Exploring the Eerie Horror Section Together
Richard Tyler
Are we yet in the library?
Adventure
Aye, lad. The horror section.
Richard Tyler
It looks pretty eerie.
Adventure
That it does, mate. Just stick close to me and you've had nothing to worry about.
[doesn't sound too sure]
Richard Tyler
There it is! The exit!
Adventure
Looks like the only road to reach the exit is through that far house.
Richard Tyler
No way I'm going in there.
[swallows hard]
Adventure
It's your only chance, boy. It's only a house.
Richard Tyler
Yes, but seventeen percent of all incidents are household related.
Adventure
C'mon down, ya dog-eared scalawag!
Fantasy
Oh, put that fact away. You're frightening him. Come out, come out, wherever you are.
[with that said, she flies up after the little book]
Horror
I know why you shrieked. It's because I'm horrible. I frightened you!
Fantasy
Do I look afraid?
Horror
You mean you're not afraid?
Fantasy
Of course not. C'mon down.
Fantasy
You mustn't judge a book by its cover.
Adventure
Alright. Teatime's over. Let's start navigating this house.
[tired of waiting; takes a step closer to the haunted house]
Horror
No! Don't go in there! It's eerie inside!
[jumps out of Richard's arms]

I'm afraid.

Of what? I know how you feel.
[Horror begins to list his fears one by one on his crooked, triple-jointed fingers]

Nevermore!
Richard Tyler
He-hello? Is anybody home?
Dr. Jekyll
May I assist you in some way?
Fantasy
Hello, Mr.-
Dr. Jekyll
Doctor. Doctor Jekyll.
Richard
Well, sir, we did ring the bell.....
Horror
It's all my fault. I was trying to help them find their road to the other side of the house.
Dr. Jekyll
The other side? My boy, I derive no pleasure in warning you that you are in extreme danger.
[Richard nods. Dr. Jekyll places his arm around Richard and leads him deeper into the house]
Richard
Danger?
Dr. Jekyll
Even as we speak, lurking in this room waiting to strike are forces of evil.
Dr. Jekyll
Every man has possessed of both good and evil. But enough of that. Anyone care for a drink?
Fantasy
Dr. Jekyll? Dr. J?
Mr. Hyde
My name...is Mr. Hyde!
Adventure
The stairs, mateys! The stairs!
Horror
Help, Master! Don't leave me! That's no way to treat a library book. Sanctuary! Sanctuary! Sanctuary!

Childhood Fears and Tuna Sandwiches

Alan, every ten-year-old is afraid of something.
[offscreen; in bed]
Alan Tyler
The kid's afraid of tuna-fish sandwiches.
[offscreen; in bed]
Claire Tyler
Mercury levels in the tuna.
Alan Tyler
Whatever.
Claire Tyler
Alan, the world is a frightening place to him right now. I think we could be a little more supportive.
Alan Tyler
Supportive? I'm the most supportive father on earth, but I'm running out of supportive things to do. I signed him up for Little League, he drove everybody crazy with statistics about how you can develop tumors from being hit in the head with a ball. Did you know that shin splints can lead to blood clots in the legs? Claire, he brought in a medical journal. Nobody wanted to play after that. And now I'm building him a tree house, in a tree he refuses to climb.
[offscreen; Claire turns on a light; looks at the treehouse on a dark and stormy night]
Claire Tyler
You know he hates heights.
Alan Tyler
I don't know. I just want to be a good father.
Claire Tyler
But you are a good father.

Look, all I want is...
Mr. Dewey
Adventure! Of course, you're a boy who loves adventure, brimming with wicked demons, cutthroat pirates.
[grabbing him and speaking excitedly]
Richard Tyler
No, no. That's not it.
Mr. Dewey
Horror. Ahh, horror. Evil demons, wretched monsters, haunted houses, graveya-a-rds. Yes, it's horror for you, boy. I'm sure of it. Your library card, please.
[speaking scarily while creeping toward him; back to normal voice]
Richard Tyler
Uh, I don't have one.
Mr. Dewey

Fantasy
Hmm... Oops. Ha, ha, I forgot my wand doesn't always work outside of the fantasy section.
