SCENE 1
{WARNING: Rated M}
MILO NARRATION
Dear Mom & Dad,
I decided to pack my things and move away from home. I’ve thought about this for a long time, this place bares no meaning of home for me. Every corner I turn, I see flashes of painful memories, one after another. I can’t keep up this fake smile any longer, it’s time I move on, starting my career in show business in Belchwin City. I’ll knock ‘em dead them with my song I wrote as a kid, remember that? Snow Miser I called it.
With Love,
Milo.
[Belchwin City Central]
(Milo groggily walks down the sidewalk wearing worn out dress clothing)
MILO NARRATION
I got a job as a stocks analyst. Good to see my business major hasn’t gone to waste. Grizzly Enterprise. What a stupid name for a business.
(Milo bumps into a civilian)
CIVILIAN 1
Hey! Watch it, buddy!
MILO
Sorry.
MILO NARRATION
But I’m not gonna complain, it’s work. My kind of work. I was called in to meet with the boss, George Grizzly. I just can’t shake the idea of where I’ve heard that name before. Why does that sound so familiar?
[Mr. Grizzly’s Office]
(Milo peeks his head into the office)
MILO
Mr. Grizzly?
MR. GRIZZLY
Milo White?
MILO
Oh, you look busy, you want me to come back later?
MR. GRIZZLY
No, no, no, please, sit down.
(Milo walks in and sits down in a chair across from Mr. Grizzly)
MILO
You wanted to see me, sir?
MR. GRIZZLY
Yes. I wanted to cover a couple of things. First thing’s first, you didn’t put down your banking information for your checks. (Pulls out a piece of paper) Would you mind filling out a quick form?
MILO
Yes, absolutely, I can have it filled out tonight, ready to hand it to you first thing tomorrow morning.
MR. GRIZZLY
Excellent! Secondly…
(Milo tunes out Mr. Grizzly as he stares down at his desk plaque)
MILO
(TO HIMSELF) Hm…George J. Grizzly??
MR. GRIZZLY
Hey! Look me in the eyes.
(Milo looks up at Mr. Grizzly with shock)
MILO
What did you say…?
MR. GRIZZLY
Look me in the eyes.
MILO
(TO HIMSELF) Holy shit…
[Flashback – Middle School Playground]
(Two boys hold down young Milo in the mud, laying on his stomach as goung Grizzly stands over him)
YOUNG MILO
NO! STOP IT! GEORGE, PLEASE TELL THEM TO LET ME GO!
YOUNG GRIZZLY
Not yet...Boys, take him for a quick dip.
YOUNG MILO
No!
(The two boys push his face down in the mud, holding his head down for a few seconds)
YOUNG GRIZZLY
That’s enough! Pull him onto his back.
(The boys stand up. One of them pulls young Milo’s hair, dragging him onto his back. As he gasps for air, young Grizzly sits on top of him)
YOUNG MILO
NO, NO, NO! PLEASE! PLEASE DON’T HURT ME!
YOUNG GRIZZLY
SHUT UP! (He grabs young Milo’s head by the sides) Look me in the eyes!
[Office Floor]
(Milo, masking his distraught, walks out of Mr. Grizzly’s office)
MILO
See you tomorrow morning, Mr. Grizzly…
(With a sigh, he closes the door. Drained of energy, he leans back on the door)
AUDREY
Hi there! You must be the new guy!
(Milo lifts his head, putting on his mask again)
MILO
Huh? Oh. Hello.
AUDREY
I’m Audrey O’Conner, I believe your cubicle is next to mine.
MILO NARRATION
She’s an angel. I started from heaven, thought I fell in hell after meeting my boss, and now I’m back in heaven again. Holy shit. Ok, act cool. For once in your life, don’t choke in front of a pretty girl.
MILO
Uhhhh…
MILO NARRATION
You idiot.
[Mr. Grizzly’s Office]
(Mr. Grizzly peeks through the blinds of his windows at Milo and Audrey)
MR. GRIZZLY
(TO HIMSELF) Heh. Hitting on my girl, eah, White? Well, MILO, that is not how things are gonna go. But tomorrow is your first day, so I’m gonna give you time to BACK OFF. But if you don’t, I will seek to it that as long as you are here, HELL will freeze over.

SCENE 2
{WARNING: Rated M}
[Belchwin City Central]
(Later that night, the Central streets are completely empty. People are on the sidewalks trying to make their way home. The cold, harsh Winter winds kicks up, and people start to panic, hurrying to get off the sidewalk. As Milo calmly walks the sidewalk, he stops and looks around with confusion)
MILO NARRATION
Where’s everyone going? (People quickly head in their homes, leaving Milo outside on his own) Baaahh. Unappreciative bastards of Winter. They wouldn’t know the beauty of it if it kicked them in the ass. Oh well, more for me.
(Milo walks off the sidewalk, making his way to the middle of the streets)
MILO NARRATION
I’ve never had a problem with the cold, I always found the Winter season so…peaceful. Why…the Winter time I’ve always seen as the most peaceful season of the year.
(Milo sits under a street light in the middle of the streets. He crosses his legs, rest his hands on his knees, and closes his eyes)
MILO NARRATION
I’ve been doing this every Winter for as long as I can remember. When the winds become cruel, I sit outside, blessing the weather for drowning out the pesky loud noises of society around me. As the wind goes through my hair, a deep feeling of tranquility flushes throughout my body. It’s like one of my very few moments of life where I actually feel at peace. As I close my eyes, surrounding my sight with darkness, the world manages to fall to absolute silence, and the idea of harm and hatred is not even thought of in my deep state of mind…Man! If I could…I’d stay and do this forever! (Milo’s phone vibrates) Fuck.
(Milo pulls out his phone)
MILO
Oh, fuck! (Quickly climbs to his feet) I’m gonna be late for my audition!

SCENE 3
{WARNING: Rated M}
[Belchwin City Cabaret]
(As Milo walks in the cabaret during the off hours, an elderly judge along with three other judges sit at the dining tables closest to the stage. A young lady walks off the stage)
ELDERLY JUDGE
Yes…thank you, Gabriel…that was a very nice piece on the piano. Alright, gentlemen, let’s go.
(Milo hurries onto the stage)
MILO
Wait!
ELDERLY JUDGE
And, who are you exactly?
MILO
My name’s Milo White, I’m here to audition as a regular performer here at the Belchwin City Cabaret!
ELDERLY JUDGE
Yes, Mr. White, you were late for your audition.
MILO
Yes, I realize that, and I can explain. You see-
ELDERLY JUDGE
-I have no time for excuses. Mr. White. Mr. White, as a performer, arriving late to your audition is a terrible first impression, it’s best for you to learn that in the early stages of your career.
MILO
I understand, sir, I’m sorry.
ELDERLY JUDGE
There is no room for sorry…I’m not so forgiving.
MILO
What…?
ELDERLY JUDGE
I am officially disqualifying you as an auditionee here at my cabaret!
MILO
But, sir, I prepared a song for this audition! (Pulls out a folded piece of paper from his jacket pocket) See? I got it right here, wrote the song myself when I was a kid.
ELDERLY JUDGE
It’s over, Mr. White. (Pause) Gentlemen?
(All the judges walk towards the exit)
MILO
Wait! Please don’t go! I can wow you with my singing and song writing, please!
ELDERLY JUDGE
Good night, Mr. White!
MILO
But sir!
ELDERLY JUDGE
GOOD NIGHT!
(The elderly judge turns off the lights and shuts the door. Milo stands on the stage with shock and despair)
MILO NARRATION
All I wanted to do…was to get out of the darkness of my childhood and my old town…to step into the light and entertain others with happy little songs…but now here I am…in the shadows once again…only this time…I’m literally shrouded…in complete darkness…

{WARNING: Rated M}
[Grizzly Enterprise]
One Week Later
(Milo exhaustedly sits at his computer. His hands hold his head up as he blankly stares at the screen with bloodshot eyes. Mr. Grizzly angrily walks up to Milo’s cubicle)
MR. GRIZZLY
MILO! It’s December! Our busiest time of the year! And you’re one week behind on stocks?! What the fuck are you doing?!
(Audrey walks up to Milo and Mr. Grizzly with a coffee in her hand)
AUDREY
What’s going on here?
(Milo exhaustedly turns to Mr. Grizzly)
MILO
I’m really sorry, Mr. Grizzly, it’s been a very rough week.
MR. GRIZZLY
Well what do you do at your cubicle all day, hit your head on the keyboard?! If I have to put up with anymore of your slacking off, I will-
AUDREY
-He hasn’t been slacking off, sir, he’s been working really hard ever since his first day. I’m a witness.
MR. GRIZZLY
Well, thank you for saying so, Audrey, but I insist you stick to your own business unless I ask you. (Mr. Grizzly urgently claps his hands at Milo four times) Come on, Milo, let’s go! Those stocks aren’t gonna do themselves!
(Milo slowly turns to his computer)
MILO
Yes, sir, I’ll get right to work.
MR. GRIZZLY
WELL YOU BETTER WORK FASTER!
(Mr. Grizzly pushes Milo’s chair, knocking him to the ground)
AUDREY
HEY!
(Milo cowers back, leaning himself against his cubicle. Mr. Grizzly kneels down to Milo with an evil grin on his face)
MR. GRIZZLY
Just like the old days, eh, Milo? You crawl backwards into the wall like a pussy as my friends and I knock you over again and again?
(Milo fearfully hyperventilates)
MILO
So you do remember me…
MR. GRIZZLY
Of course I do. Hey! (Grabs Milo’s head by the sides) Look me in the eyes.
AUDREY
HEY! (Mr. Grizzly and Milo turn their attention to Audrey) LEAVE HIM ALONE!
MR. GRIZZLY
Mind your own business, Audrey.
AUDREY
No! We’ve had enough of this! (Audrey helps Milo to his feet. Mr. Grizzly rises to his) In fact, Milo and I would like to take our lunch right now! Let’s go, Milo.
(Audrey walks towards the office exit)
MR. GRIZZLY
You better watch your back, Milo, I saw her first. Looking into your eyes, I can see you’re dead on the inside. Steal my girl from me, and you’ll be wishing you were dead on the outside, too.
(Mr. Grizzly walks back to his office, leaving Milo standing in the middle of the floor like deer in the headlights)

{WARNING: Rated M}
[Diamond Mine Club]
(Milo and Audrey walk into the club and up to a table)
AUDREY
Bet you never took your break at a club before.
MILO
Ummm, not at a place like this before, no.
(They take their seats at the table)
AUDREY
What’s the matter? You look nervous. Have you never been to a club before?
MILO
Actually, no, I don’t really get out a lot.
AUDREY
Oh…I see.
(Milo pauses to think and manages to muster a smile)
MILO
But I’m willing to give this place a try, as long as I’m with you.
(Audrey looks back at Milo with a bigger smile)
AUDREY
Awww, you’re so sweet, Milo.
MILO NARRATION
That would have to be one of the most intimate moments I had with Audrey ever since the day we met. The curve of her lips that form a smile and the twinkle in her eyes that makes my heart skip a beat. Grizzly can go fuck himself. As far as things are going, I’m next in line on Audrey’s list.
AUDREY
Would you like a drink?
MILO
Huh? Oh, no, no, no, I don’t drink.
AUDREY
They have non-alcoholic drinks here, too, silly.
MILO
Oh. What do they have?
(Milo picks up a menu. Audrey gasps)
AUDREY
Oh my God, I love this song! Would you like to dance?
MILO
Uhhh, actually I’m not really much of a dancer.
AUDREY
Oh, come on, you said this give this place a try with me, right?
MILO
Well…yeah…
AUDREY
Then let’s get out on the dance floor and shake our groove things. Come on (Holds out her open hand) I’ll lead the way, I promise.
MILO NARRATION
Someone call an ambulance, my heart just stopped.
(Milo takes Audrey’s hand. They walk over to the dance floor)
MILO
Sooooo, how do we do this?
AUDREY
Well, a good way to get started with dancing is to feel the rhythm, get familiar with it. Once you feel it, just start swaying your body left and right.
MILO
What?
(Audrey takes Milo’s hands and she starts swaying left and right with him)
AUDREY
Left and right, left and right. There you go! Now, once you get into the sway of things, you’ll feel yourself banging out a few steps of your own.
MILO
But what moves will I know to do next?
AUDREY
Just follow your heart.
MILO NARRATION
As you can probably imagined, I sucked at the dancefloor. But that was just in the beginning. Once I started “banging out a few steps of my own”, I can see what Audrey was talking about.
(Milo start bouncing his body and feet to the beat of the music)
AUDREY
There you go, Milo, you’re starting to feel it! That’s it! Get down and get funky!
MILO NARRATION
For once in my life, I felt I was on top of the world, getting such a high off my happiness. And while my self-esteem was way up there, I thought to myself “Why not take a chance?”
(Milo grabs Audrey, pulls her close and they start dancing together)
MILO NARRATION
I don’t know what came to me as a bigger shock, the fact I was Mr. Casanova all of a sudden, or the fact I haven’t fainted yet. Either way, I was not stopping! (Milo twirls Audrey around on the dancefloor. The other club go-ers form a circle around Milo and Audrey, clapping to the beat for them with encouragement) Look at me, I’m an animal out there! The whole world is bowing to my feet and yet I have not a clue what I’m doing. But above all, in the midst of my cluelessness, I was feeling happier than I ever been in a very long time.
(Milo ends the song by dipping Audrey. The whole crowd cheers for the two before going on with their business. Milo brings himself and Audrey to their feet)
AUDREY
Milo! That was…amazing! Where did you learn moves like that??
MILO
Ummm, I was doing what you said, I was feeling the beat.
(They take a second to compassionately stare into each other’s eyes. Slowly, they move their heads towards each other)
MILO NARRATION
Is this it? Was our dance together the icing on the cake and the next five seconds the cherry on top to make this the best day of my life?? Oh my God! I really think so!
(Mr. Grizzly comes behind Milo, dumping a whole container of punch over Milo’s head. Everyone on the dance floor turns to Milo)
MR. GRIZZLY
HAHAHAHAHA! I told you to stay away from my girl! HAHAHAHAHA!
AUDREY
Mr. Grizzly! How could you?!
(Milo wipes the punch out of his eyes then stands up tall)
MILO
Alright, THAT’S IT! (Mr. Grizzly kicks Milo in between the legs) OW!
(Mr. Grizzly puts the container over Milo’s head, going down past his shoulders. He laughs and other club go-ers start laughing at Milo, too. As Milo struggles to get the container off his head, he slips on the spilt punch, wiping out on the floor. The whole place erupts in laughter. He finally gets the container off and embarrassingly looks around him)
AUDREY
MR. GRIZZLY!
(She hesitantly looks at Milo, then Mr. Grizzly, then scans the whole club)
MILO NARRATION
Tonight…I actually thought I was climbing over the mountain of last week’s painful events. But now I realize…it’s the same mountain I’ve been trying to climb over my entire life…the mountain of shame…humiliation…and loneliness. And now here I am…falling off of it for the millionth fucking time…
(Milo rises to his feet)
AUDREY
Milo…
MILO NARRATION
No more.
(Milo runs out the front entrance)
AUDREY
WAIT, MILO!
MILO NARRATION
No more.

SCENE 6
{WARNING: Rated M}
[Milo’s House]
(Milo’s house; An old foundation with a bent roof and few chipping bricks on the exterior wall. The place is covered in snow and its natural color red got turned to blue from the cold weather)
MILO NARRATION
Shitty life, shitty job, shitty home. Not surprised by the last part, aren’t you? Well…there is one good thing about this place, it strays from civilization…But that won’t matter. Before today is through, that’ll be the least of my problems.
(Milo takes a shovel to the frozen lake in his backyard. Milo wipes sweat from his forehead as uses the shovel to make a human-sized hole. He’s wearing a sweatshirt, sweatpants, and slip-on sneakers with no sox)
MILO NARRATION
You know what my Grandma used to tell me? She told me no matter how many times I fall down, I will succeed in the end, as long as I keep trying. Well here I am, still trying to succeed, but now…I’m trying for my downfall.
(He hits the ice again; this time make the ice around the hole fragile. He takes off his clothes, stripping down to his underwear)
(At the front of the house a car pulls up and a woman walks out of it)
AUDREY
MILO? ARE YOU HOME?
(Milo takes a deep breath. He pauses then begins to walk up to the ice)
MILO NARRATION
I know what you’re thinking, “There’s no point in doing this”, “You’ll be just fine”, “Everything will get better”. Nothing personal…but there is nothing you could possibly say that will make me change my mind…I’m broken…there is no going back.
(Audrey walks up to Milo’s front door)
AUDREY
Milo? (She knocks on the door) Can you open the door please? (She waits. She gently turns the knob. As the door opens, she peeks her head in) Milo? (She walks in, looking around) Where are you?
MILO NARRATION
I’ve really been thinking this through ever since my audition…no one will miss me…no one will come looking for me.
(Audrey walks in the living room)
AUDREY
Milo?
(Milo walks to the edge of the ice)
MILO NARRATION
I’ve made my peace with this…and now I’m ready (He turns around and closes his eyes) to finally rest in peace.
(Audrey rushes to the back window with shock)
AUDREY
MILO???
MILO NARRATION
I bid everyone a good day…and a good life without me in this world anymore.
AUDREY
NO! (She hurries out the back door and stands on the patio) MILO, DON’T!
MILO NARRATION
Goodbye…
AUDREY
MILO!
(Milo falls backwards, allowing his body to be submerged in the frozen lake)
AUDREY
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

SCENE 7
{WARNING: Rated M}
[Milo’s House]
MILO NARRATION
As I feel myself sinking, the feeling of tranquility washes over me. That’s why I don’t even react to the bitter coldness of the water. I’m at peace, and so is my soul. And now all I have to do…is wait…..But I don’t wait. I hear a voice.
???
Milo? Miiiloooo?
MILO NARRATION
It’s no voice I’ve ever heard before. Especially since it isn’t a voice coming from around me…It’s in my head.
???
Milo…I have watched you suffer for far too long, and I will not let you end your act like this. Your life is just like any show; it must go on. The world is cold to you, now you will always have the cold on your side…the real cold.
MILO NARRATION
I didn’t know how to react to that, all I could muster up was a bubbly “Who are you?”. Somehow, the voice manages to understand me.
???
I am Mother Nature. The most powerful of all. The giver of life. And YOUR savior.
(A raccoon walking on the outside of the frozen lake buries its food in the snow. The critter jumps as Milo pops out from the human-sized hole in the ice, gasping for air. Distraught Audrey raises her head from sobbing)
AUDREY
Milo? (Milo struggles to climb out from the hole. Audrey quickly rises to her feet) MILO! (She runs over to the edge of the ice) HOLD ON! (She steps her toe on the ice and a small fragile crack forms) Whoa! (She looks around) Wait right there! (She runs over to the tree, breaks off a large branch, then goes back to the edge of the ice) Here! Grab onto the branch)
(Milo reaches for the branch, but it’s too far. Audrey goes a bit closer, her toes inches away from the crack she started before. The ice beneath Milo’s stomach breaks)
MILO
Shit!
AUDREY
No! (Milo reaches his hand out to grasp for something, making a frozen-solid rope of ice. The end of the rope strikes a tree. The tree crunches as it begins to slowly fall towards Audrey. The raccoon looks up at the tree, stunned) Oh my God!
MILO
GET OUTTA THE WAY! (The raccoon recovers behind the tree. Audrey tucks and rolls to her side as the tree falls a solid foot in front of her) AUDREY! (Milo climbs the ice rope onto land and rushes over to her. The raccoon walks away from the tree, carrying on with its business) Audrey! Are you alright??
(Milo helps Audrey to her feet)
AUDREY
Yes, I’m fine. (She angrily shoves Milo) WHAT THE FUCK’S THE MATTER WITH YOU?!
MILO
What?!
AUDREY
You just tried to kill yourself! Have you lost your mind?!
MILO
You…You were worried about me…?
AUDREY
Yes I was worried about you, I thought you were dead! And did you just make ice come out of your hand?? (Milo looks down at his open palms) How did you do that?
(Milo examines his hands, confused)
MILO
I..don’t..know…
AUDREY
So…you have the power to shoot ice?
MILO
I guess. But I don’t see how that’s useful.
(Milo flickers his hand, shooting sharp icicles)
AUDREY
Whoa! (Four of the icicles impale the raccoon’s body. It lies there, whimpering in pain as its blood drips down the icicles) OH MY GOD, THAT POOR CRITTER! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!
MILO
I…I didn’t mean to do that…but…
(Milo’s face twitches. He sinisterly smiles as the next thought goes through his head)
MILO NARRATION
But that’s when I realized…my power is not just to shoot ice…
MILO
It’s to bring pain…
AUDREY
What?
(Milo gestures Audrey with his smile, she turns back to him with a neutral face but a visibly shaken posture)
MILO
Audrey. Don’t you see what we have here? We have power. I can freeze hell over on Mr. Grizzly, we can go get new jobs, and start a life of our own!
AUDREY
You…You’re talking about murdering our boss…
(He takes a step forward, courageously raising his fist for his and Audrey’s honor)
MILO
No, not murder, just teaching him a lesson with a taste of his own medicine, and the fury of Winter. (Pause. He starts to walk forward, Audrey walks back) What’s the matter? Why do I frighten you? I thought you cared about me.
AUDREY
I do care about you, Milo…but-
(Milo stops walking, and Audrey does, too)
MILO
-“But”?? But what?? (Aggravated, he begins to pace around) What else could there possibly be?? Either you care about me or not! (He stops, standing in place) Did our special dance mean nothing to you?!
AUDREY
No! It does mean something to me! It was very special!
MILO
Then come stay with me! Forever!
(Pause)
AUDREY
No!
(She turns and begins to run away)
MILO
Oh, no you don’t! (He thrusts his arm at her, freezing her in a block of ice. He walks over to her with his sinister smile coming back on his face) Oh, Audrey, such a shame things had to come to this. But I’m lonely. I need someone in my life, and you’re that someone. And when someone great enters my life, they come as they go! But not you…I’m not letting you go…I’m taking you back, I’m taking my life back! Starting with my audition. (He runs his icy hands through his hair, turning it blue) Ahhhh, how do I look? (Brief pause) I know, you’re speechless! I do look good, don’t I? But I can’t go to the cabaret like this. Hmmmm (He scratches his chin) looks like I’m gonna need a suit. (He turns to Audrey) I’ll be back, beautiful, you just stay here and…chill out..Hahahahahaaaa…

YOUNG MAN

SAMPSON
What are you doing here? Your shift starts in four hours.
YOUNG MAN
Yes I know! But I need you to hide me!
SAMPSON

YOUNG MAN

SAMPSON
Are you outta your fucking mind? I have a business to run, I’m not getting involved with the police!
YOUNG MAN
Sampson, please!
(The store’s front door opens)
DOORMAN
No entrance, buddy, members only.
(Milo shoots ice at the Doorman, sending him flying to the wall, being pinned down by the ice)
YOUNG MAN
WHOA! LOOK OUT!
SAMPSON
What the fuck?
(Sampson walks to the doorway as the young man stands behind the counter, keeping a safe distance. Milo walks forward with a grin, wearing a fur Winter coat)
MILO
Hello, gentlemen!
SAMPSON
Who the hell are you?
MILO
I…am Snow Miser.
(He throws his coat to the floor, revealing him in his underwear and guinea tee)
SAMPSON
Security!
(Two guards charge at Milo, each one coming from different directions. Milo freezes them both in blocks of ice. The young man runs out the store. Sampson jumps and falls back, looking up at Milo in fear)
MILO
Now (He walks towards Sampson, Sampson cowardly crawls backwards) I suggest you try and help satisfy this fellow customer, if you don’t want to end up like your security over here.
SAMPSON
I…I’ve met my fair share of freaks in the city, but you (Milo stops and so does Sampson) you’re not human! What are you?!
MILO
I (He leans forward, bringing his face inches from Sampson’s) am colder than death! Now, won’t you help me find a suit? A real nice blue suit?
SAMPSON

Yes, Veronica, believe me, I have all my intentions of calling you back, you certainly have quite a talent in dancing…Ok, alright, bye-bye. (He hangs up then walks over to the bartender) Make it a scotch on the rocks, Miles.
(Milo comes barging in the door)
MILO
Have no fear, warm-blooded judges! I am here!
ELDERLY JUDGE
Mr. White?
MILO
Who’s ready to see the best damn performance this joint has ever seen??
ELDERLY JUDGE
I don’t. I disqualified you. Now get out of my cabaret before I call the law on you.
MILO
Ohhh, but you don’t understand! You see, my act is pure, heartfelt, and golden voiced!
ELDERLY JUDGE
Do you know how many people come in here saying that? What makes you so special?
MILO
I wrote the song myself!
ELDERLY JUDGE
Good for you, now take your performance elsewhere. (Milo pushes the elderly judge in a seat) Hey, what the hell?! (Milo freezes the elderly judge’s torso to the seat) Hey! Hey, what did do?! Get me outta here!
MILO
I’M TRYING TO BE NICE HERE! And you are just throwing me to the side like trash! Well I will not be pushed away like that anymore (He begins to walk to the stage) when I have a performance to show, I seek to it that it never goes unseen!

{WARNING: Rated M}
[Belchwin City Central]
(The Central is being destroyed; cars are being flipped over, buildings are being turned blue as their front doors are being frozen, and people are being frozen in blocks of ice)
MILO NARRATION
Finally, my day of redemption and revenge has come, and society has finally paid the price for what they have done to me. They all will face my cold wrath; Men, woman, babies. And soon this city will be one big popsicle stick. My own frozen kingdom.
(Moments later, it starts to snow. All the people and cars are frozen in ice blocks. The Central has fallen silent. Milo walks through the streets, happily spinning around as the snow falls to the ground)
MILO NARRATION
What followed then was beautiful. Silence. Absolute fucking silence. It was peaceful. As the world around me froze in time, my world was still in motion. (He slowly gets on the ground, crosses his legs, places his arms on his lap, and closes his eyes) My world felt perfect…or…so I thought. As I tried to feel peace in this rare moment, I fail to find tranquility in my soul. (He opens his eyes and leans forward on his arms, troubled) I felt empty…I felt lost…I was confused…but then I remember why I came to this city in the first place…I’m alone…

SCENE 11
{WARNING: Rated M)
[Milo’s House]
(Milo sits slouched over on the edge of his bed in despair. He has Audrey in her frozen block dragged in the room, standing straight across from him)
MILO NARRATION
Yes…it was loneliness that was making me feel empty. Before…it was because of bullies…but now…it’s all my fault…What have I done? I even froze the one companion I have in this whole city! What the fuck is wrong with me? And here she is now…staring me down with shame…
(Milo looks up at Audrey with red face full of anger)
MILO
Stop looking at me…I said…stop…STOP LOOKING AT ME!
(He grabs a baseball bat and starts swinging it at Audrey, completely crushing her into nothing but shards of ice. He runs outside, drops to his knees and sobs into the palm of his hands)
MILO NARRATION
I am nothing! Nothing! I deserved what I got. This isn’t the justice I wanted, this is much worse. I’m all alone…but I deserve it…only this time…I can’t end the pain…
(Milo moves his hand out of pain as the snow suddenly becomes hot)
MILO
Ow!
MILO NARRATION
But then I got what I wanted…I knew that I wasn’t alone. (Milo looks up) A light. A bright, orange light. And it was headed my way. (Milo rises to his feet) I don’t know who it was, but I didn’t care…it was another human being.
(Heat Miser walks out from the snowy mist and up to Milo. Milo walks up to Heat Miser. Heat Miser’s hand turns red, preparing to cast his heated fury on Milo)

Ready or not… (Milo’s hand turns blue, preparing to freeze hell on Heat Miser) Here I come…

A cold wind blows across the ice sheet Milo has been living on. He barely shivered, having become used to the elements over the last several years. He sat on a pile of snow, staring blankly into the distance. Seeing nothing as he usually did, he sighed and held up a chunk of unmelting red ice.
“It’s been two years Audrey. Two years since our lives changed forever” Milo said quietly. He put the ice chunk down on the ice and stood up. He wandered around the ice sheet he called home, seeing nothing but the vast ocean. He heard coughing and sneezing and looked around slowly. He noticed an old man laying halfway off the ice in the water.
Milo helped the old man to the ice.
“Who are you?” Milo asked
“I’ll t-t-tell you everything once I w-w-warm up. D-do you have a bl-bl-blanket?” the old man stuttered from the cold. Milo took him back to his small campsite. A small tent and fire greeted them. Milo reached into the tent and pulled out a tattered blanket and handed it to the old man.
“It isn’t a lot but I can share” Milo smiled as he wrapped the blanket around the old man, “that blanket was one of the few things I was able to grab when I had to leave home a few years back. That blanket and that,” he indicated towards the chunk of red ice “stupid thing”. Milo began to explain the events of his life and his story to the old man.
The old man looked at Milo and spoke,
“That’s…That’s something else, Milo.” He paused, “Truth is, I was on the task force assigned to stop you. I kinda fell off our boat and drifted over here.” He sighed, “I never knew your side,” the old man extended his hand, “My name is Captain Crubbe”
Milo shook the old man’s hand,
“I suppose you’re going to arrest me now”
“No, on the contrary I actually want to help you, now that I know your side,” Crubbe said. Milo smiled as he spoke
“I want to get revenge on the ones who drove me to living on this sheet of ice,” He growled. As Milo got angry his hair turned to ice spikes and ice shards shot out of his hands. Crubbe took a step back and asked,
“What’s the plan?”
Milo smiled and lifted a hand, bringing with it a huge wall of ice around himself and Crubbe
“I figured we could use a little privacy,” He smiles, “I want them to suffer like I did, SUFFER IN THE COLD THE WAY I DID,” He screamed. Just then, Milo fell to the ice. Reaching towards the chunk of ice, now glowing red
“Her heart….She won’t let me be fully evil…She’s still here,” Milo smiled painfully as Crubbe helped him to his feet
“Specifically whats the plan,” Crubbe asked patiently
“I’m going to play that judge like a puppet, kill him, and freeze that Grizzly’s balls off,”

Raising his hands, Milo created a gap in the ice wall for him and Crubbe to walk through. As they walked, Milo explained his plan for the judge.
“I plan to get in to his office somehow, capture him, then I’ll let you in and we’ll run from there” Milo grinned evilly
“I think that’ll work. I’m here to help you” Crubbe said quietly. He and Milo stood at the edge of the ice sheet
“How do we get back?” Crubbe asked
“I can freeze anything and you’re worried about getting back. What, do you have slush for brains?” Milo asked sarcastically
Milo raised his hand and his eyes began to glow as the wind whipped around him. His hair growing and turning ice white as he began to growl. Milo took his other hands and began to push it forward. As he did, an ice bridge began to form crossing the water. Milo walked forward, followed by Crubbe, the bridge melting away after them. They reached the shore after a few hours walk. Stepping off the ice bridge, Milo spoke
“I never thought I’d be back here so soon. This place, the place that ruined me….”
The duo walked towards the office building where the judge worked, the Belchwin City Cabaret. Along the way, they past the worn down dwelling that used to be home from Milo. Milo stopped to look at the house for a minute. A single frozen tear rolled down his cheek. He pulled out the chunk of red ice. It was extremely warm
“Audrey….” He paused “I’ll be back in a second, Crubbe.” Milo walked into the house and to the bedroom where he smashed Audrey to pieces years ago. The pieces were still there, where they lay from so many years ago. Milo was silent. He turned and walked out back to Crubbe. Without saying a word, he continued on to the cabaret.
“We’re here” Milo sneered sharply. “The prick has the penthouse office.”
“Find a waterline in. Can’t you travel through ice?” Crubbe spoke wisely.
Milo smiled and found the water line. With a chuckle, he broke the waterline and touched the water. In an instant Milo disappeared into the water line, traveling as a chunk of ice all the way to the penthouse apartment.
Rising out of the toilet, Milo cursed under his breath as he stepped out of the bowl, dripping toilet water.
“Last time I travel by ice” He muttered quietly
Milo walked out of the bathroom to the judge’s office. He opened the door and walked up behind the judge, breathing cool air down his neck. The judge shivered and turned around. Horror and recognition crossed his face.
“That’s right, judge. Milo’s back for a second audition” Milo hissed, with coldness in his tone.
“I don’t care how many auditions you try out at, you’re still a talentless hack and I will never pass you” the judge snapped.
“Well, I think you’ll find my next attempt rather….cool” Milo said as he blew ice onto the judge, freezing him alive.
Walking to the phone on the desk, he dialed the front door.
“Please send up Captain Crubbe. He should be waiting in the lobby.”
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
After seeing Milo disappear to into the waterline, Captain Crubbe walked back around the building. He stepped into the restroom in the lobby and began to clean himself up, wiping the dirt and grime off his face and hands. He ran water through his hair and pulled it back neatly.
Stepping out of the restroom, he asked
“The judge for the city-wide talent shows and performing arts programs is in, correct?”
“He’s in but the wait list for an appointment is several months long. Additionally, there’s a dress code,” The receptionist snapped. Crubbe smiled and spoke softly
“Don’t worry, I’m sure that he’ll be calling for me any moment now.”
The receptionist began to laugh at him but was abruptly stopped by the phone. She picked up the phone and her face dropped.
“The judge would like to see you. Top Floor” She spoke in shock, as she handed him a visitor pass. Crubbe stepped into the elevator and waved goodbye to the receptionist.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Milo sat on the judge’s desk as he waited for Crubbe. He helped himself to an apple from the bowl on the desk. Crubbe stepped out
“Couldn’t wait for me to get here before we had lunch?” Crubbe laughed, “Lets figure this out”
“Way ahead of you. We take him down the fire escape and take him to the old house in his car” Milo explained cheerfully.
“You froze him alive, I assume?” Crubbe asked as he opened the window to the fire escape.
Milo gave Crubbe a look that said “Obviously” as he lifted the judge through the window. Crubbe helped him bring the judge down the fire escape, all 25 floors. Crubbe grabbed the judge’s car, a Mercedes S Class in black and brought it around.
They loaded the judge into the back seat and gunned it to Milo’s old house. Quickly bringing the judge inside and laying him on the couch, they discussed.
“Well, going through his wallet, it looks like he’s in a performance later today” Milo bounced excitedly. “Lets kill him there”
“What are you thinking?” Crubbe asked
“A noose and puppet strings. As we puppet him the noose gets tighter until he suffocates.” Milo laughed as he pulled ropes from a closet.
“Why do you have that much rope?” Crubbe interrogated him
“Uhhh…Audrey was into some kinky shit..” Milo tried to brush off the question,
“Sure, but anyway, we should get to the theatre to prepare this” Crubbe said laying back on the couch with a coke.
“We can do that” Milo said as he went to bring the car around.
They loaded the judge back into the car and drove around back of the theatre. Popping the lock on the door, they snuck inside and began setting up the wires. They finished just before showtime. They sneakily hooked up the judge to the ropes and noose. Milo unfroze the judge.
“If you want to be free, then perform” Milo hissed icily
The judge began to perform with Crubbe watching from the rafters. Crubbe began to slowly control the judge through the ropes. Milo waved his hand and Crubbe began to slowly tighten the noose. The judge started panicking and moving erratically, trying to escape.
Milo motioned for Crubbe to pull the noose all the way. Crubbe smiled and upon the judge leaping into the air, he pulled the noose tight and the judge began to struggle and suffocate in front of the crowd.
Upon realizing it was not a part of the show, the crowd began screaming. Milo floated to center stage.
“This is the fate of those who cross Snow Miser. Death”

The rain pours down on the cold night in Belchwin City. Everyone stays indoors. Everyone stays indoors. Everyone except him. The bright blue neon lights illuminate the restaurant of La Mente and the surrounding area. Two men wait outside of the restaurant, covered in hats and trench coats. Suddenly, the door opens, making its unique Ding Ding sound. A tall, slender, and dominating man walks out of the restaurant and towards his car. The men take a good look at his brown suit and white hat.
LEFT MAN
That's him
RIGHT MAN
Let’s go
They slowly, but surely walk towards the man. Left man already has his pistol out while Right man keeps his hand steady over it. Their hearts start to race, and their sweat blends in with the cold rain. Suddenly, the man stops in his tracks. This makes the two men’s hearts skip a beat. He turns around with his head down to the ground
ROY
You wanna see something cool?
The two goons are baffled by this. The Left Man instantly raises his gun and aims it at the man’s head. There's a long silence. The Right Man waits for something to happen...but nothing happens. Right Man looks at his partners face and notices the confused and struggling expression he is wearing.
RIGHT MAN
What are you doing?!
LEFT MAN
I….Cant….MOVE!
The Man smiles and looks up towards the sky. The Left Man then swings his arm and PISTOL WHIPS his partner in the face, cracking his skull. Right Man slams into the ground with a loud THUD. Left Man screams as his arm then twists and then SNAP. Left Man falls down with a broken twig of an arm. The Man lets out a deep breath as if he had just finished lifting a weight. He walks over to Left Man who is groaning and squirming in pain. He kneels down
ROY
Alright...let's cut the crap and just answer me...who sent you?
Suddenly, Roy’s phone vibrates in his pocket. Roy takes out the device and sighs to himself. He answers the call and the second he brings it to his ear, the voice of an angry lady screeches through the phone
ROY
....Yes mother I know ...Mother can this please wait ...Ok fine i'm coming...Christ
Roy puts the phone away as Left Man looks at him confused.
ROY
We’ll discuss later...right now you can get some rest…
The Left Mans foot lifts up and his body is pulled down the sidewalk. Roy follows the man to his car and opens the trunk. The Left Man is lifted up and thrown into the trunk. Roy closes it, enters the car, then drives home.
Roy eventually gets to his large house down in a quiet part of the city. He opens the door and BOOM. Confetti blows up into his face. Roy's eyes widen as he sees his family and friends yelling out “SURPRISE” in unison. Roy catches his breath in shock at the sudden surprise, but then smiles to see his people.
After the party, Roy’s father calls Roy over to the living room. Roy looks at the old man of Roy Dragon II, a shell of his former self. A fallen king.
ROY DRAGON II
Come here Roy…
A glass of water floats towards his father and is placed in the cupholder in his armrest. Roy walks over to him.
ROY DRAGON II
Now you can legally drink
Roy chuckles
ROY
When has that stopped us?
ROY DRAGON II
The point I'm trying to make, boy, is that I now believe that you have earned a new responsibility for your life…
Roys smile disappears
ROY
What are you telling me Dad?
ROY DRAGON II
I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time. Not just because I am giving you this role, but because I can now live in peace with your mother for the rest of my days. It's time Roy.
Roy Dragon II takes off his gold necklace and gives it to Roy. The necklace of a Dragon.
ROY DRAGON II
You now wear the family crest...you must promise me that you’ll never take it off until your future son has earned the right to become Boss
Roy looks at the necklace with tears in his eyes
ROY
Thank you...father…
Roy Dragon II hugs his son. Roy returns the embrace
ROY DRAGON II
You will guide your men and rule our kingdom like a dragon watching over his land. You will learn how to be a true leader
ROY
I won't let you down dad…
(Later)
Roys steps outside with a whole range of feelings and emotions swirling around in the depths of his mind. He thinks to himself as he walks to his car
ROY
Wow...this was unexpected...this is going to be a hell of a story for me… I am now THE MAN
Roy opens the car trunk to find it EMPTY
ROY
…...oh
THE CAPTURED GOON then smacks Roy in the head with a rock, knocking him out. Roy falls to the ground, completely unconscious. The goon then puts Roy in the trunk and drives the car off with his keys. The Goon takes Roy’s phone and dials a number with it, all while driving the car with one arm. He places the phone near his ear.
GOON
I’m bringing him home boss, alive…I know what the original plan was but trust me, this is better
