    I agree with Zagorath, I like the cleverness of the path you took. I found a way to cut two steps off of that route:

    Path

    Sea of Azov ➡️ Bumblebee ⏰ 01:32 🦶7 (Sea_of_Azov ➡️ Greek_colonization ➡️ Latin_alphabet ➡️ B ➡️ B_(disambiguation) ➡️ Bee_(disambiguation) ➡️ Bee ➡️ Bumblebee)

    Notes

    Instead of having to make the transition between “Beta” and “B”, you can go to “Latin_Alphabet” directly from “Greek_colonization”. And once you’ve gotten to “Bee_(disambiguation)” you can go straight to “Bee” from the first link on that page.

    I like following other routes after I’ve submitted my own. I think it’s useful to see what leaps someone else makes, and to learn from someone else’s approach to a problem.

          FADE IN:

          EXT. PARK - DAY

          A sunny afternoon in a bustling city park. A man with a briefcase in an overcoat sits on a bench.

          DEREK (Man ugly and weathered, 40s) I didn’t think you would show up

          ANGELA (Woman, ancient looking, not an unwrinkled patch of skin on her face)

          Look I’ve only made it halfway, and I need to know before I die

          Derek fidgets nervously.

          DEREK I don’t like opening this, it freaks me out

          ANGELA I don’t have much longer to live, just open it.

          Derek fumbles with the claps wipes away sweat from his brow.

          We hear a hissing from the briefcase.

          A man jumps out of the tree nearby pulling a gun and pointing it at Derek

          AGENT FOSTER (Sunburnt, dad bod. 60s)

          STOP! Secret police! Don’t open that briefcase!

          Derek jumps up hands in the air, the briefcase falls to the ground falling open

          SNAKE: (Aged Python CGI or muppet) <HISSING> 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43…

          AGENT FOSTER

          NO! IT’S BEGUN AGAIN! NOT AGAIN!

          End scene

          The script would continue on
