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.
