The Percy Jackson MOvie Script if it was put in MY hands scene 1

Scene 1: The Birthday

(Opens on stars in the universe and begins to slowly narrow on the milky way. Then on the Soloar System, and then on Earth, then on the U.S., and then on NYC, and finally on the Empire State Building. A man- Poseidon- walks into the front doors and the camera follows him. The man stops at the front desk and looks at the bald concere with a determined look.)

Poseidon: I need the pass key to the elevator, please.

Man: You don't need a pass key to go in the elevator, Mr. Fisher. Thank you for taking five seconds from my time.

Poseidon: I need a pass to the six-hundredth floor, Mr. Shiney-head.

(The man freezes for a moment and gets a small golden pass key from the safe under the desk. He hands it to Poseidon and Poseidon walks to the elevator. He presses the call button and waits. Another man- Apollo- walks into the lobby and spots Poseidon. He smiles slightly and walks over to him)

Apollo: Poseidon.

Poseidon: Apollo. Long time no see.

Apollo: Yes. You've been missing many meetings. Zeus is not pleased. You'd best prepare yourself for the worse.

Poseidon: As should you. I need to make an admittance tonight at the Summer Solstice. It might send Zeus off on a rampage. Thunder. Storms. Maybe even worse.

Apollo: What'd you do?

(Poseidon doesn't answer. The elevator opens and they ride up to Olympus. When they get up there, Poseidon sighs and walks forward slowly, with Apollo trotting besides him)

Apollo: Poseidon, you know you can tell me anything. I can keep a secret. You know that.

Poseidon: Keep a secret? That's the last thing you can do, Apollo.

Apollo: Come on, Poseidon. (Apollo stops Poseidon from going further) Tell me.

(Poseidon hesitates) Poseidon: Fine. I have a son, okay?

(Apollo looks at Poseidon and drops his jaw) Apollo: You- you're kidding me, right? Poseidon, that's breaking your vow! Remember? We shan't not have-

Poseidon: (finishing him off) Any offspring until the new age of the children of the gods. I know, Apollo. Now do you understand why I'm not wanting to be here? I need to tell Zeus. Otherwise, I- I'll be punished more than I could be now. Now we're going to be late if you don't mind us moving on.

(Poseidon pushes past Apollo and the camera slowly goes out. Screen fades and opens to the throne room. All the gods are in thrones. Zeus looks at Poseidon.)

Zeus: Brother. This is the first meeting you've attended in two years. What has gotten you busy?

(Apollo looks at Poseidon and bits his lower lip. Poseidon stands up and looks at the floor.) Poseidon: I need to make a confession. I have disobeyed you. And the others.

Zeus: What are you talking about?

Poseidon: I have a son, Zeus.

(The counsil is silent and Zeus slowly nods.) Zeus: You expect me to get angry. And I am. I'm furious, as the matter of fact. But I must make a confession as well. I have a daughter.

Poseidon: You have an offspring and you did nothing to tell us?! My son was just born, and I told you-

Zeus: I haven't lied about anything!! My daughter was just born as well, last December!

Poseidon: (Getting off of his throne and storming to his brother) And you did not tell us at the Winter Solstice meeting!

Zeus: I just heard about this in March, Poseidon.

Poseidon: But if I wasn't going to mention this, you would've kept it a secret! You would have lied to all of us!!

(Zeus stops arguing and looks away from Poseidon in anger. In the background, thunder rolls.) Zeus: What is your son's name, Poseidon?

Poseidon: (After a pause) Perseus Jackson.

Camera zooms out and goes back to the universe. The title of the movie is formed from the stars and a blast of lightning breaks them. Onto scene two.
