Karen kicks open the door, Pump Action Shotgun in hand.
The Bride's on her back, on the floor below her.
Karen aims the shotgun down at her.
With her foot, The Bride kicks the front door.
It SLAMS BACK HITTING Karen in the face.
The Bride scrambles to her feet, running for cover.
Karen pushes the door aside, steps into the room, and FIRES the shotgun The Bride's way.
The Bride DIVES out of the way.
The BLAST DESTROYS the side of the room it HITS.
The Bride comes up from the floor with her SOG in her hand, and THROWS IT across the room at Karen... Karen BLOCKS the thrown knife with her shotgun. The blade sticking in the weapon's wooden stock. She removes the knife, and drops it to the floor.
The Bride is a sitting duck. There's nothing she can do except wait to get shot.
KAREN:
So you came here to kill Lisa Wong, huh? Well that's my sister, b*tch.
I'm Karen Wong, and I've come here to kill you.
She raises the shotgun, and takes aim at The Bride...
THE BRIDE:
Wait a second! Karen stops.
THE BRIDE:
Yes, I'm an assassin. Yes I did come here to kill your sister. But I'm not gonna do that now.
KAREN:
Oh, I know you're not --
THE BRIDE:
- listen to me! I just found out, right now - not two minutes before you blew a hole in the door, I'm pregnant.
Karen looks at her, "what?".
THE BRIDE:
On that table is the home pregnancy kit. On the floor by the door is the strip that says I'm pregnant.
I'm telling you the truth, I don't want to and I won't kill your sister. I just want to go home.
KAREN:
What is this, bullshit story number twelve in the female assassin's handbook?
THE BRIDE:
Any other time you'd be a hundred percent right. But this time you're a hundred percent wrong. I'm the deadliest woman in the world, but right now I'm scared shitless for my baby. Please, you hafta believe me. Look at the strip, it's on the floor.
Karen looks over to the door, and sees the tiny strip on the floor.
KAREN:
Sit down on that bed and put your hands behind your head.
