Ring

Tomoko nods, uh-huh. Masami dives forward, pinching her friend�s

cheeks and grinning wildly.

MASAMI:

So, how far did you and he get?

TOMOKO:

Oh... I can�t remember.

MASAMI:

You can�t remember, huh?

Masami laughs, then slaps Tomoko on the knee again as she remembers

the trick her friend played on her.

MASAMI:

Man, you had me freaked me out.

I--

Just at that moment, the phone RINGS. They are both suddenly,

instantly serious. Tomoko�s eyes go off in one direction and she

begins shaking her head, -No-. Masami looks over her shoulder,

following her friend�s gaze.

Tomoko is looking at the CLOCK, which currently reads 9:40.

The phone continues to ring. Tomoko is now clutching tightly onto her

friend, looking panicked.

MASAMI:

(softly)

Was it true?

Tomoko nods her head, still holding on tightly. Masami has to

forcibly disengage herself in order to stand. The phone is downstairs,

so Masami opens the bedroom DOOR and races down the STAIRS. Tomoko

calls out to her from behind.

TOMOKO:

Masami!

INT. OUISHI HOUSEHOLD � STAIRCASE - NIGHT

Tomoko and Masami run down the staircase, through the hallway towards

the kitchen. Tomoko cries out again just before they reach the kitchen.

TOMOKO:

Masami!

INT. OUISHI HOUSEHOLD � KITCHEN - NIGHT

Masami has come to a halt before a PHONE mounted on the wall. She

pauses, looking slowly at her friend, then back to the phone. She

takes it tentatively from its cradle, answers it wordlessly. The

tension continues to mount as nothing is said. Masami suddenly breaks

into a huge grin.

MASAMI:

I�ll put her on.

Still grinning, she hands the phone to Tomoko. Tomoko snatches it

quickly.

TOMOKO:

(softly)

Yes?

She is silent for a moment, then smiling widely.

TOMOKO:

Oh, man!

She is so relieved that all the strength seeps out of her and she

sinks to the kitchen floor. Masami, equally relieved, slides down

the wall and sits down next to her.
