The Final Journey Page #14

60.

Mesmerized, Tato reaches out tentatively and puts his hand on

one of her breasts. He slowly massages it, fascinated.

Isha sits frozen, unsure what to do.

Tato looks at her other breast and, getting into a better

position, gently massages this one with his other hand.

After a moment, he notes the tense look on her face.

Looking at his hands on her body, Tato backs away to his spot

by the fire and hangs his head, embarrassed.

He also tries to hide his obvious erection.

Isha watches him fumble awkwardly with himself, unable to

fully hide it, and her heart goes out to him.

Tato turns away and continues eating, sitting in a strange

way to hide his manhood from her.

Nervous but determined, Isha scoots towards him.

Seeing her coming, Tato freezes. She passes right over the

hunting images he has drawn in the sand, destroying them.

Beside Tato, Isha surprises him by reaching over in a

business-like manner and putting a hand inside his pants.

Slowly, Isha starts moving her hand, masturbating him.

Tato closes his eyes, his body quaking from the unexpected

pleasure this gives him.

Isha is all business as she does her deed, biting back pain

in her hands, until Tato’s BREATHING GETS LOUDER.

She moves her hand faster until Tato arches his body and

GRUNTS.

When done, he collapses against the log.

Isha pulls her hand out, still all businesslike, and wipes it

on some straw before scooting back to her spot by the fire.

When his breathing returns to normal, Tato looks at Isha,

unsure how to react. Isha smiles politely and turns to the

fire, continuing her meal.

Tato opens his pants to check on himself.

He rubs the area, seeming unsure what just happened, and

glances at Isha before staring at the fire as well.

61.

But a smile appears on his face and grows until he is

grinning ear to ear, unable to help himself.

Isha catches his eye, and because of the innocent delight she

sees there, can’t help but smile as well.

CAVE - NIGHT

Isha sleeps. A DRAGGING NOISE stirs her and she awakens to

find the fire burning bright.

SHE HEARS A LARGE GROWL and looks at the corridor as a great

polar bear struts bowlegged into the cavern.

Scared, Isha looks at Tato sleeping besides her with his face

turned away. She shakes him, but Tato does not stir.

ISHA:

(whispers)

Tato!

The polar bear sniffs the air and gazes at Isha. It ROARS and

approaches her.

Wide-eyed, Isha shakes Tato even more.

ISHA (CONT’D)

Tato! Tatomatahun!

Tato does not stir, even as the approaching bear ROARS AGAIN.

Desperate, Isha turns Tato over.

Tato’s head is now a wolf-skull. Isha SCREAMS.

The bear towers up over her, and as it stands, Isha sees it

has two female human breasts protruding from it’s chest.

The bear opens its mouth to roar, revealing Immanna’s head

alive inside its jaws, staring in anger at Isha.

Isha’s eyes widen with shock and fear.

IMMANNA:

(commanding tone)

ISHA!

INT. CAVE - MORNING

Isha jerks awake from her dream, the cave lit bright around

her-- no sign of the bear.

62.

Tato sits up as well, spooked. He looks at her with concern.

TATO:

Isha?

Isha smiles that everything is okay, but looks worried.

Tato rubs his eyes and yawns. Looking down, they both see he

has woken up with an erection in his pants.

Tato smiles self-consciously at Isha who points towards the

corridor, telling him to go take care of his business outside

and leave her out of it.

Smiling, Tato heads for the corridor as ordered.

EXT. CAVE - CONTINUOUS

Outside, Tato steps up to the skull pyramid and urinates.

He looks down at the snow...

...NOTICES A BEAR TRACK RIGHT NEXT TO THE PYRAMID!

He glances around, eyes widening. The entire area outside the

cave is littered with bear tracks!

No sign of the bear itself, though.

Tato finishes his business and stalks around, investigating.

The bear came from the right and approached the cave until it

reached the skull pyramid.

It then walked around a bit and set off to the left.

Tato runs back inside the cave.

INT. CAVE - CONTINUOUS

Isha grabs seal meat from their melting snow pile as Tato

barges in, excited.

TATO:

Isha! Uk-thluk!

He drops to the floor and puts on his mukluks. Isha looks

concerned and he points towards the mouth of the cave.

TATO (CONT’D)

Tracks, outside!

63.

Tato makes walking motions in the sand beneath his feet.

Isha does not like the enthusiastic way he is dressing and

points at his mukluks with a questioning look.

Tato stands proudly.

TATO (CONT’D)

Tatomatahun hunt Uk-thluk!

Tato makes a spear-throwing motion to emphasize his meaning.

Isha shakes her head, scared.

ISHA:

(choppy Attopa)

Tato, no! No, hunt Uk-thluk!

Tato is confused. He nods his head.

TATO:

Tatomatahun hunt Uk-thluk.

Tatomatahun become man.

ISHA:

No...

Isha looks around in a panic but doesn’t seem to know what

she can say or do to stop him.

ISHA (CONT’D)

Uk-thluk...

She makes a RIPPING SOUND and a claw motion across her neck.

Tato shakes his head, angry.

TATO:

No! Tatomatahun kill Uk-thluk!

He makes a stabbing motion for emphasis.

ISHA:

(choppy Attopa)

No! Uk-thluk kill Tatomatahun!

Tato stares at Isha in disbelief. But his anger dissipates

into humor at her concern.

He grabs his fox-skull stick and holds it up with confidence.

TATO:

Tatomatahun kill Uk-thluk.

64.

Isha turns to the fire looking worried and refusing to make

eye-contact as she busies herself with rekindling a flame.

Tato shakes his head and continues dressing for his hunt. He

notices Isha fighting back tears.

Dressed, knife and fox-skull stuck in his belt, two spears in

hand, Tato packs some meat from their snow-pile.

Putting on his pack, he steps before Isha who avoids his gaze

as she struggles with the fire.

A tear falls from one eye, rolling down her cheek.

Tato lifts it with a finger and holds it before her.

TATO (CONT’D)

Isha cry... because Isha afraid Uk

thluk kill Tatomatahun?

He makes a slashing motion across his throat on “kill.”

Isha wipes her face and looks at him. She shakes her head.

ISHA:

(choppy Attopa)

Isha cry...

She points at the tear on his finger.

ISHA (CONT’D)

(choppy Attopa)

...because Tatomatahun kill Ukthluk.

Isha turns away and busies herself again with the fire.

Unsure what to make of her words, Tato walks slowly to the

corridor leading out of the cave.

Isha glances at him leaving, wrestling with something.

When almost out of sight:

ISHA (CONT’D)

Tato.

Tato stares back at her.

Isha nods with encouragement.

ISHA (CONT’D)

Good luck.

65.

She focuses back on the fire which she finally gets going.

Tato returns and grabs her gently by the shoulders.

When she looks at him, he presses his forehead against hers

and rubs her nose with his in an “Eskimo kiss.”

Isha makes a sad smile and Tato pulls back, also smiling.

They regard one another, then Tato makes a sweeping turn and
