EXT. HILL OUTSIDE ASHTON - DAY Edward climbs up the last bit of the steep hillside, reachingthe mouth of a cave. Outside, buzzards squabble over theremains of the giant’s feast: broken barrels, bones pickedclean.
In his most serious voice, Edward calls out:
EDWARD:
Hello!
There’s no answer.
EDWARD (cont’d) My name is Edward Bloom! I want to talk to you!
From deep in a cave, a thunderous voice: VOICE (O.S.) GO AWAY!
The giant’s voice has such force, it blows Edward’s hairback.
EDWARD:
I’m not going anywhere until you showyourself.
A beat, then we hear a RUMBLE, like a train coming. Edward braces himself, fists ready for a fight, if that’s what it’sgoing to take.
As the RUMBLE gets louder, the ground starts to shake. Even Edward starts to worry. Just how big is this guy?
EDWARD (V.O.)(cont’d) Armed with the foreknowledge of my owndeath, I knew the giant couldn’t kill me. All the same, I preferred to keepmy bones unbroken.
Edward picks up a stone, ready to play David to Goliath.
Then suddenly, the giant bursts forth. Hunched over, heslams into a stunned Edward, knocking him halfway down thehill.
KARL THE GIANT is bigger than any man you’ve ever seen. Not just tall, but massive. He’s completely feral, with a beardto his elbow and skin scratched and blistered. What remains of his clothes are ragged and muddy. God knows what’s livingin his matted hair.

Karl leans over Edward, blocking the sun. Edward throws his rock, but it just bounces off. The giant didn’t even noticeit.
KARL:
Why are you here?
Edward ponders the best response, settling on...
EDWARD:
So you can eat me. The town decided to send a human sacrifice, and Ivolunteered.
Karl’s eyes narrow, confused. Edward stands up.
EDWARD (cont’d) My arms are a little stringy, butthere’s some good eating on my legs. I mean, I’d be tempted to eat themmyself.
(beat) So I guess, just, if you could get itover with quick. Because I’m not much for pain, really.
Edward closes his eyes, hands at his side, ready to be eaten.
