SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD

Written by

Edgar Wright & Michael Bacall

Based On The Graphic Novels by

Bryan Lee O'Malley

May 13, 2010

1 EXT. TORONTO RESIDENTIAL STREET - DAY 1

Snowy suburbs of Toronto. From a nondescript house we hear:

KIM PINE (O.S.)

Scott Pilgrim is dating a high schooler?

2 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' KITCHEN - DAY 2

Four twenty-somethings lounge around a small kitchen table. STEPHEN STILLS, 25, shaggy hair, Canadian Cowboy chic.

STEPHEN STILLS

Really? Is she hot? KIM PINE, 22, cute, bitter, sweatshirt with a zipper.

KIM PINE

How old are you now, Scott? Like twenty-eight?

SCOTT

I'm not playing your little games.

KIM PINE

So you've been out of high school for like, 13 years and-

SCOTT (O.S.)

I'm twenty-two. Twenty-two!

STEPHEN STILLS

And you're dating a high school girl? Not bad, not bad. YOUNG NEIL, 20, simple mind, layered T-shirts.

YOUNG NEIL

Like, did you guys 'do it' yet? SCOTT PILGRIM, 22, fresh faced and charmingly cocky with an unruly yet adorable mop of hair.

SCOTT

We have done many things. We ride the bus. We have meaningful conversations about how yearbook club went and about her friends and, um...you know...drama.

STEPHEN STILLS

Yeah, okay, have you even kissed her?

INTEGRATED FINAL 1A.

SCOTT

We almost held hands once, but then she got embarrassed.

(CONTINUED)

INTEGRATED FINAL 2.

2 CONTINUED: (2) 2

KIM PINE

Well. Aren't you pleased as punch?

STEPHEN STILLS

So, what's her name?

SCOTT

(pleased as punch)

Knives Chau. She's Chinese.

STEPHEN STILLS

(under his breath)

Chinese... Young Neil pauses his Nintendo DS.

YOUNG NEIL

Wicked! How'd you meet her?

SCOTT

I believe I mentioned the bus? Scott Pilgrim prepares to tell an amazing story:

3 INT. THE BUS - NIGHT 3

KNIVES CHAU, 17, cute and innocent with clothes to match, sits next to her mother, MOTHER CHAU, 45, demanding.

MOTHER CHAU

You are seventeen year old! Time to get interested in boy!

KNIVES CHAU

Mom! Knives DROPS her bag, books scattering everywhere.

MOTHER CHAU

You drop book. Knives crouches down to pick up her books, grumbling.

SCOTT (O.S.)

Hey... Knives looks up to see the cute and gallant SCOTT PILGRIM holding her books. TEXT appears in an on-screen box:

"SCOTT PILGRIM, 22 YEARS OLD, RATING: AWESOME." Stars appear in Knives's eyes. Scott grins heroically. Scott winks at Knives. Scott winks at the camera.

INTEGRATED FINAL 2A.

4 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' KITCHEN - DAY 4

Back in the kitchen, everyone looks at Scott...

KIM PINE

Is that seriously the end of the story?

(CONTINUED)

INTEGRATED FINAL 3.

4 CONTINUED: 4

SCOTT

Yes. It is. Young Neil unpauses his Nintendo DS.

STEPHEN STILLS

So when do we get to meet her?

KIM PINE

Oh please. Let it be soon. DINGY DONG! The doorbell rings. Scott smiles broadly.

SCOTT

That's for me.

5 INT/EXT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE - DAY 5

An eager Knives stands outside. Scott opens the door a crack.

SCOTT

You promise to be good?

KNIVES CHAU

Of course I'll be good!

SCOTT

No, really. Please be good.

KNIVES CHAU

Am I normally not? Stephen Stills comes to the door and peers through.

SCOTT

Oh, hey. Knives, this is Stephen Stills. He's the talent.

STEPHEN STILLS

Hey. STILLS shuts the door on a confused Knives.

STEPHEN STILLS

Is she gonna geek out on us?

SCOTT

She'll just sit in the corner, man.

STEPHEN STILLS

I mean, I want her to geek out on us.

SCOTT

She'll geek. She geeks. She has the capacity to geek.

(CONTINUED)

INTEGRATED FINAL 3A.

5 CONTINUED: 5 Stephen Stills quickly opens the door and waves Knives in.

INTEGRATED FINAL 4.

5 CONTINUED: (2) 5

STEPHEN STILLS

You're good.

6 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' HOUSE - DAY 6

Knives enters, looking around the rehearsal pad with awe: Bare bulb, ratty rug, drums, guitar, bass, LAME BRAND amps.

KNIVES CHAU

Wow.

SCOTT

Knives, that's Kim. Lemme get your coat. Scott throws Knives' coat on the floor. Knives waves.

KNIVES CHAU

Hi, sorry, what was your name?

KIM PINE (O.S.)

Kim.

KNIVES CHAU

You play the drums? REVEAL Kim sitting behind the drumset, sticks in her hands.

KIM PINE

...yes.

KNIVES CHAU

That is so awesome.

SCOTT

Knives, that's Young Neil.

KNIVES CHAU

Hi. What do you play?

YOUNG NEIL

Uh, wow...Zelda...Tetris...that's kind of a big question. Knives stares blankly at Young Neil, who finally gets it.

YOUNG NEIL

Oh. I'm not in the band. I just live here. Sex Bob-Omb has geared up. Amps hum to life.

SCOTT

Let's start with Launchpad McQuack.

STEPHEN STILLS

That's not the actual title of the-

INTEGRATED FINAL 5.

KIM PINE

WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB! 1-2-3-4! Kim BASHES the kit and Sex Bob-Omb EXPLODE INTO ROCK! GUITAR

AND BASS LEADS LEAP INTO THE AIR, SPELLING OUT OUR TITLE...

SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD

TITLES continue over the song as the small rehearsal space seems to GROW with the music. Stephen Stills barks unintelligable lyrics. Knives watches, jaw ajar. The song ends, feedback lingering.

KNIVES CHAU

You guys...are so...amazing.

7 EXT. BUS STOP - EVENING 7

Scott bids adieu to a stunned Knives as she gets on a bus.

KNIVES CHAU

I can't even...Sex Bob-Omb. Amazing.

8 INT. STEPHEN STILLS' ROOM - EVENING 8

The band and Young Neil lounge around Stephen Stills' room.

STEPHEN STILLS

She seems nice.

SCOTT

Yeaaah.

YOUNG NEIL

She seems awesome.

SCOTT

Yeaaah.

KIM PINE

Scott, if your life had a face I would punch it.

SCOTT

Yeaaah...wait, what?

KIM PINE

I mean, are you really happy or are you really evil?

SCOTT

Like, do I have ulterior motives or something? I'm offended, Kim.

(CONTINUED)

INTEGRATED FINAL 6.

8 CONTINUED: 8

STEPHEN STILLS

Wounded even?

SCOTT

Hurt, Kim.

KIM PINE

You? Hurt? Scott takes a breath, turns to Young Neil.

SCOTT

Neil, you were saying she seems awesome.

YOUNG NEIL

Yeah, she seems awesome.

SCOTT

Yeaaaah...

9 INT. WALLACE'S APARTMENT - EVENING 9

Scott hangs his coat up in a tiny, one room apartment. He turns to WALLACE WELLS, dark hair, arched eyebrow, disloyal.

"WALLACE WELLS, ROOMMATE, 24 YEARS OLD, FUN FACT: HE IS GAY!"

SCOTT

Before you hear some dirty lies from someone else, yes, I'm dating a 17 year old. Wallace looks up from the NOW magazine he's reading.

WALLACE

Is he cute?

SCOTT

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

WALLACE

Does this mean we have to stop sleeping together?

SCOTT

Do you see another bed in here? TINY BOXES OF TEXT indicate the ownership of the items in the one room flat: 95% belongs to Wallace, FUTON included.

WALLACE

Yeah. You're totally my bitch forever.

SCOTT

So. The whole seventeen year old thing. Don't tell too many people.

(CONTINUED)

INTEGRATED FINAL 6A.

9 CONTINUED: 9

WALLACE

Hey, you know me.

(CONTINUED)

INTEGRATED FINAL 7.

9 CONTINUED: (2) 9

SCOTT

I mean. Don't tell my sister.

WALLACE

You know me. Wallace tosses the NOW magazine aside, starts texting.

SCOTT

Who are you texting? RINGY RING. The phone goes. Scott picks up.

STACEY (O.S.)

Seventeen years old? Scandal! Intercut with STACEY PILGRIM, cute, peppy barista, gabbing on her cellphone in THE SECOND CUP. A sign behind her reads '�If you are using your cellphone, you will not be served'�.

"STACEY PILGRIM, YOUNGER SISTER, 19, RATING: 'T' FOR TEEN."

SCOTT

That's not true. Who told you?

STACEY

Wallace. Duh.

SCOTT

That gossipy bitch.

WALLACE (O.S.)

You know me. Scott turns to see Wallace on a second cordless.

SCOTT

Wallace! Wallace clicks off. Scott sinks into an armchair.

STACEY

Who is this mysterious child you date?

SCOTT

Her name is Knives. Knives Chau.

STACEY

A seventeen year old Chinese schoolgirl? You're ridiculous.

SCOTT

It's a Catholic school too.

STACEY

With the uniform and everything?

(CONTINUED)

INTEGRATED FINAL 8.

9 CONTINUED: (3) 9

SCOTT

Yeah, the whole deal.

STACEY

Oh my God, you haven't-

SCOTT

No no no. We haven't even held hands. I think she hugged me once.

STACEY

Um, Scott. Why are you doing this?

SCOTT

I don't know...it's just nice, you know? It's just...simple.

STACEY

It's been over a year since you got dumped by she-who-will-not-be-named. Scott glances down at the partially obscured NOW magazine, looking into the HOT GIRL'S EYES on the back cover album ad.

STACEY (CONT'D)

So, are you legitimately moving on, or is this just you being insane? Scott looks at a strip of photobooth pictures: he smiles next to a hot redhead in happier times.

SCOTT

Can I get back to you on that? A SCHOOL BELL clangs loudly...

10 EXT. CATHOLIC SCHOOL - DAY 10

Wallace and Scott stand outside a CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL. Uniformed boys and girls pour out.

WALLACE

I do not want to be here. At all.

SCOTT

This school has boys too.

WALLACE

I hate you. Even I would think twice about dating a seventeen year old.

SCOTT

Well, she's only allowed out when the sun is up, so I wouldn't call it dating, more like...
