Page 2 of 3
[Robbie, Ray and Rachel are fleeing the tripods along the highway]

Where are we going?!

Ray

We gotta go! We got to be the only working car around here. I'm not stopping until we are clear.

Clear of what?!

Ray

We gotta go!

What is going on?!

Ray

You saw! We're under attack!!

[Rachel begins to cry and scream hysterically]

By who?! Who is attacking us?!

Ray

Rachel... Rachel you've got to keep it down Rachel!

Ray
[Rachel, still crying, starts to hyperventilate]

Rachel! Shut up, Rachael! I can't think!!

You are freaking her out!!

Ray

Well, look, I'm driving!! Do something!!

[Robbie turns to Rachel and shows her an arm formation]

Okay, put 'em up, Rache. Make the arms. [Rachel copies the formation, still panicking. Robbie holds her arms] This space right here, this is yours. This belongs to you, right?

[taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself]

Yes...

[reassuring her]

You're safe in your space.

I'm safe in my space...

You're safe in your space. Nothing is going to happen to you in your space.

I'm really scared...

I'm gonna go to the front seat to talk to Dad.

No...

I will be two feet away, okay. Will you hold my hand?

Yes.

Are you gonna be okay?

Yes.

[crying, and softly hitting him]

Robbie! What are you trying to do?! Where are you trying to go?! Who's going to take care of me if you go?!

[first lines]

No one would have believed, in the early years of the 21st century, that our world was being watched by intelligences greater than our own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns, they observed and studied, the way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency, men went to and fro about the globe, confident of our empire over this world. Yet, across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cruel and unsympathetic regarded our planet with envious eyes...and slowly, and surely, drew their plans against us.

[last lines]

From the moment the invaders arrived, breathed our air, ate and drank, they were doomed. They were undone, destroyed, after all of man's weapons and devices had failed, by the tiniest creatures that God in his wisdom put upon this Earth. By the toll of a billion deaths, man had earned his immunity, his right to survive among this planet's infinite organisms. And that right is ours against all challenges. For neither do men live nor die in vain.

[to Robbie]

Okay, hey, enough of the "Ray" shoot, alright! It's Dad, Sir, or, if you want, Mr. Ferrier. It sounds a little weird to me, but you decide.
