STU:

Wanna another beer?

RANDY:

Yeah.

STU:

I'll be right back.

Everybody "ooohhs".

RANDY:

There he goes folks -- a dead man.

Wave bye-bye.

INT. NEWSVAN - CONTINUOUS

Gale and Kenny watch the monitor. The party is clearing out

some A RAP at the van door. Gale pulls it open to see Deputy

Riley standing, his face all smiles.

DEWEY:

Sheriff just radioed me. I'm gonna

check out a possible lead. Thought

you might like to join me.

GALE:

What kind of lead?

DEWEY:

A car was spotted in the bushes a

little ways up the road.

GALE:

I'd love to. If you're sure it's

alright?

DEWEY:

Ma'am, I am the Deputy of this town.

GALE:

Can I bring Kenny?

DEWEY:

(too quickly)

NO! I mean... I should probably take

just you.

Gale steps out of the van turning back to Kenny.

GALE:

I'll be back.

She slides the van door closed.

EXT. ROAD - CONTINUOUS

Gale heads for Dewey's patrol jeep.

DEWEY:

Actually, I thought we could walk.

It's not far.

Gale appears skeptical, but smiles anyway. She's genuinely

smitten by this young guy.

INT. LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

SCARY MUSIC fills the room. The party is reduced to the

diehards in front of the television.

RANDY:

(pointing to TV)

Look, here comes the obligatory tit

shot.

OTHER GUYS:

Beautiful! Finally!

INT. BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

Billy and Sidney are going at it... passionately. He has his

head buried in her neck.

SIDNEY:

(to herself)

"Eight is enough to fill our lives

with love..."

It's working. Sidney pushes Billy off her as she pulls her

shirt over her head. She fumbles with the clasp of her bra

as the...

CAMERA RUSHES IN on her breasts. Just as Sid's bra straps

slide of her shoulders...

Billy moves in front of the CAMERA, pulling his jeans off,

Blocking Sidney from view.

INT. LIVING ROOM - SECONDS LATER

Back in the living room, the horror fest continues when the

phone RINGS. Everyone ignores it. It RINGS again.

Finally, Randy grabs the receiver from the side table.

RANDY:

Hello? Yeah.... HOLY SH*T.

Randy, freaked, drops the phone, finds the TV remote and

pauses the movie, the others protest "Hey, Put it back..."

etc.

RANDY:

Listen up. They found Principal Himbry

dead. He was gutted and hung from

the goal post on the football field.

This stills the room. Complete silence as the news sinks in.

ON different faces... a moment of devastation... disbelief.

And then:

TEEN #1

So what are we waiting for?

TEEN #2

Let's get over there before they pry

him down.

And in seconds the room is empty as everyone bolts for the

door... HOOTIN' and HOLLERIN'... leaving Randy, near drunk,

alone in the living room. He returns to the movie.

RANDY:

We were just getting to the good

part.

INT. NEWSVAN - MINUTES LATER

Kenny is barely watching the monitor, he reached boredom

some time ago. He finds a bag of Cheetos and chows down when

he hears SCREAMING from outside. He peers out the window to

see the last of the PARTY KIDS pile into two cars and race

off down the road.

He chews a Cheeto slowly, his interest piqued.

INT. BEDROOM - MINUTES LATER

The sex is over... and both Sid and Billy are dressing

respectively. That post-sex awkwardness.

Sid brushes out her hair as her eyes come to rest on the

telephone on the nightstand... it puzzles her as a stark

revelation crosses her face. She turns to Billy who sits on

the floor, putting on his shoes.

SIDNEY:

Who did you call?

BILLY:

What?

SIDNEY:

When you're arrested -- you're allowed

one phone call? Who did you call?

BILLY:

I called my dad.

SIDNEY:

No, Sheriff Burke called your dad. I

saw him.

BILLY:

Yeah... and when I called no one

answered.

SIDNEY:

Uh-huh.

BILLY:

You don't still think it was me?
