Missing scene from 'Cave of Fear'
INT – ENTRANCE TO CAVE
MARGUERITE makes her way slowly
out of the cave, shrinking back from the walls. ROXTON is not far behind, a hand
on her arm to help keep her steady. SUMMERLEE follows them both, Lapprand's naked
skull in his hands. Just inside, he stops and looks closely at an oozing glob
of the green fungus. Roxton notices Summerlee isn't behind him, and turns back.
ROXTON
Summerlee? What are you waiting for, man? Let's get the hell out of here!
SUMMERLEE
No, John. I think we can still make some use of this fungus. As long
as we're careful.
Roxton stops beside Summerlee
in time to see him hold the bones under the fungus, letting the slime drip and slide along the smooth surface. Marguerite grimaces as she watches from afar.
SUMMERLEE
Quickly! Open the pouch!
Roxton rushes to get the open
canvas sack under the skull. Summerlee drops it in and checks his fingers to
make sure there is no fungus on them. He and Roxton join Marguerite outside.
MARGUERITE
(eyeing the pouch distastefully)
You want to tell me what THAT
was all about?
ROXTON
Yes, Professor. Do you know something we don't?
