TABITHA
(to Ethan) What happened? Ethan holds up Norman the finger puppet. ETHAN (teary-eyed)
Julie killed Norman. He died at the end of the story. JIM (confused) What? (annoyed) Julie, get out of the car. TABITHA (thinking on her feet) Well, just - tell another story. One that brings Norman back to life. Ethan brightens for a moment. Julie rolls down the window -- JULIE It won't matter. He'll still be dead. My story came first. (off Tabitha's "not helping" look) What? You said you wanted us to bond, right? He's too sensitive. Julie rolls up the window and puts her headphones on. Tabitha looks at Jim, he's at a total loss. Tabitha crouches down in front of Ethan. TABITHA Okay, how did Norman die? ETHAN The monsters killed him. TABITHA Oh. Well that's good news then. ETHAN Why? TABITHA
Because there's no such thing as monsters. And if there's no such thing as monsters then that means Norman's still alive, doesn't it?
