Sleepy Hollow Page #3
ICHABOD'S P.O.V.: a BELLTOWER stands tall, like a mast pole
with a crow's nest basket atop. There's a man in the basket
and a huge BELL.
Ichabod ponders this as he continues. Ahead on a hill: the
INT. VAN TASSEL MANOR HOUSE, SITTING ROOM -- DAY
MANY CHILDREN, in a circle, taunt a BLINDFOLDED YOUNG WOMAN
spun round by the handsome, barrel-chested man, BROM VAN
BRUNT. A few YOUNG MEN and LADIES watch. Brom releases the
woman. Everyone quiets and avoids her searching hands.
BLINDFOLDED WOMAN
This is such a silly game.
BROM:
Be a sport and stop complaining.
The woman moves to Brom's voice. He backs away, flanked by
peers GLENN and THEODORE. Children laugh.
Ichabod enters, clearing his throat. No one notices. The
blindfolded woman keeps grasping. One LITTLE GIRL sees
Ichabod and goes to him, finger to her lips.
LITTLE GIRL:
Play along. You must.
She tugs him. Before Ichabod can protest, he is placed in
the blindfolded woman's grip.
BLINDFOLDED WOMAN
There, I have someone. Am I
finished?
LITTLE GIRL:
You have to tell who it is.
The woman touches Ichabod's face. He is uncomfortable,
affected by this caress. Brom watches jealously.
LITTLE GIRL:
At least make a guess.
BLINDFOLDED WOMAN
I don't know. Is it Brom Bones?
BROM:
Certainly not.
ICHABOD:
Excuse me, Miss...
(takes her hands)
They have a laugh at your expense.
She takes the kerchief off to reveal a stunning beauty:
KATRINA VAN TASSEL. Ichabod tries to compose himself.
KATRINA:
Forgive me, I didn't know.
ICHABOD:
I... I am looking for Baltus Van
Tassel.
BROM:
We haven't heard your name yet,
friend.
ICHABOD:
Well, unless your name is Baltus,
you should not worry over mine.
Brom grabs Ichabod's collar, pissed. Ichabod's baffled.
BROM:
You need some manners.
KATRINA:
Brom!
Brom looks at her, then reluctantly releases Ichabod.
MAN'S VOICE (o.s.)
What is this, then... ?
BALTUS VAN TASSEL, 45, has entered, a working-class
aristocrat. LADY VAN TASSEL, 40, stands behind, a mix of
home-spun wife and well-kept lady.
BALTUS:
Can I help you, sir?
Ichabod's relieved to have a proper focal point. Children
gather around Katrina and hide behind her.
ICHABOD:
I have been sent from the city
with a letter of introduction.
I am told you offer me room and
board.
Ichabod hands over papers. Baltus reads, furrows his brow.
ICHABOD:
BALTUS:
(nods, looks to Katrina)
This is not a time for frivolity,
Katrina, is it? Am I mistaken?
KATRINA:
They're only children, father.
Baltus snorts, then exits with Ichabod. The others huddle to
