QUENTIN:

And he's not coming.

HOLLOWAY:

Of course he is.

QUENTIN:

No way!

HOLLOWAY:

You're not leaving him behind.

QUENTIN:

He's unpredictable. When we get to the edge we can come back for him, but he will get somebody killed here. Am I right?

HOLLOWAY:

Shame on you. Will you look at yourselves. What have you turned into? They may have taken our lives away, but we're still human beings. That's all we've got left.

LEAVEN:

We'll come back for him.

HOLLOWAY:

That's a lie and you know it.

WORTH:

He'll be quiet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Quentin opens the door and puts Worth down there. He hangs in the ceiling by himself now with a boot in his mouth. He crawls down the wall. Meanwhile we hear something nearby. As it's no longer is to hear. Worth opens a door, nothing happens, and crawls in. Leaven is up next. Afterwards Holloway. Next is Kazan. As Leaven is in Worth and Holloway stands on the floor. Kazan crawls in the ceiling and afterwards he crawls the wrong way. Holloway goes to get him. Suddenly his pants are stuck in the handle on the floor. Holloway tries to unloose it. Next up is Quentin. Now all is in except Quentin. He is on his way. In the floor the door is opening. So Quentin hurries up and aren't safe as the handle stops turning. He waits to be speared. Nothing happens.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

KAZAN:

Hah!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the spears come again, Quentin just makes it into the passage. Now we are in a red room. Quentin grabs Kazan and almost beats him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

You f***ing f***!

HOLLOWAY:

That's enough!

QUENTIN:

He's a trap!

HOLLOWAY:

Let him go right now!

QUENTIN:

Law of the jungle Holloway. He's a danger in the pack!

HOLLOWAY:

Let him go you nazi!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Quentin lets go of Kazan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

What did you call me?

HOLLOWAY:

Quentin! You let that innocent boy go.

QUENTIN:

You listen to me woman. Every day I mop up after your bleeding heart. The only reason why you exist is because I keep you! I know your type. No kids, no man to f*** you. So you go around outraged sticking your nose up in other peoples a**holes, sniffing their business! You missed your boat Holloway. You are all dry up inside there aren't you? That's your f***ing problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The others look shocked.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

LEAVEN:

How dare you say that to her? You don't know her Quentin. None ouf us know eachother here.

QUENTIN:

Oh, I do.

LEAVEN:

No you don't!

HOLLOWAY:

No wonder your wife left you. All that bottled-up anger. And a thing for young girls.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Quentin slaps Holloway in the face. He looks insulted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

HOLLOWAY:

God help you Quentin. Did you smack your kids around too?

LEAVEN:

Is anybody besides me interested in what's on the other side of that door?

QUENTIN:

Open it.

WORTH:

Door number six, not door number one, door number two.

QUENTIN:

Open the f***ing thing.

HOLLOWAY:

("singing") Sunshine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Worth opens the door. Now we see something completely black. Only with a little light from rooms below and on the other sides. It's the edge, the shell.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

KAZAN:

Nighttime.

WORTH:

My old friend the shell.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Worth crawls into the passage.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WORTH:

It's there. Morning!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we hear a gigantic echo.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

Hang on to me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Quentin crawls in and Worth crawls into the room again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

Can't see sh*t. Nothing to hang on to.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Quentin crawls back.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

We have to try something. We gotta see if the door's over there. Someone has to swing over there and take a look. We make a rope of our clothes. Take it off. I'll tie it onto myself.

LEAVEN:

Yeah, you're gonna go. You weigh like 500 pounds it'll snap in two seconds. I'm the lightest.

QUENTIN:

Forget it.

HOLLOWAY:

I'll go.

QUENTIN:

I'm going Holloway.

HOLLOWAY:

She's right Quentin, you're too heavy. I'm the lightest after Leaven. Anyways it's my turn.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

As Quentin ties the clothes, Holloway and Worth talks together.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

HOLLOWAY:

How long did you know people we're put in here.

WORTH:

A couple of months.

HOLLOWAY:

That's not long , if you consider your whole life.

WORTH:

I am.

HOLLOWAY:

You opened my eyes Worth, that´s something.

WORTH:

David.

HOLLOWAY:

Helen.

WORTH:

And such a Helen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Holloway begins to crawl outside the room. She's almost crying.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

That's as far as you go.

HOLLOWAY:

There's nothing down here. Hold tight. I'll try swinging over there. Place yourself I'm gonna try again. Ok, one more time.

WORTH:

Hurry, you're getting heavy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Third time Holloway tries to swing over to the shell there's a big crash. The others now drops the grip of the rope. Quentin just reaches the end of the rope, as Holloway is falling. The others graps Quentins feet as he is almost out fo the room too.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

HOLLOWAY:

What the hell is going on?

QUENTIN:

Get up here now!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Holloway crawls up. In the end Quentin can reach her arm. First Quentin smiles, Holloway smiles too. But then Quentin looks someway different. Holloway knows what is going to happen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WORTH:

Quentin...

LEAVEN:

Do you got her?

WORTH:

What's going on?

LEAVEN:

Is she Ok?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Quentin drops Holloway and crawls back into the room.
