FADE IN:

               EXT. STREET - AFTERNOON

               Two young men dressed casually are walking down an empty
               suburban street, JIMMY and PAUL.  They come across a large,
               sealed cardboard box resting on the sidewalk.

                                   JIMMY
                         What do you think is inside?

                                   PAUL
                         Don't know, don't care.

                                   JIMMY
                         Let's open it up.

                                   PAUL
                         That's not a good idea.

                                   JIMMY
                         How come?

                                   PAUL
                         Well for one, we're gonna be late
                         for the movie. And two, it says DO
                         NOT OPEN.

                                   JIMMY
                         Where?

               Paul rotates the box, revealing a sticker to Jimmy that
               reads, "DO NOT OPEN."

                                   PAUL
                         There.

                                   JIMMY
                         Paul, how come you always have to
                         ruin the fun.

                                   PAUL
                         I don't, but there's times to have
                         fun and there's times to be smart,
                         Jimmy

                                   JIMMY
                         Don't you ever take risks?

                                   PAUL
                         Sure I do.  But I take calculated
                         risks, risks that are worth taking.
                         Opening a cardboard box with a
                         sticker that says DO NOT OPEN,
                         isn't a risk worth taking.

                                   JIMMY
                         Sure it is, because you don't know
                         what's inside of it.  There could
                         be a million dollars or something.

                                   PAUL
                         A million dollars?  Jimmy, let's be
                         realistic.

                                   JIMMY
                         That's not the point, there could
                         be anything in there.

                                   PAUL
                         No.

                                   JIMMY
                         Come on.

                                   PAUL
                         No, Jimmy.  We already went over
                         this.

                                   JIMMY
                         ...I'm going to open it.

               Jimmy takes a key from his pocket and starts to cut the tape
               that seals the box

                                   PAUL
                             (Sarcastically)
                         Jimmy, stop.  I know what's
                         inside... It's a bomb.

               Jimmy doesn't catch on to Paul's sarcasm.

                                   JIMMY
                         You mean a real bomb?

                                   PAUL
                         Yes Jimmy, a bomb.  You know those
                         things that go BOOM.

                                   JIMMY
                         I've never seen a bomb before...

                                   PAUL
                         Damn it, Jimmy, you don't want to
                         see a bomb, trust me.

                                   JIMMY
                         Then what you suppose we do with
                         it?

                                   PAUL
                         Absolutely nothing, just leave it
                         the way it is.  If we open it,
                         Jimmy, that'll activate the timer.
                         So unless you know how to defuse a
                         bomb, we just ought to leave it.

                                   JIMMY
                         Just leave it here?

                                   PAUL
                         Yes.  You see, this package is for
                         my uncle.  

               Paul looks at his watch.  

                                   PAUL (CONT'D)
                         Come on Jimmy, let's go.

                                   JIMMY
                         It's for your uncle?  Why does
                         someone want to blow up your uncle? 

               Paul rolls his eyes.

                                   PAUL
                         No, it's for my uncle to give to
                         someone.  He's part of the secret
                         service.  I shouldn't be telling
                         you this, Jimmy.  This is top
                         secret stuff.

                                   JIMMY
                         Your uncle Rufus is in the secret
                         service?

                                   PAUL
                         Yes.  He's a mean lean killing
                         machine.  But we're going to be
                         late for that movie Jimmy, if we
                         don't get a move on.

                                   JIMMY
                         Wow.

               They leave the box right where it is and start to walk away.
               Jimmy is in total amazement, Paul just carries a smirk on his
               face.
               As soon as they leave, a MAN walking down the street see's
               the box.  He looks at it for a bit, and hesitantly decides to
               open it.  To his surprise there's a million dollars in cash
               resting in the box.  He jumps with joy 

                                                       FADE OUT.
