PANEL ONE
An establishing shot of an ancient Greek city, a large temple situated directly in the middle, towering above the other buildings. People walk around going about their daily lives
CAPTION: ANCIENT GREECE – 3000 B.C.
PANEL TWO
The great doors of the temple burst open and a group of people coming
running out in sheer terror, their arms waving wildly above their heads, a
massive ball of pure energy following behind them.
SFX ENERGY: VRKKK SKROOM
PEOPLE: YAHHHHHH
PANEL THREE
A very old man with a long flowing white beard, wearing what appears to be
ceremonial robes has a staff lifted horizontally high above his head with both hands. What appears to be lightning shines and crackles across the staff.
OLD MAN: IN THE NAME OF ZEUS
OLD MAN (shouting): BE GONE!
PANEL FOUR
The old man stands and aims the staff like a rifle, firing a beam of energy
towards a serpent like shape. We can’t see any details as it is covered with a
bright aura due to all the energy that has surrounded it from the staff. But, we can see that it is long and slender, just like a snake.
SFX ENERGY: SKRATOOOMPH
PANEL FIVE
The man kneels next to a large statue of a snake like creature. The statue is
easily sixty feet high and its Dragon-like head looms down, its fangs bared and its eyes burning with hatred. A younger man stands beside the old man and looks up. He is clearly impressed.
OLD MAN: IT IS DONE. THE SPELL IS CAST.
YOUNG MAN: BUT WHAT OF THE OTHERS?
OLD MAN: ALL ARE STONE. I AM SORRY BUT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE I COULD DO. I KNOW THEY WERE YOUR FRIENDS BUT TAKE COMFORT IN THE FACT THAT ONE DAY THEY WILL LIVE AGAIN.
YOUNG MAN: YES MY LORD. BUT WHEN?

SPLASH PANEL
We look out onto a lush green field, flowers in full bloom and the sun is shining bright. The most notable thing in the field however, is the statues of ancient Greek mythological monsters. We can see the familiar shape of PEGASUS the winged horse, MEDUSA the Gorgon, The three-headed dog CERBERUS and the half lion half eagle GRIFFON.

LIFETIMES

PANEL ONE
Establishing shot of a large gothic looking building. The front of which is
covered with windows and several large pillars that stretch from top to floor, between two of which lays a pair of massive iron doors. It is night and the sky is heavy with dark ominous clouds.
CAPTION: CENTRAL CITY MUSEUM.
CAPTION: 2:30 AM – 2005 A.D.
PANEL TWO
Inside the museum the lights are all off and the only source of light is the
windows themselves. All of the exhibits are nothing but silhouettes that
blend together so we can’t really tell what is what.
VOICE ONE (op): LOOKS LIKE RAIN AGAIN
VOICE TWO (op): DOESN’T IT ALWAYS.
VOICE ONE (op): YEAH, I SUPPOSE IT DOES.
PANEL THREE
A flash of lightening reveals the contents of the rooms. There are four large
statues, One is a something that resembles a tree with a female figure and
face under which is a sign that says ‘DRYAD’. There is the familiar form of a
Centaur with a sign stating as much under it. A Chimera with the heads of a
goat and lion, the body of a lion and a snake for a tail, again with the sign
stating its name underneath and lastly there is a statue of a large, muscular
man with a Bull’s head and cloven hooves. The sign underneath reads
MINOTAUR.
PANEL FOUR
A man dressed in a security guards uniform shines his torch towards the
statues. This is JIMMY, 62 and nearing retirement. He squints his eyes
through his thick glasses as he peers through the darkness toward them,
scratching the back of his head in a state of confusion.
JIMMY: IS SOMEONE THERE?
JIMMY: I MUST BE HEARING THINGS
PANEL FIVE
Jimmy stands in front of the Chimera, resting his hand in the rail that
separates exhibit from viewer. He smiles as he looks at the four statues.
JIMMY: WELL BOYS. OH SORRY AND GIRL. HOW ARE YOU TONIGHT? I’M SORRY THAT MORE PEOPLE DIDN’T COME TO VISIT. I GUESS KIDS THESE DAYS ARE MORE INTERESTED IN THE FUTURE AND ALL THAT. DOESN’T LEAVE MUCH ROOM FOR YOU GUYS DOES IT?
PAGE FOUR
PANEL ONE
Jimmy turns his torch as he scans the room for intruders, his eyes squinting
though the darkness again. But there is nothing there.
JIMMY: WELL I WOULD LOVE TO STAY AND CHAT BUT YOU KNOW HOW IT IS. BUSY BUSY BUSY. JUST STAY GOOD AND I’M SURE THE KIDS WILL COME TO THEIR SENSES AND VISIT YOU SOON.
PANEL TWO
We can only partially see Jimmy as he disappears into the darkness, his
torch beaming a path of light before him.
VOICE ONE (op): PITY THERE IS NO MORE LIKE THAT MAN.
VOICE TWO (op): YOU FANCY HIM DON’T YOU?
VOICE ONE (op): DON’T BE STUPID. HE’S NICE YES BUT LOOK HOW OLD HE IS.
VOICE THREE (op): YEAH HE IS RATHER YOUNG ISN’T HE?
PANEL THREE
Another flash of lightning illuminates the room again, giving us a shock. The Centaur’s head has moved to face the Dryad. The Dryad’s head is now
hung low like she is embarrassed and the Chimera and Minotaur now seem
to be looking in the direction that Jimmy went.
Note to letterer. Since the Chimera effectively has three heads, Lion, Goat
and Snake I will refer to which head is speaking and not just the Chimera.
DRYAD: THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT.
CHIMERA LION: WELL YOU CAN’T MEAN HE’S TOO OLD.
DRYAD: AND WHY NOT? PRAY TELL
CHIMERA GOAT: YOU’RE A FEW THOUSAND YEARS OLDER.
PANEL FOUR
Dryad folds her arms and turns her head, pouting her lips. Clearly she is in a
mood. The Goat and Lion head of the Chimera look at each other, they
seem confused by her action. Centaur reaches a hand out toward Dryad in
an effort to comfort her.
CHIMERA LION: WHAT DID WE SAY?
CHIMERA GOAT: GOT ME.
CENTAUR: YOU KNOW HOW SENSITIVE SHE IS ABOUT HER AGE. SHE DOESN’T
NEED REMINDING THAT SHE IS TEN THOUSAND YEARS OLD.
PAGE FIVE
PANEL ONE
Dryad turns her head quickly and glares at Centaur, fury burning in her eyes. Centaur moves his hand away quickly as all three heads of Chimera and the Minotaur look like they could burst into fits of hysterics any second, their mouths bulging as they try to suppress their laughter.
DRYAD: WHY YOU INSENSITIVE LITTLE…
CENTAUR: …SORRY IT JUST SLIPPED OUT.
CENTAUR: BUT IT IS TRUE YOU KNOW. YOU ARE TEN THOUSAND YEARS OLD.
PANEL TWO
Dryad turns her back on the others. Centaur looks shocked but the Chimera
Heads and Minotaur all burst out laughing.
DRYAD: DON’T EXPECT ME TO TALK TO ANY OF YOU EVER AGAIN.
CENTAUR: SORRY, SORRY.
CHIMERA and MINOTAUR: HAHAHAHAHAHA
PANEL THREE
Dryad turns and fixes the laughing duo with an ice cold stare. Chimera and
Minotaur look as shocked as Centaur and stop laughing immediately, their
mouths tightly shut.
DRYAD: AND YOU FOUR BETTER STOP LAUGHING OR BY THE GODS I’LL…
PANEL FOUR
Jimmy, turns and looks over his shoulder, shining his torch through the
darkness. He looks just a little scared but not much.
JIMMY: HHHELLO. IS THERE SOMEONE THERE?
PANEL FIVE
Minotaur looks in the direction of Jimmy who we can see walking towards
them.
MINOTAUR: QUICK BACK INTO POSITIONS.
PAGE SIX
PANEL ONE
Jimmy stands once more in front of the four statues, now back in their
original positions and appearing to be nothing more than stone sculptures.
JIMMY: YOU KNOW FOR A SECOND THERE I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE
TALKING. CRAZY EH?
PANEL TWO
Centaur raises his arm and wipes his brow.
CENTAUR: WHEW. THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE.
PANEL THREE
Once more we are outside looking at the Museum from the outside. It looks
strangely quiet and uninteresting.

JENNISON. A Caucasian woman in her early twenties, long black hair and a
terrific figure.
PANEL TWO
A young African-American man named JOSEPH walks backwards into the
room, carrying a bundle of papers and books. It should look like it is almost
to heavy for him, causing him to hunch forward over them.
JOSEPH: SO (WHEW) WHERE DA YA WANT…THESE?
MARIA: OH ON THE FLOOR THERE WILL BE FINE.
PANEL THREE
Joseph places the pile on the floor and looks up towards Maria. She in the

one side, the polystyrene packaging spilling onto the floor.

PANEL FOUR[/B]
Just as she did with the crate, Maria stands in front of the statue and looks
up in awe at the magnificent workmanship and the sheer size.

seem mean and uncaring and there is a slight smirk to the lips.

Nighttime at the museum and the room is once more one large silhouette, all

torch falling to the floor.
JIMMY: SSSO BEAUTIFUL. I MUST GO TO IT.

hatefully toward him. He fixes her stare with a harsh one of his own.

simply smiles.

SIREN: I WAS BOUGHT BY THE MUSEUM
CHIMERA LION: NO. WHY ARE YOU REALLY HERE?
SIREN: TO HERALD HIS GLORIOUS RETURN.

Siren breaks free of Centaur’s grip and flies over to where Maria is stood.

beginning.
