FUNNY GAMES. "The bet."

 

PAUL

"Let's bet that ... what time is it?"

PETER

"Minus nine."

PAUL

"In say, 12 hours, they will be dead"

Anna is still in shock and without any expression on her face she looks up.

ANNA

What?

PAUL

"You will bet that tomorrow at 9 o'clock they will be alive; and we, that they will be dead, okay?"

Anna turns to her husband, damn it, they can't do anything. He just looks at his son and smiles at him, giving him the only thing he can, a false hope.

You see the terror in his eyes, he is just a child ...

PETER

"They don't want to gamble"

PAUL

"That's not right. They have to bet."

PAUL TURNS TO THE CAMERA ...

It's fiction, we can't do anything.

But the fiction is real. As real as reality

that you see the same way.

Break the fourth wall staring

towards us.

PAUL

"What do you think? Do you think they have a chance of winning? They are on your side, right?"
