Ink Page #3

One force delivers hope and strength through good dreams; the other infuses the subconscious with desperation through nightmares. John and Emma, Father and Daughter are wrenched into this fantastical dream world battle, forced to fight for John's soul and to save Emma from an eternal nightmare. Separate in their journey, they encounter unusual characters that exist only in their subconscious. Or do they?

For the love of f*** people! Why do we want to

forefit before the game?

Huh? Let's pick up the bat, and take a few

swings.

Look, letting this one slide is just not an option.

It's not on the table.

Okay? We are there, we will take it.

We can always work the numbers.

We could substantiate an offer at... eighteen?

Be a little creative.

I love this woman. I love this woman.

That's what I'm talking about. A little creativity.

It's bullshit.

This was nothing to you.

This has got to stop.

You can't be absent all the time.

It's about self-image guys.

It's just about how they perceive themselves.

Apollo is high as a kite right now.

So we indulge that.

They want numbers, we'll give them some

numbers.

How solid is this?

Solid.

Okay.

So we meet Hamilton's six-and-a-half.

We offer up a firm commitment. Eighteen

dollars, fifty cents.

No one's gonna f*** with that.

John that's a pretty big stretch.

Dan!

I will sell this. I will sell this.

I just affirm what they already believe.

These guys think they're God. Let's give them

some numbers that agree.

They worship you.

Hey John!

How many generations of trash do you come

from?

Don't listen to them John.

Don't listen to them John!

You are better than that!

You are better than that!

It'll be $10.80

I'm um... paying with food stamps today.

Humiliation.

What are they're staring at?

They'll all burn John.

In case we need the big guns.

If all goes peachy, we will.

Quiet. Get back.

Damn it!

Oh! Let me help you.

No don't touch! Don't touch a thing, please!

He's ahead of us.

He's walking to his car and there's an Incubus

shadowing him.

What does the Incubus look like?

Large. Collected.

One... two... three... four...

What is an Incubus doing with him during the

day?

What does it mean?

It means this guy is f***ed.

Two... three... four... one... two... three... four...

One... two... three... four.

Are you good?

Yes.

And he's bad?

He's not good.

What do you think? Does he seem bad to you

Emma?

You know my name?

I know a lot about you.

How?

When you go to sleep at night, do you like

having dreams?

Well, when you sleep, people like me come.

And we give you, and your family, and everyone

you know good dreams.

Does he give nightmares?

Not yet he doesn't.

Quiet!

Can you take me home?

No, I can't. Why do you want to go home?

I'm scared.

That's strange.

I didn't think a lioness could get scared.

- What?

- A lioness.

Don't tell me you don't know.

Know what?

Ink didn't tell you?

You know you're not a little girl anymore, right?

In this world, you become something else.

And as soon as you came here you started to

turn into a lion.

A lion?

Well you still look like a little girl but...

you started turning into a lion as soon as you

woke up here.

I did?

Yeah, see that's why I'm so surprised.

'Cause usually lionesses are big, brave suckers.

I'm sure you can tell.

You're full of it.

Am I?

Just what I thought.

You know you might start working on your roar

though.

It's tough to be a noble lioness without a good

roar.

Storytellers! Liars!

I'll be rid of you soon.

Intruders!

Stay back... stay back!

This is mine! This is all mine!

Roar!

This... this is all mine! It's all mine!

- Th... th... that's mine!

- Aaagh!

I'm here for a code. I have a delivery for the

Assembly.

There are... there are... there are codes.

They are codes that belong to me and they will

not be taken unless they are replaced by

somthing of greater value.

You want payment?

Payment will be your life!

No my life... my life... no, no! No!

For my things to be taken, must replaced and

doubled.

My life?

Mmm... nah. No, that's... thats, that's not of

adequate value.

- Ooooh... those are mine.

- Two!

Yeah... three of those are mine.

So. Assembly codes?

This way.

So... you've uh... come here for codes have

you? Well!

I have codes!

Some... some... uh... somewhere... um...

Assembly codes!

Umm... somewhere... uhhh...

Assembly codes.

How did you get the big prize?

Oh, she... she... she's worth quite a lot I hear.

I can take her off your hands for you.

Liev... the Storyteller.

Liev.

The Storyteller.

Get down now!

I have a $10,000 PowerPoint here. All the bells

and whistles.

Showing you why we are the greatest, the most

reliable. Yadaa Yadda Yadda.

But this meeting isn't about us.

This meeting is about you.

It's about how you guys are going to be the

biggest company in the world in mobile delivery

systems.

I've given them an hour. They agreed to

eighteen fifty and everything we set forth.

As long as I show up with the final paperwork

and a bottle of Champagne.

We're in business.

One hour... you've got to be there.

Wake up!!!

Your whole life is gonna crumble.

Wake up!!!

We don't have much time.

Tick tock. This man got rocked.

Two... three...

four... one... two... three... four.

One... two... three... four...

What exactly are you doing?

I need links.

Links.

A chain needs links.

Chain... chain reaction?

You've got it, tell her what she's won Bob!

You know what, I don't get this! I don't get you!

I don't get this mission!

What are we even doing here,

we're wasing our time!

A child is going to die and you're burning her

time!

Death is the least of her troubles.

That's right! You know what, you're right! So

let's help her.

You know the downward spiral is essentially a

chain reaction?

And nothing that comes out of your mouth

makes any sense!

They're all reactions!

One thing begets the next. A man has a

weakness, he's flawed.

That flaw leads him to guilt. The guilt leads him

to shame.

The shame he compensates with pride and

vanity.

And when pride fails, despair takes over and

they all lead to his destruction.

What will become his fate.

Something's got to stop the flow.

He's on his way.

The girl needs her father...

and we're going to deliver him.

One... two... three... four...

One...

Something's got to stop the flow.

One hour, you've got to be there.

Wake up! Your whole life is gonna crumble!

Wake up!

He's running for help! We don't have much time.

Tick tock. This man got rocked.

It's okay...

it's all going to be okay John.

Doesn't sound too good.

Yeah, usually I can get it to start.

Unfortunately I'm not to good with cars, but...

this is the engine, right?

Okay, alright.

- Oh, look at this. Yeah, right here.

- What?

- This is your problem right here.

- Oh thank goodness.

Ah, check this out.

Yeah, try starting her up.

Sorry... that was bad. Sorry, that was bad.

- No... it was good.

- No, no. That was bad.

You were so cute.

I was so nervous.

Why?

I don't know... I guess I was humbled by you.

- No! No!

- Shelly! Come back! Shelly!

- No!

- I love you Shelly!

- Shelly! I love you I want the kisses!

- Get away from me you freak!

- Kisses!

- No!

- I love you Shelly!

- No! No!

- I want the kisses! I want the kisses!

- No! No! No!

Oh baby! Oh baby!

I know...

I know I don't... uhh... say...
