Production Notes: Script - Descent (Verse 3)

The Deep Ones Script

By David Reichen

Verse 3 - Descent

* The Swim -
"Kiss your old life goodbye, your life begins anew"

The Deep Ones group swims out to open water.

* Dive -
"Dive into the ocean blue. Land no longer has a hold on you."

The Deep Ones dive below the surface and continue to swim deeper.

* Going Deeper -
"Flee the land return to the sea, escape reality's nightmare."
"Far from shore you can be free, come join us down in our lair."

The Deep Ones approach the dark shape of a Giant Squid. They wait for the girl to slip into a pressure suit. The others were already wearing them, which is why they appeared as dark shape when they were on land. Everyone grabs onto the squid; except the kid, he is held in one of the squids tentacles. They then continue their swim to deeper water and toward a circle of light.

* The Lair -
"Luring you down to the sea, the sirens sing so longingly."
"Luring you down to the sea, down with the deep ones you will be"
"Dagon! Is the one that we follow."
"Dagon! Unleash the beast."
"Dagon! Is the one that you follow."
"Dagon! Unleash the beast."

The Deep Ones slowly disappear into the light. The following text blocks are layered on top: {We shall swim out to that brooding reef in the sea}, {and dive down through black abysses}, {to Cyclopean and many columned Y'ha-nthlei}, {and in that lair of the Deep Ones}.

* Forever -
Bridge between verse three and verse four.

As the view rises above the surface, the sun comes over the horizon. The follow text blocks are displayed: {we shall dwell admist wonder and glory FOREVER}, {"Shadow over Innsmouth," by Howard Phillips Lovecraft}

Note:
This is were we find out that the lair of the deep ones was not destroyed and the quoet at the end refers this story back to the ending of Shadow over Innsmouth. Perhaps the guy in the story did find a way to go back for his cousin.
