JULIA:
(surprised)
GIRL:
Because they're coming for me.
A long beat. Julia sits next to her.
JULIA:
Who is?
GIRL:
The monsters.
JULIA:
What monsters?
GIRL:
There. Behind the door.
The girl points towards the pool shed. The rusted door of the shed is slightly
open. Just a crack.
JULIA:
Those
other kids don't look too scared.
GIRL:
They
should be.
Beat.
JULIA:
(playing along)
So
how come only you can see them?
THE:
GIRL LEANS FORWARD AND SPEAKS IN A HUSHED WHISPER.
GIRL:
Because
I know they're real. I used to have a little brother, but they came and
got him. Now my parents say I never had a brother before.
(pause)
Soon
... my parents won't remember me either.
Something
about the girl's tone of voice is unnerving. As if she's resigned herself to
this.
A:
slight wind HISSES through the trees. The girl rises.
GIRL:
(cont'd)
I:
gotta go. They know I'm talking about them.
JULIA:
Wait
a second.
Julia
SNAPS a picture of the girl.
JULIA:
(cont'd)
Feel
better?
The
girl stares at her.
GIRL:
Are
you scared of monsters?
JULIA:
No.
Beat.
GIRL:
I:
am.
The
girl turns and runs across the lawn.
Julia
is left sitting on the bench. She glances over at the pool shed again. Raises
her camera and focuses on the door which is still cracked open.
She
snaps the picture.
CLICK!
INT. PAUL'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
Julia
and Paul are romantically entangled as they enter the apartment. A little
drunk. Kissing and frolicking. She strips off his jacket and tie. Paul abruptly
stops.
PAUL:
Wait
a minute ...
(grabbing both sides of his shirt)
This
is a job for ...
Paul
rips his shirt wide open. Buttons popping everywhere. They both start laughing.
Joining together, he guides her towards the bathroom.
The
wind gently HISSES on the balcony. Windchimes spinning.
INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT
A:
cloud of hot steam. The soothing rush of warm water running over tanned and
naked skin.
Julia
stands underneath the shower, her body relaxing into Paul's chest, his muscular
arms encircling her body, his lips buried in her neck and shoulders. Her eyes
are shut. Her expression is calm.
INTERCUT:
- BLOND STUDENT
Standing
in the guest bedroom at Sam's house. Young and muscular. Bathed in sunlight.
The tattoo on his shoulder.
BACK:
TO JULIA:
Her
eyes still pressed closed. Smiling a little.
Water
continues rushing from the shower head, creating a HISS that eventually becomes
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY - DUSK
The
setting sun blushes crimson across the rolling waves of the Pacific. Streaking
along the highway is a RANGE ROVER, packed with luggage, headlights on.
Paul
sits behind the wheel. He's bopping and RAPPING with Sam to HIP-HOP that BLARES
from the speakers. Very energized.
