Dana is hooked up to the Aura-Video Analyzer. 

She is now upstairs on the second floor being interviewed by Peter, Ray, and Egon.

The Analyzer's monitor displays Dana's head in several different colors. 

Dana is at the end of Her Story.

DANA : 

And This Voice said "Zuul," 

and then I slammed the refrigerator door and I left. 

That was two days ago, 

and I haven't been back to my apartment.

VENKMAN: 

Generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance. 

What do you think it was?

Ray switches off the Analyzer's monitor. 

Egon is seated next to Dana looking at her with a head light. 

He removes the diodes from her head. 

Dana gets annoyed.

DANA : 

Well, if I knew what it was 

I wouldn't be here.

VENKMAN: 

Egon, what do you think?

Egon turns to Peter with his head lamp still on. Peter is blinded. 

He swats at the air until Egon clicks the light off. 

Peter opens his eyes. 

EGON : 

She's Telling The Truth. 

At least, she thinks she is.

DANA: 

Well, of course 

I'm Telling The Truth! 

Wh-who would make up 

A Story like that?

VENKMAN: 

Some are people who just want attention. 

Others, just nutballs who come in off the street.

Ray, with a Budweiser can in his hand, starts to speculate.

RAY: 

You know what it could be? 

Past Life Experience 

intruding on present time.

He sits. Egon walks over to the couch and grabs a Cheez-Its box.

EGON : 

Could be A Race Memory stored in The Collective Unconscious —

I wouldn't rule out Clairvoyance 

or Telepathic Contact, either.

Dana is skeptical and scoffs.

DANA : 

I'm sorry, I don't believe in 

any of those things.

Peter goes next to her.

VENKMAN: 

Well, that's alright — 

I don't either.

Egon and Ray exchanged looks. 

VENKMAN: 

But there are some things we do...

He walks behind Dana and gestures to Ray and Egon to make something up. 

VENKMAN: 

...standard procedures we carry out 

in a case like this which often bring us results.

RAY : 

Well, I could go down to Hall of Records and check out the structural details on The Building. 

Maybe The Building itself has 

A History of Psychic Turbulence.

VENKMAN: 

Right. Good idea.

EGON: 

I could look for The Name ‘Zuul’ 

in The Usual Literature.

RAY : 

Spake’s Catalog.

EGON: 

Tobin's Spirit Guide.

RAY: 

Yeah.

VENKMAN: 

Tell you what —

I'll take Miss Barrett back to her apartment 

and check her out.

She looks up at him. 

VENKMAN: 

I'll go check out Miss Barrett's apartment.

Neo’s Leap

EXT. MOUNTAIN TOP, LATE DAY (CONSTRUCT)

TRINITY sits alone on the tip of an impossibly high finger of rock. It looks like it sits on the rooftop of the world. All around her, as far as the eye can see, lie mountains. Their snow-capped peaks are pink in the sunset light.

She looks into the sunset. Heavy thoughts weigh on her mind.

A hand appears on her shoulder. It’s NEO. How he got on the finger of rock is anyone’s guess.

 

NEO

Boo.

TRINITY grins slightly and pulls on his arm. 

There is only enough room for one on the end of the rock, so he sits down behind her.

 

TRINITY

 "Don’t lose your balance."

NEO

It doesn’t matter if I do.

TRINITY

So, you can fly.

NEO

Yes.

TRINITY

Do you think I can?

NEO

I think you can do anything you want, if you believe.

TRINITY

Like you?

 NEO

 "I don’t know. 

I don’t know exactly what I can do."

 TRINITY half turns.

 TRINITY

 "Will you teach me to fly?"

 NEO

 "I don’t know if I can."

 TRINITY

 "Free your mind of doubt."

NEO stands, and steps in front of TRINITY. He’s on the very, very edge

of the rock. He extends his hand down to her. She grabs it, and he

hauls her up. Her eyes dart to the ground, thousands of feet below the

finger.

 TRINITY

 "In this construct program, the ground can kill."

 NEO

 "I won’t let you fall. Ever."

THEY look into each other’s eyes. Despite the trauma they’ve been

through, and not even truly knowing one another, there’s a connection.

NEO suddenly backs away. He walks on the air with perfect traction, as

though he’s on an invisible plane of glass. He leaves TRINITY standing

precariously on the edge, wobbling a bit as she maintains balance

against nerves. She breathes deep, and looks back up at NEO,

maintaining her cool even as she eyes the spectacle.

NEO stands a few feet away from her, completely at ease as the high

altitude winds ruffle his hair.

NEO extends a hand to her.

 NEO

"It’s not real, Trinity. You’re not standing there. Step out. I can do

 it. You can, too."

With one last glance at the infinite drop, she steadies herself and

stares straight into his eyes. Blue meet brown. Breathless, she steps

straight out.

She takes one step in the air. For a breathless second, as she steps

off the edge, she is stable. When she takes her foot off the edge,

though, she sways, and her foot slips, as though she’s on a greasy

surface bobbing up and down. She corrects herself, tries another step,

sags further.

 TRINITY

 "Shit."

SHE glances down, then locks eyes with NEO. Then drops like an anvil.

 NEO

 "Whoops."

HE dives down, shooting like a missile. TRINITY is calm, falling

backwards, watching NEO come for her. The rocky ground looms behind

her. She makes no effort to reach for NEO as he draws close to her. HE

reaches for her with all his might.

 NEO

 "Grab me!"

TRINITY makes no effort to save herself, even as collision is seconds

away. She stares at him intently.

 NEO

 "Grab on to me!"

SEEING she is doing nothing, he goes beneath her and scoops her up,

Superman style. He barely accomplishes this before he slows and

settles onto the rocky ground.

They are in a twilight glade shaded by the mountains.

 NEO

 "What the hell were you doing?"

 TRINITY smiles slightly. Her madness has a purpose.

 TRINITY

 "Showing you, Neo."

 NEO

 "Showing me what? You nearly gave me a heart attack."

 TRINITY

 "I want you to know how much faith I have in you."

 NEO

 "Oh. And this requires acts of insanity?"

TRINITY smiles. She looks him up and down. She moves intimately close.

 "So, you really are Superman."

NEO

 "Only when I’m plugged in."

 TRINITY steps away. NEO grabs her shoulder and turns her to him. He

 attempts a

 kiss, but she turns her face, letting it land on her cheek.

 NEO

 "What?"

 TRINITY looks at him, then up at the sky.

 TRINITY

 "It’s not you. Just, not here."

 NEO doesn’t understand. TRINITY rolls her eyes.

 

TRINITY

They’re watching us, you big dope. 

Do you know how horny computer geeks get?

INT. MAIN BRIDGE

CHOI, RAZOR, DUJOUR, and CIRCA are sitting around the operator’s

console, feet up, eating. On the screens are patchy images of TRINITY

and NEO standing together in the GLADE. It’s like they’re watching a

soap opera.

TRINITY and NEO are looking in their direction.

ON THE interface chairs, the bodies of TRINITY and NEO lay supine.

EXT. GLADE (CONSTRUCT)

TRINITY grabs NEO by the arm.

TRINITY

Over here."

 SHE leads him into the shadows.

INT. MAIN BRIDGE

THE VOYEURISTIC crewmembers collectively groan as the lovers disappear off the screen and into the darkness.

RAZOR puts his hand on CIRCA’S shoulder and sighs.

 

RAZOR

So romantic.

CIRCA calmly pats his hand and removes it, holding it in front of him.

CIRCA

I’m sure Mary Palmer will appreciate your mood more than I.

EXT. GLADE (CONSTRUCT)

IN the blue twilight shade, NEO and TRINITY kiss tentatively, slowly, then quicker as they give in to their feelings for one another. 

WE move around them slowly, then pan into the shadows, a natural fadeout.
