Scream Page #30

---

RANDY:

No, Sid.

They both move toward her. There's no time. She must act

now. Finally...

SIDNEY:

F*** you both.

And with that, Sidney steps back into the house and SLAMS

the front door shut.

INT. LIVING ROOM / FOYER

Sid locks and bolts the door. From the other side she can

hear Randy SCREAMING.

RANDY:

NO, SID. OPEN UP. PLEASE... HE'S

GONE CRAZY.

His fists POUND against the door. Sidney, stumbling in the

darkness, rushes to the phone in the living room. Just as

she reaches for it... it RINGS. It scares the life out of

her. She SCREAMS, yanking it up.

SIDNEY:

Please! God! Help me!

VOICE:

(from the phone)

Having fun Sidney?

Sidney falls apart, SCREAMING.

SIDNEY:

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

She throws the phone down, disconnecting the call.

Sid moves back to the door. RANDY'S SCREAMS ARE MADDENING.

She eyes the lock, deliberating.

SIDNEY:

(at the door)

GOAWAYLEAVEMEALONE!

CLUNK! A NOISE UPSTAIRS.

Sidney looks up the staircase, into the darkness, her face

SHOCKED to see...

BILLY:

emerging from the shadows, stumbling down the stairs. Very

much alive.

SIDNEY:

Oh God. Billy!

He's blood-soaked and dazed. Sidney meets him in the landing,

grabbing him, holding him...

SIDNEY:

I thought you were...

BILLY:

I'm alright. Gotta... get... help.

Billy goes for the door.

SIDNEY:

He's out there.

Randy continues POUNDING ON THE DOOR, SCREAMING AT THE TOP

OF HIS LUNGS.

RANDY:

(through door)

Please, you gotta let me in. He's

gonna kill me.

Billy goes for the door. Sidney blocks him.

SIDNEY:

NO! Don't believe him.

BILLY:

It's okay. Give me the gun.

Sidney hands him the gun. Billy turns and unlocks the door,

opening it. Randy rushes in, grabbing Billy, pleading...

RANDY:

Help me...

BILLY:

(calming him)

Shhhh. It's okay.

RANDY:

Stu's flipped out. He's gone mad.

Slowly, a small smile creeps across Billy's face.

BILLY:

"We all go a little mad sometimes."

Randy squints, confused, as Billy aims the gun at Randy and

pulls the trigger. The BLAST throws Randy's body against the

wall before sliding to a heap on the floor... still.

BILLY:

Anthony Perkins -- PSYCHO

BILLY TURNS TO SIDNEY...

Who stands only feet away, face aghast...

F***, no... this can't be happening. Billy's eyes are on

her, unmoving.

He sticks his tongue out and slowly licks the blood dried to

his face... tasting it.

BILLY:

Corn syrup. Same stuff they used for

pig's blood in CARRIE.

Sidney is dumbfounded. Slowly, she takes a step back, moving

into the dark refines of the kitchen.

Billy, lurches forward in a fake-out, baiting her. She takes

another step back -- petrified.

CLOSE ON BILLY'S FACE. It is no longer familiar to Sidney.

There is something inhuman now about his features. His

expression is pure evil.

She takes another step back, shrinking into the dark kitchen.

THE CAMERA TAKES A MOMENT TO ADJUST TO THE DARKNESS as the

outline of a FIGURE appears...

STANDING RIGHT BEHIND SIDNEY.

She continues to back up, moving right into the arms of...

STU:

Sidney spins around... her mouth open in speechless horror.

SIDNEY:

Stu... please... help me...

Stu stares back at her, eyes wide, lips curled in a subtle

smile as he holds a small compact CELLULAR PHONE up to his

face.

STU:

(whispering into phone)

Surprise, Sidney.

His VOICE sounds affected now... the VOICE of the killer.

Sidney looks back to Billy, then to Stu, then to Billy again.

It becomes all too clear.

She stands between them, her mind racing, calculating...

SHE BOLTS INTO THE LIVING ROOM

If for no other reason than to put space between her and

them... they stand in the entryway, trapping her in.

BILLY:

Where ya going? It's not over yet.

We've got one more surprise -- Stu,

I believe it's your turn.

STU:

Oh yeah.

Stu disappears into the kitchen.

BILLY:

(to Sidney)

What's wrong? You look like you've

seen a ghost.

Sidney stands, trying hard to hold a calm resolve.

A NOISE comes from the kitchen. A low dragging sound. Stu

reappears from the front hall... wrestling with something...

someone...
