Narrator: Our story begins on a cold November evening in the old and rundown Museum of
Anthropology and History in Pomona, California. Five friends and employees at the Museum are
finishing up a long day’s work and are eager to clock out.
Michael: Today has been so boring man I can’t believe we actually pay you to just stand around
all day, we know damn well you don’t have to do any protecting at this place.
Aji: Hey, don’t blame me for this place being so dull, you should invest more money into the
building itself and not the art pieces. What’s the point of having the holy grail if it’s inside an
abandoned barnyard.
Michael: Yea, I know I know but this new piece we just ordered is something special that should
really attract people to this place I mean it just has too.
Aji: You could have the Mona Lisa on display and it’ll still only sell 10 tickets man. Face it
you’re not going to have a business in a year or two.
Michael: Whatever you’ve always been a hater anyways you just don’t see the vision.
Angely: Yea can you see the vision of us being on welfare next year.
Michael: Shouldn’t you be cleaning this place up for tomorrow!
Angely: Yea but there isn’t really much to clean up here anyways we’ve had like 12 guests today
the evolution exhibit lost its middle piece. No one wants to pay money for a half baked exhibit.
Aji: Yea can we just clock out for the night, I’ve got a bunch of homework to do.
Michael: You guys are free to go once our new shipment gets here Luis should be back with it
any minute now, he should’ve been here an hour ago.
***ENTER ARI***
Ari: Alright I closed up the snack bar Michael. Wanna go to the gym tonight?
Michael: Amennn brotherrr. (dabs him up)
Ari: yo Aji, Michael’s coming, now you have to go to the gym. Gotta get you on some protein
shakes too.
Aji: Dude that stuff makes your farts smell stinky. I know you fart every 5 minutes.
Ari: No I don’t.
Aji: Dude everyone knows you do. you go to stand in the corner of the room every 5 minutes,
what else would you be doing?
Ari: Checking my phone.
Aji: You trying to hold in your farts? Pfft. never heard of it.
Ari: You going to gym? Pfft. never heard of it.
Aji: You trying to hide your fart with a cough? Pfft. heard of it.
Ari: You sucking at your job? Pfft. heard of it.
Aji: You eating on the job? Pfft. heard–
(bag of chips or something falls on the ground making loud noise)
Michael: What was that?
Aji: Was that from the snack bar?
Ari: Sounded like a bag of chips fell on the ground.
(we go there)
Michael: Dude why are there chips all over the ground?
Ari: Oh yea sorry I forgot to finish those.
Michael: I already told you, no eating on the job.
Ari: I’m bulking tho.
Michael: Ok yeah true… How did it fall on the ground by itself though? (foreshadow to Luis
comin in with the doll.)
Ari: I dunno.
Angely: Hey it looks like Luis is finally here with that new art piece you ordered Michael.
Enter Luis, rolling a wooden crate on a pallet jack.
Luis: Hey guys how’s it going, sorry for taking forever, this thing is really heavy it feels like my
arms are gonna fall off.
Michael: No worries man this is the piece that’s going to put us back in business.
Luis: Anyways here's the new doll you ordered from Brazil, looks a bit worn out and really old, I
mean the material is barely keeping itself together.
Michael: That’s the best part, the ancient look to it will be a perfect addition to our new exhibit
Ari: What new exhibit?
Angely: Our new Latin American exhibit, filled with things from all over America (said with an
accent).
Ari: Does that mean I get to work overtime?
Aji: Are you that broke?
Angely: Anyways, let's get back to the doll
Luis: Yeah according to the records, this doll goes back centuries and was worshiped in a certain
part of Brazil.Perhaps even in other places in Latin America as well. Regardless, it is worth
millions. Lots of collectors want to get their hands on this doll.
Aji: Who would want a doll as old and gross as that?
Ari: People are weird man. Like you
Michael: What’s weirder are its eyes… It looks like everywhere I walk, the eyes are following
me
Angely: Didn’t it have some huge conspiracy in 2010?
Micheal: What do you mean?
Angely: From what I read, people thought it was haunted
Aji, Ari, Michael: HAUNTED?
Aji: oh hell nah
Luis: Could be. The last guy who had it said that he felt a strange presence over it. As if it can
wake up at any time.
Ari: What a weirdo. I would not want that doll in my house.
Angely: Well good thing it’s not going IN your house, it’s going right where it belongs. In the
brand new glass case
Michael: I thought I told you not to buy the glass case?
Angely: Uhhh I couldn’t find one big enough for it, so I just went ahead with the order �
Luis: Anyways, people from the previous museum said that they felt as if the doll was following
them.
Aji: (creeped out) eeEee
Luis: Another museum reported that children would hear the doll talking to them, even after they
left the museum.
Ari: (louder) eeEEee
Luis: Workers from the last museum said that the guy handling the doll ended up with scratch
marks on his back when he woke up.
Michael: (even louder) eeEEEee–
Aji: Okay okay it doesn't matter, let’s just go, i gotta shit.and go home and beat my kids
we should all probably close up shop since it’s after hours now.
Michael: Yup. let’s move the shipments to the correct exhibit. We’ll have the morning shift deal
with it.
Angely: Alright, I’ll go get my clipboard
***ANGELY EXIT***
Michael: Alright Luis, do your job and do… whatever it is you do
Luis: No problem boss, I’ll get started on the inspection
Michael: Aji, if you could just monitor the outside and inside of the museum that would be great,
can’t have any tattletale stranglers.
Aji: Copy
Michael: No shady ladies.
Aji: ok
Michael: No creeper jeepers
Aji: alright
Michael: No dennis the menaces.
Aji: OKAY
Michael: No trickly dicklies
Michael: sorry
**AJI EXIT***
Ari: My job was over a while ago, do you need help with anything?
Michael: Ari, have you ever thought about a new job? Maybe stepping up the ladder a bit? It
would certainly help your monetary situation
Ari: Sure, but I like the job I have now, nobody bothers me. It’s great
Michael: it's $15.50 an hour
Ari: ILL TAKE IT
Michael: Not so fast. See all I want is somebody to go door to door, glass case to glass case,
making sure that everything looks spotless. How about I take you around the museum for a bit so
I can tell you what I’m looking for?
Ari: Sure
***MICHAEL AND ARI EXIT***
Luis: Alright, this looks good and this looks good
*sigh*
Luis: I wish I didn’t take the night shift for this place. This museum is so run down, and I don’t
get paid enough for this. What do I get? To look at this stupid doll? Whatever
Luis turns his back
Luis hears a whisper from behind him
((Insert Brazilian word here)
Luis: What was that?
Luis: If that was somebody, just say something, don’t play games
The box falls to the ground BOOM
Luis: This isn’t funny!
((BOO))
Luis: *screams*
***ENTER ANGELY***
Angely: HA! Gotcha
Luis: why would you do that?
Angely: I thought it would be funny. Worth it
Luis: Did you bring the papers I need to get out of here?
Angely: Yup, right here sir. Just sign here, check off the inspections, and you should be good to
go. OH and make sure you put the doll in the exhibit, second door to your left.
Luis: Where are you going? You’re leaving me alone with this THING?
Angely: it's a harmless doll, she’s cute, you’ll be fine. I have to make sure the money and front
desk are good, closing duties you know? Why,? Are you scared?
Luis: yeah, a little bit
***ENTER MICHAEL***
Michael: You’re still here, Luis?
Luis: I'll be out of your hair soon.
Angely: Have fun, and I’ll see you tomorrow little doll
***EXIT ANGELY***
Michael: Well, what are you waiting for? Let’s move it
Luis: Can you come with me?
Michael: Usually you prefer to do it by yourself, why now?
Luis: Uhhh its a new exhibit you know?! Haha, don’t want to get lost, just making sure I put it in
the right place
Michael: Alright, but next time, just look at the map Angely gave you
Luis: Yea no problem.
***they move the doll***
***they see that ari is in the new exhibit cleaning up the new glass case***
Ari: Looks brand new right?
Michael: Looks great, hopefully she measured it right.
Luis: Where should I leave it?
Michael: Lets just leave it by the door, makes it easier.
Luis: Alright, I’ll just leave it hereeee and… great, so I’ll meet you in the truck so you can sign
me off right boss?
Michael: yeahh…. You okay Luis? You’re in quite a rush to get out of here
**Luis was already out the door**
Michael: Alright... Ari, once you’re done here, just make sure the door is locked behind you
Ari: Ok
***Ari finishes up cleaning***
Ari: Alright, looks good.
***Everyone meets up in the front***
Angely: Alright good work today guys
Ari: Wanna go to the gym now?
Aji, Michael, Luis: I'm down
Angely: I’ll be there in a little bit, I have to pick up something nearby.
Aji: Alright sounds good, we’ll see you there
Ari (thinking to himself): Man this place is dusty it feels like a prison, can’t wait to get out of
here and go to the gym.
***Suddenly a soft voice can be heard near the door***
Ari: Hey Michael! Is that you? You know you don’t have to whisper if we are the only ones here.
Ari: Michael?
*** The doll springs up from the corner and stabs Ari with a piece of glass from the case***
Ari: SOMEONE HELP!!! *cough* *cough*
Ari: (dying) So much for a security guard
***Ari is dead and the Doll heads for the parking lot.***
***Setting Changes to Nearby Gym***
Aji: Thanks for letting us carpool Michael, gas prices these days are crazy it costs an arm and a
leg for a gallon.
Michael: Yea, don’t get used to it, you guys are only allowed in this car when gains are involved.
Luis: I can’t stop thinking about that Doll, it gave me chills as soon as I looked at it, there’s
something off about it but I’m not sure what.
Michael: Stop being such a pansy Luis, it’s just a doll from Latin America, and it’s going to
bring a whole lot of money to my museum. Anyways let's get to the weights. I don't have much
time as it is.
***They enter the gym***
Aji: Damn, you lift light as hell Luis your not going to get anywhere lifting that.
Luis: I don’t know man I’m just not feeling it I think I might sit this one out I’ll be in the sauna if
you guys need me.
Aji: Yikes, alright man youre lucky the gym is dead right now so no one can see how much of a
buzzkill you are.
**Luis heads to the sauna room alone, as it appears something has followed the group there**
Luis: Damn it, that doll can't get out of my head. It’s like I see its face wherever I go, I mean it
even looks like it’s in that corner.
Luis: But there's no way…..Wait a minute, is that thing real. WHAT THE FU…
***The doll jumps out at Luis and suffocates him with a towel***
Michael: Wow that was a good pump, I needed to let out the stress, this whole museum thing has
been really getting to me.
Aji: Yea I feel you boss, but hey we should probably tell Luis to stop crying in the sauna room
he’s been in there a while now.
Michael: Yea that doll really got to him, I mean it’s not THAT ugly is it?
***Micahel and Aji head open the sauna room door and find Luis’s body***
Aji: OH MY GOD!! LUIS IS DEAD! THERE’S BLOOD EVERYWHERE!!11!1! CALL 911
IMMEDIATELY!!
Michael: (checks pulse), I can’t believe he's dead?!
Aji: Wait who would do something like this, we were the only ones in the gym?
Michael: Aji what’s that behind you?!!
***Michael points to the doll standing behind Aji with a towel in it’s hands***
Michael: The doll is fucking alive man it killed Luis, lets get out of here!!!!!
Aji: Right behind you!!
***They run to Michael's car but notice it won’t start***
Michael: What the hell is wrong with this thing man I just replaced the transmission. We gotta
get out of here before that doll kills us too.
Aji: I don’t want to die man, I've got too much shit to do at home.
Michael: Oh my god!! The doll is coming, it’s running towards us.
*** The doll goes under the car***
Aji: What is it doing? I can’t see it.
Michael: I don’t know, it sounds like it’s tearing apart my car!!!
Aji: Lets just book it, we’re gonna die if we stay here man.
***Michael and Aji make a run for it and exit the car***
***While running away Aji trips and twists his ankle making Michael carry him:
Michael: You really need to lose some weight man
Aji: *** Michael and Aji manage to make it behind a tree and hide until the sound stops ***
Michael: is it gone?
Aji: I'm not sure
Michael: Well go out and check it out
Aji: NO you go out
Michael: Alright let's just stay here a little longer
*** After 5 minutes they finally decide to check it out and find that the abnormality is gone ***
Michael: We should call Angely to meet us at the Mesuem
Aji: *Aji breathing heavily*
Michael: Shut up man
Michael (calling angely): You need to meet us at the museum.
Angely: Huh what why what happened
*** Clicks* doesn't explain ***
Angely: what the
***Angely hurries back to the museum***
*** Michael and Aji are running back towards the museum***
Michael: Don't worry I have a gun in my trunk I’ll blow it to pieces
Aji: Why do you have a shotgun in your trunk
Michael: just trust me
Michael: Yo we splittin an Uber?
Aji: Bro just call it we’ll worry about it later
***They arrive at the museum***
*** Michael grabs a shotgun and fills it with it's shells ***
Michael: Do you think it followed us
Aji: I hope not
*** The doll emerges from the shadows ***
Michael: Say hello to my little friend
*** Shoots at the doll but because of the recoil sends him flying backwards straight into the
spear of a statue impaling him and killing instantly **
*** Michael Dies **
Aji: NOO, michael you stupid stupid *sobs* ----i gotta get to the museum.
*Aji meets up with Angely*
Aji: *out of breath* Angely!... ANGELYYY!!!! LUIS AND MICHAEL ARE DEAD!! *sobbs*
Wait, is that a nutter butter? I’m lowkey hungry asf right now. Nevermind, what am I
talking about. It’s the doll, I TOLD YOU , I TOLD YOU, WE HAVE TO RUN.
Angely: Theres a room over here we can hide.
Aji: alright I’m coming!
*Angely and Aji hide in some room*
Angely: YOU NEED TO TELL ME WHAT GOING ON. LUIS, MICHAEL, AND ARI?
DEAD?
Aji: Yea i saw it with my own eyes, Michael basically killed himself tho.
Aji: cmon cmon isn’t there some way to stop this thing? W-wha about that book it came with,
theres gotta be something in there about how to stop it or if theres some sort of weakness.
Angely: gasp* i forgot! You’re right, we have to get to my desk, that’s where its at.
*Aji and Angely sneak to Angely’s desk*
Angely: THANK GOD, it’s here.
Aji: open it open it, hurry.
Angely: This book is like 1000 pages, theres no way we’re gonna be able to find anything
Aji: What about a table of contents
*Angely flips to table of contents&
Angely: Oh look theres a section on page 587 “What to do in case doll awakens and goes on a
killing spree”
Aji: That looks pretty useful
Angely: it looks like we just have to recite these words *brazillian words to stop doll*
*they hear the doll coming closer*
*silence, followed by Aji’s stupid ringtone going off*
Aji: no NO NONON----*Aji dies and the doll lunges for Angely*
Angely: *Brazillian words*
*doll freezes and drops to the floor*
*Angely cries in relief*
*40 years have passed, Angely remembers and recounts the Brazillian doll*
*music plays: What I’ve Done by Linkin Park*
Angely: This marks the 40th anniversary of the doll incident, an event I will never forget. An
event that plays over and over in my mind every night. And my friends, I’ve counted the days
since you’ve departed my life. Ari, Luis, Michael, Aji… You will never be forgotten and I vow
to tell your story. I am Angely Valdez, and to anyone who comes across this recording, this is
my story, this is my truth..
*Bass drops*
