I Still Know What You Did Last Summer Page #2

He clambers into the front seat. He thinks. Then, digs into his pocket

and pulls out the unmistakable shape of an ENGAGEMENT RING BOX. He

throws it in the glove box, starts the truck and drives away.

CUT TO:

6INT. JULIE'S APARTMENT DOORWAY - DAY

Julie opens the door and steps inside. She locks three deadbolts. She

stands there, alone, listening to the SILENCE. She doesn't even have a

cat. A faucet DRIPS in the kitchen.

6AINT. JULIE'S KITCHEN - DAY

The faucet DRIPS. Julie turns the handle. No success. She checks the

lock on each window. She stands for a moment.

She picks up a bag of chips and eats a handful. She opens the fridge

and takes out a can of nacho cheese sauce. She grabs a soft drink and

a jar of bread-and-butter pickles. She gets some cookies from a shelf.

She thinks. Opens the freezer, pulls out some fat-free sorbet.

She takes the whole mess toward her bedroom.

6BINT. JULIE'S BEDROOM - DAY

She hits the light switch. A bedside light goes on. It's a sparsely

furnished room. The bed is pilled high with pillows. She checks the

windows, then climbs into bed with the food.

On the bedside table are pictures of family and friends. She looks at

one of Helen and Barry. She looks around the room. It's depressing.

Outside we hear young people having fun, slamming car doors, going

places. She picks at the food, then puts it on the table. She turns

off the bedside light and enjoys the golden late afternoon glow in the

room.

DISSOVE TO:

6CINT. JULIE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Julie, sound asleep, is curled into fetal position on the bed.

There's a CLICK in the front hall. And ANOTHER.

Julie's eyes shoot open. She listens. Another SOUND, almost like the

front door being CLOSED.

Her arm reaches for the bedside light. She hits the switch. The bulb

POPS.

JULIE:

(whispers)

Okay. Okay. Face your fears...

She gets off the bed and stands still.

JULIE (cont'd)

(whisper)

There's nothing...

There's another NOISE down the hall.

JULIE (cont'd)

(whisper)

Quiet.

Julie silently scoots out of her bedroom toward the kitchen.

6DINT. JULIE'S KITCHEN - NIGHT

She gets a large KNIFE. She listens. It sounds like somone's in the

living room. She steps through the kitchen door.

As she moves we see a shadow pass the other way down the hallway

toward her bedroom.

6EINT. JULIE'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

There's NO ONE there.

JULIE (cont'd)

Okay, calm down, imagination.

She relaxes until she sees that her front door is slightly AJAR, light

from the hallway slanting through.

JULIE (cont'd)

I can't take this anymore. I can't.

Holding the knife in front of her, she tiptoes to the hallway. There's

a soft RUSTLING coning from her bedroom. She gets a flashlight out of

a drawer and starts down the hallway.

JULIE (cont'd)

(fatalistic)

Let's just do it.

She moves faster toward her bedroom. she listens outside the doorway.

It sounds like someone's in the closet. She moves into the room.

6FINT. JULIE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

There's a noise in the darkened closet. Julie moves into position.

She turns the flashlight ON and lunges for the closet.

INT THE CLOSET:

KARLA WILSON, 19, all grace and attitude, is on tiptoes reaching for a

box of shoes. She SCREAMS.

Julie SCREAMS. They both SCREAM together. Julie drops the knife and

flashlight.

KARLA:

I thought you were out of town!

JULIE:

What are you doing in my closet?

They hug, jumping up and down with relief.

KARLA:

I thought you were out of town!

JULIE:

What are you doing in my closet?

KARLA:

i just wanted your black pants, but

I'm not ready to die for them!

Julie turns on the light in the hallway. Karla has her shoes in her

hand and black pants draped over her arm.

JULIE:

That was heart attack time, Karla.

KARLA:

No. When I put these skinny pants on

my body...Now, that's heart attack

time.

Karla looks down and sees the knife. She picks it up with two

fingers --

KARLA (cont'd)

And we're going to put away the

utensils and you're coming with me.

Julie flops down on her bed.

JULIE:

I'm not going anywhere. I'm fat,

ugly, and depressed.

KARLA:

Yeah, right -- whatever.

JULIE:

I think I just really hurt Ray's

feelings.

KARLA:

(keeping it upbeat)

Listen to me, Julie. Ray's a great

guy, nothing against old Ray, but

he's so...Ray. I mean, he lives in

Southport. Will's a nice guy, too,

and he lives right down the street.

Karla picks up the flashlight and goes into the closet.

JULIE:

There's nothing between Will and me.

KARLA (V.O.)

Yet. Nothing yet.

She emerges with clothes for Julie. Holds up one outfit.

KARLA (cont'd)

What we gotta do is keep moving. No

time to mope. I'm working at the

club tonight. And you, dancing queen,

are coming with me.

JULIE:

No I'm not.

Karla holds up another dress for Julie -- strapless, sexy, the one.

KARLA:

Fine, then be fat, ugly, and

depressed.

Karla is dancing around. Julie laughs at her friend and takes the

dress when Karla hands it to her.

CUT TO:

7INT. THE CLUB - NIGHT

It's a hopping college joint: crowded, loud MUSIC, a dance floor, and

rivers of cheap booze.

AT THE BAR:

Julie sits next to Karla as she waits for her drink order.

A handsome young man slides in front of them. This is TYRELL MARTIN,

23, handsome, no pretention, a little dangerous, with a killer smile.

TYRELL:

You know what I want to do to you

...right now, don't you? There's

gotta be somewhere we can be alone.

KARLA:

(playful)

I don't think so. It's pretty

crowded.

TYRELL:

Just for a minute, baby. I got

something I wanna tell you.

He's looking for a dark corner or a storeroom or something.

KARLA:

(teasing)

If you can say all you gotta say

in a minute then I don't wanna hear

it.

TYRELL:

I'll talk real slow.

He's kissing her ear. She starts to giggle.

The bartender sets down drinks on Karla's tray.

KARLA:

(re:
Julie)

Ask her to dance.

Tyrell hesitates.

KARLA (cont'd)

Go on.

Karla cuts away through the crowd, delivering drinks. Tyrell turns to

Julie.

TYRELL:

You're the most beautiful woman

in the bar tonight, Jules.

JULIE:

Tyrell, you are an unstoppable

force of nature.

TYRELL:

That's right. It's how the species

survives. You'll never convince me

otherwise.

(beat)

Wanna dance?

Karla passes by --

KARLA:

Say yes.

JULIE:

No.

KARLA:

No means yes.

JULIE:

Tyrell, I appreciate it, but have

you seen my people dance? We make

the mouth face, we move the

fingers --

TYRELL:

(heading for the floor)

Worse comes to worse, you can stand

there and watch me.

KARLA:

Come on, I'll take a break and

we'll all dance.

7AINT. THE CLUB - DANCE FLOOR - NIGHT

is packed and thumping. Karla is dancing her way through the crowd.

Tyrell and Julie follow behind her.

Karla sees Will. He's dressed up and nervous. She smiles.

KARLA (cont'd)

Whaddayou know? Will Benson lookin'

fine.

JULIE:

(suspicious, but

having fun)

Karla! Did you tell him I'd be here?

KARLA:

Nope. I told him that you

absolutely, positively would not be

here at this bar between ten o'clock

and eleven o'clock tonight. And then

he came anyway.

WILL:

(shy to a fault)

This was not my idea.
