Sophie Foster: "Uh... yeah. Why?"
Fitz Vacker: Shrug "No reason..."
Sophie Foster: "Are you in this class?"
Fitz Vacker: Smile "No."
Fitz Vacker: Point to Albertosaurus "Tell me something. Do you really think that's what they looked like? It's a little absurd, isn't it?"
Sophie Foster: "Not really." "Why? What do you think they looked like?"
Fitz Vacker: Laugh "Never mind. I'll let you get back to your class. It was nice to meet you, Sophie." Turn to leave
Two kindergarteners: Scream, babble, run, enter
Sophie Foster: Close eyes, rub temples. Look around nervously, lock eyes with Fitz
Fitz Vacker: Have hands on temples, look down
Fitz Vacker: Whisper "Did you just... hear that?"
Sophie Foster: Look shocked. Pause. Gasp. Step away
Sophie Foster: Whisper "Who are you?"
Fitz Vacker: Eyes widen "You did- didn't you?" Walk closer... lean in.
Fitz Vacker: Whisper "Are you a telepath?"
Sophie Foster: Flinch
Fitz Vacker: "You are! I can't believe it!"
Sophie Foster: Back out toward exit
Fitz Vacker: "It's okay!" Hold out hands calmingly "You don't have to be afraid. I'm one too."
Sophie Foster: Freeze
Fitz Vacker: "My name's Fitz."Step closer
Fitz Vacker: "I'm not joking."
Sophie Foster: Wobble feet
Fitz Vacker: "It's okay, Sophie. I'm here to help you. We've been looking for you for twelve years."
Sophie Foster: Bolt away outside
Fitz Vacker: Follow Sophie "Sophie come back!"
Fitz Vacker: "Wait. You don't have to be afraid!"
Sophie Foster: Run across street, stop halfway. Look starstruck as car comes toward you
Sophie Foster: Stab hand into air, stopping lantern... look up, gasp
Fitz Vacker: "Put it down!"
Sophie Foster: Shriek, yank arm away.
Fitz Vacker: "Watch out!!" Yank Sophie out of lantern's reach
Both: Sink and fall onto sidewalk, Sophie on top of Fitz
Fitz Vacker: Whisper "How did you do that?"
Sophie Foster: Get off Fitz "I have no idea..."
Fitz Vacker: "We have to get out of here." Point to car driver
Sophie Foster: "He saw!'
Fitz Vacker: Pull Sophie up "Come on, let's get out of sight."
Fitz Vacker: Drag Sophie across the street
Fitz Vacker: "Which way?"
Both: Run toward the zoo
Sophie Foster: "What do you want?"
Fitz Vacker: "I want to help you, I promise."
Sophie Foster: "Why were you looking for me?" "tug out" eyelash
Fitz Vacker: Hesitate "I'm not sure if I'm supposed to tell you."
Sophie Foster: "How am I supposed to trust you if you won't answer my questions?"
Fitz Vacker: Consider "Okay, fine- but I don't know much. My father sent me to find you. We've been looking for a specific girl your age, And I was supposed to observe and report back to him, like always. I wasn't supposed to talk to you." Frown "I just couldn't figure you out. you don't make sense."
Sophie Foster: "What does that mean?"
Fitz Vacker: "It means you're... different from what I expected. your eyes really threw me off."
Sophie Foster: "What's wrong with my eyes?" Touch eyelids
Fitz Vacker: "We all have blue eyes, so when I saw them, I figured we had the wrong girl again. But we didn't." Look at Sophie in awe "You're really one of us."
Sophie Foster: Hold up hands in retreat "Whoa. hang on. what do you mean, 'one of us'?"
Fitz Vacker: Glance over shoulder frown Look at crowd Call Sophie toward deserted corner of parking lot "Okay- there's no easy way to explain this, so I'm just going to say it. We're not human, Sophie."
Sophie Foster: Look stunned "Not human? Riiiiiiight." Shake head
Sophie Foster: move towards sidewalk
Fitz Vacker: "Where are you going?"
Sophie Foster: "You're insane- and I'm insane for trusting you." Kick ground and stomp away
Fitz Vacker: "I'm telling the truth!" Call out "Just think for a minute, Sophie."
Sophie Foster: Stop walking. Face Fitz Vacker.
Fitz Vacker: "Can humans do this?" Stand still for special effects.
Sophie Foster: Lean against car, bewildered. "But I can't do that!" Speak shakily and step closer.
Fitz Vacker: "You have no idea what you can do when you set your mind to it. Think about what you did to that pole a few minutes ago."
Sophie Foster: Tilt head. Look scared, pull away from Fitz.
