INT. TREATMENT CENTER DAY ROOM - DAY

               The Demented Woman who talks to cigarettes, strides
               purposefully up to Alex, who is staring out the window and
               writing notes in a personal journal.  Alex sees her coming
               and quickly closes the journal and clicks the cover's lock
               closed.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         We need to talk.

                                   ALEX
                         What do you need chief.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         Don't call me that.

                                   ALEX
                         You asked me to call you that last
                         week.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         I'm not him anymore.  I'm me
                         today.

                                   ALEX
                         Ok.

               The Demented Woman drags Alex to a unoccupied corner and
               her eyes flit around the room before she focuses in on
               Alex.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         You need to tell me something.

                                   ALEX
                         What.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         You tell me.

                                   ALEX
                         Tell you what?

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         You fretting again.

                                   ALEX
                         I'm lost here honey.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         Maybe you need to talk to him and
                         not to me.

                                   ALEX
                         Him?

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         Your man.

                                   ALEX
                         I don't have one.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         I'm crazy, but not that crazy.  I
                         saw it.  In this very room.

                                   ALEX
                         Ok Sweetie, what ever you say.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         I know why you are afraid.

                                   ALEX
                         I'm not afraid.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         You have been since you got here,
                         waiting for them to find you.
                         But it's worse now.  Now you have
                         something to lose.  You need to
                         talk to someone.  If it's not
                         him, it should be me.

                                   ALEX
                         I really don't know what you
                         want.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         Do you know why it's good to talk
                         to a crazy woman?  You can tell
                         us anything and no one would
                         believe us if we told them.

                                   ALEX
                         Who do you talk to?

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         My cigarettes.

                                   ALEX
                         Why?

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         Cause I can tell them anything,
                         they listen, then I smoke em so
                         they can't tell anyone else.

                                   ALEX
                         Good strategy, I guess.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         Want to know my secret?

                                   ALEX
                         Sure.

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         I hate to smoke.  I just do it to
                         kill them so they can't rat me
                         out.

                                   ALEX
                         So, your secret is you are a
                         killer?

                                   DEMENTED WOMAN
                         Just like you.

               ALEX freezes.
