The Quiet Ones Page #2

in this house, Brian.

It's a destructive energy

in a constructive space.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

(GROANS)

Not again.

Harry, will you turn the

music off upstairs?

COUPLAND:
Well, thank you

and good luck. I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

BRIAN:
You just clap.

COUPLAND:
Hello, Jane. We've

brought something for you.

You can put all your bad thoughts

and negative energy

into the doll, Jane.

Get rid of them, get

rid of them for good.

Evey doesn't look like this.

She's all wrong.

Why don't you describe

her to me, hmm?

This doll's dead,

inside.

That's what my parents

used to say about my eyes.

They weren't my real parents.

With each new family,

they'd sit me down,

ever so nice,

but I knew soon enough

that they'd hate me too.

COUPLAND:
That must have

been very painful for you.

I scared them, all of them.

COUPLAND:
You're not possessed,

Jane. You're just unwell.

I just want to sleep,

forever.

(BELL TOLLING)

BRIAN:
Aren't you concerned that

Jane Harper will take her own life?

That's why we keep her under

surveillance and medicated.

So, why are you working on

this experiment, Harry?

Me?

Scientific pursuit.

The equipment we're using is

cutting edge, engineer's dream.

(JANE SCREAMING)

Help me!

It's 95 over 70.

BRIAN:

So, how did you get into this?

Initially my field was

abnormal psychology,

which, despite the

frightening title,

merely indicates the study of

behavior outside the norm.

You run into a lot of charlatans, con

artists, and mental deficients, Brian,

and I disproved them all.

Then, there was David Q.

Harry, lights.

DAVID Q:
Where are you, Mr. Gregor?

COUPLAND:
I think David used

the character of Mr. Gregor

to explain the telekinetic

havoc his mind was wreaking.

KRISSI:
The same way Jane

is mentally sculpting Evey?

COUPLAND:
Exactly.

COUPLAND:
Why is Mr. Gregor

doing these things, David?

I don't know. Mother

says he's evil.

COUPLAND:
What do you think he is?

He's bad. So am I!

COUPLAND:
Mr. Gregor is make-believe!

Your mind is creating him.

You can get rid of him.

I can help you!

(SCREAMING)

Mr. Gregor was a character

from a bedtime story

David's father used to tell him.

His parents must feel so guilty.

What happened to David Q.?

He was improving with my

help, but his mother,

a religious woman,

terminated the sessions.

We lost touch.

I've heard he's living a

relatively normal life somewhere.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Hello, Joseph.

Gentlemen.

Why do I get the impression this

is about to become unpleasant?

We have to move Jane.

- What?

- Why?

They've pulled the funding

for the experiment.

Bloody cowards!

Ah, they're dead already anyway.

Krissi, Harry...
