[Intro - dirty bass, heavy guitar] [Male Vocals - rhythmic rap] Friday night, quarter past twelve, closing up the store with nobody else, rewind the returns, kill aisle three, she's counting the register, I'm finding the keys. [Male Vocals - rhythmic rap] Then something drops in the horror aisle. Plastic case lands face-up on the tile. Never seen the title. Never stocked the tape. [Male Vocals - tense] But that's our store on the cover. [Male Vocals - quiet] And that's my fucking face. [Heavy guitar hit] [Female Vocals - aggressive rap] Give me that. Cheap black case. No barcode. No studio name. Picture shows him lying by the counter, me in the background running from something out of frame. [Female Vocals - tense] Turn it over. No synopsis. Just two words: [Female Vocals - quiet] "Ending One." [Male Vocals - shouted] ENDING FUCKING WHAT?! [Male + Female Vocals - heavy chorus] AFTER HOURS! LOCK THE DOOR! SOMETHING'S MAKING MOVIES THAT WE NEVER MADE BEFORE! AFTER HOURS! KILL THE LIGHTS! IF WE'RE ON THE COVER— [Male Vocals - shouted] WE'RE NOT STICKING AROUND FOR OPENING NIGHT! [Instrumental - fast beat, syncopated guitar] [Male Vocals - rapid rap] Another tape falls. Then another. Then six. Every damn cover has a different ending on it. One says I drown. No water here. One says she burns while the building looks clear. [Male Vocals - rapid rap] One shows both of us outside alive. Good! Great! That's the fucking one we find! Check the shelf! Aisle four! There it is— [Male Vocals - shouted] WHY DOES IT SAY "ENDING TWENTY-SIX"?! [Female Vocals - rapid rap] Don't care! Grab it! Maybe it's a way out! Case won't open. Lights go out. Emergency red makes the whole store glow, then something starts walking three aisles below. [Female Vocals - aggressive] Not running. Not yet. We've seen enough horror movies to know how that shit goes. [Female Vocals - shouted] STAY TOGETHER! [Male Vocals - shouted] FINALLY! A GOOD FUCKING PLAN! [Heavy riff] [Female Vocals - rapid shout-rap] AISLE ONE CLEAR! AISLE TWO CLEAR! SOMETHING JUST MOVED IN THE CONVEX MIRROR! AISLE THREE— NO! BACK IT UP! THERE'S A NEW FUCKING TAPE WHERE THE OTHERS JUST DROPPED! [Female Vocals - tense] Cover shows us standing right here. Same red light. Same positions. [Female Vocals - quiet] Something behind him. [Male Vocals - shouted] BEHIND WHO?! [Female Vocals - screamed] YOU! [Breakdown - crushing half-time riff] [Male Vocals - furious shout-rap] SWING THE RACK! HEAR SOMETHING DUCK! VIDEO CASES FLYING! I DON'T GIVE A FUCK! CAN'T SEE A FACE! CAN'T SEE A SHAPE! JUST ANOTHER BLACK BOX SLIDING OUT WITH MY NAME! [Male Vocals - aggressive rap] Pick it up. New cover. Now I'm holding the tape on the tape. Behind me she's screaming. Behind her— [Male Vocals - shouted] NOPE! [Male Vocals - screamed] WE ARE NOT DOING THIS SHIT! [Male + Female Vocals - explosive chorus] AFTER HOURS! FUCK THE STORE! FUCK THE TAPES! FUCK WHATEVER'S MAKING MORE! AFTER HOURS! BREAK THE SCRIPT! IF IT WANTS AN ENDING— [Female Vocals - screamed] LET'S GIVE IT ONE IT DIDN'T FUCKING PICK! [Instrumental surge] [Female Vocals - aggressive shout-rap] GRAB EVERY TAPE! PILE THEM HIGH! EVERY VERSION WHERE WE FUCKING DIE! CASES CRACK! FILM UNWINDS! BLACK TAPE COVERING THE FLOOR LIKE VINES! [Male Vocals - rapid shout-rap] THROW THEM OUT! KICK THE DOOR! ENDING TWENTY-SIX SLIDES ACROSS THE FLOOR! COVER CHANGES! LOOK AT THAT! [Male Vocals - excited] We're outside. Both alive. [Female Vocals - shouted] THEN MOVE YOUR ASS! [Heavy instrumental] [Male Vocals - exhausted] We hit the parking lot. Nothing follows. Store goes dark. [Male Vocals - quiet] Guess we got the good ending. [Female Vocals - tense] Don't say that. [Male Vocals] Why? [Female Vocals - quiet] Look at the window. [Pause] [Female Vocals - tense] There's one tape left. [Male Vocals - quiet] What's on it? [Female Vocals] Our car. [Male Vocals] And? [Female Vocals - quiet] We're not in it. [Final Chorus - Male + Female Vocals] AFTER HOURS! DON'T LOOK BACK! LEAVE THE STORE AND LEAVE THE FUCKING TAPES! AFTER HOURS! ENDING UNKNOWN! [Male Vocals - shouted] IF THE CREDITS HAVEN'T ROLLED— [Female Vocals - screamed] YOU'RE NOT FUCKING HOME! [Outro - dirty guitar, dark beat] [Male Vocals] So... walk home? [Female Vocals] Walk home. [Male Vocals] Good call.
