a film by David Lynch
Story Board pg. 10


Foreman: We the jury find the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree.

Judge:Fred Madison, the jury having found you guilty of murder in the first degree, it is my order that you be put to death in the electric chair.



Guard: Something wrong?
Fred: My... My head.



Doctor: You sleeping okay?
Fred (strained whisper): I can't sleep.


The Doctor goes over to a cabinet, unlocks a drawer, and removes a large blue pill.


He fills a paper cup with water from a dispenser, goes back to Fred and places the pill in Fred's mouth.

Doctor: You'll sleep now.



Fred: Aspirin... My head... I gotta have more aspirin.


Prison Guard Henry: Shit, that wife killer's lookin' pretty fucked up.

Other Guard: Which one?


Fred's pain is demonstrably overwhelming him now.


Fred looks up, sensing something.


A wooden cabin is burning in reverse.



The Mytery Man.
