Scene 2
(EXT. THEN INT. BILLIARD/NIGHT)

The full moon. Two guys playing billiard; one of the is Tom, 25. He is telling his best friend Jonathan, 28, about a series of strange dreams he’s been experiencing lately.

TOM
Good shot partner…

JONATHAN

At its best… ME!

TOM
Bro, this is crazy

JONATHAN

Now what? Is Sarah cheating on you?

JONATHAN with a funny face and TOM with an old and weary look.

TOM

Hey, hey – hope not, jerk, I am worried about my dreams… Dude, it’s a fucking crazy dream…

JONATHAN

Here we go again, a ghost believer. Did you see that stupid remake of Ghostbusters? Maybe you fell asleep thinking on that!

TOM

No, I didn’t. I don’t know man, it’s like somebody is trying to tell me something as soon as I fall asleep.

JONATHAN

No, you’re not dreaming man, and it’s me. I want to tell you that I want another beer!

Pufff!

(TOM is lost in thought)

TOM

I see blood… I’m serious Jon. I’m serious about this. I’m not joking.

I also see a number that I can’t fucking remember…

JONATHAN

It’s the number 1. And you have it in front of you…

(JONATHAN laughs)

(TOM takes the black ball – #8 – and look at it closely)
