EATING CONTEST
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

EXT. DIRT ROAD -- AFTERNOON
The sun shines brightly down on the quiet country road. A breeze rustles the leaves in the trees and stirs up a dust devil or two.
A young woman, dressed in a blood stained sundress stumbles onto frame. She appears disoriented and frightened. Her face is hidden by her hair.
The camera then travels down the road a piece to an old rusted mailbox, hanging open. Up the drive and we find:
EXT. TALBOT FARM -- AFTERNOON
The farm is a bit of a mix between the two stereo typical country homes. There are a few broken down rusted heaps of metal scattered about, but the house and barn themselves are in good repair. There is a pen for pigs and a sizable and well kept garden. The lowing of cows reveals the presence of more livestock. The overall impression is one of self sufficience (there's a well and a windmill, now running water or electricity), but comfort and cleanliness.
Out of the back door young woman emerges, wearing an old fashioned dress and bonnet. ANNETTE She's carrying a laundry basket and takes it to a washtub.
We get our first impression that something is very wrong here when she takes the laundry out of the basket and submerges it in the washtub. They have blood on them.
She begins to scrub as the barn door opens and a handsome, but creepy man comes out CALVIN, carrying something rolled up in a tarp.
CALVIN
Not much meat on this one.
ANNETTE
What did you expect from a city girl? They're all anorexic or bulemic or what have you. Do we have enough?
CALVIN
Naw, gonna have to go out again.
ANNETTE
Well don't take too long, you know how Ma worries.
Calvin takes the tarp to the pig pen and unrolls it, dumping the butchered body of a young woman into the pig pen.
CALVIN
Slops on piggies!
