The Haunting Page #6

MARY:

How'd I know it was for you?

MARROW:

(quickly)

Because it's my phone.

(back to the phone)

Yes... Mrs. Dudley, just leave the

boxes inside, thank you. See you

soon. Thank you.

He hangs up.

Marrow is trying to read the first file as he goes to his desk.

Mary shows him a huge CORKBOARD covered with photos, articles, and

various items.

MARY:

Here's how they're organized.

Groups of five, very different

personalities:
scored all over the

Kiersey Temperament Sorter just

like you asked for. And they all

score high on the insomnia charts.

MARROW:

Good.

A PHOTO OF NELL falls on the floor. Marrow scoops it up. He holds

the photo of Nell up to Mary, and look at the written notes and

studies the graphs that go with it.

MARROW (cont'd)

This is correct?

MARY:

Her mother died two months ago.

She says she really wants to do

this. I didn't know if it'd be

taking advantage...

Marrow considers the lonely image for a long moment and then looks

at the graph of her test scores.

MARROW:

(meaning the graph,

not the face)

What a beautiful profile. How do

you feel about her? What does

your intuition say?

Mary balks at his teasing.

MARY:

I put my favorites on the top.

Marrow continues to study the files.

MARROW (OC)

Okay... this one's good...

Extrovert Feeler... Okay... This

one I like, too...

We don't pay as much attention now to the cork board as to other

images on the wall. We find clinical-looking shots from Stanley

Milgram's experiments: subjects appearing to scream in response to

electrical shock.

Rows of weeping prisoners in the Stanford prison experiment.

Photos of victims crushed under the stands of a soccer stadium, the

aftermath of a riot. A picture of the Fuhrer before his mesmerized

masses. Mary opens a large envelope. She takes out a photograph

that we can't see.
