Ariel
Ariel
You’re saying the clown that was chasing you just now…
Ariel
Ariel
Was my boyfriend?
Lauren
Lauren
I know it was him.
Ariel
Ariel
But you barely know him!
Lauren
Lauren
I’m 100% certain.
Lauren
Lauren
Even under the makeup, I could see his birthmark.
Ariel
Ariel
Oh my god…
Ariel
Ariel
This explains why he was acting so weird.
Lauren
Lauren
What do you mean?
Ariel
Ariel
Earlier today, he was being all emo.
Ariel
Ariel
He was really out of it.
Ariel
Ariel
Every time I tried to take a selfie, he pushed my hand down.
Lauren
Lauren
I mean, can you blame him?
Lauren
Lauren
You take like a million selfies a day.
Ariel
Ariel
This isn’t a joke Lauren!
Ariel
Ariel
He was really angry about something.
Ariel
Ariel
We got in a fight. That’s why I went on the Ferris wheel alone.
Lauren
Lauren
And now he’s wreaking havoc at the carnival…
Lauren
Lauren
and gassing people’s faces…
Lauren
Lauren
with a bunch of demented clowns?
Ariel
Ariel
What is he thinking??
Ariel
Ariel
I’m going to get some answers.
Ariel
Ariel
…
Ariel
Ariel
Drew?
Ariel
Ariel
We need to talk.
Ariel
Ariel
Lauren saw you with the clowns!
Ariel
Ariel
Please. Talk to me.
Drew
Drew
Where are you?
Ariel
Ariel
Stuck on the Ferris wheel.
Drew
Drew
So you’re safe?
Ariel
Ariel
For now.
Drew
Drew
Good. Just stay out of it.
Ariel
Ariel
Drew, why are you doing this?
Drew
Drew
You wouldn’t understand.
Drew
Drew
You’ve never been a clown.
Drew
Drew
You don’t know what it’s like.
Ariel
Ariel
What’s that supposed to mean?
Drew
Drew
You’re popular! Okay, Ariel?
Drew
Drew
And you’re pretty, and everyone likes you.
Drew
Drew
I know your friends think you’re crazy for dating me.
Drew
Drew
I’m a loner.
Drew
Drew
I’m quiet.
Drew
Drew
I’m just that weird gamer kid.
Drew
Drew
Never invited to a party unless I’m with you.
Drew
Drew
In other words…
Drew
Drew
I’m a clown.
Drew
Drew
Which is something you’ll never understand.
Drew
Drew
Because everyone worships you.
Ariel
Ariel
I hate when you talk like this.
Ariel
Ariel
You think being quiet is a bad thing?
Ariel
Ariel
It’s part of why I like you.
Ariel
Ariel
You’re calm, always thinking.
Ariel
Ariel
I remember when we first met in chemistry class.
Drew
Drew
For that dumb assignment on electron orbitals.
Ariel
Ariel
You were the first guy who didn’t just talk over me.
Ariel
Ariel
You actually listened.
Drew
Drew
Well, you were the only person who would talk to me.
Drew
Drew
People see this birthmark on my cheek…
Drew
Drew
and they think I’m demented or something.
Ariel
Ariel
Everyone has something wrong with them, Drew.
Drew
Drew
But everyone hides it.
Drew
Drew
That’s why I’m doing this.
Drew
Drew
We wanted to expose people for who they really are.
Ariel
Ariel
So it’s true?
Ariel
Ariel
You’re really behind this??
Drew
Drew
It wasn’t supposed to go this far.
Ariel
Ariel
I can’t believe you would do something so horrible.
Drew
Drew
It was just a prank.
Drew
Drew
Draw out peoples’ ugliness…
Drew
Drew
Post photos of their true ugly selves…
Drew
Drew
And show them that they’re no better than someone like me…
Drew
Drew
But things have gotten way out of hand.
Ariel
Ariel
What did you think would happen?!
Drew
Drew
Just stay on the Ferris wheel, okay?
Drew
Drew
Everything will be fine.
Ariel
Ariel
Fine?
Ariel
Ariel
ARE YOU CRAZY??
Ariel
Ariel
You’ll go to jail!
Drew
Drew
Not if I stop it before it gets worse.
Ariel
Ariel
Drew, I can see clowns all over this carnival.
Ariel
Ariel
How can you possibly stop it?
Drew
Drew
I have a plan.
Ariel
Ariel
And I’m supposed to believe that?
Ariel
Ariel
After everything you’ve done?
Drew
Drew
You have to.
Ariel
Ariel
Why?
Drew
Drew
Because I’m the only one who can save you…
Drew
Drew
and Lauren.
Ariel
Ariel
Lauren is safe now. No thanks to you!
Drew
Drew
What do you mean?
Ariel
Ariel
I helped Lauren find a place to hide.
Ariel
Ariel
Away from the chaos.
Drew
Drew
No place on the ground is safe.
Drew
Drew
You have to help me find her.
Drew
Drew
Before it’s too late.
Ariel
Ariel
And what if I don’t help you?
Drew
Drew
Then someone else will find her.
Drew
Drew
And it won’t be pretty.
Ariel
Ariel
Okay. I’ll tell you where she is.
Ariel
Ariel
…
Ariel
Ariel
You there?
Lauren
Lauren
Yeah. These animals smell gross, but I’m safe.
Ariel
Ariel
You trust me, right?
Lauren
Lauren
Of course
Lauren
Lauren
Wait…
Ariel
Ariel
What?
Lauren
Lauren
Drew is walking this way! I think he saw me.
Ariel
Ariel
I told him where to find you.
Lauren
Lauren
What? Why?!
Ariel
Ariel
Trust me. We have a plan.
Lauren
Lauren
Oh come on. No.
Lauren
Lauren
This better be good.
Ariel
Ariel
Hang on… something is happening
Ariel
Ariel
There are clowns gathering under the Ferris wheel.
Lauren
Lauren
What are they doing?
Ariel
Ariel
They’re pointing at the people stuck on the cars.
Ariel
Ariel
OMG
Ariel
Ariel
They’re climbing up the Ferris wheel!
Lauren
Lauren
Can you hide?
Ariel
Ariel
They saw me already!
Ariel
Ariel
I’m near the top…
Ariel
Ariel
OMG
Lauren
Lauren
What?
Ariel
Ariel
They’re harassing this guy and his girlfriend two cars down from me…
Ariel
Ariel
The clowns just sprayed their faces with the gas!
Ariel
Ariel
Oh god.
Ariel
Ariel
It’s horrible.
Ariel
Ariel
Their skin is melting!
Lauren
Lauren
That’s disgusting.
Lauren
Lauren
These clowns are scum.
Lauren
Lauren
What’s happening to the couple?
Ariel
Ariel
The clowns just took a selfie with them.
Ariel
Ariel
I need to get off this ride.
Lauren
Lauren
You won’t survive a fall like that!
Ariel
Ariel
I have no choice. I’m climbing down.
Lauren
Lauren
You’d rather risk dying than mess up your pretty face?
Lauren
Lauren
Ari?
Lauren
Lauren
Are you there??
Lauren
Lauren
I think something is happening.
Lauren
Lauren
The clowns are taking their mayhem to the next phase.
Lauren
Lauren
Some of them just spotted Drew and me in the zoo!
Lauren
Lauren
We’re running, but I can see them. They’re spraying the animals.
Lauren
Lauren
They released them!
Lauren
Lauren
Demented animals are loose in the carnival…
Lauren
Lauren
ARE YOU THERE??
Ariel
Ariel
I made it to a lower car on the other side.
Lauren
Lauren
The clowns are pulling people off other rides now.
Ariel
Ariel
I see it.
Ariel
Ariel
They set fire to the rollercoaster cars.
Ariel
Ariel
I think they just reached the gas tank—it’s exploding like fireworks.
Ariel
Ariel
The rollercoaster just went up in flames!
Lauren
Lauren
It’s madness down here.
Lauren
Lauren
People with disfigured faces running for their lives…
Ariel
Ariel
They’re bringing torches to the Ferris wheel!
Ariel
Ariel
I’m going to jump.
Lauren
Lauren
WHAT?!
Lauren
Lauren
Ari??
Lauren
Lauren
Ari, are you okay?
Lauren
Lauren
HELLO??
Ariel
Ariel
I made it down...
Ariel
Ariel
But my ankle’s hurt.
Lauren
Lauren
I just heard something explode!
Ariel
Ariel
It was the Ferris wheel.
Ariel
Ariel
I escaped just in time.
Ariel
Ariel
They blew up the base…
Ariel
Ariel
And the giant wheel is rolling down the fairground.
Ariel
Ariel
Crushing everyone in its path.
Lauren
Lauren
Oh my god…
Ariel
Ariel
…
Ariel
Ariel
I hope you’re seeing this Drew.
Ariel
Ariel
People are dying.
Drew
Drew
We’re the only ones who can stop it.
Ariel
Ariel
How??
Drew
Drew
We need to lure all the clowns to one location.
Drew
Drew
And trap them.
Ariel
Ariel
Maybe one of the rides?
Drew
Drew
Yes! I think I see something…
Drew
Drew
Splash Mountain.
Drew
Drew
There’s a net below the waterfall…to catch anyone that slips.
Drew
Drew
Do you see it?
Ariel
Ariel
Yeah…it’s suspended over the water.
Ariel
Ariel
It looks like the net is held up by poles on either side of the waterfall.
Drew
Drew
Yup.
Drew
Drew
If we could get the clowns into the lake under the waterfall, maybe…
Ariel
Ariel
We could cut the ropes and trap them beneath the net!
Drew
Drew
At least until the police come.
Ariel
Ariel
But how can we get the clowns all in one place?
Drew
Drew
We need bait. Something they really want.
Ariel
Ariel
Like what?
Drew
Drew
I have an idea.
Drew
Drew
But you’re not going to like it.
Ariel
