INT. VAN TASSEL HOUSE, ICHABOD'S ROOM --NIGHT
Ichabod sleeps, dreaming...
ICHABOD'S DREAM --FARMLAND --DAY
A young BOY, 10, stands in a wheat field with his back to us.
A FEMALE VOICE is HEARD FAINTLY, getting LOUDER.
The boy, YOUNG ICHABOD, turns, smiling. He runs. We FOLLOW to
a clearing behind a frontier home. MOTHER waits. Lovely woman.
She kisses him.
ICHABOD'S DREAM --YOUNG ICHABOD'S BEDROOM --NIGHT
Dark. Young Ichabod, in bed, has one eye open. Across the room,
Mother has her back to him. She's WHISPERING something to no one.
She turns...
Young Ichabod pretends he is asleep
A DRAWER is HEARD SHUTTING. Mother exits. Ichabod gets up, curious,
opens a drawer...finds something behind clothing.
It's a piece of reed grass, woven into an elaborate pattern with
shafts of wheat twisted into the center. Young Ichabod replaces
it, closes the drawer.
ICHABOD'S DREAM --MARKET SQUARE -- DAY
A busy, muddy streetlined by wares and produce. Young Ichabod walks with FATHER, an emotionless man. Father stops to examine tools. Young Ichabod
stays by him, but something captures his attention...
Across the way, Mother is involved in an argument with a FREAKISH-LOOKING
WOMAN. They shout. People stop to watch. Can't make out words,
but Freakish Woman is furious.
ICHABOD'S DREAM --STORM SKY --NIGHT
LIGHTNING flashes over tree tops. THUNDER BOOMS
INT. VAN TASSEL HOUSE, ICHABOD'S ROOM --NIGHT
Ichabod jerks awake in his bed.
