(on phone)
Yes I know. I’ll make sure to
have it on your desk by tomorrow.
Hang on a second.
(to Emily)
Emily! Don’t just be moping around.
Go and make yourself useful.

EMILY
(staring straight ahead)
Ever since Danni started dated that
guy she never has time for me.

LIZZY
(on phone)
No I’m still here.
(to Emily)
Your sister’s growing up. That’s
life. Now stop sulking!

The party is set in a hall.

Over the shoulder shot through conversation.
Mark is with his friend DOMINIC. He is 17 years old, with ginger hair and is wearing jeans and a chequered shirt.
They are sweeping up the mess from the party.

DOMINIC
Remind me again why I’m helping
tidy up your party?

MARK
Because you know I’d beat you to
a pulp if you didn’t.

DOMINIC
Oh, you think you can take me? Huh?
Come on then, try your best shot.

They begin to play fight.
Danielle appears at the door. She is drunk and is holding a bottle of wine. Close up on wine.
They notice her and stop.

MARK
Danielle. I thought you had gone home.

DANIELLE
I’m not interrupting anything am I?

DOMINIC
Um… I’m going to take the leftover
food to the kitchen. Leave you two
alone.

He picks up a tray of food and heads to the door.
As he passes Mark he playfully punches him.
He exits to the kitchen.
Danielle walks towards Mark.

INT. HALLWAY

Dominic opens the door to the kitchen and a broom falls out, making him jump and drop the food. He sighs and begins to pick it up.

Meet me in the bathroom.

She smiles at him and exits, taking a swig from the bottle as she does so.

Mark goes to head to the bathroom to join Danielle.
A CLOWN is standing in the doorway. Music begins to play (“Interloper”)
Mark jumps.
MARK
Um… dude, the party’s over. Go
home.

The clown is non-responsive. Over the shoulder shots throughout.

MARK
Hey are you deaf? I said go home.

He walks towards the clown.

MARK
What’s with the costume anyway?
Anyone would think it was Halloween.

He reaches the clown.

MARK
Hello?

Hello? This isn’t funny Mark! Open

claustrophobic! Stop being an ass
hole!

I thought you’d never get here.

The clown approaches her and puts its arms around her. Music starts (“The House of Leaves”)
Close up of the clown smelling her perfume.

DANIELLE
I’m very drunk so you’re perfectly
free to take advantage.

The clown turns her around and lays her on the counter.
Point of view shot of Danielle. Her vision is blurred because of the alcohol, so she can only vaguely make out its face.

DANIELLE
What’s with your face?

The clown grabs the bottle and shoves it into her mouth.
She begins to scream.
The clown slams its hand on the bottle to push it in further.
She screams even more.
