KEVIN:

It has nothing to do with--

KELLY:

I never do field work and even if

I did, Maine, to look at a tooth of

a dinosaur who bit somebody,

couldn't you dream up something--

KEVIN:

Kelly--

KELLY:

I am not going to Maine. That's

ridiculous.

CUT TO:

EXT. MAINE SKIES - DAY

A sea helicopter is sailing up against the blue sky, nothing but

Evergreens and lakes below.

INT. HELICOPTER - CONTINUOUS

Kelly with the Pilot. She looks a little white.

INT. JACKSON HOSPITAL - DAY

Kelly is walking with Keough toward the morgue.

KEOUGH:

He just came up screaming.

KELLY:

Did he say anything?

KEOUGH:

He just kinda gurgled. He was

pretty much dead.

KELLY:

And you didn't see anything?

KEOUGH:

The lake was dead calm until up he

came. The tooth is in there.

KELLY:

(seeing)

There? That's the morgue.

KEOUGH:

Yes.

KELLY:

Is the dead guy in there?

KEOUGH:

That's where they keep them.

(then)

You want me to bring the tooth out

here?

KELLY:

Um.

(bravado)

No, no. Let's go.

CLOSE ON THE TOOTH

Reveal--

INT. MORGUE - DAY

The Medical Examiner, STEVEN DANIELS, is there with Keough and

kelly. Walt's torso is covered. Kelly is examining the tooth.

KELLY:

I need to get a microscopic look at

it.

DANIELS:

Fine.

(indicating)

There you go.

KELLY:

Maybe I should see...

(the body)

KEOUGH:

(reading her)

I wouldn't.

KELLY:

I'm fine, thank you.

KEOUGH:

Have you ever seen a dead body

before, Ms. Scott?
