Eli's Coming

Hide your heart, girl. (listening to: Nothing)

DAN
Eli's coming.

CASEY
Eli?

DAN
From the Three Dog Night song.

CASEY
Yes.

DAN
Eli's something bad. A darkness.

CASEY
"Eli's coming, hide your heart girl."
Eli's an inveterate womanizer. I think
you're getting the song wrong.

DAN
I know I'm getting the song wrong, but
when I first heard it, that's what I
always thought it meant, and things
stick with you that way.

They say it's always calmest before
the storm. That's not true. I'm a
serious sailor. It isn't calm before
the storm. Stuff happens.

Eli's coming.

She walked, but she never got away.
