Lisa

Last victim is the handsome Richard, with whom Lisa begins a passionate phone relationship, unaware that he's also a psycho-killer and sex maniac...

)

Wendy:

( both giggle )

( intercom buzzes )

ADAMS. VEHICLE I.D.

( sexy voice :
)

HELLO, IS THIS THE SUPERVISOR?

YES, MA'AM.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

I'VE SPOKEN

TO SEVERAL PEOPLE

WHO WORK UNDER YOU,

AND THEY'VE ALL SAID

THAT THEY DIDN' HAVE THE AUTHORITY

TO HELP ME OUT.

THAT'S WHY I'VE ASKED TO SPEAK

TO SOMEONE OF YOUR STATURE.

THAT'S USUALLY

THE CASE, MA'AM.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

WELL, YOU SEE,

SOMEBODY HIT MY CAR

WHILE IT WAS PARKED.

HIT AND RUN'S

A POLICE MATTER,

DOESN'T COME UNDER

THIS DEPARTMENT.

OH, NO, NO.

IT WASN'T HIT AND RUN.

THE GENTLEMEN WHO DID I WAS VERY CONSIDERATE,

AND HE LEFT ME A NOTE

WITH HIS NAME,

TELEPHONE NUMBER,

AND A SWEET APOLOGY.

BUT GUESS WHAT?

I LOST THE NOTE.

I, UH, I DON'T SEE HOW

I CAN HELP YOU.

WELL, THE ONE THING I DO --

EXCUSE ME?

YOU LITTLE BRAT!

GET OUT OF HERE!

ARE YOU STILL THERE?

GET OUTTA HERE!

UH, YES, YES.

THAT WAS --

THAT WAS MY SECRETARY.

UM, AS I WAS SAYING,

THE ONE THING:

I DO REMEMBER FROM THE NOTE

WAS THE LICENSE PLATE NUMBER.

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE

PERSONALIZED PLATES.

IT WAS "WANT MORE."

COULD YOU PLEASE

RUN THAT FOR ME?

"W-N-T M-O-R-E."

( whispers:
)

Does he have it?

( taps keyboard )

I'M SORRY, I CAN'T DO THAT.

I SUGGEST YOU:

CALL THE POLICE.

OKAY. MR. ADAMS,

LET ME BE:

REALLY HONEST WITH YOU --

I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU

THE WHOLE STORY.

IT WASN'T MY CAR.

IT WAS MY FRIEND'S CAR.

I BORROWED IT,

AND WHEN SHE SEES HER CAR

AND SHE SEES THIS DENT,

IT'LL BE LIKE...

LIKE A DEATH IN THE FAMILY.

HA HA HA HA!

OHH, YOU KNOW, I WOULD REALLY

LIKE TO HELP YOU OUT, BUT --

MR. ADAMS,

I UNDERSTAND THE PRESSURES

ON A MAN IN YOUR POSITION,

BUT NO ONE WILL:

EVER HAVE TO KNOW.

IF I HADN'T LOST THE NOTE,

I NEVER WOULD HAVE

HAD TO CALL YOU.

UH...

( tapping keyboard )

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MR. ADAMS.

YOU REALLY:

MADE MY DAY.

( both shriek with delight )

THANK YOU, MAGNUM P.I.

AND MY PARENTS SAY

WE DON'T LEARN ANYTHING FROM TV.

YOU KNOW, LISA,

WE COULD TOTALLY

BE PRIVATE EYES:

IF WE WANTED TO.

SO WHAT'S

MY STUD MUFFIN'S NAME?

ROBERT TRAVIS.

CALL HIM.

NO. YOU CALL HIM.

NO WAY, LISA.

I MEAN, YOU SOUND

JUST LIKE YOUR MOM.

I SOUND LIKE A KID.

( phone rings )

HELLO?

OH, HI.

UM, HOW'D YOU GET MY NUMBER?

( whispers )

FRIDAY NIGHT?

YEAH.

YEAH, SURE,

THAT SOUNDS FUN.

LISA?

ERIC WANTS TO:

GO OUT WITH LISA?

( whispering )

UM, WELL...

I'LL-I'LL TALK TO HER.

OKAY?

OKAY.

CALL ME BACK. BYE.

OH, MY GOD, LISA!

THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLE!

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.

THAT WAS NICK RIVALDI CALLING.

HE CALLED TO ASK ME OUT!

HE ASKED ME OUT,

I HAVE MY FIRST DATE!

AND ERIC WANTS TO

GO OUT WITH YOU, TOO,

WHICH MEANS WE CAN DOUBLE!

THIS IS SO EXCITING!

YEAH,

JUST MAKE THE PLANS

FOR TWO YEARS:

FROM FRIDAY NIGHT.

YOU DON'T HAVE

TO TELL YOUR MOM.

YOU COULD JUST TELL HER

YOU WERE COMING OVER HERE

TO SPEND THE NIGHT.

YEAH, AND THEN

SHE TALKS TO YOUR MOM

AND I'M DEAD.

BESIDES,

I CAN'T LIE TO HER.

WE TELL EACH OTHER EVERYTHING.

YOU DON'T TELL HER

ABOUT THE SCRAPBOOK

AND FOLLOWING GUYS.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE

TO KNOW ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S NOT FOR REAL.

LISA, COME ON.

I CANNOT BELIEVE

YOUR MOTHER'S REALLY SERIOUS

ABOUT THE SIXTEEN THING.

SHE'S SO COOL

ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE.

SHE LETS YOU SWEAR,

WEAR HER CLOTHES --

SHE TREATS YOU:

LIKE A BEST FRIEND.

LISA, YOU REALLY

GOTTA DEAL WITH HER.

BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE TO WAI TILL YOUR SIXTEEN TO DATE,

EVERYBODY'S GONNA

THINK YOU'RE WEIRD.

( crying softly )

( dog barks in distance )

HI, GUY, I'M HOME!

UH-OH, A LOCKED DOOR.

LET'S SEE,

IT'S NOT REPORT CARD TIME...

GEORGE MICHAEL:

DIDN'T GET MARRIED, DID HE?

HONEY?

UH-OH.

SERIOUS, HUH?

WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?

NO?

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

WHY DON'T YOU AND I

MAKE SOME DINNER?

AND I'LL LET YOU

PEEL THE ONIONS:

SINCE YOUR EYES:

ARE ALREADY RED.

OKAY?

( sighs )

( onions sizzle )

Katherine:

...ONLY I DON'T KNOW

WHO THE HELL:

I'M TALKIN' TO, RIGHT?

SO HE SAID, "YOU DON' REMEMBER ME, DO YA?"

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

I SAID, "UH, WELL,

"I'M NOT SURE."

AND HE SAID, "WHAT,

THERE'S SO MANY MEN

"IN YOUR LIFE

YOU CAN'T REMEMBER ME?"

NOW I'M GETTING ANGRY.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO INSULT HIM

IN CASE HE'S A CUSTOMER.

SO HE SAYS, "WELL,

IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER ME,
