Trailer #6: The Tavern

[EXT. FOREST - NIGHT. Crickets and wind can be heard in the trees.  A large tavern rests across the road, and shadows move around within.]

AMARA

(calling out) Heeey, Keep…where did you want me to put these again?

KEEPER

I told you, don’t call me that. And put the glasses up behind the bar.  Don’t forget to close the cabinet.

AMARA

Sure thing, Keep…er. Have I ever told you how weird it is to have padded slots for each individual cup?

KEEPER

Yes, many times.  By all means–leave them out.  If you like walking on broken glass.  If that happens, you’ll be buying me new ones next time we show up in a town.

AMARA

Fine, fine, I’m doing it–don’t go bald over it.

ELLIS

What about the chairs?  Should I just–

KEEPER

If you can just stack those on the tables, that would be ideal–thank you.

ELLIS

(curious) Sure thing. …So, Mr. Keeper…is all this prep really needed?  Every night?

KEEPER

It is.  Every night.  You get used to it.

[The sound of a clock chiming interrupts them.]

ELLIS

Oh no.

AMARA

GAH!  I thought we still had time–

KEEPER

Well, we obviously don’t!

AMARA, discombobulated

What do I do with the glasses?!

KEEPER

What do you think?!  Leave them!  Get down, both of you! AND HOLD ONTO SOMETHING!

ELLIS / AMARA

AAAAAAAH!

[Sound of glass shattering and bodies throwing themselves flat on the ground.  The clock chimes several times.  On the fourth chime, there is a massive thunderclap, a brilliant flash of light, and the Eagle’s screech echoing somewhere far, far away.  The tavern disappears with a puff of dust.  A crater is all that remains.]
