The Quiet Ones Page #5

Is Evey afraid of fire?

KRISSI:
Joseph...

BRIAN:
Stop! Stop!

(SCREAMING)

Cameraman, you've scared her off!

HARRY:
We've lost it.

Do that again and you are gone.

(CREAKS)

Hello?

(CREAKS)

It's open.

Jane?

Jane?

Jane? Jane?

What's that? What have you done?

Krissi! Hurry, Krissi!

I don't know. She's

lost three more pounds.

She's painting her body with blood.

She's mutilating herself. I'm

sorry, she must see a doctor.

Do you always do this?

Do what?

Retreat when you're on the

brink of something meaningful.

I don't know, I've never

thought about it like that...

There's so much you can accomplish.

Evey and I could be friends.

I think I must have always

been naked as a child,

my clothes always off.

Do I look like a woman to you?

Every time I look in the

mirror I see a little girl.

I want to see a woman.

Are you shy?

Don't you want to touch me?

(GIGGLES)

(LAUGHS)

Let me get you out of here.

And go where?

Another asylum? More doctors?

There must be something else we

can do for you other than this.

This?

The Experiment.

(LAUGHS)

You know I can't leave.

Why not?

Joseph would be upset.

You shouldn't worry about him.

He rescued me. He saved me.

From myself and the likes of you.

Camera operators?

Men.

Silly, frustrated, violent men,

who want to touch you, but can't

or won't, so they torment you.

Not your body, but your

heart and your feelings.

And they set you on

fire to watch you burn.

Is Joseph that kind of man?

Are you?

Double it. We're on the verge.

- Here you go, Jane.

- No.

Are you sure?

Krissi. Harry.

Harry.

Brian.

- BRIAN:
You want me to...

- Yes.

BRIAN:
Okay.

You said there was a fire.

There are flames,

everywhere.

The roof, the walls...

It's so hot.

So hot.

So hot.

Evey.

Evey, it's burning!

What do you see, Jane?

Tell us.

We can't get out. We're locked in.

Who?

Who's locked in?

Burning...

Burning, burning...

Burning! Burning! Burning, Evey!

Oh! Ice, Krissi, ice!

BRIAN:
She needs a doctor.

No, no doctor.

BRIAN:
Krissi, she needs...

No doctor.

KRISSI:
I have ice!

(GRUNTS)

- Jane!

- KRISSI:
Oh, my God!

Did we get it on film?

I think I got it, whatever it is.

And what do we think it was?

Some friggin' exorcist sh*t.

It's what you always said.

She manifested her negative energy.

Whatever it was, it scared

the hell out of me.

You're scared because you can't

explain what you've seen.

So your mind falls back on the

stories that scared you as a child.

Evil spirits and such.

How do you explain it?

I'd call it "teleplasm."

- That was teleplasm? Bloody hell.

- Mm-hmm.

The next step is transference.

Once Jane's psychic energy

has found a new home,

we isolate it and get
