Excerpt of the script from NightmaresSCENE 4: INT. ABANDONED BUILDING - NIGHT[Nightmare sequence: Angelica steps forward, her flashlight flickering in the darkness of the cluttered room. His feet trip on a broken chair, he falls to the floor with a dull thud. Her flashlight slips from her hand and rolls away. He stops a few meters away, next to a man. He lies face down on the floor, his eyes lifeless. Blood comes out of the throat wound. She screams. Angelica moves away from the corpse. In his haste, his hands involuntarily become covered in the victim's blood. Noticing this, his agitation grows. The teenager stumbles blindly forward. A shadow appears at her side and a clawed hand strangles her. Angelica fights her attacker. She kicks him in the shins. The claw frees her throat. She stumbles to the ground, gasping for breath. The attacker advances towards her, knife in hand. The attacker lunges and Angelica screams as she steps out of the way of the blades. A burgundy-haired teenager pushes her behind him. The teenager confronts her attacker. The knife cuts the boy's forearm and he falls to the ground. His vision blurs. Honk! Sound the horn! Sound the horn! ]SCENE 5: INTERIOR. BUS - LATE AFTERNOON[Angelica wakes up to the sound of a loud horn.]BUS DRIVER: Hey kid! Will you sleep there all day or get off my bus? ANGELICA [Her eyes shift as she notices the empty vehicle. Regain your composure. His voice is hoarse]: Sorry sir, I didn't mean to fall asleep. DRIVER [irritated]: Yes, yes, yes, go ahead, boy. [As Angelica grabs her backpack, she notices blood on her hands and shirt. His eyes widen.] BUS DRIVER [gruffly]: Hey kid! Someday today would be nice.[His... middle of paper...arm, and starts dragging her towards the Reed residence.]TRISTAN [irritated]: Oh, no, don't! Mom forced me to carry you. We drove you here and there's no way I'm going to let you stay in the car.ANGELICA: But you don't...TRISTAN [angry]: Look, we both don't want you to be here. Now, because of you, I have to have a great Friday night babysitting you. If I have to suffer, you have to too. You come in, face him.ANGELICA [scared]: You don't understand!TRISTAN [exasperated]: No, you're right, I don't understand. Why don't you explain it to me? [The two stop in front of the entrance to the house. Tristan releases his hold on Angelica and crosses his arms in annoyance. Angelica remains silent, Tristan rolls his eyes.] That's what I thought. [He shakes his head, grabs her arm once more and forces her through the entrance.]
