VOICE:

(whisper)

Wake... up... Donnie.

Donnie jerks upright in his bed, awakened from a bad dream.

He looks over at his alarm clock: 12:50 a.m. His expression

is distant... confused.

EXT. SEVENTH HOLE - NIGHT (1:30 A.M.)

Donnie arrives next to the pin and stares off into the

distance.

VOICE:

Helluva night for a walk... huh,

Donnie?

Donnie stares off into the distance.

VOICE:

Tonight is very special, Donnie.

DONNIE:

What?

VOICE:

I've been watching you.

(beat)

Do you believe in God, Donnie?

Donnie doesn't answer. He holds his stomach, taking deep

breaths.

VOICE:

God loves his children, Donnie. God

loves you.

There... standing on the seventh hole is a six-foot-tall

figure dressed in a grotesque bunny suit.

Donnie stares at the Bunny nervously as a wave of nausea

overcomes him.
