KEVIN
Welp, backtracking It is.

ISTEN

never know when you might need It.
SPIRIT
(whinnies)
KEVIN
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa girl! Easy,
easy, easy...
What is It?
ISTEN
It’s for luck.
KEVIN
Well, It looks like...is It a dead
bee?
ISTEN
It’s not.
ORA
In a Jar? Is It alive?
KEVIN
Well... I don’t think so, it’s not
moving.
Oh! I think It might be glowing a
little...
KARRAS
Stop! Don’t open that....
KEVIN
There It goes, now it’s moving! Oh,

KARRAS
It WAS THE WISP! SHE WON’T STOP.
KEVIN

KARRAS
HANG ON!!
KEVIN
Now, listen, I understand that
you... that I may have upset you
before. I know that. And, I - I
apologize. I shouldn’t have doubted
you. Now, can you, can you please
STOP RUNNING?! Not good enough huh?
What do you want, huh? You and Ora
are best friends. And, and it’s
like you don’t even try to get to
know me.
KARRAS
SHE’S GONE! SHE WON’T STOP.
KEVIN
Don’t, don’t listen to Karras. He’s
he’s very angry. Unlike me who is
actually very, very nice. And I’m
very very calm.
SPIRIT
(Whinnies)
KEVIN
OUCH! Ugh... my nose! Okay, OKAY,
maybe I have not tried to get to
know him very well either... I get
It, there’s enough blame to go
around.
But but, at least I’m trying!!!
Honestly! And, and you gotta’, you
gotta’ meet me halfway.
...and
you...just...WON’T...STOP...RUNNING
! UGh!!... AAAAAA
KARRAS
KEVIN! GIVE ME YOUR HA.....! UGH!
KEVIN
Karras!! No...
Spirit does not stop.
KEVIN (CONT'D)
Spirit, we really gotta’ stop. We
really got to stop now!
I think Karras might be dead!
YOU STUPID PILE OF SHIT HORSE! THEY
NEED OUR HELP!!
KEVIN (CONT'D)

The horse gets even louder and more agitated when Kevin tries
to touch It.
KEVIN (CONT'D)
Ughhhh... shhhh...I’m so sorry

LUSUS NATURAE

KARRAS

(MORE)
KEVIN
Karras. Hey, are you okay?

You’re okay right? Right?
KARRAS

KEVIN
Listen, listen we’ve got to hide.

KEVIN
Hey, look, If you’re not gonna’

KARRAS
Imogen!
KEVIN

KARRAS

hurt when Imogen went down.
KEVIN (CONT'D)
Don’t move, I’m going to get you
safe, just...Just stay quiet. Come

KARRAS
No! I need to get to Imogen.
KEVIN
Stop squirming! We’re almost to the
gully. Just a... Come on...Just a

LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar)
KARRAS

sorry.
KARRAS
You can’t stop me!
KEVIN
Will you please shut up? You’re

KARRAS
I’d rather die fighting than cower
like a rat.
KEVIN
That makes one of us. Ugh!
KARRAS
AAAAAAAAA
KEVIN
Hold on!
KEVIN (CONT'D)
Now... Now stay!
KARRAS

SCENE BRAKE
WILZU
Hey. Hey!
KEVIN
(groan)
WILZU
You’re awfully alive for a dead
person. Wake up if you’re gonna’.
(Puuffff)
KEVIN
What?! What are--!
WILZU
Shhhhhh. That thing is still out
there. Sleeping, just like you two.
Where’s is your shirt?
WILZU (CONT'D)
Shhhhh. I watched the whole thing.
Your friend here is quite a
fighter. Figured It was better to
wake you up first. (Laughs) What’s
your name?
KEVIN
Kevin. And this is Karras.
WILZU
Well, Kevin, it’s time for you two
to leave here. Follow me.
KEVIN
Wait!!
WILZU
Not on your life.
KEVIN
Hey, Karras. Hey...big Guy...wake
up.
We’ve got to move. We’ve got to
follow this guy. But quietly.
Hey! Where did you go?! HEY!
WILZU
Will you shut up! Use your eyes!
KEVIN
I don’t see you.
WILZU
(sighs)
Walk towards my voice and look for
a hole in the hill.
KEVIN
Hey, let me help.
(MORE)
KARRAS
No! Get away.
KEVIN
Fine! You’re only going to hurt
yourself worse. See if I care!
WILZU
Here. Over here.
KEVIN
How did...? How did we not see
that...?
WILZU
You were too busy bringing
distraction to me! Thanks for that!
KEVIN
I meant now. I couldn’t see It
looking right at It.
WILZU
Because I am smart and you are not.
Now come in before that thing comes
looking for seconds
Woah! Wipe your feet!
KEVIN
Oh...
WILZU
Were you raised in a swamp?
KEVIN
sorry...
Well, this is....umm....nice, I
guess.
WILZU
Nice? It’s not supposed to be nice.
It’s a cave.
KEVIN
More like a cavern. Seems to go on
for quite a while.
Wait...Wait, so you were here...ten
feet from us...and didn’t even
offer to help?!
WILZU
I’m helping you now, ain’t I? Plus,
earlier you two seemed dead set on
being that things lunch.
WILZU (CONT'D)
Although...seeing you without a
shirt might have put It off it’s
appetite. (Laughing) Right...
hahaha.
KEVIN
Well that seems uncalled for. Uh...
What’s your name?
WILZU
I’m Wilzu.
KEVIN
And you live here?
WILZU
I’m not gonna’ tell you where I
live. I just met you! And Gnomes
are notoriously tight-lipped about
their homes. The whereabouts of a
gnome home is a closely guarded
secret.
KEVIN
Oh, sooo... You don’t live in here
some place?
WILZU
Uh, no. I live far away... in...
Far... Farthers... berg.
Farthersberg.
KEVIN
You live in... Farthersberg?
WILZU
So Kraven...
KEVIN
That’s not...
WILZU
Whatever.
Knee bothering you?
KARRAS
(Grunts)
WILZU
Hehehe, well it’s a good thing. If
you’d had your full strength you
woulda’ beat this little fella’
easy...and I’d wager you’d both be
dead.
KEVIN
Little fella’? You’re like two feet
tall!
WILZU
Yeah, you’re the small one, and I’m
the adorable one.
KEVIN
Right. Sure.
Listen, do you have any food?
KARRAS
Food...
WILZU
Oh, sure! Like I just keep food in
this cave that I absolutely DO NOT
LIVE IN.
KEVIN
But there’s a door mat...
WILZU
So? I didn’t put It there, I just
have the good graces to use It!
KEVIN
Ow! Stop that!
WILZU
You stop that!
KEVIN
Shhhh!! You’ve gotta stop making...
WILZU
Oh! So now you’re gonna tell me to
be quiet?
KEVIN
Well...you made a good point. We
really should be quiet.
WILZU
We are perfectly safe in her. Trust
me.
KEVIN
Which you know...because you live
here.
WILZU
Ummm... No... I know because I’ve
got Mr. Pale-N-Hairy here to
protect me.
KARRAS
Where’s Spirit...?
KEVIN
I had to jump off her. She wouldn’t
stop.
KARRAS
(Grunts)
WILZU
(humph). You two can stay with
me....in this random cave I found.
At least for tonight.
KEVIN
(to Karras)
See? It’s going to be Okay.
We can figure out what to do
tomorrow. Wilzu! Can help his leg
heal?
WILZU
Yes!...Of course. I can do
that...That’s a thing I can do?
Along with everything else.
If you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna’ try
and find a place to piss. I think,
but I may be wrong because I don't
live her... there’s a place right
over there
KEVIN
Yeah, sure. How convenient in this
random cave....
KARRAS
Spirit was not your horse...Imogen
was my horse. Without him, I have
nothing.
KEVIN
What about Isten? The Chosen One?
KARRAS
He may be chosen...but he’s no
Imogen. He was my best friend.
KEVIN
Well, we can stay hidden in here
for now. Recover a bit, then we’ll
meet up with Ora and Isten and...
KARRAS
Doesn’t matter. None of It matters
now.
KEVIN
Alright, so maybe Isten isn’t your
best friend, but what about the
Prophecy?
WILZU
You’re never gonna’ believe what I
found just sitting on a rock back
there...
KEVIN
You have got to be kidding me.
WILZU
I don’t kid about tea.
What...what is that around your
neck?
KEVIN
Huh? Oh, this?
A...uhm...friend gave It to me.
It’s a bird.
WILZU
Some friend. It looks like a fish.
A very ugly fish.
KEVIN
Hey! You know what...?
WILZU
How do you take your tea, Kraven?
KARRAS
Keep your tea.
WILZU
Got It. Two sugars.
(MORE)
KARRAS
You don’t know what this feels
like!
WILZU
Look, I don’t have any family. Ya’
know? I live alone.
Somewhere else.
Anyway, I don’t have anybody to
love. And I don’t have anybody who
loves me...anymore. I’m just a
lonely, old gnome. But I’m an old
gnome who knows a thing or two. And
one thing I know is this: What
you’re feeling right now? That’s
love.
KARRAS
It’s not love! It’s pain!
WILZU
*humph*
KEVIN
Hey, He just watched his best
friend get eaten.
WILZU
Look, love isn’t always a good
feeling. Sometimes love makes you
hurt worse than you ever thought
you could. You think it’s easer to
mend physical pain right?
KARRAS
(Grunts)
WILZU
Well, there is no different in how
you treat love and how we will heal
your knee. The pain your feeling
now, is telling you something has
happened. It stings, and burns, but
you can’t ignore It, or It will
only make things worse. Even
cleaning It can make It feel worse
but it’s necessary. Right now you
can think of only the last chapter
of your friends story. *Humph*.
That will change and you will think
of the other parts of the story. It
still hurts? Yes. But as long as
you take It easy It will heal.
WILZU (CONT'D)
It may never be the same, It may
never be as strong, but you will
move again. And yes you’ll be left
with a scar just like any other
wound. But like any other wound It
will remind you that something
happened and in this case, It was
love.
KEVIN
I’m umm...I’m going to go see if
that thing is still out there.
WILZU
What? What? Why?!
KEVIN
Cause I want to, alright?!
WILZU
Okay, fine. Yeeesh. You’re awfully
touchy for a guy who runs around
topless. But listen, if that thing
sees you, don’t you dare lead It
back here...
Strange guy.
KARRAS
Why do you live alone?
WILZU
What? How do you know that?
KARRAS
You just said.
WILZU
Oh...I wasn’t sure anyone was
listening.
I live alone...because I want to
live alone.
KARRAS
Not true.
WILZU
Okay...then I live alone because I
have to live alone.
KARRAS
Why?
WILZU
Wh-What’s with the questions?
You’re worse then the little fella!
KARRAS
Maybe I should live alone.
WILZU
Sure. Listen, some people live
alone ‘cause they want to. And some
people do It...cause... because
they don’t stay off there bad
knee... Believe me, its much less
painful to heal...
I think you’d get very lonely.
KEVIN
Uh-hu, it’s gone.
WILZU
WIPE YOUR FEET!
KEVIN
Sorry, sorry! For a little...
WILZU
(Clears throat)
KEVIN
I mean...an adorable guy, you sure
can get loud.
WILZU
Well...I think that’s the nicest
thing anyone has said to me in a
very long time.
KEVIN
You're...welcome?
Karras! You’re going to make your
leg worse! You need to rest.
Karras, where are you going? It’s
almost totally dark!
KARRAS
To heal.
WILZU
That’s precisely why you shouldn’t
be hopping around, Terrance!
KEVIN
His name is...oh, never mind.
WILZU
Now where are YOU going?!
KEVIN
Don’t worry about It!
WILZU
Well...wait just a moment!
KEVIN
Wait for what?!
WILZU
At least take this lantern so you
can find your way back!
KEVIN
Really?
WILZU
I mean, if you want. Doesn’t matter
to me, either way. Just don’t want
you dying on my...er...this
doorstep.
KEVIN
You are a lot nicer then you let
on...
WILZU
Be quiet!
KEVIN
Hey.... I blocked It...
WILZU
Congratulations... I’m going
inside...
KARRAS
(Grunts in pain.)
KEVIN
Hey! Here, let me help you.
KARRAS
I can do It!
KEVIN
Well...then you help me, whatever
makes you feel better.
You okay now?
KARRAS
(Grunts)
KARRAS (CONT'D)
It’s raining.
KEVIN
I hadn’t noticed.
KARRAS
There’s...there’s not much left.
KEVIN
I’m so sorry...there was nothing we
could do...
KARRAS
(Crying)
KEVIN
Karras...stop. STOP! You’re going
to hurt yourself.
KARRAS
He needs... He needs to be buried!
He-he was my best friend!
KEVIN
I know that, but...
KARRAS
My only friend!!
KEVIN
I know.
KARRAS
What are you doing?
KEVIN
I didn’t save you just so you could
die out here digging a grave.
C’mon, let’s do this.
KARRAS
But you have no shirt...
KEVIN
Meh. It’s around here some place.
KARRAS
But you...you did not even like
him! And there’s blood, and mud,
and rain...
KEVIN
Huh...I hadn’t noticed.
