BRUCE:

Speaking of which, you said this was the
temple of darkness and light. Well, we all
came through the test of darkness but now that
we're up here at the top where the great
initiation was supposed to be...there's
nothing up here.

WIZARD:

Not so. You are here, and that is the true
secret of the mountain top. You could study
under the far eastern gurus for a hundred
years and learn no more. There is nothing
up here except what you bring with you.

Of course, you wanted more. You wanted
your dreams to come true. Bruce wants to be
a writer, Jim a photographer, and Carol a
director, and you can! You can do these
things but I can't give them to you.

Those kind of dreams don't come in bottles,
you have to make them happen.

JIM:

But how?

WIZARD:

You could start by looking at this medallion.

The Wizard starts spinning the medallion.

CUT TO:

INTERIOR....WIZARD'S OFFICE....ELECTRIC LIGHT

The trio is sitting once more around the Wizard's table
watching his medallion spin in front of them.

WIZARD:
(putting it away)

There.

JIM:

You mean we were hypnotized? That we
never left the room?
