in all the corners.<br />
The first thing she sees, of course, is the model town. She's<br />
entranced. She peers at it from different angles, and is<br />
dumbfounded with pleasure, her fear forgotten. She continues to<br />
walk about the model, oblivious to everything else.<br />
IN THE MODEL --<br />
BARBARA and ADAM are hiding in the doorway of their appliance<br />
store on MAIN STREET. They look up at CATHY's enormous face<br />
peering down at them.<br />
They see CATHY stop, her gaze focused on them.<br />
CATHY'S ENORMOUS HAND --<br />
reaches down out of the sky towards them.<br />
BACK TO SCENE --<br />
ADAM<br />
Barbara. Stand very still.<br />
CATHY is reaching down into the model. She picks up the BARBARA<br />
figure out of the model. BARBARA does her best imitation of a<br />
wooden Indian. CATHY peers at her very closely.<br />
BARBARA'S POV --<br />
A close-up of CATHY's eye. She sees herself reflected.<br />
BACK TO SCENE --<br />
CATHY puts BARBARA down in the street, and picks up ADAM. ADAM<br />
has plastered a weird smile on his face.<br />
IN THE MODEL --<br />
BARBARA stands in the middle of the street, pretending to be<br />
carved of wood, but she's looking up at CATHY holding ADAM.<br />
BARBARA<br />
(Under her breath) Don't<br />
hurt him, little girl. Please<br />
don't hurt my husband.<br />
CATHY puts ADAM down in the street, but not very near BARBARA.<br />
He doesn't quite have his balance and tips over, falling flat on<br />
his face. CATHY conscientiously rights him.<br />
Despite her fear of being overheard by CATHY, BARBARA calls out<br />
in a hiss.<br />
BACK TO SCENE --<br />
BARBARA<br />
Are you all right?<br />
ADAM<br />
No. Yes.<br />
CATHY continues around the model. She finds a button on the side<br />
of the table on which the model rests, and presses it. The<br />
artificial sun comes on, and bathes the model of Winter River in<br />
sunlight. Then...<br />
A LOUD CRASH --<br />
behind CATHY. She whirls around, barely stifling a scream,<br />
confronting only a push broom that she has brushed from its hook<br />
on the wall.<br />
In recovering from this false scare, she kicks something. She<br />
ducks under the table and comes up with the manual.<br />
She holds the cover up to the light.<br />
CATHY<br />
"Handbook for the Recently<br />
Deceased."<br />
She looks into the model again at the figures of ADAM and<br />
BARBARA. They're now standing together.<br />
CATHY<br />
(Hums the 'Twilight Zone'<br />
theme music)<br />
She looks around the room as if suddenly someone were going to be
