Scream 3 Page #3

---

Since I got you on thephone, let's--

let's talk about your character, okay?

What character? I'm Candy,

the chick who gets killed second.

- I'm only in two scenes.

- You're not happy with your part.

I'm not happy that I am

I'm not happy

that I have to die naked.

And I'm not happy that my character is

too stupid to have a gun in the house...

after her boyfriend's

been cut into fish sticks.

Great, okay.

So let's--let's run the lines.

Fine.

Page28.

Candy's big moment.

Page 28.

Ring-ring.

Hello?

- Hello?

- Who's this?

- Who's this?

- This is Candy.

Hang on.

Let me get some clothes.

See? I don't understand why I have

to start the scene in the shower.

The whole shower thing's been done.

Vertigo. Hello?

And I mean, my boyfriend just died.

Why am I showering?

Why don't we just read the scene?

Candy. Nice name. Is that like

Candy Cane or Candy Apple?

Whatever.

Come on.

Who is this?

I think you have

the wrong number.

- But you know my favourite name?

- I'm hanging up right now.

It's Sarah.

Roman, that's not the line.

It is in my script.

Has there been another goddam rewrite?

How the f***...

are we supposed to learn our lines when

there's a new script every 15 minutes?

It's not just a new script.

It's a new movie.

- What? What movie?

- My movie.

And it's called Sarah Gets

Skewered Like a F***in' Pig!

Still in character, Sarah?

Sh*t.

Sh*t!

Oh! F***!

Look, I wanna get something straight.

I only got into this because

the police asked for my help.

- Why would the police come to you?

- Well, I did write..

the definitive book

on the Woodsboro murders.

I'm sure you just can't wait

to write another one.

- What about you?

- What about me?

You said you'd never leave Woodsboro.

"It's the only place that's real."

But now you're here.

Not with me.

Dewey, I took care ofyou.

I waited until you were well,

but I couldn't stay there.

It was like dog years. One year in

Woodsboro is like seven anywhere else.

So it's off to Paris for a week?

New York for a month? L.A. forever?

It was f***ing 60 Minutes II.

- I couldn't say no. I could've

been the next Diane Sawyer.

- Wait a minute.

What's wrong with just being

Gale Weathers? I liked her.

It didn't work, Dewey.

We tried. We're different.

You used to say

that was our strength.

- Well--

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

Dewey, you're not just here because

of that second-rate K-Mart...

straight-to-video

version of me, are you?

Brace yourself, Gale.

All of this is actually not about you.

All of what, Dewey?

You do know something, don't you?

- Off the record?

- Always.

Two months ago, the Woodsboro police

got a call from a woman...

who said she was with Stab 3.

She wanted to see the file

on Sid, "for research."

- And?

- The boys said no.

And she wouldn't give her name.

A month later,

the station gets broken into.

- The file room gets ransacked.

- And someone stole Sid's file?

I already removed it.

I think someone on the film

is tryin' to find Sid.

- I'm sorry, this is incredible.

- I said, "off the record."

Right.

It's Jennifer.

She needs me.

-Jennifer?

- Gotta run.

- Wait! Dewey, where are you going?

- I'm on duty.

Stop following me.

I happen to be working

for the police, damn it!

- You're not a detective, Gale.

- Neither are you, Mr Incognito.

- Uh, you left your motor running.

- Damn it.

Fans, I can handle. Fans, they want

a picture, they want a conversation.

I can handle fans!

You see this, Dewey?

I haven't had one ofthese in a year and

a half. Someone's gonna pay for this.

-Jennifer, settle down. What happened?

- I'm with him.

- You.

Like I'm ever going

to win an award playing you.

- There's been a second murder.

- Who?

- Sarah Darling.

- Where?

-At the studio.

-Where? Nancy Drew

wants to know where.

Cotton Weary. Sarah Darling.

Don't you get it?

Someone's killing them in the order

they die in the movie.

- Dewey, who gets killed third?

- Who gets killed third?

You do.

I get killed in Stab 3?

I get killed?

- Yeah.

- Dewey, where are you going?

I have to get something

from my trailer.

Your--

You live here with her?

- Yeah.

- Oh, my God!

I needed a place to stay,

and she said she liked having me around.

- Why?

- She says I make her feel safe.

- She says I'm her rock.

- Her rock?

Yeah. If you weren't so concerned

with pretensions and appearances...

you'd be able to appreciate the

positivity and emotional centeredness...

I provide a woman.

Stone, I'm headed

to the crime scene.

You stay by Jennifer's side.

I suggest a search of the grounds.

Hey, Dewdrop.

Can I have a word?

Just so it can be straight. I'm

the professional celebrity guard here.

My resume lists Julia Roberts,

Salmon Rushdie, Posh Spice.

You are the Hollywood hanger-oner.

'Cause you're just no good

as a cop any more.

Your resume reads

like the obituaries.

So how about you take suggestions

from me? All right?

Whatever you say.

Hmm. Same deal?

Found with the body?

- Yeah, Maureen Prescott again.

- This is great.

Ten more murders

and we can publish a calendar.

The old "killer playing

with the cops" routine.

Very Hannibal Lecter.

Very Seven.

Doesn't the killer come after

the cops in those movies?

Usually one cop makes it.

- And?

- One cop doesn't.

- Usually.

- Detective Kincaid.

- What do we know? Same killer?

- Hey, hey.

Terminal Entertainment,

this is a crime scene, okay?

Wallace, Miss Weathers

is working with me now.

- Thank you, Detective.

- You're welcome.

Well, in that case, I'm gonna go dust

for fingerprints with Jane Pauley.

Uh, photos, Wallace, please?

Thank you.

New pictures, same person.

Anything turn up on your research yet?

- Nothing that will help with these.

- What about an increased

police presence around Jennifer?

- She's the next one

to get killed in the script.

- She has a bodyguard.

And besides, the producers told us

that there were three different

versions of the script.

Something about trying to keep

the ending off the Internet.

You should know that.

You're the technical advisor, right?

Three versions.

Three different characters die next.

And we don't know which one

the killer read.

Hey, hold up.

All I ever wanted to do

was make a real classic lovestory.

And the studio said they'd let me.

I just had to do

a scary movie for them first.

And now we're shut down,

and I am f***ed!

God, it's not the end

of the world, Roman.

That is so easy foryou to say. You can

always go back to, to MustSee TV.

You know, I have no movie,

I'm about to turn 30, and it
