PTOLEMY Uh, um... tell the man? COYDOG Boy, stop plain’ around and do what you promised. PTOLEMY But I forgot. I mean, I don’t know anymore. SIRENS of fire engines begin their WHINE somewhere outside Ptolemy’s apartment - faintly at first. COYDOG Forgot? I didn’t give my life for you to forget. PTOLEMY But I did. Maybe, maybe if you reminded me some... COYDOG The treasure, Pity. You remember... As the SIRENS increase in volume Coydog and his shanty begin to fade. PTOLEMY I’m sorry, Coydog, but I, but I... COYDOG No, Pity, don’t go! Coydog is yelling but we can hardly hear him as he and his world are drowned out by the sound of sirens. Ptolemy turns away and our vision shifts from the sharecropper’s shack to... INT. PTOLEMY'S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS ...where we find our protagonist distracted and pained by the SIRENS wailing outside. He struggles to his feet and begins pacing the lanes of his maze becoming more and more agitated as he goes. Finally, reluctantly he looks to his right where he sees... A CLOSET DOOR, slightly ajar but also partly blocked by an overstuffed bookcase.
