The telephone RINGS again. Heather snatches it up.
HEATHER:
Leave us alone, you creep!
VOICE (FILTER)
(beat)
LA Limousine, ma'am. Just wanted you to
know I'm out front.
Julie looks at her with surprise. Heather walks to the front
door and checks.
EXT. HEATHER'S POV THE STREET
A BLACK LIMO idles in the driveway.
INT. KITCHEN/FRONT DOOR
HEATHER:
Uh, sorry. Hang on a minute.
HEATHER closes the door, returns to the kitchen and hangs up
the phone.
JULIE:
Heather, what is it?
HEATHER:
(low)
Dunno. Just have this feeling today...
She bites her lip, then Dylan speaks, soberly, quietly.
DYLAN:
Mommy stay home, then.
He turns and walks into his room. Julie looks at Heather.
JULIE:
He'll be fine, don't worry.
She goes in the bedroom after Dylan. Heater takes a long
breath...then grabs the phone and dials.
MAN'S VOICE (FILTER)
Studio B.
HEATHER:
Hi. This is Heather Langenkamp.
MAN'S VOICE (FILTER)
The car's no there yet?
HEATHER:
No. I...listen, I can't make it in
today.
MAN'S VOICE (FILTER)
(beat)
You're kidding, right?
Heather shakes her head.
HEATHER:
I'm sorry, I can't.
MAN'S VOICE (FILTER)
Listen, dammit.
HEATHER:
I just can't.
She hangs up. Starts for Dylan's room, then the PHONE RINGS.
Heather comes back and picks it up, fully expecting it to be
the studio and dreading it.
HEATHER (cont'd)
Yes?
She reacts, realizing too late she's listening to the HISS OF
STEAM.
VOICE (FILTER)
One two...
She slams the phone down. Stares at the thing like it was a
snake. It RINGS AGAIN. She hesitates. Picks it up finally.
Holds it at a distance for a moment. Then puts it to her
ear.
HEATHER:
Hello?
VOICE (FILTER)
Freddy's coming for yooooouuuu.
She recoils and slams it down! Turns and kicks a chair.
CRASH! Senses someone behind her and whirls to see Julie
standing in Dylan's doorway.
JULIE:
What is it, Heather?
Heather blinks.
HEATHER:
Damn caller.
Julie crosses to her, lowering her voice so Dylan can't hear.
JULIE:
He's started again?
Heather just nods.
JULIE (cont'd)
Sick bastard
(puts her hand over her mouth)
Sorry.
(brighter)
Dylan. He doesn't have a fever like you
thought. Probably just your nerves.
Heather gives her a funny look.
HEATHER:
Nerves?
Julie blushes.
JULIE:
I just meant form the shaker this
morning. I mean, everyone's freaked out
at how many we've been having. Then the
calls.
Heather starts to say something, then the PHONE RINGS again.
She snatches it up and shouts.
HEATHER:
Stop calling me, you sonuvabitch!
VOICE #2 (FILTER)
(beat)
You talk to your agent this way?
(Heather blanches)
And you try to cancel an appearance on
AM/LA at the last damn minute. What the
hell's with you?
Heather sags in dismay.
HEATHER:
I'm sorry, Jerry. I just...can't leave
the house right now.
JERRY (FILTER)
What, you wanna single-handedly bury your
career?! Lose your house, put your
husband and kid out on the street? Or
just give your old agent a heart attack?
Heather slumps.
HEATHER:
Okay, fine, I'll be there. It's just,
the calls started again.
Jerry switches to his commiserative voice.
JERRY (FILTER)
Unfortunately, this kinda crap is part of
the business these days, Heather. Have
you thought of buying a good handgun?
HEATHER:
I've got a five-year old in the house,
Jerry!
JERRY (FILTER)
He's an L.A. kid, probably already has
one.
(laughs)
Call me after the interview, okay?
And he hangs up. Heather looks, sees Dylan staring at her
from his doorway.
HEATHER:
Dylan, I gotta go. Forgive me?
DYLAN:
Bye.
She crosses and gives him a big hug. We see his face over
her shoulder. Lost.
EXT. THE HOUSE - DAY
Heather and Julie exit an attractive house in an affluent
neighborhood.
JULIE:
I'll call the cops for you. You've got
the number on the fridge, right?
HEATHER:
Thanks. Just give them the time he
called. They're keeping a list,
supposedly.
(gives a hug)
Sorry. My nerves are so raw these days.
JULIE:
'S okay.
Julie gives a wave as Heather heads down the walk.
CLOSER ON HEATHER
now eyeing the dark car in the drive, slowing as she sees.
The DRIVER, waiting, holding the back door. A big man, faced
away, head distinctively bald. It could almost be...Freddy.
He turns. It's just a driver, pale-faced and antsy. Heather
gets in.
INT. LIMO/EXT. TV STUDIO - MOVING - DAY
