【正文】 CHARLIE What39。d the boss say? CORALINE (MOCKING) Don39。t even think about going out, Coraline Jones. CHARLIE Then you won39。t need the tools. Coraline GROANS, stamps her feet. Charlie just taps harder on the keys. Pouting, she makes the door squeak, opening and shutting it till he can39。t take any more. He spins around. CHARLIE (CONT39。D) Uhhh, you know, this house is a hundred and fifty years old. CORALINE So? CHARLIE So explore it! He grabs a pen and pad, holds it out. CHARLIE (CONT39。D) Go out and ... count all the doors and windows and write that down. List everything blue! (BEGGING) Just let me work. She rolls her eyes, takes paper and pen and leaves. MONTAGE, VARIOUS SAME HALLWAY NEAR STAIRS Coraline, with doll, jumps on BUMP in carpet that moves with each jump. LAUNDRY ROOM/WINTER GARDEN She wipes off the misted glass so she and the doll can see out, then writes in her pad: 7 leaky windows. A drop of water lands on the pad, smearing the ink. She adds really between 7 and leaky windows. HALLWAY NEAR STAIRS Coraline thumps the carpet bump again and pounds up the stairs. PARENT39。S ROOM/BATHROOM A FRAMED PHOTO sits in the foreground on a beside table. It shows a younger, happier Coraline with her parents by the BEAR FOUNTAIN at the Detroit Zoo. RACK FOCUS to bedroom door as it swings into the room, with Coraline hanging on it. She drops to the ground and, doll and pad in hand, decides to check out the bathroom. When she pulls aside the mildewed shower curtain she finds a hundred skittering SILVERFISH BUGS. CORALINE E! Disgusted, she jumps into the tub and smashes as many as she can. She turns on the faucet to wash her hands, only to get soaked with rusty water from the shower head. CORALINE (CONT39。D) Ahh!! She shakes out her hair. HALLWAY NEAR STAIRS Coraline pounds down the stairs, spots the carpet bump again in the hallway and jumps on it. A closet door opens, a light on inside, and she goes to investigate. WATER HEATER CLOSET ANGLE OVER water heater on Coraline. She jots down one rusty water heater in her pad. As she leaves, she flicks off the light switch, not noticing a note taped beside it that says: Do not turn off! INT. STUDY SAME Lights flicker and then Charlie39。s puter dies. He hollers. CHARLIE No, no, no, no, no。 GAAAA! INT. HALLWAY SAME CHARLIE (.) AAAAAAA! Coraline reacts with guilty alarm, runs back to the closet and INT. CLOSET SAME spots the Do not turn off note. She flips the light switch back on and gets out of there. INT. LIVING ROOM SAME The room is faded and cold with bare windows looking out on rain and gray. The floor is strewn with moving boxes, a few pieces of furniture, Charlie39。s old Nordic Track. A few garden tools lean against one wall。 a cardboard mattress box leans against a corner wall. Coraline enters, counting windows and doors to note in her pad. She sets the doll on a low table beside an open moving box and smiles. The box is filled with her mom39。s collection of SNOWGLOBES. She takes out her favorite the BEAR FOUNTAIN AT THE DETROIT ZOO and shakes it. She studies the globe and sighs with homesickness. She sets it carefully on the FIREPLACE MANTEL, then unwraps the rest of the snowglobes and places them beside it. Over the mantel hangs a PAINTING of a CRYING BOY IN BLUE a scoop of ice cream melting on his shirt, his hand holding an EMPTY CONE. Coraline takes up pad and pen and adds to her list, muttering aloud. CORALINE One boring blue boy in a painfully boring painting ... four incredibly boring windows ... and no... more... doors... She turns to grab the doll off the table by the snow globe box. It39。s gone.
