MARCIE:

Best over...

JACK:

Umhummmmph.

MARCIE:

Like waves. It's never been likes waves

before.

JACK:

Whassamatta?

MARCIE:

Gotta pee. You're lying on my bladder.

She rolls over and grabs her underpants and t-shirt. While

still on the bottom bunk, she puts herself into her limited

clothing. JACK gives her room.

MARCIE:

(dressing)

I know this ain't very romantic, but

what can I say? I don't want to explode.

She grabs a flashlight, scoots to the door and is gone.

JACK lies back and puts his hands under his hand.

CUT TO:

71 EXT. CAMP GROUNDS - NIGHT

MARCIE runs across the now-wet central area towards the

bathroom facility. She tries to skip between the raindrops,

but she knows she'll get a drenching.

CUT TO:

72 INT. BOY'S CABIN - NIGHT

JACK rolls to his side, picks up a small hand-rolled cigarette

and lights it. He inhales deeply, rolls on his back.

Something overhead catches his eye.

Across the way from the row of toilet stalls is a row of shower

stalls, and further down is a row of several sinks and mirrors.

We hear the toilet flush.

We CUT INSIDE the toilet booth as MARCIE stands reading the

graffiti to herself. We can only see her from the chest up.

MARCIE:

(reading)

"Forty yards to the outhouse by Willie

Makit." "The Yellow Stream by I.P.

Daley." Not the most original stuff,

kids.

There is a noise outside the stall.

MARCIE:

(continuing)

Jack?

She hears no response and assumes that her imagination is

playing tricks with her. MARCIE picks up the flashlight and

exits the stall.

73 MARCIE crosses to the row of sinks, stops, puts the

flashlight down and turns on the water faucet. There is

no water.

CUT TO:

PROWLER'S POV:
of MARCIE.

From the end of the row of showers, we watch MARCIE bend under

the sink and turn on one of the spigots. Water rushes into the

sink.

74 MCU MARCIE: She rinses her hands, shakes them dry and

turns off the water. Again she hears a noise. She looks

to the row of showers and smiles.

MARCIE:

Jack?

The screen door to the shower room is swinging open and shut.

MARCIE looks over, smiles. She thinks someone is trying to

scare her.

MARCIE:

(continuing)

Jack? Neddy? Don't put me on.

There is a dripping sound. MARCIE stops at the first shower,

hesitates.

Throws back the first curtain. There is no one there. She

reaches in and makes sure the spigot is really off.

She goes to the second shower, looks over her shoulder to the

empty toilet. Then reaches in to the shower curtain.

MARCIE:

(continuing)

Allee allee infree!

She throws back the curtain. Again no one is there.

She breathes a sigh of disappointment.

MARCIE:

(continuing)

Must be my imagination.

In CU she turns back toward the sink area when suddenly the

TRACK explodes with a MUSICAL STINGER. It happens in a flash.

A shape lunges from the toilet booth across from the first

shower. A hatchet glints. MARCIE screams. The hatchet

strikes. The flashlight clatters to the floor.

CUT TO:

75 EXT. DINER - NIGHT

The sound of a cash register ringing up a sale hangs over an

establishing shot of the diner. Through the window, which are

being pelted with rain, we can see a WAITRESS and some CUSTOMERS

seated on stools at the counter.

CUT TO:

76 INT. DINER - NIGHT

The WAITRESS is different from the morning woman, slightly

older, but still attractive. She says good night to her

CUSTOMER, who finishes paying his bill and crosses down the

counter. Seated there is STEVE CHRISTY, finishing his cup of

coffee. The waitress, SANDY, picks up his empty pie plate and

tosses it in a pan of other dirty dishes.

SANDY:

Anything else you want?

STEVE:

No, thanks. I'm fine. Sandy.

SANDY:

You can't go back there tonight. Not in

that stuff. 'Less you wanta get drownded.

STEVE:

(drinking quickly)

I got to.
