127 Hours Page #5

KRISTI:

The Cathedral? We've got a bit

disorientated and the map isn't

great. Where is it?

ARON:

The climb's a little tricky but

it's worth it.

KRISTI / MEGAN

We climb.

8.

They all laugh.

CUT TO:

INT. CAVE. APPARENTLY SMOOTH DOME. DAY

Towards us comes Aron, upside down, like a tiny, fast spider,

talking all the time, his voice echoing.

ARON:

There's thousands of holds but you

can't see them until you're almost

upside down and then they just keep

appearing... it's a bit of a act of

faith so I'll go first... take off

as much as you dare as there's a

bit of a surprise at the other

end...

MEGAN (O.S.)

You behave Aron Ralston or we'll

tell your mother all about where

you lure girls...

ARON:

I swear I won't look but I swear

you won't care when you get out

here...

We've been moving towards him as he rushes towards us, spider

style. He's stripped to his underwear. He's lithe to say

the least. We can't see the girls or what's underneath us

but there's a feeling of the vertiginous, as much from the

weird echo and the sense of reflected light as from the scale

of the dome.

ARON (CONT'D)

... and the thing is, when you get

to the middle...

He lets go.

ARON (CONT'D)

... there aren't any more.

We spin and watch him fall into the most exquisite emerald

pool 60 feet below.

KRISTI:

OMG!

CUT TO:

INT. CAVE. DAY.

They can't see him. They can only hear the explosive crack

of man on water.

9.

MEGAN:

Are you ok? ARON!

KRISTI:

Of course he's ok. Listen to him.

Aron fills the cathedral dome with his version of a Phish

song at the top of his voice. Kristi strips to her underwear

and traverses away from Megan.
