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 />

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
