INT. THE APARTMENT WHERE BILLY BINGO LIVES WITH HIS MOM AND
SISTER, BILLY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Billy Bingo appears in his bedroom. He looks in the mirror
of the antique dresser in his bedroom. He watches as
Iapetus leaves his-- Billy's-- body. They separate. Iapetus
pats Billy on the shoulder.
Fully clothed, Billy turns down the covers of his bed. He
jumps into the bed and snuggles beneath the covers. He
closes his eyes.
Maureen Bingo opens the door to Billy's bedroom. She looks
at him. She then closes the door.
Billy crawls out of bed. He goes to his closet. He pulls
out a bottle of liquor and a six pack of beer. He pulls out
the cork. He smiles a goofy smile. He sinks to the floor as
he begins drinking.
