Myrtle Plantation [NFB]
Sam was definitely not having a good day.
JAKE: So, we’re soldiers in a demon war to bring on the Apocalypse?
SAM: When you put it like that-
JAKE: And we’ve been picked?
SAM: Yes.
JAKE: Why us?
SAM: I’m not sure, okay? But look, I just know-
AVA: Sam, I’m sorry. Psychics and spoon-bending is one thing, but demons?
SAM: Look, I know it sounds crazy, but-
JAKE: It doesn’t just sound it.
SAM: I don’t really care what you think, okay? If we’re all gathered here together, then that means it’s starting and that we’ve gotta-
JAKE: The only thing I’ve gotta do is stay away from wackjobs, okay? I’ve heard enough. I’m better off on my own. FYI, so are you.
SAM: Jake, hold on. Jake!
[JAKE ignores him and continues walking. After an encounter with a demon, he rejoins the group.]
ANDY: [stunned] Give me a minute. I’m still working through, “Demons are real”.
[The group keeps walking. In front of one of the buildings is a large, rusty bell hanging from a wooden structure.]
SAM: I’ve seen that bell before. I think I know where we are now: Myrtle Plantation in New Orleans. It's the most haunted plantation in Louisiana. So haunted that all tourist activity had to be halted.
AVA: Swell. Good to know we’re somewhere so historical.
LILY: Why in the world would that demon or whatever put us here?
SAM: I’m wondering the same thing.
LILY: You know what? It doesn’t matter. Clearly, the only sane thing to do here is get the hell out of Dodge.
SAM: Wait, hold on. Lily, the only way out is through miles of swamps.
LILY: Beats hanging out with demons.
SAM: Lily, look, we don’t know what’s going on yet. I mean, we don’t even know how many of them are out there right now.
JAKE: Yeah, he’s right. We should-
LILY: Don’t say “we”! I’m not part of “we”. I have nothing in common with any of you.
SAM: Okay, look, I know-
LILY: You don’t know anything! [pause] I accidentally touched my girlfriend.
[The rest of them look around, stunned.]
SAM: I’m sorry.
LILY: Whatever. I feel like I’m in a nightmare, and it just keeps getting worse and worse.
SAM: I’ve lost people, too. I have a brother out there right now that could be dead, for all I know. We’re all in bad shape. But I’m telling you, the best way out of this is to stick together.
LILY: Fine.
[SAM nods, and the group continues looking around the town.]
SAM: We’re looking for iron, silver, salt -- any kind of weapon.
JAKE: Salt is a weapon?
SAM: It’s a brave new world.
ANDY: Well, hopefully there’s food in your world, because I’m frickin’ starving.
[They enter another building. LILY looks like she is about to follow, but stays behind. She wanders off on her own, away from the group.]
