Starring : Felicia, Luke, & Tony

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

LUKE: COME IN.

FELICIA: TONY?

LUKE: NO, LUKE. IT'S CUSTOMARY TO GREET THE GUY SITTING IN THE ROOM.

FELICIA: HELLO, LUKE.

LUKE: HI.

FELICIA: HE SAID THAT HE LOOKED AT THE SKULLS AND THAT HE WAS BRINGING THEM BACK RIGHT AWAY?

LUKE: YES. AND BELIEVE ME, I'M AS ANXIOUS TO SEE THOSE LITTLE BONEHEADS AS YOU ARE. IT'S NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO BUTT AGAINST, YOU KNOW?

FELICIA: MM-HMM. LAST NIGHT I HAD THIS TERRIBLE DREAM THAT THERE WERE TWO MEN AT THE FOOT OF MY BED, EDWARD'S FATHER AND THAT MAN WHO'S -- OR WHOEVER IT IS THAT'S SPENDING ETERNITY WITH HIM IN THAT CRYPT. THEY WANTED THEIR HEADS BACK. "WE WANT OUR HEADS BACK. WE WANT OUR HEADS BACK. BACK. BACK."

LUKE: WHY? DID THEY SAY?

FELICIA: I WAS THRASHING AROUND SO MUCH IN THAT BED, I PUSHED MAC OUT AND ONTO THE FLOOR.

LUKE: OH, I'M SURE THAT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT HAPPENED.

FELICIA: I'M SO SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. I WANT TO PUT THOSE SKULLS BACK WITH THEIR REMAINS AND I WANT TO STOP LYING TO MY HUSBAND AND I WANT TO JUST STOP GENERALLY ACTING LIKE A CRIMINAL.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

FELICIA: OH, THANK GOODNESS. COME ON IN.

TONY: HELLO.

LUKE: HOW'D THE BOYS ENJOY THEIR FIELD TRIP?

TONY: OH, NO WORSE FOR THE WEAR.

FELICIA: I'M SURE YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT BECAUSE THERE PROBABLY ISN'T ANYTHING TO REPORT.

TONY: I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.

Next Scene

TONY: SO THIS SKULL COMES FROM AN ADULT MALE. IT'S PROBABLY 60 YEARS OLD.

LUKE: THIS ONE?

TONY: RIGHT. AND I CAN'T TELL YOU THE CAUSE OF DEATH. THERE'S DEFINITELY NO SKULL TRAUMA OR SKULL FRACTURE HERE. IT'S ACTUALLY IN VERY GOOD SHAPE.

LUKE: WELL, WE KNOW THE QUARTERMAINES ARE HARDHEADED. WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE?

TONY: ANOTHER ADULT MALE. YOUNGER, POSSIBLY EARLY TO MID 20'S. BUT TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

LUKE: RIGHT. THAT. I NOTICED THAT. THAT'S AN INDENTATION, ISN'T IT?

TONY: YES, A BLOW TO THE HEAD THAT PERFORATED THE SKULL.

LUKE: AND THERE'S NO WAY THAT COULD'VE HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PRACTICING MY BOWLING?

FELICIA: HE DIDN'T REALLY DO THAT. HE JUST WANTS ME TO GRAB HIS NECK AND SQUEEZE IT.

LUKE: WELL --

TONY: WELL, IT WOULDN'T MATTER IF HE HAD. THE DISCOLORATION, THE PRESENCE OF PARTICULATE MATTER AT THE APERTURE -- THESE ARE ALL CHARACTERISTIC OF AN INJURY THAT AFFECTS NOT JUST THE SKULL BUT THE LIVING TISSUE BOTH IN AND OUT, AND IT'S NOT AN INJURY THAT'S HEALED, OBVIOUSLY. IT PROBABLY HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE THE TIME OF DEATH, PROBABLY CAUSED THE DEATH.

LUKE: AND YOU THINK IT CAME FROM, WHAT, A FALL, A PIANO DROPPING ON HIS HEAD?

TONY: WELL, COULD'VE BEEN POSSIBLY A FALL ON A SHARP ROCK, BUT EVEN THEN, THE SIZE AND THE POSITION OF THE BREAK PRETTY MUCH PRECLUDE ANY KIND OF ACCIDENTAL CAUSE THAT COMES TO MIND -- UNLESS, OF COURSE, HE JUST HAPPENED TO WALK INTO THE PATH OF A FLYING HAMMER.

LUKE: AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT SOMEBODY WAS HOLDING THAT HAMMER, RIGHT?

TONY: YEAH. AND THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YOU. IN FACT, I DIDN'T EVEN TELL YOU THAT BECAUSE I WASN'T HERE.

LUKE: NO, AND I DIDN'T CALL YOU, SO HOW COULD YOU?

FELICIA: THANK YOU, TONY.

TONY: YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAD TO BE OBSESSED WITH SOMETHING, WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN TAE-BO?

FELICIA: SORRY.

TONY: BYE.

LUKE: THANKS, TONE. SO WOULD A LITTLE "I TOLD YOU SO" BE PUSHING IT?

FELICIA: JUST PUT THEM BACK IN THE BAG. LET'S GO.

LUKE: WELL, OK, BUT I THOGHT THEY LOOKED A LOT MORE LIFELIKE IN MY SAFE.

FELICIA: VACATION IS OVER. IT'S TIME TO GO HOME.

Next Scene

FELICIA: OK, BE CAREFUL. DON'T LOCK US IN.

LUKE: WELL, NOW, WE CAN'T LEAVE IT WIDE OPEN THERA WATCHMAN, REMEMBER? STAND RIGHT THERE. I'LL SEEK THIS --

FELICIA: OK.

LUKE: SEAL AGAIN. YEP, IT'S STE. OK. CAN YOU GIVE ME A HAND? NOW, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY SLOWLY, I'M GOING TO RELEASE THE TOP --

FELICIA: OK.

LUKE: AND WE'LL JUST LET IT -- OK.

FELICIA: OK. LUKE: YOU READY?

FELICIA: YEAH. AH! LUKE: WHOA! WHOA!

FELICIA: AH! AH! AH!

LUKE: SHH! DON'T -- EASY. PUSH IT BACK. PLEASE DON'T SCREAM. FELICIA: WHY?

LUKE: WELL, THERE'S A WATCHMAN OUT THERE, REMEMBER?

FELICIA: OH, MY GOD. DO YOU THINK HE HEARD US?

LUKE: WELL, THE CHANCES ARE SLIM TO NONE, SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. WE GOT TO DO THIS AGAIN.

FELICIA: OK. LUKE: IT'S VERY HEAVY, REMEMBER. SLOWLY, OK?

FELICIA: SLOWLY.

LUKE: READY?

FELICIA: MM-HMM.

LUKE: OK. HERE WE GO.

FELICIA: OK.

LUKE: PUSH! OK.

FELICIA: YEAH. OK.

LUKE: SHE'S SEALED UP. ALL RIGHT. THE BOYS ARE HOME. THEY'RE SLEEPING AGAIN. WE CAN GO.

FELICIA: OK. IN A MINUTE.

LUKE: WHAT? OH. OK. WELL, YOU GO AHEAD. MY ATHEISM'S ACTING UP AGAIN. I'LL GIVE YOU A MOMENT'S SILENCE.

FELICIA: LORD, PLEASE RECEIVE THE SOULS OF GEORGE ALAN QUARTERMAINE AND WHOEVER ELSE IS IN THERE. MAY THEY REST IN ETERNAL PEACE. AMEN.

LUKE: AMEN. THAT MEANS, LIKE, "THAT'S ALL, FOLKS," RIGHT?

FELICIA: RIGHT.

LUKE: OK, LET'S GO.

FELICIA: LET'S GO. THANK YOU.
