(ESTABLISHING SHOT: Aerial view of a Florida amusement park- Universe of
Escapade)
(Cut to the park- it's your basic theme park (although one major difference is the presence of a large lake, around which the park is focused; also, since it's October, the place is decked out in all sort of Halloween stuff. Cobwebs hang from the corners of ceilings, there are skeletons strewn at occasional parts of the park, and some small structures that will appear to be more ominous when night falls)
(Camera pans over to the small ordering station of a food building. Behind the counter stands a girl, CHRISTIE ROAD. She is about the same age as KIM and RON and very attractive. She wears a black tank top, a dark-blue jeans and shoulder-length brown hair; she is reading a book that is hidden under the counter. With her free hand, she fingers a gold watch that hangs from her pocket)
(A GUY approaches the booth)
GUY: Are you hurt?
CHRISTIE: What?
GUY: You obviously fell from Heaven, it must have hurt when you hit the ground.
CHRISTIE: Whatever. What do you want- food wise?
GUY: Whatever takes the longest. I just want to gaze into your eyes for a while.
CHRISTIE: (Annoyed) In that case you'll want to order the triple burger.
GUY: How long will that take?
CHRISTIE: This long.
(CHRISTIE whips out the watch and holds it in front of the GUY'S face. He goes into a trance)
CHRISTIE: Now listen to me, Cassa-no-way. I don't need you hitting on me, okay? I don't appreciate it and, to be perfectly blunt, you're bad at it. Why don't you go jump in the lake?
(The GUY turns, walks over to the lake and jumps into it)
GUY: What the?
(The GUY climbs out of the lake and walks off. CHRISTIE chuckles to herself)
VOICE: (OC) Very entertaining.
(CHRISTIE freezes. She turns around to see her very annoyed SUPERVISOR standing behind her)
CHRISTIE: Oh. Hi.
SUPERVISOR: Don't "hi" me. If I've told you once I've told you a thousand times- no hypnosis!
CHRISTIE: Come on, that guy was a jerk.
SUPERVISOR: That's no excuse- you've done it 42 times this month alone!
CHRISTIE: So?
SUPERVISOR: So- you've pushed your luck!
CHRISTIE: What're you gonna do? I'm not afraid of a pay cut. Go ahead, do your worst.
(Cut to the exterior of the park. CHRISTIE is thrown out of the park and lands on her butt. She gets up and turns to face the entrance)
CHRISTIE: You can't fire me! All I did was hypnotize a few people! Is that so wrong? (Beat) Don't answer that! Oh, you're gonna pay! I'll get you! I'll get you all!
(CHRISTIE storms off. A pause. She walks back into frame)
CHRISTIE: Can I have my book back?
(Her book is thrown from OC and hits her in the face. It falls into her arms)
CHRISTIE: Thank you.
(CHRISTIE walks off)
