| - (amid the rural cornfields, a construction crew surrounded by stacked sewer pipes is wrapping-up work for the day. a radio plays faintly in the background) RADIO: ... coming up on five P.M., and you're listening to WZPZ 720 on your A.M. dial. Don't forget -- Lansdale High plays Hatfield tonight. This cross-town rivalry should make for a great game. Come on out and support the team. In fact, we've got four pairs of tickets to give away to the first four callers who can tell me the name of Hatfield's starting quarterback. The lines are open now, so now's your chance. CO-WORKER: Oh, come on. RAYMOND: Forgot my gear. CO-WORKER: Hurry, I don't want to miss kickoff. RADIO: (faintly) If you see anything or anyone suspicious, please contact Sheriff Golightly's office. All calls are anonymous. Well, that's it for me. Cheryl Clark is up next to keep you company on the way home. (easy listening music plays) CO-WORKER: Let's go, Raymond. What's the holdup? RAYMOND: (approaches his equipment) Just a second. (becomes distracted with the cornfield, the scarecrow and - a crow) (with easy listening Rick Nelson music wafting around, Raymond heads out of the staging area and deeper into the cornfield. noticing a dark blue anomaly just at the surface, he reaches down to touch it. the anomaly - a hand - reaches up and grabs him, dragging him underground) CREATURE: Raah! (the crow caws and a train whistles by) CO-WORKER: Raymond! Raymond! (searching without success)
