[GRAPHIC: The "8 Mile" logo]

Announcer: The long-awaited sequel to "8 Mile" is here. Academy Award winner Eminem stars in..."12.87 Kilometers!"

[SONG: Eminem's "Lose Yourself" begins to play in the background over a GRAPHIC of Eminem as Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith]

Announcer: Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith is back, but this time he faces his most challenging opponent yet...himself!

[SCENE: Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith is talking with Stephanie Smith, his mother, in her trailer]

Stephanie Smith: (nervously) Jimmy, I have a surprise for you.

Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith: (annoyed) What?

Stephanie Smith: Your twin brother is back in town, and he wants to challenge you to the ultimate rap battle.

Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith: (surprised) Since when do I have a twin brother?

Stephanie Smith: It's all my fault. I completely forgot about him. Must be all the booze. Sorry about that. (awkward pause) Anyway, I apparently named him Timmy. His nickname is 'C-Turtle."

Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith: (shocked) C-Turtle?

(Timmy 'C-Turtle' Smith enters the trailer)

Timmy 'C-Turtle' Smith: (in a challenging voice) That's right, brother! It's the tortoise versus the hare all over again! And the tortoise always wins! (laughs)

Eminem: (confused and annoyed) What the [EXPLETIVE DELETED] is going on here?

[GRAPHIC: The "8-Mile" road sign. It has been crossed out and replaced with "12.87 Kilometers."]

Announcer: And not only that, Jimmy has another problem to deal with. To make matters worse, the city has decided to convert to the metric system!

[SCENE: The rap club. David 'Future' Porter, the "moderator" of the rap battle, and Timmy 'C-Turtle' Smith are waiting for Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith]

David 'Future' Porter: (confused) I don't know where he is. He's always on time. This has never happened before!

Timmy 'C-Turtle' Smith: (laughs) Looks like the hare can't even find his way to the racetrack!

(Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith suddenly bursts onto the scene)

Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith: (panting) I'm here, I'm here! (takes a deep breath) Don't sass me, man. I know I'm late. It's not my fault!

David 'Future' Porter: What happened?

Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith: Those highway signs threw me off! I couldn't convert the distances correctly, so I got out three exits too early. And when I tried to ask people for directions, it just caused more problems!

(A waitress walks up to Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith)

Waitress: Would you like a drink, sir?

Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith: (panting) Yeah, sure. Give me a Heineken.

Waitress: Okay. Three cubic centimeters worth or six?

Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith: (confused) What? (angered) ARRGHH! Darn you metric system! First you made us change the name of the road, and now you're ruining everything else!

[SCENE: Split-screen of the two brothers; Jimmy is rapping on the left, Timmy is rapping on the right.]

Announcer: In this epic tale of brother versus brother, who will emerge victorious? Find out the answer when "12.87 Kilometers" comes to a theater near you on November 19. How near? On average, 7.42 kilometers from your place of residence.

[The Announcer laughs maniacally as we FADE OUT]
