    "## Overview\n",
    "The purpose of this notebook is to investigate, compare, and combine methodologies in order to determine whether a movie passes the Bechdel Test using its script and metadata gathered from various APIs. \n",
    "\n",
    "![The Bechdel test is credited to Liz Wallace as well as the writings of Virginia Woolf, and was first publicized in this 1985 comic strip by Alison Bechdel.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bf/Dykes_to_Watch_Out_For_%28Bechdel_test_origin%29.jpg) \n",
    "\n",
    "The test, used to measure women's representation in film and other fiction, requires two female characters to have a conversation about something other than a male character in order to 'pass' the test. ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel_test)) \n",
    "\n",
    "It's worth noting that while the Bechdel Test can be a good way to survey the media landscape, it certainly doesn't tell the whole story of gender representation, especially on a film-by-film basis. A conversation can include or be about men and also represent real, complex female characters, while a short, throwaway scene having no effect on the plot can be enough to 'pass' the test. This is important because a model is only as good as its data. \n",
    "\n",
    "In other words, **no model trained to classify movie scripts, using Bechdel Test ratings as targets, can provide more insight on gender representation in media than the Bechdel Test itself.**"

The API documentation asks that the 'getAllMovies' method be used sparingly, which is why the following code is commented out, but it can be used to recreate the csv file imported below. \n",
    "\n",
    "Creating a dataset of movie scripts will prove much more difficult than a single API call, and manually labeling data by watching movies (or reading their scripts) would be prohibitively time consuming. **Therefore, the best approach to creating a full, labeled dataset for this project is to begin with this labeled Bechdel Test data, and then attempt to find and attach a script for as many records as possible.**"

However, it's only a few minutes long, and in 1899 when it was released, it's special effects and production were considered to be state-of-the-art."

    "## Data: Scripts\n",
    "The first dataset of movie scripts comes from Aveek Saha's [Movie Script Database](https://github.com/Aveek-Saha/Movie-Script-Database). The github repository for that project features a very comprehensive [readme](https://github.com/Aveek-Saha/Movie-Script-Database?tab=readme-ov-file) file with information on how to recreate the data. It runs into a few of errors on my machine- many movie scripts are no longer available at the given link, for example, and of the 3500+ unprocessed scripts downloaded by the first python script, only 229 are fully parsed by the end of the process.\n",
    "\n",
    "The IMDb API on which this program is built has apparently been deprecated, so the movies are only labeled with the TMDb ID (and only in some cases). Those IDs can be found in the metadata, and conveniently, TMDb's API has a 'Find By ID' method that can be used to return movies based on an external ID such as an IMDb ID. Using this method, TMDb IDs can be appended to the target dataset as the first step in linking movie scripts to those labeled targets. This method will also return some more metadata about the movie.\n",
    "\n",
    "For the next bit of code to work, Saha's Movie Script Database must be in the same folder as this notebook. The code is commented out because it cannot be linked programatically to the records in the Bechdel dataset. While this makes it a less appealing choice for an exploratory dataset, it may yet prove useful, especially by potentially leveraging LLMs. "

Jane Eyre is running across a meadow, flushed\\r\\n          and breathless; the hem of her plain, black dress soaked\\r\\n          with dew. She carries a shawl and has a small bag of\\r\\n          belongings over her shoulder.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          She trips, falls to her knees; looks back. Expressive eyes,\\r\\n          open features. She is desperate. We see the house she is\\r\\n          running from; a Jacobean battlemented mansion.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          Her need to escape is so great that she crawls forward\\r\\n          until she is able to raise herself to her feet. She runs.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          She reaches an antique stile by a brook. She lifts herself\\r\\n          on to it. She lands on the road. And runs.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n                         \\r\\n<b>          I/E. DAY. A ROADSIDE/COACH.\\r\\n</b>                         \\r\\n          The sun is higher in the sky. Jane exhausted, now running\\r\\n          down a main road. Her spirts lift at the sight of an\\r\\n          approaching coach. She flags it down.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          Jane empties her purse into the driver's hand. He looks at\\r\\n          her money then suspiciously back at her. A terse nod\\r\\n          indicates she can get in.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n<b>                          CUT TO:\\r\\n</b>                         \\r\\n          Jane sinks into a dark corner. Her fellow passengers look\\r\\n          shocked by her dishevelled appearance at such an early\\r\\n          hour. She undertakes a tremendous effort not to betray her\\r\\n          emotional state. She doesn't sob, she doesn't howl -\\r\\n          although her breathing threatens to. Slowly, unable to bear\\r\\n          the day, she closes her eyes.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n                         \\r\\n<b>          EXT. EVENING.

In each direction there is open\\r\\n          moorland for as far as the eye can see. The driver sets off\\r\\n          at a good pace - glad to be rid of such a passenger. Jane\\r\\n          puts her hand to her side for her bag of belongings. It is\\r\\n          not there.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          She runs as fast as she can after the coach. It is receding\\r\\n          towards the horizon. She comes to a halt, objectless, lost,\\r\\n          alone. She pulls her knitted shawl around her.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          She leaves the road and sets off across the moor, into the\\r\\n          gathering dark.\\r\\n           Jane Eyre adapted by Moira Buffini March 2008 2.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n                         \\r\\n<b>          EXT.

She walks through them.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          She finds herself in front of a decrepit Elizabethan manor\\r\\n          house; no garden, just a sweeping semi circle of meadow\\r\\n          grass, which someone has cut at with a scythe. Jane stops.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          Standing on the threshold is Edward Fairfax Rochester. He\\r\\n          is in his shirtsleeves. He stands strong, stalwart,\\r\\n          brooding. His hair is still raven black. He is looking\\r\\n          sightlessly around his domain, with the concentration of a\\r\\n          hawk. His strength is undiminished.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          He walks fifteen paces from the house. It brings him into\\r\\n          the middle of the semicircle of grass. He is close enough\\r\\n          for Jane to see his scarred eyes. She walks towards him,\\r\\n          silent.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          A few drops of rain begin to fall. Rochester puts out his\\r\\n          right hand to feel them. He raises his face up to the sky\\r\\n          as if he is looking for something from there. He is\\r\\n          absolutely still; his expression, serene.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          Jane is very close. She steps on a twig. It breaks with a\\r\\n          loud crack, shattering the silence. Rochester is\\r\\n          immediately on guard, his expression turning wary.\\r\\n          Jane Eyre adapted by Moira Buffini March 2008 118.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n                         \\r\\n          He suddenly swipes the air with his left arm; the ruin of\\r\\n          it passing an inch from her face. Jane steps back.\\r\\n          Rochester swipes again. She holds her breath.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          He seems satisfied at last that nothing is there. He turns\\r\\n          and walks fifteen paces back to the house. He disappears\\r\\n          into the dark interior.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n          Jane starts to breathe again.\\r\\n                         \\r\\n                         \\r\\n<b>          EXT.

On\\r\\n     the floor are large gratings covering an exhaust and\\r\\n     filtering system. Tons of spice gas are being\\r\\n     converted into the clouds of gas along a wall of\\r\\n     machinery. From within a dark metal tunnel comes a\\r\\n     Guild Navigator. He exits the tunnel and swims\\r\\n     through the gas 1,000 feet to a six-dimensional\\r\\n     layered miniature replica of the entire Universe.\\r\\n     The Navigator emits a long piece of light from his\\r\\n     mouth which travels to one edge of the Universe and\\r\\n     changes into a likeness of the planet Caladan. The\\r\\n     Navigator turns and emits another piece of light\\r\\n     which travels to the opposite side of the Universe.\\r\\n     It changes into a likeness of Arrakis. The Navigator\\r\\n     begins to put his slender fingers in amongst the\\r\\n     stars and he emits SOUNDS and bursts of light into\\r\\n     the mass of stars and galaxies. The Universe begins\\r\\n     to vibrate and elongate, then to curve. Electrical\\r\\n     lightening traverses from Caladan to Arrakis as the\\r\\n     Universe bends into a U-shape. Arrakis submerges\\r\\n     deep into the light. The navigator swims to the\\r\\n     point where Arrakis disappeared. He begins to pull\\r\\n     and tear a hole in the Universe. Stars like sparks\\r\\n     and SOUNDS and rings of light appear, along with a\\r\\n     roaring WIND. The Navigator swims deep into this\\r\\n     hole through the rings of light. The Navigator\\r\\n     becomes more and more transparent, until he's lost\\r\\n     in darkness. The sounds fade.\\r\\n<b>--\\r\\n</b>58. through 60.     (Deleted)\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>60A. EXT.

Paul slowly gets to his\\r\\n     feet, breathing heavily.  Anger still seething in\\r\\n     him, Paul issues a SOUND -- a loud, horrible,\\r\\n     powerful sound, and Feyd's internal organs rupture\\r\\n     and the stone floor under him cracks open.

MUSEUM OF MODERN ART - DAY (DREAM SEQUENCE IN GRAINY BLACK\\r\\n</b><b>AND WHITE)\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nFade out music.\\r\\n\\r\\nSilence.\\r\\n\\r\\nA well-dressed black BOY and his MOTHER walk through several\\r\\ngalleries.\\r\\n\\r\\nThey stand before Picasso's \"Guernica,\" holding hands.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe mother is disturbed. Crying.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe boy looks up, confused and frightened, concerned to see his\\r\\nmother crying in public. She looks at him tenderly.\\r\\n\\r\\nHer brow furrows. She stops crying. She stares just above his\\r\\neyes.\\r\\n\\r\\nSomething's happening: she looks with wonder at the top of his\\r\\nhead... his eyes roll upward, trying to see - it's a crown!\\r\\n\\r\\nHe raises his hands. He touches it.\\r\\n\\r\\nA beam of light illuminates the crown, casting its glow on his\\r\\nmother's face.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe beam gets whiter, the rest of the screen gets black.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT. CARDBOARD BOX\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nSilence. In darkness, we hear a VOICE - imbued with a sense of\\r\\nits own history:\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>                      VOICE (O.S.)\\r\\n</b>           Everybody wants to get on the Van Gogh\\r\\n           boat. There's no trip so horrible that\\r\\n           someone won't take it. The idea of the\\r\\n           unrecognized genius slaving away in a\\r\\n           garret is a deliciously foolish one. We\\r\\n           must credit the life of Vincent Van Gogh\\r\\n           for really sending this myth into orbit.\\r\\n           How many pictures did he sell? One? He\\r\\n           couldn't give them away. We are so ashamed\\r\\n           of his life that the rest of art history\\r\\n           will be retribution for Van Gogh's neglect.\\r\\n           No one wants to be part of a generation\\r\\n           that ignores another Van Gogh.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe beam of light shines through a small hole. It falls upon a\\r\\nsleeping, dreaming, delighted face. It belongs to JEAN MICHEL\\r\\n<b>BASQUIAT.\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nOUTDOOR, DAYTIME SOUNDS filter in.\\r\\n<b>\\r\\n</b>Hearing the voice, Jean frowns at being woken up.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.

One's public\\r\\n            appearance is absolute.\\r\\n\\r\\nBeyond him, a HAND gropes its way out of the box.

I am a witness.\\r\\n\\r\\nA HEAD appears from the box. It's Jean's.\\r\\n\\r\\nJean sees the start of a crisp, colorful autumn day. The urban\\r\\npark around him is alive with a typically full range of the good\\r\\nand bad in life. He eases himself out of the oversize box in\\r\\nwhich he has spent the night. There's something about the way\\r\\nthat he stands while waking up that suggests he's almost\\r\\nsurprised at his own body, the adultness of his limbs - just a\\r\\nsubtle hint of him coming out of a dream.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe squints in the sunlight. He has a soft, gentle, Haitian face.\\r\\nHis hair is pulled tight to his head. He wears two pairs of blue\\r\\njeans (one cut like chaps over the other) a paint-covered\\r\\nWesleyan University T-shirt, and the inside lining of an\\r\\novercoat. His appearance is unruly, but it's deliberate. He's\\r\\nstylish.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe shakes himself off and collects his stuff, which includes: a\\r\\nsmall book of Pontormo drawings, a can of black spray paint. and\\r\\na cigar box made into a loudspeaker with pencil holes and masking\\r\\ntape.\\r\\n\\r\\nJean walks out of the park and looks up past the buildings at the\\r\\nsky:\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>SUPERIMPOSED IN THE SKY - STOCK FOOTAGE OF A HAWAIIAN SURFER\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nJean sees the surfer, 'riding the nose' in glistening, shimmering\\r\\n<b>\\r\\n</b>sunlight.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>                                                  DISSOLVE TO:\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.

She continues to work.\\r\\n\\r\\nStill staring at her, he sits down at a table. He pours maple\\r\\nsyrup onto the table.

He doesn't like what he sees.\\r\\n\\r\\nJean smears the syrup thinly, so it doesn't erase itself. He\\r\\ndraws a picture of Gina, using his fingers and the silverware,\\r\\nrendering her last expression strikingly with a few quick lines.\\r\\n\\r\\nA GAUNT YOUNG MAN saunters up to Jean's table.

An evil warlock kidnapped him,\\r\\n           locked him in a cell in a huge tower and\\r\\n           took away his voice. There was a window\\r\\n           made of bars. The prince would smash his\\r\\n           head against the bars hoping that someone\\r\\n           would hear the sound and find him. The\\r\\n           crown made the most beautiful sound that\\r\\n           anyone ever heard. You could hear the\\r\\n           ringing for miles. It was so beautiful,\\r\\n           that people wanted to grab the air. They\\r\\n           never found the prince. He never got out of\\r\\n           the room.

Below is neon and the icy\\r\\n        thrust of search lights rotating on the corner of Hollywood\\r\\n        and Vine.\\r\\n\\r\\n        We continue west, then quickly north.\\r\\n\\r\\n        There is the momentary appearance of the moonlit HOLLYWOOD\\r\\n        sign as we pass the blinking red beacon of the Capital\\r\\n        Records building and drop into Franklin avenue and over the\\r\\n<b>        101.\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n        Architectural remnants of Hollywood's past whip up.  We are\\r\\n        heading east at treetop level.  A warm glow in the distance\\r\\n        quickly grows into a modest commercial strip which includes\\r\\n        cafes, bookstores, and a theater.\\r\\n\\r\\n        We drop to eye level as we spy through the plate glass\\r\\n        showcase window of the \"Bourgeois Pig\" coffeehouse, which\\r\\n        holds the translucent reflection of the full moon.\\r\\n\\r\\n        A cigarette wedged between knuckles smoulders.  MIKE takes\\r\\n        the last drag with great effort, then crushes it out.  He\\r\\n        sits in the window sprawled across a red velvet couch that\\r\\n        once perfectly complemented a faux spanish foyer.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>                                                         MATCH CUT TO:\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>   2    EXT.  \"BOURGEOIS PIG\" COFFEEHOUSE - COUCHES AND TABLE IN FRONT   2\\r\\n</b><b>        WINDOW - NIGHT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n        ROB sits down next to Mike, pouring himself some tea.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>                             MIKE\\r\\n</b>                   And what if I don't want to give up on\\r\\n                   her?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>                             ROB\\r\\n</b>                   You don't call.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>                             MIKE\\r\\n</b>                   But you said I shouldn't call if I\\r\\n                   <b>wanted</b> to give up on her.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>                             ROB\\r\\n</b>                   Right.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>                             MIKE\\r\\n</b>                   So I don't call either way.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>                             ROB\\r\\n</b>                   Right.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>                             MIKE\\r\\n</b>                   So what's the difference?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>                             ROB\\r\\n</b>                   The only difference between giving up and\\r\\n                   not giving up is if you take her back\\r\\n                   when she wants to come back.  See, you\\r\\n                   can't do anything to make her want to\\r\\n                   come back.

King\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>FADE IN ON\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nthat most persistent summer SOUND: crickets in high grass--\\r\\nree-ree-ree-ree... This in dark which slowly\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\tDISSOLVES TO:\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>EXT.  A GRAVE MARKER  SUMMER DAY\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt's a plywood cross leaning aslant. Written on the crossarm in \\r\\nblack paint which has faded: SMUCKY  HE WAS OBEDIENT. The letters \\r\\nare faded. They are also straggling and ill-formed--the work of a \\r\\nchild.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>MAIN TITLES BEGIN.\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>EXT.  ANOTHER GRAVE MARKER\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nA child's printing again, this time on a chunk of warped crating: \\r\\n<b>BIFFER BIFFER A HELLUVA SNIFFER UNTIL HE DIED HE MADE US RICHER  \\r\\n</b><b>1971-1974.\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>MAIN TITLES CONTINUE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>EXT.  TWO MARKERS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nI think all these shots are LAP DISSOLVES. All is silence but for \\r\\nthe crickets and the wind stirring the grass. Around the markers \\r\\nthemselves, the grass has been clipped short, and by some markers \\r\\nthere are flowers in cheap vases. Crisco cans, Skippy peanut \\r\\nbutter jars, etc.\\r\\n\\r\\nThese two markers: IN MEMORY OF MARTA OUR PET RABIT DYED MARCH 1, \\r\\n1965 (on a wide flat board) and GEN PATTON (OUR! GOOD! DOG!) APRIL \\r\\n1958 (another board).\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>MAIN TITLES CONTINUE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>EXT.  FIVE OR SIX MARKERS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nWe can't read all of them; some are too faded (or the \\r\\n\"gravestones\" themselves too degenerated), but we can see now that \\r\\nthis woodland clearing's a rather eerie -- and well-populated -- \\r\\nanimal graveyard.\\r\\n\\r\\nWe can see: POLYNESIA, 1953 and HANNAH THE BEST DOG THAT EVER \\r\\nLIVED. HANNAH'S tombstone is part of an old Chevrolet hood, \\r\\npainstakingly hammered flat.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>MAIN TITLES CONTINUE.\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>EXT.  ANGLE ON THE PET SEMATARY\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nFrom here we can see most of the clearing, which is surrounded by \\r\\nforest pines. We can see that the graves--maybe 80 in all--are \\r\\narranged in rough concentric circles. On the far side of this \\r\\nclearing is the end of a path which spills into this graveyard \\r\\nclearing. The end of the path is flanked by wooden poles which \\r\\nhold up a crude arch. We can see no writing on this side -- the \\r\\nwords on the arch face those arriving along the path.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>MAIN TITLES CONTINUE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE ARCH, FROM THE PATH SIDE, CU\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nMAIN TITLES CONCLUDE. Written on the arch in faded black paint is \\r\\nthe work of some long-gone child: PET SEMATARY.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>THE CAMERA HOLDS ON THIS FOR A MOMENT OR TWO, THEN PANS SLOWLY \\r\\n</b>DOWN to look through the arch. From this angle we are looking \\r\\nacross to a deadfall--a tangle of weather-whitened old dead \\r\\nbranches at the back of the graveyard. It's maybe twenty-five feet \\r\\nfrom side to side and about nine feet high. At either end are \\r\\nthick tangles of underbrush that look impassible.\\r\\n\\r\\nAS MAIN TITLES CONCLUDE, THE CAMERA MOVES SLOWLY IN on the \\r\\ndeadfall. And as it does, we realize that there is a horrible \\r\\nsnarling face in those branches. Is this an accident? Coincidence? \\r\\nOur imagination? Perhaps the audience will wonder. THE CAMERA \\r\\nHOLDS ON IT and then we\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\tDISSOLVE TO:\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nBLACK. And a white title card: MOVING DAY.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  A HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY  EVENING\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nSOUND of crickets: ree-ree-ree-ree...\\r\\n\\r\\nTo the left of this house: a big empty field. Behind it: the \\r\\nwoods. Before it: a wide two-lane road.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe house is a pleasant two-story New England dwelling with a \\r\\nshed/garage attached. In front of it is a sign which reads QUINN \\r\\nREALTORS 292 HAMMOND STREET, BANGOR. A big SOLD strip, like a \\r\\nbumper sticker, has been plastered across it diagonally.\\r\\n\\r\\nGROWING SOUND: the rumble of a truck. A big, big truck. It belts \\r\\nbetween the CAMERA and the house -- a tanker truck with a silver \\r\\nbody and the word ORINCO written on the side in blue letters. Its \\r\\nshort-stack is blowing quantities of dark brown smoke. Behind it \\r\\ncomes a Ford wagon, which slows, signals, and turns into the \\r\\ndriveway of the house we've been looking at.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  REAR OF THE WAGON\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nAs LOUIS CREED brings it to a stop we get a good look at the \\r\\nlicense plate (Illinois) and a bumper sticker (HAVE YOU HUGGED \\r\\n<b>YOUR M.D. TODAY?)\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe ENGINE SOUND stops. For a moment or two we hear only the ree-\\r\\nree-ree-ree of crickets. Then:\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE CREED (voice)\\r\\n\\t\\tIs this our new house, daddy?\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS CREED (voice)\\r\\n\\t\\tThis is it.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE WAGON, A NEW ANGLE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe two front doors and one back door open. LOUIS CREED, about 32, \\r\\ngets out from the driver's side. RACHEL CREED, his wife, gets out \\r\\nfrom the passenger side. From the rear door comes ELLIE CREED, a \\r\\ngirl of 6. They are staring, fascinated, at the house.\\r\\n\\r\\nThey come together, the three of them, by the front of the wagon, \\r\\nstill staring at the house. LOUIS is clearly nervous.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tSo...what do you think?\\r\\n\\r\\nRACHEL begins to smile. She turns to LOUIS and hugs him.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tIt's gorgeous!\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tAm I really gonna have my own room?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYes.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYaay!\\r\\n\\r\\nShe looks toward the side lawn and sees a tire on a rope hanging \\r\\ndown from the bough of a tree.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE (to RACHEL)\\r\\n\\t\\tIs that a swing?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYes, but the rope might be--\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYaay!\\r\\n\\r\\nShe goes running toward it. RACHEL gives LOUIS a tired smile.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tLet her go. It's cool.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tLouis, the house is beautiful.\\r\\n\\r\\nThey kiss--gently at first, then more passionately. As he draws \\r\\nher more tightly against him, a baby--GAGE--begins to cry from the \\r\\ncar. LOUIS and RACHEL break the clinch.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tThe Master of Disaster awakes.\\r\\n\\r\\nThis SOUND is joined by the unhappy yowling of a pent-up tomcat.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tAnd Buckaroo Banzai.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tCome on--let's parole 'em.\\r\\n\\r\\nThey walk to the car, RACHEL going to one of the back seat doors, \\r\\nLOUIS to the rear of the wagon.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE FRONT SEAT, WITH RAHEL AND GAGE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nGAGE is sitting in his car seat, not exactly crying but certainly \\r\\nyelling to be let out. The seat, dash, and floorboards are \\r\\nlittered with roadmaps, soda cans, Big Mac boxes, and similar \\r\\ncrud. These folks have driven all the way from Chicago to Maine in \\r\\nthis station wagon, and the wagon looks it.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tDecided to wake up and see what home\\r\\n\\t\\tlooks like, huh?\\r\\n\\r\\nShe begins to unbuckle the straps and harnesses. GAGE is just \\r\\nwearing a t-shirt and a diaper. He's fifteen months old.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE REAR OF THE WAGON, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe opens the doorgate and lifts out a cat carrier. We see a big \\r\\ntomcat inside--mostly what we're aware of are shining green eyes.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE (voice)\\r\\n\\t\\tDaddy! Mommy! I see a path!\\r\\n\\r\\nLOUIS, cat carrier still in hand, turns toward:\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  ELLIE IN THE TIRE SWING\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nShe's got it penduluming back and forth in long wide arcs.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE VIEW UP TOWARD THE WOODS, ELLIE'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nWe see the field, and a clearly marked and mown path leading up \\r\\nits flank and into the dark woods.\\r\\n\\r\\nTHE CAMERA DIPS AND PENDULUMS as ELLIE swings.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  RACHEL AND GAGE (FRONT OF THE CAR)\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL (irritated)\\r\\n\\t\\tNot so high, Ellie! You don't know\\r\\n\\t\\thow strong that rope is.\\r\\n\\r\\nShe puts GAGE down. He totters a bit on his little legs and then \\r\\nstands there, looking at his sister.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE ROPE AND THE BRANCH, CU\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe bark has rubbed off the branch--it looks like a bone peeping \\r\\nthrough decayed flesh. The rope is old, discolored. And it is \\r\\nfraying away as we look at it. Soon ELLIE, like Humpty Dumpty, is \\r\\ngoing to have a great fall.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS (REAR OF THE CAR)\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe's set the cat-carrier down and is straightening up.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE (raptuous voice)\\r\\n\\t\\tWheee!\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tEllie, you heard your m---\\r\\n\\r\\nHis eyes widen.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  ELLIE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tWh--\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND: A heavy twang! as the rope breaks. The tire swing--with \\r\\nELLIE still inside it--goes crashing to the grass. ELLIE screams \\r\\nand begins to cry--a little hurt and a lot surprised.\\r\\n\\r\\nLOUIS and RACHEL run to her.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\tEllie! Are you all right?\\tHoney? Are you okay?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  ELLIE, RACHEL, LOUIS, A CLOSER SHOT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nELLIE'S parents reach the tangle of tire, rope, and six-year-old \\r\\ngirl.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tHurrts! It hurrrrts!\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tAnyone who can scream that loud isn't\\r\\n\\t\\tready for intensive care just yet--\\r\\n\\t\\tlooks like she just skinned her knee.\\r\\n\\r\\nNevertheless, he begins to rapidly disentangle his daughter from \\r\\nthe tire. RACHEL helps.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  GAGE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe's standing in the driveway by the front of the car, utterly \\r\\nforgotten in the heat of the moment. His diaper is sagging quite a \\r\\nbit; the boy needs a change.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe stares toward the scene of the accident for a bit, then loses \\r\\ninterest. CAMERA FOLLOWS as he walks down the side of the station \\r\\nwagon, little bare feet slapping on the asphalt. He stops for a \\r\\nmoment at the back, looking at the cat-carrier, which LOUIS never \\r\\ngot around to opening. CHURCH is staring hopefully out through the \\r\\nmesh.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tGAGE\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tHi-Durch!\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tCHURCH\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tWaow!\\r\\n\\r\\nGAGE bends down and tries to open the cat-carrier's door. No soap. \\r\\nEither he can't solve the latch or his fingers don't have the \\r\\nstrength. Anyway, he stops trying after a moment.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND: Growing thunder of an approaching truck - a big one.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE ROAD (GAGE'S POV)\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nA big tanker truck--silver body, ORINCO written on the side in \\r\\nblue letters--blasts by.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  GAGE, BY THE CAT CARRIER\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe windlash if the passing truck blows GAGE'S hair back from his \\r\\nforehead. We should be scared here--not by the truck, but by \\r\\nGAGE'S lack of fear. He's smiling, happy.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tGAGE\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tDruck!\\r\\n\\r\\nHe starts down the driveway toward the road.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, RACHEL, ELLIE (AT THE SWING)\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nELLIE has been disentangled from the swing. She's sitting by the \\r\\nwreckage at the end of the driveway, weeping hysterically (as much \\r\\nfrom tiredness as from pain, I think) as LOUIS and RACHEL examine \\r\\nher scraped knee. The wound doesn't look too serious.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS (to RACHEL)\\r\\n\\t\\tWould you get the first aid kit?\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE (screaming)\\r\\n\\t\\tNot the stingy stuff! I don't want the\\r\\n\\t\\tstingy stuff, daddy!\\r\\n\\r\\nRACHEL suddenly looks around toward:\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE FRONT OF THE WAGON (RACHEL'S POV)\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nNo one there.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  RACHEL, ELLIE, LOUIS, BY THE SWING\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tGage's gone!\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tJesus, the road!\\r\\n\\r\\nThey get up together.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  GAGE, AT THE EDGE OF THE ROAD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nA truck is coming. A great big one.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  ANGLE ON THE TRUCK, CU\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe grille looks like a tombstone that's learned how to snarl.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  GAGE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe takes a step into the road...and then big, gnarled hands grab \\r\\nhim.\\r\\n\\r\\nGAGE looks rather surprised at this, but not worried--this kid is \\r\\nused to being picked up and treated humanely. To GAGE strangers \\r\\nare as interesting as...well, as interesting as Orinco trucks.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  GAGE AND JUD CRANDALL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe fellow who has picked GAGE up is a man of about eighty in old \\r\\nblue jeans, a faded Bruce Springsteen t-shirt. Over this he wears \\r\\na faded khaki vest with bright silver buttons. His face is deeply \\r\\nwrinkled and kindly.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD CRANDALL (to GAGE)\\r\\n\\t\\tNo you don't, my friend--not in\\r\\n\\t\\tthat road.\\r\\n\\r\\nBut he softens this with a grin. GAGE grins back at him.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tGAGE\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tDrucks!\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD (low)\\r\\n\\t\\tNo shit, Sherlock.\\r\\n\\r\\nJUD carries him up the driveway to the station wagon. Here he's \\r\\njoined by LOUIS and RACHEL, out of breath and really scared. ELLIE \\r\\nbrings up the rear. She's still sniffling.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tGage!\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD (hands him to her)\\r\\n\\t\\tHe was headed for the road, looked\\r\\n\\t\\tlike. I corralled him for you, missus.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tThank you. Thank you so much.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYes--thanks. I'm Louis Creed.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe sticks out his hand and JUD shakes it. LOUIS takes it easy--no \\r\\ncrushing JayCees grip, or anything like that--the old guy looks as \\r\\nif he might have arthritis.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tJud Crandall. I live just across the road.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tI'm Rachel. Thanks again for saving\\r\\n\\t\\tthe wandering minstrel boy, here.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tNo harm, no foul. But you want to watch\\r\\n\\t\\tout for that road. Those damn trucks go\\r\\n\\t\\tback and forth all day and most of the\\r\\n\\t\\tnight.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe leans over toward ELLIE.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tWho might you be, little Miss?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tI'm Ellen Creed and I live at 642\\r\\n\\t\\tAlden Lane, Dearborn, Michigan. (Pause)\\r\\n\\t\\tAt least, I used to.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tAnd now you live on Route 9 in Ludlow,\\r\\n\\t\\tand your dad's gonna be the new doctor\\r\\n\\t\\tup to the college, I hear, and I think\\r\\n\\t\\tyou're going to be just as happy as a\\r\\n\\t\\tclam here, Ellen Creed.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE (to LOUIS)\\r\\n\\t\\tAre clams really happy?\\r\\n\\r\\nThey all laugh--even GAGE.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tExcuse me, Mr. Crandall--I've got to\\r\\n\\t\\tchange this kid. It's nice to meet you.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tSame here. Come over and visit when\\r\\n\\t\\tyou get the chance.\\r\\n\\r\\nAs RACHEL, carrying GAGE, moves away:\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE (worries)\\r\\n\\t\\tDaddy, do I really have to have the\\r\\n\\t\\tstingy stuff?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tNo-I guess not.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYayyy!\\r\\n\\r\\nShe goes belting off.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD (amused)\\r\\n\\t\\tI guess your daughter there ain't\\r\\n\\t\\tgoing to die after all.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS (also amused)\\r\\n\\t\\tI guess not.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tHouse has stood empty for too long.\\r\\n\\t\\tIt's damn good to see people in it again.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND: A truck engine, gearing down.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  A MOVING VAN\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt blinks and comes lumbering into the Creed's driveway.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS AND JUD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tHey--they actually found the place!\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tMovin' in's mighty thirsty work. I\\r\\n\\t\\tusually sit out on my porch of an evening\\r\\n\\t\\tand pour a couple of beers over m'dinner.\\r\\n\\t\\tCome on over and join me, if you want.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tWell, maybe I----\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL (voice)\\r\\n\\t\\tLouis, what's this?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  RACHEL AND GAGE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nGAGE has been changed, and RACHEL is following him as he explores \\r\\nthe nearest edges of the new homestead. They are fairly close to \\r\\nthe wreckage of the tire swing, and here is the head of the path \\r\\nELLIE has already glimpsed.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS AND JUD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThey cross to the van. The FIRST and SECOND MOVERS are just \\r\\nclimbing out of the van.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tFIRST MOVER\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYou Mr. Creed?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYes. Just a second.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  RACHEL AND GAGE, AT THE HEAD OF THE PATH\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nShe's holding GAGE on her hip now, and both of them are looking at \\r\\nthat strange (and oddly enticing) path which disappears into the \\r\\ndeepening twilight. LOUIS and JUD join them.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tThe movers--\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYes--I know. This path, Louis? Where does\\r\\n\\t\\tit go?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tI don't have the slightest idea. When I saw\\r\\n\\t\\tthe house, this field was under four feet\\r\\n\\t\\tof snow.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL (smiling)\\r\\n\\t\\tI bet Mr. Crandall knows!\\r\\n\\r\\nJUD nods. He smiles, too, but underneath the smile we sense that \\r\\nhe is serious.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tOh, ayuh! I know. It's a good story, and\\r\\n\\t\\ta good walk, too. I'll take you up there\\r\\n\\t\\tsometime, and tell you the story, too--\\r\\n\\t\\tafter you get settled in.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe smiles at them and they smile back--it is a look of \\r\\nunderstanding and real liking, in spite of the age difference \\r\\nbetween the CREEDS and JUD.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE CREED HOUSE  NIGHT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nSOUND: Crickets. Ree--ree--ree-ree... \\r\\n\\r\\nThere's one light upstairs, one downstairs. Perhaps we see the \\r\\npath, glimmering away into the field? Either by virtue of it being \\r\\nmown, or by virtue of some gentle optical trick? Maybe.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE LIVING ROOM  NIGHT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThere's a light on in the kitchen, but it just casts a dim glow in \\r\\nhere. The room has a fireplace and a lovely wooden floor. It's \\r\\ngoing to be nice, but now it's just a big bare box with movers' \\r\\ncartons stacked all over the place.\\r\\n\\r\\nLOUIS is drinking a can of Pepsi, and he looks pretty damned \\r\\ntired--anyone who's ever moved house and can remember the first \\r\\nnight in the new place will understand.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe finishes the last of the Pepsi and surveys the living room. He \\r\\nsits on one of the bigger boxes, takes cigarettes from his pocket, \\r\\nand lights one. He drops the spent match in the empty can, and \\r\\ntaps into the can during the scene.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND: Feet coming down the stairs. The door on the far side of \\r\\nthe room opens and RACHEL comes in, wearing a nightgown.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL (crossing to LOUIS)\\r\\n\\t\\tKids are asleep, doc.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tGreat.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe hugs her.

A small knot of horrified college kids moves with the \\r\\nbearers.\\r\\n\\r\\nPASCOW'S head is upside down to the CAMERA, which retreats ahead \\r\\nof the advancing students. Fixed eyes stare. Half of his head has \\r\\nbeen shattered inward. Before the catastrophe he was a husky male \\r\\nof about twenty. He's dressed in a U of M muscle shirt and red \\r\\njogging shorts.\\r\\n\\r\\nTHE CAMERA PULLS JERKILY TO ONE SIDE, allowing the bearers to \\r\\nmount the steps of a brick building. The infirmary.

LOUIS is \\r\\ncarrying the plastic bag in one hand and a flashlight in the \\r\\nother. JUD has a pick and shovel in one hand and a flashlight of \\r\\nhis own in the other.\\r\\n\\r\\nEvening shadows have grown long. It's maybe an hour until dark.\\r\\n\\r\\nJUD and LOUIS stop near the replaced tire-swing.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.

THE PET SEMATARY AND THE BACK OF THE ARCH  LATE EVENING\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe SOUND of crickets...ree-ree-ree...\\r\\n\\r\\nThe SOUND of footfalls.\\r\\n\\r\\nFaintly, the SOUND of Huey Lewis and the News, singing \"Working \\r\\nFor A Living.\"\\r\\n\\r\\nIt's now almost twilight.\\r\\n\\r\\nJUD and LOUIS enter the Pet Sematary.

THEIR FEET\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nFirst JUD'S pass THE CAMERA, then LOUIS'S, partly obscured by the \\r\\nswinging cat-bag.

BIG GOD WOODS, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIn the dying glow of twilight, this should be a mystic, awe-\\r\\ninspiring shot. There's no more scrub underbrush and junk pines \\r\\nand juniper-bracken here; ancient firs rise almost like Sequoias. \\r\\nThe sunset light shafts among them.

LOUIS, CLOSER\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe does a half-somersault in the air and hits the deadfall on his \\r\\nback, the green garbage bag flying out of his hand. His flashlight \\r\\nalso goes. Branches crack. White dust puffs out from under him.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  JUD, AT THE BASE OF THE DEADFALL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS thumps to the ground nearby.

LOUIS AND JUD, FROM THE DEADFALL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nAgain, there should be a sense of awe and mystery as they go \\r\\ntolling up the path into the twilight, dwarfed by those ancient \\r\\nfirs.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND OF CRICKETS, LOW at first, then UP TO LOUD: Ree-ree-ree...\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\tDISSOLVE TO:\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>EXT.

JUD, CU\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHis face is set, strange.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tThere's a lot of funny things down\\r\\n\\t\\tthis way, Louis.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, BEHIND JUD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYou're telling me.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  JUD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD (still walking)\\r\\n\\t\\tThe air's heavier...more electrical...\\r\\n\\t\\tsomething. You might see St. Elmo's\\r\\n\\t\\tFire...what the sailors call 'foo-lights.'\\r\\n\\t\\tIt makes funny shapes, but it's nothing.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHE looks up and his eyes widen as he sees:\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  ANGLE ON LITTLE GOD SWAMP, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nA faintly glowing, ethereal shape hangs in the branches of one of \\r\\nthe dead trees. It looks a bit like a corpse. In fact, I think it \\r\\nlooks quite a bit like PASCOW'S corpse.\\r\\n\\r\\nAs we watch it fades...fades...is gone.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe's somewhere between being mystified and puzzled and being \\r\\nscared. Now a weakly glowing fireball rolls slowly across the \\r\\nsurface of the standing water toward him...and then just fades \\r\\ninto the thick mist.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tIt's funny, all right.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  JUD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tJust don't stop, Louis. You don't\\r\\n\\t\\tever want to stop down here in\\r\\n\\t\\tLittle God.

JUD AND LOUIS, LONG ANGLE  NIGHT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nWe see them moving through the mist like wraiths, JUD with his \\r\\ndigging tools, LOUIS with his light and his Hefty-Bag coffin. The \\r\\nwhole swamp is glowing dimly.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE FAR SIDE OF LITTLE GOD SWAMP  NIGHT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIn the extreme f.g. we can see firm ground sloping up. Ahead is a \\r\\nthick white mist. And here comes JUD and LOUIS slogging through it \\r\\nand out of it. Both of them are wet from the knees down. They head \\r\\ninto the woods on the far side.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  A LOW, STONY BLUFF OR STEEP HILL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIn the book this is described as being almost a cliff, but a rocky \\r\\nhill rising out of the woods would serve just as well. We can see \\r\\nsteps cut into the side, and two figures--LOUIS and JUD--toiling \\r\\nup them.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  JUD AND LOUIS, A CLOSER SHOT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nJUD'S panting and out of breath; LOUIS is, if anything, in worse \\r\\nshape.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tAlmost there, Louis.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYou keep saying that.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tThis time I mean it.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe tops the last step and stands on a rocky level under the stars, \\r\\nthe wind blowing his hair off his deeply lined brow. A few moments \\r\\nlater LOUIS joins him and stares with undisguised wonder.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE MICMAC BURYING GROUND, LOUIS AND JUD'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe top of this hill or bluff is rocky and bare, but there are a \\r\\nnumber of rocky piles. But for every pile of rocks we can see, \\r\\nthere are ten littered heaps, as if the neat piles had been burst \\r\\napart. There's a shape to all of this, and it is the shape of the \\r\\nPet Sematary: concentric circles.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND: The wind, blowing ceaselessly.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS AND JUD, AT THE EDGE OF THE BURYING GROUND\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS (awed)\\r\\n\\t\\tWhat is this place?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tThis was their burying ground, Louis.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tWhose burying ground?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tThe Micmac Indians.

I'd help you, but you've got to\\r\\n\\t\\tdo it yourself. Each buries his own.\\r\\n\\t\\tThat's how it was done then.\\r\\n\\r\\nJUD walks away, leaving LOUIS with the digging tools in one hand \\r\\nand the flashlight in the other. After a minute, LOUIS walks out \\r\\ninto the burying ground.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOOKING DOWN INTO A SHALLOW HOLE  NIGHT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nSOUND: The wind. It blows ceaselessly up here.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe hole's about two and a half feet deep. Stubby rocks protrude \\r\\nfrom the sides. The pick comes down, hits a rock at the bottom, \\r\\nand flashes fire.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe drops the pick and sticks his hurt hands in his armpits. Beside \\r\\nhim we see a low pile of rocks and earth.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD (voice)\\r\\n\\t\\tShould be deep enough.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe joins LOUIS. He's got a lot of rocks in his arms.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYou think so?\\r\\n\\r\\nHe notices the rocks.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tWhat are those for?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYour cairn.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE MICMAC BURYING GROUND, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThose tumbled piles of rock are very obvious.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS AND JUD, BY CHURCH'S GRAVE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tDoesn't look like they last long.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tDon't worry about that.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tJud, why am I doing all this?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tBecause it's right.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe walks off again.\\r\\n\\r\\nLOUIS looks after him for a moment, then kneels down.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, BY THE GARBAGE BAG\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe opens it and looks in at CHURCH'S stiffening corpse.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tPax vobiscum, Church old buddy. You\\r\\n\\t\\twere a hell of a god cat. I doubt if\\r\\n\\t\\tyou were worth all this aggravation,\\r\\n\\t\\tbut you were a hell of a good cat.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe tumbles the bag containing the body into the grave, and then \\r\\nbegins pushing the stony soil over it with the spade.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE CAIRN, CU  NIGHT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS'S hands come into the frame and add a final two or three \\r\\nstones.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, BY THE CAIRN\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe looks at it for a moment and stands up. JUD is right there.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tThat's fine. You did real good.\\r\\n\\r\\nLOUIS looks at him.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE CREED HOUSE  NIGHT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThere's a light on in the kitchen, but that's all. There's silence \\r\\nat first, and then the PHONE STARTS RINGING.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS'S FIELD  NIGHT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS and JUD are coming down the path with their tools and their \\r\\nlights. They are both clearly fagged out.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND, FAINT: The telephone.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tOh, shit! Rachel!\\r\\n\\r\\nHe drops the tools and sprints.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE CREED'S SIDE YARD, BY THE TIRE SWING\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS runs into the side yard. SOUND of the phone is louder.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE KITCHEN DOOR OF THE CREED HOUSE, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe runs to the door and inside.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE END OF THE PATH, WITH JUD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe stands there, eyes inscrutable.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE LIVING ROOM, WITH THE PHONE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt stops. A beat later LOUIS enters the room. He picks it up, \\r\\nalthough he already knows it's too late. He listens to the SOUND \\r\\nof the dial tone and then drops it back into the cradle, \\r\\ndisgusted.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe starts to dial a number from memory.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD (voice)\\r\\n\\t\\tLouis.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE KITCHEN/LIVING ROOM DOORWAY, WITH JUD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tWhen you talk to 'em, not one word\\r\\n\\t\\tabout what we done tonight. 'S'far's\\r\\n\\t\\tyou know, the cat's still fine.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  LOUIS, BY THE PHONE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nAfter a moment he lowers it into the cradle.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  JUD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYou'll understand. In the meantime,\\r\\n\\t\\tkeep your peace. What we did, Louis,\\r\\n\\t\\twas a secret thing. Women are supposed\\r\\n\\t\\tto be the ones who are good at\\r\\n\\t\\tkeeping secrets, but any woman who\\r\\n\\t\\tknows anything at all would tell you\\r\\n\\t\\tshe's never seen into a man's heart.\\r\\n\\t\\tThe soil of a man's heart is stonier,\\r\\n\\t\\tLouis--like the soil up there in the\\r\\n\\t\\told Micmac burying ground. A man\\r\\n\\t\\tgrows what he can...and tends it.\\r\\n\\r\\nDuring this, he's come across the room to LOUIS and dropped his \\r\\nhand on LOUIS'S shoulder.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tBut--\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tJUD\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tNo buts!

Now\\r\\n\\t\\tyou make your call...but not a word\\r\\n\\t\\tabout tonight.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE ROAD, WITH JUD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nSOUNDS: Boops and beeps of a touch-tone telephone. Ringing. Then:\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tDORY GOLDMAN (voice)\\r\\n\\t\\tGoldman residence.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tHi, Dory...it's Louis--\\r\\n\\r\\nDuring this, another SOUND has been growing: an approaching truck. \\r\\nAs JUD gains his side of the road, he looks back, and we read fear \\r\\non his face--no matter what he said to LOUIS, he's sorry for \\r\\ntonight's piece of work.\\r\\n\\r\\nA moment later a highballing Orinco truck cuts between THE CAMERA \\r\\nand JUD.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.

Her Chatty Cathy is \\r\\ncrooked in one arm. In her lap is a Garfield transistor radio.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tELLIE\\r\\n</b>\\t\\t...and a Garfield radio! How's Church,\\r\\n\\t\\tdad? Does he miss me?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE CREED LIVING ROOM, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe smile fades off his face. It's replaced with a look of \\r\\ncombined guilt and unhappiness. He's looking at his hands, which \\r\\nare still dark with the dirt from CHURCH'S grave.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tWell...I guess he's just fine, Ellie.\\r\\n\\t\\tI haven't seen him this evening, but--\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.

ELLIE and \\r\\nRACHEL watch, amused, as GAGE gobbles into it. Perhaps RACHEL \\r\\nencourages him to say a few words.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE CREED LVING ROOM, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nFrom the telephone comes the sound of GAGE talking and chortling. \\r\\nLOUIS is not listening. His eyes--and his mind--are far away.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE CREED HOUSE  MORNING\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS is raking leaves on the side lawn, near the tree with the \\r\\ntire swing. After a moment or two of this he props the rake \\r\\nagainst the tree and starts toward the garage. He goes in.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE GARAGE, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt's dim in here. LOUIS is crossing to the door which communicates \\r\\nto the kitchen. As he passes the station wagon, he hears a cat \\r\\nHISS. He turns.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  CHURCH, ECU\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe's on top of the car, but at this point we probably don't \\r\\nnotice; THE CAMERA is so close that CHURCH looks like he's coming \\r\\nright down our throats. He's hissing angrily.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe recoils and stumbles backward with a cry. He hits a tool-rack \\r\\non the wall and a lot of them fall down with a LOUD JANGLING \\r\\n<b>NOISE.\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>INT.  ON TOP OF THE STATION WAGON, WITH CHURCH\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe jumps down, frightened by the noise, and the CAMERA TRACKS as \\r\\nhe goes flying out the garage door into the sunlight.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe gets slowly to his feet again. He's getting over his fright but \\r\\nwe can see he's totally freaked out by what gave him that fright. \\r\\nHe goes to the garage door and looks out.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS (calls)\\r\\n\\t\\tChurch?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE SIDE YARD, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nGrass and fallen leaves. No sign of CHURCH.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS'S STUNNED FACE, CU\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE KITCHEN, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe's spooning cat-food into a dish. He goes to the door--there \\r\\nshould be a total of three doors in the kitchen: one to the living \\r\\nroom, one to the shed/garage, and one which leads directly \\r\\noutside. LOUIS uses this latter door now.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.

THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nCHURCH comes slinking out of the bushes and comes slowly toward \\r\\nTHE CAMERA. He stops, looking mistrustful.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.

LOUIS AND CHURCH, ON THE STOOP\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS sees something else as he lets the cat's neck go. He tweezes \\r\\nsomething out of CHURCH'S whiskers.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.

JUD CRANDALL'S GARDEN, WITH JUD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe garden is a plot of about half an acre. JUD comes trundling \\r\\nslowly along a row, pushing a wheelbarrow. There are several \\r\\npumpkins in it. JUD is wearing old khaki gardening pants and a \\r\\nRamones sweatshirt. He's wearing his headphones and we can hear \\r\\nthe Romantics doing \"What I Like About You.\" JUD is singing along \\r\\nand bopping a little--as much as his arthritis will allow, if you \\r\\ncan dig it.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe sees a real big pumpkin, stops, and bends over to get it.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe takes out his pocket-knife and slits the pumpkin-vine. He gets \\r\\nthe pumpkin in his arms and stands up. He turns...and LOUIS is \\r\\nright there (kind of a cheap jump, but always fun), looking \\r\\ntotally stunned.\\r\\n\\r\\nJUD, startled, drops the pumpkin.

Dust spumes up behind the wagon as he \\r\\ndraws up to the CRANDALL house and stops. He gets down, almost \\r\\nfalls, takes a bottle out of his back pocket, drinks, and \\r\\napproaches JUD.

LOUIS'S battle-scars are fading a little.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe GATE AGENT is standing by the jetway with a mike in one hand \\r\\nand a bunch of boarding passes in the other.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tGATE AGENT (concludes)\\r\\n\\t\\tAll passengers should now be aboard.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYou better get going, hon.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tOh Louis, I just don't know about\\r\\n\\t\\tthis--\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tI told you last night--this can be the\\r\\n\\t\\tstart of patching things up with your\\r\\n\\t\\tfolks.

LOUIS, BY GAGE'S GRAVE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe's lying on his stomach, reaching in. We hear the SOUND of dirt \\r\\ngrating in hinges again.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, CU\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nWe're looking up into his face. If GAGE had a POV, this would be \\r\\nit. LOUIS'S face fills with a terrible grief.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tOh, Gage--oh, honey.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  JUD CRANDALL, ON HIS PORCH\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHis chin slips to his chest, even though we hear Creedence on his \\r\\n'phones and to him the sound must be at blastoff levels. There's a \\r\\nlong round ash on his cigarette in the tray. A couple of empty \\r\\nbeer cans on the table beside him.\\r\\n\\r\\nA truck blasts by, startling him out of his doze. He jerks his \\r\\nhead up suddenly...and slaps himself. He's okay...for now.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE GRAVEYARD, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe is sitting on the edge of the grave, holding his dead son in \\r\\nhis arms, rocking him. GAGE is back to us. We see only a small \\r\\nlimp figure in a dark suit. Hair flops limply.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tIt's going to be all right...I\\r\\n\\t\\tswear it's going to be all right...\\r\\n\\r\\nThe canvas tarp has been spread open to the right. LOUIS begins to \\r\\nlay his son down on it.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE GROUND BESIDE THE TARP, CU\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt's littered with flower petals. One limp hand appears among \\r\\nthem.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe closes the tarp over GAGE, making a roll. He then produces rope \\r\\nfrom the duffle bag. He cuts the rope and begins to tie one piece \\r\\naround one end of the canvas roll containing the corpse of his \\r\\nson.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  JETLINER IN THE NIGHT SKY\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tPILOT (voice)\\r\\n\\t\\tGood evening again, ladies and\\r\\n\\t\\tgentlemen...\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE JETLINER, WITH RACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHer seatmate is knitting something. Across the aisle sits VICTOR \\r\\nPASCOW, bloody but serene, hands clasped in his lap, looking \\r\\nstraight ahead. RACHEL looks around tensely.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tPILOT (continues)\\r\\n\\t\\tI'm delighted to tell you that we've\\r\\n\\t\\tgot a strong tail-wind tonight and\\r\\n\\t\\twe expect to arrive at Boston's\\r\\n\\t\\tLogan Airport almost on time.\\r\\n\\r\\nPASCOW clenches his fist in a \"That's one for our side!\" gesture.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL (softly)\\r\\n\\t\\tThank God.\\r\\n\\r\\nHer SEATMATE looks at her a bit strangely.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE GRAVEYARD, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe's got the bundle containing his son and the duffle-bag with the \\r\\ntools. He runs bent over. He reaches the wall and there's the \\r\\nSOUND of another motor. He crouches at the base of the wall.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE ROAD\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHere comes that same police car. The spotlight runs along the \\r\\nwall.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nCrouching against his side of the wall and sweating.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE POLICE CAR\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt stops. The COP gets out. He walks slowly toward the wall.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nCrouched. Now we see the COP looking over the top. If he looks \\r\\ndown...but he doesn't. Instead he turns around so we see his back. \\r\\nLOUIS looks up, miserably scared, pouring sweat.\\r\\n\\r\\nSilence. Then: SOUND of the cop taking a whiz.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE COP\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nAh! Relief. SOUND of his fly being zipped. He looks back at the \\r\\ncemetery for a moment.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tCOP\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tI ain't afraid of no ghost.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe walks back to his cruiser, gets in, and hauls ass.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, BEHIND THE WALL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe collapses with relief. Then he gets up and looks cautiously \\r\\nover the wall. Nothing there but his car, parked a little way down \\r\\non the other side of the road.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe tosses the duffle bag over the top of the wall. He puts the \\r\\ncanvas roll containing GAGE on top of the wall. Then he vaults \\r\\nover.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE STREET SIDE OF THE WALL, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe takes the roll, gets the duffle bag hooked over his shoulder by \\r\\nthe string, and runs across the road like a soldier crossing enemy \\r\\nterritory. He goes to the rear of the wagon.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE REAR OF THE WAGON, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe puts the body down. He feels in his pocket for his keys. No \\r\\nkeys. Mild consternation. He looks around, feeling exposed. The \\r\\nother pocket. Still no keys. More consternation. He begins to hunt \\r\\nfeverishly through his pockets. Maybe in his jacket? Nope.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND: An approaching car.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  PASSING CAR\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nA civilian--not the ubiquitous cop.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe turns his pockets out, spilling change everywhere. Nothing. \\r\\nSuddenly a little light goes on in his eyes. He goes to the \\r\\ndriver's side of the car and looks in at:\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  IGNITION, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe keys are in the switch.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe snatches the keys and returns to the back of the wagon. He uses \\r\\nthe key to open the doorgate. He puts GAGE'S body in gently, then \\r\\nthe duffle bag. He closes the doorgate and returns to the front of \\r\\nthe car. He opens the driver's door and freezes.\\r\\n\\r\\nLOUIS returns to the rear, gets his keys from the doorgate, comes \\r\\nback to the front, gets in, and drives away.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  A JETWAY AT LOGAN INTERNATIONAL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nPeople are debarking into the gate area. Through them comes \\r\\nRACHEL, running fast, pushing some people, excusing herself \\r\\nincoherently. PASCOW is walking near her.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tPASCOW\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tThere's just time. If you run.\\r\\n\\r\\nWithout looking at PASCOW, RACHEL takes off her shoes and runs.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE CONCOURSE, WITH RACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nShe's sprinting down the concourse--look out, Joanie Benoit!\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  GATE 27, WITH FEMALE GATE AGENT AND PASCOW\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe FEMALE GATE AGENT is starting to close the jetway door.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tPASCOW\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tDon't do that, babe.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe GATE AGENT looks puzzled, as if she just had a thought (or \\r\\nmaybe a gas pain). She stops closing the door. RACHEL runs into \\r\\nthe area. She sees:\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT./EXT.  THE JET PLANE, THROUGH THE GATE WINDOWS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt is just starting to swing ponderously away from the jetway.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  RACHEL AND FEMALE GATE AGENT (PASCOW IS GONE)\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tMake it come back!\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tFEMALE GATE AGENT\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tI can't--\\r\\n\\r\\nRACHEL bolts down the jetway. The GATE AGENT stares after her, and \\r\\nthen runs for her stand, where we can see FLIGHT 61 and BANGOR on \\r\\nthe slide-cards. She picks up her mike.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE JETWAY  NIGHT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nRACHEL stands all alone at the end of it.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>AMPLIFIED SOUNDS OF JET ENGINES.\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL (screams)\\r\\n<b>\\t\\tCOME BACK, MOTHERFUCKER!!\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE JET, RACHEL'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt starts to swing back to pick her up.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  RACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nPASCOW appears behind her and puts a hand on her shoulder.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tPASCOW\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tYou're doing just fine.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  JUD CRANDALL, ON HIS PORCH\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe's fast asleep with the tinny sound of Graham Parker coming out \\r\\nof his Walkman 'phones.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND: An approaching car.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE CREED HOUSE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe station wagon turns in and parks. LOUIS gets out. He opens the \\r\\nback, removes the body in the tarp and the duffle bag filled with \\r\\ntools. He manages to get everything together and walks to the edge \\r\\nof the path. He looks at:\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE PATH TO THE PET SEMATARY, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nOff it goes, glimmering in the dark.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe holds the corpse of his little boy to him.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tPlease God--let this work.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe sets off.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  JUD, ON HIS PORCH\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nZonked out. He missed the whole thing. Nice going, Jud.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  OUTSIDE THE ARCH TO THE PET SEMATARY, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLouis passes under like a ghost.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE PET SEMATARY, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS is crying. He crosses to the deadfall.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tAin't gonna stop, Gage. Ain't\\r\\n\\t\\tgonna look down.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe begins to mount the deadfall.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, A NEW ANGLE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe reaches the top. And woven into the deadfall, behind him, \\r\\nfacing the Pet Sematary, is that snarling face.\\r\\n\\r\\nLOUIS descends the other side.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE FOOT OF THE DEDFALL, WOODS SIDE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS reaches the bottom and looks at:\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE WOODS, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe path winds onward through those gigantic trees--it glows \\r\\nslightly.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, MOVING UP THE PATH\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, AT THE EDGE OF LITTLE GOD SWAMP\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThat phosphorescent glow is a lot more pronounced. SOUNDS of \\r\\nCRICKETS and FROGS. The water is mucky and still. Hummocks stick \\r\\nup like knobs on the back of a creature best not seen. Fog drifts \\r\\nthrough the dead trees. LOUIS doesn't want to go in there. Smart \\r\\nman. I wouldn't either.\\r\\n\\r\\nBut he does.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE HERTZ DESK, AT BIA WITH RACHEL AND CLERK--AND PASCOW\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nPASCOW is lounging back against the rack of folders--and getting \\r\\nsome of them bloody.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tHERTZ CLERK\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tI'm sorry...it's been very busy\\r\\n\\t\\ttonight. I really don't have\\r\\n\\t\\tanything.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tPASCOW\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tWhat about the Aries K with the\\r\\n\\t\\tscratch on the side?\\r\\n\\r\\nThe CLERK starts looking through her papers.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tCLERK\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tI do have an Aries K, but it came\\r\\n\\t\\tin sort of beat up--there's a long\\r\\n\\t\\tscrape up one side--\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tI'll take it.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, IN LITTLE GOD SWAMP\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe comes walking toward THE CAMERA with GAGE in his arms and the \\r\\nduffle bag over his shoulder. Mist swirls around him. The \\r\\nlandscape is weird, surreal. CRICKET SOUNDS, AMPLIFIED. In fact \\r\\nthere are a lot of swampy, marshy SOUNDS--too many. It sounds \\r\\nalmost prehistoric.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>SOUND: HARSH, SCREAMING LAUGHTER\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS stops. He looks slowly around at:\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  MIST-FACE, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nA demonic face takes shape in the mist and FLOATS SLOWLY TOWARD \\r\\nTHE CAMERA. It runs out a tongue that's about nine feet long.\\r\\n\\r\\nIts eyes blow out. Blood and thick, gooey stuff runs from the \\r\\nsockets.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe closes his eyes. After a moment he opens them.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LITTLE GOD SWAMP, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nNothing there.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tSee? Just imagination. Just--\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS'S FEET\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nWe can barely see them because they are thick in mist, but he is \\r\\nstanding on a couple of low, marshy tussocks. Suddenly a thick \\r\\ntentacle slimes its way out of the standing water and slithers \\r\\naround his ankle.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, LOOKING DOWN\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tNothing...there.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe turns around and begins to walk again.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS'S FEET\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe tentacle falls away.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, IN LITTLE GOD SWAMP\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nMYRIAD SOUNDS, none of them pleasant--laughter, gobbling howls, \\r\\nscreams. Sounds like the swamp has been invaded by a pack of \\r\\nescaped lunatics. LOUIS continues on regardless.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  WOODS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS comes into the frame. He's obviously tiring now, but he \\r\\nkeeps moving along.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND: Approaching footsteps. Big ones. Thudding ones. Something \\r\\nis coming which sounds approximately the size of a Tyrannosaurus \\r\\nRex. And it just keeps getting louder and louder and louder. LOUIS \\r\\nlooks plenty scared.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND: A falling tree.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  WOODS, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThose SOUNDS keep getting closer and closer. Another tree falls--\\r\\nwe see this one. And now we see a SHAPE--just a SHAPE.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe's scared almost to death. His face turns up...up...up.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE WOODS--AND THE SHAPE, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt is vaguely manlike: perhaps sixty feet tall, perhaps eighty. We \\r\\ndon't see it very well, nor do we have to--I'm not even sure it's \\r\\nflesh and blood. But there is a clear suggestion of a head. Now it \\r\\nturns and looks down...looks at LOUIS CREED. We see great yellow \\r\\neyes the size of lighthouse lamps.\\r\\n\\r\\nIt makes a huge GRUNTING SOUND...and then walks on.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe SOUND OF FOOTFALLS is slowly diminishing.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tIt was the Wendigo. Dear God, I\\r\\n\\t\\tthink the Wendigo just passed\\r\\n\\t\\twithin sixty feet of me.\\r\\n\\r\\nSlowly he begins to walk again.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS, A NEW ANGLE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIn the extreme f.g. is a tree which has just fallen--it is no \\r\\nsmall tree, either, but a great big old fir.\\r\\n\\r\\nLOUIS approaches it. Stops. Looks at the tree. Looks down at:\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE FOREST FLOOR, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHere is a gigantic animal track--if it was full of water, LOUIS \\r\\ncould swim in it. It looks like no animal track we've ever seen \\r\\nbefore. Three big claws at the end of it.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLooks up again. His face is set and hard.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tIt doesn't matter. Come on, Gage.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe starts to walk again.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE MICMAC BURYING GROUND\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nSOUND: The wind, lonesome and keening.\\r\\n\\r\\nTHE CAMERA MOVES SLOWLY toward the slope, dreaming its way over \\r\\nthose rocky cairns...most of them burst apart.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND: Tortured breathing. Panting.\\r\\n\\r\\nLOUIS toils his way into view, carrying his bundle. He reaches the \\r\\ntop. He makes his way slowly into the burying ground. He stumbles \\r\\nover a rock. Falls down. Slowly gathers his things together and \\r\\ngets up again. He goes a little further and then stops and looks \\r\\nat:\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  A BROKEN CAIRN AND THE GRAVE BENEATH, LOUIS'S POV\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nWe can also see the shredded remains of a green garbage bag.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe slowly kneels down. He puts the canvas tarp to one side and \\r\\nslowly takes the pick and shovel from the duffle bag. By now he is \\r\\nclearly a man approaching total exhaustion.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  A COUNTRY ROAD, WITH AN ARIES K\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt tracks past THE CAMERA.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE ARIES K WITH RACHEL AND PASCOW\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nBoth of them look tense. RACHEL is bolt upright behind the wheel. \\r\\nSuddenly, BANG! as one of the tires blow.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE ARIES K\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt goes skidding and slueing across the road, the rear tire half \\r\\noff the rim. IT climbs the curb and hits a tree.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  RACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nShe lurches forward, but she's wearing her seat-belt--good girl! \\r\\nShe unbuckles it and gets out.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  RACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nShe looks at the car, which now has quite a bit more wrong with it \\r\\nthan just a scratch up the side.\\r\\n\\r\\nRACHEL slumps, near tears. LOUIS isn't the only one who's been \\r\\nthrough a lot tonight.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tNow what?\\r\\n\\r\\nPASCOW comes from around the tree as RACHEL walks to the road, \\r\\nlooking for cars, or something. He looks urgent and upset.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tPASCOW\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tIt's trying to stop you. Do you\\r\\n\\t\\thear me? It's trying to stop you.\\r\\n\\r\\nRACHEL looks around uncertainly...a little afraid. As she scans \\r\\nthe scene she looks at--and through--PASCOW.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tIs anyone there?\\r\\n\\r\\nAfter a moment of silence she turns back to the road. Lights \\r\\nappear and brighten as a car approaches. RACHEL steps to the \\r\\nshoulder and after a moment she sticks out her thumb, surely for \\r\\nthe first time in her life.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe car sweeps by her without slowing.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  GAGE'S CAIRN, CU\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS'S hands enter the shot and put a few more rocks on it. THE \\r\\nCAMERA PULLS BACK and we see him surveying his work. Beside him is \\r\\nthe canvas tarp, now open and empty.\\r\\n\\r\\nAbsently, LOUIS stuffs the tarp into the duffle bag (where his \\r\\ntools have also been replaced) and stands up with a wince. One \\r\\nhand goes to his lower back. He looks down at the cairn.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tLOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tCome back to me, Gage. Come back\\r\\n\\t\\tto us.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe turns away toward the stairs.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  RACHEL, ON ROUTE 9\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nShe's walking down the shoulder with her high heels in one hand. \\r\\nLights. An approaching car. She turns, thumb out. The car blasts \\r\\nby.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL (shouts)\\r\\n<b>\\t\\tMAY THE SEWERS OF RANGOON BACK UP\\r\\n</b><b>\\t\\tIN YOUR BEDROOM, ASSHOLE!\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nShe starts walking again.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE FIELD BESIDE LOUIS'S HOUSE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS is moving down the path. As he passes the tire swing he \\r\\npushes it, setting it in motion.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE GARAGE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nLOUIS slings the duffle bag wearily to one side and goes into the \\r\\nkitchen. CHURCH is under the table but LOUIS Doesn't see him.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE UPSTAIRS HALL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nSOUND of LOUIS slowly plodding up the stairs. He comes into view, \\r\\ndirty and exhausted, his hair hanging in his face. He walks down \\r\\nthe hall toward the master bedroom.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE BEDROOM\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe clock on the bedtable reads 2:17 A.M. LOUIS falls face-first \\r\\non the immaculate bedspread and lies still.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn this shot we should note the closet door is standing open.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE MICMAC BURYING GROUND, FEATURING GAGE'S CAIRN\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nTHE CAMERA MOVES IN SLOWLY. Holds. Nothing for a beat. Then:\\r\\n\\r\\nA small white hand slams up through the rocks, hopefully scaring \\r\\nthe living shit out of us.\\r\\n\\r\\nCAMERA MOVES CLOSER as the hand begins to feel around. It takes \\r\\none of the rocks and pushes it aside. Another. Another. Another.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe SOUNDS are not encouraging. It is GRUNTING and GROWLING. There \\r\\nis nothing human here.\\r\\n\\r\\nRocks begin to tumble as GAGE starts to come out of his grave.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE CREED BEDROOM, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nFast asleep on the coverlet in his dirty jeans and black sweater.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  RACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nMy babe is still takin' a hike. But here comes another vehicle.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE DEADFALL IN THE PET SEMATARY\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nTHE CAMERA MOVES IN on that snarling face.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUNDS: GAGE coming. Dead dry breath. Low snarling noises.\\r\\n\\r\\nNow we see small feet in dirty black shoes walking down the \\r\\ndeadfall.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  RACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nSuddenly, as the lights appear, she does a Claudette Colbert, \\r\\npulling her skirt up and exhibiting a very lovely leg.\\r\\n\\r\\nLights--it's an Orinco truck, naturally--spotlight her. The truck \\r\\nstops.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  RACHEL AND THE TRUCK\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nThe driver leans over and opens the door.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tDRIVER\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tHop in, baby.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tThank you.\\r\\n\\r\\nShe does.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE CREED KITCHEN, WITH CHURCH\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nHe's under the kitchen table, green eyes gleaming. I think he \\r\\nloves dead, hates living.\\r\\n\\r\\nSOUND: The doorlatch. CHURCH MIAOWS.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE KITCHEN, A NEW (LOW) ANGLE\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nGAGE'S shoes grit slowly across the linoleum, leaving dirty \\r\\ntracks. CHURCH turns to watch GAGE'S passage, and then follows.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE BEDROOM, WITH LOUIS\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nCAMERA HOLDS ON LOUIS as those gritting footsteps approach. Then \\r\\nwe pan to the closet. On the floor is LOUIS'S little black bag. We \\r\\nhold on this as the footfalls near. A small white hand enters the \\r\\nframe and pulls the doctor-bag out of the closet. Now another hand \\r\\nenters the frame and opens the bag. The hands search around inside \\r\\nand bring out a scalpel.\\r\\n\\r\\nThey hold it up. The GAGE-THING makes a contented SOUND.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>EXT.  THE ORINCO TRUCK, ON ROUTE 9  NIGHT\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nIt sweeps past THE CAMERA\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.  THE CAB, WITH RACHEL AND DRIVER\\r\\n</b>\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tCan't you go any faster?\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tTRUCKER\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tLady, I got nine points on my\\r\\n\\t\\tlicense right now.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>\\t\\t\\t\\tRACHEL\\r\\n</b>\\t\\tI understand.

JUD, ON HIS PORCH\\r\\n</b>\\r\\nMore deeply asleep than ever. Suddenly, from inside, comes the \\r\\nsound of Quiet Riot singing/screaming \"Bang Your Head.\" It's the \\r\\nstereo, and boy, is it cranked.\\r\\n\\r\\nJUD straightens up so suddenly he almost falls off his chair. His \\r\\nhands go first to his earphones--his first thought on waking is \\r\\nthat it's coming from there--and then he hurries inside.\\r\\n\\r\\nCAMERA PANS DOWN to small muddy tracks on the porch floor.\\r\\n\\r\\n<b>INT.

He \\r\\ncomes up with three syringes, still wrapped in paper, and puts \\r\\nthem aside. Then he roots around some more and comes up with \\r\\nseveral ampoules.

His hair has gone partially white.\\r\\n\\r\\nHe fills all three syringes with morphine (using two ampoules for \\r\\neach syringe--i.e., enough to kill a polar bear) and puts them in \\r\\nthe left breast pocket of his shirt. He puts the spare ampoules in \\r\\nthe right breast pocket of his shirt.\\r\\n\\r\\nLOUIS is slowly going insane.

Shadowy and empty.\\r\\n\\r\\nDown the hall. A closet door. A bag falls off the top shelf, and a \\r\\nbunch of ceramics inside it SHATTER LOUDLY. LOUIS flinches back.\\r\\n\\r\\nDown the hall.

It breaks.\\r\\n\\r\\nLOUIS and GAGE fall to the floor. LOUIS gets the other syringe out \\r\\nof his pocket, but it's also knocked out of his hand. Only \\r\\nconsolation is this one isn't broken.

    "Exploring the data, a couple of data quality issues are evident:\n",
    "- There are a surprising number of duplicates, given that every movie should have a unique script. Looking into the data a little more, many of these are  different movies with the same title. See below, 3 different movies titled 'It'\n",
    "    - Two of these movies are adaptations of Stephen King's It, while one, [It (1927)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_(1927_film)) is a completely different movie that came out before the book. "
