Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: In the Vents
INT. ALCHEMAX LABS - VENT
Miles crawls through. He follows Kingpin, with Tombstone, marching through the halls below. Kingpin blocks light from below as he walks.
MILES: (whispering) Peter! Peter--
Miles isn't looking where he’s going, so he fails to notice the LARGE BUTT ahead, CRASHING INTO IT.
MILES: Peter!
PETER: Yeah, what are you doing here?!
MILES: Kingpin's here! Just move over!
Miles tries to worm up next to Peter. Miles and Peter complain like two brothers sharing a sleeping bag.
PETER: C'mon! You’re stepping on my foot!
MILES: Move a little to your right--
PETER: Go back outside!
MILES: No, I can't sit there and just let Spider-Man die without doing anything about it. I'm not doing that again.
Peter reacts. Softens.
MILES: What?
PETER: (thinks it over) Most people I meet in the workplace try to kill me, so, you're a nice change of pace.
HEAD SCIENTIST (O.S.): Uh, Mr. Fisk!
BELOW THE VENTS, the Head Scientist leads Kingpin to a computer.
HEAD SCIENTIST: Look at this data. I know you can't really understand it, but these are really good numbers.
INT. LAB - CONTINUOUS
She goes to the computer and enters her password.
PETER: And... I got the password!
HEAD SCIENTIST: (shows photos of cluster poles and busses, etc.) Uh, Mr. Fisk. If we fire again this week, there could be a black hole under Brooklyn. You see this? And this? This is multiple dimensions beginning to crash into each other.
VENTS: Miles and Peter listen. Miles growing very nervous Peter noticing.
PETER: (reassuring) This is pretty standard Spider-Man stakes, you get used to it. Watch this, he's going to say ‘you've got 24 hours!'
KINGPIN: You’ve got twenty-four hours.
HEAD SCIENTIST: What this means is that there could be a rupture in the space time continuum.
PETER: Oooh, that’s bad. Actually everything she said was bad, I was lying before.
The group below is EXITING. As they do Peter SPRINGS INTO ACTION.
Peter climbs out of the air vent and smoothly crawls upside down along a ceiling duct and jumps down. He starts hacking into the scientist's computer. He hears her off-screen talking to Fisk.
HEAD SCIENTIST (O.S.): Okay, hold on, let me show you some more data.
Peter looks back, sees Miles out of the vent.
PETER: What’re you doing, bud?
Miles exerts himself, trying to unstick. He shakes his head.
MILES: I can't move!
PETER: Okay, relax your fingers! We don't have time. Just “let go,” be in the moment!
MILES: I am in the moment, it's a terrible moment!
CUT OUTSIDE TO Kingpin and the Head Scientist.
HEAD SCIENTIST: I’m not refusing--
KINGPIN: No more excuses!
HEAD SCIENTIST: I just need more time.
CUT BACK INSIDE TO MILES.
PETER: They're right there, they're going to see you! Miles, you gotta unstick. What do you do to relax?
MILES: Relax. Okay...
Beat. Miles begins to sing his song from the opening.
PETER: Oh, for crying out loud.
Miles starts humming to himself. He unsticks a finger. Then another. Starts to move his hands.
The rest of MILES' fingers come unstuck and Miles starts to FALL. Miles and the metal duct CRASH TO THE GROUND with a huge CLANG!
PETER: Teenagers, just the worst.
