Sample dialogue
We can't penetrate it, everything detonates before it even gets close! Ray's heard enough. He grabs hold of Rachel and they crawl out of the pit and run in the opposite direction, down the hill. They near the bottom of the hill, still nowhere to go but forward, ahead, away, but that won't do, they won't survive, and just before panic hits -- VOICE (0.8.) OVER HERE! OVER HERE! -- he hears a VOICE and whirls. The Burly Man, the one they saw coming out of the old Victorian house with a rifle before, is fifty yards to the left, gesturing wildly to them. Ray and Rachel change course and head toward him, running as fast as their legs will carry them. The Burly Man turns and takes off, waving them to follow, and they do, toward the house, just beyond a stand of trees. 110-115 OMITTED 110-115 116 EXT OLD HOUSE NIGHT 116 The ROAR of the battle is still deafening as Ray and Rachel tear across the front lawn of the old house, following the Burly Man. He doesn't go in the front door, but instead to the side of the house, where he throws open a storm cellar door. 117. =INT OLD HOUSE - CELLAR NIGHT 117
