The following conversation occurs in absolute darkness.
TC: And then, she poured boiling water directly into my mouth!
[Gasping in unison]
PC: No!
DC: She didn’t!
TC: She did.
B: They all do. They’ll drown you in water so hot, it’ll peel the enamel off.
TC: [To PC] Or melt you. [To DC] Or leave you to slowly fall apart.
PC: No, no, they can’t!
TC: They will.
DC: Not to us! We’ll run away.
B: [With a mocking laugh] How? We’re trapped here.

TC: Hush! They’re coming.
A sliver of light appears and then widens as the door opens. The camera angle changes, showing a hand reaching into a cabinet of dishes. From the top shelf, a plastic cup and a dixie cup topple over the edge. The human looks startled, shakes her head, and tosses them in the trash. Then, she takes out a plate and closes the cabinet, returning the screen to darkness.
TC: [Laughing] Works every time.
