PHILLY GIRLZ Opening Scene (think Female-Driven 48 HOURS)

Title: NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, JANUARY 21, 2018

EXT. LINCOLN FIELD, PHILADELPHIA — EVENING

Eagles vs. Vikings. It’s freezing, so a lot of fans wear ski masks. We focus on a busy concession stand selling beer:

A chubby, white, baby-faced security guard (30s) escorts a skinny, black, female vendor (30s) from the back office…

… She pushes a cart stacked with bags of money, a look of pure dread on her face, like a POW. Something’s wrong here

… Two guys in ARAMARK jackets- one tall, one short- every inch of their bodies covered with clothing, await the cart. A cop strides by, ratcheting up the vendor’s anxiety…

She hesitates, hoping the cop stops. But he treads past them.

SHORT GUY (under his breath): Trust me.

Figuring she can’t back out now, the vendor flashes him a flirtatious smile and passes the cart.

EXT. PARKING LOT, LINCOLN FIELD — MINUTES LATER

The two guys SPEED away in an ARAMARK truck… BARREL OVER a hefty man in a Vikings jacket… a bunch of drunk Eagles fans witness this. Stunned silence. Then, an explosion of CHEERS!

Title: FOUR YEARS LATER, SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

EXT. DOWNTOWN PHILADELPHIA

Empty streets. Eerie silence. Billboards all over the sports- crazed city explain why: FLY EAGLES FLY! SUPER BOWL LVI

A white HVAC van pulls up in front of the U.S Mint. Two guys in uniforms and ski masks climb out- one tall, one short.

They grab their equipment out of the back, leaving us wonder: are these the same assholes that robbed the Link?
