Billy is fuming now... slightly staggering... and starting

to lose it. He SCREAMS at Stu who has fallen to his knees.

BILLY:

FIND HER YOU DIPSHIT!

STU:

I can't... I'm bad off, Billy. You

cut too deep.

Billy throws the phone at Stu. He mouths to him, so Sid can't

hear. "Talk to her..." Then Billy takes off for the kitchen.

Stu takes the phone.

SIDNEY:

(aware)

So Stu, what's your motive? Billy's

got one. The police are on their

way. What are you going to tell them?

STU:

Peer pressure... I'm way to sensitive.

Billy flies back in the room, grabbing the phone from Stu.

He's completely nuts now, staggering, bleeding, totally

insane.

BILLY:

(SCREAMING in phone)

I'm gonna rip you up b*tch. Just

like your slut whore mother.

SIDNEY:

Gotta find me first, you pansy-assed

Mama's boy.

Billy starts ripping the room up, overturning furniture in a

mad fit of rage... when he notices the hall closet. Touche!

He smiles deliriously, heading for it, ripping it open as...

A GHOST MASKED FIGURE strikes from within, with an umbrella,

the sharp end hitting him in the chest as it fans out. Billy

stumbles back, stunned, as the GHOST comes at him again...

the umbrella lodges in his chest, and he goes down.

Sidney rips the GHOST MASK off her head. She looks at Billy,

disgusted, throwing the mask on Billy's now still body. A

movement behind her sends her reeling around to find...

RANDY slowly sitting up. His body drenched in blood. He's

alive... barely. He looks to Sidney... through pain...

RANDY:

You know what I hate most about horror

movies? The final scene... it just

goes on and on... and it gets so

stupid...

Randy manages to stand when a FIGURE COMES LEAPING at him,

completely unexpected... it's Stu... barreling into him...

they fall back into the living room. Sidney grabs the gun

next to Billy and turns to the living room to find...

Randy and Stu rolling across the floor in a head lock,

fighting, both seriously injured... Sid tries to find aim

when a...

HAND GRABS HOLD of Sidney's ankle, toppling her to the

floor... once again she finds Billy on top of her...

IN THE LIVING ROOM

Randy and Stu pound at each other, beating and clawing...

ON SIDNEY as she fights viciously, attacking with everything

she's got...

Randy is desperately trying to pry away from Stu... he grabs

hold of the television set and tries to pull himself off the

floor out of Stu's clutch...

His hands find the top of the TV... the VCR... he yanks on

it, gripping it with his hands, bringing it around with force --

CRASHING the VCR into Stu's head. Stu drops.

ON SIDNEY as she digs her hand into Billy's open chest wound.

He CRIES OUT BLOODY MURDER. Her other hand brings the gun up

to his face... but he head buts it out the front door...

suddenly a flash of silver appears above Sidney.

Billy has grasped the butcher knife... he rises it high above

Sidney ready to strike... when a bullet RIPS THROUGH THE

FOYER striking Billy knocking him back into the living room.

Sidney looks up to see...

GALE WEATHERS, holding the gun in a death grip as smoke rises

above the gun's chamber.

Sidney sits up as Gale moves to her, helping her. Their eyes

meet. A life truce.

INT. LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Billy and Stu lay face up, head to head. Sid and Gale move

over them, staring down. Randy joins them.

RANDY:

Sid, you found me out... I'm a virgin.

And pretty happy about it right now.

Sidney nudges their bodies. They both stir.

RANDY:

Careful. This is the moment when you

think the killer's dead, but then he

springs back to life for one last

scare.

Sidney grabs the gun from Gale.

SIDNEY:

Not this time.

She positions her foot on Stu's chest and aims.

SIDNEY:

This is for my Mom, a**hole.

She SHOOTS him in the forehead, a clean and perfect shot.

The she aims the barrel at Billy who's eyes suddenly open,

blinking up at her, blood bubbling from his lips. He's not

yet dead. Their eyes lock.

SIDNEY:

And this Billy stud-bucket is for

having an incredibly small weenie.

She FIRES another perfect shot. They're both goners.

Sidney drops the smoking gun, standing silent over the bodies.

A quiet moment when suddenly...

FIGURE LUNGES AT THEM

Both Sid and Gale and Randy SCREAM in epic, final scare

proportions as Mr. Prescott leaps forward, still bound and

gagged.

Sid catches her breath, relaxing.

SIDNEY:

Oh Daddy...

She rushes to him, untying him... while Gale moves to the

bookcase and retrieves the hidden camera.

GALE:

I wanna close-up.

Randy appears by Sidney's side, helping her untie her father.

RANDY:

This is probably an inappropriate

moment, but you think you'd want to

maybe go out with me sometime...

like on a date?
