EXT. LAS VEGAS (STOCK FOTTAGE) - NIGHT
GRAPHIC: 1967 - SOMEWHERE IN NEVADA
It is set against the obvious skyline of Las Vegas.
INT. DR. EVIL'S PRIVATE QUARTERS - DAY
The lair is 1960's high-tech. We see a huge oversized
conference table with six scary-looking EVIL ASSOCIATES,
including a Latin American REVOLUTIONARY in a field jacket
and turtleneck, TWIN NORDIC DOCTORS, and a METER MAID.
ANGLE ON: A RING WITH DR. EVIL'S INSIGNIA ON IT. THE RINGED
HAND IS STROKING A WHITE FLUFFY
CAT.
DR. EVIL
(face always unseen)
Gentlemen, are we all here? Good.
As you know, my plot to high-jack
nuclear weapons and hold the world
hostage has failed. Again. This
organization will not tolerate
failure.
He presses a button. The Revolutionary, the twin Nordic
doctors, and the meter maid's chairs tip
back and fall into a pit. Their chairs return empty and
smoking.
DR. EVIL
Mustafa...
ANGLE ON: MUSTAFA, an Arab with a red Fez.
DR. EVIL
Frau Farbissina...
ANGLE ON FRAU FARBISSINA in a severe Salvation Army uniform.
DR. EVIL
I spared your lives because I need
you to help me rid the world of the
only man who can stop me now. We
must go to London. I've set a trap
for Austin Powers!
EXT. CARNABY STREET - DAY
MUSIC: Soul Bossanova by QUINCY JONES.
We start on a pair of BEATLE BOOTS and peg-top crushed velvet
pants walking down the street in rhythm, à la Saturday Night
Fever.
We pan up to reveal AUSTIN POWERS, International Man of
Mystery. He's a swinger, with
medium-length Mod hair and sideburns and he wears National
Health Services glasses.
Austin walks along Carnaby Street taking photographs. It is
that perpetual bright sunny day you see in Sixties movies.
Austin, bursting with life, gives a two-handed handshake to
a MOD FREAK, who's just gotten off a red double-decker bus.
Austin salutes a strolling BOBBY, then comes across TWO
BEAUTIFUL MOD GIRLS who are excited to see him. They all
start to twist to the music, including the Bobby.
FREEZE FRAME - TECHNICOLOR BLUE TINT - TITLE CARD
(PRODUCTION NOTE: ALL TITLE CARDS WILL BE DONE IN TECHNICOLOR
FREEZE FRAMES À LA SWEET CHARITY.)
In the middle of the street, THREE MODELS wait impatiently
to be photographed in a makeshift photo shoot area.
One wears a short-skirted Stewardess outfit. One wears a
metallic silver pantsuit with matching cowl. The other wears
a see-through Mary Quant dress.
AUSTIN
(taking photos)
Alright, luv! Love it! Turn...pout
for me baby. Smashing!
We see that AUSTIN HAS VERY BAD ENGLISH TEETH. The model in
the stewardess outfit foes on all fours.
AUSTIN
Crazy baby. Give me some shoulder.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
(beat)
No. No.
Show me love. Yes! And...done. Here you go, luv. I'm
spent.
Austin throws the camera in the air behind him. An ASSISTANT
scrambles and catches it before it hits the ground.
AUSTIN
Get these off to Fab Magazine right
away.
SUPERMODEL 1
Austin, you've really outdone yourself
this time.
AUSTIN
Thanks, baby.
SUPERMODEL 2
(suggestively)
We could have another photo session
back at my flat.
AUSTIN
(coyly)
Oh, behave!
SUPERMODEL 3
Austin, I love you!
AUSTIN
So many women, so little time.
A gaggle of MOD GIRLS come towards the shoot site. They
recognize Austin and SCREAM hysterically.
MOD GIRL 1
It's Austin Powers!
Austin runs away. The mob chases after him a la Hard Day's
Night.
EXT. CARNABY STREET
Two BAD GUYS attack Austin. He JUDO CHOPS them.
AUSTIN
Judo chop! Judo chop!
The mob of girls catches up to Austin and he runs away.
EXT. PHONE BOOTH
Austin's in a phone booth with his back turned. The mob
runs by. He steps out, disguised only by a beard.
EXT. GUARD STATION - LONDON - DAY
Austin is jiving down the street and comes across a stoned-
face red-coated BUCKINGHAM PALAM GUARD standing at attention
just outside his guard box.
Austin mugs for the guard, trying to get him to crack up,
but to no avail. Finally, he pulls a big sixties FLOWER
from behind the guard's head and presents it to him. They
both crack up.
EXT. PHOTO BOOTH
The girls run by a Sixties-era photo booth with somebody
inside. Austin steps out.
ANGLE ON THE FILM STRIP
Panels 1-3 show Austin with various exotic MODELS. The fourth
panel shows Austin with the QUEEN.
EXT. CARNABY STREET
Austin spots a VERY PREGNANT HIPPY GIRL with a placard that
says "PROTEST!" in a funky font.
AUSTIN
You might want to protest a bit louder
next time, luv.
