Bruce waits for a moment.. then starts to run through

the field. Saundra goes next, then Matthew follows.

Once on the field, Matthew realizes what he's in.

MATTHEW:

(in comedic shock)

You've got to be kidding me !

At that moment, Matthew is swiped by one of the

cushioned, human sized Foosball players. He gets the

wind knocked out of him.

Further ahead, Bruce ducks and dodges the players with

some ease, but gets hit unexpectedly by the five foot

tall ball. He looses his balance and goes down.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

On the monitor, we get a bird's eye view of the whole

field, as if it were a video game.

JOHNNY:

That's the way ! Look at her go !

On the monitor, we see Saundra, bob and weave her way

through to near the end without getting hit.

INT. LIFE SIZE FOOSBALL FIELD, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Saundra makes it to the end and waits by the exit.

Bruce gets up, only to get knocked over by a player.

Bruce gets up again and sees the ball rolling right to

him.

He pulls out the pistol and shoots the ball and the air

decompresses. He then makes his way to the exit.

He starts to leave.

SAUNDRA:

What about Matt ?

BRUCE:

Leave him, he's dead.

SAUNDRA:

No !

Saundra runs back out to the field. She makes her way to

Matthew. He's trying to stand but gets knocked over

every time by a player.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

Johnny is playing the game controls laughing.

INT. HUMAN SIZED FOOSBALL FIELD, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Saundra gets to Matthew and helps him up. Together they

run to the exit. They duck together and weave together.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

Johnny hits the controls

JOHNNY:

F*** ! That's not fair ! She cheated !

INT. HUMAN SIZED FOOSBALL FIELD, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Saundra makes it to the exit with Matthew in tow.

MATTHEW:

Hey buddy, thanks for the help back

there !

BRUCE:

I don't help criminals.

Bruce goes through the door that now opens.

SAUNDRA:

Criminals ?

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

ZACH:

What's next ?

JOHNNY:

I have a turn for the worse for the

team !

ZACH:

I do believe Mr. McCray will be most

pleased with the tape of this one.

INT. LINE POLES, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

This is a maze of poles, like the ones used for

directing people to a ride at a real amusement park.

There are warped pictures of the other rides & Scraps

the Dog painted on the walls. The ceiling is fairly low

in this room.

SAUNDRA:

Hey Mr. Personality ! Stop for a

second.

Bruce keeps on walking.

SAUNDRA:

I'm talking to you a**hole !

MATTHEW:

Maybe all that testosterone plugs his

ears.

Matthew starts to giggle at his own joke, only to find

BRUCE dead in his face.

BRUCE:

Give me one good reason why I don't

plug you right here, right now ?

(Bruce hold the gun to

Matthew's nose)

MATTHEW:

Because of my charming personality ?

Bruce c*cks the hammer back. Saundra pushes the gun up

and gets in BRUCE's face.

SAUNDRA:

Why don't you tell us what the f*** is

going on ?

BRUCE:

Why should I ?

SAUNDRA:

You said we were criminals, what did

you mean ?

BRUCE:

You're both embezzling. I saw the

records.

SAUNDRA:

Embezzling ? I'm not embezzling !

BRUCE:

Maybe not, but he is and f***ing him

makes you an accessory. He stole your

passwords.

SAUNDRA:

I'm not f***ing him..

MATTHEW:

(whining a little)

You don't have to sound so emphatic.

SAUNDRA:

We just having our first date when you

showed up.

BRUCE:

Yeah, right.

Bruce keeps on walking through the lines.

BRUCE:

I'd hurry it up, love birds. You don't

want to see what happens when you don't

keep the lines moving.

As he says this, spikes come out of the poles and the

back of the line begins to close in. The whole room is

closing in on them - there is no backtracking here.

Saundra frustrated, moves ahead. Matthew sees the spikes

closing in slowly and spares no time catching up.

INT. DEMON WATER RIDE, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

The three of them come into the start of the ride. There

is a log ride boat awaiting them in the small tunnel of

water. It leads to the left and there is an obvious drop

right away.

The room has a Bayou motif complete with fake wooden

sheds and boat houses. The light is green and simulates

a Louisiana mystic evening.
