PAGE SIXTEEN (five panels)

Page Summary: NICK, STOLTZ, and BILLY all arrive, to their surprise, in the middle of SKYLER�S concert. STOLTZ theorizes that the space/time continuum may be degrading.

Panel 1. Wide Shot. The heroes are spit out of the other end of the wormhole, onto a concert stage. Nick lands on his feet, steadying himself, while the other two hit the floor hard. The stadium looks pretty filled to capacity and very high-tech. In the background we can see little, hovering balconies with people cheering on the show. The guitarist and bass player are somewhere on stage, still playing, but shocked by the trio�s arrival. So far, we haven�t seen the star of the show yet.

BILLY and STOLTZ: WHOA!

Panel 2. Another Angle. Stoltz and Billy pick themselves up as the threes assess their surroundings, a glorious rock concert. Fans are going nuts and the band is still rocking out.

BILLY: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

BILLY: NICK, DID YOU�

NICK: IT WASN�T ME. THIS CAME FROM OUT OF NOWHERE.

NICK: DOC?

Panel 3. Zoom on Stoltz, clutching his chest, sensing the presence of another Quantum (maybe he/his Quantum glows or something). Nick is steadying a weak-looking Billy to his feet.

STOLTZ: THERE�S ANOTHER FRAGMENT HERE. CLOSE.

NICK: THIS IS A CONCERT, DOC. IT COULD BE ANYWHERE.

Panel 4. Another Angle. Stoltz implores Nick as Billy, the concertgoers, and the band spy something off-panel.

STOLTZ: THEN WE MUST LOOK QUICKLY. THE APERTURE THAT WE FELL THROUGH COULD MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO REPAIR THE TIME CONTINUUM SOONER THAN I THOUGHT.

BILLY: I DON�T THINK SO GUYS.

Panel 5. Zoom in on Billy, pointing to the sight before them all.

BILLY: LOOK!
