We hear the terrified cries of Mother and Daughter. TITLE CARD: FROM CREDITS EXT. MOTEL 6, PARKING LOT - MORNING JIM MATTHEWS (mid-30s) is carrying suitcases to the family mini-van in the parking lot. He seems conflicted, maybe even a little bitter. SUPER: Denver, Colorado JIM (calling up to the room) Kids, let's go, I wanna be on the road in ten minutes. INT. MOTEL ROOM - MORNING ANGLE ON : 2 FINGER PUPPETS. THE KIND YOU'D FIND IN THE 99 CENTS BIN AT A ROADSIDE REST STOP. BIG EYES, GANGLY ARMS, MUPPET-LOOKING THINGS. The puppets are on the fingers of a teenage girl as she acts out a scenario, providing the voices for "Norman" and "Harold" as Norman the finger puppet lay at death's door. The girl really sells the drama. We remain tight on the puppets. HAROLD You saved us, Norman. The Evil Beast is vanquished. Everyone is safe because of you. NORMAN I'm - glad. HAROLD You're going to be okay. Just hold
on a little longer. The secret fairies are on their way back from the Lake of Tears. They're going to make you better again. NORMAN (coughs)
The monster's claws went too deep. Tell my friends that I will miss them. Tell my parents that I said -- goodbye. The finger propping up Norman relaxes, evoking his "death."
