Dark Ride Page #5

and it was great.

I didn't know

you had it in you.

Look at you coming out

of your shell.

Now that you're done,

can we please leave?

This place

creeps me out.

Jim:

You wanna make out or... ?

- Okay.

- It never works.

Scared the sh*t out

of your cheating ex-boyfriend.

- That was priceless.

- It was good.

That was so awesome.

(gags)

I have a feeling

by next weekend

you're gonna need

a new roommate.

Probably.

That's weird.

The door is locked.

Well, open it.

Well, I would, Elizabeth,

but the door's kind of locked

- from the outside.

- Come on, Jim, open the door.

I bet it was Steve.

Liz:

Or Ernie the Slasher.

- Steve, please.

- Jen:
Just relax, everyone.

Please, come on.

Steve, this isn't funny.

She's apologizing, Steve.

Come on, man, open the door.

(people screaming)

(maniacal laughter)

Jim:
No, seriously,

guys, though,

I did a pretty shitty job

down there on the wires.

I'm not surprised that

they didn't hold up.

I'll just go back down there

and fix 'em. I'll be right back.

- You all stay right here.

- Actually, you know what?

I was thinking about

wandering aimlessly in the dark.

It's what I do

for fun.

(indistinct voices whispering)

Jesus Christ, Jen, you almost

gave me a f***ing heart attack.

Your heart rate's not exactly

what I wanted to get a rise out of.

These 'shrooms are really

f***ing kicking in.

Yeah, I know.

Well, they were on

for a minute.

Maybe he's working on it.

I bet that little slut

is working on him.

Holy sh*t. I didn't even realize

she wasn't with us.

Hey, did you see Steve,

following me down here?

Because I wanna grab him

and get the hell out of here.

Oh, really?

- Oh my God.

- Oh, God.

Don't you feel good?

We don't exactly

have to leave right now.

It's kind of awkward timing.

You know what I mean?

My timing is what

makes this interesting.

What about the others?

Couldn't find their way

down here with a road map.

But I heard them

screaming and sh*t.

Yeah, I think we should

let the children play

their children games.

Besides, we have

some adult games to get to.

Oh, God, I love you.

Excuse me...

just one moment.

- What are you gonna do?

- Just a little...

(R&B music playing)

Just a little mood lighting,

a little mood music.

Sorry I don't

have cigarettes.

Oh, God.

Thank you.

- (electricity powering up and down)

- F***ing Steve, I hate him.

I'm so done with him.

I bet he's screwing with the lights.

- What goes around comes around, right?

- Screw you, Liz.

Sorry.

I can't see a thing.

I don't like this, you guys.

Hey, Liz, watch out for the tracks.

Don't sprain your ankle.

Look, I don't know

what you guys are thinking,

but if we're gonna

get out of here,

we've gotta find

our way downstairs.

- Cathy:
In the dark?

- Yeah.

We could use

the concert method.

What's the concert method?

- (lighter clicks)

- Liz:
You have a lighter, right?

- Bill:
Yeah.

- Okay, well, let's go.

(thunder crashes)

This is better.

Thanks.

(child laughing)

(creaking)

(man screaming)

(man screaming)

(doorbell rings)

(child laughing)

(child laughing)

Cathy:
St-Steve?

- (screaming)

- (grunts)

They keep screaming.

Something's wrong.

(pop music playing)

Oh, God,

I love this song.

They're just joking.

They're just joking.

- Okay.

- They're just messing around.

Oh, thank you.

I think we have to go,

and we have to go now.

We've gotta get help.

Where did Bill go?

- Jim! Jim!

- (lock jiggles)

- (moaning)

- (pop music playing)

(Bill screaming

and knocking)

What's going on?

Oh, Jen, you cannot leave me

hanging like this.

It's unhealthy.

Jen, you're killing me.

Please. Thank you.

?I think I'm going out

of my head?

? I think I'm going

out of my head?

? I think I'm going out

of my head...?

- (kissing)

- Oh, what did I do to deserve this?

Oh, God,

I'm almost there.

Oh, God.

(moaning)

(Jen whimpers)

Come here.

Give me a kiss.

What the f***?

Oh my God!

What the f***?

Holy sh*t.

(crashes)

Come back.

What the f*** are you doing?

Don't f***ing leave me.

(crying)

Oh, God!

Help me! Somebody

let me out of here!

- (lock jiggling)

- Please.

Somebody help me!

Oh, God.

Oh, God!

(whimpering)

Oh, God.

(maniacal laughter)

(laughing continues)

- What?

- Shh shh shh!

- What?

- Do you hear that?

- (screaming)

- (laughing)

- Cathy.

- It's okay.

All right, listen to me.

Shh, it's okay.

Shh, I lost it

back there. I did.

Listen to me, all right?

I lost it back there.

I did.

But I'm back now.

We have to find a way

out of here.

There has to be

another exit,

or fire-code, something.

This is a f***ing

amusement park ride

for God's sakes.

There's f***ing rules.

Cathy:

Shh shh shh.

- I'm too tired.

- We're almost out. Come on.

- No no no no. Where are you going?

- This is my fault.

Don't you get it?

I'm the reason we're here.

I brought us here.

I have to go find

the others!

- Go get help!

- Whispering voices: Go get help...

Cathy!

Cath.

(Liz screams)

Cath!

(Liz crying)

(maniacal laughter)

(maniacal laughter)

(loud creaking)

(sobbing)

(screaming)

That might be her!

Cathy:

Where are you?

(screaming)

(screaming)

(sobbing)

(bangs the door)

(thunder crashing)

(screaming)

(screaming)

(Liz whimpers)

(Liz screaming)

(crying)

(carnival music playing)

(blubbering)

Yeah, this is Reggie.

I'm at the northeast side

of the boardwalk,

- requesting backup.

- (beep)

Reggie:

Henry, Lou.

- that means you guys.

- What's the problem, Reggie?

I got a report that there was some

noises coming from the Dark Ride.

I'm gonna go

check it out.

Sounds good to me.

How can I help you?

Well, by definition

of the term "backup,"

I'm asking you

to back me up.

- Reinforcements are on the way.

- 10-4.

Reggie:

Anybody in here?

This is security.

Anybody

in this building?

Oh my God!

Reggie:
Is anybody

in this building?

Hello!

Oh my God, please...

Reggie:

Hello! Anybody here?

God damn, girl,

what the hell are you doing in here?

All right, look,

everything's gonna be okay.

Just calm down.

Come with me.

We'll call your parents, all right?

Just relax.

What are you

pointing at?

I told you, miss,

everything's

gonna be just fine.

If you relax...

(screaming)

You'd better get over there

before Reggie splits.

You got it.

(crying)

Wait, please.

Come on.

Work, please.

No!

(crying)

Oh my God!

Come on,

you f***ing phone!

Jim!

Oh my God.

(maniacal laughter)

No! No!

(thunder rumbling)

(screaming)

(screaming)

(maniacal laughter)

(electricity powers down)

Cathy?

Cathy. Cathy.

Cathy, wake up.

Cath. Oh, sh*t.

- Bill:
Jim.

- Bill.

Bill.

Dude, you're...

you're alive, man.

Are you okay?

Dude, I'm about as far from okay

as okay gets, man.

I'm freaking out

of my skull.

You need to get us

the f*** out of here, Bill.

Shh, it's over now.

I know. It's okay.

It's over now.

Is he dead?

Are you kidding me?

I don't know if it's a he, a she
