The Cabin in the Woods Page #4

Synopsis: Five teenagers head off for a weekend at a secluded cabin in the woods. They arrive to find they are quite isolated with no means of communicating with the outside world. When the cellar door flings itself open, they of course go down to investigate. They find an odd assortment of relics and curios, but when one of the women, Dana, reads from a book, she awakens a family of deadly zombie killers. However, there's far more going on than meets the eye.

Oh, come on. - No you guys,

I'm serious. Right there.

There! There!

God, looks just like my girlfriend!

Oh, my God!

There's something else in the lake!

It's a gorgeous man!

- I'm gonna kill you!

Don't kill the gorgeous man!

We're endangered!

All right. Last chance.

It's post time. Dig deep, people.

Betting windows are closing. Okay.

Okay, who's still out?

Let's see. We got engineering,

we got R & D, and we got electrical.

Did you see who they picked?

They're practically

giving their money away.

You should talk, Aquaman.

What do you mean?

- Ah, nothing.

Okay, all right.

I'm not even sure

we have one of these.

Zoology swears we do.

They'd know. Okay. All right, people.

Hey, what do you got?

No, they've already been picked.

What? No. Who took them?

Maintenance.

Maintenance?

They pick the same thing every year.

What do you want from me?

If they were creative,

they wouldn't be in maintenance.

You're gonna have to split

this if you win. You wanna switch?

I don't know, I don't know.

What do you think?

More than anything,

I just want this moment to end.

Not betting?

Not for me. Thanks.

Seems a little harsh, doesn't it?

It's just people letting off steam.

This job isn't easy,

however those clowns may behave.

Does the director.

Do they know about this downstairs?

The director doesn't

care about this stuff.

As long as everything

goes smoothly upstairs..

as long as the kids

do as they're told.

But then it's fixed.

No, no, no.

How can you wager on this

when you control the outcome?

No, we just get 'em in the cellar.

They take it from there.

No, they have to make the

choice of their own free will.

Otherwise the system doesn't work.

It's like the harbinger.

It's this creepy old f***, practically

wears a sign, "You will die."

Why do we put him there? The system.

They have to choose to ignore him..

and they have to choose

what happens in the cellar.

Yeah, we rig the game

as much as we need to..

but in the end,

they don't transgress..

hey can't be punished.

So what's it gonna be, Truman?

You in? Window's closing.

I'm fine.

Okay.

That's it, gang!

The board is locked!

Oh, let's get this party started!

Let's get this party started!

There you go.

Okay, my turn.

Jules.

Truth or dare?

Let's go dare.

All right.

I dare you to make out with..

Please say "Dana," please say "Dana."

That moose, over there.

Marty..

have you ever seen a moose before?

Whatever that mysterious beast is.

That's a wolf.

I'm living in a womb of reefer,

leave me alone.

Jules..

I dare you to make out with that wolf.

No problem.

Who?

Me?

Well, yes, I am new in town.

How did you know?

Oh, my God.

That is so sweet of you to say.
