Scream Page #32

---

Sidney SCREAMS... as blood gushes... real blood, a dark,

deep red. Stu inspects the wound to his side... then he

smiles...

STU:

Good one. My turn.

He takes the knife from Billy.

BILLY:

Don't forget -- stay to the side and

don't go too deep.

Stu stabs at Billy's belly, puncturing him... Billy doubles

over...

BILLY:

Jesus... f***, that hurt.

SIDNEY:

Stop it!

BILLY:

(squelching the pain)

Got the ending figured out yet? Time's

running out.

STU:

Come on, Sid. Think about it. Your

father is the chief suspect. We cloned

his cellular. The evidence is there.

Billy takes the knife and slashes at Stu's arm, two quick

cuts... he doubles over...

BILLY:

What if your father snapped? Your

mom's anniversary set him off and he

went on a murder spree, killing

everyone...

STU:

(in major pain)

Except for me and Billy... we were

left for dead...

BILLY:

And then he killed you and then shoots

himself in the head. It's a perfect

ending.

STU:

Everyone dies but us. We get to carry

on and plan the sequel. Let's face

it, these days -- you gotta have a

sequel.

Stu takes the knife and cuts at Billy.

SIDNEY:

You sick fucks -- you've seen one

too many movies.

Billy looks at her, bent over, crazed.

BILLY:

Oh Sid, don't blame the movies...

Movies don't create psychos. Movies

just make psychos more creative.

Stu staggers a bit.

STU:

That's it, Billy. I can't take any

more. I'm feeling woozy.

BILLY:

Get the gun. I'll untie Pops.

Billy moves to Sidney's father.

STU:

Where'd you put it?

Stu is searching the foyer for the gun.

BILLY:

It's on the table.

STU:

No, it's not.

Billy hobbles over. The gun is gone.

BILLY:

Where the f*** is it?

VOICE:

(off camera)

Right here, a**hole.

Billy and Stu look up in unison to see...

GALE WEATHERS-CORRESPONDENT FROM INSIDE STORY

standing in the front door way, gun in hand. Her body tattered

and bloody. Her hair a mess.

BILLY:

I thought she was dead.

STU:

She looked dead. Still does.

Gale holds the gun firm, in total control.

GALE:

I've got an ending for you. The

reporter left for dead in the newsvan

comes to, stumbles upon you two

dipshits, finds the gun, fumbles

your plan, and saves the day.

Sidney steps forward.

SIDNEY:

I like that ending.

Billy lunges at Gale, but she holds steady. Billy and Stu

eye each other.

BILLY:

She can't get both of us.

STU:

Odds are -- she'll miss anyway.

In a mad rush, they storm Gale, heading straight at her.

She pulls the trigger, but nothing happens... the safety is

on.

Billy charges forward, grabbing hold of the front door,

SLAMMING IT SHUT. It catches Gale in the face, knocking her

backwards out the door. She goes down... out.

STU:

Cool move.

Billy steps out the front door and retrieves the gun from

where Gale lays. Then he turns back inside the house to

find...

SIDNEY GONE.

BILLY:

Where'd she go?

Stu looks around, staggering now, bleeding heavily... Sidney

has completely disappeared. Only her father, bound and gagged

remains in the living.

STU:

I don't know Billy but I'm hurtin'.

BILLY:

Where the f*** did she go?

Suddenly, the phone RINGS. Billy and Stu look at each other.

Completely surprised. Billy scrambles over to the phone.

BILLY:

(picking up phone)

Hello?

SIDNEY:

(from phone)

Are you alone in the house?

Billy looks to Mr. Prescott. The cellular phone is gone.

BILLY:

You b*tch -- where the f*** are you?

SIDNEY:

Not so fast. We're gonna play a little

game. It's called GUESS WHO JUST

CALLED THE POLICE AND REPORTED YOUR

SORRY MOTHERFUCKING ASS?

Billy looks around the living room.

BILLY:

Find her.
