jump babe.
SHE LOCKS LIPS WITH MATT AND THEY JUMP INTO THE POOL.
UNDERWATER, THE WINGS OF CLARISSA AND SAMANTHA GROW . . . HELD TIGHT AGAINST THEIR BODIES THEY LOOK ALMOST LIKE THE SCALES OF A MERMAID. THEN THE TWO WRAP THEIR WINGS AROUND MATT AND PULL HIM CLOSE.
CLARISSA SMILES. SHE'S SHIVERING WITH EXCITEMENT.
CLARISSA
Would you like to be baptized? It is entirely your choice. But the feeling . . . the feeling is so remarkable . . .
MATT
Sure. Bring it on. You've invited me into your family. You've welcomed me into this place with open arms. I love each of you, and I love everything here. What can I say? I feel like I'm a part of this place. Already. I totally feel like I belong. Let's make it official. I'm a honeybee.
CLARISSA
Take the wrist of my left wing with your left hand.
MATT DOES THIS; CLARISSA WRAPS HER LEFT WING AROUND MATT'S RIGHT WRIST. THE BOND IS STRONG. MATT'S CHEST MOVE WITH THE WAVES OF EMOTION PASSING THROUGH HIS BODY. SAMANTHA WRAPS HER WINGS AROUND MATT'S WAIST [5.].
CLARISSA PLACES HER RIGHT WING ON MATT'S HEAD [5.].
THE COPS GASP. THE WING IS BEAUTIFUL. IT GLITTERS LIKE THE SHALLOW POOL, UNDER SUCH BRILLIANT LOWLINE LIGHTS [6.].
CLARISSA
Having been commissioned by Jesus Christ, I baptize [5.] you in the name of Joseph, and of Jackson, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Hold your breath.
CLARISSA PUSHES MATT DOWN INTO THE POOL. SHE HOLDS HIM UNDERWATER FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, THEN LETS HIM RISE.
MATT EXHALES.
SAMANTHA
Congratulations, Matt. Now your wings will truly grow.
THEY LOCK LIPS AND MAYBE WINGS; SAMANTHA, CLARISSA, AND MATT.

INT. HONEYBEE HIVE - LEVEL ONE BELOW - DAY
(BRIAN, NICOLA)
AS A BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN WHITE PIGEON; WE'VE FOUND A NEW HOME - LEVEL ONE BELOW IN THE HONEYBEE HIVE. OUR LOFT IS ABOVE GROUND, BUT STILL BELOW, AND COMPLETELY ENCLOSED, BUT STILL SPACIOUS . . . VERY SPACIOUS. THROUGH THE WIRE MESH THAT FORMS OUR FLOOR WE CAN SEE THE ACTUAL FLOOR OF THIS LARGE LEVEL FAR BELOW.
THIS REMARKABLE SKY-LOFT ENCIRCLES - THOUGH AS A SQUARE - SOME PRISTINE PLANTATION THAT RESTS ALSO ON WIRE MESH, AND IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO WINGED BEINGS. SUNLIGHT FROM A LOWLINE [3.] SKYLIGHT DRENCHES THE PLANTS AND US. WE STAND UP AND TAKE TO THE INTERIOR SKY.
WE CAPTURE - IN THE SPACE SURROUNDED BY THE LOFT - TWO HONEYBEES DISCUSSING CURRENT AFFAIRS; BRIAN AND NICOLA. YOU'VE MET THEM BEFORE: BRIAN - THE GUY IN CHARGE OF SURVEILLANCE, AND NICOLA - THAT SEXY BEE WHO SEDUCED MATT SEVERAL SCENES PRIOR TO THIS ONE.
BRIAN
They let them in! Why did they let them in? How could they let them in? They're cops. They're gonna find these plants.
AS WE LISTEN WE NEAR A CORNER IN THIS SQUARE SIDES CONDUIT. WHOA! TIME TO ROLL [2.] [3.]! WE TAKE THE TURN BY PRACTICALLY SOMERSAULTING THROUGH THE AIR AND THEN - ONCE MORE - OUR GAZE CAPTURES THE TWO HONEYBEES AND WE CONTINUE TO LISTEN. BUT WE ONLY JUST MANAGE TO REMAIN AIRBORNE.
THEY'RE LYING DOWN, SURROUNDED BY NAKED FLORA AND FAUNA, INCLUDING POT PLANTS, APPLE FLOWERS, AND EVEN TULIP TREES THAT ARE ACTUALLY SITTING ON THE FLOOR FAR BELOW, BUT EASILY REACH UP TO US.
NICOLA
Relax. They can't fly. They won't find our plants.
BRIAN
Hierarchies.
BRAIN RAISES A WING.
BRIAN
That's how they run the city. They need to be in charge. They need to be on top. They ain't just gonna come into our Hive and help us out. They'll want to take over, they'll want to turn us into some kind of dull institution, or worse - shut the whole Hive down.
HE PATS AN APPLE FLOWER WITH HIS WING.
BRIAN
We see the art in everything here. The patterns the trees make when they branch out; when they reach up to the sky [4.] [5.] or skylights. As stunning as any piece of art that hangs in a city gallery. We don't claim ownership. We don't want to capitalize on beauty that we're not - ourselves - responsible for; beauty that almost anyone can capture him or herself through photography, drawing, writing [8.] [9.]. Because nearly everyone needs to have an equal voice [6.] [7.]. Everyone is beautiful, everyone is talented, everyone is equal. But they wanna idolize leaders, pop stars, artists - many of whom are no more talented than the average person [8.] [9.]. It's like they're addicted to salt [10.] [11.] [12.] [13.] . . . but they forget how great natural foods taste . . . stuff that comes straight from the ground.
NICOLA
Brian!
BRIAN
Yeah.
NICOLA WRAPS A WING AROUND BRIAN'S BODY.
NICOLA
How do I smell?
BRIAN
Just intoxicating. Amazing. As usual.
NICOLA BEGINS TO WHISPER.
NICOLA
And my breath?
BRIAN KISSES NICOLA. HE SMILES.
NICOLA
My scent is unique [14.] [15.]. As is Clarissa's, and Samantha's. You forget that our bodies themselves are simply the greatest works of art [16.]. And now the two cops are hanging out with Clarissa, Matt, and Sammi. They love it here. How could they not?
NICOLA STRETCHES OUT HER WINGS.
NICOLA
We welcome them into this beautiful new world with open arms. We show them love. I'm sure they will love us also. And learn from us [17.]. We can teach them so much [17.].
BRIAN
I hope you're right Nicola.
NICOLA
