EXT. RIALTO THEATRE

MAUREEN
I hate scary movies. I should be studying, I got a bio due, you know that?

PHIL
Did I mention that these tickets are free? Free.

MAUREEN
Sandra Bullock is playing right down the street.

PHIL
Now why do you wanna pay 7.50 to see some Sandra Bullock, unless she's naked.

MAUREEN
Oh, but you will sit through some movie called STAB.

PHIL
It's an adrenaline rush Maureen, that's what it is.

MAUREEN
No, I'll tell you what is. It's a dumb ass white movie about some dumb ass white girls getting their white asses cut the fuck up.

PHIL
Is that what it is?

MAUREEN
No, I'm just saying that the horror genre is historical for excluding the African American element.

PHIL
Now where do you get your P.H.D. in black cinema sister soldier?

MAUREEN
Listen, I read my Entertainment Weekly, I know my shit.

PHIL 
Yeah Maureen, I read my Blackbeat too. Black eyes. Black peeps.

THEATRE USHER
Hi, here you go.

MAUREEN
What's this?

THEATRE USHER
Stab souveneirs, the studio sent them.

MAUREEN
And it's white! Thank you.

STAB Movie begins as PHIL and MAUREEN make their way to their seats while the song "Red Right Hand" plays in the background as the movie begins. A young girl with blonde hair named Casey walks into the bathroom during a thunderstorm as she gets ready to take a shower.

MAN IN THEATRE
Take it off!!

(MAUREEN flims her hand in disgust and annoyance)

MAUREEN
Now why does she gotta be naked? What does that have to do with the plot, her being butt ass naked?

PHIL
I don't know about the plot, but I got a stiffie.

MAUREEN
You better loosen up that wrist.

Back to STAB, a phone rings as Casey looks back and dresses back up to answer the phone. The men in the theatre grumble in disappointment.

CASEY IN "STAB"
Hello?

VOICE IN STAB
Hello.

CASEY IN "STAB" 
Who is this?

VOICE IN "STAB"
You tell me.

CASEY IN "STAB"
No, really who is this?

MAUREEN
Bitch hang up the phone up and Star 69 his ass! Damn!

VOICE IN "STAB"
Look out back, see your boyfriend anywhere around?

CASEY IN "STAB"
I don't even have a boyfriend right now. 

VOICE IN "STAB"
Would you like one? Hello? Cat got your tongue?

MAUREEEN
Damn, give me some money, I'm gonna get some popcorn.

PHIL 
You got money.

MAUREEN
I know I got money, I asked for your money.

PHIL
Cheapskade.

MAUREEN
Thank you

CASEY IN "STAB"
I don't even know you, and I despise you already.

MAUREEN EXITS THEATRE WHERE A SCREAM IN THE THEATRE MAKES HER JUMP.

GIRL
Hey, come on!

GIRL 2
I know, I was so scared!

THEATRE USHER
Hey, we're sold out.

THEATRE USHER 2
Oh cool.

CONCESSION WORKER
Hello.

MAUREEN
Hi, I'll have a medium popcorn, no butter, and a small diet pepsi.

CONCESSION WORKER
You got it.

MAUREEN
Thanks.

GIRL 
That's it, I'm not going back in there.

GIRL 2
Come on you chicken shit, it's just a movie.

GIRL
No, it's not just a movie, it's a true story. All of these kids got killed a couple of years ago in California.

MAUREEN TAKES HER FOOD AND HEADS BACK TO THE THEATRE.

MAN
Ahhh!!!

MAN 2
Stab you man! Ahhhh!!

MAUREEN OPENS THE THEATRE DOOR AS A GHOST-MASKED FIGURE JUMPS OUT FROM BEHIND HER.

PHIL 
ahhhhh!!!

MAUREEN
Ahhhhhh!!!!

MAUREEN
You ass!!

PHIL
Sorry baby.

MAUREEN
Why are you playing?

PHIL
What's wrong? Why are you so tense?

MAUREEN
I don't like being scared.

PHIL
Ok, besides, scary movies are great for foreplay.

MAUREEN
Will you stop!

PHIL
Come on, let's go catch the Sandra Bullock movie.

MAUREEN
No, Sandra started already, we can stay. Alright, well just don't play so much.

PHIL
Gotta go to the bathroom.

MAUREEN
Ok.

PHIL
See ya inside.

MAUREEN walks back into the theate where onscreen in STAB, a chair comes crashing through a window as Casey runs for her life. While, Maureen sits down and puts her jacket on, Phil enters the restroom.
He stands patiently as two men dressed in Ghostface costumes are using the urinals. Phil decides to use one of the stalls. He bangs on the first one to realize it's occupied.

PHIL
Sorry.

Phil sees that the second stall is unoccupied and decides to use it. Suddenly, Phil hears a strange noise coming from the first stall and decides to listen in as he laughs since it seems to be a couple in the stall. 

VOICE FROM STALL
No, I didn't mean to, I swear. Oh mommy, mommy! Oh Oh!! 

Phil places his ear up to the bathroom stall wall.

VOICE FROM STALL
Listen mommy! Listen mommy! Listen mommy!

Suddenly, a thrust of a knife from the killer in the next stall, goes throught the wall, stabbing Phil severly in the head as blood comes from his mouth and Phil falls to the floor, dead. The killer exits the stall quietly as Phil lies dead in a pool of blood.

Meanwhile, back onscreen, Casey jumps over a wall as she ducks in the back.

MAUREEN
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!! Don't do that!

MAUREEN
Move, go go!

The killer dressed in Phil's jacket seats himself next to Maureen.

MAUREEN
Baby, give it up!

MAUREEN
You're back in time. It looks like she's gonna get it. Want some popcorn?

The killer nods no.

MAUREEN
Now, see if that was me, I'd be out of there!

Onscreen in STAB, the killer jumps out of a window onto Casey as she gets up and runs as fast she can, as the killer grabs her from behind.

MAUREEN
Here it comes! Here it comes! 

MAUREEN hides her face into "Phil" as onscreen, the killer stabs Casey in the chest as Casey falls screaming.

MAUREEN looks up at the screen and looks at her hand, and realizes it's full of blood as she looks at "Phil" in wonder. Suddenly, the killer pulls out the knife as MAUREEN looks in terror.

MAUREEN
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

The killer stabs Maureen in the stomach as she gets up and walks to the aisle. Back onscreen, the killer is stabbing Casey repeatedly. As Maureen walks in the aisle, the killer comes behind her and begins stabbing her six more times as Maureen walks up to the screen.

The audience cheers in delight, thinking Maureen is part of a publicity stunt for STAB. Maureen flails her arms in the arm and looks around, as the theatre begins to realize it's real. Maureen flails back and then falls dead.

TITLE CARD TO SCREAM 2

INT. SIDNEY AND HALLIE'S DORM ROOM

a phone begins to ring. A girl laying in her bed, awakens to the phone call as she grabs the phone.

SIDNEY
Hello?

SIDNEY
Hello?

VOICE
Hello Sidney. What's your favorite scary movie?

SIDNEY 
Who is this?

VOICE
You tell me.

Sidney grabs for her caller ID.

SIDNEY
Cory Gillis. 555-0176.

CORY 
Shit!

SIDNEY
Hot flash Cory, prank calls are criminal offense prosecuted under penal code 653M.

CORY
Shit! 

CLICK! The phone goes dead.

SIDNEY
Hope you enjoyed the movie.

HALLIE
Time to change numbers again?

SIDNEY
Nah, it'll die off, it's opening weekend.

HALLIE grabs the remote as she turns the TV on as SIDNEY is looking at the mirror.

COTTON ON TV
Well, you can never tell...

Sidney turns to the familiar voice.

TALK SHOW HOST 
You were fully exhonorated, you were an innocent man, and thanks to Gale Weathers book.

COTTON ON TV
Yeah, but a nickel won't get you a coffee in prison anymore.

THE AUDIENCE ON TV LAUGHS.

COTTON
Yeah, but Gale's been great.

HALLIE
Get your ass in gear, you're late! Don't forget about the Acid Rain Mixer tonight at Delta Lambda's tonight.

SIDNEY
I don't think I can go Hallie.

HALLIE 
What?! Come on, you promised.

SIDNEY
Hallie, you know about me and organized religion.

HALLIE
It's a sorority.

SIDNEY 
Worse!

HALLIE
Are you OK?

SIDNEY
I'm fine.

HALLIE
"I'm fine." Yeah, I see that remark is always strecthed tightly across your face.

GIRL
Check out the news!

TV REPORTER
Last night at a sneak preview showing of the movie STAB. Authorities won't release anything, except for that the two victims, Maureen Evans and Phil Stevens were both Windsor seniors.

SIDNEY
Where's Randy?

HALLIE
He's got film theory this morning.

EXT. DORM HOUSE

Sidney heads out of the dorm house and is immediately mobbed by several reporters.

REPORTER #1
Sidney, did you know the victims?

REPORTER #2
Do you feel frightened by the murders?

Sidney pushes through and heads off.

INT. FILM THEORY CLASSROOM

PROFESSOR
So, what you're saying is that killer's influence was based on the movie itself.

CICI
That is so moral majority, you can't blame real life violence on entertainment.

GUY
Wait a minute, yes you can!

GUY #2
Hello? The guy was wearing a Ghostmask, just like in the movie, it's directly responsible.

CICI
No it's not! Movies are not responsible for our actions.

GIRL
I had biology with that girl. This is serious.

RANDY
Thank you, I agree with that.

MICKEY
Oh come on Randy, with all due respect, the killer obvious patterned himself after two serial killers who were immortalized on film. 

GUY #2
Thank you!

PROFESSOR
So, you're saying that someone is trying to make a real life sequel?

RANDY
STAB 2? Why would anyone want to do that? Sequels suck!

MICKEY
It is common fact, there have been many sequels that have succeeded their original.

CICI
Name one.

GUY 
Aliens, far better than the first.

CICI
Yeah, well there's no accounting for taste.

RANDY
Thank you, "Ridley Scott" rules. Name another.

GUY #2 
No, Aliens is a classic. "Get away from her, you bitch!"

RANDY
I believe the line is, "Stay away from her, you bitch." This is film class right?

MICKEY
T2.

CICI 
You've got a hard on for Cameron.

RANDY
Yeah, a big one.

GUY 
The first Terminator is a classic.

RANDY
"Sarah Connor?" "Yes?" BOOM!

The class laughs.

GUY #2 
House 2: The Second Story.

CICI 
What?

RANDY 
The horror genre was destroyed by sequels.

MICKEY
No, wait, I got it. The Godfather: Part 2.

Class agrees while Randy does a Marlon Brando impression that makes the class laugh. Suddenly, Sidney shows up and her presence is immediately known to Randy.

PROFESSOR
We'll continue the sequel discussion tomorrow.

GIRL
So, Mr. Originality, what would you make different?

RANDY
I'd let the geek get the girl.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS

SIDNEY
300 people watched, no one did anything. They all though it was a publicity stunt.

RANDY 
So?

SIDNEY
It's starting again Randy.

RANDY
No, a lot happens in movie theaters these days. People get mamed, murdered, robbed, shot. Multiplexs are a very dangerous place to be these days.

SIDNEY
Yeah, and you are in extreme denial.

RANDY
And you should be too, this has nothing to do with us.

SIDNEY
Randy, a guy in a Ghostmask hacked up two people in a movie theater telling our life story. 

RANDY
Coincidence?

SIDNEY
You know what happened in Woodsboro. You can't deny it.

In the backround we see DEREK approaching.

RANDY
Yes Sidney, and I don't wanna go back there. Can't we go back to our pseudo quasi happy existence, hello Derek.

DEREK
Hey, I heard what happened, you weren't in class.

SIDNEY
Yeah, I skipped, I couldn't take all of the "that's her" looks.

DEREK
Is there anything I can do?

SIDNEY
Do you have a way back to a pseudo quasi happy existence.

DEREK
You know what, I think I might.

SIDNEY
That was pretty good.

RANDY
Get a room.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS

GALE
They're what? Are you kidding, they'd be stupid to pull this movie. It'll break box office records. No, it's a done deal.

JOEL
Miss Weathers? Hi, I'm Joel, you're new cameraman.

GALE
Do you have experience?

JOEL
Uh yeah, I shot the bingo finals, heck, I won an award for that.

GALE 
Great. Ok Joel, this is how it works. I point, you shoot. You stay focused and fast and on your toes, and we'll get along fine. Think you can handle that?

JOEL
Uh yeah.

DEBBIE
Excuse me Miss Weathers, could I have a word with you?

GALE
No.

DEBBIE
Please, it'll just take a second. I just want to say that I am a big fan of your work. I read your book, and I couldn't put it down, it was that great.

GALE
Why thank you.

DEBBIE
I'm a writer myself, well, just for the local paper, The Post Telegraph. I'm Debbie Salt. I took your seminar last year in Chicago. I was the one in the front asking all of the questions.

GALE
Right, I thought you looked familiar.

DEBBIE
Yeah, well I can't wait to see the movie. You must be getting alot of flack about that. Right?

GALE
No comment.

DEBBIE
Please Miss Weathers, it would be such an honor if I could get a quote from you for my story.

GALE
Alright. Begin quote.

DEBBIE
Great.

GALE
Your flattering remarks are both desperate and obvious. End quote.

REPORTER 
Gale, do you feel the murders are related to Sidney Prescott?

CHIEF HARTLEY (at podium)
Could I have your attention. My name is Chief Louis Hartley.

GALE
Chief Hartley. Hi, Gale Weathers, author of "The Woodsboro Murders."
Do you think that the killer will strike again?

CHIEF HARTLEY
We have no evidence that this is a serial killer. I'd like to see that...

GALE
Are you taking any precautions?

RANDY 
Oh man, this is huge.

RANDY 
Sidney, look, it's Gale Weathers.

SIDNEY
What?

RANDY
Star of the Gale Weathers press conference. Author of the press conference starring Gale Weathers. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Gale Weathers.

SIDNEY
Be kind, she saved our lives.

RANDY
Check the calf implants. I'm gonna get closer.

Several sorority girls, including LOIS and MURPHY approach the group.

LOIS
Hello girls.

HALLIE
Oh, hello sister Lois, sister Murphy.

MURPHY
Hello pledge. Hi Sidney!

SIDNEY 
Hey.

MURPHY
This must be hell for you. 

SIDNEY
I manage.

MURPHY
To think that this fest is all about you. Not directly, but in some six degrees of Kevin Bacon way.

LOIS
So Sidney, are you coming to our little martini mixer tonight?

SIDNEY
I don't know, I think..

HALLIE
We'll be there.

LOIS
Oh good, cause Sid, we have our eyes on you. The Delta Lambdas are very sensitive to your plight and if you need anything just call. Bye!

DELTA LAMBDA GIRL
Bye.

DEREK
Are you gonna start to dress like that once you get in?

SIDNEY
That's not gonna happen.

MICKEY
The Delta Lambdas are the biggest bunch of fucking..

HALLIE
Hey! I'm pledging Delta Lambda.

SIDNEY
Oh my god.

DEREK
Who's that?

SIDNEY 
Dewey?! Hey!

DEWEY
Oh man, I was worried about you. I heard what happened and I was on the first flight. Can we talk?

SIDNEY
Yeah.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS AT A TABLE ON A PORCH

SIDNEY
Things were going fine until now. But uh, theatre is going great. I got my first starring role and we open in two days.

DEWEY
That is great!

SIDNEY
Yeah, and uh, I'm seeing someone. He's a nice guy, no apparent psychotic tendencies.

DEWEY
I was just worried. Look Sid, if there is some freaked out psycho trying to follow in Billy Loomis' footsteps, you probably already know him, or her, or them. They're probably already in your life.

SIDNEY
You don't think I know that Dewey? What am I supposed to do, crawl under a rock?

DEWEY
No, I'm gonna talk to Chief Hartley and the local police. I'm gonna make sure that you're safe. I'm just gonna hang around if that's ok?

SIDNEY
Yeah, I'd be honored.

DEWEY 
Alright.

DEREK
Hey, are you alright? Who was that guy?

SIDNEY
An old friend.

RANDY
Deputy Dewey, Woodsboro's finest. What's he doing here?

SIDNEY
He's worried. Our surrogate big brother.

RANDY
Wow, Nothing like a funeral bringing the family together. I'm gonna go say hi.

MICKEY
Chief Hartley said the girl was stabbed seven...

DEREK
Drop it!

GALE
Hello Sidney.

SIDNEY
Hi...Gale.

GALE
Well, I was hoping I could get a few words from you with...

SIDNEY
Cotton.

COTTON
Hello Sidney.

GALE
Here we are at Windsor College where Sidney Prescott has just been reunited with Cotton Weary for the first time since she wrongfully accussed him of her murdering her mother.

SIDNEY
What the hell are you doing?

GALE
We want to know what you think..

COTTON
Sidney, I'd just like to say that I forgive and forget, and like you, I'd like to move on with my life.

SIDNEY
You bitch! (she is about to puch out Gale)

GALE
Nah ahh ah!

GALE 
Oh Sidney, share with us please!

BAM! Sidney slaps Gale across the face.

SIDNEY
I'll share with you!

HALLIE
Did you get that on film?

JOEL
Yes, I got that on film.

COTTON
Gale, what's going on? You mean, she didn't know?

JOEL
Oh man, that was cold.

GALE
Hey, you need to check your conscience at the door sweetie! We're not here to be loved.

COTTON
Gale, you promised me 10 minutes of air time.

GALE
You'll get your ten minutes when I get my god damn interview! 

COTTON
Gale, now I did my part. Don't walk away from me! Gale!

GALE
Joel! 

Gale walks up the campus where she runs smack dab into Dewey.

GALE
Dewey? What are you doing here?

DEWEY
Can't you just leave her alone? Hasn't she been through enough?! And my name is Dwight!

GALE
I was just doing my job, Dwight.

DEWEY
No matter who gets hurt in the process.

GALE
Hey! Who got punched here? Me!

DEWEY
Well, I'd say you deserved it. Page 32, "Deptuy Dewey filled the room with his Barney Fifish presence."

GALE
I see that you read my book. 

DEWEY
Well, Miss Weathers, I do read.

GALE
Come on Dewey, it's just a character in a book.

DEWEY
Page 41, "Deputy Dewey oozed with inexperience."

GALE 
Don't you think you're overreacting just a little bit?

DEWEY
No, what I think is that your money hungry and fame seeking and forgive me for saying, mediocre writing, has a cold storage where a heart should be. No offense intended.

GALE
Dewey, I never meant to imply...

DEWEY
How do you know that my dimwitted inexperience isn't merely a subtle form of manipulation used to lower people's expectations thereby enhancing my ability to effectively maneuver within any given situation.

GALE
I don't what to say, except for that, I'm sorry.

DEWEY 
No, I'm sorry, I misjudged you. Oh, one more thing, nice streaks.

GALE
Well!

INT. DELTA LAMBDA ZETA SORORITY HOUSE AT THE MARTINI MIXER

HALLIE
See, party life can be good. This is safe, and fun.

SIDNEY
Hallie, I think your psych major is getting to your head. I'm fine.

HALLIE
You know that's beginning to become your theme song. "I'm fine.
Yeah, neurotic, insecure, and fucked up.

LOIS

MURPHY

CICI runs out the front door and stops.

GIRL ON PHONE
You're breaking up. Where are you?

CICI

GIRL ON PHONE

CICI 
Alright.

CICI dials the campus security.

A girl comes from behind!

DAWNIE

CICI 
Oh! Jesus Dawnie, you scared me!

DAWNIE
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, did anyone call for me?

DAWNIE
It's your ill conceived boyfriend. Ok, I'm gonna go now and don't forget to set the alarm. Bye!

CICI
Hello Ted.

VOICE 
You wish it was Ted! Don't forget to set the alarm!

CICI drops the phone and immediately runs to set the alarm. She hears a door close upstairs while a dog barks from outside. CICI walks through the house slowly looking aronnd in fear. She grabs a door and flings it open, with nobody behind it. Suddenly, the phone rings again. Cici slowly picks it up.

CICI 
Hello?

A door bursts open with the killer lunging at Cici with a knife to her head as Cici ducks and runs up the stairs. She throws a potted plant on his head as she runs up the stais, she gets to the attic and pushes a bike in the killer's way, but he grabs Cici in time and pushes her through the balcony glass where the alarm goes off. Cici lies flat on the balcony as the killer takes his knife and stabs Cici twice in the back, then the killer picks up Cici...

CICI 
No!!! Please!!!!

The killer throws Cici off the balcony to the ground....

CICI
AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

A thump and Cici lies dead while the killer wipes off his bloody blade.

EXT. BACKYARD PATIO OF THE DELTA LAMBDA ZETA HOUSE

LOIS 
You see, Sidney. Alot of people think that sororities are all about giving blowjobs but it's not true.

MURPHY
No, we only promote safe, condom sex.

LOIS
It's really about family and tradition. Harmonica style is okay.

MURPHY
Oh, yeah.

RANDY 
Here are your martini's.

SIDNEY
About time. Yeah, well, you guys have given me a lot to think about. Thanks.

Sidney walks away to Derek, leaving Murphy and Lois totally clueless.

MICKEY
Hey babe, wanna dance?

HALLIE
Yeah, with that tall, broad shoulder one over there.

MICKEY
The Empire Strikes Back. Better story, improved effects.

RANDY
Not a sequel, part of a original planned trilogy.

HALLIE
Yeah, I like those little furry things.

MICKEY
The Ewoks, they blow.

DEREK
Hey, so are they being nice to you?

SIDNEY 
Painfully nice.

DEREK
I figure you won't be joing with the Delta-Lambda-Zetas.

Sirens sound in the background.

LOIS
Hey guys, something is up at Omega Beta Zeta, police are everywhere!

MURPHY 
Hurry!

All of the party guests begin to run out.

LOIS
I didn't mean to break up the party!

MURPHY
Shit, I should've brought my drink!

EXT. FRONT YARD OF OMEGA BETA ZETA HOUSE

DEBBIE
So, then it's obviously not suicide. Thank you. Gale, hi, it's not good, it's a single victim, a sorority girl. Look, I gotta go, I got a deadline.

GALE
Joel, let's go.

JOEL
In a minute.

GALE
It's happening again, is it?

DEWEY
You'd love that, wouldn't you? Better hurry Gale, you wouldn't want to get scooped.

GALE
Move it Joel!

JOEL
Gale, I don't think I am cut out for this. I mean, I was brought here to do an press conference coverage.

GALE
Do not fuck with me!

EXT. FRONT PORCH OF DELTA LAMBDA ZETA HOUSE

DEREK
Come on, get your jacket, let's get you home.

Sidney walks back in and grabs her jacket and puts it on when the phone begins to ring. Sidney heads out the door to Derek, when she turns back, wanting to answer the phone.

DEREK
You about ready?

SIDNEY
Almost.

Sidney picks up the phone.

SIDNEY
Hello?

VOICE
Hello Sidney, remember me?

SIDNEY
What do you want?

VOICE
I want you! It's showtime!

SIDNEY
Then why don't you show your face, you fucking coward!!

VOICE
My pleasure!

SIDNEY
Derek!

Sidney turns around to see the killer come after her as she pushes the killer out of the way as Derek comes running to the door. The killer lunges for Sidney but stabs through the door, nearly missing Derek. Sidney runs through house, doding the killer, she runs out of the patio door and runs smack dab into Derek.

DEREK
Are you ok?

SIDNEY 
Yeah! yeah!!

Derek runs into the house.

SIDNEY
No Derek, don't!!

DEWEY
Sidney!

SIDNEY
Dewey! The killer's inside, Derek ran after him.

Glass breaks and you hear Derek yell, Dewey runs inside. Dewey bursts the door open to find Derek on the floor with his arm badly. 

DEREK
Oh god!

SIDNEY 
Derek!

DEWEY
Where did he go?

DEREWK
That way!

DEWEY
Sidney, he's in here! 

Dewey runs in the direction that Derek pointed to and see Lois and Murphy standing outside, peering through the front door. 

MURPHY
Is everything ok?

Dewey runs back to Derek.

DEWEY
Here, apply pressure to it.

DEREK 
Ouch! Eww!!

Sidney stands in fear, mad that Derek has been hurt.

INT. HOSPITAL

OFFICER RICHARDS (walking with Mickey)
Thank you for your time. We'll be ready for you in a second Hallie.

HALLIE
Ok.

MICKEY
The men ask everything.

HALLIE
I'm gonna get some coffee, you wanna go with.

Mickey nods no.

HALLIE
You want some Sid?

Sidney nods no as Mickey sits down next to her.

MICKEY
How are you holding up, are you ok?

SIDNEY
Not at all. I knew that this coming, I knew that this wasn't over.

MICKEY
You are not alone.

SIDNEY
That poor girl.

MICKEY
Yeah, I know.

SIDNEY
You know, Derek could've been killed too.

MICKEY 
But he wasn't, he needs to realize that the 90's are no time to play hero. Why would anyone go back into that house?

INT. HOSPITAL EXAMINING ROOM

DEREK
So, that's when I ran back into and that's where I met up with the killer. He cut my arm and then ran away.

DOCTOR
You're lucky there's no nerve damage, you'll have to take it easy for a couple of days.

COP
He didn't struggle, nothing, I mean, you're lucky he didn't kill you.

DEWEY
Yeah, it's real convenient for everybody.

DEREK 
Excuse me.

DEWEY
Nothing, it's just a shame that the killer got away so easy.

DEREK
It's just a shame you got there too late, right after he ran away.

DEWEY
Yeah, it is.

Later that day, at the Windsor College police station.

CHIEF HARTLEY
We've got three victims. Maureen Evans, Phil Stevens, and Cici Cooper.

GALE
Is Cici the girl's real name?

CHIEF HARTLEY
Uh, no, it's Casey, Casey Cooper.

GALE 
As in Casey Becker?

CHIEF HARTLEY
Paron me?

GALE
She was a young victim at Woodsboro, as well as her boyfriend Steven Orth.

DEWEY
As in Phil Stevens.

GALE 
Maureen Evans, Maureen Prescott, that's Sidney's mother.

DEWEY
Looks like you got a copycat on your hands chief?

CHIEF HARTLEY
Jesus Christ.

DEWEY
What are you doing to protect Sidney?

CHIEF HARTLEY
Well, I've got my two best men watching her.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS

DEREK
Do these guys have to follow you around everywhere?

SIDNEY
Oh, they're attached at the hip.

DEREK
How am I ever gonna get you alone?

SIDNEY
To be honest Derek, it's probably in your best interest if, stay far away from me as possible.

DEREK
I hope that wasn't a cut remark that holds no subtext whatsoever.

SIDNEY
Derek, I'm being serious, this is serious. I mean, look at you, you already got hurt, I don't wanna see that happen again.

DEREK
I hope you don't things from the past and not trusting me.

SIDNEY
Like I said, I don't wanna see you get hurt.

DEREK
And I don't wanna see you get hurt.

EXT. POLICE STATION

CHIEF HARTLEY
Good luck Miss Weathers.

GALE
Alright, thanks.

CHIEF HARTLEY
Dewey.

DEWEY
Chief.

GALE
So I am heading down to emissions to do some legwork, you game?

DEWEY
I'm not here to write a book Miss Weathers, I'm here to help Sid.

GALE
I wanna help her too, and help myself. Come on Dewey, smile for me once, please!

DEWEY
I smile when I catch the killer.

DEBBIE
Gale, hi. So what's going on?

REPORTER
What about Sidney's father, has he been ruled out as a possible suspect?

DEBBIE
Well, he's currently out of the country on business, but doesn't that seem a little fishy?

GALE
I'm not here to do your job Ms. Salt!

DEBBIE
And what about this ex-cop Dewey Riley? It seems a little strange that he showed up.

REPORTER
Yeah, what's he doing here?

GALE
Look, Dewey's a good guy, unlike some of us.

DEBBIE
Well, if the killer is repeating Woodsboro, it may be that the killer is from Woodsboro, that's all.

INT. COLLEGE DINING HALL

MICKEY
Hey guys, do you think Sid would so an interview for my documentary?

HALLIE
Yeah, after she turns down Dateline, 20/20, Primetime, but for you, yeah!

MICKEY
Drop it! I was thinking of who the killer may be, have you guys gotten a good look at Randy lately?

DEREK
What?

MICKEY
I know that he's an innocent first time through, but he's a little off. You know?

HALLIE
Come on, Randy? The guy is harmless.

MICKEY
That's what they said about Dahmer.

DEREK
Drop it! What's up Sid?

SIDNEY
Hey.

MICKEY
How's it going? Where are the secret service guys?

SIDNEY
Uh, over there.

HALLIE
And which one is Kevin Costner?

SIDNEY
The one on the left is Officer Richards, he's a Gemini, divorced with two kids. The one on the right is Officer Andrews, a Capricorn, single, but I think he's gay.

HALLIE
Really?

SIDNEY
Mmmmmmmhmmmmm.

MICKEY
What's on your mind Derek?

DEREK
I woke up this morning with this feeling and so I (begins singing) just decided to myself, I'd hide it to myself.

HALLIE
What is he doing?

MICKEY
Uh, Top Gun, Tom Cruise, 1986

DEREK
"When you walked into the room, I think I love you, I think I love you, so what am I so afraid of, I'm afraid that I'm not sure of, a love there is no cure for. I think I love you, isn't that what life is made of, so it worries me to say, I've never felt this way."

Derek continues singing as the cafeteria is cheering while Sidney laughs.

DEREK
I want you to have this.

Derek gives Sidney his frat letters.

MICKEY
Hey, isn't that a big frat no no?

HALLIE
Oh, that's a big no no, you see, you're not supposed to give your letters to your girl, no shape, no form. The brothers are gonna kick his ass, but it's tradition.

MICKEY
It's tradition.

DEREK
I wanted you to have this for protection.

Sidney then kisses Derek.

INT. BASKIN ROBINS

INTERVIEWER ON TV
So, tell us about this part you're getting rave reviews for.

TORI SPELLING
Well, I play this girl named Sidney Prescott who finds out that her boyfriend is this psycho killer who also killed her mother the year before.

INTERVIEWER
So, what kind of research did you do for this part?

TORI SPELLING 
Well, I read the book....

RANDY
I cannot believe it, they get Tori Spelling to play Sid, and they cast Joe Blow nobody to play me. At least you get David Schwimmer. I get the guy who drove the stagecoach for one episode of Dr. Quinn.

INTERVIEWER
This is Tori Spelling in the new movie: STAB.

SIDNEY IN STAB
Billy, what are you doing here?

BILLY IN STAB
They let me go Sid, I didn't do it.

SIDNEY IN STAB
No, please.

BILLY IN STAB
Why won't you let me touch you?

SIDNEY IN STAB
Look, I've gone through a lot lately, ever since my mom died.

BILLY IN STAB
Sid, look, I think you need to just deal with that, move on. I mean when my mom left my dad, I accepted it, that's the way it is.

SIDNEY IN STAB
Yeah, your mom left town, she's not lying in a cemetary somewhere.

BILLY IN STAB
Stupid!

INTERVIEWER ON TV
Oooh! I love scary movies!

RANDY
I'll wait for video. Ok, let's get down to business, the way I see it, someone is out to make a sequel, you know, cash in on all of the movie murder hoopla, so it's our job to observe rules of a sequel. Number one, the body count is always bigger, number 2, the death scenes are always much more elaborate, more blood, more gore, carnage candy. Your core audience just expects it. And number three, never...

DEWEY
How do we find the killer Randy, that's what I want to know!

RANDY
Well, let's look at the suspects. There's Derek, the obvious boyfriend, hello Billy Loomis! His knife cut missed every major vein and artery and he pitied on Sid.

DEWEY
So you think it's Derek!

RANDY
Not so fast, let's assume if the killer or ers has half a brain, he's not a Nick at Nite rerun type of guy, he wants to break some new ground, so forget the boyfriend thing, it's tired. Who else do we got?

DEWEY
There's...

RANDY
Mickey, the freaky Tarantino film student. But if he is a suspect, so am I. So, let's move on.

DEWEY
Well, let's not move on. What if you are a suspect? 

RANDY
Well, if I'm a suspect, you're a suspect!

DEWEY
You've got a point, ok, let's move on to...

RANDY
Hallie.

DEWEY
Sid's roommate?

RANDY
Uh huh.

DEWEY
Typically, serial killers are white male.

RANDY
That's why it's perfect! It's sort of against the rules but not really. Mrs. Voorhies was a terrific serial killer, and there's always room for Candyman's daughter. She's sweet, she's bad for your teeth.

DEWEY
Come on Randy, these kids are your friends. Who do you think is the killer?

RANDY
How about Gale Weathers?

DEWEY
Gale?! A Killer?!

RANDY
Why not?

DEWEY
Well, she is vicious. 

RANDY
She's an opportunist. Isn't it conceivable she's planning her next book? That's what reporters do Dewey.

DEWEY
Nah, Gale's a lot of things, but Gale's no killer.

RANDY
Look, just cause you're sweet on her...

DEWEY
No, I'm not.

RANDY
Come on, this is me talking here, Randy, the unrequited love slave to Sidney Prescott, I know all about obsession and pain.

DEWEY
And you got your love scar to prove it.

RANDY 
And so do you, I mean, what's up with that limp cause you were stabbed in the back.

DEWEY
Severed nerve. Look, Gale's no killer.

RANDY
Ok, alright then, but if she's not a killer, she's a target.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS

GALE

GALE
What is it?!

JOEL
Look, grant it I should've read your book before I took this job, but I'm reading it now, and wooooo!!! I read what happened to your last cameraman, the guy got gutted. Now, if I would do what any other rational human would do, which is, get the fuck out of here!

GALE
First of all, he wasn't gutted, I made that up, his throat was slashed.

JOEL
Look, gutted, slashed, the guy ain't in the union no more!

GALE
This is national television, this could be a big chance for you. The story is monumental. Don't you want to be a part of that?

JOEL
Yeah, but I want to report the news, I don't want to be the news.

GALE
It's a job Joel, and like most jobs, it has its drawbacks. Come on, you're a professional cameraman, you've got to stay focused. I am counting on you, I cannot do this without you. Alright? Let's get some work done.

JOEL
Yeah, let's go get killed!

I do understand how difficult this is for you. But Sid, you can win, you're a fighter.

SIDNEY
Yeah, right, I'm  a fighter.

GUS
I don't believe you.

SIDNEY
I'm a fighter.

GUS 
I don't believe you, I don't.

SIDNEY
I'm a fighter.

GUS
The battle for the soul is from within, Cassandra is one of the many Greek tragic victims. You can do it Sidney.

Sidney looks at Gus with confidence.

GUS
There's no understudy, I'm desperate. Ok, clear the set, third act, one last time. Cue the music.

"Troy" music begins with men in Greek masks recite the following:

CAST
Oh be dredded holder,
lying in the opening depths of the ocean, 
and now stands, the victim Cassandra.

Sidney arises as Cassandra.

SIDNEY
No crime has god pusnished,
the scene continues.

As Sidney is taking across the scene, she begins to see the masked killer, as she runs from one corner of the stage to the next, Sidney eventually runs into what she thinks is the killer.

SIDNEY
Ahhhhhh!!!!!

GUS
Cut! Take five.

The scene stops, the actors look at Sidney in confusion. Sidney, embarassed, runs offstage.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS UNDER A TREE

GALE
So, let's just assume that the killer or killers are planning their next.. (Phone rings) Hello? I'll have to call you back.

DEWEY
Well, that doesn't make sense, Sidney wasn't killed in Woodsboro.

RANDY
Well, at least not for a lack of trying. The killer is trying to finish what was started.

GALE
Well, it was under her protection right? (Phonie rings) Hello? Tell Bob, I'll call him back!

DEWEY 
When did she start smoking?

RANDY
Ever since those nude pictures on the internet.

GALE
It was just my head, it was Jennifer Aniston's body! Look, there were more victims: Tatum, my cameraman, Himbry...

JOEL
Now hold up for a second there, I don't need to be hearing about some dead cameraman. Listen, I am a verb away from vacating these premises. I'm gonna get some coffee, doughnuts, prozac, see if I can find some crack, Special K of Malcolm X, and I'll be back when you all start talking about something more Saved by the Bellish.

DEWEY
He seems a little sense.

GALE
Don't worry about him! If the killer is trying to copycat, who's next?

DEWEY
I wouldn't copycat any killer, we all were involved in Woodsboro.

GALE
So what do you want to do about it bonehead? Just want to sit and see who drops next.

DEWEY
Well, I don't know (Gale's phone rings again) phonehead!

Gale's phone rings again.

RANDY
Gale's not here!

VOICE
I'm not interrupting anything am I? You three look deep in thought. Have you ever felt the a knife tear through flesh and scrape the bottom of the bone beneath? (Voice laughs devilishly).

RANDY
It's him.

DEWEY
Who?

RANDY
The killer, he can see us.

Gale, Dewey, and Randy arise to look around.

DEWEY
Just keep him on the phone.

RANDY
What do you want me to say?

DEWEY
I don't know, just keep him talking. Come on Gale.

Sorry.

RANDY
Why copycat two high school loser ass dickheads? Stu was pussy ass wet rag, and Billy Loomis, Billy Loomis, what the fuck?! What a rat looking homo repressed momma's boy! You wanna be one of the big boys, Manson, Bundy, OJ?

The killer grabs Randy from behind and pulls him into Gale's newsvan. The killer slams Randy against the back window, shattering the glass, while 3 unnoticing guys dance by with their boom box. The killer stabs Randy 4 times until Randy is dead. The killer gets out of the van and walks away.

DEWEY
Where's Randy?

GALE
Randy!

JOEL
What's going on? Hey, who broke my window?!!

Dewey opens the van door to see Randy's mutilated and bloody body as Gale screams for her life and Joel loses conciousness.

Sidney is sitting in the library in the computer lab.

SIDNEY
Did your computer just freeze?

You have an instant message, just him ALT M.

Sidney hits ALT M to reveal a disturbing message that reads:

Sidney stands up as the chair falls back and hits ALT M to get another instant message.

		The police can't save you.

Now's not a good time Cotton.

COTTON
Come on Sid, you sent me to prison for over a year, you can at least give me 5 minutes. Look, I was sitting at home, and guess who calls me out of the blue, but Diane Sawyer. 

SIDNEY
What?

COTTON
She says that if you agree to go on the air with your story, she'll give us the entire hour. Can you imagine, you, me and Diane Sawyer? We're talking Primetime here!

SIDNEY 
Cotton, I can't.

COTTON 
Look, it's not like we're getting paid here also with what I've got going the side with a 900 number. Look Sid, I understand that you don't like the press, I respect that but Sid, (Cotton laughs psychotically), it's Diane Sawyer! Hello! 

SIDNEY
Look, between the movie and the book, people know the truth. There's already been enough exposure. Why would you want anymore exposure?

COTTON 
Well, I don't know Sid, cause maybe I fucking deserve a little exosure! Come Sid, I mean, you drag my name through the mud, everyone thinks I am some kind  of psycho, and all I am asking is for one little fucking Diane Sawyer interview. Now, I don't think I am being unreasonable.

SIDNEY
I'm sorry Cotton, but no!

COTTON 
You're sorry, huh? You're sorry! Loveable and fucked up Sidney Prescott, everyone's favorite little victim! 

Cops handcuff Cotton when Cotton outbursts at Sidney in the library.

SIDNEY
It shouldn't have been Randy, it should've been me!

No, no.

SIDNEY
I should call his mother.

DEWEY
Sid, I already made that phone call. Are you alright?

SIDNEY
Stop treating me like glass Dewey, I'm not gonna break.

HALLIE
It's ok to break.

CHIEF HARTLEY
We're dealing with four murders here. You watch your mouth!

COTTON
The only thing you have me for is raising my voice in a public library.

OFFICER ANDREWS
And homicide isn't a serious crime?

COTTON
Might I remind you that I am an innocent man here! Don't you watch TV, Current Edition? That was a very insightful program which made it abundently clear that I am an innocent man, so until you see me standing over a dead body with a knife in my hand, you better treat me with the rights and privileges that every innocent citizen in this country has!

DEWEY 
What's going on?

CHIEF HARTLEY
We're letting him go. We have got nothing on him.

How are you holding up Gale? How does it feel to know that someone is watching and waiting?

GALE
Look local woman, I know that you hold me up as your career template and that it gives you some kind of charge to challenge, but give it a rest!

You're right, it was the wrong time, I'm sorry.

DEWEY
Is this just another brilliant Gale Weathers performance?

GALE
There are cameras here, I just wanna find this fucker! I really do.

DEWEY 
Me too. Can I give you a hand with this? What's in here?

GALE
Just some crowd footage that Joel shot. Hey, wait a minute. If the killer is watching and releshing every moment, then he'd be here on one of these tapes.

It's definitely worth a look.

Gale and Dewey unload the tapes, Dewey accidentally drops one of the tapes and as Gale and Dewey both go to pick up the tape, they bump heads.

GALE
Ouch!

DEWEY
I'm sorry. Are you ok?

GALE 
Yeah, ow.

Dewey and Gale grab the tap at the same time while they stare at each other for a minute. Dewey takes the tape and puts it into the VCR, he scans through the tape, seeing footage from the press conference, etc. Dewey stops in on an earlier argument he had with Gale.

GALE
You're cute when you're angry.

DEWEY
I was being rude. I was being rude and insensitive.

GALE
Hey Dewey, I'm sorry, hey, look I never meant to hurt you.

Dewey then grabs Gale and then kisses her passionately. A thump is then heard, as Gale and Dewey look up. Gale looks at a tape showing footage of Phil, Maureen, Cici, and Randy.

GALE 
Dewey!

DEWEY
Sorry.

GALE
That's not my footage.

Suddenly, the camera shows a live shot of Dewey and Gale as Dewey and Gale look around for the killer.

DEWEY
Look, up there!

GALE
No Dewey! Don't!

Dewey runs up into the control room to find the killer.

GALE
Dewey!

Dewey comes out of the room.

DEWEY
There's no one there.

The killer suddenly jumps up from behind Gale with a knife.

GALE
Ahhhhh!!!!!

Dewey runs after the killer after Gale dodges the killer's knife. Dewey runs downs down the steps as his limp causes him to tumble down the steps. Gale hits the killer with a phone as she runs out of the room and into a hall as she looks for the nearest door. She opens a door to a dark room with no light whatsoever. Gale turns the light where she realizes she is in a sound room. She looks over and the killer is in the other room looking for her. The killer opens the door to the room where Gale is and sees that Gale is gone but is hiding behind a dividing wall. As the killer searches for Gale, she sneaks from one dividing wall to the next. Gale escapes into another sound room where there is no lock on the door.

GALE
Fuck!

A door from the other sound room opens, Dewey looking for Gale. He sees her in the other room.

DEWEY
Gale! Gale!

Dewey goes up to the glass window and starts banging on the window for Gale's attention.

DEWEY
Gale!

Gale cannot hear him since she the room is soundproof. Dewey looks down and sees that his foot is in some leftover pizza on the floor. Dewey continues to bang on the window...

DEWEY
Gale!

Suddenly, the killer comes from behind as grabs Dewey. Dewey grabs the microphone.

DEWEY
Gale!!!!

Gale turns around to see Dewey being stabbed in the back several times as the killer slams Dewey against the glass window with blood as Dewey falls.

GALE 
No!!!!

Gale looks up to see the killer go to the door to the room where Gale is hiding. Gale pushes over a cabinet to block the door as the killer's bloody knife is being swinged everywhere. The killer grabs a stool from the other room and throws it at the glass window.

GALE
Ahh!! No!!

The stool cannot break the glass since the window is used with plexiglass. The killer bangs against the window.

GALE
Ahhhh!

Gale kneels down on the floor as she looks up and sees that the killer is gone.

HALLIE
So, where are you taking us?

OFFICER RICHARDS
If we tell you, we'd have to kill you!

OFFICER ANDREWS
Don't live, don't tell! AHHHHHH!!!

The killer jumps up from the front and breaks through the drivers side window, slitting Officer Andrews' throat.

SIDNEY and HALLIE
Ahhhhh!!!!!!

Officer Richards gets out of the car where the killer kicks him in the head and slams his head against the car while Sidney and Hallie are screaming while trying to get out of the car.  The killer comes through the front and pushes the very dead Officer Andrews out onto the street. Officer Richards jumps up with a gun in front of the car.

OFFICER RICHARDS
Get out of the car you fucker!

The killer slams the car into drive raming in the car into Officer Richards as it causes the cop to land onto the hood of the car. The killer drives the car into the side of a car where it crashes against a wall in the middle of a construction site. Officer Richards' face is mushed into the car windshield while he dies while clasping onto his gun. Sidney and Hallie come up while holding their heads. Sidney looks up front to see the killer still in the driver's seat, unconscious.

HALLIE
Do you think he is dead?

SIDNEY
I don't think so. He's still breathing.

Hallie sees Officer Richards.

HALLIE
Do you think he is dead?

SIDNEY
Oh god, I think so.

SIDNEY and HALLIE grab the door handles.

HALLIE
How are we supposed to get out?

SIDNEY
We're not, it's a cop car.

Sidney and Hallie bang on the windows trying anyway to get out.

SIDNEY
Look.

HALLIE
What?

Sidney sees a pole has put a hole in the fenced in area from the front to the back, as Sidney begins to yank the protective fence down.

SIDNEY 
Help me here!

HALLIE
Oh god Sid!

Sidney and Hallie yank the fence down successfully as Sidney crawls over to the front seat while the killer still sits unconscious. Sidney tries to get through the front passenger's door but has no luck.

SIDNEY
We're jammed up against a wall.

Sidney looks over at the killer as her hand goes to mask, ready to unmask the killer.

HALLIE
Oh my god! Sid!

Sidney's elbow grasps the steering wheel as the car's horn goes off as Sidney jumps back.

HALLIE
Oh my god! Don't do that again!!

Sidney yanks the front driver's seat door handle but is unable to open the door. 

SIDNEY
I'll have to go through the window.

Sidney climbs out through the window as she slowly gets out while she climbs over the unconscious killer.

HALLIE
Sid! Sid!

Sidney gets out successfully as she immediately tries to get Hallie out.

SIDNEY
I can't, it's locked, you'll have to go through the front.

HALLIE
Shit!

HALLIE climbs over the seat to the front.

HALLIE 
Oh god!

SIDNEY
Shhh, easy, easy. Good.

SIDNEY grabs Hallie as she climbs through the window and out the onto the street.

HALLIE
Come on Sid!

HALLIE and Sidney start running down the street.

SIDNEY
Hallie.

HALLIE
What?

SIDNEY
I wanna know who it is.

HALLIE
Oh no Sidney, come on!! Look, look, stupid people some back, smart people run. We're smart, so we should just get the fuck out of here!

SIDNEY
I'm sick of running Hallie! Besides, if we know who it is, it'll be over.

HALLIE
We can just get the police!

SIDNEY
Yeah, and when we come back, he'll be gone! I have to do it, it'll just take a minute. 

HALLIE
Oh Sidney, come back!! Sid! Shit!

Sidney runs back to the car where the killer is gone from the driver's seat.

SIDNEY
Oh shit!

HALLIE
What?!

SIDNEY 
He's gone!

HALLIE 
What?

The killer suddenly jumps from behind an alley where he grabs Hallie and stabs her repeatedly several times and Hallie falls dead.

SIDNEY 
Ahhhh!!!!

Sidney begins running as the killer starts running and suddenly stops.

INT. COLLEGE LECTURE BUILDING HALLWAY

GALE
Ahhhh!!!

COTTON 
Ahhh!!!

Gale looks at Cotton to see blood on his hands.

GALE 
Get away from me!

COTTON
No Gale, this isn't what it looks like. I found Dewey, I tried to help him. No please, wait Gale! Gale!

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS

GALE
Help me!!!!

DEBBIE
Curfew is still in effect....

GALE 
Give me the phone!

DEBBIE
Gale, I was in the middle of a story!

GALE
I got your god damn story! Operator, give me the police!!

DEBBIE
What's happening?!

GALE
Hello, the killer is Cotton Fucking Weary!!!!

DEBBIE
Cotton Weary?!?

INT. THEATRE

The music begins in the theatre  of the Greek production, while outside Sidney runs to the theatre.

SIDNEY 
Hello? Gus?! Hello?! Gus?!

Suddenly the music stops, as a spotlight shines on Sidney.

SIDNEY
Hello?

A set comes closing in on Sidney behind her as she decides to head offstage where the set closes down, trapping Sidney onstage. The spotlight goes from Sidney to Derek's shirt that is hanging up. Sidney looks around as lighting flashes where a hanging body drops behind Sidney.

SIDNEY
Ahhhhh!!!! Derek!

Derek is still tied up from the frat party, passed out from the alcohol.

SIDNEY 
Derek?!

Sidney slaps Derek to wake him up.

SIDNEY
Derek!

DEREK
Oh thank god Sidney, I thought I was gonna be up there until opening night.

SIDNEY
Oh shit, the killer is here. He killed Hallie, he's here.

DEREK
What are you talking about?

SIDNEY
The killer! He's here!

DEREK
Where?

VOICE
Right here!

Sidney turns around while Derek looks up to see the killer.

DEREK
Come on Sid, get me down!

VOICE
So, you think is your fest Sid? Don't ya know history repeats itself, huh Sid?

SIDNEY
Oh my god!

The killer pulls off his mask to reveal himself, IT'S MICKEY!!

SIDNEY
Mickey?!

MICKEY using VOICE CHANGER
Surprise Sid!

DEREK
What the hell?

MICKEY
Since Derek here disappeared on my ass, I've been alone all night. Thanks a lot partner!

SIDNEY
What? My god! Derek!

DEREK
No, no Sid!!

MICKEY
It's ok Derek, we got her!

DEREK
Sid, he's crazy, he's lying!!

MICKEY
What's the matter Derek? Think Sidney's experiencing a little deja vu?

DEREK
Sid, he's lying! Sid, untie me! Untie me!

MICKEY
Boyfriend, killer, boyfriend, killer, boyfriend, killer.

DEREK
No, I am gonna fucking kill you! You are dead! I am gonna fucking kill you, fucking kill you!!

Mickey shoots the gun at Derek, badly wounding Derek in the chest.

SIDNEY 
Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!! Derek!

DEREK
I would never ever hurt you.

Derek slowly dies.

SIDNEY
Derek? 

SIDNEY starts crying as she looks at Mickey with hatred.

MICKEY
You really should start using your trust issues Sid! I mean poor Derek here, such a nice boy! He was bright, funny, had a decent singing voice, and he was gonna be a doctor! This was the kind of guy you'd like to bring home to mom. If you had a mom!!

SIDNEY
Fuck you!!!!

MICKEY
Oh! So vulgar! You think Billy would've put up with that?

SIDNEY
Billy was a sick fuck just like you!

MICKEY
No, Billy was a sick fuck wanted to get away!! Mickey is a sick fuck who wants to get caught. You see Sid, I have it all planned out. I have my whole defense planned out. I'm gonna blame the movies. It's pretty cool, huh? It's never been done before. And wait till the trial, cause these days, it's all about the trial! Can't you see it Sid, the effects of cinema violence on Americans. I'll get Cochran or Dershovitz to represent me. Bob Dole on the witness stand in my defense. We'll hold a Christian coalition. It's air tight Sid!!

SIDNEY
You're a psychotic!

MICKEY
Yeah, well, shhhhhh!! That'll be our little secret. The was one thing that Billy was right, it's all about execution!

SIDNEY
Yeah? Well, you're forgetting one thing about Billy Loomis!

MICKEY
Yeah? What's that?

SIDNEY
I fucking killed him!

Sidney smacks Derek's frat letters across Mickey's face, causing him to drop the gun while Sidney kicks him.

SIDNEY
You piece of shit!

After a series of struggles, Mickey manages to retreive the gun against Sidney.

MICKEY
Sidney, you've got a Linda Hamilton thing going on there? No, it's nice, I like it.

Suddenly, Derek's tied up body goes flying up.

MICKEY
Now, who's doing that?! Could that be..... a mystery guest waiting in the wings?! Told you I had a partner Sid, surprise cameo just for you!

A door opens from backstage as Gale walks in.

SIDNEY
Gale.

Gale shakes her head no as Debbie comes walking in with a gun.

SIDNEY
Mrs. Loomis?

GALE
What?!

MICKEY
Billy's mother!! Nice surprise Sid, didn't see it coming, did ya?!

GALE
No, it can't be. I've seen pictures of you.

SIDNEY
Lose 60 pounds and a lot of work done.

DEBBIE
It's called a makeover, you should try it. Look a little tired yourself there Gale!

GALE
So, you two are in this together?

MICKEY
Yeah, well, I had to have financing. Tuition's expensive. Deb here, my backer, we met on the internet, psycho website, "Class of Knives."

DEBBIE
It's estimated that there are only 97 acting serial killers in the country today. So Mickey here was quite a find, definitely one on the way up, all he needed was a little guidance and nurturing.

SIDNEY
As only a mother could do.

MICKEY
Wait until the trial! It is gonna rock!!

DEBBIE
Oh Mickey, there's not going to be a trial!

DEBBIE shoots Mickey a few times as Mickey's gun fires hitting a running Gale in the stomach.

SIDNEY
Gale!

Gale falls offstage.

DEBBIE
Two birds, one stone. Talk about being rational! For Mickey, I don't blame the movies, my god. I'm very sane, my motive isn't as 90's as Mickey's, mine is just plain old revenge. You killed my son! And now I kill you, and I can't think of anything more rational.

SIDNEY
You're never gonna get away with this.

DEBBIE
Oh, of course I will. Everything is traceable back to Mickey, including the cop gun that he used to kill everyone. You see, let's say that you discovered Mickey was the killer and you got into a huge scuffle and you shot Mickey. Shot Mickey dead, but not before he got off on one shot at you. So, have I cleared up everything, does anyone have any questions? No, ok, besides, who gives a flying fuck! Let them go and track down the second supposed killer. Debbie Salt doesn't even exist.

SIDNEY
You're as crazy as your son was!

DEBBIE
What did you just say? Was that a negative remark about my son? About my Billy?

SIDNEY
No, Billy was fine, Billy was perfect, you did a bang up job Mrs. Loomis.

DEBBIE
Better watch what you say. Randy spoke poorly of Billy and I got a little knife happy. You know what I am sick of? I'm sick to death of people blaming the parents. That it all starts with the family! If you should blame someone, why don't you blame your mother! She's the one who stole my husband and my broke up my marriage, and then you took my son! You don't know what it is like to be a mother. To love him, and guide him..

SIDNEY 
And abandon him! Isn't Mickey supposed to be dead?!!

SIDNEY hits Debbie on the head with a beer bottle, as Sidney runs into the back door closing it as Debbie shoots. Sidney breaks an emergency glass for an axe as she starts hacking wires trying to get Debbie. Lights come crashing down, nealy missing Debbie as she rolls away.  Another hack, sends lights comes tumbling down as Debbie dodges again. Debbie decides to climb over the scenery to get to Sidney. Sidney hacks another wire as bricks come tumbling down on top of Debbie as she falls.

Sidney turns off all equipment and runs out as Debbie comes out at Sidney with a knife. After some struggles, Sidney nearly misses being stabbed when a gunshot fires.

COTTON
Don't you fucking move! God damn it!

SIDNEY
Thank god!

COTTON 
Look, I've had a very bad day and I would like to know what the fuck is going on here. Sidney?

SIDNEY
Cotton, meet Mrs. Loomis, Billy's mother, she's the killer!

COTTON 
Who's that?

SIDNEY
The other killer. Mickey.

COTTON 
Ok.

SIDNEY
Look Cotton.

COTTON 
Shutup! Oh, so hi! You're not Debbie Salt, huh, from The Post Telegraph?

DEBBIE
I could still help you Cotton.

COTTON
Uh uh uh uh.

DEBBIE
Come on, you don't need her, let me kill her! Then, you're all that's left, you're the star! She sent you to prison for over a year!!! Personally, I think that's quite poetic.

SIDNEY
No, Cotton, don't you listen to her!!

COTTON 
Woah! Ha ha! Woah! What a predicament you're in Sid. I mean, she does make a good point. I bet that Diane Sawyer interview is looking pretty good right now.

SIDNEY
Consider it done.

COTTON fires his gun.

SIDNEY 
Ahhhh!!!!!

Both Sidney and Debbie fall as Sidney coughs and gets up to look at Cotton.

COTTON
Woah. That was intense. Look Sid, you know I would never hurt you.

SIDNEY
Cotton, give me the gun.

COTTON
Ok, yeah, sure.

Sidney takes the gun and kneels down to see if Debbie is dead.

COTTON
Look Sid, maybe we should discuss about what went on here, get our stories straight....

A hand from below grabs Sidney's hand as Sidney and Cotton jump.

GALE
Could someone get me out here!

SIDNEY
Gale, are you alright?

GALE
Of course not, I've been shot. Ow!

COTTON
Give me your hand Gale, Jesus you scared the crap out of me. So, are there anymore down there? 

GALE
No.

COTTON 
Nothing like reporting from the trenches, huh Gale?

GALE
Shutup Cotton.

COTTON 
How bad is it?

GALE
Just bounced off my rib.

COTTON
Jesus Gale, you got more lives than a cat. 

GALE
Give me one of those. Is she dead?

SIDNEY
I don't know. They always come back, you know.

MICKEY suddenly jumps as Sidney and Gale shoot Mickey down dead.

COTTON
Woah!

SIDNEY then looks at Debbie and shoots her on the forehead. Gale and Cotton look at Sidney in amazement.

SIDNEY
Just in case.

SIDNEY drops the gun and walks away.

PARAMEDIC

GALE

Dewey mumbles as the paramedics put Dewey into the ambulance.

GALE
