[align=center]A diary worth dying for...
Or at least getting really, really hurt...

             EXT. ANCIENT HOUSE -- MORNING

            Stanford (RORY CULKIN) rests his bike against the wall,
            then straightens his pants as he looks up at the house. It
            stands there, ancient and scary as ever in the chilly air of fall.

            He steps towards the door and reaches for the doorknob
            when -- CRASH from inside the house. Startled, Stanford jumps

                                  KNOX (O.S.)
                      Damnit!

            And instantly recoils at the swear word.

                                  KNOX (O.S.)
                      Stupid box!

            Stanford drops to his knees and silently and shakingly edges
            towards the window. He peeks in through the glass...

            INT. ANCIENT HOUSE -- MORNING

            Where an intensely goofy-looking man, Knox (JOHNNY KNOXVILLE),
            violently kicks at an old fallen box.

                                  KNOX
                           (between kicks)
                      Stupid... Stupid... Stupid...

            As he gives the box a royal beating, another man, a smarmy-
            looking greaser, Nance (JUSTIN THEROUX), walks up and smacks
            him on the head.

                                  KNOX
                      Ow!

                                  NANCE
                      Knox, could you please quit kicking
                      the box's rear end?!

            Knox looks at the box. It reads: "THIS SIDE UP" with a red
            arrow pointing to the opening. His face reads: "Ahhh".

                                  NANCE
                      Stupid moron...

              Knox sneers at the box, before continuing to dig into the
              other boxes as well. A beat. Then he looks up.

                                    KNOX
                        What did it look like, again?

              Nance glares at him, incredulously.

                                    NANCE
                        Like an old damn diary!

            Nance is already tossing over more boxes when

            A CRASH of glass from the other side of the room startles
            them. Knox and Nance whip around, eying the remaining shards
            of the window and the offending stone that broke it.

                                  NANCE
                      Glass crack...

                                  KNOX
                      No kidding.

            Nance cautiously walks over towards the window, feeling the
            window frame and sniffing the air like a seasoned tracker.

            A SHADOW rushes past, behind them. Stanford, carrying a pole,
            ducks and rolls into the shadows behind a stuffed bear.

            After a few more glances out the window and then around the
            room, Nance raises his finger with finality.

                                  NANCE
                      It's a daring adventure-loving kid!

            Stanford's eyes widen in shock.

                                  KNOX
                      Whoa! How'd you know?

            Nance shrugs.

                                  NANCE
                      Weren't you a kid once? Who else
                      would be so stupid?

            Knox grumbles.

            Stanford breathes a sigh of relief. He peeks out from behind
            the grizzly, sees the two nosing into more antiques, and
            then starts glancing around, looking for the book.

            From his level, he scans the room, scans the room, then spots
            it sitting under the dusty bed. Again, it seems to beckon at
            him. Cautiously, he sticks his metal pole out, weaves it
            through furniture, under the bed... Inches short.

            Stanford grimaces, then pulls the pole back and leans it
            against the wall, next to a small window.

            Then he slowly crawls out of the shadows.

            As he tip-toes closer and closer towards the book...

                                  KNOX
                      Hey, Nance!

            Stanford freezes in panic.

                                  KNOX
                      You checked under the bed?

            Knox slowly turns around towards the bed, at Stanford's
            direction, finding...

                                  KNOX
                      It's a high bed... There's a lot of
                      space, down there. Loooootsa place
                      to put secret stuff!

            From under the bed, Stanford's eyes anxiously dart left and
            right. Sweat glistens off his forehead. He grasps the diary
            in his hands, dust clinging to its cover.

            Nance looks at Knox, incredulous.

                                  NANCE
                      Are you stupid?

                                  KNOX
                      Well...

                                  NANCE
                      That was rhetorical! Now, tell me,
                      why would anyone put anything under
                      their stinking bed?

            Knox thinks for a moment, gives up. Nance flashes him an "I
            told you so" look. Knox grumbles and kicks another box.

            Now that he has the book, Stanford eyes the front door and
            the impossible 10-feet dash to safety. He creeps closer to
            the edge, waits for the perfect moment but he's startled as

            Nance slams another box onto the floor in frustration.

                                  NANCE
                      Fine! Check the stupid bed, already.

            Uh oh.

            Knox grins, "I told you so" and starts for the bed as

            Stanford frantically looks around for an escape.

            Knox half-skips over to the bed, leans down, then PULLS the
            bed-cover off to the side and onto the floor.

            As he does this, there's a strange rolling/clunking sound
            but he doesn't notice. He peers under the bed.

                                  KNOX
                      Nope. Nothing.

                                  NANCE
                      See! I told you, you imbecile!

            Knox gets up with a grunt, then stares at the pile bed-cover
            with frustration. He sneers at the sheets. Then KICKS it.

                                  STANFORD (O.S.)
                      Owww....

            Nance and Knox whip around and stare at the pile in disbelief.

                                  STANFORD (O.S.)
                      ...wwwhooo... Whooooo.... Whoosh.

            Finally, he stops his woeful attempts to sound like wind.

                                  STANFORD (O.S.)
                      Never mind.

            A look of rage crosses Nance's face.

                                  NANCE
                      It's a stupid kid!

            Nance YANKS the cover loose. Revealing...

                                  STANFORD
                      I think you meant daring and adventure-
                      loving kid.

            Nance and Knox stare at him, incredulous. Before spotting...

                                  KNOX
                      The book!

                                  NANCE
                      I think I meant, dead!
