Birds chirping, leaves being blown around by the wind etc. Very calm and quiet. 2. Non-diegetic sound. Loud music starts to fade in, along with the sound of a car approaching the scene. 3. Aaron: So I was felt the bite on the end of my rod, pulled it up and it was literally a 100oz carp! 4. Hannah: Okay, sure… my dads caught way bigger anyway… 5. Jay: Nobody cares about your stupid carp! The only fish you should be worrying about is the one in this river. 6. Hannah: If you’re right about this; I don’t think Aaron’s 100oz carp is anything to worry about. 7. Aaron: Yeah, I wouldn’t really call this a ‘fish’, but there’s no way it’s real anyway, so who cares. Let’s get this out of the way so we can go back to my place and watch the game.

This is when all the other attacks have happened. 2. Hannah: Wait, so this is where those other people got attacked? And we’re standing here? Are you using us as live bait or something? 3. Jay: Uhm, well… yes… but, how else are we supposed to see the thing without us being here? It’s not like we can wave around some Scooby Snacks and get it to come to us. 4. Hannah: Are you kidding me? There’s something seriously wrong with you Jay. I’m leaving. 5. Jay: Hannah, wait. We don’t even know if it’s real yet, I mean I know it is but you want to find out just as bad as me, right? 6. Hannah: I did, but not now. I’m not gonna stand here and be eaten alive by a giant fish. I’m going home. 7. Aaron (interrupts): Hey! Quiet for a second! 8. Non-diegetic sound: Silence except for a short, pulsating ringing noise. 9. Jay: Yeah, I hear it, what is that? 10.Hannah: I don’t care. I’m going home. Aaron are you coming or not? 11.Aaron: Wait, I think I see something by the riverbed… 12.Aaron: What is this stuff?
- 4. 13.Jay: You probably shouldn’t touch that stuff… Weird… It looks like a bunch of- tadpoles? I don’t know. They could be eggs. What if it’s reproducing? 14.Hannah: Okay now you’re creeping me the hell out. 15.Aaron (walks toward Hannah): Here, want some? 16.Hannah: Ew! Get that away from me! 17.Aaron: (Laughs) 18.Jay: Uh guys… I don’t mean to worry you, but unless Aaron’s been bulking I don’t think his shadow is that big… 19.Hannah: Aaron! Behind you! 20.Non-diegetic sound. The Neverbody rises and makes a loud screech noise that knocks Aaron over the side of the riverbed. 21.Hannah: I have you Aaron! Grab my hand! 22.Jay: Get in the car! Now!
- 5. Scene 3 Location – Exterior, next day, 11:00 AM. 03:30 – 05:00. (End) 1. Policeman 1: Alright, this is where they reported it. 2. Policeman 2: Yeah, same place again too. 3. Policeman 1: You’d think all the barbed wire and the fencing would stop people from coming here. 4. Policeman 2: Not to mention all the signs littered everywhere. Goddamn kids… At least these ones didn’t die… 5. Policeman 1: Yeah, but now they can blabber about it to their friends, if this gets out our jobs are on the line. 6. Policeman 2: Don’t worry, even if they do nobody will believe them. As long as we deny it, it’ll be us against them. And nobodies going to believe a bunch of kids over us. 7. Policeman 1: True. But this is getting out of hand. We need to do something about it. 8. Policeman 2: What do you suggest we do? Last time we tried moving the damn thing we lost 6 of our guys. You know how hard it was going on live television and saying it was because of a diving accident? I’m not doing that again. 9. Policeman 1: There’s not much we can do. Just put up a few signs saying the river is polluted and not to go near it. 10. Policeman 2: Okay. Will do.
