Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan Page #6

EVA:

(awkward)

My parents are open minded about that

sort of thing.

TAMARA:

My stepmom couldn't care less, but

Daddy would have a sh*t fit.

(lets it slip out)

He might even pay some attention to

me.

Tamara quickly puts up her veneer again, spotting

something.

TAMARA:

Gorgeous guy at ten o'clock. Look

sensual.

Both girls slip into instant sultry as a CREW MEMBER in

his mid-twenties passes them, wearing a tool belt. Very

masculine. He gives the girls a pleasant smile. Tamara

turns around to check out his back side.

TAMARA:

I think it's time for some

recreational activity, girl.

EVA:

Sounds good. I hear there's a

shuffleboard court on deck -- it might

be kinds cool...

TAMARA:

You're joking, right?

She wasn't, but Eva tries to act like she was. Tamara

walks on, Eva following.

INT. STATEROOM HALLWAY - NIGHT

as McCulloch steps from Rennie's room, looking very

worried. Wayne Webber passes by, his eye stuck in his

viewfinder. McCulloch yanks the camcorder away from his

face.

MCCULLOCH:

Have you seen my niece anywhere?

WAYNE:

Yeah, motivating downstairs, I think.

What's the problem, Mr. McCulloch?

MCCULLOCH:

Senior predictions started five

minutes ago and she hasn't shown up.

WAYNE:

Some of us don't want our futures

predicted.

MCCULLOCH:

In your case I'm sure that's true.

He brushes past Wayne angrily.

INT. SERVICE AREA - NIGHT

as Tamara drags Eva into a secluded service area, pulling

out her mirror, straw and baggie.

TAMARA:

The night time is the right time.

Tamara hands the straw to Eva.

EVA:

(nervous)

No thanks.

TAMARA:

What? Don't be a lightweight...this is

top dollar toot.

EVA:

It's not that, it's just that...

(beat)

It I get caught, I'll lose my science

scholarship and everything.

TAMARA:

You're talking to the prom queen,

Eva. Do you really think I'm going to

risk getting caught?

EVA:

(a pause)

I guess not.

TAMARA:

Do you realize how many people would

kill to be sitting here right now?

Come on, it's grad night. You've got

your whole life to be uptight.

Eva takes the straw.

STALKING POINT OF VIEW

as we move down the corridor, in and out of shadows,

hearing giggles from Tamara and Eva up ahead. Jason's

coming...

ANGLE - TAMARA AND EVA

as Eva takes a nosefull, sneezing badly.

TAMARA:

Is that unbelievable or what?

Tamara giggles, getting ready to tap out another line.

But the snickering stops upon the sound of APPROACHING

FOOTSTEPS. They both look up, every muscle tensing with

fear as:

RENNIE:

appears from the shadows, just as startled to see them.

It's not Jason at all. Rennie can't help noticing the

cocaine, trying hard to ignore it.

TAMARA:

Jesus, you scared the hell out of us.

RENNIE:

Have you seen my dog? I think he came

this way.

TAMARA:

No, we haven't.

(awkwardly)

Care for a hit?

RENNIE:

No thanks.

Rennie continues on. After she's gone...

TAMARA:

A real space cadet. I wonder if she'll

narc on us...

EVA:

I have her in Creative Writing and

she's fairly nice.

TAMARA:

Nobody related to McCulloch can be

nice.

Tamara puts the straw to her nose.

ANGLE - RENNIE

as she presses on, the corridor getting darker.

RENNIE:

Toby?

No reply. She walks on, turning down the left hallway...

but camera turns down the right hallway. Suddenly JASON

REVEALS HIMSELF, quietly stepping from the GAME ROOM.

He's holding a pool cue, which he proceeds to snap in

half, providing a splintery sharp shaft.

INT. SERVICE AREA - SAME TIME

as Tamara finishes off her line, wiping her nose with a

sniffle.

TAMARA:

Oh yeah. Ready to party and then some.

She rolls up her baggie, stuffing it into her purse.

STALKING POINT OF VIEW

as we come down a corridor, turning into the Service

Area, stomping right up to Tamara and Eva. They both

GASP; Tamara drops her mirror, which SHATTERS on the

ground.

REVERSE ANGLE:

They are facing McCulloch.

MCCULLOCH:

What are you doing in here?

TAMARA:

Nothing.

He eyes the broken mirror. He wasn't born yesterday.

MCCULLOCH:

Are you girls using drugs?

EVA:

Do you think I would use drugs, Mr.

McCulloch? We were just exploring the

ship.

He doesn't want to believe Eva is a druggie. But Tamara

is a different matter. He levels his eyes on her.

MCCULLOCH:

I'11 be coming around your stateroom

in exactly fifteen minutes, Miss

Mason. You'd better have your biology

project ready or I'm phoning your

parents.

TAMARA:

They're out of town.

MCCULLOCH:

Then I'll make sure you remain on

board while your classmates see the

sights.

He's gotten to her with that one. McCulloch storms away.

EVA:

What are you going to do?

TAMARA:

Relax, I've got McCulloch covered...

but that little narcing b*tch niece of

his is a different matter.

(calculating)

Rumor has it she's a teensy bit afraid

of the water...

SPLASH!

as a body pierces the surface of the deck swimming pool.

It's MILES, having just completed a dive from the high

board. Miss Van Deusen and several others stand at

poolside, giving him some applause.

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

Poetry in motion, Miles.

MILES:

A half-twist short. I'll hone that

dive yet.

He swims to the side, leading us to a view of Rennie.

She's very cautious about getting too close to the pool

edge as she approaches Miss Van Deusen.

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

Rennie -- I was just on my way over to

your room

RENNIE:

Have you seen my dog anywhere?

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

No, but I'm sure Toby's fine. The

ship's only so big and there's

certainly no way off it, is there?

She smiles reassuringly, but her words are less than

comforting.

INT. SHIP CORRIDOR - TRACKING WITH TOBY - SAME TIME

as the canine continues to sniff out Jason through the

maze of corridors. TRACK with the dog as he slows his

pace, knowing he's getting close to something.

TOBY'S POINT OF VIEW (STEADICAM)

Low to the ground, creeping past a steam vent which

obscures his vision, then turning down a metal staircase,

weaving into another passageway. Then with absolutely no

warning, A BODY FALLS FROM ABOVE, THUDDING DIRECTLY IN

FRONT OF US.

TOBY:

rears back with teeth bared, but:

THE BODY:

is quite dead:
Toby is snarling at the corpse of the

TEENAGE BOXER who lost his bout against Julius. He's

still in his boxing shorts...BUT JASON'S SPLINTERY POOL

CUE HAS BEEN STABBED THROUGH HIS CHEST.

EXT. DECK POOL - ON RENNIE AND MISS VAN DEUSEN

as they walk along the edge of the pool.

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

So, are you having fun yet?

RENNIE:

(lying)

Yeah...a lot.

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

I seem to detect a hint of

ingenuousness in your tone.

(beat)

In other words, level with me.

RENNIE:

(a pause)

There's something I haven't told

you...

...But before she can begin the next sentence, Rennie is

shoved from behind.

WATER ANGLE:

as she SPLASHES INTO THE POOL'S DEEP END.

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

spins around, seeing Tamara standing there with Eva.

TAMARA:

Wow, sorry...

RENNIE:

flounders at the surface, nobody realizing the terror

she's experiencing. She's too scared to even cry for

help.

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

isn't looking at Rennie, her attention on admonishing

Tamara.
