1 EXT. MANHATTAN. BROADWAY. UPPER 70S. DAY. 1
From across Broadway we see a little girl waiting at the
curb. She steps off the curb toward us --
A TRUCK BARRELS into frame -- The long lens' flattened
perspective makes it look like she's just been crushed. But
the truck flashes by and she's fine. More traffic passes to
and fro through the frame.CREDITS BEGIN OVER:
2 EXT. ANOTHER CORNER. DAY. 2
The LIGHT CHANGES and a crowded corner full of New Yorkers
step off the curb and into the crosswalk -- Before the first
foot lands on the street we go to SUPER SLOW MOTION as the
mid-day work crowd crosses the street.3 EXT. NEW YORK CITY STREETS. DAY. 3
