallace clicks off. Scott sinks into an armchair
STACEY
Who is this mysterious child you date?
SCOTT
Her name is Knives. Knives Chau
STACEY
A seventeen year old Chinese
Schoolgirl? You're ridiculous
SCOTT
It's a Catholic school too
STACEY
With the uniform and everything?
SCOTT
Yeah, the whole deal
STACEY
Oh my God, you haven't-
SCOTT
No no no. We haven't even held
Hands. I think she hugged me once
STACEY
Um, Scott. Why are you doing this?
SCOTT
I don't know...it's just nice, you
Know? It's just...simple
STACEY
It's been over a year since you got
Dumped by she-who-will-not-be-named
Scott glances down at the partially obscured NOW magazine
Looking into the HOT GIRL'S EYES on the back cover album ad
STACEY (CONT'D)
So, are you legitimately moving on
Or is this just you being insane?
Scott looks at a strip of photobooth pictures: he smiles next
To a hot redhead in happier times
SCOTT
Can I get back to you on that?
A SCHOOL BELL clangs loudly...
10 EXT. CATHOLIC SCHOOL - DAY 10
Wallace and Scott stand outside a CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL
Uniformed boys and girls pour out
WALLACE
I do not want to be here. At all
SCOTT
This school has boys too
WALLACE
I hate you. Even I would think twice
About dating a seventeen year old
SCOTT
Well, she's only allowed out when
The sun is up, so I wouldn't call
It dating, more like...
WALLACE
Playtime?
SCOTT
That doesn't sound so good either
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
Scott! Heyyyy!
Knives skips to Scott. Her shy friend TAMARA lingers behind
SCOTT
Hey Knives, this is my cool gay
Roommate, Wallace Wells. He's gay
KNIVES CHAU
Oh, hi! Do you want to know who in
My class is gay?
WALLACE
Yes. Does he wear glasses?
SCOTT
Wallace, you go now! Begone!
Wallace pulls Knives close. Whispers
WALLACE
You're too good for him. Run
11 INT. THE ARCADE - DAY 11
Scott and Knives play NINJA NINJA REVOLUTION (think a martial
Arts version of DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION)
They punch and kick in unison, side by side
SCOTT
Did you know the original name of Pac-
Man was Puck-man? You would think it's
Because Pac-Man looks like a yellow
Hockey puck, but actually it comes
From the Japanese phrase paku-paku
Which means to flap ones mouth open
And closed. They changed it over here
Because Puck-Man is too easy to
Vandalize. You know, scratch out the P
And turn it into an F or whatever?
Knives flips over Scott's back in a COMBO move
KNIVES CHAU
Ohmigod, like...wow
SCOTT
Yeah. Wow
The game ends. CONTINUE appears, counting down: 10...9...8...
Scott looks at Knives. She digs for quarters
KNIVES CHAU
Oh, I got it!
Scott and Knives leave a pizza joint, slices in hand
KNIVES CHAU
Tamara is into this Korean guy
Bobby, but everyone thinks Bobby
Has a crush on Mina
SCOTT
I thought Derek and Tamara had a
Mutual like-each-other thing going
What happened?
A13 INT. THE GOODWILL - DAY A13
Scott and Knives shop for T-shirts. Hangers click in time
KNIVES CHAU
I don't listen to much music. I
Know a lot of kids who play piano
Or whatever, but you guys ROCK
SCOTT
I knew I personally rocked, but I
Never suspected that we rocked as a
Unit. Thank you, Knives
13 INT. SONIC BOOM (RECORD STORE) - DAY 13
Scott and Knives flip through records in perfect sync
KNIVES CHAU
I mean, you guys are gonna be HUGE
SCOTT
Well, we're already pretty big. But
It might be cool if cool people
Wore our T-shirt
Knives speaks to a female clerk, surly with tats and specs:
"JULIE, 22, STILLS' GIRLFRIEND, RATING: WHAT IS HER PROBLEM?"
KNIVES CHAU
Excuse me, do you have anything by
'The Clash At Demonhead'?
JULIE
Have you tried the section marked
'The Clash At Demonhead'?
SCOTT
Thank you, Julie
JULIE
Are you coming to my party Friday
Or will you be busy babysitting?
SCOTT
Thank you, Julie
(TO KNIVES)
You don't want to listen to her
SCOTT (CONT'D)
And you definitely don't want to
Listen to them
Scott puts The Clash at Demonhead CD back in the rack
KNIVES CHAU
Oh, I heart them so much
SCOTT
I hearted them too until they signed
To a major label and the singer turned
Into a total bitch and ruined my life
But that's just me
KNIVES CHAU
(OBLIVIOUS)
Envy Adams is sooo cool. Do you
Read her blog?
SCOTT
Sorry, you were saying about me?
14 EXT. SNOWY TORONTO STREET - DAY 14
Scott and Knives amble down a snow covered sidewalk
KNIVES CHAU
I mean, I've...I've never gone out
With someone so talented
SCOTT
You go out with a lot of guys?
KNIVES CHAU
...no
SCOTT
Yeah, so whatever, man!
KNIVES CHAU
I've never even kissed a guy
Knives blushes and looks at the ground. Scott hugs her
SCOTT
Me neither
15 EXT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - DAY 15
Scott and Knives walk up to the front of Wallace's apartment
KNIVES CHAU
So this is your secret lair? Can I
Come in?
SCOTT
My secret lair is one of those 'no
Girls allowed' deals
KNIVES CHAU
Oh, okay
SCOTT
But do you want to see the house
Where I grew up?
KNIVES CHAU
Sure
They literally walk across the street to a small house
SCOTT
Here you go
KNIVES CHAU
Wow
SCOTT
Yeah. Wow
Wind blows. The light snowfall turns into sand...
16 EXT. THE DREAM DESERT - HOTTEST DAY 16
...Scott wanders alone through a barren land. He falls to his
Knees next to a lonely cactus
SCOTT
Oh God...so...so alone
A MYSTERIOUS GIRL rollerblades across the shifting sands. She
Wears fishnets, an army jacket, skirt and goggles. Her pink
Hair is funky but cool. She is hotter than the desert sun
< b>MYSTERIOUS GIRL [Ramona]
You're not alone. You're just
Having some idiotic dream
SCOTT
Does that mean we can make out?
But she's gone...
17 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - ? 17
...SCOTT WAKES UP, sitting up in the FUTON
SCOTT
Oh God...
Wallace wakes up to the left of Scott, rubbing his eyes
WALLACE
What is it, Scott?
SCOTT
I had this totally weird dream
OTHER VOICE
Oh God
WALLACE
What is it, Scott?
A scruffy, goateed guy wakes right between Scott and Wallace:
"OTHER SCOTT, 22, WALLACE'S BOYFRIEND? FUN FACT: GUY CURIOUS"
OTHER SCOTT
Can we skip the dreamtime? Color me
Not interested
SCOTT
But there was this girl...
WALLACE
Girl?
OTHER SCOTT
Was this an Envy related dream?
WALLACE
We don't use the E-word in this house
SCOTT
No, it wasn't her. It was somebody new...
OTHER SCOTT
Yay for that
Other Scott goes back to sleep. Wallace rubs his eyes
WALLACE
Speaking of new, weren't you
Supposed to take your fake high
School girlfriend to the library a
Half-hour ago?
SCOTT
What? It's like, six in the morning
Scott opens the bathroom door. Sunlight ignites the room
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Arrrrgh!
KNIVES CHAU
What's wrong?
Scott is noticeably taller than all the teens in the library
He carries a stack of books for Knives
SCOTT
Libraries remind me of grade school
KNIVES CHAU
That must seem like a reeeeally
Long time ago
SCOTT
Uh. Let's talk about something else
The hiss of ball bearings catches Scott's attention. He
Freezes as he sees THE ROLLERBLADING GIRL FROM HIS DREAM
Skating towards the desk in SEXALICIOUS SLOW MOTION
KNIVES CHAU
Do you know that girl?
The Rollerblading Girl delivers a package from AMAZON.CA to
The librarian. Scott's gaze follows the GIRL as she blades
Out of the library. Pensive guitar underscores his thoughts
KNIVES CHAU
Scott?
Scott continues to stare at the girl. Time slows to a crawl
STEPHEN STILLS (O.S.)
SCOTT!
19 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE - EVENING 19
Scott stands in the rehearsal room, head still in the clouds
STEPHEN STILLS
You only played one note for that
Entire song
SCOTT
It was...uh...my hand slipped
KIM PINE
Is your girlfriend distracting you?
SCOTT
My girlfriend?
A meek Knives sits next to Young Neil on the couch
KNIVES CHAU
I'll... I'll be quieter
STEPHEN STILLS
Let's do that one again
SCOTT
Sorry, what are we doing?
20 EXT. TORONTO RESIDENTIAL STREET - NIGHT 20
STEPHEN STILLS
I told you like fifty times!
Scott, Kim Pine, Stephen Stills and Young Neil walk down an
Icy Toronto street. Scott's head is still in the clouds
KIM PINE
We're going to this party, retard
SCOTT
Party?
YOUNG NEIL
At Julie's
SCOTT
Ugh. I thought you guys split
STEPHEN STILLS
We did. But, you know, there may be
Some label guys there, so...
SCOTT
Aw, man. This is going to suck
KIM PINE
At least it will give us something
To complain about
SCOTT
Awww maaan...
21 INT. JULIE'S HOUSE - NIGHT 21
A bored Scott stands next to Young Neil in a very crowded
House party. Both have red plastic cups in hand
SCOTT
...this sucks
YOUNG NEIL
Sucks
SCOTT
I'm going to go pee due to boredom
Scott exits frame
YOUNG NEIL
I have to pee
Neil sips his drink
Scott passes by COMEAU, a bespectacled hipster geek:
'˜COMEAU, 25, FUN FACT: KNOWS EVERYONE (INCLUDING YOU)'
SCOTT
Hey Comeau
COMEAU
Hey Scott. Some party huh? You
Gettin' your drink on?
INTEGRATED FINAL 16
21 CONTINUED: (2) 21
SCOTT
This is Coke Zero. I don't drink
COMEAU
You don't drink? I remember you
Getting ridiculously drunk off two
G&T's one time and-
SCOTT
(QUICKLY)
Comeau, you know everyone, right?
COMEAU
Pretty much
SCOTT
Do you know this one girl with hair
Like this?
Scott sketches an incomprehensible drawing of Ramona
COMEAU
Yeah man. Ramona Flowers. Someone
Said she was coming tonight actually
SCOTT
WHAT?
COMEAU
You got the hots for her? I hear
She's hardcore...
Scott has already left a Scott-shaped dust cloud...
22 INT. JULIE'S HOUSE - MOMENTS LATER 22
Scott scans the party. His eyes go WIDE. He CRUSHES his
Plastic cup. There she is...playing the wall...RAMONA! Aloof
Enigmatic. Hot. Scott sidles up and stands next to her
SCOTT
Hey, what's up?
RAMONA
Nothing
SCOTT
Hey, you know Pacman?
RAMONA
I know of him
Scott begins to babble
(CONTINUED)
SCOTT
Well you know Pac-Man was
Originally Puckman but not because
Pac-Man looks like a hockey puck
And paku-paku-paku means flapping
Your mouth and they changed it
Because if you scratch out the "P"
And turn it into an "F'? You know?
Like...
RAMONA
Yeah that's amazing
SCOTT
Um...am I dreaming?
Ramona looks at Scott blankly. He slowly skulks away
SCOTT (CONT'D)
I'll leave you alone forever now
"THEN HE STALKED HER FOR THE REST OF THE PARTY..."
Series of quick shots as Scott follows Ramona. He ducks
Around corners, spies from behind a much bigger dude. Ramona Leaves the party
Scott grabs a startled Young Neil
SCOTT
DUDE!
YOUNG NEIL
WHA?
SCOTT
SHE'S TOTALLY REAL!
YOUNG NEIL
WHO!?
STEPHEN STILLS
RAMONA FLOWERS!
YOUNG NEIL
WHUH?
JUMP CUT. Scott RUNS towards Comeau
SCOTT
DUDE. What do you know about Ramona
Flowers?!
COMEAU
All I know is she's American
SCOTT
(EXOTICALLY)
American...
COMEAU
But you should talk to Sandra and
MONIQUE-
"SANDRA AND MONIQUE, 24, TWO GIRLS COMEAU KNOWS"
SCOTT
LADYDUDES! What do you know about
Ramona Flowers?
MONIQUE
I think she has a boyfriend
SANDRA
Some guy back in New York
MONIQUE
Doesn't she have the most
Ridiculous name?
SANDRA
I know. It's so 'œRamona Quimby
Aged 8' and yet...Flowers
The girls laugh. Scott does not
SCOTT
Yeah. What else?
JUMP CUT through a FLURRY OF FACES as Scott asks everyone
ABOUT RAMONA:
PARTYGOER #1
I heard she kicks all kind of ass
PARTYGOER #2
She's on another level
PARTYGOER #3
She's got men dying at her feet
PARTYGOER #4
She's got some battle scars
PARTYGOER #5
Not to be entered into lightly
We end on the surly JULIE (the rude clerk) who steps in front
Of Scott, arms crossed. Stephen Stills is with her
JULIE
What about Ramona Flowers?
SCOTT
You know her? Tell me. Now
JULIE
She just moved here. Got a job with
Amazon. Comes into my work
SCOTT
Does she really?
STEPHEN STILLS
Didn't you say she just broke up
With someone, Jools?
SCOTT
Did she really?
STEPHEN STILLS
That they had a huge fight or whatever?
SCOTT
Did they reeeally?
JULIE
...yes. But I didn't want Scott to
Know that, Stephen
SCOTT
Yeah, I don't know what it is about
That girl, she just-
JULIE
Scott, I forbid you from hitting on
Ramona. Even if you haven't had a
Real girlfriend in over a year-
STEPHEN STILLS
Hey whoa, whoa. Scott's mourning
Period is officially over. He's
Totally dating a high schooler
JULIE
Dating a high schooler is the
Mourning period
STEPHEN STILLS
She's got a point
SCOTT
I thought you guys broke up
JULIE
I don't want you scaring off the
Coolest girl at my party Scott. We
All know you're a total lady killer
Wannabe jerky jerkSCOTT
That's garbage! Completely untrue
JULIE
That time with Lisa-
SCOTT
Misunderstanding
JULIE
That time with Hollie-
SCOTT
Not what it looked like!
JULIE
That time you dumped Kim for-
SCOTT
Hey, me and Kim are all good now
SCOTT looks to KIM. We hear the sound of arctic winds
JULIE
Whatever, Ramona is out of your
League, let's leave it at that
JULIE (CONT'D)
And anyway, I'm not even sure she
Really did have a big breakup. She
Keeps mentioning some guy named
Gideon
SCOTT
(NOT LISTENING)
Yeah, I don't know what it is about
That girl, she just-
JULIE
Forget it Scott!!!
23 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 23
Scott lies on the futon, WIDE awake. Wallace storms in
WALLACE
Guess who's druuunk?
SCOTT
I guess Wallace
WALLACE
You guess right
Wallace flops onto the futon, landing next to Scott
SCOTT
So, that girl. From my dream
WALLACE
Girl. Okay...
SCOTT
I saw her at the library...
WALLACE
Library...can I pretend we're
Talking about a guy?
SCOTT
So then I'm at this party, and hey!
There she is
WALLACE
There he is
SCOTT
I think she's...
WALLACE
You think he's...
SCOTT
I think she's the girl of my dreams
WALLACE
Mmm. Then you should break up with
Your fake high school girlfriend
SCOTT
I've never been so sure about
Something
WALLACE
Then you should break up with your
Fake high school girlfriend
SCOTT
What's that?
WALLACE
Break...up...fake...high
School...girlfriend...
SCOTT
I'm not getting it, friend
Wallace drifts off. RINGY RING! Scott answers. INTERCUT with
STACEY sitting on a bus on her cellphone
STACEY
You're thinking of juggling two chicks!?
SCOTT
Not even!
STACEY
Well, you should break up with your
Fake high school girlfriend
SCOTT
Wait. Who told you?
STACEY
Duh. Wallace
SCOTT
He's not even conscious!
STACEY
Whatever. You of all people should know
How sucky it is to get cheated on
SCOTT
Don't you have a job to do?
STACEY
You're right. I should send out a
Mass text about this. Bye
Scott looks to Wallace, who is out cold, cellphone in hand
(CONTINUED)
SCOTT
Wallace, how do you do that?
HARD CUT to MORNING LIGHT filling the room!
SCOTT (O.S.)
WALLACE!
Wallace sits bolt upright. Scott sits at Wallace's computer
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Amazon.ca. What's the website for that?
WALLACE
...Amazon.ca
SCOTT
Awesome! I have to order something
Reeeally cool
COMPUTER
"You've got mail!"
SCOTT
Dude! This thing claims I have mail!
WALLACE
It's amazing what they can do with
Computers these days
SCOTT
Dude! Now I'm reading it!
WALLACE
I'm so happy for you
SCOTT
"Dear Mr. Pilgrim, It has come to
My attention that we will be
Fighting soon. My name is Matthew
Patel, and I'm" blah blah 'œfair
Warning' blah blah...hmm. This
Is...this is...THIS IS...!!!
WALLACE
WHAT?!
SCOTT
This is boring. Delete!
CLICK.' Scott walks to the front door. Moments pass
WALLACE
Scott. Are you waiting for the
Package you just ordered?
SCOTT
Maybe
WALLACE
It's the weekend. It won't ship
Until Monday at the earliest
DINGY DONG
Scott JUMPS to his feet
SCOTT
You were saying?
Scott opens the door. It's KNIVES CHAU!
SCOTT
Heyyy...
KNIVES CHAU
Attack hug!
Knives smothers Scott
SCOTT
Attack hug. That's cute
He plasters on his best fake smile
KNIVES CHAU
Remember you were supposed to meet
Me at the bus stop a half-hour ago?
SCOTT
How could I possibly forget?
24 INT. SONIC BOOM - DAY 24
Scott and Knives flip through the record bins, out of sync
KNIVES CHAU
Yearbook club is getting SO boring
I cannot believe the music they put
On while we work
SCOTT
That's sucky
25 INT. THE GOODWILL - DAY 25
Knives buys a hip and trendy jacket. Scott sits on a couch
Next to the DO NOT SIT sign, still distracted
KNIVES CHAU
Hannah broke up with Alan and now
She's all into Derek...
SCOTT
Uh huh
26 EXT. PIZZA PIZZA - DAY 26
Scott and Knives walk out of a pizza joint. Knives chows down
On a slice. Scott doesn't eat, his thoughts elsewhere
KNIVES CHAU
...but Tamara claims she has dibs
On Derek
SCOTT
I tell ya'
Scott and Knives play NINJA NINJA REVOLUTION, side by side
Scott plays halfheartedly, his timing off
KNIVES CHAU
Combo!
Knives goes to flip over Scott, but he messes up. THE MIRROR
IMAGE of Scott's videogame avatar appears on screen
KNIVES CHAU
Uh oh, NegaNinja
NEGANINJA - squares up against Scott's avatar
SCOTT
I can never get past that guy
Scott has his little videogame head cut off. The 'œCONTINUE?'
Countdown comes up...10...9...8...
KNIVES CHAU
Do you want to keep going?
Scott takes a long look at Knives
SCOTT
Um, I think...I think...
Scott takes a deep breath. This is never easy. 3...2...1...
28 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE - EVENING 28
STEPHEN STILLS
Game on, everybody. Game. On
An excited Stills addresses Sex Bob-Omb. Scott tunes his
Bass, alone by the window, staring out
STEPHEN STILLS
I got us a show
KNIVES CHAi
OH MY GOSH WHEN?!
Knives BURSTS into frame. Scott winces
STEPHEN STILLS
Wednesday, The Rockit. And even
Better? It's the T.I.B.B
KNIVES CHAU
The Toronto International Battle of

STEPHEN STILLS
S'right. This guy at work was like
"Steve, do you know anyone in a
Band?" and I was like 'œI'm in a
Band' and he was like 'œYou're in a
Band?' and I was like 'œYeah I'm
Totally in a band'-
KIM PINE
Great story, man
KNIVES CHAU
Is there a prize or something?!
STEPHEN STILLS

SCOTT
What? Who?
KNIVES CHAU
You don't know?
STEPHEN STILLS

SCOTT
Oh
YOUNG NEIL
Whoa
Stills gestures to Knives' home-made Sex Bob-Omb T-shirt
STEPHEN STILLS
If we win...it won't just be Knives
Wearing a Sex Bob-Omb shirt. It'll
Be the cool kids too
Knives can barely contain herself. She grabs Scott
KNIVES CHAU
I will do everything I can to get
Out of study group and come
SCOTT
Sure. Great
We follow Scott as he walks in a daze to the bathroom
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
Oh my gosh, who are you battling?
STEPHEN STILLS (O.S.)
Crash and the Boys
YOUNG NEIL (O.S.)
That one band with Crash? And
Those Boys?
KIM PINE
Yeah that's the one
YOUNG NEIL
I hate them!
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
Oh my gosh, I hate them too!
STEPHEN STILLS (O.S.)
Yeah, they suc
29 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE, BATHROOM - EVENING 29
Scott pees in a state of dreamy reverie. The PEE BAR above
His head slowly reduces. He stares at himself in the mirror
Scott exits the bathroom, entering...
30 INT. DREAM HIGH SCHOOL - ? 30
...a long, empty HIGH SCHOOL HALLWAY. Scott's footsteps echo
As he moves towards a classroom door with a STAR on it...
RAMONA FLOWERS bursts through the door, skating past Scott
And down the hall, PACKAGE from AMAZON clutched in her hand
Scott runs after her, around a corner, down a row of LOCKERS
Leading to...the outside of WALLACE'S APARTMENT???
31 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - MORNING 31
Scott LEAPS out of the futon and RUNS towards the front door
THROWING IT OPEN and startling Ramona Flowers just as she
Presses the doorbell. DINGY DONG...
SCOTT
Hi, um, I was thinking about asking
You out, but then I realized how
Stupid that would be
(BEAT)
Do you want to go out sometime?
RAMONA
Um, no, that's okay. You just have
To sign for this alright?
SCOTT
I just woke up, and you were in my
Dream. I dreamt you were delivering
Me this package. Is that weird?
RAMONA
It's not weird at allSCOTT
It's not?
RAMONA
No, it's just like, you've got this
Really convenient subspace highway
Running through your head that I
Like to use. It's like three miles
In fifteen seconds
SCOTT
Right...
(CONTINUED)
RAMONA
Oh yeah. I forgot you guys don't
Have that in Canada
SCOTT
You don't remember me do you? I met
You at the party the other day
RAMONA
Were you the Pac-Man guy?
SCOTT
No. Not even. That was some total
Ass. I was the other guy. You're
Ramona Flowers right?
RAMONA
That's meSCOTT
So, you're like American?
RAMONA
Why, am I coming off as rude?
SCOTT
Not at all. Noooooo...
Scott stands in awe of Ramona. She gives him a pen
RAMONA
You know...you need to sign for
This. Whatever this is?SCOTT
It's something really cool. You'd
Be impressed
RAMONA
You still have to sign
SCOTT
But if I sign for it, you'll leave
RAMONA
Yeah. That's how it works
SCOTT
Okay well, can we just maybe just
Hang out sometime? Get to know each
Other? You're the new kid on the
Block, right? I've lived here
Forever. I mean...there are reasons
For you to hang out with me?
RAMONA
You're all over the place
SCOTT
You are like...my dream girl
RAMONA
I need to find a new route
SCOTT
Either that or you need to start
Hanging out with me
RAMONA
You want me to hang out with you?
SCOTT
Um...you know...if that's cool
RAMONA
If I say yes, will you sign for
Your damn package?
Scott finally signs on the dotted line. And throws the
Package straight in the trash
SCOTT
Done. So, yeah. Eight o'clock?
Scott finds Ramona waiting at the top of some stairs in the
Park. The Toronto skyline gleams in the night behind them
SCOTT
Why are you just standing there?
RAMONA
Dude, I'm totally waiting on you
SCOTT
Sorry, I just assumed you were too
Cool to be on time
RAMONA
Well. You assumed wrong
SCOTT
So what do you want to do? We could
Get a slice at Pizza Pizza or flip
Through some records at Sonic Boom
Oh, or there's this awesome game
Called Ninja Ninja Revolution at-
RAMONA
I'm not into simulated violence
SCOTT
I'm cool with whatever you want to do
RAMONA
This is good
Scott and Ramona trudge through the snow in the empty park
SCOTT
This is good. So how'd you end up in
Toronto?
RAMONA
Just needed to escape I guess
SCOTT
Oh yeah?
RAMONA
I got this job here. And Gideon had
Always said Toronto was one of the
Great cities so...
SCOTT
Is Gideon...is he your boyfriend?
RAMONA
He's...a friend
SCOTT
Was he your boyfriend?
RAMONA
Do you mind if we don't get into
That right now?
SCOTT
It's so not interesting to me
They sit on some swings in the park
RAMONA
So what about you? What do you do?
SCOTT
I'm between jobs
RAMONA
Between what and what?
SCOTT
My last job is a long story filled
With sighs
RAMONA
I know plenty of those
SCOTT
Is that why you left New York?
RAMONA
Pretty much. It was time to head
Somewhere a little more chilled
SCOTT
Well, it's certainly chilled here
RAMONA
Yeah
Uh. Chilled as in cold
RAMONA
Yeah
SCOTT
I'm totally obsessed with you
RAMONA
I didn't mean to get you obsessed
SCOTT
I just haven't been obsessed with a
Girl for a long time. It's weird
RAMONA
That's probably because you sleep
With a guy
SCOTT
Um...
RAMONA
I was guessing from your apartment
But you totally do!
SCOTT
It's... we're just poor! We can't
Afford two beds! We're not gay!
Actually... no... Wallace is pretty
Gay
RAMONA
Dude, relax. I believe you. You're
Too desperate to be gay
SCOTT
I feel so stupid
RAMONA
Aw... you're probably not that
Stupid
Laughing, Ramona hops off her swing
SCOTT (CONT'D)
I'm... mostly stupid
RAMONA
Well, you're definitely stupid if
You want to go out with me
SCOTT
Exactly, yeah
The snowfall gets heavier
RAMONA
This is ridiculous. Isn't it like April?
SCOTT
Yeah. I can barely see you. This whole
Thing is an unmitigated disaster
RAMONA
I think 'act of God' is a pretty
Decent excuse for a lousy date
SCOTT
So this is a 'date', eh?
RAMONA
Did I say 'date'? Slip of the tongue
SCOTT
Tongue...
The snow gets heavier still. Ramona walks away
RAMONA
Anyway, night's not over yet. I think
There's a thingy up here somewhere
SCOTT
A thingy?
RAMONA
A door
SCOTT
A door? I... I... I can't see you
I'm blind. Help me
A door with a STAR on it appears out of the whiteness. Ramona Opens the door
Scott and Ramona fall into blackness...
35 INT. RAMONA'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 35
Scott shivers at the kitchen table of Ramona's cozy, girl
Friendly apartment. He watches as she slips out of her coat
RAMONA
What kind of tea do you want?
SCOTT
There's more than one kind?
RAMONA
We have blueberry, raspberry
Ginseng, sleepytime, green tea, green
Tea with lemon, green tea with lemon
And honey, liver disaster, ginger
With honey, ginger without honey
Vanilla almond, white truffle
Blueberry chamomile, vanilla walnut
Constant comment and earl grey
SCOTT
Did you make some of those up?
RAMONA
I think I'll have sleepytime
SCOTT
That sounds good to me
RAMONA
Let me get you a blanket
SCOTT
That would actually be awesome
Ramona exits. After a moment alone, Scott ventures upstairs
He wanders towards a half open door. Pushing it open, he
Finds Ramona in her bedroom in her bra and skirt
RAMONA
Dude! I'm changing
Scott covers his eyes and our screen goes BLACK
SCOTT (O.S.)
AAAH! Sorry, I'm just...cold!RAMONA (O.S.)
Here, does this help?SCOTT (O.S.)
That's...very warm. What is that?
35 CONTINUED: 35
Scott opens his eyes to see Ramona hugging him
SCOTT
Ohh...kay
They look into each others eyes...camera circles Scott and
Ramona as they begin an awesome make out session. Scott
Imagines himself soundtracking the kiss with a slinky bassline
Ramona breaks off, smiling. Scott is in heaven
SCOTT
Were you..were you just going to
Bring the blanket from your bed?
RAMONA
I guess...
SCOTT
Maybe...maybe we should both get
Under it...since we're so cold
RAMONA
Well...what about our tea?
SCOTT
I can...not have tea
The slinky bassline continues as Ramona takes her skirt off
Revealing black panties to complement black bra. Scott takes
His shirt off. They tumble onto the bed and make out. Then-
RAMONA
I changed my mind
SCOTT
Changed it to what? From what?
RAMONA
I don't want to have sex with you
Pilgrim. Not right now
SCOTT
Ohh...kay
RAMONA
It's not like I'm gonna send you
Home in a snowstorm or anything
You can sleep in my bed. And I
Reserve the right to change my mind
About the sex later
Ramona curls up next to Scott
SCOTT
This is cool, just this. It's been
Like a really long time, and this
Is...I think I needed this
Whatever this is. So, thanks
RAMONA
You're welcome
They exchange a smile. Then without warning we jump cut to -
36 INT. RAMONA'S ROOM - MORNING 36
DAYLIGHT! Scott awakens. Ramona is gone. An arrow points to
The empty spot in the bed next to him
'NO RAMONA'
Another arrow point out that-
'œSHE'S IN THE SHOWER'
Ramona steps out of the bathroom in a towel. Scott relaxes
RAMONA
I have to work
SCOTT
Work?
RAMONA
You have to leave
37 EXT. RAMONA'S APARTMENT - MORNING 37
Ramona skates towards the front gate, Scott walking next to
Her. WAIST DEEP SNOW covers the roads and sidewalks
SCOTT
Hey, can this not be a one night
Stand? For one thing, I didn't even
Get any...that was a joke
RAMONA
What did you have in mind?
SCOTT
Umm...oh, come to the first round
Of this battle of the bands thing
RAMONA
(TOTALLY UNIMPRESSED)
You have a band?
SCOTT
Yeah, we're terrible. Please come
RAMONA
Sure
37 CONTINUED: (2) 37
Ramona shrugs and ROLLERBLADES through the snow...(somehow)
SCOTT
Wait! Can I get your number?
SSSSHHHOOP! Ramona skids to a stop, right back next to Scott
She hands him a note. '˜RAMONA FLOWERS, 212 664-7665, xxxxxxx'˜
SCOTT
Wow, girl number
Scott looks back up. Ramona is already skating far, far away
RAMONA
See you at the show, Scott Pilgrim
SCOTT
Oh, hey! It's tonight...At The-
38 INT. THE ROCKIT - NIGHT 38
'œTHE ROCKIT, FUN FACT: THIS PLACE IS A TOILET'
Ramona wades through a grungy venue under the stare of young
Hipsters, reaching Scott at the bar. He stands with Wallace
And Stacey. She holds hands with a guy wearing glasses
SCOTT
You totally came!
RAMONA
Yes. I did totally come
Scott is so amazed at her presence, his social skills vanish
STACEY
Excuse my brother. He's chronically
Enfeebled. I'm Stacey
RAMONA
Hey
STACEY
And this is Wallace, his room-mate
WALLACE
Hey
STACEY
And this is my boyfriend Jimmy
WALLACE
(staring at Jimmy)
Heyyy
STACEY
And this is Knives, Scott's-
Scott goes white. He didn't even see Knives come in
SCOTT
HEYYYYYYYY!
KNIVES CHAU
Hey
Knives pecks Scott on the cheek. He pushes her away. Knives
Looks kinda sexy, wearing makeup and new clothes
KNIVES CHAU
Do you like?
SCOTT
I...uh...
LEONE STAREDOWNS all around. Stacey stares at Scott. Knives
And Ramona stare at each other. Wallace stares at Jimmy
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Have. To. Go
Scott scurries off. We hear feedback from a mic onstage
PROMOTER
This next band are from Brampton
And they are Crash And The Boys
39 INT. THE ROCKIT, BACKSTAGE - CONTINUOUS 39
Scott runs backstage to see Stills obsessively flipping
Through a chart with hand drawn stats of their rival band
STEPHEN STILLS
This is a nightmare. Is this a
Nightmare? Wake up, wake up, wake up
KIM
Once we're on stage you'll be fine
STILLS
We were just on stage. For sound
Check. The sound guy hated us
SCOTT
It's just nerves! Pre-show jitters
People love us. Right?
Scott sounds less than convincing. He looks up at Ramona and
Knives sitting with Wallace, Jimmy and Stacey in the BALCONY
Crash and The Boys tune up. A drunk Wallace turns to Jimmy
WALLACE
Jimmy. Do they rock or suck?
JIMMY
They...haven't started playing yet
WALLACE
That was a test, Jimmy. You passedCRASH
Good evening. I am Crash, and these
Are the Boys
WALLACE
IS THAT GIRL A BOY, TOO?
CRASH
Yes
TRASHA, 8 year old girl drummer, gives Wallace the finger
A41 INT. THE ROCKIT, BACKSTAGE - CONTINUOUS A41
Sex Bob-omb peer at the band from offstage. Kim glowers
KIM PINE
They have a girl drummer?
B41 INT. THE ROCKIT, STAGE - CONTINUOUS B41
CRASH
This is called "I am so sad. I am
So very very sad." And it goes a
Little something like this
Crash and the Boys play a whole song in .04 seconds
CRASH
Thank you
Wallace yells from the balcony
WALLACE
IT'S NOT A RACE, GUYS!
CRASH
This song is for the guy who keeps
Yelling from the balcony, and it's
Called "We Hate You, Please Die."
WALLACE
Sweet! I love this one!
STEPHEN STILLS
These guys are good. Are these guys
Good?
Kim Pine scowls harder than ever
STEPHEN STILLS
These guys are good
CRASH
This is called "Last Song Kills
Audience". It'll be our last song
Tonight and your last song EVER...
Sound explodes from the stage. The audience are stunned
Stills paces backstage as the others watch the band
STEPHEN STILLS
How are we supposed to follow this?
We're not going to win, we're not
Gonna sign with G-Man and we'll
Never play opening night at the
Chaos Theatre
(FREAKING OUT)
GODDAMN IT SCOTT, WILL YOU STOP
JUST STANDING THERE, YOU'RE
FREAKING ME OUT!
44 INT. THE ROCKIT, BALCONY - CONTINUOUS 44
As Crash And The Boys climax, Stacey turns to Ramona
STACEY
So, how do you know Scott?
RAMONA
He's...um. He's a friend
STACEY
Hard for me to keep track
Sometimes. He has so many friends
Ramona arches an eyebrow. Stacey turns to Knives and Tamara
STACEY
So Knives, how did you meet Scott?
Scott looks up into the balcony, sees Stacey talking to
Knives. He turns around and slaps Stephen Stills in the face
SCOTT
We gotta play now and loud!
46 INT. THE ROCKIT, BALCONY - CONTINUOUS 46
Stacey and Ramona listen intently to Knives' story
KNIVES CHAU
Well, I was on the bus with my Mom-
Knives freezes, staring at the stage
RAMONA
Is that seriously the end of the story?
KNIVES CHAU
OH MY GOSH, they're on!
47 INT. THE ROCKIT, STAGE - CONTINUOUS 47
ONSTAGE: A DISHEVELED PROMOTER walks to the mic
PROMOTER
This next band is from Toronto
And...yeah. So give it up for
Sex...Bob-Omb?
SEX BOB-OMB walk on. Wallace and Knives give the only cheers
STEPHEN STILLS
Scott...you ready?
Scott nods vigorously
STEPHEN STILLS
Kim...you rea-
KIM PINE
WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB. ONE, TWO...
ANGLE on Knives. She faints in the excitement
KIM PINE (CONT'D)
THREE, FOUR!
Sex Bob-omb rock out, barely into the first verse when a
Chunk of ceiling CRASHES down and a SPINDLY INDIAN HIPSTER
KID DIVES HEAD FIRST through the hole, finger pointed at
Scott as he sails towards the stage!
MATTHEW PATEL lands onstage and glares at Scott through a
Lopsided fringe. He wears an evil grin and a jacket that
Borders on flamboyant. He drags on a cigarette (blacked out)
MATTHEW PATEL
Mr. Pilgrim. It is I, Matthew
Patel. Consider our fight...begun!
SCOTT
What did I do?
Matthew Patel leaps in the air and sails toward Scott
SCOTT
What do I do?!
WALLACE
FIGHT!
Scott throws his bass to Young Neil and BLOCKS Patel with his
Left arm, then PUNCHES him across the floor with his right
Patel LANDS like a cat, FLIPS his fringe and GLARES at Scott
MATTHEW PATEL
Alright. Alright
WALLACE
Watch out! It's that one guy!
SCOTT
Thank you, Wallace!
Patel RUNS at Scott. Scott SPIN KICKS Patel in the chin and
Sends him flying into the air. They land in THE PIT, knocking
Hipsters down and squaring off in the resulting circle
MATTHEW PATEL
You're quite the opponent, Pilgrim
SCOTT
Who the hell are you anyway?
The LIGHTING GUY spotlights the fighters
MATTHEW PATEL
My name is Matthew Patel and I'm
Ramona's first evil ex-boyfriend!
SCOTT
You're what?
MATTHEW PATEL
Ramona's first evil ex-boyfriend!
All eyes WHIP up to Ramona...
RAMONA
Anyone need another drink?
Patel attacks Scott with spin kicks. Scott blocks. Patel
Punches. Scott blocks, then holds his hand up for a time-out
(CONTINUED)
SCOTT
We're fighting because of Ramona?
MATTHEW PATEL
Didn't you get my e-mail explaining
The situation?
SCOTT
I skimmed it
MATTHEW PATEL
You will pay for your insolence!
Patel attacks, landing kicks and punches. Scott evades and
Counter-attacks. Patel evades, then lands more punches. Scott
Jump-spins away from danger. They pause, breathing heavy
WALLACE
What's up with his outfit?
OTHER HECKLER
Yeah! Is he a pirate?
Scott looks at Patel's outfit
SCOTT
Are you a pirate?
MATTHEW PATEL
Pirates are in this year!
Patel attacks again. They exchange furious blows, until Patel
Puts Scott in a choke hold. Scott looks up to Ramona
SCOTT
You really went out with this guy?
RAMONA
Yeah, in the seventh grade
The Lighting Guy SWINGS the spotlight to Ramona in the
Balcony. We see a sketchy childlike ANIMATED FLASHBACK
RAMONA (CONT'D)
It was football season and for some
Reason, all the little jocks wanted
Me. Matthew was the only non-white
Non-jock boy in school, probably in
The entire state, so we joined
Forces and took 'em all out. We
Were one hell of a team. Nothing
Could beat Matthew's mystical
Powers. Nothing but pre-teen
Capriciousness. We only kissed
Once. After a week and a half, I
Told him to hit the showers
The spotlight swings back onto Scott and Patel
SCOTT
Dude, wait...mystical powers?
Patel levitates into the air and points at Ramona
MATTHEW PATEL
You'll pay for this, Flowers!
Patel SNAPS his fingers and launches into a BOLLYWOOD SONG!
MATTHEW PATEL (CONT'D)
If you want to fight me, you're not
The brightest. You won't know
What's hit you in the slightest
Patel levitates into the air. Four hot girls in skirts with
Fangs and bat-wings appear in the air around him
MATTHEW PATEL (CONT'D)
Me and my fireballs and my Demon
Hipster Chicks, I'm talking the
Talk because I know I'm slick
Patel and the Demon Hipster Chicks shoot FIREBALLS at Scott
He flips back onto the stage, narrowly dodging the attack
MATTHEW PATEL (CONT'D)
Fireball Girls! Take this sucker
Down
The Demon Hipster Chicks unleash more fireballs. Scott
Dodges. The house drum kit is trashed behind him
MATTHEW PATEL (CONT'D)
Let us show him what we're all
About
Scott hits the ground, dodging a third wave of fireballs
They explode Crash and the Boys in the wings
SCOTT
That doesn't even rhyme
Scott rolls across the stage, GRABS one of Kim's CYMBALS and
Throws it Captain America style. It hits Patel square in the
Eyes. POOF, the Demon Hipster Chicks vanish
MATTHEW PATEL
This is impossible, how can it be?!
Scott leaps into the air. Patel opens his eyes just in time
To see Scott Pilgrim's FIST racing towards his face
SCOTT
Open your eyes. Maybe you'll see
K.O! Scott punches Patel. He explodes into COINS. They
Clatter to the stage floor. Scott lands and picks them up
SCOTT
Sweet. Coins
48 INT. THE ROCKIT, BALCONY - CONTINUOUS 48
Ramona makes her way out fast. Passes Stacey
RAMONA
Well, it was great meeting you
Tell your gay friends I said bye
STACEY
Gay friends?
Stacey turns to see Wallace and Jimmy making out
STACEY
WALLACE?! Not again!
Ramona passes Knives, who is being resuscitated by Tamara
49 INT. THE ROCKIT, STAGE - CONTINUOUS 49
Scott picks up the coins onstage and counts them
SCOTT
Aw man. \$2.40? That's not even
Enough for the bus home
RAMONA
I'll lend you the 30 cents
Ramona yanks Scott away. The Promotor ambles back onstage
PROMOTER
Yeah...so like, Sex Bob-Omb wins
50 INT. THE ROCKIT, BALCONY - CONTINUOUS 50
Knives is now wide awake, clapping wildly from the balcony
Her eyes scan the venue for Scott...but he is long gone
51 INT. THE BUS - NIGHT 51
SCOTT
Sooooooo...
A bemused Scott and mortified Ramona sit on the bus home
SCOTT
What was all that all about?
RAMONA
Uh, I guess...
Ramona takes a breath. Looks deep into Scott's eyes
RAMONA (CONT'D)
If we're going to date, you may
Have to defeat my seven evil ex's
SCOTT
You have seven evil ex-boyfriends?
RAMONA
Seven ex's, yes
SCOTT
So I have to fight-
RAMONA
Defeat
SCOTT
-defeat your seven evil ex's if
We're going to continue to date
RAMONA
Pretty much
SCOTT
So, what you're saying is...
(BEAT)
We are dating?
RAMONA
Uh, I guess
SCOTT
Cool. Do you want to make out?
RAMONA
Uh...
Scott kisses Ramona. The studio audience 'awwww's
52 OMITTED 52
53 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - MORNING 53
A bleary Wallace fries bacon. Scott bursts through the front
Door, a spring in his step. The studio audience applauds
WALLACE
Someone's happy
SCOTT
Well, someone got to second base
Last night. And someone has a
Second date tonight
WALLACE
Someone's lucky then
SCOTT
You know when I say '˜someone', I mean
Me, right? I got to second base last
Night...maybe first and a half
Wallace shoots a look at the idiotically upbeat Scott
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Oh, hey, I'm inviting Ramona over for
Dinner, so you can't be here tonight
I don't want you gaying up the place
WALLACE
Okay, Scott. But in return I have
To issue an ultimatum
SCOTT
One of your famous ultimatums?
WALLACE
It may live in infamy...You have to
Break up with Knives. Today. Okay?
Scott huffs and helps himself to some of Wallace's bacon
SCOTT
But...but...it's HARD
WALLACE
If you don't do it, I'm going to
Tell Ramona about Knives. I swear
To God, Scott
SCOTT
But you...you're...
At this point a sleepy JIMMY wanders out of the bathroom and
Helps himself to coffee
JIMMY
Morning
Scott points bacon at Wallace accusingly
SCOTT (CONT'D)
DOUBLE STANDARD!
WALLACE
I didn't make up the gay rulebook
If you have a problem with it, take
It up with Liberace's Ghost
SCOTT
You're a monster
WALLACE
Now put the bacon down and go do
Your dirt while I watch the Lucas
Lee marathon on TBS Superstation
SCOTT
Who's Lucas Lee?
Wallace points to a hunky actor on the cover of NOW magazine
WALLACE
He was this pretty good skater and
Now he's this pretty good actor
WALLACE (CONT'D)
He's filming a Winifred Hailey
Movie in Toronto right now
SCOTT
They make movies in Toronto?
WALLACE
Yes. I am stalking him later
SCOTT
So, this Lucas Lee-
WALLACE
Lucas Lee is not important to you
Right now! Get out
SCOTT
You suck. Surprising no one
Scott grumbles off. Wallace turns the television way up. We
See Lucas Lee on a payphone in some crummy thriller
LUCAS LEE (ON TV)
Listen close and listen hard
Bucko. The next click is me hanging
Up. The one after that...is me
Pulling the trigger
54 EXT. PAYPHONE ON BUSY STREET - DAY 54
A shivering and annoyed Scott dials the payphone
SCOTT
Oh, hey, Knives. Um, do you want
To, like, talk or whatever?
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
Are you wearing a tan jacket? Like
A spring jacket? And a hoodie?
SCOTT
Ummm...
Scott checks what he's wearing. SPOOKY MUSIC underscores
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
And a dorky hat?!
SCOTT
It's not dorky! Why are you psychic?
A beaming Knives knocks on the payphone glass
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Oh. Uh...okay. Hi
INTEGRATED FINAL 47
55 INT. SONIC BOOM - DAY 55
The SPOOKY MUSIC continues on in the record store
Scott is on edge as Knives geeks over a standee for THE CLASH
AT DEMONHEAD: it features sultry blonde singer ENVY ADAMS
Posing and the rest of the band shrouded in shadow and mist
KNIVES CHAU
I can't believe they're coming to
Town. Will you take me to the show?
SCOTT
Yeah, listen-
The SPOOKY MUSIC gets louder, pounding inside Scott's head
KNIVES CHAU
Oh, hey, I wanted to invite you
Over for dinner
SCOTT
Like, Chinese food?
KNIVES CHAU
Yeah
SCOTT
Hmm. It's not my favorite
KNIVES CHAU
Yeah. Well, to meet my parents
It's my birthday dinner
SCOTT
Uh...I think that's a really bad
Idea. Like, really, just so bad
KNIVES CHAU
No, it's okay. Why?
SCOTT
Well I mean, I'm too old for you!
KNIVES CHAU
No you're not! My Dad is nine years
Older than my Mom...
SCOTT
And...and...are you even allowed to
Date outside your race or whatever?
KNIVES CHAU
I don't care. I'm in...LOVE!
55 CONTINUED: 55
Knives is so smitten, the word actually appears onscreen
Scott brushes it away. The SPOOKY MUSIC comes to a stop
SCOTT
Um, listen...I was thinking we
Should break up or whatever
KNIVES CHAU
Really?
SCOTT
Yeah...um...it's not going to work out
KNIVES CHAU
Oh...
Scott walks out, leaving Knives in the aisle
56 INT. THE BUS / RECORD STORE - DAY 56
Scott sits on the bus alone, thinking about Knives
CROSSCUT with Knives still in the record store, in shock
ON THE BUS: Scott sighs, thinks of something happier...
CROSSCUT with Ramona: rollerblading, her funky pink hair
ON THE BUS: Scott smiles, a little happier
57 INT/EXT. STEPHEN STILLS' BASEMENT - EVENING 57
Sex Bob-Omb tune up. Kim spins a drumstick in her fingers
KIM PINE
Where's Knives? Not coming tonight?
SCOTT
Oh. No. We broke up
Young Neil PAUSES his DS. Kim and Stills share a look
SCOTT (CONT'D)
OH! Check it out, I learned the
Bass line from Final Fantasy 2
Scott plays the insanely simple video game tune
KIM PINE
Scott, you are the salt of the earth
SCOTT
Aw, thanks
KIM PINE
Wait. I meant scum of the earth
SCOTT
Aw, thanks
YOUNG NEIL
You...you broke up with Knives?
SCOTT
Yeah, but don't worry, maybe you'll
Meet my new new girlfriend soon
YOUNG NEIL
Newnew
Kim mimes shooting herself. Stills unplugs Scott's amp
STEPHEN STILLS
Okay! From here on out, no
GIRLFRIENDS or GIRLFRIEND talk at
Practice, whether they're old, new
Or new-new. We were lucky to
Survive that last round. This is
Sudden death now. Okay?
SCOTT
Okay!
DINGY DONG...
SCOTT (CONT'D)
That's for me
Scott opens the door to see Ramona, now sporting BLUE HAIR
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Hey...you're here?
RAMONA
Yes. Like you said. Is it not cool?
Scott ushers her in, weirded out by this hair development
SCOTT
You know your hair?
RAMONA
I know of it
SCOTT
It's all blue
RAMONA
Yeah. I just dyed it. Are you going
To introduce me?
SCOTT
Oh yeah, this is Stephen Stills
Young Neil, that's... Kim
RAMONA
Hey everyone
Everyone mumbles back. Scott still stares at Ramona's hair
SCOTT
Is it weird not being pink anymore?
RAMONA
I change my hair every week and a
Half, dude. Get used to it
(to Sex Bob-Omb)
So...uh...how do you guys all know
Each other?
YOUNG NEIL
High school, I guess?
STEPHEN STILLS
What Neil said
YOUNG NEIL
I'm Neil
KIM PINE
Believe it or not, I actually dated
Scott in high school
RAMONA
Got any embarassing stories?
KIM PINE
Yeah. He's an idiot
Scott fake laughs. Starts ushering Ramona out again
SCOTT
Okay. Cool. See you guys tomorrow
STEPHEN STILLS
Uh, what about rehearsal?
SCOTT
Neil knows my parts
YOUNG NEIL
(TO STILLS)
I'm Neil
58 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 58
Ramona lounges, reading a magazine. A tense Scott hurries
Around the kitchen area, preparing food as Wallace looks on
WALLACE
Are you doing okay there?
SCOTT
Yeah, good. Good
Ramona goes to the bathroom. Scott drops the act
SCOTT
She changed her hair
WALLACE
So? It looks nice blue
SCOTT
I know, but she changed it without
Even making a big deal about it
She's spontaneous. Impulsive
Fickle. Oh my god, what do I do?
WALLACE
I can't believe you were worried
About me gaying up the place
Ramona returns. Wallace pulls on a jacket
RAMONA
How's dinner coming along?
SCOTT
Yeah, good. Good
WALLACE
I'll leave you lovebirds to it. I'm
Heading up to Casa Loma to stalk my
Hetero crush
Scott stops Wallace at the door, with a panicked whisper
SCOTT
Don't go
WALLACE
Will you man the hell up? You could
Get to 2nd and a half base
SCOTT
You think so?
WALLACE
Well, if you strike out in the next
Hour, come find me at the Castle
SCOTT
'œIf I strike out'?
WALLACE
Okay, 'œwhen'. See you in sixty
'15 MINUTES LATER'
Ramona and Scott eat on the floor, picnic style. Scott has
Cooked garlic bread (and only garlic bread) for dinner
RAMONA
This is actually really good garlic bread
SCOTT
Garlic bread is my favorite food. I
Could honestly eat it for every
Meal. Or just all the time without
Even stopping
RAMONA
You'd get fat
SCOTT
No. Why would I get fat?
RAMONA
Bread makes you fat
SCOTT
Bread makes you FAT??
'15 MINUTES LATER'
A nervy Scott serenades Ramona on his bass guitar
SCOTT
So I wrote a song about you
RAMONA
Oh yeah?
SCOTT
Yeah, it goes like this: Ra-mona
Ra-mona, Ra-ra-ra, Mona, Ra-mona
Ra-mona, Ra-ra-ra, Mona, Ooooh
RAMONA
I can't wait to hear it when it's
Finished
SCOTT
Finished?
'15 MINUTES LATER'
Scott makes out with Ramona on the futon. Scott smiles as she
Runs her hands through his hair
RAMONA
Your hair's pretty shaggy
SCOTT
OH GOD! I NEED A HAIRCUT DON'T I?!?
Scott sits up like a shot. Ramona is taken aback
RAMONA
What?
(CONTINUED)
INTEGRATED FINAL 53
58 CONTINUED: (4) 58
SCOTT
Ha. No, sorry. It's just that I
Got... I got a bad haircut right
Before me and my big ex broke up. But
It's so long ago, I can barely
Remember it...
A deep voiced NARRATOR chimes in. Earl Jones deep
NARRATOR
Scott is acutely aware that his last
Salon haircut took place exactly 431
Days ago, three hours before his big
Breakup. He blames this largely on the
Haircut and has been cutting his own
Hair ever since
RAMONA
Sounds like a bad time
SCOTT
Not really
NARRATOR
It was
SCOTT
It was a mutual thing
NARRATOR
It wasn't
SCOTT
I mean, she told me it was mutual
NARRATOR
She dumped him. It was brutal
RAMONA
What was her name?
SCOTT
She was Nat when I knew her. But
She stopped liking that name
Then...she stopped liking me...
RAMONA
Your hair is cute. I like it long
SCOTT
But it'd be cuter short! Wouldn't it?!
Scott disappears and just as quickly reappears, now wearing
His dorky SNOW HAT, hair tucked tightly beneath the flaps
RAMONA
What? Why are you wearing that?
SCOTT
I thought we could go for a walk
59 EXT. ENDLESS STAIRWAY - NIGHT 59
'15 MINUTES LATER'
Scott and Ramona climb a STAIRWAY, long handrail between them
RAMONA
Tell me we didn't come out here
Just so you could cover your hair
With that hat
SCOTT
Nooo. I just love me some walking
Putting one leg in front of the other
RAMONA
You seem a little...heightened
SCOTT
Yeah. I don't know. I just, when I'm
With you I feel like I'm on drugs. Not
That I do drugs, unless you do, in
Which case I do drugs all the time
Every drug, but...you make me feel...I
Don't know. Things seem a little
Brighter around you or something
Ramona and Scott finally reach the top of the stairs and
NIGHT TURNS TO DAY, as if crossing a magical line
RAMONA
What is this place?
SCOTT
A totally awesome castle. They're
Shooting this movie up here
Ramona looks up at the looming CASA LOMA, a castle surrounded
By big, bright movie set lights
RAMONA
Who's in it?
SCOTT
Winifred Hailey and some actor guy
RAMONA
Oh, who?
SCOTT
I forget. Let's find out
INTEGRATED FINAL 55
60 EXT. CASA LOMA - CONTINUOUS 60
A crew readies a shot of WINIFRED HAILEY held hostage by some
GOON. A STAND IN takes the place of the leading man. Scott
And Ramona approach some SPECTATORS, including Wallace
RAMONA
Did you find the guy you're stalking?
WALLACE
I think I'm about to right now
FIRST A.D
Mr. Lee is travelling!
RAMONA
Mr. Lee?
WALLACE
Lucas Lee
RAMONA
Ooh
SCOTT
Ooh?
The UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FANFARE announces LUCAS LEE as he exits
His trailer, smoking a cigarette (blacked out). He skates
Towards the set, doing kickflips. The spectators go 'œoooh'
WALLACE
I want to have his adopted babies
RAMONA
Oh, man. We gotta go
SCOTT
What? Why?
RAMONA
I used to date that clown
WALLACE
Slut
RAMONA
Wallace. I am not a slut
WALLACE
I can think of no higher accolade
Lucas steps to his mark and puffs up into action hero mode
LUCAS LEE
Action
Lucas Lee points his board at the GOON
SCOTT
Oh...my...God...
LUCAS LEE
Hey. The only thing keeping me and
Her apart is the two minutes it's
Gonna take to kick your ass
SCOTT
...you dated a FAMOUS guy?!
RAMONA
In 9th grade. We had drama. Actually
It might have been math. I just
Remember there being lots of drama
LUCAS LEE
HEY!!!
Lucas Lee points at Scott, who remains oblivious
RAMONA
He just followed me around. He was
A little snot nosed brat
SCOTT
He had snot? In his nose? But he's
Famous!
LUCAS LEE
HEY!!!
RAMONA
It's not a big deal. I only dated
Him for a week and a half-
LUCAS LEE
I'm talking to you Scott Pilgrim!
Lucas Lee stomps towards Scott, who gasps
SCOTT
He's famous and he talked to me!
LUCAS LEE
The only thing keeping me and her
Apart is the two minutes it's gonna
Take to kick your ass!
SCOTT
Can I get-
POW! Lucas Lee punches Scott, flooring him. Scott comes back
Up with a pen and paper, wobbly
SCOTT
Can I get your autograph?
POW! Lucas Lee PUNCHES Scott again. He nods to Ramona
LUCAS LEE
Sup. How's life? He seems nice
Lucas Lee THROWS Scott up into a castle turret, crumbling it
Scotts CRASHES down through scaffolding onto the set. Lucas
Holds up his hands for a quick continuity photo, then stomps
Over to pick up a dazed Scott from the ground
WALLACE
Scott. Evil ex. Fight
LUCAS LEE
Think you stand a chance against an
A-lister, bro?
Lucas Lee PUNCHES Scott again. He slides across the wet-down
Ground. A SET NURSE sprays Lucas' knuckles with antiseptic
LUCAS LEE
Some competish you are
Lucas Lee wanders off. Scott staggers to his feet, punchy
SCOTT
Hey... hey... hey! I'm not done-
Scott spins Lucas around, only to find an identical STAND IN!
LUCAS LEE
Looks like you're seeing double
Scott turns to see the real Lucas, smirking on the sidelines
POW! The identical Stand In punches Scott to the ground
LUCAS LEE
He's good, right? Sometimes I let
Him do wide shots if I feel like
Getting blazed back in my winnie
Scott stands to fight the double. Suddenly, COUNTLESS
STUNTMEN fan out behind the STAND IN, all identically
Dressed, all carrying skateboards and ready to rumble
LUCAS LEE
I'm nothing without my stunt team
The Stuntmen ATTACK Scott Pilgrim with a howl. Scott PUNCHES
Through a couple of the boards, Tae Kwon Doe style
WALLACE
Ask them how it feels to always get
His sloppy seconds!
SCOTT
How does it feel to-
KROW! Scott takes a skateboard to the face, followed by a
Barrage of crippling skateboard blows to his knees and ribs
LUCAS LEE
I'm gonna get coffee. You homies
Want anything?
We follow the smirking Lucas to the coffee station. We hear
The noise of punching and kicking slowly subside to nothing
SCOTT
Mr. Lee?
60 CONTINUED: (4) 60
Lucas turns, shocked to see Scott, in front of a PAINTED 2-D
SKYLINE BACKDROP, surrounded by many unconscious stuntmen
SCOTT
You're needed back on set
Scott CHARGES Lucas Lee and leaps into a FLYING KICK. Lucas
GRABS his foot and hurls him through the backdrop. RRRIP!
Scott lands in a CRUMP, framed through the torn skyline
Lucas stomps over to him, preparing for the deathblow
LUCAS LEE
Prepare... prepare to feel the wrath
Of the League of Evil Exes!
SCOTT
The League of Evil Axes?
LUCAS LEE
You really don't know about the
"The League"?
SCOTT
Ummm...
LUCAS LEE
Seven evil exes? Coming to kill
You? Controlling the future of
Ramona's love life?
SCOTT
...no
LUCAS LEE
Oh, well then don't worry about it
SCOTT
Really?
LUCAS LEE
Yeah, bro. Let's get a beer
Lucas offers a hand. Scott goes to shake it. POW! Lucas gets
Him square in the mouth. Scott smiles through his aching jaw
SCOTT
You are a pretty good actor
LUCAS LEE
I'm going for the Oscar this year
SCOTT
But are you a pretty good skater?
LUCAS LEE
I'm more than pretty good, ese
I have my own skate company
Lucas pulls down his shirt, revealing a skate company tattoo
SCOTT
So you can sell them, but can you
Do a thingy on that rail?
Scott points to the LONG HANDRAIL on the stairs
LUCAS LEE
It's called a grind, bro
SCOTT
So can you do a grind thingy now?
LUCAS LEE
Are you serious? There's like 200
Steps and the rails are garbage
SCOTT
Hey, if it's too hardcore...
LUCAS LEE
You really think you can goad me
Into doing a trick like that?
SCOTT
There's girls watching
LUCAS LEE
Somebody get me my board
Wallace taps Lucas' shoulder and hands him his skateboard
WALLACE
Hi. Big fan
LUCAS LEE
Why wouldn't you be?
CLACK! Lucas GOES FOR IT, a perfect ollie onto the rail
Scott and Wallace watch as Lucas disappears from sight
Sparking down the ENDLESS RAIL...HSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...
Cut back to Scott & Wallace, impressed at Lucas
SCOTT
Wow
HSSSSSSSSS...
Cut back to Scott & Wallace, very impressed at Lucas
SCOTT
Wow
HSSSSSSSSS...
Cut back to Scott & Wallace. Scott's about to say '˜wow' when-
BOOOOOOOOM! A fireball appears from the bottom of the stairs
WALLACE
Wow, he totally bailed
SCOTT
Yes!
Fist bump. Scott smacks his forehead
SCOTT
I didn't get his autograph
FIRST A.D
Uh...that's a wrap everybody
SCOTT
Where's Ramona? Is she still here?
WALLACE
No, she totally bailed
SCOTT
What's the deal? Seriously
61 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - DAY 61
Scott slumps on the couch, phone pressed to his ear. Wallace
Cooks bacon in the kitchen (no pants). We hear the OUTGOING
MESSAGE: This is an automated voice messaging system. RAMONA
Is not available, please record your message after the beep
SCOTT
Hey. It's me, Scott again. Call me
Back. Scott Pilgrim
(HANGS UP)
What's the deal? Seriously
Scott ambles over to the fridge and rests his head on it
WALLACE
Yeah, you said that last night
SCOTT
You know what really sucks though?
WALLACE
What?
SCOTT
Everything!
WALLACE
Come on guy, you can't say you
Didn't see this coming. It was
Right under your nose
Wallace points to the NOTE Ramona scribbled which is pinned
Literally under Scott's nose on the refrigerator:
RAMONA FLOWERS, 212 664-7665, xxxxxxx
WALLACE
What did you think these were?
SCOTT
Kisses? Seven little kisses?
WALLACE
Seven deadly X's
Wallace cocks an eyebrow. Scott slides to the floor
SCOTT
Why does everything have to be so
Complicated?
Wallace crouches down to join Scott on the floor
WALLACE
If you want something bad, you have
To fight for it. Step up your game
Break out the L-word
SCOTT
Lesbian?
WALLACE
The other L-word
SCOTT
Lesbians?
WALLACE
Okay, it's 'œlove'. I wasn't trying
To trick you or anything. Look, if
She's really the girl of your
Dreams, then you have to let her
Know. You have to overcome any and
All obstacles that lie in your
Path. You have the spirit of a
Warrior, Scott. You can do it! Be
With her! It's your destiny!
(BEAT)
Plus, I need you to move out
Scott's face falls, completely shocked at this bombshell
SCOTT
What? Why? Are you moving in with
Other Scott or Jimmy or someone?
WALLACE
Or someone. Either way, I'm kind of
Banking on her calling you back so
I won't have to evict you and feel
All guilty and shit
RINGY RING. Scott and Wallace look at the phone
WALLACE
I have a feeling that's for you, guy
Scott picks up. A SEXY, NON-RAMONA VOICE REPLIES...
VOICE (O.S.)
Hey Scott
SCOTT
...Envy?
WALLACE
Oh, shit
ENVY (O.S.)
It's been a long time
SCOTT
Yeah
ENVY (O.S.)
A year I think?
SCOTT
Approximately
ENVY (O.S.)
How are you?
SCOTT
I'm not doing so good right now
ENVY (O.S.)
That's too bad. Still breaking hearts?
SCOTT
What? No, stop. I've been-it's been
Different. You have no idea
ENVY (O.S.)
Probably not. Do you have a
Girlfriend? Should I be jealous?
SCOTT
Yes, you should. I have this
Totally awesome girlfriend who
Calls me all the time. And she's
America. Uh. She's American
ENVY (O.S.)
What's her name?
SCOTT
I'm not telling you that. Ramona
ENVY (O.S.)
Oh
SCOTT
What? Do you know her?
ENVY (O.S.)
Uh. No
SCOTT
It sounded like you did
ENVY (O.S.)
I gotta go. Nice chatting with you
SCOTT
WAIT-
CLICK...Scott slumps to the floor. Wallace appears over him
WALLACE
Okay. Everything does suck
Scott grunts. RINGY RING. Wallace grins and grabs the phone
WALLACE
Or does it?
Scott sits bolt upright, expectant
WALLACE
Oh, hey Knives
Scott lays back down. FUCK
WALLACE
What's that? You're outside?
Scott sits bolt upright again. FUCK! Wallace opens the door a
Crack. Knives shivers outside, pale and broken looking
KNIVES CHAU
Is Scott here?
WALLACE
You know what?
Behind Wallace, we see Scott LEAP through a window head
First. GLASS SMASHES
WALLACE (CONT'D)
He just left
Knives sighs. Scott sprints away in the background
A62 EXT. STREET - DAY A62
Scott walks fast down the street, freaked out and paranoid
He sees five '˜X's looming above him on a pedestrian crossing
And quickly diverts into an...

SHFFF - SOMETHING sweeps him off his feet. He's pissed now
SCOTT
I'm really not in the mood
SHWAA - SOMETHING slices the air in front of Scott
SCOTT
Okay, enough!
Scott punches the air in front of him. Hits SOMETHING. A
DIMINUTIVE DIRTY BLONDE dressed in a punk rock kung fu get up
Lands on the ground with a thump. She spins to face Scott
MYSTERY ATTACKER
You punched me in the boob. Prepare
To die, obviously
SCOTT
Listen, I've had it today. Can we
Not do this right now?
ALT #1:
MYSTERY ATTACKER
(DIXIELAND ACCENT)
Love to postpone, darlin', but I
Just cashed my last raincheck
SCOTT
What's that from?
MYSTERY ATTACKER

My brain!
SCOTT
Well whatever this is about, can it
Wait till I'm in the right frame of
Mind?
ALT #2:
MYSTERY ATTACKER
Nuh uh. This is one nightmare you
Can't wake up from
SCOTT
Wait, am I asleep right now?
MYSTERY ATTACKER
No
SCOTT
So, technically this is not a
Nightmare
MYSTERY ATTACKER
Right
SCOTT
So how can I not wake up? If I'm
Not actually asleep
MYSTERY ATTACKER
Don't question me!
Scott shakes his head, baffled
SCOTT
Well, I'm really, really not up for
This. Whatever it is
MYSTERY ATTACKER
Okay little chicken, then I'll see
You later. But you won't see me
Because I'll be deadly serious next
Time
SCOTT
What?
MYSTERY ATTACKER
Nevermind!
PAF - the Mystery Attacker vanishes. Scott looks to the sky
SCOTT
Oh man. Someone help me
63 EXT. BLOOR STREET - DAY 63
Scott is in his usual payphone, dialing Stacey frantically
SCOTT
It's Scott
STACEY (O.S.)
What did he do this time?
SCOTT
No, it's Scott. It's actually me
STACEY (O.S.)
What did you do this time?
SCOTT
I didn't do anything. It's everyone
Else that's crazy
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Look I need to talk to you, I'm
Having a meltdown or whatever. Are
You still working?
STACEY (O.S.)
I'm literally about to leave
SCOTT
Cool, I'm coming in
Scott hangs up the phone and walks two steps into-
64 INT. THE SECOND CUP - CONTINUOUS 64
Scott approaches the counter. Stacey has her back turned
SCOTT
Think I'll make it a decaf today
Stacey turns around, revealing herself to be JULIE!
JULIE
SCOTT PILGRIM!
SCOTT
AH! What did you do with my sister?
Stacey taps on the window outside, mouthing that she has to
Go. Scott turns back to Julie, not happy
JULIE
What can I fucking get you?
SCOTT
Is there anywhere you don't work?
JULIE
They're called 'jobs', something a
Fuckball like you wouldn't know
Anything about. And by the way, I
Can't believe you fucking asked
Ramona out after I specifically
Told you not to fucking do that!
(Note to concerned reader: Everytime Julie says "FUCK", a
Black bar comes out of her mouth and the sound is bleeped.)
SCOTT
How do you do that with your mouth?
JULIE
Neverfuckingmind how I do it! What
Do you have to say for yourself?
SCOTT
Uh. Can I get a caramel macchiato?
JULIE
Maybe it's high fucking time you
Took a look in a mirror before you
Wreak havoc on another girl
SCOTT
Me? Wreak havoc?
Julie points at THE CLASH AT DEMONHEAD poster behind the
Counter with concert dates at the bottom
JULIE
Fucking speaking of fucking which
I hear the girl that kicked your
Heart in the ass is walking the
Streets of Toronto again
SCOTT
So I can pick up my coffee over
Here?
Scott retreats away from Julie and bumps right into...
RAMONA. They share an awkward moment. She looks at the floor
RAMONA
Sorry that got a little crazy last
Night
SCOTT
Yeah. You kind of disappeared
RAMONA
Yeah, I do that. Listen, I know
It's hard to be around me
Sometimes. I'll understand if you
Don't want to hang anymore
SCOTT
No. No, I want to hang. The whole
Evil ex-boyfriend thing. No biggie
RAMONA
Exes
SCOTT
I mean, I know it's early days, but
I don't think anything can really
Get in the way of how I SHIT!
Scott hides behind Ramona as a lithe figure emerges from the
Steamed-milk mists of the coffee shop...the singer from THE
CLASH AT DEMONHEAD has seemingly stepped out of the poster
"ENVY ADAMS, 23, FUN FACT: KICKED SCOTT'S HEART IN THE ASS."

RAMONA
How old is she?
A 'œWHEEL OF FORTUNE' spins INSIDE SCOTT'S HEAD, with
Selections such as 'œIt was nothing' and 'œShe was nobody.' The
Wheel sticks between 'œI gotta pee.' and 'œWho, her?'

TODD INGRAM
I partake not in the meat nor
Breastmilk or ovum of any creature

Short answer: Being vegan just
Makes you better than most people

Todd lifts up Scott telekinetically and throws him miles into
The air. Scott sails out of shot and into space
STEPHEN STILLS
Hey man, question. I always
Wondered, how does not eating dairy
Products give you psychic powers?
TODD INGRAM
You know how you only use ten
Percent of your brain? Well, it's
Because the other 90% is filled up
With curds and whey
KIM PINE
Did you learn that at Vegan Academy?
TODD INGRAM
Go ahead and get snippy baby, if
You knew the science, maybe I'd
Listen to a word you're saying
Scott returns to earth with a THUMP. He moans in pain. While
The others bicker, Ramona helps Scott to his feet
SCOTT
If I peed my pants, would you pretend
I just got wet from the rain?
RAMONA
It's not raining
SCOTT
Oh. How about you give me the Cliff
Notes on how and why you ended up
Dating this a-hole?
RAMONA
Is that really important right now?
SCOTT
If there's a key element in his
Backstory that can help me out in a
Critical moment of not dying? Yes
A brief, scrappy ANIMATED FLASHBACK of Young Todd and Ramona
RAMONA
I was only dating Lucas until the
Minute Todd walked by. I guess
That's not very nice, but I used to
Be kind of...like that
Young Ramona shoves Young Lucas down a hill and starts making
Out with Young Todd
RAMONA
We hated everyone. We wrecked
Stuff. Nobody cared
Young Ramona and Young Todd wreck stuff. Nobody cares
RAMONA
He punched a hole in the moon for
Me. It was pretty crazy
Young Todd punches a hole in the moon. It's pretty crazy
RAMONA
A week and a half later, he told me
His Dad was sending him to the
Vegan Academy, so I dumped him
Does that help you at all?
The FLASHBACK ends. Scott can only fixate on one aspect
SCOTT
Have you dumped everyone you've
Ever been with? You've never been
The dumpee?

INTEGRATED FINAL 94
83 CONTINUED: 83
We reveal a grim, terse Scott playing a doomy bassline. The
Rehearsal room feels empty without Knives or Ramona
KIM PINE
Ramona dated twins?
SCOTT
Apparently
YOUNG NEIL
At the same time?
SCOTT
You know what? I don't know and I
Don't want to know
STEPHEN STILLS
Good. You know how I feel about
Girls cockblocking the rock
SCOTT
Good. I play better in a bad mood
STEPHEN STILLS
If it's gonna be an issue though
Young Neil can fill in for you
SCOTT
It's not an issue. You know bands
I know battles. We got it covered
STEPHEN STILLS
Well, we'd understand if you didn't
Want to take part
SCOTT
Not only do I want to take part. I
Want to take them apart
STEPHEN STILLS
Okay. I'm getting tingles
YOUNG NEIL
Whoa...
84 EXT. THE NINTH CIRCLE - NIGHT 84
Sex Bob-Omb and Young Neil load their gear at the venue
STEPHEN STILLS
Okay. We're doomed
YOUNG NEIL
Oh...

INTEGRATED FINAL 94A

Flyers cover the outside walls of another rock venue;
'œT.I.B.B! SEX BOB-OMB!! THE KATAYANAGI TWINS!!! AMP VERSUS

KIM PINE
That flyer needs more exclamation marks

STEPHEN STILLS
Oh, we are going to get killed
YOUNG NEIL
Come on. You're onstage in five
SCOTT
Aren't the Katamaris or whatever on
First?
YOUNG NEIL
I think you're both on first?
STEPHEN STILLS
Wait...amp versus amp? We're going
On stage at the same time?
SCOTT
That's impossible-
85 INT. THE NINTH CIRCLE, STAGE - NIGHT 85
'œACTUALLY, NO'
Two stages sit on either side of the auditorium. On one: a
MONOLITHIC WALL OF ELK AMPLIFIERS. On the other, SEX BOB-OMB
With their dinky LAME BRAND amps behind them
SCOTT
Okay. My bad
KIM PINE
Your bad is saying my bad
Sex Bob-Omb stare up at the Katayanagi amps, sweating behind
Their instruments. Stills looks into the audience positioned
Between the bands: a legion of identical INDIE TEENS
STEPHEN STILLS
We shouldn't even be here. We
Shouldn't even be here
Stills tries to run. Scott grabs him and pulls him back
SCOTT
Come on man! I put aside my
Problems for the music. If I can do
That, we can do anything
KIM PINE
Did you speak to Ramona then?
SCOTT
What? No. I haven't seen her since
The other night
KIM PINE
Oh. She's totally here
Kim points to RAMONA in the crowd. She is totally there. Her
Hair is now the BRIGHTEST GREEN, and she stands next to a
Nondescript MYSTERY GEEK in blazer and black rimmed glasses
They are chatting. She looks happy. Scott turns bleak again
KIM PINE
Scott? Not that I care...but you should
Talk to her before she's gone...
SCOTT
THANKS KI-
KIM PINE
And I really don't care
Scott nods at Kim's advice. He looks back to the crowd to
Find the MYSTERY GEEK staring right at him. Then-
Disorienting LIGHTS and LASERS flash on the opposite stage
A wall of FEEDBACK builds...THE KATAYANAGI TWINS appear
Sliding onstage behind their respective keyboard stands
KYLE KATAYANAGI, 23, is very serious and Japanese. KEN
KATAYANAGI, 23, is serious and very Japanese
Scott, Stephen Stills and Kim share a nervous look
STEPHEN STILLS
Okay gang. Can we do this? I mean
We can do this. Right?
KIM PINE
Right
STEPHEN STILLS
Scott?
Scott is distracted again by the Mystery Geek staring at him
KIM PINE
Scott!
Kyle Katayanagi hits a SINGLE NOTE on the keyboard, blasting
An enormous wave of sound at Sex Bob-Omb. It's so loud that
It shakes the foundations and rips the lighting rig from the
Ceiling, leaving a huge hole in the roof. The crowd cheers
AUDIENCE DUDE (O.S.)
They brought the house down
Now an open air venue, SNOW falls onto the stage. An earth
Shaking BASS NOTE blows the dust off Sex Bob-Omb...
Scott and Stills get into battle position. Scott screams!
SCOTT
WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB! WE ARE HERE TO
MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT DEATH AND GET
SAD AND STUFF! 1-2-3-4!
Sex Bob-Omb ROCK OUT, their sound blowing a mass of snow
Towards the Katayanagis. For once, they sound awesome
Kyle looks at Ken. They share a nod. Ken turns their amps up
To the Japanese character for 'œ11'. Their waveforms transform
The swirling snow into a TWO HEADED WHITE DRAGON!
Katayanagi SLAM their Moogs. Heavy weirdness EXPLODES from
The amps! The Dragon blows a BLAST of snowy fire that BLOWS
SEX BOB-OMB OFF THE STAGE. The crowd ERUPTS into cheers
Scott, Kim and Stills lie in a heap under their instruments
STEPHEN STILLS
Let's break up now and get it over
With. We screwed the pooch in front
Of Gideon Graves. We're done
SCOTT
Gideon...is here? Where?
Stills points to the Mystery Geek', who smirks and whispers
In Ramona's ear. This is GIDEON GRAVES, 37, ASSHOLE
SCOTT
That's Gideon?
Scott's eyes reflect Ramona's hair and turn GREEN. He
Struggles to his feet. The crowd slowly stops clapping as
Scott pulls Stills to his feet, then helps Kim up
SCOTT
Alright. Let's do this!
Kim, inspired by Scott's new hardcore attitude, comes in
Heavy on the kick drum. BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!
Heads nod in time as Sex Bob-Omb ROCK OUT! Their waveforms
Transform a mass of snow into a GREEN EYED YETI!
The Katayanagis fight back with their future sounds and their
Sonic Dragon stalks towards Sex Bob-Omb, slinking on perfect
Beat with the Katayanagis' spooky music
The Yeti and the Dragons CLASH at center stage, fighting in
Time to the music!
Scott and Stills bring their pick hands down like fierce
PUNCHES. The Yeti brings it's fists down on The Dragon. Sex
Bob-Omb HAMMER DOWN THE FINAL NOTE:
85 CONTINUED: (4) 85
The Yeti picks up The Dragon and THROWS it at the Katayanagi
Twins, EXPLODING them and their amps into COINS
'œ+999 ROCKING'
KIM PINE
That...was epic
The crowd goes bazooky. A DISEMBODIED SCOTT HEAD appears
Hovering next to Scott
Scott looks for Ramona in the crowd, but she and Gideon are
Gone. Scott hands his bass to Young Neil
STEPHEN STILLS
Scott. What are you doing?
SCOTT
Getting a life
Scott swipes the SCOTT HEAD and jumps into the still-
Applauding crowd. He can't find Ramona, but comes upon KNIVES
Standing alone in her homemade Sex Bob-Omb T-shirt
KNIVES CHAU
I just came to see the show. I'm
Not even stalking you
Knives's unusally composed demeanor gives Scott pause
SCOTT
You seem... different
Knives shrugs, different
KNIVES CHAU
I feel like I know stuff now
Scott and Knives lock eyes. Scott suddenly spots a flash of
GREEN HAIR exiting the building
SCOTT
Ramona...
Scott follows. Knives watches him go, eyes narrowing
86 EXT. THE NINTH CIRCLE - NIGHT 86
Scott chases Ramona down the street outside the venue
SCOTT
Ramona. I have something I need to
Tell you
RAMONA
Yeah, I have something to-
SCOTT
(RUSHED)
Great. Listen, I know you just play
Mysterious and aloof to avoid
Getting hurt. I know you have
Reasons for not wanting to talk
About your past. And I want you to
Know, I don't care about any of
That stuff. Why? Because I'm in
Lesbians with you
RAMONA
What?
SCOTT
I really, really mean it

RAMONA
Oh. Okay
SCOTT
What did you want to tell me?
RAMONA
That we have to break up
SCOTT
What?
RAMONA
Yeah...it's not going to work out
SCOTT
Oh okay...
A sleek black '˜61 Lincoln Continental pulls up behind
RAMONA
It's Gideon. I just...I can't help
Myself around him
VOICE (O.S.)
That's the bad news
GIDEON GRAVES appears behind Scott with Stills and Kim in
Tow. The Lincoln parks. A driver opens the passenger door
GIDEON GRAVES
The good news, Scottie, is I'm
Officially loving the Sex Bombs
SCOTT
Bob-omb
GIDEON GRAVES
Three piece rock outfit with a semi-
Attractive female drummer? Music to
My earholes
Scott glowers. Ramona looks at the floor. Stills is ga-ga
TEXT: An arrow points to Stills' crotch, captioned 'œPEE'
GIDEON GRAVES
You know, I'm not even going to wait
To see how you guys do in the final
I'm signing you right now for a three

Gideon produces a CONTRACT and clicks a pen
GIDEON GRAVES

SCOTT
You think we're gonna sell our
Souls to you? Well then guess-
We hear SCRIBBLING. Stills has picked up the contract and is
Furiously signing it using Scott's back. Kim shrugs and signs
It too, before trying to hand it back to Scott
SCOTT
Nuh-uh. I can't be part of the band
With this douche-in-charge
GIDEON GRAVES
Scottie, buddy, can I just say
Keep your emotions in check. Don't
Let what's past screw up your
Future
Scott watches Ramona get into the Continental. She rolls the
Mirrored window up so Scott stares at his own reflection
STEPHEN STILLS
The people need to hear us, Scott
SCOTT
Then you're going to need to find
Someone else to play bass
A cough. A meek Young Neil slides into view, bass in hand
GIDEON
Looks like we're all set
Young Neil signs the contract. There are hand shakes all
Round. Gideon turns to Scott and pats him on the shoulder
GIDEON
Oh and Scott, we should really be
Thanking each other. I mean, if it
Wasn't for me, you would have never
Been with Ramona, but if it wasn't
For you, she wouldn't be back with
Me. So I guess it all shakes out
Gideon walks around to the driver side of the Lincoln
GIDEON
And hey, the whole League of Evil
Exes thing? I was in a dark place
When I put that together. Forgiven?
Gideon disappears into the Lincoln and drives off and Sex
Bob-Omb drift away. Scott stands alone. He slaps his head-
SCOTT
I said '˜lesbians'!
INTEGRATED FINAL 100A

Ramona sits expressionless in the back of Gideon's car...
Scott tries desperately to think positive...
A smiling Gideon sidles closer to Ramona...

Scott walks forlornly down an empty street and bumps his head
On a telephone pole. 'œTHONK'

A88 EXT. THE PARK - NIGHT / DAY / NIGHT A88
Scott sits on the swings, staring straight ahead
Night turns to day. Day turns to night
Scott remains in the exact same position
STACEY (O.S.)
Was she really the one?
Scott looks over to see STACEY on the swing next to him
SCOTT
The wha?
STACEY
I mean, did you really see a future
With this girl?
SCOTT
Like...with jetpacks?
Stacey stands to go, gives Scott a hug
STACEY
Time heals all wounds, little
Brother. Maybe next time let's not
Date the girl with eleven evil ex-
Boyfriends
SCOTT
Seven
STACEY
Oh. Well that's not so bad
Stacey heads off. Scott looks at the camera
88 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 88
Scott enters. Flicks the light on. Gets a shock
SCOTT
Aaah!
WALLACE (O.S.)
TURN OFF THE LIGHT!
Scott flicks the light off. Over PITCH BLACK...
WALLACE (O.S)
Presumably you just saw someone's
Junk, and I apologize for that
VOICE (O.S.)
Sorry
SCOTT (O.S.)
Was that Other Scott or Jimmy or
Someone?
WALLACE (O.S.)
Or someone
VOICE (O.S.)
It's Chris
WALLACE (O.S.)
It's Chris
89 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - LATER 89
Scott sits in the chair, wrapped in a blanket. SOME GUY lies
In Scott's usual futon spot (wearing Wallace's monogrammed
Robe). Wallace hands Scott cocoa
WALLACE
Scott, you know I love you. But I
Need my own bed tonight. For sex
< b="">
Right
WALLACE
I may need it the rest of the week too
SCOTT
Right
And the year
SCOTT
I get it
WALLACE
Maybe you can move in with Ramona
Scott stares deep into his cocoa and shakes his head
SCOTT
She's with Gideon
WALLACE
Ah. That sucks. But you know, it's
Probably just because he's better
Than you
Scott nods
WALLACE
He'll certainly have better hair
Scott nods
WALLACE
Either way, I think this fight is over
Scott nods
WALLACE
You can sleep on the floor until
You get somewhere else to stay. I
Got you muffs and blinkers in case
This might happen
Wallace produces earmuffs and a sleep mask
SCOTT
Thanks
RINGY RING. Scott stares at the phone. Some guy picks up
SOME GUY
It's for Scott
SCOTT
(TAKES PHONE)
Hello?
GIDEON GRAVES (O.S.)
Hey, pal. Just wanted to say I feel
Terrible about earlier. I don't
Want any hard feelings, so I
Figured why not be the bigger man
And give you a call
SCOTT
Is Ramona with you?
90 INT. GIDEON'S LAIR - CONTINUOUS 90
Gideon appears to sit on some kind of throne. He calls off
GIDEON GRAVES
I don't know. Are you with me?
RAMONA (O.S.)

SCOTT (O.S.)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
GIDEON GRAVES
Geez buddy, it's gonna be alright
91 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS 91
SCOTT
No, I just spilled cocoa on my crotch
GIDEON GRAVES (O.S)
Sure you did. Well as you know, I'm
Opening a new Chaos Theatre in
Toronto and The Sex Bobs are
Playing our grand opening tonight
And it would feel really weird for
All of us if you weren't there
They just did a sound check and the
Acoustics in here are amazing
SCOTT
(GRIM)
Yeah. Maybe I'll see you there
GIDEON GRAVES
I hope so, amigo. I don't want
Anymore bad blood between ex's
What do you say?
SCOTT
Mm
GIDEON GRAVES
Okay laters
Click
WALLACE
What a perfect asshole
Scott turns, alarmed. REVEAL Wallace on the other cordless
WALLACE
Forget what I said earlier. Finish him
92 EXT. STREETS OF TORONTO - NIGHT 92
Snow blows around a steely eyed Scott as he stomps towards a
Group of desolate WAREHOUSES near the water. A lone HIPSTER
KID smokes a cigarette, leaning against a warehouse wall
HIPSTER KID
Password?
Scott shrugs
SCOTT
Whatever
HIPSTER KID
Cool
The Hipster Kid waves Scott in
The warehouse is empty. Scott follows the sound of music to a
GATED ELEVATOR. Two Hipster Kids guard the elevator
HIPSTER KID
Second password?
Scott gives the slightest shrug
HIPSTER KID
Cool
Scott steps into the elevator. So far so good
Scott exits the elevator and steps into GIDEON'S UNDERGROUND
LAIR OF COOL SHIT...the CHAOS THEATRE
All HIPSTER KIDS have gathered in one spot of ultimate
Snobbery. They are legion, wearing identical outfits; Chuck
Taylors, skinny jeans. COMEAU holds court among them
COMEAU
Yeah, their first album is so much
Better than their first album
Scott pushes through the idiot hordes. SEX BOB-OMB are
Playing onstage, now using SWEET BRAND amps, YOUNG NEIL on
Bass. Stills sees Scott walking by as they finish a song
STEPHEN STILLS
Scott!
Scott pauses, looking up at his former bandmates
STEPHEN STILLS (CONT'D)
Let it go. Don't give him the
Satisfaction
SCOTT
What if I want the satisfaction?
STEPHEN STILLS
Well, then you're doomed
GIDEON GRAVES (O.S.)
Scott Pilgrim!
Scott turns to see GIDEON sitting on a throne of cool atop a
BLACK VELVET VIP PYRAMID. Ramona kneels at his side
GIDEON GRAVES
Hey buddy, welcome to the Chaos
Theatre. Somebody get this man a
Drink! Coke Zero right?
A COCKTAIL WAITRESS with a fringe appears with a Coke Zero
Scott takes the beverage and THROWS THE CUP TO THE FLOOR!
SCOTT
I'm not here to drink

I got no beef with you

SCOTT
You mean The League'?
GIDEON
Guild, League, whatever. It's
Ancient history
Gideon puts his arm around Ramona
SCOTT
I'll show you how ancient of
History it is
Scott gets into a fighting stance. Gideon loses his cool
GIDEON GRAVES
No use crying over spilt Coke
Buddy. The lady made her choice and
We're all gonna have to move on
SCOTT
Well I ain't moving...buddy
GIDEON GRAVES
You want to fight me for her?
SCOTT
Was that not clear?
(to Sex Bob-Omb)
Was that not clear?
Sex Bob-Omb shake their heads. Gideon stands up, flexes
GIDEON GRAVES
Now why on earth do you want to do that?
SCOTT
Because, I'm in love with her
Ramona and Scott lock eyes. A new power comes over Scott. He
Reaches for the HEART DESIGN printed on his ratty vintage T-
Shirt and pulls a FLAMING BLUE SWORD from his own chest
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Scott earned the power of love...
Ramona looks away from Scott. Gideon smiles
GIDEON GRAVES
I think this deserves a song
Kimberly?
Kim scratches her head with her middle finger before
Grudgingly launching into a number
KIM PINE
We are Sex Bob-Omb, we are here to
Make money, and sell out and stuff
Kim clicks out a fast tempo. Sex Bob-Omb begin to ROCK OUT
A HORDE OF HIPSTER INDIE KIDS ATTACK SCOTT PILGRIM, ON BEAT
Scott swings at them with his FLAMING BLUE SWORD. He slashes
At them to the beat, exploding each attacker into COINS
Scott then RUNS up the side of the pyramid towards Gideon
GIDEON GRAVES
Ramona. My cane
Ramona hands Gideon a cane with G-MAN engraved on the handle
He unsheathes a SWORD that could not have fit in there
Scott and Gideon LEAP towards each other...Gideon descends
Like a vulture and SMASHES the sword out of Scott's hands
Scott hits the ground HARD, rolling to a stop
SCOTT
Your club sucks, by the way
Gideon approaches, to administer a final blow
GIDEON
If my cathedral of cutting edge
Taste holds no interest for your
Tragically Canadian sensibilities
Then I shall grant you a swift exit
From the premises. And fast
Entrance into HELLLLLLL
Gideon raises his sword. Then from above...
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
SCOOOOOOOOOTT!!!
KNIVES CHAU sails into frame and KICKS the sword out of
Gideon's hands. She lands awkwardly, tripping and falling
Down the side of the pyramid. Gideon chuckles
GIDEON GRAVES
That is priceless
Scott looks to Knives, both concerned and amazed. She quickly
Recovers and POINTS a furious finger
KNIVES CHAU, 18 YEARS OLD, FUN FACT: SCOTTAHOLIC'
KNIVES CHAU
You'll pay for what you did to him!
GIDEON GRAVES
Listen, Kung Pao Chicken, your old
Old boyfriend brought this all on
Himself. He was warned plenty of
Times. But did he listen? Did he f-
KNIVES CHAU
I'm not talking to you. I'm talking
To HER!
Angle on a confused RAMONA standing behind Gideon
RAMONA
What?
KNIVES CHAU
YOU BROKE THE HEART THAT BROKE
MINE! GET READY TO CHAU DOWN!
Knives leaps up the pyramid toward a shocked Ramona!
RAMONA
You're kidding right?
Knives pulls out KNIVES and charges! Ramona fights
Defensively, redirecting Knives' parries without harming her
GIDEON
You can't say I don't know how to
Put on a show
GIDEON lashes out at Scott. He can barely block Gideon's
Tremendous blows, distracted by his duelling exes
RAMONA
What the hell is your deal?
KNIVES CHAU
You stole him with your advanced
American slut technology
DUAL DUEL! The fighters weave in and out of each other
Throwing blocks and punches, KUNG FU STYLE
RAMONA
I don't know what you're talking
About, I didn't steal anyone
Scott lands a KICK to Gideon's chest, sending him flying off
The edge of the pyramid. He then BLOCKS a punch from Knives
To Ramona and spins her away, separating them
SCOTT
Can we please stop all this
Fighting! Nobody stole anybody
Knives, I dated you and then I
Dated Ramona. Okay?
(BEAT)
I mean...maybe I kind of forgot to
Tell Knives right away, but...
KNIVES CHAU
Then you cheated on me, Scott!
(EYES NARROWING)
You cheated on both of us
Knives and Ramona both look at Scott, neither amused
RAMONA
You cheated on me with Knives?
SCOTT
No! I cheated on Knives. With you
RAMONA
Is there a difference?
SCOTT
You weren't wronged?
Scott breaks into a flop sweat
SCOTT
Right?
Knives and Ramona stare at Scott
GIDEON (O.S.)
Game over!
STAB! A sword pierces Scott's chest from behind
GIDEON GRAVES
Scottie. You can cheat on these
Ladies all you want, but you
Can't...cheat...death
Scott slides off Gideon's sword and falls to the ground...
TEXT WITH ARROW POINTING TO SCOTT: 'œDEAD'
Everything goes white...SAND blows through frame...Scott's
Eyes blink open. He looks up into a BLINDING BLUE SKY...
95 EXT. THE DREAM DESERT - DAY 95
Scott sits up next to a lone cactus, rubbing his temples
SCOTT
Ugh
Ramona appears out of nowhere; fainter than before
RAMONA
I'm sorry. Dying probably sucks
SCOTT
You know what sucks? Getting killed
By THAT guy. Why him?
RAMONA
It's complicated
SCOTT
Well, maybe now would be the time
To get into it. Seeing as I'm about
To die
RAMONA
Alright... the truth is, it was me
Who was obsessed. I was crazy about
Him. But he ignored me. I was more
Alone when we were together than I
Ever was on my own. That's why I
Had to leave... and that's when he
Started paying attention
SCOTT
So why go back?
RAMONA
I can't help myself around him
Scott. He just... has a way of
Getting into my head
SCOTT
Well, that's legitimately
Disappointing. I really will leave
You alone forever now...
RAMONA
No. I mean, he literally has a way
Of getting into my head
Ramona lifts her hair up on the back of her head, revealing a
Blinking CHIP implanted on her skull
SCOTT
That is evil
RAMONA
He's like that
Ramona covers the chip, self-consciously touching her hair
SCOTT
So this kinda sucks for everybody, eh?
RAMONA
I'm sorry it had to end this way
We had a good run, I guess
SCOTT
You can't say I didn't try. I
Really fought for you back there
RAMONA
Uh-huh
The winds blow harder, Ramona seeming to fade away
RAMONA
But someone was fighting pretty
Hard for you back there
Scott's eyes go wide with epiphany
SCOTT
Knives?
RAMONA
I wish I was ever as fanatically
Devoted to anything as that girl is
To you
Ramona slowly dissolve away in the sand
SCOTT
I feel like I learned something. Which
Would be great if I wasn't dead
Ramona is gone. Scott slumps to his knees
SCOTT
So...so alone
DA-DING. The PILGRIM-HEAD appears and rotates around Scott

WALLACE (O.S.)

Scott flicks the light off. On PITCH BLACK...
SCOTT
Wallace, when my journey began, I
Was living in an ordinary world
Ramona skated through my dreams and
It was like a call to adventure, a
Call I considered refusing. But my
Mentor, that's you, told me if I
Want something bad enough I have to
Fight for it. So I did. There were
Tests, allies, enemies. I
Approached a deep cave and went
Through a crazy ordeal, during
Which I totally seized the sword
Sadly, I died. Then I resurrected!
Now I realize what I should have
Been fighting for all along. But
Before I do that, I need to ask one
Final favor of you
WALLACE (O.S.)
Sure thing, guy
SCOTT
Could you put a robe on and hand me
The phone?
Wallace flicks on a bedside lamp, hands him the phone
SCOTT

SCOTT
Knives! I know you're in here!
Don't attack Ra-
Knives SAILS through the air and KICKS Ramona in the head
SUPER HARD. We hear a METALLIC KLONK
They square off, Ramona staggered, Knives pulling KNIVES
KNIVES CHAU
Steal my boyfriend, taste my steel
Scott jumps between them, hands held out
SCOTT (CONT'D)
ENOUGH!
Knives tries to go around him. Scott GRABS her wrists. She
Kicks him in the face
KNIVES CHAU
No, Scott! This fat ass hurt me and
I will have my revenge!
SCOTT
No, Knives. I hurt you. I cheated
On you
Knives steps back, stunned
KNIVES CHAU
You cheated on me Scott?
SCOTT
I cheated on both of you. And I'm
Sorry. I was a different guy back
Then
Knives' frown melts. Scott turns to Ramona
SCOTT (CONT'D)
And...you're not a fat ass. She didn't
Mean that. So, are we all good?
Ramona rubs the back of her head. The CHIP no longer blinks
RAMONA
Never felt better
GIDEON GRAVES (O.S.)
Are we all done with the hugging
And learning? I thought we had a
Fight going here
All turn to see GIDEON; bloodied, but still grinning, a
Lopsided slash across his face accentuating his smirk

SCOTT
Oh, you got a fight alright
Scott steps into a fighting stance. Knives joins him
GIDEON
Ramona. Are you with me?
Ramona looks to Gideon, then joins Scott and Knives and
STRIKES A FIGHT POSE, the three of them ready to rumble
GIDEON (CONT'D)
Wrong move, baby
Scott ATTACKS with his sword. Gideon BLOCKS, disarms Scott
With one move, spins and BUTTS Scott in the face with the
Hilt of the sword. Scott teeters on the edge of the pyramid
Knives throws her knives. Gideon's lightning fast sword
Deflects them, SHING SHING!
Gideon wheels towards Ramona, expecting her to move. She
Looks doubtful, takes a hesitant step towards him. He grins
GIDEON (CONT'D)
Yeah. You're still my girl
Ramona steps up to Gideon and whispers in his ear
RAMONA
Let's both be girls
Ramona knees Gideon in the balls
Gideon SWINGS his sword at Ramona. Knives whips off her
Scarf, uses it to wrap up Gideon's sword arm and disarms him
Scott and Knives punch Gideon in the face in a volley of
FREEZE FRAMES
Knives KICKS Gideon in the stomach and Scott follows with a
PUNCH IN THE NOSE, sending Gideon sliding across the floor
Gideon gets back to his feet via backflip. He shakes off the
Assault and grins
GIDEON
You made me swallow me gum. That's
Going to be in my digestive tract
For seven years!
Gideon throws a series of Wushu moves that give him a POWER
UP - his glasses glow, his HEALTH BAR increases. He makes an
'œX' with his fingers and a draws a NEW POWER UP SWORD
He cuts big arcs at Scott, Knives and Ramona. They barely
Dodge him. Scott SPIES his sword and picks it up just in time
To BLOCK Gideon's attack. The swords create an 'œX'
Ramona KICKS. Gideon BLOCKS, knocking her down
Gideon swings at Scott. Scott ducks. Knives attacks and
Scores a hit. Gideon hits her back, dropping her
SCOTT ATTACKS. They fence. Gideon spins low. Scott leaps in
The air. Gideon spins again and swings upward. Scott blocks
With his sword and is sent UP into the air. Gideon jumps
After him. They CLASH in the air. Scott's sword SHATTERS

Sword for the kill. Ramona swings Gideon's VELVET ROPE
Cancelling out Gideon's digital sword
Gideon SLAPS Ramona in the face and sends her painfully
Tumbling down the pyramid. She lands painfully at the bottom
Knives and Scott share a look. They Get up and circle Gideon
COMBO ATTACK! FREEZE FRAME PUNCHES: Knives kicks and Scott
Punches, sending Gideon back and forth like a pinball: KICK
PUNCH KICK PUNCH KICK! Gideon's face smashes with each
Impact
Ramona rises to see Scott and Knives kicking ass
Scott slides Knives through Gideon's legs. From the floor
She kicks him in the back of the head, then upends him like a
Wheelbarrow and KICKS HIM IN THE FACE, sending him spinning
Gideon lands HARD on his knees, defeated. One lens of his
Glasses cracks. He looks up at the steely eyed Scott
GIDEON (CONT'D)
Who do you think you are Pilgrim?
You think you're better than me?
I'll tell you what you are. A pain
In my ass. You know how long it
Took to get all the evil exes'
Contact information so I could form
This stupid league? Like two hours!
Gideon starts to pixellate quite badly. Not long now...
GIDEON (CONT'D)
You're not cool enough for Ramona
You're zero. You're nothing. Me?
I'm what's hip. I'm what's

For Ramona. And you got another
Thing right. You are blowing up
Right now
Scott spins and BACK HEELS Gideon in the face
Gideon's head EXPLODES, his glasses SAILING down the steps of
The pyramid. Then his body follows suit in an almighty-
POOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
SHIMMERING COINS rain down. Scott and Knives kiss
YOUNG NEIL
Whoa...
KIM PINE
There goes our deal
STEPHEN STILLS
We're still getting paid, right?
Kim points to the falling coins
KIM PINE
There goes our deal
YOUNG NEIL
Oh...
Stills jumps off stage and picks up coins
The coin rain continues, silhouetting Scott and Knives in
Their kung fu poses. They share a smile
RAMONA (O.S.)
You two make a good combo
Ramona, awake now, makes her way towards them
SCOTT
Yeah?
RAMONA
Yeah

99 CONTINUED: (9) 99
The trio walk down the pyramid steps. Scott picks up Gideon's
Fallen glasses
The glasses GLIMMER. GIDEON'S VOICE echoes
GIDEON'S VOICE (O.S.)
You can defeat me...but can you
Defeat...yourself?
Scott peers into the glimmering lenses, spotting his EVIL
MIRROR IMAGE staring back at him. The glasses dissolve and
Scott whips around to face...
KNIVES CHAU
Negascott!
NEGASCOTT walks towards Scott, Knives and Ramona. Fringed
Hair. Dark clothes. Evil face
Knives and Ramona flank Scott in a fighting stance
SCOTT
No. This is something I have to
Face on my own
The girls reluctantly exit stage left as Scott walks forward
To confront his dark side
Scott and Negascott face off. Both take a step forward...
100-103 OMITTED 100-103
104 EXT. THE WAREHOUSE - EVENING 104
Knives and Ramona huddle in the snow outside Chaos Theatre
They look expectantly at the entrance, worried for Scott
Then...
Scott strolls out with Negascott. They chat amiably, shake
Hands and part ways. Scott approaches Knives and Ramona
KNIVES CHAU
What happened?
SCOTT
Aw, nothing. We just shot the shit
He's a super-nice guy. We actually
Have a lot in common
Scott runs his fingers through his hair
KNIVES CHAU
Your hair
SCOTT
What?
KNIVES CHAU
It's getting really shaggy
Scott's HAT appears on his head! He looks totally freked
SCOTT
Yeah?
KNIVES CHAU
I like it
Knives removes the hat from Scott's head, literally taking
His guard down. Ramona sees this and smiles
SCOTT
You do?
Scott smiles, then realizes Ramona has gone. He turns to see
Her, pulling her hood up and walking into the darkness
Scott calls after her. Steps tentatively away from Knives
SCOTT
Hey... Where are you going?
Ramona, hoping to slip away, stops and turns back
RAMONA
I dunno. I should probably
Disappear
SCOTT
After all that?
RAMONA
It's hard, you know? I came here to
Get away, but the past keeps
Catching up. I'm tired of people
Getting hurt because of me
Ramona looks at Knives as she says this
SCOTT
I think I understand
Snow begins to fall. Ramona straightens his parka tenderly
RAMONA
I should tahnk you, though
SCOTT
For what?
RAMONA
For being the nicest guy I ever
Dated
SCOTT
That's kind of sad
RAMONA
(ALMOST LAUGHING)
It is kind of sad
She takes his hand briefly, then lets it drop
RAMONA
Well... Bye and stuff
SCOTT
Yeah. And stuff
She turns to walk off again. Scott watches, then hears-
KNIVES (O.S.)
Go get her
Surprised, Scott turns back to see a smiling Knives
SCOTT
Wha?
KNIVES
You earned it. You've been fighting
For her all along
SCOTT
But what about you?
KNIVES
(totally sweet and sad)
I'll be fine. I'm too cool for you
Anyway
She grins and kisses his cheek
KNIVES
There's someone out there for me
We hear a COUGH - Young Neil sidles into frame behind her
Guitar still in hand
We hear a 2ND COUGH - Nega Scott also sidles into frame
Knives doesn't look back, but urges Scott to-
KNIVES
Go talk to her. Before she's gone
Ramona walks on into the night alone, but then-
SCOTT (O.S.)
Hey... mind if I tag along?

Ramona is flabbergasted to see a cheery Scott walk alongside
RAMONA
You want to come with me?SCOTT
(HOPEFUL) I thought maybe we could... try
Again?
Ramona smiles. She holds out her hand like in the park scene
Earlier. Scott takes it
We see the door with the star on it, standing right in the
Middle of the street, snow swirling around it
Scott and Ramona walk towards the door, sunrise coming up
Over Toronto, night magically turning to day, winter turning
To spring
Over this magical transformation, we hear a lush rendition of
"Ramona" swelling and hear whispers of gossip over Toronto's
Cell phone airwaves
JULIE
Oh my God, can I blow your mind?
Scott Pilgrim totally threw down
With Gideon Graves at the grand
Opening of Chaos Theater. Yeah, it
Was apparently awesome
STACEY (V.O.)
Oh my God, it was a HUGE fight. I
Mean bananas. My little brother
Kicked a guy's head off. Literally
It was unbelievable. Someone
Seriously should have been filming
It
Scott and Ramona walk through the door. Tilt up to the
Heavens and reveal the CONTINUE graphic in the stars

Snowy suburbs of Toronto. From a nondescript house we hear:
KIM PINE
Scott Pilgrim is dating a high schooler?
2 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' KITCHEN - DAY 2
Four twenty-somethings lounge around a small kitchen table
STEPHEN STILLS, 25, shaggy hair, Canadian Cowboy chic
STEPHEN STILLS
Really? Is she hot?
KIM PINE, 22, cute, bitter, sweatshirt with a zipper
KIM PINE
How old are you now, Scott? Like
Twenty-eight?
SCOTT
I'm not playing your little games
KIM PINE
So you've been out of high school
For like, 13 years and-
SCOTT
I'm twenty-two. Twenty-two!
STEPHEN STILLS
And you're dating a high school
Girl? Not bad, not bad
YOUNG NEIL, 20, simple mind, layered T-shirts
YOUNG NEIL
Like, did you guys 'do it' yet?
SCOTT PILGRIM, 22, fresh faced and charmingly cocky with an
Unruly yet adorable mop of hair
SCOTT
We have done many things.
We ride the bus.
We have meaningful conversations about how yearbook club went and about her friends, and, um...you know...drama
STEPHEN STILLS
Yeah, okay, have you even kissed her?
SCOTT
We almost held hands once, but then
She got embarrassed
KIM PINE
Well. Aren't you pleased as punch?
STEPHEN STILLS
So, what's her name?
SCOTT
(pleased as punch)
Knives Chau. She's Chinese
STEPHEN STILLS
(under his breath)
Chinese...
Young Neil pauses his Nintendo DS
YOUNG NEIL
Wicked! How'd you meet her?
SCOTT
I believe I mentioned the bus?
Scott Pilgrim prepares to tell an amazing story:
3 INT. THE BUS - NIGHT 3
KNIVES CHAU, 17, cute and innocent with clothes to match
Sits next to her mother, MOTHER CHAU, 45, demanding
MOTHER CHAU
You are seventeen year old! Time to
Get interested in boy!
KNIVES CHAU
Mom!
Knives DROPS her bag, books scattering everywhere
MOTHER CHAU
You drop book
Knives crouches down to pick up her books, grumbling
SCOTT (O.S.)
Hey...
Knives looks up to see the cute and gallant SCOTT PILGRIM
Holding her books. TEXT appears in an on-screen box:
"SCOTT PILGRIM, 22 YEARS OLD, RATING: AWESOME."
Stars appear in Knives's eyes. Scott grins heroically. Scott
Winks at Knives. Scott winks at the camera
4 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' KITCHEN - DAY 4
Back in the kitchen, everyone looks at Scott...
KIM PINE
Is that seriously the end of the story?
SCOTT
Yes. It is
Young Neil unpauses his Nintendo DS
STEPHEN STILLS
So when do we get to meet her?
KIM PINE
Oh please. Let it be soon
DINGY DONG! The doorbell rings. Scott smiles broadly
SCOTT
That's for me
5 INT/EXT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE - DAY 5
An eager Knives stands outside. Scott opens the door a crack
SCOTT
You promise to be good?
KNIVES CHAU
Of course I'll be good!
SCOTT
No, really. Please be good
KNIVES CHAU
Am I normally not?
Stephen Stills comes to the door and peers through
SCOTT
Oh, hey. Knives, this is Stephen
Stills. He's the talent
STEPHEN STILLS
Hey
STILLS shuts the door on a confused Knives
STEPHEN STILLS
Is she gonna geek out on us?
SCOTT
She'll just sit in the corner, man
STEPHEN STILLS
I mean, I want her to geek out on us
B>SCOTT
She'll geek. She geeks. She has the
Capacity to geek
Stephen Stills quickly opens the door and waves Knives in
(CONTINUED)
STEPHEN STILLS
You're good
6 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE - DAY 6
Knives enters, looking around the rehearsal pad with awe:
Bare bulb, ratty rug, drums, guitar, bass, LAME BRAND amps
KNIVES CHAU
Wow
SCOTT
Knives, that's Kim. Lemme get your coat
Scott throws Knives' coat on the floor. Knives waves
KNIVES CHAU
Hi, sorry, what was your name?
KIM PINE
Kim
KNIVES CHAU
You play the drums?
REVEAL Kim sitting behind the drumset, sticks in her hands
KIM PINE
...yes
KNIVES CHAU
That is so awesome
SCOTT
Knives, that's Young Neil
KNIVES CHAU
Hi. What do you play?
YOUNG NEIL
Uh, wow...Zelda...Tetris...that's
Kind of a big question
Knives stares blankly at Young Neil, who finally gets it
YOUNG NEIL
Oh. I'm not in the band. I just
Live here
Sex Bob-Omb has geared up. Amps hum to life
SCOTT
Let's start with Launchpad McQuack
STEPHEN STILLS
That's not the actual title of the-
KIM PINE

Kim BASHES the kit and Sex Bob-Omb EXPLODE INTO ROCK! GUITAR
AND BASS LEADS LEAP INTO THE AIR, SPELLING OUT OUR TITLE...
SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD
TITLES continue over the song as the small rehearsal space
Seems to GROW with the music. Stephen Stills barks
Unintelligable lyrics
Knives watches, jaw ajar. The song ends, feedback lingering
KNIVES CHAU
You guys...are so...amazing
7 EXT. BUS STOP - EVENING 7
Scott bids adieu to a stunned Knives as she gets on a bus
KNIVES CHAU
I can't even...Sex Bob-Omb
Amazing

The band and Young Neil lounge around Stephen Stills' room

Yeaaah
KIM PINE
Scott, if your life had a face I
Would punch it
SCOTT
Yeaaah...wait, what?
KIM PINE
I mean, are you really happy or are
You really evil?
SCOTT
Like, do I have ulterior motives or
Something? I'm offended, Kim
STEPHEN STILLS
Wounded even?
SCOTT
Hurt, Kim
KIM PINE
You? Hurt?
Scott takes a breath, turns to Young Neil
SCOTT
Neil, you were saying she seems awesome
YOUNG NEIL
Yeah, she seems awesome
SCOTT
Yeaaaah...
9 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - EVENING 9
Scott hangs his coat up in a tiny, one room apartment. He
Turns to WALLACE WELLS, dark hair, arched eyebrow, disloyal
"WALLACE WELLS, ROOMMATE, 24 YEARS OLD, FUN FACT: HE IS GAY!"
SCOTT
Before you hear some dirty lies
From someone else, yes, I'm dating
A 17 year old
Wallace looks up from the NOW magazine he's reading
WALLACE
Is he cute?
SCOTT
Ha, ha, ha, ha
WALLACE
Does this mean we have to stop
Sleeping together?
SCOTT
Do you see another bed in here?
TINY BOXES OF TEXT indicate the ownership of the items in the
One room flat: 95% belongs to Wallace, FUTON included
WALLACE
Yeah. You're totally my bitch forever
SCOTT
So. The whole seventeen year old
Thing. Don't tell too many people
WALLACE
Hey, you know me
SCOTT
I mean. Don't tell my sister
WALLACE
You know me
Wallace tosses the NOW magazine aside, starts texting
SCOTT
Who are you texting?
RINGY RING. The phone goes. Scott picks up
STACEY (O.S.)
Seventeen years old? Scandal!
Intercut with STACEY PILGRIM, cute, peppy barista, gabbing on
Her cellphone in THE SECOND CUP. A sign behind her reads 'œIf
You are using your cellphone, you will not be served'
"STACEY PILGRIM, YOUNGER SISTER, 19, RATING: 'T' FOR TEEN."
SCOTT
That's not true. Who told you?
STACEY
Wallace. Duh
SCOTT
That gossipy bitch
WALLACE (O.S.)
You know me
Scott turns to see Wallace on a second cordless
SCOTT
Wallace!
Wallace clicks off. Scott sinks into an armchair
STACEY
Who is this mysterious child you date?
SCOTT
Her name is Knives. Knives Chau
STACEY
A seventeen year old Chinese
Schoolgirl? You're ridiculous
SCOTT
It's a Catholic school too
STACEY
With the uniform and everything?
SCOTT
Yeah, the whole deal
STACEY
Oh my God, you haven't-
SCOTT
No no no. We haven't even held
Hands. I think she hugged me once
STACEY
Um, Scott. Why are you doing this?
SCOTT
I don't know...it's just nice, you
Know? It's just...simple
STACEY
It's been over a year since you got
Dumped by she-who-will-not-be-named
Scott glances down at the partially obscured NOW magazine
Looking into the HOT GIRL'S EYES on the back cover album ad
STACEY (CONT'D)
So, are you legitimately moving on
Or is this just you being insane?
Scott looks at a strip of photobooth pictures: he smiles next
To a hot redhead in happier times
SCOTT
Can I get back to you on that?
A SCHOOL BELL clangs loudly...
10 EXT. CATHOLIC SCHOOL - DAY 10
Wallace and Scott stand outside a CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL
Uniformed boys and girls pour out
WALLACE
I do not want to be here. At all
SCOTT
This school has boys too
WALLACE
I hate you. Even I would think twice
About dating a seventeen year old
SCOTT
Well, she's only allowed out when
The sun is up, so I wouldn't call
It dating, more like...
WALLACE
Playtime?
SCOTT
That doesn't sound so good either
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
Scott! Heyyyy!
Knives skips to Scott. Her shy friend TAMARA lingers behind
SCOTT
Hey Knives, this is my cool gay
Roommate, Wallace Wells. He's gay
KNIVES CHAU
Oh, hi! Do you want to know who in
My class is gay?
WALLACE
Yes. Does he wear glasses?
SCOTT
Wallace, you go now! Begone!
Wallace pulls Knives close. Whispers
WALLACE
You're too good for him. Run
11 INT. THE ARCADE - DAY 11
Scott and Knives play NINJA NINJA REVOLUTION (think a martial
Arts version of DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION)
They punch and kick in unison, side by side
SCOTT
Did you know the original name of Pac-
Man was Puck-man? You would think it's
Because Pac-Man looks like a yellow
Hockey puck, but actually it comes
From the Japanese phrase paku-paku
Which means to flap ones mouth open
And closed. They changed it over here
Because Puck-Man is too easy to
Vandalize. You know, scratch out the P
And turn it into an F or whatever?
Knives flips over Scott's back in a COMBO move
KNIVES CHAU
Ohmigod, like...wow
SCOTT
Yeah. Wow
The game ends. CONTINUE appears, counting down: 10...9...8...
Scott looks at Knives. She digs for quarters
KNIVES CHAU
Oh, I got it!
Scott and Knives leave a pizza joint, slices in hand
KNIVES CHAU
Tamara is into this Korean guy
Bobby, but everyone thinks Bobby
Has a crush on Mina
SCOTT
I thought Derek and Tamara had a
Mutual like-each-other thing going
What happened?
A13 INT. THE GOODWILL - DAY A13
Scott and Knives shop for T-shirts. Hangers click in time
KNIVES CHAU
I don't listen to much music. I
Know a lot of kids who play piano
Or whatever, but you guys ROCK
SCOTT
I knew I personally rocked, but I
Never suspected that we rocked as a
Unit. Thank you, Knives
13 INT. SONIC BOOM (RECORD STORE) - DAY 13
Scott and Knives flip through records in perfect sync
KNIVES CHAU
I mean, you guys are gonna be HUGE
SCOTT
Well, we're already pretty big. But
It might be cool if cool people
Wore our T-shirt
Knives speaks to a female clerk, surly with tats and specs:
"JULIE, 22, STILLS' GIRLFRIEND, RATING: WHAT IS HER PROBLEM?"
KNIVES CHAU
Excuse me, do you have anything by
'The Clash At Demonhead'?
JULIE
Have you tried the section marked
'The Clash At Demonhead'?
SCOTT
Thank you, Julie
JULIE
Are you coming to my party Friday
Or will you be busy babysitting?
SCOTT
Thank you, Julie
(TO KNIVES)
You don't want to listen to her
SCOTT (CONT'D)
And you definitely don't want to
Listen to them
Scott puts The Clash at Demonhead CD back in the rack
KNIVES CHAU
Oh, I heart them so much
SCOTT
I hearted them too until they signed
To a major label and the singer turned
Into a total bitch and ruined my life
But that's just me
KNIVES CHAU
(OBLIVIOUS)
Envy Adams is sooo cool. Do you
Read her blog?
SCOTT
Sorry, you were saying about me?
14 EXT. SNOWY TORONTO STREET - DAY 14
Scott and Knives amble down a snow covered sidewalk
KNIVES CHAU
I mean, I've...I've never gone out
With someone so talented
SCOTT
You go out with a lot of guys?
KNIVES CHAU
...no
SCOTT
Yeah, so whatever, man!
KNIVES CHAU
I've never even kissed a guy
Knives blushes and looks at the ground. Scott hugs her
SCOTT
Me neither
15 EXT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - DAY 15
Scott and Knives walk up to the front of Wallace's apartment
KNIVES CHAU
So this is your secret lair? Can I
Come in?
SCOTT
My secret lair is one of those 'no
Girls allowed' deals
KNIVES CHAU
Oh, okay
SCOTT
But do you want to see the house
Where I grew up?
KNIVES CHAU
Sure
They literally walk across the street to a small house
SCOTT
Here you go
KNIVES CHAU
Wow
SCOTT
Yeah. Wow
Wind blows. The light snowfall turns into sand...
16 EXT. THE DREAM DESERT - HOTTEST DAY 16
...Scott wanders alone through a barren land. He falls to his
Knees next to a lonely cactus
SCOTT
Oh God...so...so alone
A MYSTERIOUS GIRL rollerblades across the shifting sands. She
Wears fishnets, an army jacket, skirt and goggles. Her pink
Hair is funky but cool. She is hotter than the desert sun
< b>MYSTERIOUS GIRL [Ramona]
You're not alone. You're just
Having some idiotic dream
SCOTT
Does that mean we can make out?
But she's gone...
17 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - ? 17
...SCOTT WAKES UP, sitting up in the FUTON
SCOTT
Oh God...
Wallace wakes up to the left of Scott, rubbing his eyes
WALLACE
What is it, Scott?
SCOTT
I had this totally weird dream
OTHER VOICE
Oh God
WALLACE
What is it, Scott?
A scruffy, goateed guy wakes right between Scott and Wallace:
"OTHER SCOTT, 22, WALLACE'S BOYFRIEND? FUN FACT: GUY CURIOUS"
OTHER SCOTT
Can we skip the dreamtime? Color me
Not interested
SCOTT
But there was this girl...
WALLACE
Girl?
OTHER SCOTT
Was this an Envy related dream?
WALLACE
We don't use the E-word in this house
SCOTT
No, it wasn't her. It was somebody new...
OTHER SCOTT
Yay for that
Other Scott goes back to sleep. Wallace rubs his eyes
WALLACE
Speaking of new, weren't you
Supposed to take your fake high
School girlfriend to the library a
Half-hour ago?
SCOTT
What? It's like, six in the morning
Scott opens the bathroom door. Sunlight ignites the room
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Arrrrgh!
KNIVES CHAU
What's wrong?
Scott is noticeably taller than all the teens in the library
He carries a stack of books for Knives
SCOTT
Libraries remind me of grade school
KNIVES CHAU
That must seem like a reeeeally
Long time ago
SCOTT
Uh. Let's talk about something else
The hiss of ball bearings catches Scott's attention. He
Freezes as he sees THE ROLLERBLADING GIRL FROM HIS DREAM
Skating towards the desk in SEXALICIOUS SLOW MOTION
KNIVES CHAU
Do you know that girl?
The Rollerblading Girl delivers a package from AMAZON.CA to
The librarian. Scott's gaze follows the GIRL as she blades
Out of the library. Pensive guitar underscores his thoughts
KNIVES CHAU
Scott?
Scott continues to stare at the girl. Time slows to a crawl
STEPHEN STILLS (O.S.)
SCOTT!
19 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE - EVENING 19
Scott stands in the rehearsal room, head still in the clouds
STEPHEN STILLS
You only played one note for that
Entire song
SCOTT
It was...uh...my hand slipped
KIM PINE
Is your girlfriend distracting you?
SCOTT
My girlfriend?
A meek Knives sits next to Young Neil on the couch
KNIVES CHAU
I'll... I'll be quieter
STEPHEN STILLS
Let's do that one again
SCOTT
Sorry, what are we doing?
20 EXT. TORONTO RESIDENTIAL STREET - NIGHT 20
STEPHEN STILLS

Scott, Kim Pine, Stephen Stills and Young Neil walk down an
Icy Toronto street. Scott's head is still in the clouds
KIM PINE
We're going to this party, retard
SCOTT
Party?
YOUNG NEIL
At Julie's
SCOTT
Ugh. I thought you guys split
STEPHEN STILLS
We did. But, you know, there may be
Some label guys there, so...
SCOTT
Aw, man. This is going to suck
KIM PINE
At least it will give us something
To complain about
SCOTT
Awww maaan...
21 INT. JULIE'S HOUSE - NIGHT 21
A bored Scott stands next to Young Neil in a very crowded
House party. Both have red plastic cups in hand
SCOTT

YOUNG NEIL
Sucks
SCOTT
I'm going to go pee due to boredom
Scott exits frame
YOUNG NEIL
I have to pee
Neil sips his drink
Scott passes by COMEAU, a bespectacled hipster geek:
'˜COMEAU, 25, FUN FACT: KNOWS EVERYONE (INCLUDING YOU)'
SCOTT
Hey Comeau

Like this?
Scott sketches an incomprehensible drawing of Ramona
COMEAU
Yeah man. Ramona Flowers. Someone
Said she was coming tonight actually
SCOTT
WHAT?
COMEAU
You got the hots for her? I hear
She's hardcore...
Scott has already left a Scott-shaped dust cloud...
22 INT. JULIE'S HOUSE - MOMENTS LATER 22
Scott scans the party. His eyes go WIDE. He CRUSHES his
Plastic cup. There she is...playing the wall...RAMONA! Aloof
Enigmatic. Hot. Scott sidles up and stands next to her
SCOTT
Hey, what's up?
RAMONA
Nothing
SCOTT
Hey, you know Pacman?
RAMONA
I know of him
Scott begins to babble
(CONTINUED)
SCOTT
Well you know Pac-Man was
Originally Puckman but not because
Pac-Man looks like a hockey puck
And paku-paku-paku means flapping
Your mouth and they changed it
Because if you scratch out the "P"
And turn it into an "F'? You know?
Like...
RAMONA
Yeah that's amazing
SCOTT
Um...am I dreaming?
Ramona looks at Scott blankly. He slowly skulks away
SCOTT (CONT'D)
I'll leave you alone forever now
"THEN HE STALKED HER FOR THE REST OF THE PARTY..."
Series of quick shots as Scott follows Ramona. He ducks
Around corners, spies from behind a much bigger dude. Ramona Leaves the party
Scott grabs a startled Young Neil
SCOTT
DUDE!
YOUNG NEIL
WHA?
SCOTT
SHE'S TOTALLY REAL!
YOUNG NEIL
WHO!?
STEPHEN STILLS
RAMONA FLOWERS!
YOUNG NEIL
WHUH?
JUMP CUT. Scott RUNS towards Comeau
SCOTT
DUDE. What do you know about Ramona
Flowers?!
COMEAU
All I know is she's American
SCOTT
(EXOTICALLY)
American...
COMEAU
But you should talk to Sandra and
MONIQUE-
"SANDRA AND MONIQUE, 24, TWO GIRLS COMEAU KNOWS"
SCOTT
LADYDUDES! What do you know about
Ramona Flowers?
MONIQUE
I think she has a boyfriend
SANDRA
Some guy back in New York
MONIQUE
Doesn't she have the most
Ridiculous name?
SANDRA
I know. It's so 'œRamona Quimby
Aged 8' and yet...Flowers
The girls laugh. Scott does not
SCOTT
Yeah. What else?
JUMP CUT through a FLURRY OF FACES as Scott asks everyone
ABOUT RAMONA:
PARTYGOER #1
I heard she kicks all kind of ass
PARTYGOER #2
She's on another level
PARTYGOER #3
She's got men dying at her feet
PARTYGOER #4
She's got some battle scars
PARTYGOER #5
Not to be entered into lightly
We end on the surly JULIE (the rude clerk) who steps in front
Of Scott, arms crossed. Stephen Stills is with her
JULIE
What about Ramona Flowers?
SCOTT
You know her? Tell me. Now
JULIE
She just moved here. Got a job with
Amazon. Comes into my work
SCOTT
Does she really?
STEPHEN STILLS
Didn't you say she just broke up
With someone, Jools?
SCOTT
Did she really?
STEPHEN STILLS
That they had a huge fight or whatever?
SCOTT
Did they reeeally?
JULIE
...yes. But I didn't want Scott to
Know that, Stephen
SCOTT
Yeah, I don't know what it is about
That girl, she just-
JULIE
Scott, I forbid you from hitting on
Ramona. Even if you haven't had a
Real girlfriend in over a year-
STEPHEN STILLS
Hey whoa, whoa. Scott's mourning
Period is officially over. He's
Totally dating a high schooler
JULIE
Dating a high schooler is the
Mourning period
STEPHEN STILLS
She's got a point
SCOTT
I thought you guys broke up
JULIE
I don't want you scaring off the
Coolest girl at my party Scott. We
All know you're a total lady killer
Wannabe jerky jerkSCOTT
That's garbage! Completely untrue
JULIE
That time with Lisa-
SCOTT
Misunderstanding
JULIE
That time with Hollie-
SCOTT
Not what it looked like!
JULIE
That time you dumped Kim for-
SCOTT
Hey, me and Kim are all good now
SCOTT looks to KIM. We hear the sound of arctic winds
JULIE
Whatever, Ramona is out of your
League, let's leave it at that
JULIE (CONT'D)
And anyway, I'm not even sure she
Really did have a big breakup. She
Keeps mentioning some guy named
Gideon
SCOTT
(NOT LISTENING)
Yeah, I don't know what it is about
That girl, she just-
JULIE
Forget it Scott!!!
23 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 23
Scott lies on the futon, WIDE awake. Wallace storms in
WALLACE
Guess who's druuunk?
SCOTT
I guess Wallace
WALLACE
You guess right
Wallace flops onto the futon, landing next to Scott
SCOTT
So, that girl. From my dream
WALLACE
Girl. Okay...
SCOTT
I saw her at the library...
WALLACE
Library...can I pretend we're
Talking about a guy?
SCOTT
So then I'm at this party, and hey!
There she is
WALLACE
There he is
SCOTT
I think she's...
WALLACE
You think he's...
SCOTT
I think she's the girl of my dreams
WALLACE
Mmm. Then you should break up with
Your fake high school girlfriend
SCOTT
I've never been so sure about
Something
WALLACE
Then you should break up with your
Fake high school girlfriend
SCOTT
What's that?
WALLACE
Break...up...fake...high
School...girlfriend...
SCOTT
I'm not getting it, friend
Wallace drifts off. RINGY RING! Scott answers. INTERCUT with
STACEY sitting on a bus on her cellphone
STACEY
You're thinking of juggling two chicks!?
SCOTT
Not even!
STACEY
Well, you should break up with your
Fake high school girlfriend
SCOTT
Wait. Who told you?
STACEY
Duh. Wallace
SCOTT
He's not even conscious!
STACEY
Whatever. You of all people should know
How sucky it is to get cheated on
SCOTT
Don't you have a job to do?
STACEY
You're right. I should send out a
Mass text about this. Bye
Scott looks to Wallace, who is out cold, cellphone in hand
(CONTINUED)
SCOTT
Wallace, how do you do that?
HARD CUT to MORNING LIGHT filling the room!
SCOTT (O.S.)
WALLACE!
Wallace sits bolt upright. Scott sits at Wallace's computer
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Amazon.ca. What's the website for that?
WALLACE
...Amazon.ca
SCOTT
Awesome! I have to order something
Reeeally cool
COMPUTER
"You've got mail!"
SCOTT
Dude! This thing claims I have mail!
WALLACE
It's amazing what they can do with
Computers these days
SCOTT
Dude! Now I'm reading it!
WALLACE
I'm so happy for you
SCOTT
"Dear Mr. Pilgrim, It has come to
My attention that we will be
Fighting soon. My name is Matthew
Patel, and I'm" blah blah 'œfair
Warning' blah blah...hmm. This
Is...this is...THIS IS...!!!
WALLACE
WHAT?!
SCOTT
This is boring. Delete!
CLICK.' Scott walks to the front door. Moments pass
WALLACE
Scott. Are you waiting for the
Package you just ordered?
SCOTT
Maybe
WALLACE
It's the weekend. It won't ship
Until Monday at the earliest
DINGY DONG
Scott JUMPS to his feet
SCOTT
You were saying?
Scott opens the door. It's KNIVES CHAU!
SCOTT
Heyyy...
KNIVES CHAU
Attack hug!
Knives smothers Scott
SCOTT
Attack hug. That's cute
He plasters on his best fake smile
KNIVES CHAU
Remember you were supposed to meet
Me at the bus stop a half-hour ago?
SCOTT
How could I possibly forget?
24 INT. SONIC BOOM - DAY 24
Scott and Knives flip through the record bins, out of sync
KNIVES CHAU
Yearbook club is getting SO boring
I cannot believe the music they put
On while we work
SCOTT
That's sucky
25 INT. THE GOODWILL - DAY 25
Knives buys a hip and trendy jacket. Scott sits on a couch
Next to the DO NOT SIT sign, still distracted
KNIVES CHAU
Hannah broke up with Alan and now
She's all into Derek...
SCOTT
Uh huh
26 EXT. PIZZA PIZZA - DAY 26
Scott and Knives walk out of a pizza joint. Knives chows down
On a slice. Scott doesn't eat, his thoughts elsewhere
KNIVES CHAU
...but Tamara claims she has dibs
On Derek
SCOTT
I tell ya'
Scott and Knives play NINJA NINJA REVOLUTION, side by side
Scott plays halfheartedly, his timing off
KNIVES CHAU
Combo!
Knives goes to flip over Scott, but he messes up. THE MIRROR
IMAGE of Scott's videogame avatar appears on screen
KNIVES CHAU
Uh oh, NegaNinja
NEGANINJA - squares up against Scott's avatar
SCOTT
I can never get past that guy
Scott has his little videogame head cut off. The 'œCONTINUE?'
Countdown comes up...10...9...8...
KNIVES CHAU
Do you want to keep going?
Scott takes a long look at Knives
SCOTT
Um, I think...I think...
Scott takes a deep breath. This is never easy. 3...2...1...
28 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE - EVENING 28
STEPHEN STILLS
Game on, everybody. Game. On
An excited Stills addresses Sex Bob-Omb. Scott tunes his
Bass, alone by the window, staring out
STEPHEN STILLS
I got us a show
KNIVES CHAi
OH MY GOSH WHEN?!
Knives BURSTS into frame. Scott winces
STEPHEN STILLS
Wednesday, The Rockit. And even
Better? It's the T.I.B.B
KNIVES CHAU
The Toronto International Battle of
The Bands?!
STEPHEN STILLS
S'right. This guy at work was like
"Steve, do you know anyone in a
Band?" and I was like 'œI'm in a
Band' and he was like 'œYou're in a
Band?' and I was like 'œYeah I'm
Totally in a band'-
KIM PINE
Great story, man
KNIVES CHAU
Is there a prize or something?!
STEPHEN STILLS
Only a record deal with G-man Graves!
SCOTT
What? Who?
KNIVES CHAU
You don't know?
STEPHEN STILLS
Indie Producer of the millennium?!
SCOTT
Oh
YOUNG NEIL
Whoa
Stills gestures to Knives' home-made Sex Bob-Omb T-shirt
STEPHEN STILLS
If we win...it won't just be Knives
Wearing a Sex Bob-Omb shirt. It'll
Be the cool kids too
Knives can barely contain herself. She grabs Scott
KNIVES CHAU
I will do everything I can to get
Out of study group and come
SCOTT
Sure. Great
We follow Scott as he walks in a daze to the bathroom
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
Oh my gosh, who are you battling?
STEPHEN STILLS (O.S.)
Crash and the Boys
YOUNG NEIL (O.S.)
That one band with Crash? And
Those Boys?
KIM PINE
Yeah that's the one
YOUNG NEIL
I hate them!
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
Oh my gosh, I hate them too!
STEPHEN STILLS (O.S.)
Yeah, they suc
29 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE, BATHROOM - EVENING 29
Scott pees in a state of dreamy reverie. The PEE BAR above
His head slowly reduces. He stares at himself in the mirror
Scott exits the bathroom, entering...
30 INT. DREAM HIGH SCHOOL - ? 30
...a long, empty HIGH SCHOOL HALLWAY. Scott's footsteps echo
As he moves towards a classroom door with a STAR on it...
RAMONA FLOWERS bursts through the door, skating past Scott
And down the hall, PACKAGE from AMAZON clutched in her hand
Scott runs after her, around a corner, down a row of LOCKERS
Leading to...the outside of WALLACE'S APARTMENT???
31 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - MORNING 31
Scott LEAPS out of the futon and RUNS towards the front door
THROWING IT OPEN and startling Ramona Flowers just as she
Presses the doorbell. DINGY DONG...
SCOTT
Hi, um, I was thinking about asking
You out, but then I realized how
Stupid that would be
(BEAT)
Do you want to go out sometime?
RAMONA
Um, no, that's okay. You just have
To sign for this alright?
SCOTT
I just woke up, and you were in my
Dream. I dreamt you were delivering
Me this package. Is that weird?
RAMONA
It's not weird at allSCOTT
It's not?
RAMONA
No, it's just like, you've got this
Really convenient subspace highway
Running through your head that I
Like to use. It's like three miles
In fifteen seconds
SCOTT
Right...
(CONTINUED)
RAMONA
Oh yeah. I forgot you guys don't
Have that in Canada
SCOTT
You don't remember me do you? I met
You at the party the other day
RAMONA
Were you the Pac-Man guy?
SCOTT
No. Not even. That was some total
Ass. I was the other guy. You're
Ramona Flowers right?
RAMONA
That's meSCOTT
So, you're like American?
RAMONA
Why, am I coming off as rude?
SCOTT
Not at all. Noooooo...
Scott stands in awe of Ramona. She gives him a pen
RAMONA
You know...you need to sign for
This. Whatever this is?SCOTT
It's something really cool. You'd
Be impressed
RAMONA
You still have to sign
SCOTT
But if I sign for it, you'll leave
RAMONA
Yeah. That's how it works
SCOTT
Okay well, can we just maybe just
Hang out sometime? Get to know each
Other? You're the new kid on the
Block, right? I've lived here
Forever. I mean...there are reasons
For you to hang out with me?
RAMONA
You're all over the place
SCOTT
You are like...my dream girl
RAMONA
I need to find a new route
SCOTT
Either that or you need to start
Hanging out with me
RAMONA
You want me to hang out with you?
SCOTT
Um...you know...if that's cool
RAMONA
If I say yes, will you sign for
Your damn package?
Scott finally signs on the dotted line. And throws the
Package straight in the trash
SCOTT
Done. So, yeah. Eight o'clock?
Scott finds Ramona waiting at the top of some stairs in the
Park. The Toronto skyline gleams in the night behind them
SCOTT
Why are you just standing there?
RAMONA
Dude, I'm totally waiting on you
SCOTT
Sorry, I just assumed you were too
Cool to be on time
RAMONA
Well. You assumed wrong
SCOTT
So what do you want to do? We could
Get a slice at Pizza Pizza or flip
Through some records at Sonic Boom
Oh, or there's this awesome game
Called Ninja Ninja Revolution at-
RAMONA
I'm not into simulated violence
SCOTT
I'm cool with whatever you want to do
RAMONA
This is good
Scott and Ramona trudge through the snow in the empty park
SCOTT
This is good. So how'd you end up in
Toronto?
RAMONA
Just needed to escape I guess
SCOTT
Oh yeah?
RAMONA
I got this job here. And Gideon had
Always said Toronto was one of the
Great cities so...
SCOTT
Is Gideon...is he your boyfriend?
RAMONA
He's...a friend
SCOTT
Was he your boyfriend?
RAMONA
Do you mind if we don't get into
That right now?
SCOTT
It's so not interesting to me
They sit on some swings in the park
RAMONA
So what about you? What do you do?
SCOTT
I'm between jobs
RAMONA
Between what and what?
SCOTT
My last job is a long story filled
With sighs
RAMONA
I know plenty of those
SCOTT
Is that why you left New York?
RAMONA
Pretty much. It was time to head
Somewhere a little more chilled
SCOTT
Well, it's certainly chilled here
RAMONA
Yeah
Uh. Chilled as in cold
RAMONA
Yeah
SCOTT
I'm totally obsessed with you
RAMONA
I didn't mean to get you obsessed
SCOTT
I just haven't been obsessed with a
Girl for a long time. It's weird
RAMONA
That's probably because you sleep
With a guy
SCOTT
Um...
RAMONA
I was guessing from your apartment
But you totally do!
SCOTT
It's... we're just poor! We can't
Afford two beds! We're not gay!
Actually... no... Wallace is pretty
Gay
RAMONA
Dude, relax. I believe you. You're
Too desperate to be gay
SCOTT
I feel so stupid
RAMONA
Aw... you're probably not that
Stupid
Laughing, Ramona hops off her swing
SCOTT (CONT'D)
I'm... mostly stupid
RAMONA
Well, you're definitely stupid if
You want to go out with me
SCOTT
Exactly, yeah
The snowfall gets heavier
RAMONA
This is ridiculous. Isn't it like April?
SCOTT
Yeah. I can barely see you. This whole
Thing is an unmitigated disaster
RAMONA
I think 'act of God' is a pretty
Decent excuse for a lousy date
SCOTT
So this is a 'date', eh?
RAMONA
Did I say 'date'? Slip of the tongue
SCOTT
Tongue...
The snow gets heavier still. Ramona walks away
RAMONA
Anyway, night's not over yet. I think
There's a thingy up here somewhere
SCOTT
A thingy?
RAMONA
A door
SCOTT
A door? I... I... I can't see you
I'm blind. Help me
A door with a STAR on it appears out of the whiteness. Ramona Opens the door
Scott and Ramona fall into blackness...
35 INT. RAMONA'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 35
Scott shivers at the kitchen table of Ramona's cozy, girl
Friendly apartment. He watches as she slips out of her coat
RAMONA
What kind of tea do you want?
SCOTT
There's more than one kind?
RAMONA
We have blueberry, raspberry
Ginseng, sleepytime, green tea, green
Tea with lemon, green tea with lemon
And honey, liver disaster, ginger
With honey, ginger without honey
Vanilla almond, white truffle
Blueberry chamomile, vanilla walnut
Constant comment and earl grey
SCOTT
Did you make some of those up?
RAMONA
I think I'll have sleepytime
SCOTT
That sounds good to me
RAMONA
Let me get you a blanket
SCOTT
That would actually be awesome
Ramona exits. After a moment alone, Scott ventures upstairs
He wanders towards a half open door. Pushing it open, he
Finds Ramona in her bedroom in her bra and skirt
RAMONA
Dude! I'm changing
Scott covers his eyes and our screen goes BLACK
SCOTT (O.S.)
AAAH! Sorry, I'm just...cold!RAMONA (O.S.)
Here, does this help?SCOTT (O.S.)
That's...very warm. What is that?
35 CONTINUED: 35
Scott opens his eyes to see Ramona hugging him
SCOTT
Ohh...kay
They look into each others eyes...camera circles Scott and
Ramona as they begin an awesome make out session. Scott
Imagines himself soundtracking the kiss with a slinky bassline
Ramona breaks off, smiling. Scott is in heaven
SCOTT
Were you..were you just going to
Bring the blanket from your bed?
RAMONA
I guess...
SCOTT
Maybe...maybe we should both get
Under it...since we're so cold
RAMONA
Well...what about our tea?
SCOTT
I can...not have tea
The slinky bassline continues as Ramona takes her skirt off
Revealing black panties to complement black bra. Scott takes
His shirt off. They tumble onto the bed and make out. Then-
RAMONA
I changed my mind
SCOTT
Changed it to what? From what?
RAMONA
I don't want to have sex with you
Pilgrim. Not right now
SCOTT
Ohh...kay
RAMONA
It's not like I'm gonna send you
Home in a snowstorm or anything
You can sleep in my bed. And I
Reserve the right to change my mind
About the sex later
Ramona curls up next to Scott
SCOTT
This is cool, just this. It's been
Like a really long time, and this
Is...I think I needed this
Whatever this is. So, thanks
RAMONA
You're welcome
They exchange a smile. Then without warning we jump cut to -
36 INT. RAMONA'S ROOM - MORNING 36
DAYLIGHT! Scott awakens. Ramona is gone. An arrow points to
The empty spot in the bed next to him
'NO RAMONA'
Another arrow point out that-
'œSHE'S IN THE SHOWER'
Ramona steps out of the bathroom in a towel. Scott relaxes
RAMONA
I have to work
SCOTT
Work?
RAMONA
You have to leave
37 EXT. RAMONA'S APARTMENT - MORNING 37
Ramona skates towards the front gate, Scott walking next to
Her. WAIST DEEP SNOW covers the roads and sidewalks
SCOTT
Hey, can this not be a one night
Stand? For one thing, I didn't even
Get any...that was a joke
RAMONA
What did you have in mind?
SCOTT
Umm...oh, come to the first round
Of this battle of the bands thing
RAMONA
(TOTALLY UNIMPRESSED)
You have a band?
SCOTT
Yeah, we're terrible. Please come
RAMONA
Sure
37 CONTINUED: (2) 37
Ramona shrugs and ROLLERBLADES through the snow...(somehow)
SCOTT
Wait! Can I get your number?
SSSSHHHOOP! Ramona skids to a stop, right back next to Scott
She hands him a note. '˜RAMONA FLOWERS, 212 664-7665, xxxxxxx'˜
SCOTT
Wow, girl number
Scott looks back up. Ramona is already skating far, far away
RAMONA
See you at the show, Scott Pilgrim
SCOTT
Oh, hey! It's tonight...At The-
38 INT. THE ROCKIT - NIGHT 38
'œTHE ROCKIT, FUN FACT: THIS PLACE IS A TOILET'
Ramona wades through a grungy venue under the stare of young
Hipsters, reaching Scott at the bar. He stands with Wallace
And Stacey. She holds hands with a guy wearing glasses
SCOTT
You totally came!
RAMONA
Yes. I did totally come
Scott is so amazed at her presence, his social skills vanish
STACEY
Excuse my brother. He's chronically
Enfeebled. I'm Stacey
RAMONA
Hey
STACEY
And this is Wallace, his room-mate
WALLACE
Hey
STACEY
And this is my boyfriend Jimmy
WALLACE
(staring at Jimmy)
Heyyy
STACEY
And this is Knives, Scott's-
Scott goes white. He didn't even see Knives come in
SCOTT
HEYYYYYYYY!
KNIVES CHAU
Hey
Knives pecks Scott on the cheek. He pushes her away. Knives
Looks kinda sexy, wearing makeup and new clothes
KNIVES CHAU
Do you like?
SCOTT
I...uh...
LEONE STAREDOWNS all around. Stacey stares at Scott. Knives
And Ramona stare at each other. Wallace stares at Jimmy
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Have. To. Go
Scott scurries off. We hear feedback from a mic onstage
PROMOTER
This next band are from Brampton
And they are Crash And The Boys
39 INT. THE ROCKIT, BACKSTAGE - CONTINUOUS 39
Scott runs backstage to see Stills obsessively flipping
Through a chart with hand drawn stats of their rival band
STEPHEN STILLS
This is a nightmare. Is this a
Nightmare? Wake up, wake up, wake up
KIM
Once we're on stage you'll be fine
STILLS
We were just on stage. For sound
Check. The sound guy hated us
SCOTT
It's just nerves! Pre-show jitters
People love us. Right?
Scott sounds less than convincing. He looks up at Ramona and
Knives sitting with Wallace, Jimmy and Stacey in the BALCONY
Crash and The Boys tune up. A drunk Wallace turns to Jimmy
WALLACE
Jimmy. Do they rock or suck?
JIMMY
They...haven't started playing yet
WALLACE
That was a test, Jimmy. You passedCRASH
Good evening. I am Crash, and these
Are the Boys
WALLACE
IS THAT GIRL A BOY, TOO?
CRASH
Yes
TRASHA, 8 year old girl drummer, gives Wallace the finger
A41 INT. THE ROCKIT, BACKSTAGE - CONTINUOUS A41
Sex Bob-omb peer at the band from offstage. Kim glowers
KIM PINE
They have a girl drummer?
B41 INT. THE ROCKIT, STAGE - CONTINUOUS B41
CRASH
This is called "I am so sad. I am
So very very sad." And it goes a
Little something like this
Crash and the Boys play a whole song in .04 seconds
CRASH
Thank you
Wallace yells from the balcony
WALLACE
IT'S NOT A RACE, GUYS!
CRASH
This song is for the guy who keeps
Yelling from the balcony, and it's
Called "We Hate You, Please Die."
WALLACE
Sweet! I love this one!
STEPHEN STILLS
These guys are good. Are these guys
Good?
Kim Pine scowls harder than ever
STEPHEN STILLS
These guys are good
CRASH
This is called "Last Song Kills
Audience". It'll be our last song
Tonight and your last song EVER...
Sound explodes from the stage. The audience are stunned
Stills paces backstage as the others watch the band
STEPHEN STILLS
How are we supposed to follow this?
We're not going to win, we're not
Gonna sign with G-Man and we'll
Never play opening night at the
Chaos Theatre
(FREAKING OUT)
GODDAMN IT SCOTT, WILL YOU STOP
JUST STANDING THERE, YOU'RE
FREAKING ME OUT!
44 INT. THE ROCKIT, BALCONY - CONTINUOUS 44
As Crash And The Boys climax, Stacey turns to Ramona
STACEY
So, how do you know Scott?
RAMONA
He's...um. He's a friend
STACEY
Hard for me to keep track
Sometimes. He has so many friends
Ramona arches an eyebrow. Stacey turns to Knives and Tamara
STACEY
So Knives, how did you meet Scott?
Scott looks up into the balcony, sees Stacey talking to
Knives. He turns around and slaps Stephen Stills in the face
SCOTT
We gotta play now and loud!
46 INT. THE ROCKIT, BALCONY - CONTINUOUS 46
Stacey and Ramona listen intently to Knives' story
KNIVES CHAU
Well, I was on the bus with my Mom-
Knives freezes, staring at the stage
RAMONA
Is that seriously the end of the story?
KNIVES CHAU
OH MY GOSH, they're on!
47 INT. THE ROCKIT, STAGE - CONTINUOUS 47
ONSTAGE: A DISHEVELED PROMOTER walks to the mic
PROMOTER
This next band is from Toronto
And...yeah. So give it up for
Sex...Bob-Omb?
SEX BOB-OMB walk on. Wallace and Knives give the only cheers
STEPHEN STILLS
Scott...you ready?
Scott nods vigorously
STEPHEN STILLS
Kim...you rea-
KIM PINE
WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB. ONE, TWO...
ANGLE on Knives. She faints in the excitement
KIM PINE (CONT'D)
THREE, FOUR!
Sex Bob-omb rock out, barely into the first verse when a
Chunk of ceiling CRASHES down and a SPINDLY INDIAN HIPSTER
KID DIVES HEAD FIRST through the hole, finger pointed at
Scott as he sails towards the stage!
MATTHEW PATEL lands onstage and glares at Scott through a
Lopsided fringe. He wears an evil grin and a jacket that
Borders on flamboyant. He drags on a cigarette (blacked out)
MATTHEW PATEL
Mr. Pilgrim. It is I, Matthew
Patel. Consider our fight...begun!
SCOTT
What did I do?
Matthew Patel leaps in the air and sails toward Scott
SCOTT
What do I do?!
WALLACE
FIGHT!
Scott throws his bass to Young Neil and BLOCKS Patel with his
Left arm, then PUNCHES him across the floor with his right
Patel LANDS like a cat, FLIPS his fringe and GLARES at Scott
MATTHEW PATEL
Alright. Alright
WALLACE
Watch out! It's that one guy!
SCOTT
Thank you, Wallace!
Patel RUNS at Scott. Scott SPIN KICKS Patel in the chin and
Sends him flying into the air. They land in THE PIT, knocking
Hipsters down and squaring off in the resulting circle
MATTHEW PATEL
You're quite the opponent, Pilgrim
SCOTT
Who the hell are you anyway?
The LIGHTING GUY spotlights the fighters
MATTHEW PATEL
My name is Matthew Patel and I'm
Ramona's first evil ex-boyfriend!
SCOTT
You're what?
MATTHEW PATEL
Ramona's first evil ex-boyfriend!
All eyes WHIP up to Ramona...
RAMONA
Anyone need another drink?
Patel attacks Scott with spin kicks. Scott blocks. Patel
Punches. Scott blocks, then holds his hand up for a time-out
(CONTINUED)
SCOTT
We're fighting because of Ramona?
MATTHEW PATEL
Didn't you get my e-mail explaining
The situation?
SCOTT
I skimmed it
MATTHEW PATEL
You will pay for your insolence!
Patel attacks, landing kicks and punches. Scott evades and
Counter-attacks. Patel evades, then lands more punches. Scott
Jump-spins away from danger. They pause, breathing heavy
WALLACE
What's up with his outfit?
OTHER HECKLER
Yeah! Is he a pirate?
Scott looks at Patel's outfit
SCOTT
Are you a pirate?
MATTHEW PATEL
Pirates are in this year!
Patel attacks again. They exchange furious blows, until Patel
Puts Scott in a choke hold. Scott looks up to Ramona
SCOTT
You really went out with this guy?
RAMONA
Yeah, in the seventh grade
The Lighting Guy SWINGS the spotlight to Ramona in the
Balcony. We see a sketchy childlike ANIMATED FLASHBACK
RAMONA (CONT'D)
It was football season and for some
Reason, all the little jocks wanted
Me. Matthew was the only non-white
Non-jock boy in school, probably in
The entire state, so we joined
Forces and took 'em all out. We
Were one hell of a team. Nothing
Could beat Matthew's mystical
Powers. Nothing but pre-teen
Capriciousness. We only kissed
Once. After a week and a half, I
Told him to hit the showers
The spotlight swings back onto Scott and Patel
SCOTT
Dude, wait...mystical powers?
Patel levitates into the air and points at Ramona
MATTHEW PATEL
You'll pay for this, Flowers!
Patel SNAPS his fingers and launches into a BOLLYWOOD SONG!
MATTHEW PATEL (CONT'D)
If you want to fight me, you're not
The brightest. You won't know
What's hit you in the slightest
Patel levitates into the air. Four hot girls in skirts with
Fangs and bat-wings appear in the air around him
MATTHEW PATEL (CONT'D)
Me and my fireballs and my Demon
Hipster Chicks, I'm talking the
Talk because I know I'm slick
Patel and the Demon Hipster Chicks shoot FIREBALLS at Scott
He flips back onto the stage, narrowly dodging the attack
MATTHEW PATEL (CONT'D)
Fireball Girls! Take this sucker
Down
The Demon Hipster Chicks unleash more fireballs. Scott
Dodges. The house drum kit is trashed behind him
MATTHEW PATEL (CONT'D)
Let us show him what we're all
About
Scott hits the ground, dodging a third wave of fireballs
They explode Crash and the Boys in the wings
SCOTT
That doesn't even rhyme
Scott rolls across the stage, GRABS one of Kim's CYMBALS and
Throws it Captain America style. It hits Patel square in the
Eyes. POOF, the Demon Hipster Chicks vanish
MATTHEW PATEL
This is impossible, how can it be?!
Scott leaps into the air. Patel opens his eyes just in time
To see Scott Pilgrim's FIST racing towards his face
SCOTT
Open your eyes. Maybe you'll see
K.O! Scott punches Patel. He explodes into COINS. They
Clatter to the stage floor. Scott lands and picks them up
SCOTT
Sweet. Coins
48 INT. THE ROCKIT, BALCONY - CONTINUOUS 48
Ramona makes her way out fast. Passes Stacey
RAMONA
Well, it was great meeting you
Tell your gay friends I said bye
STACEY
Gay friends?
Stacey turns to see Wallace and Jimmy making out
STACEY
WALLACE?! Not again!
Ramona passes Knives, who is being resuscitated by Tamara
49 INT. THE ROCKIT, STAGE - CONTINUOUS 49
Scott picks up the coins onstage and counts them
SCOTT
Aw man. \$2.40? That's not even
Enough for the bus home
RAMONA
I'll lend you the 30 cents
Ramona yanks Scott away. The Promotor ambles back onstage
PROMOTER
Yeah...so like, Sex Bob-Omb wins
50 INT. THE ROCKIT, BALCONY - CONTINUOUS 50
Knives is now wide awake, clapping wildly from the balcony
Her eyes scan the venue for Scott...but he is long gone
51 INT. THE BUS - NIGHT 51
SCOTT
Sooooooo...
A bemused Scott and mortified Ramona sit on the bus home
SCOTT
What was all that all about?
RAMONA
Uh, I guess...
Ramona takes a breath. Looks deep into Scott's eyes
RAMONA (CONT'D)
If we're going to date, you may
Have to defeat my seven evil ex's
SCOTT
You have seven evil ex-boyfriends?
RAMONA
Seven ex's, yes
SCOTT
So I have to fight-
RAMONA
Defeat
SCOTT
-defeat your seven evil ex's if
We're going to continue to date
RAMONA
Pretty much
SCOTT
So, what you're saying is...
(BEAT)
We are dating?
RAMONA
Uh, I guess
SCOTT
Cool. Do you want to make out?
RAMONA
Uh...
Scott kisses Ramona. The studio audience 'awwww's
52 OMITTED 52
53 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - MORNING 53
A bleary Wallace fries bacon. Scott bursts through the front
Door, a spring in his step. The studio audience applauds
WALLACE
Someone's happy
SCOTT
Well, someone got to second base
Last night. And someone has a
Second date tonight
WALLACE
Someone's lucky then
SCOTT
You know when I say '˜someone', I mean
Me, right? I got to second base last
Night...maybe first and a half
Wallace shoots a look at the idiotically upbeat Scott
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Oh, hey, I'm inviting Ramona over for
Dinner, so you can't be here tonight
I don't want you gaying up the place
WALLACE
Okay, Scott. But in return I have
To issue an ultimatum
SCOTT
One of your famous ultimatums?
WALLACE
It may live in infamy...You have to
Break up with Knives. Today. Okay?
Scott huffs and helps himself to some of Wallace's bacon
SCOTT
But...but...it's HARD
WALLACE
If you don't do it, I'm going to
Tell Ramona about Knives. I swear
To God, Scott
SCOTT
But you...you're...
At this point a sleepy JIMMY wanders out of the bathroom and
Helps himself to coffee
JIMMY
Morning
Scott points bacon at Wallace accusingly
SCOTT (CONT'D)
DOUBLE STANDARD!
WALLACE
I didn't make up the gay rulebook
If you have a problem with it, take
It up with Liberace's Ghost
SCOTT
You're a monster
WALLACE
Now put the bacon down and go do
Your dirt while I watch the Lucas
Lee marathon on TBS Superstation
SCOTT
Who's Lucas Lee?
Wallace points to a hunky actor on the cover of NOW magazine
WALLACE
He was this pretty good skater and
Now he's this pretty good actor
WALLACE (CONT'D)
He's filming a Winifred Hailey
Movie in Toronto right now
SCOTT
They make movies in Toronto?
WALLACE
Yes. I am stalking him later
SCOTT
So, this Lucas Lee-
WALLACE
Lucas Lee is not important to you
Right now! Get out
SCOTT
You suck. Surprising no one
Scott grumbles off. Wallace turns the television way up. We
See Lucas Lee on a payphone in some crummy thriller
LUCAS LEE (ON TV)
Listen close and listen hard
Bucko. The next click is me hanging
Up. The one after that...is me
Pulling the trigger
54 EXT. PAYPHONE ON BUSY STREET - DAY 54
A shivering and annoyed Scott dials the payphone
SCOTT
Oh, hey, Knives. Um, do you want
To, like, talk or whatever?
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
Are you wearing a tan jacket? Like
A spring jacket? And a hoodie?
SCOTT
Ummm...
Scott checks what he's wearing. SPOOKY MUSIC underscores
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
And a dorky hat?!
SCOTT
It's not dorky! Why are you psychic?
A beaming Knives knocks on the payphone glass
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Oh. Uh...okay. Hi
INTEGRATED FINAL 47
55 INT. SONIC BOOM - DAY 55
The SPOOKY MUSIC continues on in the record store
Scott is on edge as Knives geeks over a standee for THE CLASH
AT DEMONHEAD: it features sultry blonde singer ENVY ADAMS
Posing and the rest of the band shrouded in shadow and mist
KNIVES CHAU
I can't believe they're coming to
Town. Will you take me to the show?
SCOTT
Yeah, listen-
The SPOOKY MUSIC gets louder, pounding inside Scott's head
KNIVES CHAU
Oh, hey, I wanted to invite you
Over for dinner
SCOTT
Like, Chinese food?
KNIVES CHAU
Yeah
SCOTT
Hmm. It's not my favorite
KNIVES CHAU
Yeah. Well, to meet my parents
It's my birthday dinner
SCOTT
Uh...I think that's a really bad
Idea. Like, really, just so bad
KNIVES CHAU
No, it's okay. Why?
SCOTT
Well I mean, I'm too old for you!
KNIVES CHAU
No you're not! My Dad is nine years
Older than my Mom...
SCOTT
And...and...are you even allowed to
Date outside your race or whatever?
KNIVES CHAU
I don't care. I'm in...LOVE!
55 CONTINUED: 55
Knives is so smitten, the word actually appears onscreen
Scott brushes it away. The SPOOKY MUSIC comes to a stop
SCOTT
Um, listen...I was thinking we
Should break up or whatever
KNIVES CHAU
Really?
SCOTT
Yeah...um...it's not going to work out
KNIVES CHAU
Oh...
Scott walks out, leaving Knives in the aisle
56 INT. THE BUS / RECORD STORE - DAY 56
Scott sits on the bus alone, thinking about Knives
CROSSCUT with Knives still in the record store, in shock
ON THE BUS: Scott sighs, thinks of something happier...
CROSSCUT with Ramona: rollerblading, her funky pink hair
ON THE BUS: Scott smiles, a little happier
57 INT/EXT. STEPHEN STILLS' BASEMENT - EVENING 57
Sex Bob-Omb tune up. Kim spins a drumstick in her fingers
KIM PINE
Where's Knives? Not coming tonight?
SCOTT
Oh. No. We broke up
Young Neil PAUSES his DS. Kim and Stills share a look
SCOTT (CONT'D)
OH! Check it out, I learned the
Bass line from Final Fantasy 2
Scott plays the insanely simple video game tune
KIM PINE
Scott, you are the salt of the earth
SCOTT
Aw, thanks
KIM PINE
Wait. I meant scum of the earth
SCOTT
Aw, thanks
YOUNG NEIL
You...you broke up with Knives?
SCOTT
Yeah, but don't worry, maybe you'll
Meet my new new girlfriend soon
YOUNG NEIL
Newnew
Kim mimes shooting herself. Stills unplugs Scott's amp
STEPHEN STILLS
Okay! From here on out, no
GIRLFRIENDS or GIRLFRIEND talk at
Practice, whether they're old, new
Or new-new. We were lucky to
Survive that last round. This is
Sudden death now. Okay?
SCOTT
Okay!
DINGY DONG...
SCOTT (CONT'D)
That's for me
Scott opens the door to see Ramona, now sporting BLUE HAIR
SCOTT (CONT'D)
Hey...you're here?
RAMONA
Yes. Like you said. Is it not cool?
Scott ushers her in, weirded out by this hair development
SCOTT
You know your hair?
RAMONA
I know of it
SCOTT
It's all blue
RAMONA
Yeah. I just dyed it. Are you going
To introduce me?
SCOTT
Oh yeah, this is Stephen Stills
Young Neil, that's... Kim
RAMONA
Hey everyone
Everyone mumbles back. Scott still stares at Ramona's hair
SCOTT
Is it weird not being pink anymore?
RAMONA
I change my hair every week and a
Half, dude. Get used to it
(to Sex Bob-Omb)
So...uh...how do you guys all know
Each other?
YOUNG NEIL
High school, I guess?
STEPHEN STILLS
What Neil said
YOUNG NEIL
I'm Neil
KIM PINE
Believe it or not, I actually dated
Scott in high school
RAMONA
Got any embarassing stories?
KIM PINE
Yeah. He's an idiot
Scott fake laughs. Starts ushering Ramona out again
SCOTT
Okay. Cool. See you guys tomorrow
STEPHEN STILLS
Uh, what about rehearsal?
SCOTT
Neil knows my parts
YOUNG NEIL
(TO STILLS)
I'm Neil
58 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 58
Ramona lounges, reading a magazine. A tense Scott hurries
Around the kitchen area, preparing food as Wallace looks on
WALLACE
Are you doing okay there?
SCOTT
Yeah, good. Good
Ramona goes to the bathroom. Scott drops the act
SCOTT
She changed her hair
WALLACE
So? It looks nice blue
SCOTT
I know, but she changed it without
Even making a big deal about it
She's spontaneous. Impulsive
Fickle. Oh my god, what do I do?
WALLACE
I can't believe you were worried
About me gaying up the place
Ramona returns. Wallace pulls on a jacket
RAMONA
How's dinner coming along?
SCOTT
Yeah, good. Good
WALLACE
I'll leave you lovebirds to it. I'm
Heading up to Casa Loma to stalk my
Hetero crush
Scott stops Wallace at the door, with a panicked whisper
SCOTT
Don't go
WALLACE
Will you man the hell up? You could
Get to 2nd and a half base
SCOTT
You think so?
WALLACE
Well, if you strike out in the next
Hour, come find me at the Castle
SCOTT
'œIf I strike out'?
WALLACE
Okay, 'œwhen'. See you in sixty
'15 MINUTES LATER'
Ramona and Scott eat on the floor, picnic style. Scott has
Cooked garlic bread (and only garlic bread) for dinner
RAMONA
This is actually really good garlic bread
SCOTT
Garlic bread is my favorite food. I
Could honestly eat it for every
Meal. Or just all the time without
Even stopping
RAMONA
You'd get fat
SCOTT
No. Why would I get fat?
RAMONA
Bread makes you fat
SCOTT
Bread makes you FAT??
'15 MINUTES LATER'
A nervy Scott serenades Ramona on his bass guitar
SCOTT
So I wrote a song about you
RAMONA
Oh yeah?
SCOTT
Yeah, it goes like this: Ra-mona
Ra-mona, Ra-ra-ra, Mona, Ra-mona
Ra-mona, Ra-ra-ra, Mona, Ooooh
RAMONA
I can't wait to hear it when it's
Finished
SCOTT
Finished?
'15 MINUTES LATER'
Scott makes out with Ramona on the futon. Scott smiles as she
Runs her hands through his hair
RAMONA
Your hair's pretty shaggy
SCOTT
OH GOD! I NEED A HAIRCUT DON'T I?!?
Scott sits up like a shot. Ramona is taken aback
RAMONA
What?
(CONTINUED)
INTEGRATED FINAL 53
58 CONTINUED: (4) 58
SCOTT
Ha. No, sorry. It's just that I
Got... I got a bad haircut right
Before me and my big ex broke up. But
It's so long ago, I can barely
Remember it...
A deep voiced NARRATOR chimes in. Earl Jones deep
NARRATOR
Scott is acutely aware that his last
Salon haircut took place exactly 431
Days ago, three hours before his big
Breakup. He blames this largely on the
Haircut and has been cutting his own
Hair ever since
RAMONA
Sounds like a bad time
SCOTT
Not really
NARRATOR
It was
SCOTT
It was a mutual thing
NARRATOR
It wasn't
SCOTT
I mean, she told me it was mutual
NARRATOR
She dumped him. It was brutal
RAMONA
What was her name?
SCOTT
She was Nat when I knew her. But
She stopped liking that name
Then...she stopped liking me...
RAMONA
Your hair is cute. I like it long
SCOTT
But it'd be cuter short! Wouldn't it?!
Scott disappears and just as quickly reappears, now wearing
His dorky SNOW HAT, hair tucked tightly beneath the flaps
RAMONA
What? Why are you wearing that?
SCOTT
I thought we could go for a walk
59 EXT. ENDLESS STAIRWAY - NIGHT 59
'15 MINUTES LATER'
Scott and Ramona climb a STAIRWAY, long handrail between them
RAMONA
Tell me we didn't come out here
Just so you could cover your hair
With that hat
SCOTT
Nooo. I just love me some walking
Putting one leg in front of the other
RAMONA
You seem a little...heightened
SCOTT
Yeah. I don't know. I just, when I'm
With you I feel like I'm on drugs. Not
That I do drugs, unless you do, in
Which case I do drugs all the time
Every drug, but...you make me feel...I
Don't know. Things seem a little
Brighter around you or something
Ramona and Scott finally reach the top of the stairs and
NIGHT TURNS TO DAY, as if crossing a magical line
RAMONA
What is this place?
SCOTT
A totally awesome castle. They're
Shooting this movie up here
Ramona looks up at the looming CASA LOMA, a castle surrounded
By big, bright movie set lights
RAMONA
Who's in it?
SCOTT
Winifred Hailey and some actor guy
RAMONA
Oh, who?
SCOTT
I forget. Let's find out
INTEGRATED FINAL 55
60 EXT. CASA LOMA - CONTINUOUS 60
A crew readies a shot of WINIFRED HAILEY held hostage by some
GOON. A STAND IN takes the place of the leading man. Scott
And Ramona approach some SPECTATORS, including Wallace
RAMONA
Did you find the guy you're stalking?
WALLACE
I think I'm about to right now
FIRST A.D
Mr. Lee is travelling!
RAMONA
Mr. Lee?
WALLACE
Lucas Lee
RAMONA
Ooh
SCOTT
Ooh?
The UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FANFARE announces LUCAS LEE as he exits
His trailer, smoking a cigarette (blacked out). He skates
Towards the set, doing kickflips. The spectators go 'œoooh'
WALLACE
I want to have his adopted babies
RAMONA
Oh, man. We gotta go
SCOTT
What? Why?
RAMONA
I used to date that clown
WALLACE
Slut
RAMONA
Wallace. I am not a slut
WALLACE
I can think of no higher accolade
Lucas steps to his mark and puffs up into action hero mode
LUCAS LEE
Action
Lucas Lee points his board at the GOON
SCOTT
Oh...my...God...
LUCAS LEE
Hey. The only thing keeping me and
Her apart is the two minutes it's
Gonna take to kick your ass
SCOTT
...you dated a FAMOUS guy?!
RAMONA
In 9th grade. We had drama. Actually
It might have been math. I just
Remember there being lots of drama
LUCAS LEE
HEY!!!
Lucas Lee points at Scott, who remains oblivious
RAMONA
He just followed me around. He was
A little snot nosed brat
SCOTT
He had snot? In his nose? But he's
Famous!
LUCAS LEE
HEY!!!
RAMONA
It's not a big deal. I only dated
Him for a week and a half-
LUCAS LEE
I'm talking to you Scott Pilgrim!
Lucas Lee stomps towards Scott, who gasps
SCOTT
He's famous and he talked to me!
LUCAS LEE
The only thing keeping me and her
Apart is the two minutes it's gonna
Take to kick your ass!
SCOTT
Can I get-
POW! Lucas Lee punches Scott, flooring him. Scott comes back
Up with a pen and paper, wobbly
SCOTT
Can I get your autograph?
POW! Lucas Lee PUNCHES Scott again. He nods to Ramona
LUCAS LEE
Sup. How's life? He seems nice
Lucas Lee THROWS Scott up into a castle turret, crumbling it
Scotts CRASHES down through scaffolding onto the set. Lucas
Holds up his hands for a quick continuity photo, then stomps
Over to pick up a dazed Scott from the ground
WALLACE
Scott. Evil ex. Fight
LUCAS LEE
Think you stand a chance against an
A-lister, bro?
Lucas Lee PUNCHES Scott again. He slides across the wet-down
Ground. A SET NURSE sprays Lucas' knuckles with antiseptic
LUCAS LEE
Some competish you are
Lucas Lee wanders off. Scott staggers to his feet, punchy
SCOTT
Hey... hey... hey! I'm not done-
Scott spins Lucas around, only to find an identical STAND IN!
LUCAS LEE
Looks like you're seeing double
Scott turns to see the real Lucas, smirking on the sidelines
POW! The identical Stand In punches Scott to the ground
LUCAS LEE
He's good, right? Sometimes I let
Him do wide shots if I feel like
Getting blazed back in my winnie
Scott stands to fight the double. Suddenly, COUNTLESS
STUNTMEN fan out behind the STAND IN, all identically
Dressed, all carrying skateboards and ready to rumble
LUCAS LEE
I'm nothing without my stunt team
The Stuntmen ATTACK Scott Pilgrim with a howl. Scott PUNCHES
Through a couple of the boards, Tae Kwon Doe style
WALLACE
Ask them how it feels to always get
His sloppy seconds!
SCOTT
How does it feel to-
KROW! Scott takes a skateboard to the face, followed by a
Barrage of crippling skateboard blows to his knees and ribs
LUCAS LEE
I'm gonna get coffee. You homies
Want anything?
We follow the smirking Lucas to the coffee station. We hear
The noise of punching and kicking slowly subside to nothing
SCOTT
Mr. Lee?
60 CONTINUED: (4) 60
Lucas turns, shocked to see Scott, in front of a PAINTED 2-D
SKYLINE BACKDROP, surrounded by many unconscious stuntmen
SCOTT
You're needed back on set
Scott CHARGES Lucas Lee and leaps into a FLYING KICK. Lucas
GRABS his foot and hurls him through the backdrop. RRRIP!
Scott lands in a CRUMP, framed through the torn skyline
Lucas stomps over to him, preparing for the deathblow
LUCAS LEE
Prepare... prepare to feel the wrath
Of the League of Evil Exes!
SCOTT
The League of Evil Axes?
LUCAS LEE
You really don't know about the
"The League"?
SCOTT
Ummm...
LUCAS LEE
Seven evil exes? Coming to kill
You? Controlling the future of
Ramona's love life?
SCOTT
...no
LUCAS LEE
Oh, well then don't worry about it
SCOTT
Really?
LUCAS LEE
Yeah, bro. Let's get a beer
Lucas offers a hand. Scott goes to shake it. POW! Lucas gets
Him square in the mouth. Scott smiles through his aching jaw
SCOTT
You are a pretty good actor
LUCAS LEE
I'm going for the Oscar this year
SCOTT
But are you a pretty good skater?
LUCAS LEE
I'm more than pretty good, ese
I have my own skate company
Lucas pulls down his shirt, revealing a skate company tattoo
SCOTT
So you can sell them, but can you
Do a thingy on that rail?
Scott points to the LONG HANDRAIL on the stairs
LUCAS LEE
It's called a grind, bro
SCOTT
So can you do a grind thingy now?
LUCAS LEE
Are you serious? There's like 200
Steps and the rails are garbage
SCOTT
Hey, if it's too hardcore...
LUCAS LEE
You really think you can goad me
Into doing a trick like that?
SCOTT
There's girls watching
LUCAS LEE
Somebody get me my board
Wallace taps Lucas' shoulder and hands him his skateboard
WALLACE
Hi. Big fan
LUCAS LEE
Why wouldn't you be?
CLACK! Lucas GOES FOR IT, a perfect ollie onto the rail
Scott and Wallace watch as Lucas disappears from sight
Sparking down the ENDLESS RAIL...HSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...
Cut back to Scott & Wallace, impressed at Lucas
SCOTT
Wow
HSSSSSSSSS...
Cut back to Scott & Wallace, very impressed at Lucas
SCOTT
Wow
HSSSSSSSSS...
Cut back to Scott & Wallace. Scott's about to say '˜wow' when-
BOOOOOOOOM! A fireball appears from the bottom of the stairs
WALLACE
Wow, he totally bailed
SCOTT
Yes!
Fist bump. Scott smacks his forehead
SCOTT
I didn't get his autograph
FIRST A.D
Uh...that's a wrap everybody
SCOTT
Where's Ramona? Is she still here?
WALLACE
No, she totally bailed
SCOTT
What's the deal? Seriously
61 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - DAY 61
Scott slumps on the couch, phone pressed to his ear. Wallace
Cooks bacon in the kitchen (no pants). We hear the OUTGOING
MESSAGE: This is an automated voice messaging system. RAMONA
Is not available, please record your message after the beep
SCOTT
Hey. It's me, Scott again. Call me
Back. Scott Pilgrim
(HANGS UP)
What's the deal? Seriously
Scott ambles over to the fridge and rests his head on it
WALLACE
Yeah, you said that last night
SCOTT
You know what really sucks though?
WALLACE
What?
SCOTT
Everything!
WALLACE
Come on guy, you can't say you
Didn't see this coming. It was
Right under your nose
Wallace points to the NOTE Ramona scribbled which is pinned
Literally under Scott's nose on the refrigerator:
RAMONA FLOWERS, 212 664-7665, xxxxxxx
WALLACE
What did you think these were?
SCOTT
Kisses? Seven little kisses?
WALLACE
Seven deadly X's
Wallace cocks an eyebrow. Scott slides to the floor
SCOTT
Why does everything have to be so
Complicated?
Wallace crouches down to join Scott on the floor
WALLACE
If you want something bad, you have
To fight for it. Step up your game
Break out the L-word
SCOTT
Lesbian?
WALLACE
The other L-word
SCOTT
Lesbians?
WALLACE
Okay, it's 'œlove'. I wasn't trying
To trick you or anything. Look, if
She's really the girl of your
Dreams, then you have to let her
Know. You have to overcome any and
All obstacles that lie in your
Path. You have the spirit of a
Warrior, Scott. You can do it! Be
With her! It's your destiny!
(BEAT)
Plus, I need you to move out
Scott's face falls, completely shocked at this bombshell
SCOTT
What? Why? Are you moving in with
Other Scott or Jimmy or someone?
WALLACE
Or someone. Either way, I'm kind of
Banking on her calling you back so
I won't have to evict you and feel
All guilty and shit
RINGY RING. Scott and Wallace look at the phone
WALLACE
I have a feeling that's for you, guy
Scott picks up. A SEXY, NON-RAMONA VOICE REPLIES...
VOICE (O.S.)
Hey Scott
SCOTT
...Envy?
WALLACE
Oh, shit
ENVY (O.S.)
It's been a long time
SCOTT
Yeah
ENVY (O.S.)
A year I think?
SCOTT
Approximately
ENVY (O.S.)
How are you?
SCOTT
I'm not doing so good right now
ENVY (O.S.)
That's too bad. Still breaking hearts?
SCOTT
What? No, stop. I've been-it's been
Different. You have no idea
ENVY (O.S.)
Probably not. Do you have a
Girlfriend? Should I be jealous?
SCOTT
Yes, you should. I have this
Totally awesome girlfriend who
Calls me all the time. And she's
America. Uh. She's American
ENVY (O.S.)
What's her name?
SCOTT
I'm not telling you that. Ramona
ENVY (O.S.)
Oh
SCOTT
What? Do you know her?
ENVY (O.S.)
Uh. No
SCOTT
It sounded like you did
ENVY (O.S.)
I gotta go. Nice chatting with you
SCOTT
WAIT-
CLICK...Scott slumps to the floor. Wallace appears over him
WALLACE
Okay. Everything does suck
Scott grunts. RINGY RING. Wallace grins and grabs the phone
WALLACE
Or does it?
Scott sits bolt upright, expectant
WALLACE
Oh, hey Knives
Scott lays back down. FUCK
WALLACE
What's that? You're outside?
Scott sits bolt upright again. FUCK! Wallace opens the door a
Crack. Knives shivers outside, pale and broken looking
KNIVES CHAU
Is Scott here?
WALLACE
You know what?
Behind Wallace, we see Scott LEAP through a window head
First. GLASS SMASHES
WALLACE (CONT'D)
He just left
Knives sighs. Scott sprints away in the background
A62 EXT. STREET - DAY A62
Scott walks fast down the street, freaked out and paranoid
He sees five '˜X's looming above him on a pedestrian crossing
And quickly diverts into an...
62 EXT. ALLEY - DAY 62
Scott rips the '˜X-Men' patch off his jacket, when-

SCOTT
Dude
WHOOSH - another blast of air whizzes by
SCOTT
Please
(CONTINUED)
INTEGRATED FINAL 64
62 CONTINUED: (2) 62
SHFFF - SOMETHING sweeps him off his feet. He's pissed now
SCOTT
I'm really not in the mood
SHWAA - SOMETHING slices the air in front of Scott
SCOTT
Okay, enough!
Scott punches the air in front of him. Hits SOMETHING. A
DIMINUTIVE DIRTY BLONDE dressed in a punk rock kung fu get up
Lands on the ground with a thump. She spins to face Scott
MYSTERY ATTACKER
You punched me in the boob. Prepare
To die, obviously
SCOTT
Listen, I've had it today. Can we
Not do this right now?
ALT #1:
MYSTERY ATTACKER
(DIXIELAND ACCENT)
Love to postpone, darlin', but I
Just cashed my last raincheck
SCOTT
What's that from?
MYSTERY ATTACKER
(OWN VOICE)
My brain!
SCOTT
Well whatever this is about, can it
Wait till I'm in the right frame of
Mind?
ALT #2:
MYSTERY ATTACKER
Nuh uh. This is one nightmare you
Can't wake up from
SCOTT
Wait, am I asleep right now?
MYSTERY ATTACKER
No
SCOTT
So, technically this is not a

MYSTERY ATTACKER
Okay little chicken, then I'll see
You later. But you won't see me
Because I'll be deadly serious next

STACEY (O.S.)
What did he do this time?
SCOTT
No, it's Scott. It's actually me
STACEY (O.S.)
What did you do this time?
SCOTT
I didn't do anything. It's everyone
Else that's crazy

Look I need to talk to you, I'm
Having a meltdown or whatever. Are
You still working?
STACEY (O.S.)

Scott approaches the counter. Stacey has her back turned
SCOTT
Think I'll make it a decaf today
Stacey turns around, revealing herself to be JULIE!
JULIE
SCOTT PILGRIM!
SCOTT
AH! What did you do with my sister?
Stacey taps on the window outside, mouthing that she has to
Go. Scott turns back to Julie, not happy
JULIE
What can I fucking get you?
SCOTT
Is there anywhere you don't work?
JULIE
They're called 'jobs', something a
Fuckball like you wouldn't know
Anything about. And by the way, I
Can't believe you fucking asked
Ramona out after I specifically
Told you not to fucking do that!
(Note to concerned reader: Everytime Julie says "FUCK", a
Black bar comes out of her mouth and the sound is bleeped.)
SCOTT
How do you do that with your mouth?
JULIE
Neverfuckingmind how I do it! What
Do you have to say for yourself?
SCOTT
Uh. Can I get a caramel macchiato?
JULIE
Maybe it's high fucking time you
Took a look in a mirror before you
Wreak havoc on another girl
SCOTT
Me? Wreak havoc?
Julie points at THE CLASH AT DEMONHEAD poster behind the
Counter with concert dates at the bottom
JULIE
Fucking speaking of fucking which
I hear the girl that kicked your
Heart in the ass is walking the
Streets of Toronto again
SCOTT
So I can pick up my coffee over
Here?
Scott retreats away from Julie and bumps right into...
RAMONA. They share an awkward moment. She looks at the floor
RAMONA
Sorry that got a little crazy last
Night
SCOTT
Yeah. You kind of disappeared
RAMONA
Yeah, I do that. Listen, I know
It's hard to be around me
Sometimes. I'll understand if you
Don't want to hang anymore
SCOTT
No. No, I want to hang. The whole
Evil ex-boyfriend thing. No biggie
RAMONA
Exes
SCOTT
I mean, I know it's early days, but
I don't think anything can really
Get in the way of how I SHIT!
Scott hides behind Ramona as a lithe figure emerges from the
Steamed-milk mists of the coffee shop...the singer from THE
CLASH AT DEMONHEAD has seemingly stepped out of the poster
"ENVY ADAMS, 23, FUN FACT: KICKED SCOTT'S HEART IN THE ASS."

If it makes you feel better, you're
The nicest guy I've dated
SCOTT
Wait...is that good?
RAMONA
It's what I need right now
SCOTT
But not...later?
RAMONA
Scott, I don't have all the
Answers. I'd just like to live in
The moment if I can
SCOTT
Yeah, I'd just like to live

RAMONA
Okay, I know Todd was bad news. But
Are you saying Envy wasn't? We all

No break up is painless. Someone
Always gets hurt. What about you
And that girl Knives?
SCOTT
Knives?
RAMONA
Who broke up with who?
SCOTT
I believe...I broke up with her
RAMONA
And was she cool with that?
SCOTT
Knives is with Young Neil now
She's totally cool with it
They pass Knives and Young Neil. She seemingly has no
Interest in her date and simply stares at Scott lovingly
RAMONA
You sure about that?
SCOTT
Yeah. She's very mature for her
Age. It was a very healthy break
Up. We're all peaches and gravy
We hear an offscreen distant '˜nooooo' from Knives
RAMONA
And what about you and Kim?
They pass Kim. She's also staring at Scott. Not lovingly
SCOTT
Me and Kim? I can barely remember
Why, is it important?
RAMONA
Hey, you want to know everything
About my past, dude
SCOTT
It was just...yeah. I don't know
It was high school. She had
Freckles. It was cool, I guess
RAMONA
That's it?
SCOTT
Yeah, it kind of ended. We changed

Scott and Ramona have reached the bar at the party
RAMONA
That's really the whole story?
SCOTT
OKAY! I had to fight a dude to get
With her! I fought a crazy eighty
Foot tall purple suited dude! And I
Had to fight 96 guys to get to him
Too! He was flying and shooting
Lightning bolts from his eyes! He
Was totally awesome and I kicked
Him so far he saw the curvature of
The earth! Does that make you feel
Any better?
RAMONA
Well now you are being a total ass
Welcome to the club
In the back glass of the bar, Scott sees his reflection:
Fringed hair, wicked glare. He catches himself
SCOTT
Sorry. I'm not usually like this
RAMONA
Hey, don't worry. I don't know what
I'm like anymore
SCOTT
I guess this whole ex-boyfriends thing
Is really messing with my head
RAMONA
Exes
SCOTT
Why do you keep saying-
PAF! A foot appears out of nowhere and KICKS Scott in the
Head, sending him flying across the dance floor
Scott looks up at his opponent, the MYSTERY ATTACKER!

You and her?!
'œROXY RICHTER, 23, 4TH EVIL EX : SAPPHIC AGGRESSIVE.'
RAMONA
It was just a phase
ROXY
Just a phase?
SCOTT
You had a sexy phase?
RAMONA
I didn't think it would count! It
Meant nothing
ROXY
It meant nothing???
RAMONA
I was just a little bi-curious
ROXY
Well honey, I'm a little bi-furious!
Roxy throws a SCORPION KICK at Scott's face. Ramona CATCHES
Her foot mid-air. Roxy flips out of the hold
RAMONA
Do that again and I will end you
ROXY
Back off hasbian. If Gideon can't
Have you, no one can. The League

Wallace?
WALLACE
Uh huh?
SCOTT
This is happening right?
WALLACE
Uh huh
SCOTT
I mean, this is live?
WALLACE
Oh yeah. KICK HER IN THE BALLS
RAMONA!
With blinding speed, Roxy slips her belt off and WHIPS A
RAZOR SHARP FLYING GUILLOTINE BELT BUCKLE at Ramona! Ramona
CARTWHEELS as the buckle sails between her legs and SMASHES
Into a DISCO BALL. Mirrored shards fly everywhere
PAF! Roxy vanishes as Ramona SWINGS the hammer at her. It
Smashes a speaker. Sound on one side of the room cuts out
Ramona turns around just in time to see Roxy's deadly belt
SAILING towards her. She BLOCKS with the hammer. The belt
Wraps around it. Roxy HURLS the hammer out the window
ROXY
I'm sending you back to Gideon in a
Thousand pieces, you slag
Ramona springs off of various pieces of furniture, LEAPING
Towards Roxy and PUNCHING HER IN THE FACE. Roxy REELS and
SLAMS into the wall, leaving a dent in it

He's a creep, you're a bitch and
You all deserve each other

I'm not sure I can hit a girl

RAMONA
You don't have a choice
Ramona positions Scott into a fighting stance as Roxy CHARGES
With deadly intent. Ramona puppeteers Scott into a furious
Volley of PUNCHES on Roxy. She staggers, winces
ROXY
Fight your own battles, lazy ass!
PAF! Roxy disappears then REAPPEARS between Scott and Ramona
Kicking them apart with the splits. Roxy then KICKS Scott
Into the ceiling. He lands HARD on the floor
ROXY (CONT'D)
Every Pilgrim reaches the end of his
Journey. Some sooner than others
Roxy lifts her leg over her head, preparing to drop her boot
Of DEATH on Scott's head. She grins at Ramona
ROXY (CONT'D)
Your B.F's about to get F'd in the B!
RAMONA
Her weak point's the back of her knees!
SCOTT
What? How does that work?
RAMONA
Whenever we were making out, I-
SCOTT
Okay
As Roxy's leg descends, Scott reaches up with one finger and
Lightly TICKLES the back of Roxy's knee
GRAPHIC: 'œTICKLE TICKLE!'
ROXY
Oh...
Roxy falls, still in the splits, throbbing with orgasmic
Meltdown. Scott watches as Roxy giggles between spasms
ROXY (CONT'D)

RAMONA
Sooooo...
SCOTT
Two gin and tonics please
RAMONA
I thought you didn't drink
SCOTT
Only on special occasions. Why? Did
You want one?
Scott swigs down his drink. Ramona tries to lighten things
RAMONA
I guess we really don't know that
Much about each other do we?
Scott seems immediately drunk
SCOTT
Maybe you could just give me a list
Of all your exes so at least I know
Who's going to beat my ass into the
Ground next
RAMONA
Oh, like a handy little laminate or
Something? Let me see if I can find one
(looks through bag)
Maybe we could exchange our information
Scott has already downed his second drink
SCOTT
Just out of sheer curiosity and
Concern for my mortal well-being
Is there anyone at this party you
Haven't slept with?
EVERY GUY AND GIRL AT THE PARTY

I've had like one drink
RAMONA
Well I'm sorry I cared. I don't
Enjoy all this Scott. In fact I'm
Sick of it. I thought you might be
More understanding
SCOTT
I JUST-
RAMONA
You're just another evil ex-
Boyfriend waiting to happen
Ramona walks off and loudly announces
RAMONA (CONT'D)
And yes, there is someone at this
Party I haven't slept with. You
Ramona leaves. Another crescendo of gossip echoes around the
Room. Scott's friends gather round in a pity party
But then - Ramona returns, handing Scott a LAMINATED LIST
RAMONA (CONT'D)
P.S. Here's your stupid list
Ramona exits proper. Scott looks at the list. It reads-
'œPATEL, LEE, INGRAM, RICHTER, KATAYANAGI TWINS, GIDEON...'
SCOTT
Who the hell are the Katayanagi Twins?
STEPHEN STILLS
You don't know?

KIM PINE
Ramona dated twins?
SCOTT
Apparently
YOUNG NEIL
At the same time?
SCOTT
You know what? I don't know and I
Don't want to know
STEPHEN STILLS
Good. You know how I feel about
Girls cockblocking the rock
SCOTT
Good. I play better in a bad mood
STEPHEN STILLS
If it's gonna be an issue though
Young Neil can fill in for you
SCOTT
It's not an issue. You know bands
I know battles. We got it covered
STEPHEN STILLS
Well, we'd understand if you didn't
Want to take part

STEPHEN STILLS
Wait...amp versus amp? We're going
On stage at the same time?
SCOTT
That's impossible-
85 INT. THE NINTH CIRCLE, STAGE - NIGHT 85
'œACTUALLY, NO'
Two stages sit on either side of the auditorium. On one: a
MONOLITHIC WALL OF ELK AMPLIFIERS. On the other, SEX BOB-OMB
With their dinky LAME BRAND amps behind them
SCOTT
Okay. My bad
KIM PINE
Your bad is saying my bad
Sex Bob-Omb stare up at the Katayanagi amps, sweating behind
Their instruments. Stills looks into the audience positioned
Between the bands: a legion of identical INDIE TEENS
STEPHEN STILLS
We shouldn't even be here. We
Shouldn't even be here
Stills tries to run. Scott grabs him and pulls him back
SCOTT
Come on man! I put aside my
Problems for the music. If I can do
That, we can do anything
KIM PINE
Did you speak to Ramona then?
SCOTT
What? No. I haven't seen her since
The other night
KIM PINE
Oh. She's totally here
Kim points to RAMONA in the crowd. She is totally there. Her
Hair is now the BRIGHTEST GREEN, and she stands next to a
Nondescript MYSTERY GEEK in blazer and black rimmed glasses
They are chatting. She looks happy. Scott turns bleak again
KIM PINE
Scott? Not that I care...but you should
Talk to her before she's gone...
SCOTT
THANKS KI-
KIM PINE
And I really don't care
Scott nods at Kim's advice. He looks back to the crowd to
Find the MYSTERY GEEK staring right at him. Then-
Disorienting LIGHTS and LASERS flash on the opposite stage
A wall of FEEDBACK builds...THE KATAYANAGI TWINS appear
Sliding onstage behind their respective keyboard stands
KYLE KATAYANAGI, 23, is very serious and Japanese. KEN
KATAYANAGI, 23, is serious and very Japanese
Scott, Stephen Stills and Kim share a nervous look
STEPHEN STILLS
Okay gang. Can we do this? I mean
We can do this. Right?
KIM PINE
Right
STEPHEN STILLS
Scott?
Scott is distracted again by the Mystery Geek staring at him
KIM PINE
Scott!
Kyle Katayanagi hits a SINGLE NOTE on the keyboard, blasting
An enormous wave of sound at Sex Bob-Omb. It's so loud that
It shakes the foundations and rips the lighting rig from the
Ceiling, leaving a huge hole in the roof. The crowd cheers
AUDIENCE DUDE (O.S.)
They brought the house down
Now an open air venue, SNOW falls onto the stage. An earth
Shaking BASS NOTE blows the dust off Sex Bob-Omb...
Scott and Stills get into battle position. Scott screams!
SCOTT
WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB! WE ARE HERE TO
MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT DEATH AND GET
SAD AND STUFF! 1-2-3-4!
Sex Bob-Omb ROCK OUT, their sound blowing a mass of snow
Towards the Katayanagis. For once, they sound awesome
Kyle looks at Ken. They share a nod. Ken turns their amps up
To the Japanese character for 'œ11'. Their waveforms transform
The swirling snow into a TWO HEADED WHITE DRAGON!
Katayanagi SLAM their Moogs. Heavy weirdness EXPLODES from
The amps! The Dragon blows a BLAST of snowy fire that BLOWS
SEX BOB-OMB OFF THE STAGE. The crowd ERUPTS into cheers
Scott, Kim and Stills lie in a heap under their instruments
STEPHEN STILLS
Let's break up now and get it over
With. We screwed the pooch in front
Of Gideon Graves. We're done
SCOTT
Gideon...is here? Where?
Stills points to the Mystery Geek', who smirks and whispers
In Ramona's ear. This is GIDEON GRAVES, 37, ASSHOLE
SCOTT
That's Gideon?
Scott's eyes reflect Ramona's hair and turn GREEN. He
Struggles to his feet. The crowd slowly stops clapping as
Scott pulls Stills to his feet, then helps Kim up
SCOTT
Alright. Let's do this!
Kim, inspired by Scott's new hardcore attitude, comes in
Heavy on the kick drum. BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!
Heads nod in time as Sex Bob-Omb ROCK OUT! Their waveforms
Transform a mass of snow into a GREEN EYED YETI!
The Katayanagis fight back with their future sounds and their
Sonic Dragon stalks towards Sex Bob-Omb, slinking on perfect
Beat with the Katayanagis' spooky music
The Yeti and the Dragons CLASH at center stage, fighting in
Time to the music!
Scott and Stills bring their pick hands down like fierce
PUNCHES. The Yeti brings it's fists down on The Dragon. Sex
Bob-Omb HAMMER DOWN THE FINAL NOTE:
85 CONTINUED: (4) 85
The Yeti picks up The Dragon and THROWS it at the Katayanagi
Twins, EXPLODING them and their amps into COINS
'œ+999 ROCKING'
KIM PINE
That...was epic
The crowd goes bazooky. A DISEMBODIED SCOTT HEAD appears
Hovering next to Scott
Scott looks for Ramona in the crowd, but she and Gideon are
Gone. Scott hands his bass to Young Neil
STEPHEN STILLS
Scott. What are you doing?
SCOTT
Getting a life
Scott swipes the SCOTT HEAD and jumps into the still-
Applauding crowd. He can't find Ramona, but comes upon KNIVES
Standing alone in her homemade Sex Bob-Omb T-shirt
KNIVES CHAU
I just came to see the show. I'm
Not even stalking you
Knives's unusally composed demeanor gives Scott pause
SCOTT
You seem... different
Knives shrugs, different
KNIVES CHAU
I feel like I know stuff now
Scott and Knives lock eyes. Scott suddenly spots a flash of
GREEN HAIR exiting the building
SCOTT
Ramona...
Scott follows. Knives watches him go, eyes narrowing
86 EXT. THE NINTH CIRCLE - NIGHT 86
Scott chases Ramona down the street outside the venue
SCOTT
Ramona. I have something I need to
Tell you
RAMONA
Yeah, I have something to-
SCOTT
(RUSHED)
Great. Listen, I know you just play
Mysterious and aloof to avoid
Getting hurt. I know you have
Reasons for not wanting to talk
About your past. And I want you to
Know, I don't care about any of
That stuff. Why? Because I'm in
Lesbians with you
RAMONA
What?

A sleek black '˜61 Lincoln Continental pulls up behind
RAMONA
It's Gideon. I just...I can't help
Myself around him

That's the bad news
GIDEON GRAVES appears behind Scott with Stills and Kim in

Furiously signing it using Scott's back. Kim shrugs and signs
It too, before trying to hand it back to Scott
SCOTT
Nuh-uh. I can't be part of the band
With this douche-in-charge
GIDEON GRAVES
Scottie, buddy, can I just say
Keep your emotions in check. Don't
Let what's past screw up your

Scott watches Ramona get into the Continental. She rolls the
Mirrored window up so Scott stares at his own reflection
STEPHEN STILLS
The people need to hear us, Scott
SCOTT
Then you're going to need to find
Someone else to play bass
A cough. A meek Young Neil slides into view, bass in hand
GIDEON
Looks like we're all set
Young Neil signs the contract. There are hand shakes all
Round. Gideon turns to Scott and pats him on the shoulder
GIDEON
Oh and Scott, we should really be
Thanking each other. I mean, if it
Wasn't for me, you would have never
Been with Ramona, but if it wasn't
For you, she wouldn't be back with
Me. So I guess it all shakes out
Gideon walks around to the driver side of the Lincoln
GIDEON
And hey, the whole League of Evil
Exes thing? I was in a dark place
When I put that together. Forgiven?
Gideon disappears into the Lincoln and drives off and Sex
Bob-Omb drift away. Scott stands alone. He slaps his head-

He'll certainly have better hair

Snow blows around a steely eyed Scott as he stomps towards a
Group of desolate WAREHOUSES near the water. A lone HIPSTER
KID smokes a cigarette, leaning against a warehouse wall
HIPSTER KID

Scott shrugs
SCOTT
Whatever

The Hipster Kid waves Scott in
The warehouse is empty. Scott follows the sound of music to a

Scott exits the elevator and steps into GIDEON'S UNDERGROUND

Sex Bob-Omb shake their heads. Gideon stands up, flexes
GIDEON GRAVES
Now why on earth do you want to do that?

Ramona and Scott lock eyes. A new power comes over Scott. He

We are Sex Bob-Omb, we are here to
Make money, and sell out and stuff
Kim clicks out a fast tempo. Sex Bob-Omb begin to ROCK OUT
A HORDE OF HIPSTER INDIE KIDS ATTACK SCOTT PILGRIM, ON BEAT
Scott swings at them with his FLAMING BLUE SWORD. He slashes
At them to the beat, exploding each attacker into COINS
Scott then RUNS up the side of the pyramid towards Gideon
GIDEON GRAVES
Ramona. My cane
Ramona hands Gideon a cane with G-MAN engraved on the handle
He unsheathes a SWORD that could not have fit in there
Scott and Gideon LEAP towards each other...Gideon descends
Like a vulture and SMASHES the sword out of Scott's hands
Scott hits the ground HARD, rolling to a stop
SCOTT
Your club sucks, by the way
Gideon approaches, to administer a final blow
GIDEON
If my cathedral of cutting edge
Taste holds no interest for your
Tragically Canadian sensibilities
Then I shall grant you a swift exit
From the premises. And fast
Entrance into HELLLLLLL
Gideon raises his sword. Then from above...
KNIVES CHAU (O.S.)
SCOOOOOOOOOTT!!!
KNIVES CHAU sails into frame and KICKS the sword out of
Gideon's hands. She lands awkwardly, tripping and falling
Down the side of the pyramid. Gideon chuckles
GIDEON GRAVES
That is priceless
Scott looks to Knives, both concerned and amazed. She quickly
Recovers and POINTS a furious finger
KNIVES CHAU, 18 YEARS OLD, FUN FACT: SCOTTAHOLIC'
KNIVES CHAU
You'll pay for what you did to him!
GIDEON GRAVES
Listen, Kung Pao Chicken, your old
Old boyfriend brought this all on
Himself. He was warned plenty of
Times. But did he listen? Did he f-
KNIVES CHAU
I'm not talking to you. I'm talking
To HER!
Angle on a confused RAMONA standing behind Gideon
RAMONA
What?
KNIVES CHAU
YOU BROKE THE HEART THAT BROKE
MINE! GET READY TO CHAU DOWN!
Knives leaps up the pyramid toward a shocked Ramona!
RAMONA
You're kidding right?
Knives pulls out KNIVES and charges! Ramona fights
Defensively, redirecting Knives' parries without harming her
GIDEON
You can't say I don't know how to
Put on a show
GIDEON lashes out at Scott. He can barely block Gideon's
Tremendous blows, distracted by his duelling exes
RAMONA
What the hell is your deal?
KNIVES CHAU
You stole him with your advanced
American slut technology
DUAL DUEL! The fighters weave in and out of each other
Throwing blocks and punches, KUNG FU STYLE
RAMONA
I don't know what you're talking
About, I didn't steal anyone
Scott lands a KICK to Gideon's chest, sending him flying off
The edge of the pyramid. He then BLOCKS a punch from Knives
To Ramona and spins her away, separating them
SCOTT
Can we please stop all this
Fighting! Nobody stole anybody
Knives, I dated you and then I
Dated Ramona. Okay?
(BEAT)
I mean...maybe I kind of forgot to
Tell Knives right away, but...
KNIVES CHAU
Then you cheated on me, Scott!
(EYES NARROWING)
You cheated on both of us
Knives and Ramona both look at Scott, neither amused
RAMONA
You cheated on me with Knives?
SCOTT
No! I cheated on Knives. With you
RAMONA
Is there a difference?
SCOTT
You weren't wronged?
Scott breaks into a flop sweat
SCOTT
Right?
Knives and Ramona stare at Scott
GIDEON (O.S.)
Game over!
STAB! A sword pierces Scott's chest from behind
GIDEON GRAVES
Scottie. You can cheat on these
Ladies all you want, but you
Can't...cheat...death
Scott slides off Gideon's sword and falls to the ground...
TEXT WITH ARROW POINTING TO SCOTT: 'œDEAD'
Everything goes white...SAND blows through frame...Scott's
Eyes blink open. He looks up into a BLINDING BLUE SKY...
95 EXT. THE DREAM DESERT - DAY 95
Scott sits up next to a lone cactus, rubbing his temples
SCOTT
Ugh
Ramona appears out of nowhere; fainter than before
RAMONA
I'm sorry. Dying probably sucks
SCOTT
You know what sucks? Getting killed
By THAT guy. Why him?
RAMONA
It's complicated
SCOTT
Well, maybe now would be the time
To get into it. Seeing as I'm about
To die
RAMONA
Alright... the truth is, it was me
Who was obsessed. I was crazy about
Him. But he ignored me. I was more
Alone when we were together than I
Ever was on my own. That's why I
Had to leave... and that's when he
Started paying attention
SCOTT
So why go back?
RAMONA
I can't help myself around him
Scott. He just... has a way of
Getting into my head
SCOTT
Well, that's legitimately
Disappointing. I really will leave
You alone forever now...
RAMONA
No. I mean, he literally has a way
Of getting into my head
Ramona lifts her hair up on the back of her head, revealing a
Blinking CHIP implanted on her skull
SCOTT
That is evil
RAMONA
He's like that
Ramona covers the chip, self-consciously touching her hair
SCOTT
So this kinda sucks for everybody, eh?
RAMONA
I'm sorry it had to end this way
We had a good run, I guess
SCOTT
You can't say I didn't try. I
Really fought for you back there
RAMONA
Uh-huh
The winds blow harder, Ramona seeming to fade away
RAMONA
But someone was fighting pretty
Hard for you back there
Scott's eyes go wide with epiphany
SCOTT
Knives?
RAMONA
I wish I was ever as fanatically
Devoted to anything as that girl is
To you
Ramona slowly dissolve away in the sand
SCOTT
I feel like I learned something. Which
Would be great if I wasn't dead
Ramona is gone. Scott slumps to his knees
SCOTT
So...so alone
DA-DING. The PILGRIM-HEAD appears and rotates around Scott
SCOTT
Ahhhhhh...
We FLASH BACK to Scott swiping the PILGRIM HEAD, then FAST
FORWARD through the breakup with Ramona and Sex Bob-Omb. We
Hear Scott screaming throughout this magical restart
SCOTT

Enters. He flicks the light o
SCOTT

HAD TO SEE THAT AGAIN!
SOME GUY (O.S.)
Again?
WALLACE (O.S.)
Turn off the light!
Scott flicks the light off. On PITCH BLACK...
SCOTT
Wallace, when my journey began, I
Was living in an ordinary world
Ramona skated through my dreams and
It was like a call to adventure, a
Call I considered refusing. But my
Mentor, that's you, told me if I
Want something bad enough I have to
Fight for it. So I did. There were
Tests, allies, enemies. I
Approached a deep cave and went
Through a crazy ordeal, during
Which I totally seized the sword
Sadly, I died. Then I resurrected!
Now I realize what I should have
Been fighting for all along. But
Before I do that, I need to ask one
Final favor of you
WALLACE (O.S.)
Sure thing, guy
SCOTT
Could you put a robe on and hand me
The phone?
Wallace flicks on a bedside lamp, hands him the phone
SCOTT
Toronto. Chaos Theatre. Gideon
Graves
(BEAT)
Tell him Scott Pilgrim is calling
GIDEON GRAVES (O.S.)
Scott. I was just about to-
SCOTT
Hey, pal. I feel terrible about
Everything. I don't want any hard
Feelings, so I figure why not be
The bigger man and give you a call
GIDEON GRAVES (O.S.)
Um...

Hey buddy, welcome to the Chaos-
SCOTT
Save it. You're pretentious, the club
Sucks, I have beef, let's do it
Scott goes straight into fight mode
GIDEON GRAVES
You want to fight me for her?
Ramona and Scott lock eyes. A strange new power overcomes
Scott, different than before
SCOTT
No...I want to fight you for me
Scott reaches for the HEART DESIGN printed on his ratty T-
Shirt and pulls a FLAMING RED SWORD from his own chest
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Scott earned the power of self-respect
SCOTT

SUPER HARD. We hear a METALLIC KLONK
They square off, Ramona staggered, Knives pulling KNIVES
KNIVES CHAU
Steal my boyfriend, taste my steel
Scott jumps between them, hands held out
SCOTT (CONT'D)
ENOUGH!
Knives tries to go around him. Scott GRABS her wrists. She
Kicks him in the face
KNIVES CHAU
No, Scott! This fat ass hurt me and
I will have my revenge!
SCOTT
No, Knives. I hurt you. I cheated
On you
Knives steps back, stunned
KNIVES CHAU
You cheated on me Scott?
SCOTT
I cheated on both of you. And I'm
Sorry. I was a different guy back
Then
Knives' frown melts. Scott turns to Ramona
SCOTT (CONT'D)
And...you're not a fat ass. She didn't
Mean that. So, are we all good?
Ramona rubs the back of her head. The CHIP no longer blinks
RAMONA
Never felt better
GIDEON GRAVES (O.S.)
Are we all done with the hugging
And learning? I thought we had a
Fight going here
All turn to see GIDEON; bloodied, but still grinning, a

Assault and grins
GIDEON
You made me swallow me gum. That's
Going to be in my digestive tract
For seven years!
Gideon throws a series of Wushu moves that give him a POWER
UP - his glasses glow, his HEALTH BAR increases. He makes an
'œX' with his fingers and a draws a NEW POWER UP SWORD
He cuts big arcs at Scott, Knives and Ramona. They barely
Dodge him. Scott SPIES his sword and picks it up just in time

In my ass. You know how long it

GIDEON'S VOICE (O.S.)
You can defeat me...but can you
Defeat...yourself?
Scott peers into the glimmering lenses, spotting his EVIL
MIRROR IMAGE staring back at him. The glasses dissolve and
Scott whips around to face...
KNIVES CHAU
Negascott!
NEGASCOTT walks towards Scott, Knives and Ramona. Fringed
Hair. Dark clothes. Evil face
Knives and Ramona flank Scott in a fighting stance
SCOTT
No. This is something I have to
Face on my own
The girls reluctantly exit stage left as Scott walks forward
To confront his dark side
Scott and Negascott face off. Both take a step forward...

104 EXT. THE WAREHOUSE - EVENING 104
Knives and Ramona huddle in the snow outside Chaos Theatre
They look expectantly at the entrance, worried for Scott

Hands and part ways. Scott approaches Knives and Ramona
KNIVES CHAU
What happened?
SCOTT
Aw, nothing. We just shot the shit
He's a super-nice guy. We actually
Have a lot in common
Scott runs his fingers through his hair
KNIVES CHAU
Your hair
SCOTT
What?
KNIVES CHAU
It's getting really shaggy
Scott's HAT appears on his head! He looks totally freked
SCOTT
Yeah?
KNIVES CHAU
I like it
Knives removes the hat from Scott's head, literally taking
His guard down. Ramona sees this and smiles
SCOTT
You do?
Scott smiles, then realizes Ramona has gone. He turns to see
Her, pulling her hood up and walking into the darkness
Scott calls after her. Steps tentatively away from Knives
SCOTT
Hey... Where are you going?
Ramona, hoping to slip away, stops and turns back
RAMONA
I dunno. I should probably
Disappear
SCOTT
After all that?
RAMONA
It's hard, you know? I came here to
Get away, but the past keeps
Catching up. I'm tired of people
Getting hurt because of me
Ramona looks at Knives as she says this
SCOTT
I think I understand
Snow begins to fall. Ramona straightens his parka tenderly
RAMONA
I should tahnk you, though
SCOTT
For what?
RAMONA
For being the nicest guy I ever
Dated
SCOTT
That's kind of sad
RAMONA
(ALMOST LAUGHING)
It is kind of sad
She takes his hand briefly, then lets it drop
RAMONA
Well... Bye and stuff
SCOTT
Yeah. And stuff
She turns to walk off again. Scott watches, then hears-
KNIVES (O.S.)
Go get her
Surprised, Scott turns back to see a smiling Knives
SCOTT
Wha?
KNIVES
You earned it. You've been fighting
For her all along
SCOTT
But what about you?
KNIVES
(totally sweet and sad)
I'll be fine. I'm too cool for you
Anyway
She grins and kisses his cheek
KNIVES
There's someone out there for me
We hear a COUGH - Young Neil sidles into frame behind her
Guitar still in hand
We hear a 2ND COUGH - Nega Scott also sidles into frame
Knives doesn't look back, but urges Scott to-

Ramona smiles. She holds out her hand like in the park scene
Earlier. Scott takes it
We see the door with the star on it, standing right in the
Middle of the street, snow swirling around it
Scott and Ramona walk towards the door, sunrise coming up
Over Toronto, night magically turning to day, winter turning
To spring
Over this magical transformation, we hear a lush rendition of
"Ramona" swelling and hear whispers of gossip over Toronto's
Cell phone airwaves
