INT. JO’S CAR – DAY
We pull up to a red-light. Outside the passenger window is a small, church-owned graveyard. Snow is covering some of the graves.
JO
(THOUGHFUL) What would you tell a child if they asked you if the people in the ground were cold?
TONY
I would say ‘of course not. The worms ate them a long time ago.’
JO
(THAT ONE EYE-BROW RAISED LOOK)
That’s what you would tell a child?
TONY
I mean–I would say the coffins were very well insulated so the corp–people were warm.
JO
I would tell a child the people were in heaven where God has warm blanket for everyone.
TONY
Which is why I write horror and you don’t.
