Session 9 Page #2

GRIGGS:
Yeah, duck and cover,

my friend.

Bend over

and kiss your ass good-bye.

You know, this place was used

as a fallout shelter.

To me, that is a weird idea.

GORDON:
All these ducts are gonna

have to be wet-stripped. You see this?

GRIGGS:
Yeah.

GORDON:
That breaks off,

dust gets into the east tunnels.

You're gonna pollinate

the entire building.

GRIGGS:

Oh, Jesus, I wouldn't want that.

GORDON:
Believe me,

you don't want that to happen.

PHIL:
No, you don't.

Gordon, let me lead.

Hold on.

PHIL:
Jesus. Okay.

Yeah, this used to be a solarium.

I call it the carpet-toned room.

[ Griggs laughs ]

GRIGGS:
Well, here we are,

gentlemen, Danvers Town Hall.

Reclaiming the dark past

to build a brighter future.

Something like that. Huh?

- Crocidolite.

- Crocli... what?

- Oh, Crocidolite.

- Crocidolite?

Yeah, worst kind.

This is decaying, friable.

Uh, I'd say circa 1940s.

- Really?

- Yeah.

So, what's the deal, then?

Well, if I were you, Bill, I would...

I'd seal off the whole area.

Full poly, a couple of neg air

machines, decon showers,

the whole bit.

GRIGGS:
You know,

OSHA won't let me start

until you guys clean her up,

and I got to get construction crews

in here by Columbus Day. So...

You got a guesstimate on how long?

Roughly? Ballpark? What?

These rooms, game room, tunnels,

I would say...

Three weeks, minimum.

GRIGGS:
Three weeks.

Two. Two weeks.

- Two weeks.

- GORDON:
Two weeks.

PHIL:
Yeah.

You guys Mack and Myer for Hire?

What is it? Three or two?

Two. Two weeks.

- Two weeks.

- He's the captain, right?

You better believe it.

GRIGGS:
Well, I guess you guys

have seen enough, huh?

Need anything else?

- GORDON:
No.

- GRIGGS:
All right.

- What's all this, Bill?

- Ah, they're punks.

Little motherfuckers come in,

and they get high, boot scag,

shoot guns.

- Destructive little bastards.

- Shoot guns... at what? At what?

Well, hopefully, each other.

- Hey Bill.

- GRIGGS:
What?

What is this?

GRIGGS:
Hey, Phil,

what, are you checking in?

Don't go in there

without your bathing suit.

Oh, yeah, this is...

this is seclusion.

That's what they called the patients'

rooms back then, seclusions.

It's some part of some therapy

that was big in the '70s.

All these cut-outs and... stuff.

You know, art therapy,

creative expression.

You know, it helped them with their...

you know, like, self-esteem.

Yeah.

Helped them feel good

about themselves and more at home.

It was creepy, huh?

PHIL:
Shades of your childhood, huh?

GRIGGS:
Yeah, there's a picture

of me at summer camp

somewhere up here.

PHIL:
Huh. Wow.

What do you think was wrong

with this one?

GRIGGS:
I don't know.

Watch out for the broken glass here.
