A man walks down a hallway with a high ceiling,
      uncovered wooden floor and pre-Roosevelt-era
      plaster walls. It is dimly lit, as if half the
      light fixtures need new bulbs. Piled up against a
      wall is a huge drift of snow. As the man
      approaches two ghosts appear, and one of them
      reveals to the man a vision of the future so
      horrifying that the man immediately turns away
      and throws up.

                            FIRST GHOST
                     (to Second Ghost)
                What's his fate? His destiny?

      The second ghost, a middle-aged black woman,
      takes a drag on her cigarette.

                            SECOND GHOST
                Hard to tell in America,
                honey.

      FADE TO BLACK.

      FADE UP AGAIN:

4     I'M LISTENING TO THE RADIO

      MEN CRYING drive across southern Oregon,
      throwing shoelaces from the window of their
      Volvo.

                            GERT
                See that field over there?
                That field full of cows? You
                can NOT pump your own gas in
                that field!

      His companion cries harder. EGYPTIANS point to
      signs on the side of the road:

                            SIGN 1
                SCENIC OVERLOOK

                            SIGN 2
                STONES

                            SIGN 3
                INTERPRETIVE DANCE

                            SIGN 4
                SLOW

      The film suddenly runs out of the gate (no
      leader, just a straight cut).
