I don't want to follow a car with a body in it

LARRY
(voice over from inside their [parked] car)
You have no sense of direction.  I was...

CAROL
Well, not exactly.  Twenty-twenty vision.

LARRY
You have no sense of direction.

CAROL
Not exactly.  But anyway...  No, I do have a sense of direction.  He came right here.

LARRY
Where the hell are we?  What is this place?

CAROL
I - I don't know why... -- here...

LARRY
I don't know, but...

CAROL
There it is!

LARRY
What?

CAROL
There's his car.  Right there.

LARRY
How do you know it's his car?

CAROL
That's his car.

LARRY
Oh, it is his car.

CAROL
It is his.

LARRY
Yes.  Yes.  Yes.

CAROL
Well, of course.

                           The car stops.

LARRY
Okay, let me turn the light off.

                      Their car headlights switch off.

LARRY
Be careful, be careful, be careful.

                             They both get out of the car and walk, looking all around.

                           Huge piles of scrap metal are lit by a powerful red light.  Larry and Carol run alongside of a big building where the red light seems to be coming from.  Carol stops Larry, and points.

CAROL
Look, look!

                          A body, half-wrapped in a white sheet, is being lifted by a huge electromagnet.

LARRY
Oh, my God!  It's Mrs. House's body!

                              REVERSE HIGH-ANGLE SHOT on Larry and Carol, as if they were seen from the magnet.

LARRY
Come on!  We gotta stop it before it gets dropped.

                            He takes Carol's hand and they run toward the magnet in the darkness.
