Jennifer’s Body Page #2

You're gonna arrest me?

You're not even out of

the academy yet, Roman.

Two more months.

Then I'm on the force for reals.

Are you, uh—

you're gonna cuff me?

[ Groans ]

Don't do that.

Okay? Not here.

[ Needy ]

Hey, that's the band.

[ Woman Laughing, Echoing ]

Mmm. You can totally tell

they're from the city.

Yeah, 'cause they're

wearing eyeliner. They look

like a bunch of faygos.

Well, you would think that,

Roman, because you're

a small-time Gomer.

I wish we had more guys

like that in Devil's Kettle.

All stylish and sh*t.

[ Tuning ]

[Jennifer ]

I think they need two groupies.

No! No. Come on.

Don't be so J.V., Needy.

They're just boys, morsels.

We have all the power.

Don't you know that?

These things?

These are like

smart bombs. Okay?

You point them

in the right direction,

and sh*t gets real.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh— [ Giggling ]

we just wanted to meet you

or something.

I'm Jennifer Check,

and this is my friend.

Hi. I'm Nikolai.

This is, uh—

These guys are my band.

Low Shoulder.

Yeah, we've heard—

I've heard about you.

You play your instruments

really super good.

Thank you.

We are professionals.

Hey. Sorry.

Could I ask you a question?

Um, why would you wanna play

all the way out here in Devil's Kettle?

You live in the city, right?

Yeah.

But, you know, I think it's

really important sometimes to

try and connect with our fans...

in the shitty areas too.

That's amazing.

[ Chuckling ]

Can I, um— Can I buy you a drink?

Sure. What are we having?

They have this really awesome

9/1 1 tribute shooter.

It's red, white and blue,

but you have to drink it really fast

or it turns brownish.

All right.

Well, we'll drink it fast.

Okay.

- Okay.

- I'll be right back.

Hey, how- how are you

gonna get alcohol?

Um, I'll just play Hello Titty

with the bartender.

[ Man ]

Aw, sh*t.

Dirk, what about her?

- Who, Jan Brady?

- No, man. F*** you.

I'm talking about the one

who went to get me a drink.

The State Fair Butter Princess.

That's the one.

I don't know.

Are you sure she's-

Listen, I grew up

in a town like this, okay?

There's always that girl.

They love to show it off,

but they do not give it up.

You told us

you were from Brooklyn.

My point is, this girl is

definitely a virgin, okay?

- I know girls like that. I've dated chicks—

- I don't know.

Well, we didn't drive

all the way out here for nothing, so—

Fine. Okay? You know,

I'm notjust your bassist.

I'm a person with feelings

who happens to play the bass-

- Excuse me.

- I'd like a little respect around here.

Look, I didn't know

you had feelings. Hey.

Hey. That's my best friend

that you're talking about.

And you're right.

She is a virgin.

And that beats sleeping

with creeps like you.

[ Groans ]

Tower One

isn't full enough.

Those guys are rank, Jen.

Just forget about it.

You know what? I think

the lead singer wants me.

Only because he thinks

that you're a virgin.

I heard them talking.

What? I'm not even

a backdoor virgin anymore,

thanks to Roman.

And by the way, that hurts.

I couldn't even go

to Flags the next day.

I had to stay home and sit

on a bag of frozen peas.

Oh, my God.

[ Electricity Humming ]

[ Nikolai ]

Good evening, Devil's Lake.

[ Man ] Devil's Kettle!

F***in'-A right, it is.

[ Gasps, Screams ]

Let's go!

[ Woman ]

No!

[ Glass Shattering ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Screams ]

[ Woman Screaming ]

Run!

[ Woman Screams ]

We can't get

through there!

[ Screaming ]

I know where to go!

[ Screaming ]

Hey. Hey. Jen?

[ Screaming ]

Hey.

Jennifer?

Oh, thank God

you guys are all right.

I've been looking

everywhere for you two.

Listen, it's really

dangerous out here.

You wanna head someplace

safer, like my van?

What?

I'm in survival mode right now,

and I want us to get to a familiar place.

And right now,

I feel like that's my van.

Okay.

Okay, this one's

in shock. Great.

Are you in shock?

Have some ofthat.

No.

Jennifer?

[ Coughing ]

Hey.

Let's go, Jennifer!

Let's go to the van.

I wanna go to

your really cool van.

Needy, let's go see his van.

Why? Why should we?

We have the Sebring.

Let's just get out of here!

Let's go to L.O.O.

and get some Northwoods Nachos

with extra badger sauce.

- Please? I'm starving.

- Needy, stop it! Just shut up.

[ Needy Narrating ]

I watched her get into that van,

and I knew something awful

was going to happen.

He was skinny

and twisted and evil,

like this petrified tree

I saw when I was a kid.

[ Panting ]

[ Explosion ]

Oh.

[ Beeps ]

[ Cell Phone Chiming ]

[ Beeps ]

- Hey, Niedermeyer.

- Oh, thank God you're there.

What's wrong?

Jennifer's gone.

She ran offwith that rock band,

and Melody Lane burned down.

You're okay, right?

Uh, yeah.

But there was this huge stampede,

and all the people that fainted

got run over,

and you could hear

their bones breaking.

And the people—

[ Sobs ]

like, the people on fire

just smelled like—

This is crazy.

Jennifer's still with

those creeps.

They took her in their spooky van

with the windows all blacked out.

- Did you get the make and model?

- I don't know, Chip. An '89 Rapist?

She's still in there.

We have to go find her.

Who cares aboutJennifer

and those douche bags...

with their douche bag haircuts

and their man-scara?

People just burned to death.

[ Doorbell Ringing ]

Oh, cheese and fries.

There's somebody here!

I'm all alone.

I'm freaked out.

- Where is your mom?

- Swing shift.

Stay on the phone

with me, okay?

Needy, do you want me

to come over or something?

I don't know. Maybe.

[ Chip ]

Needy?

Okay, so now

there's no one here.

That's so strange.

Maybe I'm going crazy.

It's probably nothing.

Look, I'll call you later.

Okay.

Jen?

[ Refrigerator Door Opens ]

Um—

My mom got that at Boston Market,

and I'm— I'm not supposed to-

[ Roaring ]

[ Gagging ]

[ Retching ]

[ Giggling ]

Jennifer. Jennifer?

Jennifer.

[ Giggling Continues ]

[ Panting ]

Are you scared?

[ Siren Wailing ]
