INT. PARTY - MOMENTS LATER
Lights caress the main stage where a crowd has formed.
VOICE
"Ladies and gentlecars... Sir Miles Axlerod!"
MILES AXLEROD drives through an infinity fountain, appears.
MILES AXLEROD
"It is my absolute honor to introduce to you the competitors in the first-ever World Grand Prix. From Brazil. Number eight..."
ON FINN MCMISSILE AND HIS GROUP. They appears from the shadows, keeps a careful distance from the stage. He ZEROES HIS GAZE ON ---
--- THE WORLD GRAND PRIX TV CAMERAS which roll, catching Miles Axlerod's speech for publicity and posterity.
Finn's ONBOARD COMPUTER ANALYZES each one, compares to the photos we saw him snap on the oil platform. Each one is "NOT A MATCH." His view is suddenly disrupted by A BEAUTIFUL SPORTS CAR. She approaches Finn. Meet HOLLEY SHIFTWELL.
HOLLEY
"Oh Hello."
FINN
"Hello"
HOLLEY
"A Volkswagen Karmann Ghia has no radiator."
FINN
"That's because it's air-cooled."
HOLLEY
"Great!"
Then suddenly behind Holley's back goes the two officer anamorphic mammals, a Bunny and a Fox, Meet JUDY HOPPS and NICK WILDE.
NICK
"Well, Well, look who it is The British Intelligence Agents"
SHANK
"Who are you?"
HOLLY
"I'm Agent Shiftwell, Holley Shiftwell from the Tokyo Station, and this the backup team you requested Sir."
JUDY
"Officer Hopps, Judy Hopps from the ZPD sir, and this is my partner."
NICK
"Officer Wilde, Nick Wilde at your service sir, ma'am."
JOHNNY BLAZE
"Why are you here?"
HOLLY
"I have a message from London."
FINN
"Not here.
(LOUDLY)
You must try the canapes on the mezzanine!"
He moves her and his group onto an elevator. The doors close on them.
IN THE ELEVATOR, GOING UP.
FINN
"So the lab boys analyzed the photo I sent? What did they learn about the camera?"
HOLLEY
"It appears to be a standard television camera. They said if you could get closer photos next time, that would be great.
JOHNNY BLAZE
"This was London's message?"
HOLLEY
"Oh -- no, no. No sir. Um, the oil platforms you were on? Turns out they're sitting on the biggest oil reserve in the world."
KENJI
"Is that so and how the heck did we miss that?"
HOLLEY
"They'd been scrambling everyone's satellites. The Americans actually discovered it just before you did. They placed an agent on that platform, under deep cover, He was able to get a photo of the car who's running the entire operation."
The doors OPEN and they exit onto the Mezzanine.
FINN
"Good, Who is it? Has anyone seen the photo yet?"
HOLLEY
"No, not yet. The American is here tonight to pass it to you. He'll signal you when he's ready."
NICK
"And don't worry I can recognized him, he's one of my old pals, I will give you a signal if it him."
FINN
"GOOD ---"
Finn suddenly STOPS COLD.
FINN
"Oh no."
SHANK
"We've got Company!"
Professor Zundapp is visible below them. He talks with a few Pacers and Gremlins. Finn quickly retreats into the shadows. Holley follows suit.
HOLLEY
"What is it?"
FINN
"Change of plan. You and Officer Hopps meeting the American."
HOLLEY
"What, us?"
Judy was stunned.
FINN
"Those thugs down there were on the oil platform. If they see me, the whole mission is compromised."
HOLLEY
"No, no. I'm technical, you see. I'm in Diagnostics. I'm not a field agent."
FINN
"You are now besides Hopps got some experience you will be fine with her."
JUDY
"Don't worry Agent Shiftwell, I will cover your back."
TO BE COUNTINED!!!!!
