JEFFREY:

Yes.

DOROTHY:

(whispering)

. or do you just want me? I'm going to let

you enter me now.

JEFFREY:

No. I should go.

DOROTHY:

Please. please stay.

She makes him kiss her. he really likes it. Once again, Jeffrey and

Dorothy get VERY HOT. Dorothy and Jeffrey lie down on the roof. Dorothy

cries out suddenly and bangs her head hard again and again against the

roof.

JEFFREY:

Why Dorothy?

We move very close to Jeffrey's ear as Dorothy's lips come up and whisper

into it.

DOROTHY:

Don? I have to make it hurt. I want

there to be nothing again. Don!!!

(as she slams her head

again and again)

She reaches up and clutches Jeffrey then pulls him down with a feverish

kiss. Lightening cracks above them and the wind howls.

FADE TO WHITE:

FADE DOWN TO:

121. EXT. LINCOLN STREET - NIGHT

Jeffrey leaves the pool of light from a street light and walks into

darkness. He continues down the sidewalk. He looks up at the starry sky.

The stars are so far away - the feeling is cold and lonely.

DISSOLVE TO:

121A.

Darkness:
There are bell tones sounding, and as each one sounds pin points

of light appear on Mr. Beaumonts distorted dream face. He is trying to

speak. He's trying to say "Jeffrey."

121B.

Another dark image appears. A robin sits in a tree at night. Very close.

There is a slow low reverberating chirping sound.

121C.

Now Dorothy's apartment building at night. A very low angle looking up

to the roof. Suddenly a pinpoint of red appears coming toward us from

the roof. It flies toward us very fast growing larger until we see it is

a red high-heeled shoe. As it fills the screen it becomes red lips of

Dorothy's which open into a scream.

121D.

Jeffrey wakes in his room - terrified.

122. INT. BEAUMONTS' LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Jeffrey is talking with Aunt Barbara in the semi-dark living room.

JEFFREY:

Will you tell Mom when she gets home from

the hospital that I've gone to dinner at

Sandy Williams' house?

AUNT BARBARA:

Okay honey. that sounds nice. Jeffrey.

I think you've got termites in the house.

JEFFREY:

Oh yeah?. Have you seen any?

AUNT BARBARA:

I've seen a few.

JEFFREY:

Well, I haven't seen any. I wouldn't worry

about it. Look. I better go.

AUNT BARBARA:

Okay honey.

Jeffrey leaves and Aunt Barbara moves about tapping on the walls. She

moves into a dark area and taps. Something falls. She reaches down.

In EXTREME CLOSEUP we see a termite walking by her shoe on the thick

carpet. Then in EXTREME CLOSEUP we see Aunt Barbara's fingers pinch the

termite and bring it up in front of her thick glasses for a look. She

looks at the termite, then looks back at the walls.

We GLIDE ALONG the dark walls of the house.

CUT TO:

123. INT. WILLIAMS' DINING ROOM - NIGHT

They all sit around the dining room table. They have their heads bowed

in a prayer before dinner.

SANDY:

We thank you in the name of the Father, the

Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

They start passing food around.

MIKE:

Like I was saying. if you toss the ball like

this, with your fingers just down here, that

thing'll spin like a beauty. real straight.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

(teasing him)

Yeah? Then how come nobody caught anything

last week?.

MIKE:

(not laughing)

'Cause we had a bad day.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

You play any sports, Jeffrey?

JEFFREY:

No.

MIKE:

Looks like you'd make a good runner.

JEFFREY:

Well.

MIKE:

I mean, you don't exactly have the build

for a football. I mean. no offense.

Jeffrey looks around and sees Sandy looking at him. She then gives a

stern look to Mike. Then Mike and Sandy both look at Jeffrey.

JEFFREY:

(not offended)

No. you're right.

MIKE:

I mean. some guys play anyway but they

usually get slaughtered.

JEFFREY:

Yeah, well I never wanted to get

slaughtered much.

MIKE:

(not getting any humor)

Well, most guys don't. I mean that's the

point. You all mind if I take my vitamins?

MRS. WILLIAMS

No, Mike. but there are vitamins in the

food, you know.

Everyone laughs.

MIKE:

Yeah, but I gotta supplement that. I gotta

take a bunch of zinc too. The body is like

a machine. EVERYTHING has got to stay in

perfect tune for perfect health. That's

what I'm interested in.

Sandy looks at Mike.

MIKE:

Oh yeah. and a few other things.

Everyone laughs again.

SANDY:

We've got some Heinekens.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

Yeah. I like Bud myself.

SANDY:

I'll get it. Mike, whatiya want?

MIKE:

I guess another glass of water.

Sandy and Jeffrey share a look.

DISSOLVE TO:

124. INT. WILLIAMS' BASEMENT - NIGHT

Mike and Sandy are sitting on a couch in the basement. Jeffrey is sitting

on a chair nearby. The television set is on.

MRS. WILLIAMS

(calling downstairs)

Who wants dessert? It's blueberry pie. and

ice cream.

Jeffrey and Sandy say "yes."

MIKE:

None for me, thanks.

Jeffrey looks over at Sandy. Mike sees this. There is more tension

growing.

MIKE:

(referring to T.V.)

What are watchin' this junk for?

SANDY:

You can change it if you want to.

MIKE:

I don't know why we have to watch T.V.

SANDY:

Mike. We don't have to watch it. Come

on.

Mrs. Williams comes downstairs carrying a tray with dessert.

MRS. WILLIAMS

Here you are. Would anyone like coffee?

JEFFREY:

That sounds great!

MRS. WILLIAMS

Anyone else?. Alright Jeffrey, just a

minute.

Mrs. Williams goes back upstairs. Jeffrey and Sandy start eating their

dessert. Sandy watches Jeffrey happily wolf down his pie. Mike stands up.

MIKE:

I'll be right back.

He leaves as if he's going to go upstairs. Once around the corner he

stops and listens to see what Jeffery and Sandy will say to one another.

SANDY:

Well, how did it go?. What happened?

JEFFREY:

Well. I've found out some things.

nothing really for certain. There are some

strange people involved.

SANDY:

What did you see?

JEFFREY:

Well.

(looking around, feeling funny)

Maybe we should discuss this somewhere

else. you know what I mean?

Just then, Mrs. Williams starts down with the coffee for Jeffrey.

She sees Mike at the bottom of the stairs. This seems strange to her.

MRS. WILLIAMS

Mike?. Are you alright?

Mike starts upstairs.

MIKE:

(mumbling)

Yes.

Downstairs, Jeffrey and Sandy hear that Mike was close by. Mrs. Williams

and Mike pass on the stairs and Mrs. Williams enters the basement. She

throws Sandy a concerned look. Just then, Mike calls downstairs.

MIKE:

Sandy?. Could I talk to you a minute?

SANDY:

(calling up)

Sure. just a sec.

(to Jeffrey)

Excuse me.

125. INT. WILLIAMS' LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Upstairs, Mike is by the front door.

MIKE:

Come on out a minute, okay?

SANDY:

Okay.

They leave.

125A. INT. WILLIAMS' BASEMENT - NIGHT

Downstairs Mrs. Williams picks up some dishes.

MRS. WILLIAMS

Please excuse me a moment, Jeffrey, and I'll

get to the dishes.

JEFFREY:

Sure thing. please don't worry about me.

Can I help you with the dishes?

MRS. WILLIAMS

Nice of you to offer, Jeffrey, but certainly

not. just relax and enjoy your coffee.

I'm sure Sandy will be back soon.

Detective Williams comes to the top of the stairs and calls down.
