William has a strained relationship with Edward because his father has always told exaggerated stories about his life, and William thinks he's never really told the truth. Even on his deathbed, Edward recounts fantastical anecdotes. When William, who is a journalist, starts to investigate his father's tales, he begins to understand the man and his penchant for storytelling.

MILDRED:
Jenny thinks you’re quite a catch. We all do.
EDWARD:
(not hearing) What?
MILDRED:
I said you’re quite a catch!
Edward stops dancing. A beat, then he heads for the edge ofthe crowd. Beamen is there, with Jenny on his shoulders.
EDWARD:
I have to leave. Tonight.
BEAMEN:
Why?
EDWARD:
This town is everything a man could askfor. And if I were to end up here, I’dconsider myself lucky. But the fact is, I’m not ready to end up anywhere.
BEAMEN:
No one’s ever left.
JENNY:
How are you gonna make it without yourshoes?
EDWARD:
I suspect it will hurt a lot.
And with that, Edward walks down Main Street. The townspeople stop dancing, disbelieving, some shaking theirheads.
Poor Edward Bloom’s gone crazy.
43.
BEAMEN:
(calling after him) You won’t find a better place!
EDWARD:
I don’t expect to.
Jenny runs to him. She’d tackle him if she could.
JENNY:
Promise me you’ll come back.
EDWARD:
I promise. Someday. When I’m reallysupposed to.
It’s not good enough, but it will have to do. Edward keepswalking.
EXT. THE DARK FOREST - NIGHT VARIOUS SHOTS: Edward negotiates the thorns in his barefeet. It’s horrible. Almost unendurable.
And then it gets worse.
The trees ahead are moving. At first, it just seems to bethe wind blowing the branches, but as we hear the woodCRACKING and GROANING, there’s no mistaking it: they’retrying to block him.
Snake-like WHITE ROOTS shoot out of the ground, grabbing forhis ankles. He leaps up, kicking off one tree trunk to grabanother one’s branches. He swings off, lands and rolls. Now all the trees are moving to block him, their dark shapestowering over him in the flashes of LIGHTNING.
EDWARD (V.O.) As difficult as it was to reach Spectre, I was fated to get thereeventually. After all, no man canavoid reaching the end of his life.
As he ducks under branches, the chain holding the Key to theCity gets caught. He’s almost strangled, but the chainfinally breaks. The silver key disappears into the mud.
