As from a great distance she hears ADAM's voice.<br />
ADAM<br />
Barbara!<br />
She turns slowly in the dense sand that covers the surface of<br />
this distant moon.<br />
BARBARA'S POV --<br />
ADAM is struggling towards her. Behind him, hovering isolated in<br />
the air, is the kitchen door.<br />
BACK TO SCENE --<br />
ADAM at last catches up to her.<br />
Behind them, something is burrowing rapidly towards them through<br />
the sand. The Something looks as if it might be right out of<br />
DUNE.<br />
BARBARA and ADAM watch for a moment, and then realize that it<br />
just might be a very fine idea if they got the hell out of t<strong>here</strong>.<br />
They turn and run towards the kitchen door.<br />
The kitchen door has moved, but they veer in the new direction.<br />
The Something gets right up to them and rises out of the sand.<br />
Whatever it is is very big, very nasty, and very hungry.<br />
ADAM and BARBARA slip and sink in the sand as they are pursued by<br />
THE BEAST. They make it through the door just in time, swing it<br />
open and hurl themselves through.<br />
The door shuts with a bang.<br />
The BEAST roars and roars in frustration, howling to the ringed<br />
planet.<br />
INT: THE KITCHEN -- DAY<br />
The kitchen is very much as it was when ADAM and BARBARA were<br />
alive, and boy it sure feels good after a stint on Titan.<br />
BARBARA, weeping, throws herself in ADAM's arms.<br />
ADAM<br />
It's okay, kiddo. This house<br />
may not be heaven for us any<br />
more, but at least it isn't<br />
hell.<br />
As if demolishing ADAM's assurances, a 2500-pound, gleaming, sixburner,<br />
double-oven Vulcan stove crashes through the breakfast<br />
nook windows, and drops into place.<br />
Outside can be seen the truck and crane which delivered this<br />
monstrous piece of culinary extravagance.<br />
BARBARA and ADAM duck out of its path, stumbling into the dining<br />
room.<br />
INT: DINING ROOM -- DAY<br />
W<strong>here</strong> they are greeted with hot blasts of noisy steam from the<br />
guns of the WALLAPAPER REMOVERS, dressed in satanic red<br />
jumpsuits, wearing Walkmans that resemble horns.<br />
BARBARA and ADAM stumble through to the living room, w<strong>here</strong> --<br />
INT: LIVING ROOM -- DAY<br />
-- they are bombarded with plaster splinters and dust, and the<br />
ear-shattering noise of drills, hammers, and electric saws,<br />
carving up the ceiling to make room for DELIA's water clock<br />
(which we'll see later).<br />
Aghast, BARBARA and ADAM flee up the stairs to the second floor.<br />
AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS --<br />
A six-foot diameter spool of cable comes barrelling down towards<br />
them, in a parody of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. They rush back<br />
down the stairs, and then, without knowing how they accomplish<br />
it, ADAM and BARBARA make a deft and ghostly hurdle over it to<br />
the second floor landing.
