about "Rewards and Punishments"<br />
or "Heaven and Hell".<br />
Wait, maybe this is something,<br />
under "Geographical and Temporal<br />
Perimeters." (Reading)<br />
"Functional perimeters vary<br />
from manifestation to manifestation."<br />
It really does<br />
sound like the IRS had a<br />
hand in this.<br />
He looks up but BARBARA is now<strong>here</strong> to be seen in the room.<br />
ADAM<br />
Barbara! W<strong>here</strong> --<br />
The closet door swings slowly open, so that the full-length<br />
mirror inside the door is directly facing ADAM in bed.<br />
But it's not ADAM who's reflected, holding the Handbook on top of<br />
the covers, it's BARBARA.<br />
ADAM<br />
How did you get in t<strong>here</strong>?<br />
BARBARA<br />
I walked through. It's<br />
easy.<br />
ADAM<br />
What's it like?<br />
INT: BEDROOM IN MIRROR -- NIGHT<br />
The bedroom is reversed, but t<strong>here</strong> are other things different<br />
too. The room just fades out on the edges, and beyond is the<br />
great void that ADAM was in earlier.<br />
BARBARA begins to feel frightened. She peers at her side of the<br />
mirror and sees ADAM in bed on the other side. The image is dark<br />

back into the real world.<br />
INT: THE REAL BEDROOM -- NIGHT<br />
ADAM looks at his wife. BARBARA is shaken.<br />
ADAM<br />
The handbook discourages<br />
that sort of experimentation.<br />
Trans-dimensional instabilities,<br />
whatever that<br />
means.<br />
BARBARA<br />
I've got a pretty good<br />
idea.<br />
EXT: WINTER RIVER DOWNTOWN MAIN STREET -- DAY<br />
Showing the appliance store, with a black wreath on top of the<br />
GONE ON VACATION sign.<br />
Across the street is JANE BUTTERFIELD'S REAL ESTATE AGENCY.<br />
IN THE WINDOW OF THE REAL ESTATE AGENCY --<br />
JANE is squeezed between the glass and a large cork board,<br />
bearing the legend AVAILABLE PROPERTIES OF DISTINCTION. She is<br />
putting up a new photograph of ADAM and BARBARA's house.<br />
At the same time, she's talking into a telephone with a long<br />
cord.<br />
JANE<br />
It came out of probate only
