Scream
(House)
(A cute teenage blonde is walking through her house when the phone rings. She picks it up.)
Casey: Hello?
Man: (on phone) Hello?
Casey: Yes?
Man: (on phone) Who is this?
Casey: Who are you trying to reach?
Man: (on phone) What number is this?
Casey: What number are you trying to reach?
Man: (on phone) I don’t know.
Casey: I think you have the wrong number.
Man: (on phone) Do I?
Casey: It happens. Take it easy.
(Casey hangs up. Outside the front of Casey's house, a swing dangles from the tree. It is swaying softly. The phone rings again.)
Casey: Hello?
Man: (on phone) I’m sorry. I guess I dialed the wrong number.
Casey: So why’d you dial it again?
Man: (on phone) To apologize.
Casey: You’re forgiven. Bye now.
Man: (on phone) Wait! Wait! Don’t hang up!
Casey: What?
Man: (on phone) I want to talk to you for a second.
Casey: They’ve got 900 numbers for that. C-ya.
(Casey hangs up again. It almost immediately rings again.)
Casey: Hello?
Man: (on phone) Why don’t you want to talk to me?
Casey: Who is this?
Man: (on phone) You tell me your name I’ll tell you mine.
Casey: I don’t think so.
(Casey has made her way into the kitchen and is about to make some popcorn. She gives it a shake.)
Man: (on phone) What’s that noise?
Casey: Popcorn.
Man: (on phone) You’re making popcorn?
Casey: Uh-huh.
Man: (on phone) I only eat popcorn at the movies.
Casey: Well, I’m getting ready to watch a video.
Man: (on phone) Really? What?
Casey: Oh, just some scary movie.
Man: (on phone) You like scary movies?
Casey: Uh-huh.
Man: (on phone) What’s you favorite scary movie?
Casey: Uh, I don’t know.
Man: (on phone) You have to have a favorite. What comes to mind?
(Casey picks up a large knife from a wooden block which is obviously been made for holding knives.)
Casey: Umm...Halloween. (She drops the knife back in.) You know the one guy in the white mask that walks around and stalks babysitters.
Man: (on phone) Yeah.
Casey: What’s yours?
Man: (on phone) Guess.
Casey: Um…Nightmare on Elm Street.
Man: (on phone) Is that the one with the guy that has knives for fingers?
Casey: Yeah, Freddy Kruger.
Man: (on phone) Freddy, that’s right. I like that movie. It was scary.
(Casey walks out of the kitchen and heads towards the living room.)
Casey: The first one was but, the rest sucked.
Man: (on phone) So, you got a boyfriend?
Casey: Why? You want to ask me out on a date?
Man: (on phone) Maybe. So, do you have a boyfriend?
Casey: Mmm..no.
(Casey turns on the patio lights and looks at the backyard, there is a slight and mystic mist floating over the pool... she turns the lights off again.)
Man: (on phone) You never told me your name.
Casey: Why do you want to know my name?
Man: (on phone) I wanna know who I’m looking at.
(Casey whips around with a look of fear.)
Casey: What did you say?
Man: (on phone) I wanna know who I am talking to.
Casey: That’s not what you said.
Man: (on phone) What do you think I said? What? Hello?
Casey: Look, I got to go.
Man: (on phone) Wait! I thought we were going to go out.
Casey: Uh-nah. I don’t think so.
Man: (on phone) Don’t hang up on me!
(Casey hangs up... scared... she starts to walk back to the kitchen. The phone rings again making Casey jump. She gets ticked at herself.)
Casey: Shit. (Answers the phone with an annoyed tone.) Yes?
Man: (on phone) I told you not to hang up on me.
Casey: What do you want?
Man: (on phone) To talk.
Casey: Well, dial someone else. Okay?
(Casey hangs up. She walks into the kitchen, and sees that the popcorn is on fire, she walks fast over to it, grabs a towel and picks up the burning popcorn. The phone rings again. She drops the pop corn back onto the stove.)
Casey: (angry) Listen asshole—
Man: (on phone) No, you listen you little bitch! You hang up on me again, I’ll gut you like a fish. You understand? (menacing laugh) Hehe...Yeah.
Casey: (sobbing) Is this some kind of joke?
Man: (on phone) More of a game really. Can you handle that...blondie? (Casey looks outside the windows, frantically.) Can you see me?
Casey: Listen, I am two seconds away from calling the police.
Man: (on phone) They’d never make it in time were in the middle of nowhere.
Casey: What do you want?
Man: (on phone) To see what you’re insides look like.
(Casey's eyes widen, and she hangs up. Casey is near the door, and the door bell rings.)
Casey: (sobbing) Who’s there? Who’s there? I’m calling the police!
(The phone rings. Casey cries out loud, and listens into the phone.)
Man: (on phone) You should never say “Who’s there?” Don’t you watch scary movies? It’s a death wish. You might as well come out and investigate a strange noise or somethin’.
Casey: (determined, but still sobbing) Look, you’ve had your fun now. So, I think you better just leave or else.
Man: (on phone) Or else what?
Casey: Or else my boyfriend will be here any second, and he’ll be pissed when he finds out.
Man: (on phone) I thought you didn’t have a boyfriend?
Casey: I lied, I do have a boyfriend and he’ll be here any second. So, your ass better be gone.
Man: (on phone) Sure.
Casey: I swear. (loudly) He’s big and he plays football and he’ll kick the shit out of you!
Man: (on phone, sarcastic) I’m getting scared. I am shaking in my boots.
Casey: So, you just better leave.
Man: (on phone) His name wouldn’t be...Steve would it?
Casey: (shocked) How do you know his name?
Man: (on phone) Turn on the patio lights... again.
(Casey turns on the lights, and sees her boyfriend, Steve Orith tied to a chair, his mouth is covered in duct tape, he is bruised and has a few cuts.)
Casey: Oh god!
(Casey unlocks the door and opens it and is about to step outside.)
Man: (on phone) I wouldn’t do that if I was you!
(Casey pulls the door closed quickly and locks it.)
Casey: Where are you?
Man: (on phone) Guess.
Casey: Don’t hurt him.
Man: (on phone) That all depends on you.
Casey: Why are you doing this?
Man: (on phone) I wanna play a game.
Casey: No.
Man: (on phone) Then he dies right now.
Casey: NO. NO!
Man: (on phone) Which is it? Which is it?
Casey: Wha- - What kind of game?
Man: (on phone) Turn off the lights, You’ll see what kind of game. Just do it!
(Casey turns off the lights.)
Steve: (muffled) Casey! No! No! NO! CASEY!
Man: (on phone) Here’s how to play. I ask you a question, If you get it right Steve lives.
Casey: Please, don’t do this.
(Casey hides behind the TV and pulls out the cord for the light on top of the TV.)
Man: (on phone) Come on, It’ll be fun!
Casey: Please—
Man: (on phone) It’s an easy category.
Casey: Please.
Man: (on phone) Movie Trivia. I’ll give you a warm-up question.
Casey: Don’t do this, I can’t.
Man: (on phone) Name the killer in Halloween?
Casey: No.
Man: (on phone) Come on, It’s your favorite scary movie remember? He had a white mask and he stalked babysitters.
Casey: I don’t know.
Man: (on phone) Come on, Yes you do.
Casey: No, please.
Man: (on phone) What’s his name?
Casey: I can’t think.
Man: (on phone) Steve’s counting on you.
Casey: (still sobbing) Michael ...Michael Myers.
Man: (on phone) Yes! Very good. Now for the real question.
Casey: NO!
Man: (on phone) But, you’re doing so well. We can’t just stop now.
Casey: Please, Stop! Leave us alone.
Man: (on phone) Then answer the question. Same category.
Casey: Oh, please stop.
Man: (on phone) Name the killer in Friday the 13th?
(Casey jumps up, all excited, she knows the answer.)
Casey: (shouting) Jason! Jason! Jason!
Man: (on phone) I’m sorry that’s the wrong answer.
Casey: No it’s not! No it’s not! It’s Jason!
Man: (on phone) Afraid not, NO WAY!
Casey: (getting annoyed) Listen, it was Jason! I saw that movie 20 god damn times!
Man: (on phone) Then you should know that the original killer was Jason’s mother, Mrs. Voorhies. Jason didn’t show up till the sequel. I’m afraid that was the wrong answer.
Casey: (sobbing again) You tricked me...
Man: (on phone) Lucky for you there is a bonus round. But, poor Steve, I am afraid he’s out!
(Casey turns on the lights and looks out side, and sees her boyfriend has been slaughtered, his insides on the outside. She starts to cry again. Casey crawls back behind the TV.)
Man: (on phone) Hey, we’re not finished yet. Final question, Are you ready?
Casey: Please, Please, Leave me alone!
Man: (on phone) Answer the question and I will! What door am I at?
(Casey looks up from behind the television at both doors, the main door and the patio doors. She also grabs a letter opener to use as a weapon if he got to her.)
Casey: What?
Man: (on phone) There are two main doors to your house, the front door and the patio door. Very Simple.
Casey: I can’t do this, I can’t, I won’t.
Man: (on phone) Your call.
(A chair flies through the patio doors Casey gets up and runs into the kitchen, she runs behind the kitchen island and grabs the knife she handled before. Casey looks down the corridor from which she just came. Staring into the darkness, she sees something run across the corridor towards the front door. It looks as if it is wearing all black, from head to toe. Casey runs over to the doors from the kitchen, opens the door, and steps outside, closing the door after her, she crawls onto the ground, holding the knife in one hand, the phone in the other. Casey sits there for a few seconds, and looks into the kitchen from the glass panes in the door. She looks over to where the corridor opens into the kitchen, and sees the dark and mysterious character standing there, peering into the smoky kitchen. It is dressed in all black and has a ghostly white face. It runs into the kitchen. Casey crawls back to her hiding spot. Casey then sees a car coming down the road. Maybe if she got to it, they would save her. Hopefully it would be her parents. Casey looks again, and sees the 'ghost' run into the next room. She crawls along the ground. Just past the doors, she stops. She gets up and looks into the window, and sees all black. Why was it all black? Then suddenly, the man turns around. Facing her is the sad ghostly face see had seen from her hiding spot. The man's hand punches right through the window and grabs her hand, the hand holding the phone. Casey hits the ghostly face with the phone, and he lets go. Casey drops her knife and runs away. Casey runs and stops just outside the patio doors. There is Steve. His limp head has fallen back as he sits there lifeless in the chair. He is still tied up and taped at the mouth. Casey whimpers and runs around the side of the house. The car pulls into Casey's house, and drives up the drive way. Casey stops to looks at it. She knew it was her parents. They would come to her rescue, she knew it. As Casey stands there, the ghostly figure jumps through a window and lands right on top of her. She struggles with him and gets up runs away. As she runs, the killer also gets up, and chases her down the side of the house. Casey turns her head to see how far away the killer is. He's right behind her. The killer grabs her around her neck, and stabs her near to her heart. He lets her go and she falls to the ground. As Casey feels her wound, she is whimpering. There is blood pumping out of her womb. The killer lifts his knife, and if about to bring it down on her to kill her.)
Mrs. Becker: Did you water over here today?
Mr. Becker: It was just that water from the rain.
Mrs. Becker: They look great don’t they?
Mr. Becker: Don’t they smell strong?
Mrs. Becker: I told you you could send them back.
(Casey's vocal cords have been squashed, and she cant talk properly.)
Casey: Mom!
(No one hears her. Mr. Becker sees the door is open, and the house, on the inside, is in ruins.)
Mr. Becker: Jesus!
(Mrs. Becker walks in after him.)
Mrs. Becker: What is it?
Mr. Becker: CASEY!
(Mr. Becker runs towards the living room, seeing the chair through the patio doors... Mrs Becker runs towards the kitchen.)
Mrs. Becker: Oh go… (She sees the popcorn on fire, she picks it up, using the towel, throws it down into the sink and turns the tap on.) Casey! Casey! Casey! (Mrs. Becker runs back to her husband. He grabs her.) Where is she?
Mr. Becker: Call the police!
Mrs. Becker: Casey
(Mr. Becker runs up stairs calling out to his daughter.)
Mr. Becker: Casey, are you upstairs?
(Mrs. Becker picks up the phone, and starts to dial. She hears something from the phone, so she puts it next to her ear.)
Mrs. Becker: Oh my god, Casey, baby?
Mr. Becker: (os) Casey!
Mrs. Becker: She’s here.
(Mr. Becker comes down stairs.)
Casey: (on phone) Mom.
Mrs. Becker: Where is she? Oh my god! I can hear her.
Man: (on phone) Hey!
(The phone gets disconnected.)
Mr. Becker: Get in the car, drive down to the Mackenzie’s.
Mrs. Becker: No, No, not my daughter.
Mr. Becker: Just go!
Mrs. Becker: Not my daughter.
Mr. Becker: Call the police!
(Mr. Becker pushes Mrs. Becker through the door. She looks up and screams. Mr. Becker runs outside and looks at his wife. He looks in the direction she was looking. He sees Casey. He runs towards the tree in the front yard. There is Casey. She has been hung from the tree with the swing. Her intestines are spilt onto the ground beneath her. Steam is rising from her hot bodily organs on the cold, cold ground. Lightning flashes across the sky, at the same time, the rope snaps and her lifeless body falls to the ground.)
(Sidney’s House)
(Sidney, a sweet looking teenager is in her bedroom typing on her computer. Lightning flashes across the sky. Sidney hears a noise outside. She ignores it. Another sound is heard outside. Sidney gets up and looks out her window. A hand grabs her. Sidney jumps and screams.)
Billy: It’s just me!
Sidney: Billy, what are you doing here?
Billy: Sorry, don’t hate me!
Billy: You sleep in that?
Sidney: Yes, I sleep in this. (Billy climbs in the window.) My dad is in the other room. You can’t be here.
Billy: I’ll just stay a sec.
Sidney: No you gotta go! go! go! go!
(Neal Prescott opens the door to Sidney's room, it catches onto the closet door, which is open. He is locked out. Sidney runs over to the door.)
Mr. Prescott: What’s going on in there? Are you okay?
Sidney: Can you knock?
(She opens the door all the way.)
Mr. Prescott: I heard screaming.
Sidney: No you didn’t.
Mr. Prescott: No? Oh, well. I am hitting the sack. My flight leaves first thing in the morning. Now, the expo runs all weekend so I won’t be back till Sunday. There’s cash on the table and I am staying- -
Sidney: At the Hilton.
Mr. Prescott: Out at the airport...So call if- -
Sidney: I need anything.
Mr. Prescott: I could’ve sworn I heard screaming.
Sidney: Have a good trip okay?
(Sidney pushes her father away.)
Mr. Prescott: Sleep tight, sweetie.
(Sidney closes the door. She turns around and looks in her room. Billy’s gone. Suddenly one of her stuffed animals pops up on the side of her bed.)
Billy: (talking for the animal) Close call.
Sidney: Billy, what are you doing here?
Billy: (gets up) It occurred to me that I had never snuck through your bedroom window.
Sidney: Well, now that it’s out of your system...
Billy: I was home watching television…the uh Exorcist was on. It got me thinking of you.
Sidney: (bemused) It did?
Billy: Yeah, it was edited for TV all the good stuff was cut out. And, it got me thinking of us. How 2 years ago we started off hot and heavy. Nice solid R rating on our way to a NC-17. And now...things have changed and....lately were just edited for television.
Sidney: Oh so you thought you would climb through my window and have a little raw footage?
Billy: No! I wouldn’t dream of breaking your underwear rule. I just thought we could do a little on-top-of-the-clothes stuff.
Sidney: Okay.
Billy: Yeah?
Sidney: Yeah. (They start making out on the bed. Billy moves his hand up her leg.) Okay, okay, okay. Time is up stud muffin.
Billy: God, you see what you do to me!
Sidney: You know what my dad will do to you?
Billy: Yeah, I’m going.
(Billy climbs out of the window.)
Sidney: Okay. You know, I appreciate the romantic gesture.
Billy: Hey about the sex stuff, I’m not trying to rush you at all. (grins) I was only half serious.
Sidney: Okay. (Billy starts to climb down from the window.) Hey Billy, would you settle for a PG-13 relationship?
Billy: What’s that? (Sidney flashes Billy her breasts and laughs.) My god, your just a tease.
(High School – Day)
(Sidney gets off the school bus and walks towards the main doors of the school. There are reporters everywhere.)
Woman: (on radio) Thirty-five Ninety-five situation under control.
Man: (on radio) Roger, dispatch.
Woman reporter: There’s blood found? Alright.
Another woman reporter: They’re doing drugs, they buy in the classroom and involved in a cult.
(Sidney sees Gale Weather, the cheesy tabloid journalist doing a report.)
Gale: Woodsboro, California was devastated last night two young teenagers were found brutally murdered. Authorities have yet to issued a statement but our sources tell us that no arrests are yet to be made and the murderer could strike again.
(Tatum, Sidney’s best friend, walks up behind Sidney.)
Tatum: Do you believe this shit?
Sidney: Damn, what’s going on?
Tatum: (in disbelief) You don’t know? (Sidney shakes her head.) Casey Becker and Steve Orith were killed last night.
Sidney: What? No way.
Tatum: Were not just talking killed…we’re talking splatter movie killed. Ripped open from end to end.
Sidney: Casey Becker? She sits next to me in English.
Tatum: Not anymore. It’s so sad her mom and dad they found her hanging from a tree with her insides on the outside.
Sidney: Oh my god!
Tatum: Yeah, their interrogating the entire school.
Sidney: They think it's school related?
Tatum: Their fucking Clueless, I mean Dewey said it's the worst crime here, since...well, it's bad.
(Tatum walks off into the school's main doors.)
(Classroom)
(The class is very quiet. Sidney keeps looking at Casey’s seat. A student enters the room and hands a piece of paper to the teacher, who reads it.)
Teacher: Um, Sidney it appears to be your turn.
(Sidney looks up, and grabs her bag.)
(Principal’s Office)
(Principal Himbry and Sheriff Burke are holding the interrogation.)
Sheriff Burke: Who's next?
Mr. Himbry: Sidney Prescott, she was the daughter, of um...
(Sidney walks into the office.)
Sheriff Burke: Hi Sidney.
Sidney: Sheriff Burke, Dewey.
Dewey: Uh..that’s Deputy Riley today, Sid.
(Sidney gives him a look.)
Sheriff Burke: How is everything?
Sidney: Good.
Sheriff Burke: And your dad, how is he?
Sidney: We're fine thanks.
Mr. Himbry: We are going to keep this very brief, Sidney. The police just want to ask you a few questions. (Principle Himbry holds Sidney's cheek. Sheriff Burke looks at the Principle suspiciously.) You okay?
Sidney: (nods) Mmhmm.
Sheriff Burke: Sidney, were you very close to Casey Becker?
(The Quad)
(Billy, Sidney, Stuart Macher, Tatum, and Randy Perkins are eating lunch at a fountain on school grounds. The P.A. goes on and Principle Himbry starts to talk.)
Mr. Himbry: (on PA) Remember your Principal loves you and I want you to be safe. All students are encouraged to return home promptly from school grounds. Avoid strangers, walk in 2’s and 3’s.
Tatum: What kind of questions did they ask you Sid?
Sidney: They asked me if I knew Casey.
Tatum: They asked me too.
Stu: Hey did they ask if you liked to hunt?
Billy: Yeah, they did. Did they ask you?
Tatum: Why would they ask if you liked to hunt?
Randy: Cause they’re bodies were gutted.
Billy: Thank you, Randy.
Tatum: They didn’t ask me if I liked to hunt.
Stu: Cause there is no way a girl could’ve killed them.
Tatum: That is so sexist. The killer could easily be a female, Basic Extinct.
Randy: That was an ice pick, not exactly the same thing.
Stu: Yeah, Casey and Steve were completely hollowed out. And the fact is it takes a man to do something like that.
Tatum: Or a man’s mentality.
Sidney: How do you...gut someone?
(Everybody looks at Sidney.)
Stu: You take a knife and you slit them from groin to sternum.
(Sidney looks disgusted.)
Billy: Hey It’s called tact you fuckrag.
Sidney: Hey Stu, didn’t you used to date Casey?
Stu: Yeah for like two seconds.
Randy: Before she dumped him for Steve.
Tatum: I thought you dumped her for me.
Stu: I did he’s full of shit.
Randy: And are the police aware you dated the victim?
Stu: What are you trying to say, that I killed her?
Randy: It would sure improve your high school “Q”.
Tatum: Stu was with me last night.
Stu: Yeah I was.
Randy: Was that before or after he sliced and diced?
Tatum: Fuck you nut case! Where were you last night?
Randy: Working, thank you.
Tatum: Oh, at the video store? I thought they fired your sorry ass.
Randy: (smiles) Twice.
Stu: I didn’t kill anybody.
Billy: Nobody said you did.
Stu: Thanks buddy.
Randy: Besides it takes a man to do a thing like that.
Stu: I’m gonna gut your ass in a second kid.
(Randy gets up and leans over to Stu.)
Randy: Did you really put her liver in the mailbox? Cause I heard that they found her liver in the mailbox next to her spleen and pancreas.
Tatum: Randy, you goon, I’m trying to eat here.
(Randy reaches over Tatum to get food.)
Stu: She’s getting mad alright? You better liver alone. Liver alone!
(Sidney gets up and leaves. Billy smacks Stu.)
Stu: Liv - - Ow! Liver. Liver. It was a joke!
(Sidney’s House)
(A school bus pulls up and Sidney gets off. She checks the mail.)
Girl: (on the bus) See you, Sidney. Talk to you tomorrow!
(Later)
(Sidney is changed and she is outside, walking up the steps on the side of the house, talking on the phone to Tatum.)
Sidney: So your sure I can stay over? Cause my dad won’t be back till Sunday.
Tatum: (on phone) No prob, I’ll pick you up after practice. You okay?
Sidney: Uh-huh, It’s just the police and reporters just like deja vu all over again.
Tatum: (on phone) I’ll be there by 7:00 I promise.
Sidney: Thanks Tatum.
Tatum: (on phone) Later.
(Sidney goes into house. She pulls a bag out of the closet. She packs her bag and sit down to watch TV.)
Woman Reporter: The bodies of 17 year old Casey Becker and her 18 year old boyfriend Steve Orith were discovered late last night by her parents.
(Sidney switches channels.)
Man Reporter: The Woodsboro double murder case. Authorities are baffled by the lack of clues savaged—
(Sidney switches channels again.)
Gale Weather's: The town’s in shock and nobody can quite believe what has happened here although this is not the first time this small community of Woodsboro has endured such tragedy. Only a year ago Maureen Prescott, wife and mother was found raped and murdered not far from this peaceful town square.
(Sidney turns off the TV, and looks at the clock. She notices a photo of her and her mom, Maureen. Sidney puts the photo down and lays on the couch to rest.)
(Even Later)
(It’s now dark outside. The phone rings. Sidney wakes up and answers it.)
Sidney: Hello?
Tatum: (on phone) Practice ran late, I am on my way okay?
(Sidney looks at the clock again.)
Sidney: It’s past 7:00.
Tatum: (on phone) Don’t worry Casey and Steve didn’t bite it till way past ten.
(Sidney looks out window.)
Sidney: Oh, Oh that’s comforting.
Tatum: (on phone) I’m going swing by the video store. I was thinking Tom Cruise in “All the Right Moves”. If you pause it just right you can see his penis.
Sidney: Whatever, just hurry up.
Tatum: (on phone) Ta-ta Sid.
(Sidney lays back down and closes her eyes. The phone rings again and she answers it.)
Sidney: Tatum, just get in the car…
Man: (on phone) Hello Sidney.
Sidney: Uh…Hi, who is this?
Man: (on phone) You tell me.
Sidney: Well, I - I have no idea.
Man: (on phone) Scary night isn’t it? With all the murders and all it’s like just out of a horror movie or something.
Sidney: Randy, you gave yourself away. Are you calling from work cause if you are Tatum is on the way over?
Man: (on phone) Do you like scary movies, Sidney?
Sidney: I like that thing your doing with your voice Randy, It’s sexy.
Man: (on phone) What’s your favorite scary movie, Sidney?
Sidney: You know I don’t watch that shit.
Man: (on phone) Why not? Too scared?
Sidney: No no, what’s the point they are all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big breasted girl that can’t act when she is running up the steps when she should be going out the front door...It’s insulting.
Man: (on phone) Are you alone in the house?
Sidney: Randy, That’s so un-original I’m so disappointed in you.
Man: (on phone) Maybe because I’m not Randy.
(Sidney looks puzzled.)
Sidney: So, who are you?
Man: (on phone) The question isn’t who am I? It’s where am I?
Sidney: S - So where are you?
Man: (on phone) Your front porch.
Sidney: Why would you be calling from my front porch?
(Sidney walks to the front door.)
Man: (on phone) That’s the original part.
Sidney: Oh yeah, I call your bluff. (Sidney unlocks the door and then opens it. She steps outside and looks around. She brings the phone back up to her ear.) So where are you?
Man: (on phone) Right here.
(Sidney looks around some more.)
Sidney: Can you see me now?
Man: (on phone) Uh-huh.
Sidney: Ahh... (Sidney puts her finger up her nose.) What am I doing huh? Huh, what am I doing, huh? (pause) Nice try, Randy. Tell Tatum to hurry up okay, Bye now.
Man: (on phone, angry) If you hang up on me you’ll die just like your mother. Do you want to die Sidney? Your mother sure didn’t.
Sidney: Fuck you, you cretin. (She runs into the house, and locks door. A cloaked figure with a ghostly face comes out of closet, and slashes his knife at Sidney. She ducks and falls on the floor.) No!
(The killer headbutts Sidney, and she is dazed. The killer lifts his knife, and is about to bring it down upon Sidney, but she gets out of her daze and realizes what is about to happen. She kicks the killer off her. Sidney gets up and tries to open the front door. It's locked. The killer gets up, and tries to stab Sidney again. She runs out of the way, and the knife gets caught in the door. Sidney has no chance but to run upstairs. The killer follows right behind her. She runs into her room and closes the door. The killer opens it and it gets caught on the closet door. Sidney runs over to the computer.)
Sidney: Shit!
(Sidney types in 911. The computer connects and dials. On the screen we can see: )
911: What is your emergency?
(The killer is still slashing his knife around, trying to get it. He hasn't got a chance getting in, so he leaves. About 20 seconds later Billy climbs through the window.)
Sidney: Billy!
Billy: The door's locked, I heard screaming, you alright?
Sidney: The killer is here he’s in the house.
(Sidney hugs him.)
Billy: He’s gone. He’s gone. It’s alright. (A cellular phone falls out of Billy’s pocket to the floor. Sidney looks down, and slowly backs away from Billy.) What? Sid, What?
(Sidney runs out of her bedroom.)
Billy: Whoa, Whoa, Wait, Wait, Wait, Sid, Wait! (Sidney runs down the stairs.) Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait, Sid, What’s going on? Sidney come back, Sidney.
(Sidney opens the front door. She looks out and sees the mask of the killer. Sidney screams, and Dewey, who had been holding the mask screams too.)
Dewey: Sorry, I found this, come on.
(Time Lapse)
(Billy is being hauled off by the police.)
Police Officer: Alright hold your hands together.
Dewey: Do you wish to give up your right to remain silent?
Billy: I didn’t do anything.
Dewey: Do you wish to give up your right to speak to an attorney and have them present during questioning?
Billy: Ask her, She’ll tell you.
(Dewey walks over to the Sherriff.)
Sheriff Burke: What do we have Dewey?
Dewey: I caught him Sheriff.
Sheriff Burke: Who is that?
Dewey: Billy Loomis.
Billy: Sheriff, Sheriff, Call these guys off. I didn’t do it, Sheriff wait. Please call him, he’ll tell you, call him. Sidney, Sidney.
Sheriff Burke: How she doing?
Dewey: Sid’s tougher than she looks.
Sheriff Burke: She'd have to be after all the shit she's been through. (They go over to the ambulance where Sidney is sitting, wrapped up in a blanket, being checked by medical staff.) Well, were seeing a lot of you today. Are you going to be able to come down to the station and answer a few questions?
(Tatum's car pulls up. She sees all the commotion and starts to run to Sidney.)
Tatum: God Sidney, I’m so sorry I was late.
Dewey: Tatum you can’t be here it’s an official crime scene.
Sidney: It’s okay.
Tatum: Her dad’s out of town she’s staying with us tonight.
Dewey: Does mom know?
Tatum: Yes doofus. (to Sidney) Let’s get out of here.
Dewey: Oh you won’t believe this. (He shows Sheriff Burke the costume that the killer wore.) Creepy huh?
(Gale Weathers, a news reporter, who is also Sidney’s archenemy, pulls up. She gets out and looks at what's happening.)
Gale: I’ll be damned.
Kenny: Huh?
Gale: Jesus, the camera hurry.
Kenny: My name isn’t Jesus.
(Sidney and Dewey head off in his car. Gale peers through the window as they drive by.)
Gale: Sidney, is that you in there? (to Tatum) Excuse me is that Sidney Prescott they took away?
Tatum: I’m not talking to you.
Gale: What happened to her? I heard something about a costume is that true? Can you tell me anything?
Tatum: Yeah, you’re a real pain in the ass.
(Tatum gets in her car and follows Dewey just as Kenny walks up with the camera.)
Kenny: Where's she going?
Gale: Look Kenny…
Kenny: Yeah?
Gale: I know your about 50 pounds over weight but when I say hurry please interpret that as move your fat-tub-of-lard-ass NOW!
(Police Station)
(Sidney sits at one of the desks talking to Dewey.)
Sidney: (regarding her father) Did you find him?
Dewey: You sure it was the Hilton?
Sidney: (nods) At the airport.
Dewey: He’s not registered there.
Dewey: Could he of stayed somewhere else?
Sidney: I don’t know, I guess.
Dewey: Don’t worry, Sid, we’ll find him. I’ll be right back.
(Sheriff’s Office)
(Billy watches Sidney through the window.)
Sheriff Burke: Let me ask you this, what are you doing with a cellular phone son?
Billy: Everybody’s got one Sheriff. I didn’t make those phone calls. I swear.
Billy’s Father (Hank) : Why don’t you check the phone bill for Christ Sake? Call Vital Phone Comp. They’ve got a record of every number dialed.
Sheriff Burke: Thanks Hank, were on top of it. (to Billy ) What were you doing over Sidney’s house tonight?
Billy: Well, I wanted to see her, that’s all.
Sheriff Burke: And yesterday? She said you climbed through her window last night too?
Hank: (surprised) You went out last night?
Billy: I was watching TV, I got bored. I decided to go for a ride.
Sheriff Burke: Did you happen to ride by Casey Becker’s house too?
Billy: No. No I didn’t. Sheriff, I didn’t kill anybody.
Sheriff Burke: Were gonna have to hold you son until we get those phone records.
Billy: That’s crazy, you know that?
(Outside)
(There are quite a few reporters trying to get into the police station. Gail walks up and heads for the door.)
Kenny: Are there anymore donuts in here?
Gale: Move it Kenny.
Kenny: They’re not letting anybody in.
Gale: I’m not just anybody.
Kenny: Bitch goddess.
Gale: Kenny, are we on?
Kenny: Yeah! Go!
(Gale talks to a camera.)
Gale: Hi! Gale Weathers reporting live from Woodsboro police station hoping to get a glimpse of Sidney Prescott.
Police Officer: Hey watch it lady.
Gale: Hey, watch the hair, don’t you know who your dealing with?
(Inside)
Billy: Tell them, come on dad, tell them.
Police Officer: He’s waiting for the lawyer, Billy.
(A police takes Billy away, Sidney cant face him, and she starts to cry.)
Billy: Sidney, Sidney, come on, you know me! Sidney look at me, come on!
Tatum: Sid, we are going to get you out of here okay? Are you okay?
(Off to the side)
(Dewey is talking to the Sheriff about the costume.)
Dewey: They sell this costume in every five and dime in the state. There is no way we can track the purchase.
Sheriff Burke: What about the cellular phone bill?
Dewey: We’re pulling Loomis’s account we won’t know anything till morning.
Tatum: Oh come on!
Dewey: Think he did it?
Sheriff Burke: Twenty years ago, I would’ve said “not a chance”, be these kids today, damned if I know.
Tatum: Hey Dewey can we go yet?
Dewey: Just a minute.
Tatum: God damn it Dewey.
Dewey: What did mom tell you? When I wear this badge you treat me as a man of the law.
Tatum: I’m sorry Deputy-Dewey-Boy but, we are ready to go now ok?
Police Officer: Whoa!
Sheriff Burke: Take them out the back way to avoid that circus out there.
Dewey: Come on.
Tatum: Don’t touch me.
Dewey: That was my superior.
Tatum: The janitor's your superior.
(Police Officers chuckle at Tatum treating Deputy Dewey like a little boy.)
Sheriff Burke: Let’s get back to work!
(Outside)
Gale: Isn’t there a back way out of this place?
Kenny: Yeah, down that alley I think.
(Alley)
(Sidney, Tatum and Dewey come out of the Police Station in a dark alley.)
Dewey: You guys stay here, I’m going to get the car. Don’t move, Don’t make a sound.
(Gale comes around the corner and spots them.)
Gale: There she is, Sidney! Hi! That’s some night. What happened? Are you alright?
Tatum: She’s not answering any questions. Just leave us alone.
(Sidney pushes through Tatum to Gale.)
Sidney: No Tatum. It’s okay. She’s just doing her job. Right Gale?
Gale: (smiles) Yes, that’s right.
Sidney: How’s the book?
Gale: Well, it’ll be out later this year.
Sidney: I’ll look for it.
Gale: I’ll send you a copy!
(Sidney punches Gale, she falls backwards.)
Kenny: Jeez. Nice Shot.
Sidney: Bitch.
(Tatum’s House – Tatum’s Room)
Tatum: God I loved it! “I’ll send you a copy.” BAM bitch went down! “I’ll send you a copy.” BAM! Sid, Super Bitch! You are so cool!
(Dewey enters Tatum's room holding a bag of ice.)
Dewey: I thought you might want some ice for that right hook.
Sidney: (takes the ice) Thanks.
Dewey: I’ll be right next door. Try to get some sleep.
(Tatum makes a face, and Dewey leaves.)
Tatum: Do you really think Billy did it?
Sidney: He was there Tatum.
Tatum: He was destined to have a flaw, I knew he was too perfect.
(Mrs. Riley comes in the room.)
Mrs. Riley: Telephone honey.
Tatum: Who is it?
Mrs. Riley: It’s for Sid.
Tatum: Take a message.
Sidney: I’ll get it. My dad?
Mrs. Riley: I don’t think so.
(Sidney walks out of the room to get the phone.)
Mom: How she doing?
(Tatum indicates she's not sure.)
(Hallway)
(Sidney picks up the phone.)
Sidney: Hello?
Man: (on phone) Hello Sidney.
Sidney: NO!
(Tatum comes running.)
Man: (on phone) Poor Billy - boyfriend. An innocent guy doesn’t stand a chance with you.
Sidney: Leave me alone.
Man: (on phone) Look’s like you fingered the wrong guy again!
Sidney: Who are you?
(Mrs. Riley begins knocking on Dewey’s door.)
Mrs. Riley: Dewey?
Tatum: Hang up Sid!
Man: (on phone) You’ll find out soon enough I promise.
(They both hang up. Dewey comes out of his room.)
Tatum: (to Sidney) What? What?
Dewey: What? (Trying to sound macho, he picks up the phone.) Hello?
(Kitchen – Morning)
(The TV is on.)
Reporter: (on TV) Sidney Prescott escaped a vicious attack last night. Sidney is the daughter of Maureen Prescott who was brutally killed last year by convicted murderer Cotton Weary broke into their home and savagely raped and tortured the deceased. Cotton Weary is now waiting appeal for the death sentence handed down by young Sidney after she testified against him. She was the key witness in the state’s case against....
(The TV gets turned off.)
Sidney: It’s never going to stop is it?
Dewey: Billy was released. His cellular phone bill was clean, he didn’t make those calls. We are checking every cellular account in the county. Any calls made to you or Casey Becker are being cross- referenced. It’s gonna take some time.
(Tatum looks at Sidney.)
Tatum: Okay?
(High School)
(Dewey drives up with Sidney and Tatum in the car. They all get out.)
Dewey: Don’t worry, Sid. It’s school you’ll be safe here.
(Sidney and Tatum start to walk up to the school when an obnoxious reporter runs up to them and starts to ask Sidney questions.)
Reporter: So how’s it feel to be almost brutally butchered?
Dewey: Leave her alone!
Reporter: We have a right to know.
Dewey: Leave her alone.
Reporter: How does it feel?
Dewey: She just wants to get an education.
(Sidney and Tatum start walking to the school again, when Sidney sees something and stops Tatum.)
Tatum: What?
Sidney: Just a sec.
(Sidney walks over to the news van were Gale is. She’s trying to cover up the black eye Sidney gave her.)
Gale: Stop right there.
Sidney: I’m not here to fight, I need to talk.
Gale: Kenny! Camera! Now!
Sidney: Off the record, no camera.
Gale: Forget it!
Sidney: Please, you owe me!
Gale: I owe you shit!
Sidney: You owe my mother!
(Gale signals for Kenny to put away the camera.)
Gale: Your mother’s murder was last year’s hottest court case. Someone was going to write a book about it.
Sidney: Right, but it had to be you with all your lies and bullshit theories.
Gale: What is your problem? You got what you wanted. Cotton Weary is in jail they’re gonna gas him. A book’s not gonna change that.
Sidney: Do you still think he’s innocent?
Gale: Your testimony put him away, it doesn’t matter what I think.
Sidney: During the trial you did all those stories about me calling me a liar?
Gale: I think you falsely identified him, yes.
Sidney: Have you talked to Cotton?
Gale: Many times.
Sidney: And has his story changed?
Gale: Not one word. He admits to having sex with your mother but, that’s all.
Sidney: He’s lying! She would have never touched him. He raped her and then he butchered her. Her blood was all over his coat.
Gale: He was drunk that night. He left his coat at your house after your mother seduced him.
Sidney: I saw him leave wearing it.
Gale: No! You saw someone wearing that coat...The same someone planting it in Weary’s car. Framing him!
Sidney: No! Cotton murdered my mother.
Gale: (realizes) Your not so sure anymore are you?
(Tatum comes over.)
Tatum: Nice welt sweetie. Let’s go Sid.
Gale: Those murders are related.
(Sidney turns to walk away.)
Sidney: I’m sorry I mangled your face.
Gale: Sidney don’t go.
Tatum: Just stop all right.
(Tatum and Sidney head for the school. Gale turns to Kenny.)
Gale: Jesus Christ. An innocent man on death row, A killer’s still on the loose, Kenny tell me I am dreaming.
Kenny: You wanna go live?
Gale: Not so fast, we don’t have anything concrete.
Kenny: You can’t just sit on it.
Gale: I know. That’s why we need proof. If I am right, I could save a man’s life. Do you know what that could do to my book sales?
(Kenny is unimpressed.)
(School – Hallway)
(Stu, Tatum, and Sidney are by Tatum’s locker.)
Sidney: This is a mistake, I shouldn’t be here.
Tatum: I want you to meet me here right after class. Okay Sid?
Sidney: Alright. (to Stu) Haven’t seen Billy around. Is he really pissed?
Stu: Oh you mean after you branded him the Candyman? No his heart is broken.
Tatum: Stu.
(Tatum hits Stu.)
Stu: Oww.
(A guy in a Father Death costume runs down the corridor and past Sidney, and she jumps.)
Sidney: Why are they doing this?
Stu: Are you kidding? It’s like Christmas.
Tatum: Stupidity Leak!
(Tatum hits Stu with a lolli-pop.)
Stu: Take it easy.
(Sidney takes off down the hall crying.)
Tatum: Sidney!?
(Sidney rounds the corner and runs into Billy.)
Billy: Oww.
Sidney: Jesus...shit.
Billy: It’s just me. (Sidney backs away, slowly.) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you still think its me, don’t you?
Sidney: No, no I don’t It’s just that someone was there. Someone was there Billy. Someone was trying to kill me.
Billy: I know, the police said I must of scared him off.
Sidney: I know, he called me again last night at Tatum’s house.
(Billy holds up his hands revealing ink on his fingers.)
Billy: See, It couldn’t be me. I was in jail, remember.
Sidney: I’m so sorry, please understand.
Billy: Understand what? That I have a girlfriend who would rather accuse me of a being a psychopathic killer than touch me.
Sidney: You know that’s not true.
Billy: Then what is it?
Sidney: What is it? Billy, I was attack and nearly filleted last night.
Billy: I mean between us. You haven’t been the same since your mother died.
Sidney: Is your brain leaking? My mom was killed! I can’t believe you are bringing this up.
Billy: It’s been a year.
Sidney: One year, one year tomorrow.
Billy: I think it’s time you got over that. When my mom left my dad, I accepted it. That’s how it is. She’s not coming back.
Sidney: Your parents split up! Not the same thing. Your mom left town, she’s not lying in a coffin somewhere.
Billy: Okay, Okay, I’m sorry, It’s a bad analogy. It’s just that I want my girlfriend back. (Sidney runs down the hall.) SID!!
Sidney: (turns back) I’m sorry that my traumatized life has been an inconvenience to your perfect existence.
Billy: What? What? Nobody said that Sid. (Sidney runs off.) (to himself) STUPID!
(Principal’s Office)
(Mr. Himbry is yelling at the two pranksters.)
Mr. Himbry: You make me sick. Your entire havok-enducing, thieving, whoring generation disgusts me. So 2 of your fellow students were just savagely murdered and this is the way you show your compassion and sensitivity. Huh? Let me tell you something. (He thinks) You’re both expelled! Get out!
(Himbry cuts up the mask.)
Kid #1: Come on, Mr. Himbry that’s not fair.
Mr. Himbry: Your absolutely right. It’s not fair. Fairness would be to rip your insides out. Hang you from a tree so we can expose you for the heartless desensitized little shits that you are.
(Girls Bathroom)
(Sidney places her bag on one of the sinks, and starts to wipe away the tears. Then she hears 2 girls talking, and realizes that they are talking about her, and hides in one of the stalls.)
Girl #1: She was never attacked, I think she made it all up.
Girl #2: Why would she lie about it.
Girl #1: For attention. The girl has some serious issues. What if she did it, what if Sidney killed Casey and Steve?
Girl #2: Why would she do that?
Girl #1: Maybe she had the hots for Steve and killed them both in a jealous rage.
Girl #2: What would Sidney want with Steve? She has her own bubble-butt boyfriend, Billy.
Girl #1: Maybe she’s a slut just like her mother.
(Sidney starts to cry in the stall.)
Girl #2: You're evil.
Girl #1: Please, It’s a common fact, her mother was a tramp.
Girl #2: Cut her some slack, she watched her mom get butchered.
Girl #1: And it fucked her up royally. Think about it, her mothers death left her disturbed and hostile in a cruel and inhumane world. She’s delusion. Where’s God etc. She’s completely suicidal. One day she snaps, wants to kill herself but, finds out that teen suicide is out this year and homicide is a more healthier, therapeutic expression.
Girl #2: Where do you get this shit?
Girl #1: Ricki Lake.
Girl #2: You are pathetic!
(The girls leave the bathroom and Sidney walks out of the stall.)
Sidney: (to herself) Pathetic.
(She hears a faint whisper.)
Whisper: Sidney…
Sidney: Is someone there?
(She looks up at a vent, she's relieved.)
Whisper: Sidney…
(She hears it again, louder. She jumps down on the ground and looks at each stall, she sees a man step down onto the floor and slip on a cloak. Sidney starts to run and falls down and slides out of the bathroom, narrowly escaping the evil trying to get at her.)
(Schoolyard)
Reporter: In what appears to be a prank, several students have been seen wearing scary masks. School officials have yet to comment. This is known to be the same costume worn by the killer. 17 year old Casey Becker and her boyfriend Stephen Orith have already lost their lives. Who’s next?
(Gale runs up to Dewey.)
Gale: Hi! Gale Weathers, field correspondent, Top Story.
Dewey: I know who you are Miss Weathers. How’s the eye?
Gale: Productive! Is there a problem on campus?
Dewey: No, everything is under control.
Gale: (smiles) Of course, you're here.
Dewey: You're not supposed to be here.
Gale: I know, I’m supposed to be in New York covering the Sharon Stone stalker. But who knew? You look awfully young to be a police officer.
Dewey: I’m 25 years old.
Gale: You know, in a demographic study, I prove to be most popular in males 11 - 24. I guess I just missed you. Of course you don’t look a day older than 12. Except in that upper torso area. Does the force require you to work out?
Dewey: No ma'am. Cause of my boyish looks, muscle masses has increased to my acceptance as a serious police officer.
(Dewy and Gale turn their heads toward a PA speaker.)
Mr. Himbry: (on PA) I need your attention now, kids. Due to the recent events that have just occurred, effective immediately classes will be suspended until further notice. The Woodsboro police department has issued a city wide curfew beginning at 9:00 tonight.
(Kids cheer.)
Gale: Looks like we’ve got a serial killer on our hands.
Dewey: Serial killer’s not really accurate. You got to knock off a couple more to get that title.
Gale: We can hope can’t we? (Dewey looks kinda surprised and worried at the same time.) I mean we don’t have certainly any leads. Have you located Sidney’s father?
Dewey: No, not yet.
Gale: He’s not a suspect is he?
Dewey: Well, we haven’t ruled him out as a possibility. If you excuse me.
(Dewey starts towards the doors of the school.)
Gale: I’m sorry, am I keeping you?
Dewey: If I may say so Miss Weathers you are much prettier in person.
Gale: So, you do watch the show.
Dewey: I’m 25, I was 24 for a whole year.
Gale: Please, call me Gale!
(Walkway)
(Sidney and Tatum walk along.)
Tatum: It was just some sick fuck having a laugh, Sid.
Sidney: No, it was him Tatum. I know it.
Tatum: You’re not going to pee anymore alone. If you pee, I pee. Is that clear?
(Stu walks up to them.)
Stu: Kizzo, Kaskizoo is out, I don’t know what you did Sidney, but on behalf of the entire school we say “Thank you!”
Tatum: Drop it, Stu!
Stu: I say... an improntu party tonight at my house to celebrate this fiesta. What do you say?
Sidney: Are you serious?
Stu: If this little vixen doesn’t invite the entire world we’ll be okay. Intimate gathering, Intimate friends.
Tatum: What do you say Sid? I mean pathos could have it’s perks.
Stu: Totally protected. Yo, I am so buff. I’ve got you covered, girl.
Tatum: Come on Sid, for me? It will be fun.
Sidney: Okay, whatever.
Stu: Yeah? Nice. Cool, you guys bring food alright?
(He jogs off.)
(Principal’s Office)
(Principle Himbry is playing with one of the masks, putting it on and pretending to scare someone in the mirror. There is a knock on the door.)
Mr. Himbry: Yes? Hello?
(He opens door, sees no-one, walks around office, looking around. Opens another door.)
Mr. Himbry: Damn little shits.
Fred: What did you call me?
(Principle looks over the Fred, the janitor, who happens to wear a stripped shirt that closely resembles Freddy Krugar’s.)
Mr. Himbry: Not you Fred.
Fred: Prick.
(Himbry walks back into his office. He shuts door, just as the killer comes out from behind it and runs at him.)
Mr. Himbry: Aaah! Aaaah! Uhh!
(The killer stabs Himbry continually.)
(Tatum’s House – Porch)
Tatum: What if Cotton Weary is telling the truth? Maybe he was having an affair with your mom. I mean your dad is always out of town on business. Maybe your mom was just a very unhappy woman.
Sidney: If they were having an affair, how come Cotton couldn’t prove it in court?
Tatum: Well, you can’t prove a rumor. That’s why it’s called a rumor.
Sidney: Right, created by that tabloid twit, Gale Weathers.
Tatum: It goes farther back, Sid. There’s been talk of other men.
Sidney: And you believe it?
Tatum: Well, you can only hear that Richard Gere gerbil story so many times before you got to start believing it. Oh, I’m sorry.
Sidney: Y-You know if I was wrong about Cotton Weary, the killer’s still on the loose.
Tatum: Don’t go there, Sid. Your starting to sound like some Wes Carpenter flick or something. Don’t freak yourself out, we got a long night in front of us. Okay? Let’s boogie.
(The camera delves into Tatum's garden, and closes up on a shaded spot where a lot of trees are, then the killer runs in between two trees.)
(Video Store)
(The place is jammed with people.)
TV: IT’S ALIVE! HENRY! IN THE NAME OF GOD! NOW - I - KNOW!
(Randy slides down aisle on cart holding videos.)
Man #1: Excuse me, dude.
(Randy bumps into some guy.)
Man #2: Watch it, Jerk!
(Randy makes it look like he’s putting videos away, and grabs a whole handful, then Stu knocks them all over.)
Stu: Oh sorry.
Randy: Ohhh. Dork.
Stu: Jesus, this place is phat tonight.
Randy: We had a run in the mass murder section.
Stu: You coming to my fiesta?
Randy: Yeah, I’m off early cause curfew you know.
(A girl walks up to Randy.)
Girl: What’s that werewolf movie with E.T.’s mom in it?
Randy: ‘The Howling’, horror, straight ahead.
Girl: Thanks.
(Randy looks over his shoulder and spots Billy.)
Randy: Now, that’s in bad taste.
Stu: What?
Randy: If you were the only suspect in a senseless bloodbath, would you be standing in the horror section?
(They both look at Billy.)
Stu: What? It was just a misunderstanding. He didn’t do anything.
Randy: Your such a little lap dog. He’s got killer printed all over his forehead.
Stu: Oh really, How come the cops let him go, smart guy?
Randy: Cause they obviously they don’t watch enough horror movies. This is standard horror movie stuff. ‘Prom Night’ revisited.
Stu: Yeah? Why would he want to kill his own girlfriend?
Randy: There’s always some stupid bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend.
Stu: Oh.
Randy: That’s the beauty of it all, simplicity. Besides if you get too confusing you lose your target audience.
Stu: Well, what’s his reason?
Randy: Maybe Sidney wouldn’t have sex with him?
Stu: What? Is she saving herself for you?
Randy: Maybe. Now that Billy tried to mutilate her, do you think Sid would go out with me?
Stu: NO, I DON’T AT ALL! NO! You know who I think it is? I think it’s her Father. Why can’t they find her pops, Man?
Randy: Because he’s probably DEAD! His body will come poppin up in the last reel or something. Eyes gouged out, fingers cut off, teeth knocked out! The police are always off track with this shit!
Stu: Man!
Randy: If they watched Prom Night, they’d save time. (People are beginning to look at them funny.) There’s a formula to it. A VERY SIMPLE FORMULA! EVERYBODY'S A SUSPECT!
(Everyone in the store looks at them, Stu pretends that Randy is mad.)
Randy: I’m telling you, The dad’s a red herring. It’s Billy!
(Billy comes up behind and grabs Randy by the collar.)
Billy: How do we know it’s not your not the killer, huh? Huh?
Randy: Hi Billy.
Billy: Maybe your movie freaked mind lost its reality button. Ever think of that?
Randy: You’re absolutely right I’m first to admit it. If this was a scary movie I would be the chief suspect.
Stu: What would be your motive?
Randy: It’s the Millennium. Motives are incidental.
Billy: “Millennium” hmm…I like that. That’s good. Millennium. Good kid. (walks off)
Stu: “Millennium”, good word my man.
Randy: (watches Billy leave) You're telling me that’s not a killer.
(Main Street)
(Dewey, Tatum and Sidney walk down the street. Town is basically empty. People are leaving and going home, all in fear of the killer is the midst.)
Sidney: Sure is quiet. God, look at this place. It’s the town of the “Dreaded Sun Down”.
Dewey: I saw that movie. It was about a killer in Texas huh?
Tatum: Hey Sid, just think if they make movie about you? Who’s gonna play you?
Sidney: I shudder to think.
Dewey: I see you as a young Meg Ryan myself.
Sidney: Thanks Dewey, with my luck I'd get Tori Spelling.
Dewey: I’m just gonna be a few minutes. You girls don’t go far.
(Grocery Store)
(Tatum and Sidney go inside.)
Sidney: Is Billy gonna be there tonight?
Tatum: He’d better not. I told Stu to keep his mouth shut. I think we can live without the endorphin rush for one night.
Sidney: Billy’s right. Whenever he touches me, I can’t relax.
Tatum: So you have a few intimacy issues as a result of your mother’s untimely death. That’s no big deal, Sid. You’ll thaw out.
(Tatum grabs a tub of strawberry ice cream from the freezer and closes the glass door.)
Sidney: Yeah, but he has been so patient with all the sex stuff. How many guys would put up with a girl that’s sexually anorexic?
Tatum: Billy and his penis don’t deserve you. Alright?
(As they walk off, a reflection of the killer is seen in the glass door walking past aisle.)
(Street)
(Dewey runs over to the Sheriff.)
Sheriff Burke: Dewey, where the hell have you been?
Dewey: I was keeping an eye on Sidney uh…(He sees that the Sheriff is smoking.) Thought you quit?
Sheriff Burke: I did but damn it—Dewey, Vital Phone just faxed us. Those phone calls are listed to Neal Prescott, Sidney’s father. He made those calls with the cellular phone, it’s been confirmed.
Dewey: There’s no way a cellular could be cloned?
Sheriff Burke: There’s more, guess what tomorrow is. (pause) The anniversary of his wife’s death. We’ll keep the road blocks and curfew in effect through the night. If he’s not picked up by morning, we’ll do a house-to-house. Where’s Sidney?
Dewey: She’s with my sister. Do you want me to bring her in?
Sheriff Burke: Nah. Not just yet. Let’s find Neal first, make sure he’s our man. You stay close to Sidney. Don’t let her out of your sight.
Dewey: Yes Sir.
(Stu’s House – Outside)
(Dewey drives up with Tatum and Sidney. Gale’s news van follows behind, secretly.)
Dewey: Alright you girls have fun, Not too much fun or I’ll bust ya. Bye Sid.
Sidney: Bye.
(Tatum and Sydney walk into the party.)
(Kitchen)
Tatum: Here kids. (She drops bags of food onto the counter in the kitchen. Stu is funneling beer into the mouth of one of the boys who was suspended.) Oh that’s mature.
Stu: You’re tardy for the party so we started without you. Oh my man.
(Outside – News Van)
Gale: Shh.
Kenny: Were we spotted?
Gale: I don’t think so, go get the camera.
(Dewey walks up and both Gale and Kenny jump.)
Dewey: I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare ya.
Gale: Deputy, that’s okay.
Dewey: So what brings you to these parts?
Gale: Well, you never know when or where a story will break.
Dewey: Not much of a story here just a bunch of kids cutting it loose.
Gale: Then what are you doing here?
Dewey: Just keeping an eye on things. I’m gonna take the party on.
Gale: Do you mind if I join you?
Dewey: Not at all.
Gale: Let me get my coat. (Kenny hands Gale a small camera.) Thanks. Alright.
Dewey: I’m fine. Oh yeah.
(Inside – Living Room)
Randy: How many "Evil Dead?" One? Two? How many "Hellraiser?"
Stu: Hellraiser right here.
Sidney: The Fog, Terror Train, Prom Night. How come Jamie Lee Curtis is in all of these movies?
Randy: She’s the Scream Queen!
Stu: With a set of lungs like that she should be. Yeah.
Tatum: Tits, see?
(The doorbell rings.)
Stu: Oh, I’ll get it. Hey Tate, grab another beer will ya? There’s beer in the garage. (Heads to the front door.)
Tatum: What am I? The Beer Wench?
Randy: She was nominated for Terror Train.
Sidney: Oh yeah?
(Stu comes back into room.)
Stu: You’ll never believe who’s here! It’s that chic from Top Story!
(Dewey and Gale walk in, Sidney makes face.)
Dewey: You’re under age son... (He takes the beer for a kid) ...I’m kidding have a good time.
Tatum: Dewey?
Dewey: Hi!
Tatum: Dewey? (pulls him aside) What is she doin’ here?
Dewey: She’s with me. I’m just checking things out.
Tatum: So you did. Now leave and take your media mouth with you.
(Girls start talking with Gale as Tatum heads to the garage.)
Girl #1: I just think you're awesome.
Gale: Oh thank you very much.
Girl #2: I watch your show religiously.
Gale: That’s great.
Dewey: Hey.
Sidney: Hey.
Randy: I need a camera.
(Gale slips in a secret camera by the VCR to monitor the party from the van.)
Sidney: Have you found my father?
Dewey: I’m afraid not.
Sidney: Should I be worried?
Dewey: Not yet.
(Garage)
(Tatum walks in and goes over to the fridge to get some beer.)
Tatum: Mmmm... (A shovel and other garden tools falls over and a cat runs away. She jumps though.) Jesus! Tatum it’s okay. (She moves to go back into the party with all the beer, but she discovers the door is locked.) Shit! (calling to the others) Hey Shitheads! (She tries turning the lights on, but they don’t work, so she flicks the other switch and the garage door opens, so she starts to go out the garage door. The door closes in front of her, she looks back to see the costumed killer.) Hello? Shit, Piss. Is that you Randy? (The killer shakes his head.) Cute, what movie is this from? ‘I spit on your garage’? (The killer just stares at her.) Lose the costume, if Sidney sees it she’ll flip. (The killer shakes his head again.) Oh, you wanna play psycho killer? (The killer nods his head.) Can I be the helpless victim? (The killer nods his head again.) Okay let’s see, On no Mr. Ghostface don’t kill me I want to be in the sequel. Cut Casper that’s a wrap. (She tries to walk past him but he won’t let her.) Randy, what the hell are you doing? (The Killer cuts her arm and she drops the beer.) Ahhh! Stop! (She walks back and falls down onto a chair, the killer chases her... She gets up and runs past the fridge, and opens the freezer door which slams into her face. The killer falls to the ground... She runs, and picks up some beer bottles and throws them at the man.) Fucker! (She runs over to the doggy door and tries to get through. The killer, seeing his/her golden oppurtunity, flicks the switch which opens the door. Tatum is lifted into the void air. She looks up.) Ahhh! No! No!
(Her head is squashed in the roof. She dangles lifelessly. The killer looks at her, then opens the door and enters the house.)
(Inside)
(Sidney is looking for Tatum.)
Stu: Happy Curfew!
Boy #1: Nice party, Stu.
Sidney: TATUM come on! Do you know where she is?
(Billy comes up and scares them.)
Billy: BOO!
Sidney: Oh Billy, Hey!
Stu: Mmm.... Billy. What are you doing here?
Billy: I was hoping to talk to Sidney alone.
Sidney: You know if Tatum sees you she’ll draw blood.
Stu: You know, why don’t you guys go up to my parents bedroom? So you guys can talk, whatever.
Billy: Subtlety Stu, you should look it up.
Sidney: No it’s okay we need to talk.
(Billy hits Stu and he and Sidney head upstairs.)
Stu: Ooh! Ow!
Randy: (walks up) What’s leatherface doing here?
Stu: Cute. He came to make up.
Randy: There goes my chance with Sid. Damn it.
Stu: As if, that’s all I’m going to say, as if.
Randy: Oh really Alicia? “As if” I’m going to check on them.
(Outside – News Van)
(Gale is going back to the van. Kenny is trying to get the monitor to work.)
Kenny: Come on! (Gale enters the van.) You are a genius. (He notices Gale still on the monitor.) Oh shit!
Gale: What?
Kenny: I got a delay.
Gale: How long is it?
Kenny: I don’t know.
Kenny: What did it take you to walk from the house? 30 seconds?
Gale: It’ll be fine. Just record it. Oh, the placement is perfect. Tell me Kenneth?
Kenny: Hmm?
Gale: Has a cheesy tabloid journalist ever won the Pulitzer?
Kenny: First time for everything.
Gale: You're god damn right.
(Inside – Bedroom)
(Billy and Sidney are talking.)
Billy: So um... So...I’m sorry, I’ve been selfish and I want to apologize.
Sidney: No Billy, I - I am the one who’s been selfish and self-absorbed with all of this post traumatic stress.
Billy: You lost your mom!
Sidney: Yeah, I know but your right. Enough is enough. I can’t wallow in the grief process forever and I can’t keep lying to myself about who my mother was. Yeah I think, I’m really scared. That I’m gonna turn out just like her you know? Like the bad seed or something and I know it doesn’t make any sense.
Billy: Yeah it does. hmm...It’s like Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs when she keeps having flashbacks of her dead father.
Sidney: But this is life. It’s not a movie.
Billy: Sure it is Sid. It’s all.. it is all... It’s just one big movie. Only you can’t pick your genre.
Sidney: Why can’t I be a Meg Ryan movie or even a good porno.
Billy: What?
Sidney: You heard me.
Billy: Are you sure?
Sidney: Yeah I think so.
(They begin to make out.)
(Living Room)
(Randy and friends are watching "Halloween".)
Randy: Look, Look, Look here it comes!
Boy #1: Whoa Ohh!
Boy #2: Why do they do that? The blood is all wrong. It’s too red.
Randy: Wait, here comes another.
Boy #1: Ooh, yes yes. Predictable, I knew he was going to bite it.
Boy #2: How can you watch this shit over and over?
Randy: Shh.
Stu: I wanna see Jamie Lee’s breasts. When will we see Jamie Lee’s breasts?
Randy: Breasts? Not until “Trading Places” in ‘83. Jamie was always the virgin in horror movies. She never showed her tits until she went legit.
Girl #1: Could afford a decent pair.
Randy: Wh-what did you say? That’s why she always out smarted the killer in the big chase scene at the end. Only virgins can do that, don’t you know the rules?
Stu: What rules?
Randy: (jumps up) Jesus Christ, you don’t know the rules?!
Stu: Have an aneurysm why don’t you!
Randy: There are certain rules you must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie. For instance. #1 You can never have sex. Big no-no Big no-no.
Stu: I’d be a dead man.
Randy: Sex equals death okay? #2 You can never drink or do drugs. No E sin factor. This is sin. It’s an extension of number 1. #3 Never never ever under any circumstances do you ever say ‘I’ll be right back’ cause you won’t be back.
Stu: I’m getting another beer you want one?
Randy: Yeah sure.
Stu: I’ll be right back!
All: Ooooo!!
Randy: You push the laws and you end up dead. I’ll see you in the kitchen with a knife.
(Outside – News Van)
(Gale and Kenny are watching the monitor.)
Gale: Errr... boring.
(They both get a scare when Dewey knocks on the door.)
Dewey: The sheriff just radioed. Somebody just reported a car in the bushes down the road. I’m gonna go check it out. Would you care to join me?
Gale: I’d love to. If you're sure it’s alright?
Dewey: Ma'am, I’m the deputy of this town.
Gale: Be right back.
Dewey: W-- excuse me ma'am.
Gale: Mhmm?
Dewey: I thought maybe we’d walk. It’s such a nice night out. I got a flashlight. (He flashes it on his face.) You're not scared are you?
Gale: (smiles) No. All right.
Dewey: Great. Do you know what that constellation is?
Gale: No, what is it?
Dewey: I don’t know, that’s why I was asking you.
(Inside)
Boy #1: What happened to Tatum, Stu?
Stu: She probably got pissed at me and bailed.
(Stu hugs a girl, a guy gets mad.)
Stu: No. I’m just kidding.
(Living Room)
Randy: Look! Here comes the obligatory tit shot.
Boy #1 and #2: Yes! Oh! Beautiful! Lovely! Oh my god!
Girl #1: I’ll leave you guys alone.
(Bedroom)
(Billy and Sidney are having sex.)
Billy: You are so amazing.
(Living Room)
(The phone rings and Randy answers it.)
Randy: Hello? Yeah? Holy Shit! No. (He hangs up.) Listen up! They found Principal Himbry dead. He was gutted and hung on the goal post in the football field.
(There is a brief pause before the other 2 boys jump up.)
Boys: What are we waiting for? Let’s go before they pry him down. Where did he say he was? The football field.
Randy: Come on! Where you guys going? We were just getting to the good part!
Boys: Whoo! Hi Ho Silver! Let’s Go!
(The Woods)
(Dewey and Gale are walking along.)
Gale: So, is Dewey your real name?
Dewey: No. It’s Dwight.
Gale: Dwight? (giggles) I’m sorry.
Dewey: No it’s alright. It’s just something I got stuck with a long time ago.
Gale: Well, I like it. It’s sexy.
Dewey: Sexy?
Gale: (nods) Mhmm
Dewey: It’s just this town’s way of not taking me serious.
Gale: What about Gale Weathers? It sounds like I’m a meteorologist or something. People treat me like I’m the anti-Christ of television journalism.
Dewey: I don’t think you're that bad.
Gale: No? I think that’s just because you kinda like me.
(Some cars are coming up on them from behind, going fast.)
Dewey: They are sure coming fast. SLOW DOWN! FREEZE! JUMP! (They jump and roll down a hill.) I’m sorry are you okay?
Gale: Yeah.
(They start to kiss.)
Dewey: I’m sorry I’m on duty.
(Gale looks over her shoulder.)
Gale: Is that what your looking for?
Dewey: My whole life. (Gale laughs and turns his head towards something in the bushes.) Damn.
Gale: What? What is it?
Dewey: This is Neal Prescott’s car.
Gale: Sidney’s father?
Dewey: Yeah. Jesus, what’s he doing here? We gotta get back.
(Stu’s House – Bedroom)
(Sidney and Billy are getting dressed.)
Billy: You okay?
Sidney: Yeah, yeah I’m fine. (She looks at phone.) Who’d you call?
Billy: What?
Sidney: Um…Well…when your arrested you are allowed a phone call. I was just curious, who’d you call?
Billy: I called my dad.
Sidney: No, I saw Sheriff Burke call your dad. I saw him.
Billy: Yeah, but when I called there wasn’t an answer.
Sidney: Huh.
(Billy looks at her for a bit, and realizes.)
Billy: You still don’t think it’s me do you?
Sidney: No, No! I was just thinking if it was you it would be a clever way to throw me off track. You know to use your one phone call to call me so I wouldn’t think it was you. That is all.
Billy: Really? What do I have to do to prove to you I am not a killer?
(Sidney looks into his very serious eyes.)
Sidney: Oh my god. (She sees a shadow on the door, and then sees the killer walk in.) Oh my god!!
Billy: Sidney?
Sidney: Billy, watch out!
(Billy spins around, but it's too late, the killer slashes his chest. Billy turns around and looks at Sidney.)
Billy: Ahhh! Ahhh! SID!
Sidney: No! (The killer then goes after her.) Shit! (She jumps over the bed and out the door.)
(Bedrooms)
(Sidney runs through a lot of rooms, and then finally runs into the attic.)
(Attic)
(Sidney keeps the door close by putting a surfboard across it to cover it. She runs to the window and sees the news van.)
Sidney: Help! HELP!
(She opens the window and climbs out. She stands out on the roof in the cold night looking for a way to get onto the ground and get to the news van. The killer gets through the blockage and grabs Sidney. She fights him/her off her and she falls and lands onto a boat in Stu's drive way.)
(Driveway)
(Sidney looks up and sees the killer isn't at the window no more. As her eyes come back down to eye level, she spots Tatum, hanging from the doggy door, dead. Covering her mouth, she starts to cry, but runs to the news van.)
Sidney: Help me somebody help me. HELP ME!
(Living Room)
(Randy is the only person still at the house. He’s very drunk and still watching that movie.)
Randy: NO JAMIE WATCH OUT! Watch out Jamie you know he’s around. You you know. Look there he is I told you. He’s right around the corner. (The killer enters the room and stands behind Randy.) J- J- Jamie look behind you, Jamie look behind you! Look behind you! Turn around, behind you! Behind you Jamie, Jamie turn around. Oh god, Yeah.
(Outside – News Van)
(Sidney runs up.)
Sidney: Help me! Help me! Let me in! The killer’s after me. He’s in the house.
Kenny: Where wait! There’s a camera in the house. Look!
(A frightened look goes across Kenny's face, he sees Father Death standing behind Randy, lifting up his hunting knife.)
Kenny: Oh my god! No, oh shit! Behind you kid!
Sidney: RANDY! Behind you. Look around!
(Kenny slides open the door to the news van, and sees the front door wide open.)
Kenny: Shit!
Sidney: What?
Kenny: Were on a 30 second delay. Oh my god.
(The killer runs up to Kenny and slits his throat. Kenny turns around and looks at Sidney, blood rushes out of his throat.)
Sidney: Ahh!
(Sidney slams the door shut, but the killer manages to stab her in the shoulder area. She climbs through the van, and crawls out a small hole in the back of the van where leads and cables come out of the van. The killer tries, but cant get through.)
(Time Lapse)
(Gale and Dewey run up to the van.)
Dewey: Is there a phone in the van?
Gale: Yeah.
Dewey: Lock yourself in it and call the sheriff for back up. Be careful!
(Front Porch)
(Dewey runs into the house. He walks slowly and carefully through the house.)
Dewey: Neal? Mr. Prescott?
(Outside – News Van)
Gale: Shit! Kenny, I need the cellular. Kenny? Kenny? (She notices the blood on the ground, and quickly jumps into the van. Gale dials a number.) 911.
(Randy runs past the window.)
Randy: What’s going on? (Gale gets scared, and bashes him with the cellular.) Ooh! Aah!
(She turns on the van and notices a red substance on the windscreen. She tries to rub it off, but cant. Gale turns on the windscreen wipers, and it rubs off. She can see it's blood. She reverse's and breaks. Kenny flies onto the windscreen and Gale screams.)
Gale: Oh god! Oh! Oh God! Kenny, I’m sorry, but get the fuck off my windshield.
(Road)
(Sidney tries to wave Gale down.)
Sidney: STOP! Oh god!
(Gale sees Sidney and swerves to miss her, and looses control. The news van slams into a tree. Thinking Gale was dead, Sidney runs back to the house.)
(Stu’s House – Front Porch)
Sidney: Dewey! Dewey! Dewey, where are you? (Dewey stumbles out of the house.) Dewey?
Dewey: Sidney?
(Dewey falls to the ground, with a knife in his back. Sidney runs to the police car.)
(Police Car)
(Sidney gets in and locks the doors. She finds their are no keys.)
Sidney: Shit!
(The killer pops up and knocks on the window with his knife. Sidney looks up, and the killer reveals he has the keys to the car. The killer then disappears. Sidney turns on the radio.)
Radio: 7825 code 6 suspect at 105 N. Avenue 52.
Sidney: Hello! Help Me! I’m at Stu Macher’s house on Turner Lane. It’s 261 Turner Lane. Please he’s gonna try and kill me.
(The killer unlocks the car on several doors, distracting Sidney. He climbs in through the back and fights with Sidney, she punches him and runs out.)
(Front Porch)
(Sidney looks back to see he is not there. Randy runs up to her, followed by Stu.)
Randy: SIDNEY! SIDNEY! Jesus, we got to get the fuck out of here.
Sidney: Stop, right there!
(Sidney gets the gun from the supposedly dead Dewey.)
Randy: Don’t shoot, It’s me. I found Tatum she’s dead. I think Stu did it!
Stu: Don’t listen to him Sidney!
Sidney: Stay back!
Randy: Stu did it!
Stu: He killed Billy. He killed my Tatum. You did it. You killed my Tatum.
Randy: No, I didn’t, you lied.
Stu: Sidney, baby, please give me that gun. Give me that gun. Christ man.
Randy: No he did it, Sid. He did it. He did it Sidney. Please, I didn’t do it, He did it Sidney. Please Sidney. NO!
Sidney: FUCK YOU BOTH!
(Sidney slams the door shut and locks it.)
(Foyer)
Randy: (os) No No SIDNEY! Open up he did it help me! He’s going crazy Sidney.
Sidney: GO AWAY! Leave me alone.
(Billy comes out on the top of the stairs, all bloody, he rolls down the stairs.)
Billy: Sid?
Sidney: Billy?
Sidney: Oh B-B-, Are you okay? Okay? I thought you were dead.
Billy: I’m like a stuck pig but, I am alright. I’m okay.
Sidney: You're bleeding. Oh my god.
Billy: We got to get help.
Sidney: No, he’s out there.
Billy: Give me the gun. Give me the gun. It’s okay.
(Sidney hands him the gun.)
Sidney: Careful.
(Billy opens the door and Randy runs in.)
Randy: Please. Help me!
Billy: Come in! Come in!
(Billy locks the door again.)
Randy: Stu’s flipped out, he’s gone mad!
(Billy smiles an evil smile.)
Billy: We all go a little mad sometimes.
(Billy aims the gun at Randy.)
Sidney: No No BILLY!
Randy: Oh fuck!
(Randy gets shot and flies backwards.)
Billy: Anthony Perkins, Psycho. Mmm. (He scratches his head with the gun. He then licks his fingers.) Corn syrup. The same stuff they used as pig’s blood in Carrie.
(Stu walks in through the kitchen.)
Sidney: Stu. Help me please.
(Stu holds up a voice changer.)
Stu: Surprise Sidney.
Sidney: No ooh!
(Stu throws the voice changer to Billy.)
Billy: Oh now Whoa! What’s the matter Sidney? It looks like you’ve seen a ghost.
Sidney: Why are you doing this?
Stu: It’s all part of the game, Sidney.
Billy: It’s called guess how I am going to die!
Sidney: Fuck YOU!
Billy: NO NO NO we already played that game remember? You lost!
Stu: It’s a fun game, Sidney. See we ask you a question you get it wrong, boogyah, you die.
Billy: You get it right, you die!
Sidney: You're crazy, both of you!
Stu: Actually we prefer the term “psychotic”.
Sidney: You’ll never get away with this.
Billy: OH NO? Tell that to Cotton Weary. You wouldn’t believe how easy he was to frame.
Stu: Watch a few movies, take a few notes, It was fun!
Sidney: NO! (She tries to run away.)
Billy: Whoa!
Stu: Where you going?
Sidney: Why? Why did you kill my mother? Why? WHY?
Billy: You hear that Stu? I think she wants a motive. I don’t really believe in motives Sid. Did Norman Bates have a motive?
Stu: No!
Billy: Did they ever really decide why Hannibal Lector like to eat people? I don’t think so! It’s a lot scarier when there is no motive Sid. We did your mother a favor. That woman was a slut-bag whore who flashed her shit all over town, like she was Sharon Stone or something. Yeah, we put her out of her misery.
Stu: Let’s face it Sid, your mother was no Sharon Stone. hmm?
Billy: Is that motive enough for you? How about this…your slut mother was fucking my father. And she’s the reason my mom moved out and abandoned me. (Stu looks surprised.) How’s that for a motive? Maternal abandonment causes serious deviant behavior. It certainly fucked you up. It caused you to have sex with a psychopath.
Stu: That’s right you gave it up. Your no longer a virgin Ooh! I said “virgin” Whoops!! Now you got to die, those are the rules.
Billy: Let’s pretend it’s all one big scary movie. How do you think it’s gonna end?
Stu: Oh! Oh! This is the greatest part you’re gonna love this! Yeah your gonna love this one. It’s a scream baby! Hold on a sec, I’ll be right back!
(Stu puts the gun down on the counter in the kitchen and walks out of the room.)
Billy: You know what time it is, Sid? It’s after midnight. It’s your mom’s anniversary. We killed her exactly one year ago today.
Stu: ATTENTION Oh..look what we have behind door #3, Sidney.
(Stu brings out Neal Prescott, tied up in thick tape.)
Sidney: Daddy. (She tries to get at her father.)
Billy: Whoa hold it. That’s enough.
Stu: (talking through the voice changer) Guess we won’t be needing this anymore. Uh-huh. (Stu puts it in Neal's top pocket.) And oh look at this ring-ring won’t need this. (He also slips in Neal's mobile phone.)
Billy: Got the ending figured out yet, Sid?
Stu: Come on Sid, You think about it now, huh? Your daddy’s the chief suspect we cloned his cellular. Evidence is all right there baby!
Billy: What if your father snapped? Your mothers anniversary set him off and he went on a killing spree. Killing everyone. Except for me and Billy we were left for dead. And then he kills you and shots himself in the head. Perfect ending.
Stu: I thought of that.
Billy: Watch this. Ready?
Stu: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, baby, Right, get it up, yeah, baby, get it up, hit it. (Billy stabs him.) Good one man! Jesus! Oh shit, my turn!
Billy: Don’t forget, stay to the side and don’t go too deep.
Stu: Okay I’ll remember. (He stabs Billy.)
Billy: Ahh! Fuck! Fuck! God damn Stu!
Stu: Sorry Billy, I guess I got a little too zealous, huh?
Billy: Give me the knife.
Stu: No.
Billy: Give me the knife! NOW!
Stu: You see Sid! Everybody dies but us. Everybody dies but us. We get to carry on and plan the sequel. Cause let’s face it baby, cause these days you gotta have a sequel.
Sidney: You sick fucks have seen to many movies!
(Billy stabs Stu again.)
Billy: (still facing Stu) Sid, don’t blame the movies. The movies don’t create psychos, movies make psychos more creative.
Stu: Oh stop it Billy, would you? Alright? I can’t take it anymore. I’m feeling a little woozy here!
Billy: Alright, Alright, get the gun and I’ll untie pops. Okay?
(Stu turns around.)
Stu: Um uh - - Houston we have a problem here.
Billy: What?
Stu: The gun man, the gun I put it right here and it’s not here.
Billy: Where the fuck is it?
(Gale comes in with the gun.)
Gale: Right here asshole.
Billy: Man, I thought she was dead!
Stu: She looked dead man! She still does!
Gale: I’ve got an ending for you. The reporter left for dead in the news van comes to. Stumbles on to you two dip shits. Finds the gun, foils your plan, and saves the day.
Sidney: I like that ending.
Billy: I know something you don’t.
(Billy walks forward, and Gale tries to shoot him. Nothing happens. Billy kicks her out of the front door, and she hits a pole and falls unconscious onto the ground in a heaped pile next to Dewey.)
Stu: Yeah, Man!
Billy: Yeah, aw so sweet. It works better without the safety on. (He stands up and is ready to shoot Gale.) This is Gale Weathers signing off-
Stu: (turns to Sidney) Baby your gonna love this! (She’s gone.) Shit!
Billy: What? Where are they? Where are they?
(Sidney and Neal are gone.)
Stu: I don’t know but, I’m hurting man.
Billy: Fuck!
(The phone rings.)
Stu: Shall I let the machine get it?
Billy: Hello?
Sidney: (using the voice changer) Are you alone in the house?
Billy: Bitch, you bitch, where the fuck are you?
Sidney: (using the voice changer) Not so fast I want to play a little game, it's called... (normal) ...guess who just called the police and reported your sorry mother fucking ass!
Billy: (to Stu) Find her you dipshit, get up!
Stu: I can’t Billy. I think you cut me too deep. I think I’m dying here man.
Billy: (hands Stu the phone) Talk to her, Talk to her.
Stu: Hello?
Sidney: Oh, Stu, Stu, Stu, what’s your motive? Billy’s got one, the police are on their way. What are you going to tell them?
Stu: Peer pressure, I’m far too sensitive.
(Billy runs through the house, looking for her. He comes back and grabs the phone from Stu.)
Billy: I’m going to rip you up you bitch, just like your fucking mother.
Sidney: You got to find me first you pansy ass-momma’s boy.
(Billy hits Stu with the phone.)
Stu: Fuck! Oh you fucker you hit me with the phone, dick!
Billy: Fucker, where are you? You Fuck!
(Billy goes off looking for Sidney again, Stu picks up the phone.)
Stu: Did you really call the police?
Sidney: You bet your sorry ass I did.
Stu: (crying) My mom and dad are going to be so mad at me.
(Hallway)
(Billy’s looking for Sidney. Billy stops at a closet, he looks in and doesn't see anything. He turns away but looks back. Just then Sidney, in the killers costume, slams into Billy with an umbrella.)
Billy: Aaahh! Bitch! Aaaahhh! Aaaaaahhh! Aaaaahhhh!
(Billy falls to the floor, and Sidney takes of the mask. Just as Stu comes running out, attacking Sidney. Sidney hits Stu over the head with a vase.)
Stu: Ooh! My arm!
(The fight along the ground.)
(Living Room)
(The fight moves into the living room. Sidney manages to get the upper hand and she stands up.)
Stu: I always had a thing for you Sid! Bitch!
Sidney: In your dreams!
(Sidney pushes a TV on Stu's head, and he dies, electrocuted.)
(Hallway)
(Sidney walks out to the hall. Then Randy pops up and Sidney yells.)
Randy: I’m sorry, it’s alright.
Sidney: Oh my god Randy I thought you were dead!
Randy: I probably should be, I never thought I would be so happy to be a virgin.
(Billy surprisingly punches Randy back out.)
Billy: Fucker! Say hello to your mother!
(Then Gale shoots Billy again, sending him falling back. Sidney helps Randy up.)
Sidney: It’s okay!
Gale: Guess I remembered the safety that time, you bastard!
Randy: Careful, this is the moment when the supposably dead killer comes back to life for one last scare.
(Billy's pops up and Sidney shoots Billy.)
Sidney: Not in my movie.
(Then Sidney’s dad bursts out of the closet. They all jump.)
Sidney: Dad. Randy, help me out!
(They pull off masking tape from his mouth.)
Mr. Prescott: Ow! Aah!
Sidney: You okay? Are you okay?
Mr. Prescott: Yeah.
(Outside – Dawn)
(The area is crawling with police.)
Ambulance: (to Dewey) Hang in there buddy? Alright? Over here sorry kid.
Dewey: Where’s Gale?
(Gale has gotten another cameraman and is preparing to go live.)
Gale: Okay, I think it’s gonna go something like this, Just stay with me. (to camera) Hi this is Gale Weathers, with an exclusive eyewitness account of this amazing breaking story. Several more local teens are dead, bringing to the end of the harrowing mystery of the mass killing that has terrified this peaceful community like the plot of a some scary movie. It all began with a scream over 911 that ended in a bloodbath that has rocked the town of Woodsboro. All played out here in this peaceful farmhouse far from crimes and the sirens of larger cities that its residents fled…
