SANDY:

Aw.

SANDY likes STEVE and enjoys flirting with him.

STEVE:

I have six new counsellor up there.

They're all babes in the woods in every

sense of the word.

SANDY:

They'll be okay if they know enough to

stay in outta the rain.

How much do I owe you?

SANDY:

One night on the town.

STEVE:

I mean...

SANDY:

...I know what you mean. Two and a

quarter. Plus fifteen percent tip to

make up for me spending the night alone.

STEVE pays up and walks to the cash register.

SANDY:

(continuing)

You got a roof for that Jeep?

She rings up the money. Gives him his change. He hands her a

tip.

STEVE:

Yeah. I got it on before this--

(indicates the storm outside)

--all started.

SANDY:

That's thirty percent.

STEVE:

For two lonely nights.

She smiles and is really kind of pretty underneath all that

extra makeup.

SANDY:

Drive careful and don't drownd your dumb

self.

STEVE smiles and leaves. She watches, then counts her changes

and sticks it her pocket with the rest of her tips for the day.

CUT TO:

77 EXT. DINER - NIGHT

The rain continues as STEVE exits the diner, gets in his Jeep

and starts it up. He roars off through a big puddle, splashing

water towards the CAMERA. The Jeep pulls a small equipment

trailer.

CUT TO:

78 EXT. HIGHWAY - NIGHT

The Jeep plows through the rain, leaving the town lights

behind. A sign off to the side reads:

CRYSTAL LAKE 45 Mi.

CUT TO:

79 EXT. MAIN CABIN - NIGHT

PROWLER'S POV:
From outside the cabin, we can see some

activity in the big meeting room. The CAMERA moves slightly

from left to right as the shot is established. Then an unseen

hand releases a branch which partially blocks the shot.

CUT TO:

80 INT. BIG MEETING ROOM - NIGHT

ALICE enters from the kitchen, carrying two cups of coffee.

She hands one to BRENDA, who is curled up on the couch in front

of the fire. BILL stands to the left of the hearth, picks up

a couple of pieces of dry woods and puts them on to burn.

BRENDA:

You think they fell asleep?

BILL:

Anything's possible. My parents taught

me to leave sleeping lovers alone.

ALICE:

It wouldn't matter except Steve should be

getting back pretty soon. It wouldn't

look so great if he fell over them.

BILL:

Good point.

ALICE:

Well, it hasn't been that long.

BRENDA smiles.

BRENDA:

Long enough for me.

They laugh.

ALICE:

I think we should go wake them up. Just

in case.

BRENDA:

Give them a little while longer. It's

still early, anyway.

ALICE:

I guess...

CUT TO:

81 EXT. RURAL ROAD - NIGHT

The rain is very heavy. Steve's Jeep drives past the CAMERA.

The tires squish in the muddy roadway.

CUT TO:

82 INT. STEVE'S JEEP - NIGHT

Lighted by dash panel, STEVE tries to concentrate on seeing the

road. He leans forward, rubs a cloth on the windshield to get

rid of the condensation.

From his POV we watch the windshield wipers struggle to stay

ahead of the rain. Beyond them the headlights make a slight

dent in the night.

In the BG we hear a country station on the radio, but it is

bringing in more static than music, owing to the electrical

storm.

STEVE's hand reaches in and shuts off the radio.

CUT TO:

83 INT. BIG MEETING ROOM - NIGHT

ALICE has finished her coffee. BILL enters, shakes the rain

off his poncho and stamps his feet.

BILL:

Got to it just in time. The generator

was running on fumes. I filled it up.

That should keep it humming until Steve

gets back.

BRENDA gets up.

BRENDA:

Good night, Alice.

ALICE:

Good night, Brenda.

BRENDA takes her lantern, and, throwing the slicker over her

head like a portable tent, she races off into the night.

ALICE watches her go. A glimmer of lightning outlines her as

she heads off.

BILL walks back into the big room, followed by ALICE.

BILL:

Help you clean up?

ALICE:

Absolutely.

She walks with him as he carries the tray of empty coffee cups

into the kitchen.

CUT TO:

84 INT. CAMP BATHROOM - NIGHT

The door opens and BRENDA comes in with her lantern and

slicker. Her actions are direct and business-like.

BRENDA goes first to the row of sinks and looked at herself in

the mirror, holding up a propane Coleman lantern like an

examination lamp. She takes out a toothbrush and some other

toilet articles.

She flips on both faucets and nothing comes out. She put her

lantern down on the floor and turns on the water valves. She

stands up, and washes her hands and face.
