Scream 3 Page #2

---

based on the Woodsboro

and Windsor College murders.

Before his rise to television fame,

Cotton had been imprisoned...

and was later exonerated for the murder

of Maureen Prescott, his former lover--

Just yesterday, Cotton Weary was

shooting here at Sunrise Studios...

his first cameo

in a feature film, Stab 3.

Security here is tight, but we'll see

if we can get a statement. Excuse me.

Always a controversial man--

Channel Eight news.

We gotta get in. We gotta get in.

No press beyond this point.

Alone at night

he crosses flames

Ashe makes a fist

with his red right hand

Look, you're worried about the movie,

then protect the movie, okay?

Hire more security. Hire the National

Guard.Just don't kill the movie.

Violence in cinema

is a big deal right now, Roman.

This is not the kind of news

this studio is after.

So if we stop making

scary movies, what?

All the psychos in the world

will retire? Come on.

I've been makin' horror movies for

He was your goddamn idea, guys.

All right?

An ex-con with a trashy talk show?

He must've pissed people off every day.

Detectives, there's no reason

to presume that Cotton's death...

had anything to do

with this movie, is there?

He was making a movie called Stab.

He was stabbed.

Probably some psycho fan pissed off

they killed Randy in Stab 2.

Well, Tyson, that'd make you next,

wouldn't it?

I am not a Randy substitute.

I'm my own character.

Named Ricky,

who works at the video store.

It's an homage.

Hey! What if the killer's

Sidney Prescott?

I mean, what the hell ever happened to

her? She's probably off in the woods...

livin' like

the f***in' Unabomber, man.

I'm starting to see why

Tori Spelling and David Schwimmer

didn't want to come back.

Guys, this was about Cotton.

We are not in any danger.

"We are not in any danger,"

says Candy, page 15.

I don't see you leavin'.

You think serious black actors

my age can just throw away jobs?

It's all a business now. They got

Usher doing Pinter off-Broadway.

L.L. Cool J's

Shakespearin' in the park.

- Yeah!

- Maybe it's not meant to be.

Not meant to be? You win that

talent search for the new Sidney.

gotta be praying this movie keeps going.

Of course I am, but not

at the expense of people's lives.

Oh. Cue the violins, right?

Jesus.

Deja voodoo.

We need this area cleared, please.

Clear it.

- Gale Weathers! Oh, my God!

- Sh*t.

I-- Listen,

I-I-- I know we've never met...

and I don't mind you never returning

my calls, but I have to tell you...

after two films,

I feel like I am in your mind.

Well, that would explain

my constant headaches.

You know, I'm sorry things didn't

work out on 60 Minutes II.

Total Entertainment,

that's a pretty good fallback.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry that things didn't

work out with Brad Pitt...

but being single,

that's a pretty good fallback.

Gives me more time

for my work.

After all, Gale Weathers,

you're such a complex character.

Oh, and to be played by an actress

with such depth and range.

Uh,Jennifer,

Nick said you wanted to--

Gale.

Dewey.

Well, surprise, surprise.

Someone dies and Gale comes running.

Gale, I think you'll really appreciate

my character work in this one.

- Someone's helped me

understand the real you.

- Someone?

Your ruthless ambition,

your private self-loathing...

and that lost and lonely

little girl inside.

Lost and lonely what?

You heard me.

Thanks, Dewey, I'll return it.

Lost and lonely what?

- Little girl inside.

- I thought you were

supposed to be in Woodsboro.

Well, I'm surprised

you thought about me at all.

Listen, I gotta get back to work.

I really don't have time for this.

- Wait a minute. You work here?

- Yeah.

The movie needed

a technical advisor.

Someone who went through the real

experience, knew the real people.

- Hey, Dewey.

- Hey, Tom.

Hey! It's the real Gale Weathers.

Real from top to bottom.

Tom Prinze.

Watch your show all the time.

You're so right. Pop culture

is the politics ofthe 21 st century.

- Thank you.

- And that story that you did...

last month on me crashing my car?

-Wow, was that ever powerful journalism.

-Right, uh--

I especially liked the way

you implied that it was caused

by drinking and drugs.

And that the tyre blowout was faked.

That was great.

Tom, sometimes in journalism

you have to--

Are you parked in the lot?

'Cause I should check to make sure...

that nobody's messed

with your brake line.

Who's he supposed to be?

He's playing you? Him?

What?

I did not come here

to fight with you, Dewey.

- Cotton's killer left a picture.

- Of Sid's mom.

- The detectives told me.

- Well, does Sidney know about it?

Listen, Sidney doesn't need

you and your camera in her life.

Do you see a camera?

Right. You bought me

this purse, didn't you?

- Yeah.

- Look, it's-it's a habit.

-I-I walk outta the house, I turn it on.

-What the hell is this?

- It's like perfume.

- Gale Weathers?

- Could I be more popular?

- No press.

Mo press on set.

Get that woman outta here.

- Yes, Mr Milton. Let's go.

- Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Where is Detective Kincaid?

- I am working with Kincaid, Dewey.

- Come on. Move along, miss. Let's go.

Rules are rules, Gale.

But, really, it was great seeing you.

Stab 3 is a closed set. But just up

ahead is the old Seinfeld stage.

Now, does anybody

need a potty break?

- Oh, I do.

- Yeah, me too.

Okay, let go!

Thanks for your help, boys.

Holy sh*t, Silent Bob. It's that

TV news chick, Connie-f***in'-Chung!

Hey, Connie, how's Maury?

Dude, I think she likes me.

See how she's lookin' at me?

It's happening again.

Cotton had a lot

of enemies, Sid.

The police aren't saying

it's related to us.

Do you ever think about her?

Your mom?

None of this would've

ever happened if she hadn't--

if she hadn't--

Why'd she have

so many secrets, Dad?

Listen, maybe it's time

you came home.

I'm worried about you, kid. Out here

by yourself. You never see anyone.

The only people you talk to

don't even know your real name.

It's as if you don't exist.

That's the idea. Psychos

can't kill what they can't find.

Sid, come here.

Mother needs to talk to you.

Everything you touch, Sid, dies!

You're poison.

You're just like me.

You're just like me.

Oh, my God!

What have they done to me?

They'll do it to you.

- They'll do it to you, baby.

- Mom?

Roman?

Stab 3.

Jesus, I gotta get a new agent.

Roman?

Someone here?

Stan, my man.

He does good work, huh?

- Thank you. Thank you very much.

- F*** you very much.

- Tyson, go to hell.

- Well, excuse us, Sarah. Makeup tests.

Yeah, makeup. You can use it.

Damn it, have you seen Roman?

Look, everyone in the office

has gone home already.

- He said it was important.

- Everything's important to Roman.

Oh, sh*t!

- Director's office.

- Sarah, it's Roman.

I'm sorry I'm running late. I'm still

on the 405. I'm about ten minutes away.

Oh, it's no problem. I'm just

lookin' at your music video awards.
