Paranormal Activity Page #6

Jim and Ellen move off.

COLLIN:

I’ll do a blood panel and full workup

on the worms.

ATHENA:

How come Delila is the only one

that got them?

JOSH:

Gut feeling? She was deliberately

infected. (to Collin) Make up a

separate worm sample for me. I’ll

get started at home, see if I can

identify them.

15.

ATHENA:

You sure you want to take those

things into your house?

COLLIN:

(patronizing) Worms are coldblooded.

On ice they’ll be inert.

INT. CAMRY --THAT EVENING

Josh driving, A LITTLE RED COOLER on the seat beside him.

JOSH (V.O.)

Spending Halloween night at the

cemetery was one of those things,

it seemed like a good idea at the

time.

INT. (FLASHBACK) LIVING ROOM/APARTMENT --NIGHT

Young Josh seeing Rachel to the door.

RACHEL:

You can still change your mind.

Mrs. Webberly will take you trick

or treating with her kids.

YOUNG JOSH:

No thanks. I’ll be okay.

RESUME SCENE:

JOSH (V.O.)

I’ll always wonder how my life

would have been different if I’d

gone trick or treating with Mrs.

Webberly.

Josh arrives at his house, turns in the driveway.

INT. LIVING ROOM/STROUDS HOUSE --CONTINUOUS

Angle on a SHOULDER HOLSTER WITH A GUN IT, hanging over a

chair, an LAPD DETECTIVE’S GOLD SHIELD CLIPPED TO THE

HOLSTER.

TED (O.S.)

I had a conversation with Bob

Fletcher, insurance guy, lives

three houses down?

New angle:
LaSandra moving her new sofa. Ted at the window,

watching Josh get out of the car.

16.

TED:

He told me Josh calls himself a

paranormal consultant. Whatever

that is.

LASANDRA:

Really? His wife told me he was a

scientist. (beat) Are you going to

help me move this sofa?

TED:

(helping her) I worked a long time

so I could afford this house, so I

could get away from noise and

pollution and the traffic and most

of all? The nutcases.

LASANDRA:

Ted -

TED:

So here I am, in my dream house,

mortgaged to the hilt and who is my

next door neighbor? A nutcase!

LASANDRA:

You don’t know that, Ted. You don’t

know that at all. Now we’re going

over there for lunch tomorrow and

you’re going to behave yourself,

you understand?

INT. KITCHEN/JOSH’S HOUSE --MOMENTS LATER

Josh crosses, puts the red cooler in the fridge.

JOSH (V.O.)

You’d think it would be a problem,

coming home after a day at work,

making the transition from the

strange and supernatural to the

mundane routines of normal life.

Adam appears.

ADAM:

Mom and I have a disagreement over

certain implied terms and

exclusionary clauses. You may be

asked to mediate.

JOSH (V.O)

Actually, I have trouble telling

the difference.

17.
