Body Page #5

Synopsis: Holly, Cali and Mel, three girls celebrating the Christmas holidays at Mel's house the night before Christmas eve. Cali convinces them to go out and have some fun when the others feel like just going to bed (Cali's role as instigator of problems continues throughout the movie). The girls are led to a deserted mansion filled with expensive cars and booze (having been told it's Cali's uncles place). The plot is mostly based around the psychological mechanisms that can take hold when a stupid mistake ends up as a threat to a young persons future well-being and how normal morals can be overwhelmed by indulgent, half-baked ideas of self-preservation.

to be over right now.

He's gone.

We're still here.

That's all that matters.

He's really dead, isn't he?

I'm sorry, Holly.

I can't...

I can't throw it all away.

I can't.

Okay. So we're doing it.

Holly?

Yeah, we are.

F***ing b*tch!

Don't do it.

You guys, stop it!

- You think you can...

- Stop it!

Get the f*** off of me!

It's the same story,

just a little different.

We get to the house,

we f*** around for a minute.

Guy shows up, we freak.

Now here's where it changes.

He attacks Holly,

only not on the stairs this time,

in the sitting room.

So he's trying to rape her, but she gets away

for a second and knocks over the table.

So now she's on the ground.

He goes over to the table and then,

in the heat of the moment or whatever

he just starts bashing her over the head.

And that's where we come in

and we're like,

"That's our friend, you motherf***er."

So you attack him, and he drops

the thing, and I run in and grab it.

And before he can do

anything to you, I hit him.

And then I'm, like, in this

uncontrollable rage, you know?

So I just keep hitting him,

and I can't f***ing stop, right?

And that's why his neck is so f***ed up.

I just kept going.

"I don't know why I did it, sir.

I just saw my friend on the ground,

and I just saw that bastard,

and I just kept hitting him."

And that's how we get out of this.

You ready?

Yes.

Please, please.

Piece of sh*t, come on.

Please.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Cali, don't.

I have to.

You're making me do this.

Fine, then do it.

Get off me!

You should've just kept

your f***ing mouth shut!

Now, Mel, do it!

F***ing do it!

Mel!

What?

She was bad.

She was gonna kill me.

Mel, it's okay.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Everything's gonna be fine, Mel.

Mel. Mel, look at me.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Look at me.

So what now?

I'll do whatever you want.

Well, neither one of us

have to go to jail, Mel.

It was Cali's fault.

She brought us here, she killed him,

and now she's gone.

And that's the justice here.

That's what's right.

Maybe she had a point, too, you know.

It doesn't... doesn't just affect us.

It's our families.

Maybe the right thing to do here is lie.

Okay.

How?

She's a hero.

# Silent night #

- That's the story.

- # Holy night #

He pulled me into the room,

and he started to attack me,

ripping my shirt,

shoving his hand into my pants.

# All is calm #

That's when Cali came in

and saw what was happening.

# All is bright #

She started hitting him and he...

he snapped the leg off of this table,

and he hit her in the head.

He hit her hard.

So then we both jumped on him,

and he dropped it, and we picked it up.

And you hit him first.

You stopped after that,

but I grabbed it from you and kept going.

# Infant so tender and mild #

I was angry.

After a minute, we looked down.

- Cali wasn't breathing.

- # Sleep in heavenly peace #

She was gone.

So she died saving me.

She was my best friend,

and she died for me.

# Sleep in heavenly peace #

- And that's when we carried 911.

- Ready?

# Silent night #

# Holy night #

# All is calm #

# All is bright #

# Round yon virgin #

# Mother and child #

# Holy infant #

# So tender and mild #

# Sleep #

# In heavenly #

# Peace #

# Sleep in heavenly #

# Peace #

# Silent night #

# Holy night #

# Shepherds quake #

# At the sight #

# Glories stream #

# From heaven above #

# Heavenly hosts #

# Sing "Hallelujah" #

# Christ the Savior #

# Is born #

# Christ the Savior #

# Is born ##
