house is replete with extras<br />
and amenities sure to please<br />
the discriminating buyer, such<br />
as yourself. (Beat) I know<br />
you'll love the place, Mrs.<br />

The fit in the window is so tight that JANE gets stuck. In<br />
trying to get out, she slips and falls sideways, and is caught<br />
even more securely in the twisted telephone cord. Two children<br />

INT: ATTIC AND MODEL TOWN -- DAY<br />
The model town looks to be thriving. ADAM's obviously had plenty<br />
of time for his hobby lately.<br />
Right now, ADAM is setting up a small monument in the town<br />
cemetery. It reads ADAM AND BARBARA MAITLAND / UNITED IN LIFE/<br />
UNDIVIDED IN DEATH.<br />
ADAM<br />
Do you think this is<br />
heaven?<br />
BARBARA<br />
In heaven t<strong>here</strong> wouldn't<br />
be stains on the wallpaper.<br />
ADAM<br />
This is how I always<br />
imagined heaven. Being in<br />
this house. With you.<br />
With time to do all the things<br />
I never had time to do before.<br />
INT: GUEST BEDROOM -- DAY<br />
This is the bedroom with ADAM and BARBARA's wedding photograph in<br />
it.<br />
BARBARA stands leaning against the sill of the window, looking<br />
out over distant Winter River.<br />
ADAM comes in behind her.<br />
ADAM<br />
Cabin fever?<br />
BARBARA<br />
What?<br />
ADAM<br />
Do you feel trapped? We're<br />
not allowed to leave the house.<br />
BARBARA<br />
No. I don't feel trapped.<br />
I never imagined death would<br />
be like this. I'm so happy.<br />
Sometimes I just wonder how<br />
long it's going to last. How<br />
long we're going to be allowed<br />
to stay <strong>here</strong>.<br />
INT: LIVING ROOM -- DAY<br />
BARBARA and ADAM are dancing to Artie Shaw. The Manual lies open<br />
on the coffee table.<br />
ADAM continues the conversation from upstairs.
