• [last lines] 

  Tucker : That's weak. What if there's nothing you're afraid of? The room wouldn't work.

  Frank : That's right; nothing scares you, does it? Maybe you should be the first to, uh, reach into the unknown.

  [holds out the box, Tucker stands] 

  Tucker : What's in it?

  Frank : What's the difference? You're not scared of anything anyway.

  Tucker : [looks at the others]  ... Yeah, that's right.

  [approaches it, reaches out to touch it, then draws his hand back] 

  Tucker : Forget it!

  [leaves] 

  Gary : So... what's in it?

  Frank : Exactly what Tucker's afraid of.

  [opens it] 

  Frank : Nothing.
