I Spit on Your Grave Page #18

JOHNNY:

No... no. We don't breathe a word

of this.

(points to them both)

Not a damn word. Sheriff gets wind

of this, we'll all be having

"hunting accidents": We clear?

Johnny slaps Stanley in the head again for good measure.

JOHNNY (CONT'D)

in the meantime, find that little

shitwhit Matthew. Me and him are

gonna have a talk.

66 INT. JOHNNY'S HOUSE - NIGHT 66

Johnny reclines on his couch, watching TV. One hand is down

his pants and the other holds a bottle of whisky.

Suddenly, there's a CRASH at his front door. Johnny looks up

and puts down the bottle, not overly concerned.

JOHNNY:

Hello?

No answer at the door. Johnny groans and gets off the couch,

annoyed at being disturbed. He walks over to the front door

and yanks it open.

The front porch is empty. Just as he's about to close the

door, he glances down. There's a dead bird on the stoop.

Johnny narrows his eyes and looks out into the night. Then

he closes the door and returns to the couch.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 64.

But as soon as he picks up the bottle, there's another CRASH

at the front door. Johnny, now pissed, races to the front

door and swings it open.

A second dead bird has joined the first. Without closing the

door, Johnny backs up into his house.

A few seconds later, he returns to the front door, pistol in

hand. He steps out onto the porch.

67 EXT. JOHNNY'S HOUSE, BACK PORCH - NIGHT 67

Johnny holds the gun in front of him. He pivots slowly from

side to side, scanning the entire property. No more birds.

In fact, nothing at all. Dead silence.

JOHNNY:

(THREATENING)

Who's out there?!

No answer.

JOHNNY (CONT'D)

Sh*t ain't funny f***ers!!! See

how funny a bullet in your ass is!

When there's still no response -- Johnny finally backs up

into the house and closes the door.

68 INT. JOHNNY'S HOUSE - NIGHT 68

Again, back to the couch. And again, the second his ass hits

the cushion, another CRASH.

JOHNNY:

Got dammit!

This time, Johnny races to the door and yanks it open,

cocking the gun on the way and fires into the night.

69 EXT. JOHNNY'S HOUSE, BACK PORCH - NIGHT 69

Johnny causally looks down - but this time it's not a bird.

It's a shoe... Jennifer's shoe.

Johnny bends down and picks it up. He studies it. Frowns.

Someone's gone too far. Then he hears something scurry off

in-the distance.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 64A.

Quickly Johnny gives chase - leaping off his porch and racing

in the direction of the sound.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 65.

Johnny stops, listens, and waits. Nothing but silence. He

turns around in all directions.

Johnny spits and turns around to walk back and as he does, he

notices one of Matthew's colored RUBBER BANDS lying in the

mud.

JOHNNY:

(UNDER BREATH)

Son of a b*tch.

70 INT. SHERIFF STARCH'S HOUSE - DAY 70

Sheriff Storch enters, holding a bouquet of flowers. He

closes the door behind him and walks in.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Helen?

Within seconds, Mrs. Storch materializes, apron on and wiping

her hands on a dish towel.

MRS. STORCH

Oh, they're beautiful...

Sheriff Storch walks over and gives her a kiss on the cheek.

SHERIFF STORCH:

I've been --

MRS. STORCH

No need to explain. You just

buried your close friend. And you

haven't taken a single day off.

You're only human.

SHERIFF STORCH:

I guess.

MRS. STORCH

Hey, maybe you can help me while I

put these in water.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Help with what?

MRS. STORCH

We got this tape delivered it don't

fit our machine.

SHERIFF STORCH:

What tape?

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 66.

Mrs. Storch scurries over to the coffee table, grabs the

MINIDV tape and hands it to him.

MRS. STORCH

it came this morning...

But as Storch looks over the tape, the color, the markings...

no, it couldn't be, he smashed that tape.

MRS. STORCH (CONT'D)

I think it might be Chastity's

recital.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Did Chastity see this?

MRS. STORCH

No, like I said, we couldn't get it

to play.

SHERIFF STORCH:

Where is she?

MRS. STORCH

Sleeping, why?

Storch wipes his face with his hand, then shoves the tape

into his shirt pocket.

SHERIFF STORCH:

I'll... I'll be back...

Sheriff Storch quickly turns away from his wife and hurries

out the door.

Mrs. Storch stands at the door and watches with growing

curiosity as the cruiser peels out of the driveway, a cloud

of dust in its wake.

71 EXT. JOHNNY'S HOUSE - DAY 71

Andy and Stanley pull up and get out of the truck as Johnny's

been pacing.

ANDY:

So what's all this about, Johnny?

Johnny takes out Jennifer's shoe and throws it at them. They

both dodge a hit and look at the shoe on the ground.

ISOYG PINK 10/29/09 66A.

STANLEY:

(TERRIFIED)

Where'd you get that?
