EXT - GARDEN: WAY TO RUN NORTH - WARM EVENING (NO MOON)
[MUSIC is NEBULOUS 'stereo-phase-inside']
All seems calm: ELLE is occupied.
Elle pauses, listening:
(~00:08 +string builds an exordium)
Looks away:
THE GROUND SLIGHTLY SWAYS AND BACK:
WIND-CHIMES TINKLE POLITELY: [long-string chime knocker]
Elle alerts: Looks about:
THE GROUND SWAYS AND THRICE MORE INTENTLY: TREES, and Elle braces --
monitoring about as: LONG-POLES STACK TOPPLES: CUPS FALL: SMASH, CLATTER:
Elle removes: Searches the horizon:
THE GROUND SLIGHTLY SLOW-HEAVES:
ELLE
(calls)
Adam! Eve!
(listens)
Eve: Where are you?! |

EXT - GARDEN FAR END OF WAY TO RUN
ADAM, EVE, meandering: Noticing about as:
THE GROUND MODERATELY HEAVES-SWAYS: TREES, and all:
Again [ELLE] calls in the distance:
[ELLE]
(OS-distant)
(calls)
Adam! Eve! Answer me!
EVE
(puzzled calls back)
Mommy! |

EXT - GARDEN WAY TO RUN
[EVE]
(OS-distant)
(faint)
Mommy!
ELLE
(turns, hurries towards them)
Eve! Where are you?!
[EVE]
(OS-distant)
(seeming fainter)
Mommy! |
THE GROUND SLOW-HEAVES:
Elle trots towards them, steering with the sway:
THE GROUND SLOW-HEAVES AGAIN, ROCKS-ROLLS:
ANGLE PRECEDING FRONT OF: Elle sprints:
SMALL VENTS SPURT GAS AND DUST:
A FEW SHORT RIFTS OPEN: THE GROUND SOFTENS: TREES TILT:
RIFTS MULTIPLY: THE GROUND LIQUIFIES: TREES FALL: OIL POOLS IN RIFTS:
OIL SPURTS, A FEW GAS VENTS FLAME-UP:
A SINUOUS ROARING GAP OUT-RUNS ELLE:
RIPPING A SHEET OF FLAMES:
AND FINALLY TOSSING Elle shy of:
(02:37 chime, voice, lull)
ANGLE: ADAM, EVE, both in clothes-furs, stumbling about to hands and knees amid
the collapsing garden, as Elle, stumbling, skidding, sliding, halts at the new GAP BETWEEN:
ELLE
(breathing refrain)
Eve! Adam! Are you all right?! |
THE GROUND CALMING: Adam fully stands-up: while Eve, Elle, up to a knee.
EVE
(crying-out across)
Mommy!
ELLE
(breathing)
Adam. Take Eve. Leave the garden: Run to the north. Stay back from
the river.
(points forward: north)
ADAM
(grips Eve's shoulder)
EVE
(wailing)
Mom-my!!
ELLE
(breathing)
Eve! Stay with Adam! Go now!
ADAM
Mother: We can't leave you alone.
ELLE
(breathing)
Adam. Take care of Eve. She'll be your mother now. Go! Run! Now! |
Adam considers Eve quizzically
GROUND SWAYS: Elle braces:
Adam grips Eve's arm, hand: Pulls-up:
ANGLE-FOLLOW: BOTH STUMBLY RUN ONWARD: [forward-north]
THE GROUND HEAVES AND THROWS: Adam, Eve, to hands and knees:
THE GROUND RIPS: TREES FALL: GAS FLAMES LEAP: Adam, Eve, avoiding, resume stumble-running:
THE GROUND SHAKES:
ONE GIANT ERUPTING GAS TORCH BLOOMS, TOWERING ABOVE THE TREES:
They briefly wary of it:
ANGLE: THE GROUND TILTS FORE, AS: Adam, Eve,
run-on through the sky-torch-lighted distance:
