EPISODE 3 Written by Nick & Matt Lang October 22, 2020 Nightmare Time Ep. 3 1. ‘NIGHTMARE TIME THEME’ SONG LYRICS - WRITTEN BY JEFF BLIM You, no need to run away You little run-away Cuz the nightmare will get you soon No need to contemplate How deeply that you’re afraid Cuz your life is a waning moon It’s a matter of time, A matter of time Don’t need to look far to find it Every story you tell we’re in pursuit It’s all in your mind, It’s all in your mind Look behind you! Hey what was that? Boo You can run, but are you fast enough? You can hide, but I will find you Close your eyes if you don’t dose off Hold your breath so I don’t hear you The trail of tears that you will leave me Will lead me straight to those that fear me You can run if I don’t catch you But the Nightmare Time is gonna get you Take every precaution, babe Get out the caution tape Cuz the timer is ticking down You even understand The danger that you are in? You’re standing on shaky ground It’s a victimless crime, A victimless crime I’m in your head and you know it Nothing that you do about it It’s all by design, All by design... Where’d he go? You can run but, are you fast enough? You can hide, but I will find you Close your eyes if you don’t dose off Hold your breath so I don’t hear you The trail of tears that you will leave me Will lead me straight to those that fear me You can run if I don’t catch you But the Nightmare Time is gonna get you Just run away if you want, if you dare The Nightmare’s gonna get you Just run away if you want, if you dare The Nightmare’s gonna get you Just run away if you want, if you dare Daddy’s gonna get you You can run if I don’t catch you But the Nightmare Time already caught you 10.24.20 PART 1: Written by Nick & Matt Lang October 22, 2020 Jane's A Car 1. ‘SHE LETS ME DRIVE’ SONG LYRICS - WRITTEN BY JEFF BLIM Got my foot on the gas The carburetor groans While the fuel injection moans In the V6. Been in and out of shops But that fox body won’t stop Since ‘86. I’ve traded in for new. (I’ve traded it in for something new, yeah, oh) But I come right back to you. She lets me drive (Oh, she lets me drive) Down that ol’ country road She lets me (She really lets me) She makes me GO Oh, all the way back home She lets me drive She makes me go She hugs the road Downshiftin’ gears Throughout the years She takes me home Got my feet on the dash We roll down Highway One With the west coast settin’ sun In the rear glass And every time it starts The suspension pounds my heart And I feel that She lets me drive (Oh, she lets me drive) Down that ol’ country road She’s fire (She’s really fire) Transmittin’ smoke Oh, you’re my every hope! She lets me drive She makes me go She hugs the road Downshiftin’ gears Throughout the years She takes me home When I fix you up You fix me Feet on the dashboard Can’t really ask for more Lovin’ the hatchback Soundin’ the 8-track Hand on the stick shift Feeling the whiplash She lets me drive Lang, 10.22.20 Jane's A Car 2. EP3, PT1: JANE’S A CAR In the GARAGE of a small auto-repair shop, in the tiny town of Hatchetfield, LEX FOSTER sits in the driver’s seat of a parked 1986 Foxbody Mustang. She bobs her head along to some smooth tune that plays on the car’s radio. That is, until the song cuts out and the tape-deck rolls... TAPE VOICE (O.S.) …And that is when I came into possession of this strange Black Book... LEX (to herself) What the hell? Lex tries to switch it back to the radio, but the nob seems busted. The tape continues... TAPE VOICE (O.S.) Within it’s pages, burial rights, spells, incantations… LEX Piece of shit. Lex whacks the stereo. The tape cuts in and out. TAPE VOICE (O.S.) …to worship these Lords in Black… LEX Come on. TAPE VOICE (O.S.) …Pokotho. Bliklotep. T’noy Karaxis... As Lex kicks the center console, her boyfriend, ETHAN GREEN, leans in through the open car window. ETHAN Don’t hit it like that! TAPE VOICE (O.S.) ...Nibblenephim. And Wiggog Y’wrath… Ethan swiftly thumps the radio once, just so. The tape stops and the smooth tune flows from the speakers once more. Lang, 10.22.20 Jane's A Car 3. ETHAN (smiles) That’s how you hit it. Pleased with himself, Ethan wipes his oily hands on his oily coveralls and returns to his work under the car’s hood. LEX If you were gonna rebuild this junk- heap, why didn’t you give it a new stereo? ETHAN Because Mr. Houston didn’t want a new stereo. He wants the car just how it was before the crash. That includes the janky-ass tape-deck. LEX (suddenly somber) This is Mr. Houston’s car? ETHAN Yeah. And with all the money this guy sunk into tracking down these old parts, he coulda bought a new mustang. LEX (a beat) His wife died in this car. ETHAN Freaky-deaky. I don’t know why you’d wanna keep something like that. He’d be happier in a Mazda. LEX (pensive) Maybe he doesn’t want to be happy. Maybe he doesn’t want to forget her. ETHAN Well, if it were me, this thing’d be in the dump. When shit happens, you move on. Beating yourself up won’t bring anyone back. You’re here one minute, gone the next. That’s why you gotta be careful. Alright, give her some gas. Lang, 10.22.20 Jane's A Car 4. As Ethan leans on the front of the Mustang, looking down at the engine, Lex presses her foot on the gas pedal... only to find the car’s somehow shifted into ‘drive.’ The Foxbody jerks forward, pushing Ethan back. He slams into the workbench and watches like a deer in headlights as the car comes closing in. ETHAN (CONT'D) NOOOO!!! Just before Ethan is crushed, Lex slams on the breaks. SCREECH! The Mustang stops an inch from Ethan’s face. It sits there, engine purring, as he leaps to his feet and pulls open the driver’s door. ETHAN (CONT'D) (to Lex) Out. Out. LEX I’m so sorry, Ethan. I swear it was in park. Lex climbs out of the car and Ethan points to the letters by the gear-shift lever. ETHAN Look at this, Lex. You looking? This is a “P.” This is a “D.” Do you see the difference? Do you see how the “P” has a little tail coming down? That’s how you know it’s not a “D!” He sees Lex is visibly upset. He softens. ETHAN (CONT'D) Hey. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell. It’s just, I coulda died. LEX I swear it was in park. She buries her face into his chest, and looks back at the Foxbody Mustang. It’s engine growls. Ethan rubs her back. ETHAN It’s okay, babe. Come on. You’re shaking. You’re shaking. Across town, at PIZZA PETE’S FAMILY FUN ZONE, TOM HOUSTON’s knee bounces nervously under the table. Lang, 10.22.20 Jane's A Car 5. TIM You’re shaking, Dad. TOM What? Tom sits in a booth across from his ten-year-old son, TIM. Around them, birthday parties rage and pinball machines clatter. Tom is anxious and Tim can tell. TIM You wanna switch sides so you don’t have to look at the big-kid games? TOM I’m not shaking, alright? Tom glances behind Tim at a row of violent arcade games, including one called ‘ROADKILL!’ He watches two pixilated cars plow into each other. He winces, remembering... CRASH. BANG... TOM (CONT'D) You know what? Yeah. Let’s switch sides. They switch. From this new side of the booth Tom’s got a clear view of the entrance. He watches it like a hawk. TOM (CONT'D) (Sighs) I just want you to like my friend. TIM You mean your girlfriend? TOM No. She’s a girl. We’re old friends. TIM But you are intimate. TOM Intimate? Do you know what that means? TIM (shrugs) It’s what Uncle Paul says. Lang, 10.22.20 Jane's A Car 6. TOM Yeah. Well, Uncle Paul’s a geek who needs to keep his mouth shut... Alright. She’s here. Through the front doors, BECKY BARNES appears. She scans the restaurant, spots Tom, and waves. BECKY Hi! TIM (to Tom) That’s Becky Barnes? TOM Yeah. What? TIM Nothing. (nods) I’m just proud of you, Dad. Becky makes her way to the booth, throwing her jacket next to Tom and pecking his cheek. BECKY So sorry I’m late. Bridgette had her operation today. And the parking here is just bananas! Hi Tim! I can’t tell you how excited I am.
