KENNY:

Alright, Marliston, I know she's here.

LEONARD:

What are you talking about? No one here

but us chickens.

INT. BASEMENT

Jody cuts through her dad's ropes. Her dad immediately takes Jody's gag

off.

INT. LIVING ROOM

Kenny heads out the door.

JODY(O.C.)

Help!

Kenny hears the cry and turns around.

KENNY:

That was Jody!

Leonard says nothing. He just stares at Kenny.

JODY(O.C.)

Somebody help!

Kenny heads toward the basement door to investigate. Brent starts kicking

on the other side of the locked door.

KENNY:

Jody?!

Leonard moves towards Kenny with the razor. Kenny turns just in time. He

grabs Leonard's arm as Leonard tries to slit his throat. They struggle.

The door lock starts to shake as Brent continues to kick the door open

from the other side.

Leonard picks up a lamp with his free hand and smashes Kenny across the

head. Kenny falls to the ground.

The door pops open. Brent charges out. Leonard turns to him and slashes

him across the chest as Brent sprays red paint in Leonard's eyes. Leonard

screams, and lunges at Brent.

Brent grabs Leonard. Using every ounce of energy he has, he throws Leonard

down the basement stairs.

Leonard grabs Brent as he tumbles down the stairs. The two roll to the

bottom, smashing their heads along the way. As they come to a stop, Brent

smashes his head hard on the floor. Leonard ends up on top of him. He

raises the razor and slits Brent across the face.

BRENT:

Jody run!

Jody crawls up the stairs, dragging her bad leg.

Instinctually, Brent hangs on to Leonard, as Leonard tries to get to Jody.

Leonard slashes Brent across the face again.

JODY:

No!

BRENT:

(dying)

Run!

Jody crawls to the top of the stairs. Leonard does everything he can to

get away from Brent but Brent hangs on. Jody watches, horrified, at the

top of the stair. Kenny appears at the top of the stairs and pulls Jody

away from the gruesome sight as Leonard continues to slash Brent's body

open. Brent rolls over, a bloody mess.

INT. TOP OF STAIRS

Kenny slams the door shut as Leonard charges up the stairs. Kenny holds

the door shut with all his might.

JODY:

My dad's down there!

KENNY:

He's dead! We've got to

get the f*** out of here!

Kenny pushes a dresser in front of it, trapping Leonard.

JODY:

I can't walk. I think he cut right

through a tendon.

Leonard's car squeals around the corner behind them.

JODY:

F***! It's him.

INT. CAR

Leonard steps on the gas.

EXT. STREET

Kenny peddles as fast as he can, going up onto the sidewalk but that

doesn't stop Leonard. He comes screeching up on the sidewalk right behind

Kenny, ready to run him over.

Kenny tears up onto a lawn, Leonard follows him, grass spewing up

everywhere.

Kenny cuts hard between two trees and back onto the street. He heads onto

the other sidewalk. LEONARD remains in pursuit, knocking into several

cars, flattening several fences, and mutilating a cat along the way.

Leonard gains on them as they zigzag up and down the pristine street,

destroying it.

Leonard pulls up right behind them. He hits the gas. Kenny has to turn

door towards them, barking and snarling.

KENNY:

Sh*t.

Kenny helps Jody over the fence, then leaps up on it just as the German

Shepard snaps at

him.

He jumps down on the other side, safe.

The German Shepard smells something else and tears away.

EXT. FRONT OF HOUSE

Leonard gets out of his car and takes a step toward the house when the

German Shepard comes charging out the open fence. Leonard screams. The

dog pounces on him, starts humping his leg. Leonard rolls his eyes. The

dog thrusts away.

CLOSE ON THE RAZOR. Leonard raises the razor, contemplates, then rolls his

eyes. He pushes the dog off of him. It lets out a panted growl, almost

like it's saying 'going so soon lover boy?' Leonard hops back in his car,

speeds off down the street. The dog barks wildly up at the night sky. Talk

about being left with a hard-on.

EXT. PARTY HOUSE

The house is dark. The lights are all out.

EXT. ROAD

The deputy checks his watch. A policeman comes running up.

POLICEMAN:

We just found another body.

DEPUTY:

Who's?

POLICEMAN:

Tom Sisler. He was murdered at school.

Two kids went into his office to f*** and

they found him, with his tongue cut out and

his foot jammed into his mouth. Killer also

chopped off his pecker and stuffed it in his

pencil holder.

DEPUTY:

Jesus. Any word from Brent?

POLICEMAN:

Nope. The switchboard is lightning up downtown.

Kids from other towns are starting to congregate

in the parks and at the high school. It's turning

into WOODSTOCK except there's no concert.

DEPUTY:

Call Brent on the horn. See where he is. What

he wants us to do. I'll head over to the school.

POLICEMAN:

Ok.

The deputy jumps into his car.

DEPUTY:

Don't leave this party until you

hear from me.

The policeman looks up at the house.
