Things get wonky due to screenplay formatting but here it is:
INT. DINER - LATE NIGHT
A dull and barren diner lays nearly empty. One customer sits at the bar with a half-eaten plate of food. A 30s hipster Asian man, BEAU, talks on the phone. Another untouched meal sits next to him.
BEAU
So I’ll pick you up at the terminal at 5? I’ll tell Sakari you say hi, if she even shows up at all. It’ll be good to have you home. Love you.
Beau hangs up the phone as he continues to pick at his plate.
An older WAITRESS comes up.
WAITRESS
Gonna start packing up soon. Need anything else?
Beau shakes his head. The older waitress goes to the kitchen.
Beau hears the BELL chime behind him.
BEAU
About time. Your eggs are cold-
A dirty and bruised figure scrambles into the diner. SAKARI, an early 30s woman, stumbles onto the floor.
Beau stands in surprise and rushes over.
BEAU
What happened?
SAKARI
It’s coming! We have to go!
The sound of rain outside fades.
Sakari drags Beau to the door but stops inches from it.
Outside there is nothing but an inky black void.
BEAU
What is that?
SAKARI
Out the back. Come on.
Sakari moves, but Beau stays rooted in place. His gaze is fixed on the void outside.
SAKARI
No no no no no. Please. Not you too. C’mon Beau.
She tries to shake him out of it, but Beau remains frozen in place, dead to the world.
Lights flicker. She tries to drag Beau but he’s too heavy.
She looks frantically for an escape, but the void is closing in.
She drops Beau, who hits his head. A small trickle of blood flows on the ground. The void swallows him.
Sakari is cornered, facing the void.
Her screams echo through the diner.
All sounds cease and the lights return to normal.
Beau snaps out of his trance. He’s back in his chair finishing his plate.
He rubs the back of his head in pain. It is no longer bleeding.
The meal next to him is no longer there.
The waitress comes out of the backroom to deliver the check.
BEAU
Stood-up once again. Can you believe it?
WAITRESS
You’ll get ‘em next time sweetie.
BEAU
Thanks as always.
Beau walks out, stepping around a newly placed Wet Floor sign.
The waitress gets a mop and mindlessly cleans the faint bloodstains on the floor.
WAITRESS
Darn ketchup stains.
