Luigi's Cafe. It's closed. CRYSTAL is sitting at a table with LUIGI and his daughter ROSALINDA. There is an open box on the table - a Voodoo kit - and a bottle of red wine. LUIGI is reading a leaflet, slowly.
LUIGI
"Your genuine Voodoo curse spell kit
contains a straw doll, a block of
Japanese cheddar, a hammer and -"
CRYSTAL
Cheddar?
LUIGI
Yes.
ROSALINDA
That's not cheddar.
ROSALINDA takes the leaflet from him and reads.
ROSALINDA
Cedar. Japanese cedar .. (She carries
on reading) A hammer, a large nail,
and two candles. (She paraphrases)
Be careful not to hurt your finger with
the hammer .. use the candles with care.
(She reads) "You should be careful to
name the intended victim to ensure
your curse doesn't fall on an innocent
bystander." Do you know his name,
Crystal?
CRYSTAL
Moose.
LUIGI
Moose?
CRYSTAL
Yes. His name was Mister Moose.
2. INT. LUIGI'S CAFE. EVENING.
LUIGI holds a large nail above the straw Voodoo doll. CRYSTAL, meanwhile, holds a hammer. Her eyes are tight shut. LUIGI watches her with some apprehension.
ROSALINDA
Crystal, you must keep your eyes open,
otherwise you won't be able to see what
you are doing. And the curse will be lost.
3. INT. LUIGI'S CAFE. EVENING.
Close on the Voodoo doll, the nail poised, and then - WHACK! - it's struck by the hammer deep into the Voodoo doll's torso. See LUIGI's relief that CRYSTAL didn't miss. Then, out of nowhere, CRYSTAL spits out with with surprising venom:
CRYSTAL
Let him be blasted with fire and lightning!
LUIGI and ROSALINDA look at each other: Crystal's going mad.
CRYSTAL
.. And laid before me!
