SAUNDRA:

Let's go.

They go through the door.

INT. MINIATURE MANHATTAN, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

This is the room that has a 1/100th scale of Manhattan

Island. It's night and storming. There are little

robotic cars that honk horns and even little voices of

cab drivers cursing at them.

SAUNDRA:

This is cute.

BRUCE:

Yeah, real cute. The storm is fake, but

the lightening is real.

SAUNDRA:

Okay Mr Inventor, how do we avoid it ?

BRUCE:

You don't. It's random, there no trick.

SAUNDRA:

Great...

They start to move through the city.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

ZACH:

Okay, I have five that says THIS is it

for them.

JOHNNY:

I think I'll see hat action.

INT. MINIATURE MANHATTAN, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Bruce move fast in between the buildings. Saundra

follows behind. Lightening is striking at 7 or 8 second

bursts throughout. The voices of the cabs and cars is

heard.

SAUNDRA:

Where are we going ?

BRUCE:

The Brooklyn Bridge.

They run in between the buildings. A Bolt hits right

between them. There is even fake thunder sounds. The

keep trucking forward. Bruce trips on a car and hits the

ground. Saundra tugs at his hand.

SAUNDRA:

Get Up ! Keep coming. Come On !

Bruce gets up and goes. They are holding hands as they

push onward.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

JOHNNY:

Isn't that touching.

He presses a button.

JOHNNY:

(into microphone)

Isn't that cute !

On the moniter we see a bolt hit right on Bruce. Saundra

loses her grip on his hand. He goes down.

INT. MINIATURE MANHATTAN, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Saundra goes back for Bruce.

SAUNDRA:

Come on, get up ! You can make it.

Bruce starts to stir. It wasn't a direct hit, but more

than a small shock. His arm is steaming from the singe.

BRUCE:

Okay, just stop yelling.

He groggily gets up.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

ZACH:

Give me my five back.

INT. MINIATURE MANHATTAN, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Bruce and Saundra make it to the Brooklyn Bridge. They

go into the half height exit door that's there.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

Zach is holding onto his five dollar bill.

ZACH:

So what's next ? No one's ever made it

this far before.

JOHNNY:

He's got two chices.either it's the

Bowling Alley from Hell or Alice in

Murderland. See this ? Even Bruce knows

that no one can make it out of here in

one piece.

He fingers a moniter. There is a map that has the entire

maze listed on the screen next to it.

JOHNNY:

Being the fair guy that he is, Bruce

designed this place so that there is

one solution to every room. If you can

make it through all thirty rooms, you

live. No one's made it past seven till

now.

INT. RACETRACK, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew is still driving like a madman. He looks very

sleepy.

Another automated car bumps into him from behind, giving

him a jolt.

ANNOUNCER:

(over P.A.)

You must come in first place to move on

!

MATTHEW:

Jesus, my legs are asleep. I'll never

be able to win this sh*t.

More of the other miniature cars race past him.

MATTHEW:

I should have played more Nintendo

racing games.

He floors it and gets into the race again.

INT. ALICE IN MURDERLAND, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

This is a room with astro turf for grass and three giant

fake trees. There's a long dining table set up with

plates and desert.

This room looks like movie set and the paper machete

decorations on the wall add to it.

Bruce & Saundra enter. There is a murmuring of deep

voices. The lights brighten on the trees. They begin to

come to life & speak. The Trees have faces & the speak

like the Trees from the Wizard of Oz.

TREE #1

Hey buddy, you got a light ?

TREE#2

You can't smoke a**hole, you'll catch

fire !

TREE #3

Awe, let him smoke, what I need is a

little piece of ass !

Saundra laughs at the arguement that the trees are

having. Bruce starts to walk toward the table.

TREE#2

What are you going to do ? Leaf f***

him ? You've got no genitalia ! You Are

A Tree ! Get it ?

TREE #1

You just stop that or I'll......

At this point a gas is emitted from the tree.

TREE#2

Oh God ! That smells downright rank !
