INT. WAITING ROOM - EVENING
A YOUNG BLACK MAN sits slouched on a chair, hoodie up and
headphones on.

Off-screen we faintly hear an argument reach boiling point

in a room nearby, climaxing with a door SLAMMING open and
somebody running away into silence.
Then footsteps head our way.

MAN (O.S.)
Sir. Sir?
The young man takes his time to notice and looks up to see a
LANKY PHYSICIAN wearing a long white coat, which amplifies
his mad scientist-like appearance. He looks at the clipboard
in his hands.
PHYSICIAN
Sir, are you Mr. Lewis?
YOUNG MAN
Yeah.
PHYSICIAN
Right this way, please, sir.

INT. PHYSICIANS OFFICE - EVENING

The men walk into an office. A radio faintly plays
classical, relaxing music. The boy slumps into the seat in
front of the desk.

PHYSICIAN
Excuse me, sir. Lets get straight
down to business.
The young man turns his head and sees the physician is stood
next to an examination table.
PHYSICIAN
Please take off all upper body
clothes, sir.

The young man sluggishly gets up and unzips his hooded

sweatshirt. As he peels off his t-shirt, the physician comes
over and gives him a hand.
PHYSICIAN
Right this way, sir.

The young man plants himself on the examination table. He

sighs and looks up at the physician.
YOUNG MAN
Well, I guess its mainly my-

The physician shushes him. Exuberantly, yet gracefully, the

physicians HAND GLIDES over the young mans UPPER BACK. He
takes a really close look.
YOUNG MAN
Dont you want to know wh-
Suddenly, the young mans face is framed by the physicians
hands. Then the hands dig in. In a SWIFT, JOLTING MOVE, the
young mans face is flung sideways. A loud CRACK fills the
room.

The young mans mouth clenches and lets out a murmur.

Given no time to recover, the young mans head is BRUSQUELY
JERKED the other way, again producing a LOUD CRACK.

The physicians face LIGHTS UP WITH JOY.

PHYSICIAN
Alright. Good.
He then LOCKS his arms under the young mans armpits and
LIFTS the boy up, causing a LOUD CRACK from the upper back.
The physician hastily pushes the boys body onto the table,
leaving him laying on his side. He then RUSHES around the
table to get a wrestle-like GRIP on the kid and then PUSHES
DOWN with great strength, producing another CRACK.

YOUNG MAN
(GASPING)
Can I..
PHYSICIAN
(eyes closed, authoritative)
Flat on your back, please.
As the young man slowly gets in position, the classical
music on the radio intensifies.

MONTAGE
In quick order and in sync with the increasingly dramatic
classical music, the physician THEATRICALLY STRETCHES his
ARMS and places his hands on the boys shoulders. He goes
BERSERK on the kids body, each move he makes stretching the

limits of the body parts hes cracking. As the music BUILDS

UP to a CLIMAX, the boy GRIMACES with more agony each time
the physician cracks a part of his body.
The piece of music climaxes at exactly the same time as the
PHYSICIANS hands, holding the young mans head, perform an
EXTREMELY FORCEFUL neck crack.
END OF MONTAGE
The physician lifts his head in the air and lets out a
climactic sigh, followed by a seedy GRIN.
As he looks down, his face goes slightly blank. Complete
silence in the room.
PHYSICIAN
Sir?
He nudges the boy. No response. He then shakes the limp body
laying in front of him. No response.

INT. PHYSICIANS OFFICE - EVENING

A phone on the edge of a desk rings. A hand picks it up.

MAN (O.S.)
Hello?
CUT TO:

INT. PHYSICIANS OFFICE - EVENING

The PHYSICIAN, a dazed look on his face, holds up a
telephone.

PHYSICIAN
Andrew? I think its happened
again.
CUT TO:

INT. PHYSICIANS OFFICE - EVENING

The PHYSICIAN has been joined by ANDREW, another physician.
The two stand next to each other, looking at the body on the
table. Both have a puzzled look on their face.

CONTINUED: 4.

ANDREW
Is he...
PHYSICIAN
Yeah.

ANDREW
Right.
ANDREW walks up to the table and leans over it. He moves the
body around a bit, examining it. He then looks back at the
physician.
ANDREW
I think you missed a couple of
spots.

The PHYSICIANs face lights up again, producing a wide grin.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLWAY - EVENING

Behind the closed door of the PHYSICIANS office, we see the

shadows of both men GRABBING and PULLING the kids body.
Cracks are heard over the classical music, which plays as
fiercely as it did during the montage.
