The Cabin in the Woods Page #5

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.

I just colored it, in fact.

No, no, no.

There's no need to huff and puff.

I'll let you come in.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Now,...

Dana.

Truth.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm just skipping ahead.

You're gonna say dare.

She's gonna dare you to

do something you don't like..

and then you'll puss out and

say that you wanted truth all along.

Really?

Okay, Jules.

Dare.

What the hell was that?

It's the cellar door.

The wind must've blown it open.

That makes what kinda sense?

What do you think is down there?

Why don't we find out?

Dana.

I dare you.

How long do I have to stay down here?

Oh, you know, just 'til morning.

Dana.

You okay?

Yeah.

Sorry, I just scared myself.

Well, you called for help.

That voids the dare.

Take your top off.

What?

I don't make up the rules.

Oh, my God.

Look at all this.

Guys..

I'm not sure it's

awesome to be down here.

Guys?

Dude, seriously,

your cousin is into some weird sh*t.

I'm pretty sure this ain't his.

Maybe it was the people

who put in that mirror thing.

Some of this stuff looks really old.

It's beautiful.

Maybe we should go back upstairs.

I dare you all to go upstairs.

Guys?

Guys, listen to this.

"April fourth.

"Father was cross with me

and said I lacked the true faith.

"I wish I could prove my devotion..

"as Judah and Matthew

proved on those travelers."

What is that?

Diary of Anna Patience Buckner, 1903.

"Mama screamed most of the night.

"I prayed that she might find faith..

"but she only stopped

when Papa cut her belly..

"and stuffed the coals in.

"Judah told me in my dream..

"that Matthew took him to the

black room, so I know he is killed.

"I want to understand the

glory of the pain like Matthew..

"but cutting the flesh makes

him have a husband's bulge..

"and I do not get like that."

- Jesus. Can we not?

- No. Go on.

- Why?

-I want to know.

"I have found it..

"in the oldest books,

the way of saving our family.

"My good arm is hacked up..

"and et,

so I hope this will be readable.

"That a believer will come

and speak this to our spirits.

"Then we will be restored

and the great pain will return."

And then there's something in Latin.

Okay, I'm drawing a line

in the f***ing sand, here.

Do not read the Latin.

What the f***?

- Dolor..

- No, no.

- Stop being a f***ing baby.

- Curt!

It's a diary.

It doesn't even mean anything.

- Dana!

- "Dolor supervivo caro.

"Dolor sublimis caro.

"Dolor ignio annivos."

We have a winner!

It's the Buckners,

ladies and gentlemen!

The Buckners pull a 'W'.

All right. That means that

congratulations go to Maintenance!

Who share the pot

with Ronald the intern.

Yeah!

That's not fair. I had zombies, too.
