Paranormal Activity Page #2
JOSH:
COLLIN:
She claims to be a witch, a bruja
no less.
JOSH:
I know, Collin, and could we keep
an open mind?
New angle. The phone RINGS, Athena answers.
ATHENA:
PCI. (then) Josh, it’s Barbara.
JOSH:
I’ll take it in my office.
INT. JOSH’S OFFICE/PCI --SAME
A cramped jumble of files, tapes, books, maps and photos,
Josh picking up the phone.
JOSH:
Hello?
BARBARA (V.O.)
Colonial, God, that’s so
eighties..is that olive? No, it’s
more like a moss...
JOSH:
Honey? What are we talking about?
INTERCUT:
INT. KITCHEN/JOSH’S HOUSE --CONTINUOUS
BARBARA, Josh’s wife; 30’S, attractive, suburban prim. She’s
looking out of the window, watching the house next door. A
delivery truck is in the driveway, workmen toting a new
living room set (the subject of her comments) into the house.
6.
TED STROUD and his wife, LASANDRA, supervising. They’re
attractive, black, 30’s.
BARBARA:
Ted and LaSandra, our new
neighbors? I invited them over for
lunch tomorrow. They seem nice
enough.
Barbara waves at the Strouds, they wave back. As the
dialogue continues Barb takes dishes out of the dishwasher
and wipes off spots only she can see.
JOSH:
Is that why you called?
BARBARA:
I just got off the phone with the
Vice Principal. Danni skipped
school.
JOSH:
She did?
BARBARA:
It’s the new boyfriend. Cal. He’s
taking advantage of her.
Athena appears in Josh’s doorway, gestures, let’s go.
JOSH:
I’ve got to go. We’ll talk about it
later.
They hang up but we stay with Barbara in the kitchen. ADAM
enters. 7 years old, a smart kid trying to figure out how the
world works.
ADAM:
I finished cleaning my room, Mom.
BARBARA:
Really? Why don’t we have a look?
INT. ADAM’S ROOM/JOSH’S HOUSE --MOMENTS LATER
The room is very clean but Barbara is inspecting with the
scrutiny of a Marine sergeant, Adam watching, tense.
BARBARA:
Good job, Adam. (then) Don’t you
just feel better when everything is
the way it’s supposed to be?
ADAM:
Sure. I guess.
7.
Barbara notices the bookshelf.
BARBARA:
Adam, didn’t we say you would
alphabetize your books?
ADAM:
I don’t think so.
A MINUTE LATER:
Barbara and Adam examining a 20 PAGE, HANDWRITTEN CONTRACT
titled “MY CONTRACT WITH MOM BY ADAM KEELING”.
BARBARA:
Here, Section B, item 7a. (reads)
“I will put my books away in
alphabetical order.”
ADAM:
But they look neat and everything.
BARBARA:
You agreed to the contract, Adam.
See? There’s your signature.
ADAM:
But you said I had to sign it or I
wouldn’t get my allowance.
BARBARA:
Give and take, sweetheart. We
negotiated.
On Adam, confused.
