Gabi opens the door to the darkened house and lets Brigitte walk in. Then she switches on the light and he comes in and closes the door. Brigitte removes her jacket and sits on the couch, then Gabi sits next to her.
BRIGITTE
Shit, this plan is completely inhumane!
GABI
It's dangerous, too.
Brigitte worriedly puts her face in her hands.
BRIGITTE
I can't believe this is happening. I can't even do anything about it, she's completely taking control, and she's dead!
GABI
Just calm down. Everything will hopefully work out fine.
BRIGITTE
I know, but...
She takes off her hands and faces him.
BRIGITTE
What if it doesn't?
GABI
What?
BRIGITTE
I mean, there's a huge chance it won't work. If the switch really does work, what if she comes back for revenge? Plus, this entire plan is just so terrible! It's just not right!
GABI
I understand what you mean. It'll all be okay.
He hugs her.
BRIGITTE
I'm just so worried, you know?
GABI
I know.
BRIGITTE
If this doesn't work, then my happy ending won't be coming any time soon, and I'll be in Hell. I am in Hell right now.
GABI
You're not in Hell, I'm here.
BRIGITTE (whisper)
I know, but don't you get it? I feel like I dragged you down with me!
GABI
No, no! Don't think that!
He grabs her head.
GABI (Cont.)
You can't think that way, you can't!
BRIGITTE
Why not? It's true!
GABI
No, it's not true. It's a lie. Don't listen to the demon that is teeling you this.
BRIGITTE
I can't help it! I mean, I'm wondering if this is all being synchronized! What if I'm not real? What if my problem's not real, my anguish? What if this is all just a fucking snowglobe monitored by a higher power?
GABI
You mean like God?
BRIGITTE
No, I don't believe in God.
GABI
What about Satan?
BRIGITTE
No, nothing like that! I mean, like, a human or group of people...
GABI
But, what would be the purpose behind this?
BRIGITTE
I don't know, but I do know that I feel like something's not right. There's just something off, don't you see that?
GABI
What do you mean?
BRIGITTE
I was born in the 1700's, frozen, and now I'm a werewolf? With strangely bad luck? With a ghost sister? Something's really, really wrong here!
GABI
I don't think this. I think that other things exist out there, not just humans who are born, lead painstakingly monotonous lives, then die. That's the part that's inconceivable, that's the part that's not right!
BRIGITTE
I don't think you know what I'm saying, here.
GABI
Please explain.
BRIGITTE
Oh, how do I explain?
She lies her head back and closes her eyes.
BRIGITTE
The military, I believe, is behind this. Because they left out an extremely important detail that I have always wondered about- I was infected all of those years ago, and Ginger was disinfected, or at least that's what they told us. But that's not what they told me, and that's what's so wrong. I was infected when I killed myself! But I hadn't gotten far enough in the transformation for them to tell, and this is a huge hole. I was cured, without them explaining why.
GABI
Pambihira yan (that's strange)..
BRIGITTE
Yeah, no kidding. This isn't ordinary. Something is controlling this, something that-
There is the sound of a scream. Brigitte and Gabi exchange looks and jump off the couch.
CUT TO:
EXT.ALLEY- NIGHT
They run up to an OLD MAN, screaming in horror at ShayShay. SHAYSHAY is a very bruised little girl, with a bloody lip. She is very tiny, and she has a blank look on her face. Brigitte's face freezes in utter terror as she sees what the scream was about. Ginger is lurking behind ShayShay in the darkness, with a hand on her shoulder. She grins with her sharp teeth and leans down, then a huge dark cloud engulfs them both, leaving no vision of what is going on.
OLD MAN
HINDI!
He runs to the cloud and touches it, but it sends an electric volt through him and hurls him away, unconcsious. All of a sudden, the smoke clears, and ShayShay is sitting with a smile. Unnatural, considering how unhappy she was. Ginger is standing behind her. We ZOOM IN on Brigitte's ear as Ginger's mouth leans down to whisper...
GINGER
Let it begin.
