TOMOKO:
(on the phone)
Yeah, I�ve got a friend over now.
Yeah. Yeah, OK. Bye.
Tomoko stands to place the phone back in its wall cradle, and then
squats back down onto the kitchen floor.
TOMOKO:
The game�s gone into overtime, so
they�re gonna be a little late.
They burst out laughing with relief again, and are soon both
clutching their stomachs.
TOMOKO:
Jeeezus, my parents...
MASAMI:
Oh man, I�m tellin� everybody about
this tomorrow!
Tomoko shakes her head, -Don�t you dare-.
MASAMI:
I�m gonna use your bathroom. Don�t
go anywhere.
TOMOKO:
�K.
Masami walks out of the kitchen. Alone now, Tomoko stands and walks
toward the SINK, where she takes a GLASS from the DISH RACK. She
then goes to the FRIDGE and sticks her face in, looking for something
to drink. Suddenly there is the SOUND of people clapping and
cheering. Tomoko, startled, peers her head over the refrigerator
door to check for the source of the sound.
She begins walking slowly, following the sound to the DINING ROOM
adjacent the kitchen.
INT. OUISHI HOUSEHOLD - DINING ROOM - NIGHT
The lights are off, and there is no one in the room. Tomoko pauses a
moment, bathed in the garish LIGHT from the TV, which has been switched
on. Playing is the same baseball game they had on the TV upstairs; the
same game that Tomoko�s parents are currently at. The VOLUME is up
quite high.
A puzzled look on her face, Tomoko takes the REMOTE from the coffee
table and flicks the TV off. She walks back to the kitchen.
INT. OUISHI HOUSEHOLD � KITCHEN - NIGHT
A bottle of SODA that Tomoko had earlier taken from the fridge is on
the kitchen table. She picks the bottle up, pours herself a drink.
Before she can take a sip, however, the air around her becomes suddenly
charged, heavy. Her body begins to shiver as somewhere out of sight
comes a popping, crackling SOUND underscored by a kind of GROANING.
Trembling now, Tomoko spins around to see what she has already felt
lurking behind her. She draws in her breath to scream.
The screen goes white, and fades into:
CAMERA POV:
The screen is filled with the visage of a nervous-looking YOUNG GIRL.
She is being interviewed by ASAKAWA, a female reporter seated offscreen.
ASAKAWA (O.S.)
There seems to be a popular rumor
videotape.
YOUNG GIRL:
Uh-huh.
ASAKAWA (O.S.)
Have you heard what kind of video
it might be?
YOUNG GIRL:
Uh-huh.
The girl looks directly at the camera, her mouth dropping into an �O�
as she�s suddenly overcome by a kind of stage fright. She continues
staring, silently, at the camera.
