"At the Factory"

[The kids approach the gate in Pleasantville]

Amber:

Come on. [knocks on the gate]

Lori:

[opens the shutter] What do you want?

Amber:

We're heading for the Factory.

Lori:

[opens gate] Crunksvilleans! Four Crunksvilleans! What business brings you to Pleasantville?

Amber:

We want to stay at the inn. Our business is our own.

Lori:

Alright, missy, I meant no offense. It's my job to ask questions after dark. There's talk of strange folk around here… can't be too careful.

[The kiddies approach the Factory and enter it. Inside it is practically deserted]

Amber:

[walks up to the counter, which is empty, and peers over it] Excuse me? Anyone here?

Danny:

Of course there's someone here. He's right there in front of you. [points]

Amber:

What? Where do you see him?

Danny:

[points] Right there.

Jordan:

…[leans over to Warren and whispers] Is he hallucinating again?

Warren:

No it's only Em that does that…

Amber:

What's this man look like?

Danny:

Oh hmm… green hair, green eyeliner, patterns that clash on his clothing…

Jordan:

…Vince?

Amber:

Vince? Like… Imaginary Fiend Vince?

Jordan:

[nods]

Danny:

Don't you see him?

Jordan:

No, they don't see him because they don't believe in him.

[The three other kids turn and look at the spot where Danny's pointing. Vince appears]

Vince:

Hey little buddies! Are the kiddies looking for a place to stay? Vince will find some nice rooms! Vince is always willing to help, Miss…

Amber:

…Brownleaf. My name's Brownleaf.

Vince:

Hmm… Brownleaf…

Amber:

We're friends of Misty Avery. Can you tell her we've arrived?

Vince:

Misty? Misty? Ohhh, yes! Vince remembers! Crazy lady, friend of Little Buddy, sings a lot, always up for playtime. [smiles] Vince hasn't seen her for a year.

[The kids are shocked. Worry crosses their faces]

Danny:

What do we do now?

[Scene cuts to the kiddies sitting at a table. Amber looks worried, as does Danny]

Amber:

Danny. She'll be here. She'll come.

Warren:

[sits down at the table with a drink]

Jordan:

What's that?

Warren:

This my friend, is an Open Grave.

Jordan:

They have Open Graves here? I'm getting one. [walks off]

Amber:

An Open Grave would kill you!!

Danny:

[nudges Amber and points to a cloaked figure in the corner] That lady's done nothing but stare at you since we got here.

Amber:

[stops Vince as he walks past and points]

Excuse me. That girl in the corner. Who is she?

Vince:

[looks in the corner] She's one of those Crazies. Dangerous people, they are, with their dangerousness. What her right name is, I've never heard, but 'round here, she's known as Nutmeg.

Amber:

Nutmeg…

[Amber fingers the handle of the Umbrella]

Umbrella:

Greenleaf. Greenleaf. Greenleaf. Greenleaf! Greenleaf!

Jordan:

Greenleaf?

[Amber snaps out of it and looks over to the bar, where Jordan is sitting piss-drunk talking with the others]

Jordan:

Sure I know Greenleaf! She's over there! [points] Amber Greenleaf! She's my uncle's girlfriend! Little sister of my aunt's husband!

[Amber rushes to the bar]

Amber:

Jordan! [grabs his arm, causing him to spill some of the Open Grave]

Jordan:

Steady on Amber!

[Amber trips and falls backwards, sending the Umbrella flying. As she hits the ground she reaches up to catch the Umbrella and her hand slides, opening it. She disappears. Pleasantvilleans gasp in surprise. The 'punks' are alerted and make for Pleasantville. Amber, now in the Rainy World, looks around mystified. She then sees an immense singular orb, a lidless eye. The Eye of Raejae stares down at her]

Voice of Raejae:

You cannot hide. I see you! There is no life in the void, only death!
