KARL:
What did she say?
EDWARD:
Beats me.
EXT. ROAD - DAY We TILT UP from the road to reveal Edward and Karl walkingout of Ashton. Each wears a backpack with all his earthlypossessions.
33.
EDWARD (V.O.) There were two roads out of Ashton, anew one which was paved, and an olderone that wasn’t. People didn’t use theold road anymore, and it had developedthe reputation of being haunted.
Edward and Karl come to a bend, where the paved road veersleft and an overgrown dirt road runs straight. The old road is blocked with signs and warnings of danger.
EDWARD (V.O.) (cont’d) Since I had no intention of ever returning to Ashton, this seemed asgood a time as any to find out what laydown that old road.
Karl looks at the dirt road, wary.
KARL:
You know anyone’s who’s taken it?
EDWARD:
That poet, Norther Winslow did. He was going to Paris, France. He must have liked it, because no one ever heardfrom him again.
(beat) Tell you what. You take the other wayand I’ll cut through here. Meet you onthe far side.
A little paranoid...
KARL:
You’re not trying to run away?
EDWARD:
Just to be sure, you can take my pack.
Karl perks up, even though it means more for him to carry.
EXT. DIRT ROAD - DAY The road is overgrown, but not altogether creepy. The sun is still shining, and the birds still CHIRPING.
Spinning the Key to the City, Edward WHISTLES, because it’s aday meant for whistling.
34.
EXT. FURTHER ALONG - ROUGH PATH The road has narrowed to a rough path. Spikes of sunlightbreak through the thick canopy, catching particles in theair. Still, Edward WHISTLES.
Coming around a bend, his PITCH DROPS as he sees thick, thorny vines growing across the path. He stops. For the first time, he realizes the birds have stopped singing. The forest is dead quiet.
He looks back the way he came. It’s tempting to go back. It would be easier to go back. But Edward presses on.
He carefully steps through the thorns. His trouser legscatch on the barbs. We can hear the fabric TEAR.
FURTHER ALONG: A scratched and sweaty Edward waves off various STINGING BUGSflying at him, finally whipping off his hat to swat at them.
Just then a CAWING crow swoops down and grabs the hat rightout of his hands.
EDWARD:
You stupid sonofa... He stops his swearing, but grabs a rock and throws it. The stone ricochets off a tree and into a BEE’S NEST. The swarm roars out.
