Friday the 13th Page #10

BILL sees it. He freezes, then takes a step forward.

Carefully, he winds up and smashes down with the edge of the

machete, cutting the snake into two pieces. Blood spurts onto

the floor.

MARCIE and JACK enter. JACK carries a shovel as a weapon.

MARCIE stops when she sees the embrace, but then looks further

to see the blood and guts.

MARCIE:

Steve never mentioned serpents. Jack,

would you get some paper towels?

JACK nods and exits.

ALICE:

How the... did he get in there?

BILL:

Slipped in. Probably liked the scent of

your perfume.

JACK return and tosses a roll to MARCIE.

MARCIE:

Thanks.

BILL:

You okay now?

ALICE nods.

BILL gives her an extra hug. Then steps back awkwardly,

stepping on MARCIE's big toe.

MARCIE:

Go ahead. I walk on 'em all the time.

(to JACK)

Would you shovel Mr. Snake outta here?

JACK nods. He picks up his shovel and we see in CU as he gets

underneath the wide-fanged snake.

MARCIE begins to clean the blood off the floor with the paper

toweling.

CUT TO:

59 EXT. CAMP - LATE AFTERNOON

Looking across the lake, we can see the camp, nestled in among

the late afternoon rays of the sun. We can hear the sounds of

the nocturnal animals beginning to rise and hunt.

CUT TO:

60 INT. CAMP KITCHEN - LATE AFTERNOON

The kitchen and the main meeting room are really one in the

same room, cut off by a partition. The kitchen has a couple of

sinks, a heavy old stove, long shelves, a pantry/larder, and

some windows which look out on the rear.

BRENDA is making a salad for herself. She is a vegetarian.

MARCIE is making a guacamole dip.

In the big room there is a fireplace and a ping pong table.

JACK and BILL are playing.

BRENDA JACK

She all right? Get ready for the schneider.

MARCIE BILL

Yeah. Scared the hell out No chance.

of her.

JACK:

BRENDA Four zip.

How'd it get in the drawer?

ALICE walks into the kitchen. She has washed her face after

getting her act together. She stands in the doorway to the

kitchen.

MARCIE:

How you doin'?

ALICE:

Okay. Can I help?

BRENDA:

It's catch as catch can. I'm making a

salad. The guys are planning to cook

greaseburgers for themselves.

MARCIE:

There's a lot of dishes if you just want

something to do.

ALICE smiles. Nods.

ALICE:

The way I feel, that's perfect.

ALICE goes to the sink and begins to work her way through the

dirty dish pan.

NED comes flying through the door dressed in various bits and

pieces of old Indian costumery. He does a bad dance.

JACK and BILL quit their game and come to the doorway.

JACK BILL

What the hell? Where'd you get that stuff?

MARCIE BRENDA

Oh, Lord! Neddy!

JACK:

It's gonna be a long summer.

NED:

Wait, wait! When I was finding these

goodies in the shed. I also found this

letter which a camper never sent home.

Listen.

He takes a letter out of his breechclout. He pretends to read,

when really we can see that the paper is blank.

NED:

(improvising)

Dear Mom and Dad, Camp Blood is real fine

except for the strange man who flies at

night and sucks our counsellor's body...

ALICE leans against the sink and laughs. She is a very pretty

girl, younger than she first appeared.

NED:

(continuing)

And, Mommy, we really love our counsellor.

He says that whenever I'm scared, I can

sleep in his bunk with him.

JACK and BILL laugh.

NED takes off his headdress.

NED:

(continuing)

No wonder they lost America. How could

you sneak around in the bushes wearing

that? What's to eat?

BRENDA:

Whatever you make yourself.

ALICE looks up from her dishes and c*cks her head to the side.

Does she sees something?

The CAMERA PANS SLOWLY to look over her shoulder.

The window pane is dirty and it's a bit difficult to see, but

there is something standing there out by a cabin. But it

stands, doesn't move... Is it a building?

CUT AWAY to see ALICE using her dishcloth to clear the glass.

When we CUT BACK, the shape is gone.

REACTION SHOT:
ALICE. Curious. A cold chill...

ALICE looks around at the others who are still adlibbing about

food.

BRENDA JACK

How can you eat that stuff? You like them rare?

Looks like dead animals.

BILL:

NED Too bad that Annie never

Cannibals. It's old showed. She was supposed

counsellor. to be a good cook.

BRENDA MARCIE

You can get all the protein No way I am gonna play chef

you need if you mix them to all of you guys. It's

right. women's lib from here on

out.

NED:

The squaws are revolting!

ALICE looks up. Pulls the light cord in the middle of the room.

The bulb does not light.

ALICE pulls it again.

BILL:

Trouble?

ALICE:

Bad bulb or no power. It's getting a

little gloomy in here.

JACK:

Steve taught me how to use the emergency

generator. The town power lines are

supposed to be real shitty.
