ZACH:

We can't afford too many surprises.

JOHNNY:

He'll never make it out of the park

alive. I promise you that....

INT. MOVIE THEATER, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew feels dizzy.

MATTHEW:

I gotta sit down, I have a headache.

He tries to sit.

BRUCE:

NO. Don't. You'll get a shock from hell

if you touch that seat.

MATTHEW:

Who are you anyway ? What the hell is

this ?

BRUCE:

Just shut the f*** up.

Bruce is trying to pry the door with the flickering exit

light to open. It comes open a moment later. He runs

into the Hall of Doors.

SAUNDRA:

I think we should follow him...

MATTHEW:

I just need to sit and think for a

second.

INT. HALL OF DOORS, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

As Bruce walks slowly and cautiously in, Saundra walks

behind him several paces.

MATTHEW:

(from Off Camera)

OUCH !!! GODDAMMIT that hurts !!!!

BRUCE:

(whispers to himself)

I told him not to sit down in

there.....

Matthew limps in

SAUNDRA:

Are you okay ?

MATTHEW:

Fine, fine, I feel like a chicken

McNugget.

The door locks shut and the lights dim.

JOHNNY:

(Voice Over from P.A.)

Well, boss you've already surprised me.

I'll try not to let it happen again.

Where to kids ?

The ceiling begins to lower.

MATTHEW:

The roof is coming down.... hey,

you.... Which door gets us out of here

??

SAUNDRA:

Which one, this door is locked !

BRUCE:

NO ! Don't open ANY of them ! They're

all wrong. Just wait.

MATTHEW:

Wait for what ? i don't wanna alarm you

but we'll be the special at the

International House of Pancakes in

about five minutes !

BRUCE:

Trust me, if you open any door, you'll

be dead a whole lot sooner.

SAUNDRA:

Why should we trust you ?

BRUCE:

I made this place..... now listen to

me. I'll get out of this room, we have

bigger troubles than this....

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

ZACH:

Will he make it out ?

JOHNNY:

Of course, this one's a gimme. Just be

patient, even Ol' Bruce can't outwit

some of these traps.

INT. HALL OF DOORS, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

The distance is closing fast.

MATTHEW:

Okay, NOW I'm worried. What exactly is

on the other side of the door ?

BRUCE:

Either you'll be shot with bullets,

impaled with a large spike, or nailed

like a super model. Basically you're

f***ed any way you go.

MATTHEW:

(heavy on the sarcasm)

And that's different than this

because...... ?

As the floor gets nearer to the ceiling, Bruce opens the

air vent on the ceiling. He crawls in.

Matthew stares in disbelief and Saundra moves right

after Bruce into the tunnel.

MATTHEW:

Okay, maybe you know the answer to

this, but I'm still the trivia champion

at BW3's.

Matthew jumps into the vent.

INT. VENT, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

This is like an air conditioning vent, only a little

large to accommodate human guests on their hands and

knees or kneeling. The light comes from the floor vent

ahead.

Bruce crawls through and kicks in the vent to the next

room. He jumps down.

Saundra looks ahead of her and jumps down herself.

Matthew, a little hurt from the Foosball thing pokes his

head down into the next room. Then he falls through.

INT. HUMAN SIZE FOOSBALL FIELD, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

What we have here is a human sized Foosball playing

field.

There is astro turf on the ground, bright soccer field

lines and giant metal poles each one with either four,

three or two "players".

The "players" are giant six foot tall versions of their

three inch counter parts. They are lightly padded, but

with enough force, they could be lethal.

A five foot tall, white inflatable ball is already in

play on the field. The ball could knock the wind out of

you, but not fatally.

Bruce is waiting next to a hole that leads into the

field. Saundra and Matthew drop down from the vent to

see him waiting, gun in hand.

JOHNNY:

(V.O. from P.A.)

Come on boss man ! Don't you wanna play

? You've never beaten me on the table

up in the bar...

The wall beside them starts to close in, forcing them

into the playing field.
