Scream 2 Page #12

---

Hallie clearly wishes she were there.

SISKEL:

(from TV) It was just an excuse to kill young, big breasted girls. I didn't like it.

They're reviewing STAB. Hallie switches channels. There's a KNOCK on the door.

Sid answers--it's Dewey and Gale. From the look on their faces...

SIDNEY:

Someone else has been killed.

CUT TO:

EXT. DELTA ZETA HOUSE - BACK YARD- LITTLE LATER

SPLAT! Gobs of gooey food goes flying through the air exploding perfectly all over...

MICKEY:

who stands buck naked, tied...chained to a tree in the back yard. The yard is crowded with

FRAT BOYS and SORORITY GIRLS who delight in torching him. Mounds of syrup, eggs, and other

wet and slimy food is plunged upon him.

FRATERNITY JOCK:

Who do you love?

MICKEY:

Hallie.

FRATERNITY JOCK:

Did you say "My TKE brothers"?

MICKEY:

No, I said Hallie.

More food and slime come barreling at him. A drunk Lois and Murphy pull the police tape down

from the previous night's crime scene and begin to Mayflower him. The crowd goes crazy.

INT. SIDNEY'S DORM ROOM - NIGHT

Hallie consoles Sidney. Dewey and Gale nearby. Sidney is a stone rock. It's frightening to

watch her hold it together.

SIDNEY:

I'm fine. I wish people would stop treating me like glass. I'm not gonna break.

HALLIE:

It's okay to break, girl. You shatter if you have to.

SIDNEY:

I'd really just like to be alone.

DEWEY:

The police are waiting outside. They're going to take you somewhere safe.

SIDNEY:

Dewey, there's no such place.

DEWEY:

Humor me, Sid.

Sidney starts packing an overnight bag.

HALLIE:

Can I come with her?

SIDNEY:

No, Hallie, I'm not gonna take you down too. I'll be alright.

GALE:

Sid, I'll come with you.

SIDNEY:

But who would operate your camera?

A burn. It comes out of nowhere. Gale goes silent. A KNOCK at the door. Dewey opens to

find a Police guard standing with Joel.

SIDNEY (cont'd)

He's cool, Remy.

Joel is ushered in. He says his hello's, moving to Hallie. Gale and Dewey move out into the

hall with the guards. Sid continues to pack. Her face rigid.

JOEL:

They got Mickey. He's being toasted at the Deltas.

HALLIE:

I knew it. Sh*t! I gotta get over there.

JOEL:

We're under quarantine.

He points to Dewey who talks to Gale in the hallway.

HALLIE:

I'm the only one who can cut him down.

SIDNEY:

It's not a good idea, Hallie.

JOEL:

I'll go with her.

HALLIE:

Be safe, girl.

She gives Sidney a hug before she can object, then she and Joel race out into the hallway

as Dewey sticks his head in.

DEWEY:

Sid, you should get going.

He looks at Joel and Hallie.

DEWEY (cont'd)

Where are you two headed?

JOEL:

(instant cover) Hallie forgot her footage at the film dept. I'm gonna walk her over

before it's gets too late

DEWEY:

You really...

HALLIE:

I gotta have it, Dewey.

Gale steps in.

GALE:

Hey, Dewey?

HALLIE:

Seeya, Dewey.

Hallie and Joel race outta there before any more objections. Dewey turns to Gale.

GALE:

If you were truly a copycat, wouldn't you want to emulate everything about the killer

that you could?

DEWEY:

Meaning?

GALE:

He's already gotta be a part of Sid's life. What do you know about this Derek?

DEWEY:

Solid alibis. He was with Sidney when she was attacked.

GALE:

Billy had alibis too.

Dewey turns to Sid who now stands ready in the doorway.

DEWEY:

Hey, I got stuff to do. But I'll find you later, okay.

SIDNEY:

Whatever.

Sidney's exterior keeps hardening.

CUT TO:

EXT. DELTA ZETA HOUSE - BACK YARD- LITTLE LATER

Mickey is still tied to the tree. He's so completely covered in hardened gook it looks

like he's wearing clothes. The last of the crowd has left. They've gone back to the party.

He stands shivering in the cold.

He checks the chain that holds him secure. It's composed of several bike locks and steel

twine. He's not going anywhere. BUMP! He hears a noise. He looks to the nearby shrubs

and beyond. Nothing. Just a noise of the night.

MICKEY:

(whispering) Come on, Hallie, baby...

CUT TO:

INT. DEREK'S DORM ROOM - LATER

A dark room. A slight disturbance at the door and it comes popping open. Light from the hall

floods the room as Dewey and Gale slip in and close the door behind them.

GALE:

(checking door) You broke the lock.

DEWEY:

You broke my heart.

GALE:

What are we looking for?

DEWEY:

A bloody knife. A ghost mask. Something like that?

GALE:

Can we turn the light on?

DEWEY:

That's not the way it's done.

Dewey pulls out his flashlight and begins to search the room. He sifts through drawers

and a closet.

DEWEY:

And it's sexier in the dark.

GALE:

Dewey, you and I would never make it.

DEWEY:

Maybe not. But think about the sex. As frustrated as I am...

GALE:

..and as lonely as I am...

DEWEY:

We'd break some furniture.

Gale LAUGHS at this. She reaches over and pats his buttock.

GALE:

Tell you what. We get through this one. And we'll take out a hotel room.

Over here with the light.

Dewey points the light to a framed picture. It's of Joel and Derek - a buddy pose.

She sifts through some text books on the desk.

DEWEY:

They're roomates.

GALE:

And Joel's pre-med.

DEWEY:

The sorority girl was gutted with autopsy precision.

GALE:

Sh*t! It's both of them. The first murders were to throw us - using the same

names as Woodsboro. But they've moved on- -they're getting closer to Sidney. They're not

looking for a Himbry or a Tatum to kill. They're looking for the new Tatum.

DEWEY:

Hallie?

A moment. Then in a splash, they're outta there.

CUT TO:

EXT. RESIDENTIAL STREET - MINUTES LATER

A squad car makes it's way down the quiet campus street.

INT. SQUAD CAR - SAME

Sidney sits in the backseat. The two police officers ride in front.

SIDNEY:

Where are you taking me?

POLICE GUARD #1

Actually, I don't know.

POLICE GUARD #2

We're meeting another car that will transport you the rest of the way.

POLICE GUARD #1

Safety precautions.

SIDNEY:

I feel like Eddie Murphy.

The car comes to a halt in front of a stop light.

POLICE GUARD #1

We feel like Kevin Costner.

Sidney smiles at this just as the car door rips open on the passenger's side. Two hands

reach in and yank Police Guard #2 from the car. He starts to CRY OUT but it's cut short.

Sid SCREAMS as the Police Guard behind the wheel struggles with his seat belt. He looks up

to see a Ghost Masked Figure move around the side of the car towards his door. He reaches

for his gun but it's too late. The Ghost has the door open. A flash of silver and the Police

Guard's throat is slit.

IN THE BACK SEAT

Sidney SCREAMS and SCREAMS, BEATING on the door of the car. It won't open. She's trapped like

a caged animal.

IN THE FRONT SEAT

The Ghost pulls the Police Guard from the car, then gets in, behind the driver's seat. The

Ghost puts the car in drive and takes off down the road.

Sidney looks behind her as the guard's dead bodies lay sprawled in the middle of the road.

She turns to the door, BEATING and CLAWING at it. She leans back, manic, and KICKS at the

window with her feet. No use.

EXT. CAMPUS DRIVE - SAME

The car makes its way down the deserted street

IN THE BACKSEAT:

Sidney is beyond frantic. She eyes the Ghost through the gate. She turns and twists looking

for an escape. Through the window, she sees approaching headlights. She SCREAMS through

the closed window as a car passes by. Sidney takes notice as the car turns onto another

campus street. Big, stone school buildings line each side of a thin, road.
