Pick up on AMADEUSZ, who we last saw watching the TV in The One About The Storm, pushing his cleaning trolley. He is making his way towards the 50-foot metal monolith referred to in the first story, which is in the Central West Atrium. It's a cross between the giant stone figures of Easter Island and a Henry Moore sculpture* - it has what looks like a kind of alien's head and elongated body holding a rounded form. It is called Madonna And Child.
AMADEUSZ goes round the back of it. In what is effectively the Madonna's calf muscle and Achilles heel - there is a door, with a sign: Cleaner's Cupboard. AMADEUSZ unlocks it and pushes his trolley inside. He to closes the door behind him. Darkness.
2. INT. SUNNYSIDE SHOPPING CENTRE. DAY.
We see AMADEUSZ emerging through a hatchway into the head of the Madonna. It's a small, confined space and dark, but for some limited light from the eye sockets. It's not possible to fully stand up in. He goes to the right eye and peeps out at the sprawling shopping centre below.
AMADEUSZ
I think it is good. (He goes to look
out of the left eye) No one sees any-
thing anyway.
AMADEUSZ lights two candles and places them in what appears to be a small shrine. As the light grows we see that it contains a collection of plastic figures arranged around a cheap Christ. They are free promotional toys from McDonalds for Shrek, Mister Men, The Simpsons, Bee Movie, The Spiderwick Chronicles and so on.
AMADEUSZ
(Talking to the toys) As long as we
are careful, cover our tracks, we will
be safe. Keep it under our hats, yes?
He picks up a photograph from the shrine. It shows a hill overlooking a lake, bright yellow harvested wheat fields beside fields of lavender with thousands of butterflies. He is lost in memories.
AMADEUSZ
I could not believe the yellowness of
the fields. Or the blueness of the lake.
He puts the photograph back and picks up the figure of Shrek. He presses a button on his chest.
SHREK
I'm an ogre!
