(Demetri glances back at the plume of steam coming from behind a tree.)
DEMETRI: Ah, a heavy breather
behind that tree.

we’ll be
thrilled.

(Demetri and Jack look on, intrigued.)
DEMETRI: ...Now that’s
a surprise.
4.)
(Demetri begins his defense, Jack is in the blurred background, raising an eyebrow.)
DEMETRI: Why would you
think that?
5.)
(Jack comes into focus, leaning forward and looking startled.)
DEMETRI: More importantly,
what do you hope
to accomplish?

(Jack steps back with a freaked out face.)
DEMETRI: I assure that whatever evidence

(Jack steps back as Karl approaches.)
KARL: You look really
different, I didn’t--
I mean...
12.)

(Karl calls into the darkness.)
KARL: Jack?

(Karl has a sudden realization, casting about uselessly in the darkness.)
KARL: Oh god no!
The Grey Menace!
