FADE IN

INT. RESTURANT WITH BROKEN WALLS - NIGHT

The word "SAG" floats above the defeated TODD INGRAM's head as his hair regains it normal composure. Todd is a tall blonde bass guitar player wearing a white jumpsuit. Todd touches his hair.

Todd

no..no..

Scott pilgrim

You once were a vegan (vee-gone) but now, you will be gone

Todd

Vee-gone?

Scott head-butts Todd. BOOM. CHU-CHING. Todd turns into a bunch of coins. The coins fall to the ground. CHING CHING. Scott touches his forehead. Two VEGAN POLICE run out of the room high-five, and get in their car.

     VEGAN POLICE

              Yeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh.

FADE OUT

The great thing about Scott Pilgrim vs The World is the movies use of sound effects. In this scene there is a distinct impact noise followed by a shower of coins, when Scott headbutts Todd. The impact sounds are all presented in flat-space and are diegetic. Off-screen before the head-butt we can hear a diegetic "Oh my God." And building up to the hit we hear a non-diegetic thumping bass, that rises and suddenly stops on impact.

P.S. I had trouble uploading the screenplay as a PDF/Image, so I pasted it in directly.
