Page 25:

  • INT. KITCHEN – LATE NIGHT

  • Nicholas and Penelope finally get home. Nicholas flips on the kitchen light. Abraham Lincoln’s Head lies face down on the table, the remains of his health shake spilled around him.

  • LINCOLN’S HEAD
  • (in his sleep)
  • The greatest president since Ben Franklin.

  • PENELOPE PENELOPE
  • Isn’t he cute.

  • Nicholas flips the light back off and they tiptoe past.

  • EXT. COMMERCIAL DISTRICT – DAY

  • Nicholas walks along the shoulder. The sun is out but it’s freezing.

  • EXT. PARKING LOT – DAY

  • The car is exactly where they left it. Nicholas is behind the wheel with the door open. She still won’t start.

  • NICHOLAS FREDLAND
  • Nuts.

  • A STRANGE BIGFOOT-LIKE CREATURE emerges from the small patch of woods that border the parking lot. Nicholas watches it with a stunned expression.

  • The creature stops directly in front of the car. It places both its hands on the hood. Nicholas and the creature stare at one another.

  • BIGFOOT-LIKE CREATURE
  • (in primitive bigfoot language)
  • Gree-no karamel.

  • Without taking his gaze from the creature, Nicholas’ hand goes to the key in the ignition.

  • The car starts.

  • The creature breaks eye contact and walks back into the small wooded area. The creature goes, maybe, six feet back into the trees and sits down. It stares out at Nicholas.

  • Nicholas closes the car door and drives out of the parking lot. He takes one last look at the woods before he drives off. The creature just sits there.
