INT. RYKER ASYLUM - FOYER - CONTINUOUS
The door gets kicked open by Mason, he walks in
HAILEY
I'm not fucking going in there..
MASON
Good, walk home then.
ALEX
(To Hailey)
Why don't you wait here?
HAILEY
Wait here and do fucking what?
JAMES
(Sarcastic)
Well we can let Mason go by himself and get split up, that always works great in horror movies.
LEWIS
I'm gonna stay with the guy with the axe.
SARAH
(Whisper)
Doesn't he seem unstable to you? The guys out in the forest, hunting Satan worshippers with an axe.
ALEX
Yeah, it's called man's work.
Erin walks on and follows Mason and leaves them.
HAILEY
Erin! Where are you going! I can't walk back alone.
INT. RYKER ASYLUM - HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER
Mason is trudging down the hall, Erin catches up and starts walking beside him. They're alone.
ERIN
I knew you'd be here tonight, I saw you with all that camping stuff. I saw your map that had Ryker circle..
MASON
Who're you? You've spied on me?
ERIN
I wanted to talk today but I was too scared to knock on the door.
MASON
Who are you?..
ERIN
Don't you recognise me?
Mason looks at her.
MASON
.. I don't know.
ERIN
When you and my sister would walk to the store for treats, I used to beg you to take me with you. You used to carry me on your back even though you were only 5 years older than me. I used to fidget around even though I knew you could barely hold me. But you still wouldn't put me down until we were home.
