Black Christmas Page #4

How f***ed up is it that

the only other house on this|street has power?

This one doesn't.

- (sighs)|- You okay?

(moans)

- Mel?|- Yeah?

You're a better sister to me|than my own sister.

Yeah, Dick Cheney's|a better sister to you

than your sister.

(weakly):
|You know what I mean.

Yeah, I know. Ew.

I love you, too, but, honey,

you're really, really smelly.

You need to take a shower.|Can you handle it?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. Come on.

(toilet flushing)

DANA:
|Oh, sh*t.

The main breaker's|underneath the house.

What? I'm not the totally|helpless daddy's girl

these b*tches|make me out to be.

Okay, then go outside|and turn the power on.

Are you high?

I'm not goin' outside.|It's freezing.

It'll take two seconds.

You know where the power is.

I'll keep looking for Clair.

Oh, fine.

Ow.

I'm gonna go put a trash can|by your bed, okay?

LAUREN:
|F***.

(water dripping)

You good, drunky?

Okay. No more drinking.

(groans)

Okay, trash can's|right here, okay?

(moans softly)

Merry f***in' Christmas.

(door closes)

(wind blowing)

Of course.

(rustling)

(rustling)

It's okay.

Up in Eve's closet,|I found this, and these.

Clair?

(gasps)

F*** you, Santa Claus.

(wind blowing)

(door creaking)

(wind whistling)

(sighs)

Eve, you crazy b*tch.

I can see your breath.

(squishing)

(eerie theme plays)

(door creaking)

(snow globe playing|''Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy'')

(playing ''Dance of|the Sugar Plum Fairy'')

(''Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy''|ring tone playing)

It must be Kyle.

What do I do?

Answer it.

(breathes deeply)

It says Dana's cell.

VOICE (imitating Dana):|Help!

(woman screaming)

Help me. Help me.

She's my family now.

(gasps)

- Dana?|- (gasps)

Dana, where are you?!

She went around back|to the fuse box.

Eve's car.

She never left.

Heather, we have|to find Dana first!

Sh*t.

Dana!

MELISSA:
The fuse box|is under the house!

Dana!

Kelli!

(panting)

Oh, my God.

Oh, and I can't open it!

Come on!

What's she doing,|sleeping in her car?

It's, like, zero degrees out.

(both scream)

(both gasping)

(screaming)

Holy f***!

(girls gasping)

He's out here.

What? What?

Damn it!

Sh*t. Sh*t.

Come on.

F***!

What's going on?

heavy caller traffic|because of the storm.

Hello?

Hello. Yes, yes.

(panting):
|A girl is... is dead.

Outside.

Yes!

Yes, I know her.

Her name is Eve Agnew.

And we're positive|that she's been murdered.

He's home.

MELISSA:
|No.

No, no, no, no, no, Ms. Mac.

Billy is dead.

And three other girls are...

Are missing. Missing.

Are missing.

We're the second house on the...

Right.

Alpha Kappa sorority.

Kelli Presley.

Wait, how long until...

What?!

No, no!

We think he's still outside!

Would you wait|around that long

after what I just told you?

Get your purse!

KELLI:
|Please, isn't there

anything that you...

Goddamn it!

The storm.

Pile-ups over 91.

Reservists can't make it out

because the streets|are all ice.

Trees have fallen, and they said|they can maybe,

maybe be here in two hours.

Well, we're all gonna be|out of here in two minutes.

Get your things.

- And what about Dana?|- We'll just go over

to the ADG house and get help.

No, they-they've all gone home|or-or skiing.

KELLI:
Okay, okay,|whose family lives the closest,

just-just call them.

Lauren, her mom lives in Boston.

Even if we could

reach them on their cell phone,

it would take four or five hours|before they got here.

Oh, sh*t, Lauren...

- Let's go.|- No.

We stay together.

We lock up the house...|we got the fireplace poker,

a ski pole or some sh*t,|and for the next two hours

not let each other|out of our sights.

No. We are driving|to the police station.

- In this weather?|- Even if they can't

do anything, at least|we will all be safe there.

Yeah, and we're not all here!

If we were, then I would go.

That's right.

Unless I see otherwise, I'm|believing that Clair is alive.

And "when" she comes back, it is|not gonna be to an empty house.

We are safer|sticking together.

All right, then get your coats.

Mel, come on, we're leaving!|Let's go!

I'm not leaving Lauren,|you b*tch!

We're sisters...

so act like it.

We'll get the police here|as soon as we can.

Let's go.

(wind blowing)

(door creaks)

(snorts, groans)

(Ms. Mac gasps)

Whoa!

We can't see the car.

Maybe from Lauren's room?

(panting)

(grunting)

(panting)

(closes door)

(grunts)|Open up, please, Mrs. Mac.

(Heather banging on window)

Oh, come on, you piece of sh*t.

Come on.

KELLI:
|They got the car started.

Go, go, go.

All right.

What are you doing?

Here you go.

What is that thing?

Are you kidding?

(groans)

(quietly):
|Privileged b*tch.

Frigid Southern princess.

Should we go check on them?

Let's go.|Stay with your friend.

(gasps)

(screaming in distance)

Kelli?

Kelli!

Oh, God.

Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

(heavy footsteps)

Go!

- Lauren, where's Mel?|- KELLI: Shut up.

- Where is Melissa?|- He'll hear you.

(footsteps)

(Kelli panting)

(beeping)

(slow footsteps)

(''Jingle Bells''|ring tone playing)

(''Jingle Bells'' continues)

(''Jingle Bells'' stops)

(yelling, grunting)

Oh, my God... Kyle!

LEIGH:
|Stop! It's me!

(grunting)

- No!|- (screams)

(screaming)

(yelling)

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!

There are two bodies|in the driveway.

- Maybe you did it!|- No!

Maybe you did that!

It wasn't... him.

How do you know?

(dialing)

(''Jingle Bells'' ring tone|playing)

(''Jingle Bells'' continues)

(wind howling)

(creaking footfalls)

(phone playing ''Dance|of the Sugar Plum Fairy'')

(whispering over phone):|Where's Agnes?

- (girl whimpering in background)|- What have you done... Billy?

She's my family now.

(creaking footfalls)

(snaps phone shut)

(whispers, panting):|He's in the attic...

and I hear|someone else.

(floorboards creaking)

(whispering):
|Hey, hey, no f***ing way.

Let's go.

Clair might be alive...|she might be up there.

No, Eve's not,|Heather's not, Ms. Mac...

I heard more than one voice|on those phone calls.

And I have searched|the whole house.

And I've seen under it.|Where else could he be?

Until I see that she's dead,|she is alive.

This is Billy f***ing Lenz|we're talking about here, okay?

He's probably listening to us|right now.
