1.)
(Vitus rushes into the room.)
VITUS: ANGELA!
2.)
(Angela sits sideways on a chair, casually.)
ANGELA: Yes?
3.)
(Vitus is relieved, throwing back a hand on his head dramatically)
VITUS: Oh thank God.
I thought--
4.)
(Vitus points back at the door, Angela doesn't look up as she works on something in her lap.)
VITUS: Who was at
the door?
ANGELA: Hm? Oh it was
just a maid
coming to pick
up the towels.
Why the fuss?
5.)
(Sombreta has red ribbon wrapped around her hand as she speaks)
ANGELA: Anyhow, remember that
magic I had talked of? It is so simple.
One just pins the
prepared nails
through a scrap
of paper.
6.)
(Angela explains as she winds the ribbon around the nail, Vitus taking it in)
ANGELA: The paper has a name
inscribed. That person’s
soul will be pinned
to our world. It only works
for a short
time though--
7.)
(Sombreta and Vitus look up at the sound of the doorbell)
FX: DING
OFF SCREEN UNKNOWN: I'll get it...
8.)
(A familiar maid answers the door, her eyes bloodshot and her face and hair sweaty. Vitus tries to stop her in vain.)
VITUS: NO!
EDITH: Yes sir please come in
9.)
(Theodore steps in the door, holding his sword. Edith leaves, a bit of her bloody ear visible.)
THEODORE: Thank you
Edith.
10.)
(Theodore drops several horseshoes which clang against the word-- Sombreta's weakness.)
FX: KLANG
11.)
(Vitus and Sombreta are flabbergasted, speechless.)
12.)
(Theodore saunters in the room, posing casually with his sword.)
THEODORE: Hello. Well,
‘en garde’
then.
13.)
(Vitus holds out an arm to protect Sombreta, who is still shocked by the enemy's arrival.)
VITUS: I won’t let
you harm
her!
THEODORE: Ugh,
you little
gnat!
14.)
(Theodore frowns.)
THEODORE:
Jack just asked
that I don’t
kill you. Don’t make
me disappoint
him!
15.)
(Vitus is confused, Sombreta hides behind him.)
VITUS: Jack...?
Wh--
He told
you--
THEODORE: Yes! Just
today!
16.)
(Theodore slashes Vitus in the face with the sword as Sombreta looks on in terror.)
THEODORE: He’s
MY FRIEND
now!!
19.)
(Vitus has fallen, blood running from his wounded face, several cuts on his jacket from subsequent attacks. Theodore rests a foot on him saucily.)
VITUS: U-use the
nails!
THEODORE: Are you
done?
20.)
(Sombreta looks on in horror, lifting the nail with one hand.)
THEODORE (off screen): As for you,
Jack made
no special
request.
14.)
(Theodore laughs most eerily.)
THEODORE: HA HA HA HA HA
