Lying in the deserted highway. The Driver crawls out covered
with blood. Still clutched in his hand is the car cigarette
lighter. Its red hot coil extinguishing quickly to a faint
glow.
Calmly looking down with no pity. Even closer... Water running
down his face. Closer yet... On his eye... And right into
the dilated pupil.
As we enter it -- it's like being in a dark winding tunnel
filled with the hum of dynamos and the loud rhythmic pumping
of powerful machinery.
FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE BLACKNESS
The distant echo of a Woman's voice.
KIM (O.S.)
Are you dead or alive?
INT. APARTMENT - BRIAN'S EAR - LATER THAT NIGHT
Still hearing the whine from some tremendous dynamo, we emerge
from the inside of BRIAN'S RIGHT EARDRUM, pulling back far
enough to see his face.
KIM (O.S.)
Brian?
Brian is distracted, distant, not paying attention to the
game of "Twenty Questions" that he is playing.
BRIAN:
Dead.
KIM (O.S.)
(sarcastic)
Obviously!
NEW ANGLE:
A small party in progress. Graduate student types, smoking,
drinking. The usual. Carrie and Brian stand out in this group,
their look is more stylized, their attitude less complacent.
Carrie, in particular, looks restless.
CARL:
Man or woman?
BRIAN:
Man.
Carrie tunes in and pays attention to the game.
CLAUDIA:
Real or fictional.
BRIAN:
Real.
CARRIE:
Ted Bundy.
Brian's eyes dart to Carrie. The look on his face tells
everyone she nailed it. Brian gets up to get another drink.
Several people laugh, amazed that Carrie knows Brian so well.
CLAUDIA:
What a guess!
CARL:
Doesn't count, she's disqualified.
CARRIE:
Why?
CARL:
Because you've been living with him,
and his thesis for the last year and
a half.
(beat)
He's probably been researching Ted
Bundy all week.
PETER:
Carl, you are the world's worst loser!
Carl looks over to Carrie. She gives him the finger and a
cheeky smile.
CAROL, sitting next to Carrie, asks...
CAROL:
Any word from that gallery?
CARRIE:
Not yet.
CAROL:
Nervous?
CARRIE:
...Apprehensive. Let's not forget
these are the people who banned the
Mapplethorpe show. Anyway,
California's loaded with galleries.
CAROL:
(nods toward Brian)
You mean 'Ted Bundy's' finally agreed
to leave?
Carrie watches Brian disappear into another room.
CARRIE:
...Soon as he finishes his thesis.
CAROL:
Listen, Eric's been "finishing" his
Carrie lights a cigarette. Her frustration is showing.
CARRIE:
Yeah, well Brian's got 'til the end
of the summer, then I'm outta here.
She gets up and begins weaving her way through the crowded
room. Carol follows.
