EXT. PARK – DAY
EVE
is skipping along a trail in a park. She
is dressed in clothing from the 1920’s that a school girl would wear. She goes past a tree, and a man in a SNAKE
costume comes slithering out from behind it.
Eve is startled and stops. The snake-man
waggles his eyebrows at her and grabs her, bending her over backwards over his
arm. He nuzzles her neck and she
swoons. Her head falls back toward the
ground and she can see behind her.
We
see ADAM walking toward her. He has
glasses and a suit with bow-tie. He is
looking at a picture of Eve and is holding flowers for her. He puts the picture in his pocket and brings
out a small box which he opens. Inside,
there is an engagement ring. He puts the
ring back in his pocket.
Eve
stands up quickly, looking distraught.
The snake-man is circling her with his hands on her shoulders in a
predatory manner. His tongue is darting
in and out of his mouth. Adam reaches
them and is visibly crushed to see Eve with the snake.
Adam
offers Eve the flowers and the snake sneers at him, grabbing Eve’s hand and
pulling her close.
Eve
is looking at the snake, mesmerized; their faces inches apart. The snake’s tongue is darting in and
out.
Adam
taps the snake on the shoulder and the snake turns around. Adam Bounces around in a
boxing/put-up-your-dukes manner and the snake dismissively turns away from Adam
and pulls an apple from the tree, holding it out to Eve. Eve reaches for it.
INT. HOLE/CHASM – BLACK
Eve
is falling a la
INT. UNDERGROUND/RIVER
Eve
lands and is wearing a toga. She is
standing beside a river with fires billowing along the sides of it. She looks around bewildered.
HADES
in scythe toting regalia stalks toward her.
He offers her gold and clothing and jewels, all of which she
refuses. He then holds out half of a
pomegranate, overflowing with seeds. She
looks at it hungrily, licking her lips.
He takes a few seeds, which he seductively eats. She snatches the pomegranate and begins
ravenously devouring a handful of the dark seeds.
INT. CAVE/TUNNEL – DARKNESS
OF CAVES
Eve
is walking forward in high-speed, jerkily into another cavern.
INT. PALACE/BEDROOM – MORNING
Eve
is now dressed as Cleopatra. Marc-Antony comes in with a bloody sword. He drops to her knees and kisses her
hand. He stands in the doorway with his
sword drawn. CEASAR comes into the door
and there is arguing and pointing toward Eve.
The men begin fighting with swords and end up killing each other. Eve weeps over the bodies. She stands in front of her couch and takes a
small pottery vessel from the table in front of it and removes the lid. She pulls a small snake out and it wraps
around her wrist. She acts as though
she’s in pain and stares at the bowl of fruit on the table in front of the
couch. She picks up and apple and stares
at it. She takes a bite.
EXT. PARK – DAY
She
is now dressed as Snow White. She falls
to the ground and the apple falls away from her hand.
