Scream 4 , A Dying Scream
Scene 1 : - It is the dead of night at this peaceful home in the suburbs of
Northern California , everyone in the house is asleep apart from a young girl
lying on the sofa in tears - she can't sleep. She's numb.
Fade in on SIDNEY PRESCOTT - her eyes are red , bleary and bloodshot , she
appears to have been crying for hours.
Enter Bedroom.
GALE: (shakes Dewey awake) Dewey! Dewey! God Dammit! Dewey!
DEWEY: (mumbles wearily) What? What's wrong Gale?
GALE: Should we go and check on Sid?
DEWEY: What do you mean we? What time is it?
GALE: Um , wait a sec. (reaches for her bedside alarm clock) 2.45
DEWEY: What! (shocked) She's just been sitting there for nearly five hours.
GALE: Yes Dufus Riley , Why d'you think I suggested that we go and check on her?
DEWEY: I dunno , but come on let's get to it I've only got 3 hours til work
starts.
The old door creaks loudly causing Sidney to turn around as Gale shuffles
sheepishly from the bedroom.
SIDNEY: (angry) What do you want?
GALE: To help.
SIDNEY: I can't believe you and Dewey did that to me , was it some kind of a
joke?
GALE: No Sid , we just wanted to see exactly what the movie was like.
SIDNEY: Could you not spare my feelings.
Dewey appears from the bedroom , his face all wrinkled up like a puppy dog.
DEWEY: Sid we're sorry , it wasn't the sorta thing friends are meant to do , we
promise it'll never happen again. Are we forgiven.
Sid takes a long pause , the red patches under her eyes are beginning to fade.
SIDNEY: (smiles weakly) You're forgiven.
Scene 2 :- At another house in the hills of Northern California , this time a
family home. The parents are in the living room watching a romcom , a little
three year old boy is sleeping in his bedroom and a girl of 12 in her bedroom
watching Stab with two friends.
Fade in on the girl and her two friends in the bedroom watching STAB.
GIRL 1, RORY: Gees , they call this stuff R rated , it's pathetic.
GIRL 2 , SAMMY: I know it's just the same old plot , same old characters. Might
aswell make our own movie , it'd be simple enough.
RORY: How would we make our own movie?
SAMMY: Well we just get a video camera y'know and act all giddy and run up the
stairs screaming , that's all this is.
GIRL 3 , KAELA: Shhh! Some people are trying to listen to the movie.
The three girls laugh and continue to watch the film , despite it being what
they called a load of bullshit. It was compelling - but not genuinely scary.
Ring!Ring! The phone rings in the living room.
KAELA: Oh my god , who's that.
RORY:(fixated by the movie) Who's what?
KAELA: The phone??? Did you not hear?
RORY: It'll just be my gran , she usually phones this time on a Friday.
Over to living room.
MOTHER: Hello? Mom?
VOICE: I'm not mom
MOTHER: Oh (shocked) I'm sorry! No it's ok we don't wanna switch our long
distance provider , we never call out of California! Thanks anyway see ya!
The phone rings again.
MOTHER: Hello , mom?
VOICE:(angry) No this is not your mom and I ain't asking about your long
distance provider either!
MOTHER: Well who are you then?
VOICE: Come on , be original! Why'd you have to say who are you , why can't you
say something else!
MOTHER:(scared) Oh ok , try this. Dial someone else and leave me the fuck alone!
Back in the bedroom.
SAMMY: Rory , you mom sounds mad.
RORY: (She dismisses the idea and puts another piece of popcorn in her mouth) Oh
it's nothing out of the ordinary.
The phone rings again. It rings for a while before it is answered.
KAELA: Oh Holy Shit! Kaela buried her head in her hands and sounded as if she
was crying.
RORY: Hang on , Iet's pause the tape and see what's going on.
Rory , Sammy and Kaela crawl towards the door and open it ajar and peer through
to see what's going on in the living room.
Her father answers the phone , he is annoyed but not yet scared. Her mother is
slowly becoming terrified , her black mascara running down her cheeks.
FATHER: Yeah , hello JACKASS , you pathetic little man , got nothing better to
do than terrorise innocent people at 2.45 in the morning , on a FRIDAY!
VOICE:(enraged) Yeah you think you're funny now , but will you be laughing when
you're GUTTED AND IMPALED ON YOUR OWN WEATHER VANE!
FATHER:(shocked) And just exactly how do you know we have a weather vane?
VOICE: Cos from where I am , I have a perfect view of it , you get me? TIME TO
DIE DADDY!
FATHER: Holy Shit!
Nothing happens for a short while , say about five minutes or so. Meanwhile back
in the bedroom.............
KAELA: Rory , your dads gonna die! We might die too!
RORY: Jesus K , it's just a prank call. We can't tell we don't have caller ID!
KAELA: But how do you know it's NOT a prank? Huh?
Rory looked puzzled and switched the television set off. Back in the living
room.................................
MOTHER: Well Neil , shouldn't we get the kids and drive down to the Harvey's
house?
FATHER: No , Melissa it's probably just a prank you know!
CRRRRRRRRRASH! A plant pot from outside comes flying in the patio door.
MOTHER: AAAAAAAARGH! Rory stay in you room! Block the door.
Back in the bedroom.
SAMMY: Come on girls , you heard her.
They sat and pushed all their weight against the door , they did not know what
was going on in the Living Room , they were confined to the bedroom. Kaela was
hysterical.
KAELA: We're all gonna die and I'm never gonna see my mom or my dad or my sister
again!
RORY: OH Jesus K! SHUT UP! If our life is at stake crying ain't gonna help.
SAMMY:(nodding frantically) Come on , Rory's right. Just keep pushing on the
door come on.
The three girls can hear terrible stabbing noises from outside the house.
RORY: Oh my god. MOM! DAD!
She flung the bedroom door backwards and ran into the living room. There was no
one there. There was thick crimson blood spattered all over the fresh ivory
walls , the berber cream carpet was stained by blood too.
RORY: MOM! DAD!
She ran faster than she'd ever ran before , she searched her gardens searching
for her mom and dad , she looked up at the roof and screamed an ungodly ,
piercing scream.
RORY: Oh my god! DAD! UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEGH! Her face creased up and tears
rolled down her cheeks. Her stepfather was impaled on the weather vane. She had
never seen anything so disgusting in her life.
Her dad wasn't her biological father , he had married her mother three years
ago. Her little brother , Josh was their son. She used to be called Rory Martin
but ever since her mother married this guy , she was Rory PRESCOTT.
MOTHER: Rory!
She heard a weak scream , a Dying Scream she called it from films she had seen.
Where the victim only has enough strength in them to utter one last word.
RORY: MOM! She ran down the huge ditch into her sunken garden , where there
were only dead flowers and grass. Her mother had been stabbed in the chest , she
was bleeding , she was dying.
RORY:(kneeling at her mother's side) Mom! Mom! Don't worry mom! Everything's
gonna be ok! You'll be fine! Mom!
She said it , but she sure didn't mean it and she knew it wasn't to be.
A scream came from the house as a shadowy figure carried her little brother Josh
into a Land Rover and drove off. The little boy screamed until the car pulled
out of sight , her mother was into her last seconds of life. She was very nearly
dead.
MOTHER: Rory , do me a favour , this is the only thing I'll ever ask you again.
RORY: What is it Mom? Rory broke down into tears , she held her mothers hand
tight. So tight that she could not bear to let go.
MOTHER: Get your brother back , please. Then the end came for her mom.
Rory entered the Living Room where Kaela and Sammy were standing with looks of
both curiosity and fear upon their faces.
SAMMY: Should we go home Ror?
RORY: No , stay , please. I could use company. Did you see what the guy did with
Josh?
SAMMY: No , sorry. He came in and out through his window. Aren't you gonna call
the police.?
RORY: Nah , I'm just gonna look through my mom's address book to see if my
gran's number is in there.
Rory flipped through the pages of the little black book , she couldn't find her
grandmother's details anywhere. The only entry that stood out was this one:
IN THE EVENT OF ANY EMERGENCY :
Sidney Prescott Unknown Stepdaughter
Call: 555 - 1896 Address: 55 Hillside Road.
RORY: Holy Shit!
SAMMY: What?
RORY: I have a sister! A stepsister!
Rory bounded outside towards the family car , put the keys in the ignition and
sat in the drivers seat , she put her foot down and reversed to speak to Sammy
who was waving and pleading with her not to take the car.
SAMMY: Rory! You don't have a license! You're 12!
RORY: Seeya later Sammy (she smiled a false , worried smile) I've gotta find
Sidney PRESCOTT.
The opening sequence plays , this shows the main cast , whilst playing Youth of
America by Birdbrain.
Scene 3 :- Back at the home of the Prescott-Riley's in the suburbs. Sidney is
awoken by a screech of brakes from the road leading to her residence.
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeek! The brakes
screeched.
SIDNEY: Shit! What the hell?
She peered out of her bedroom window to see a young girl of no more than 13
climbing out of an old Mercedes.
SIDNEY: (whispering) What the fuck?
She clambered out of bed , still half asleep. Her hair messed up and in her
face. Her eyelids half closed. She heard a frantic screaming noise coming from
the gardems.
RORY: Sidney! Sidney Prescott! Hello! Is there someone here called Sidney
Prescott.
She ran to the gate and attempted to open it.
RORY: SHIT! Security Code!
Rory was really panicking now , the reality that she had lost her mother and
stepfather had hit her.
RORY:(tearful) Sidney , Sidney can you hear me?
Sidney rushed out of her front door to her front gate where Rory was standing ,
her face covered in red blotches and her hands soaked with blood.
SIDNEY: Oh my god! Are you okay?
RORY: No , not really. Who are you? Are you Sidney Prescott?
SIDNEY:(sympathetically) Yeah , who are you? How'd you know my name?
RORY: Your father is DEAD!
SIDNEY:(shocked and upset) My father? How do you know?
RORY: He married my mother , two years ago.
SIDNEY:(angry)Two years ago? He never told me? I never knew! Now he's dead.
How'd he die?
RORY: He was stabbed , (mumbles) then impaled on a weather vane.
SIDNEY: Come again?
RORY: He was impaled on a weather vane.
SIDNEY: (brings her hand to her mouth) OH my god!
She breaks down in a sea of tears , she falls to the floor.
SIDNEY: Wait a minute! You're my stepsister.
RORY: Yes , may I come in please , Sidney?
SIDNEY: Sure (she taps in a security code and the intercom makes a buzzing
noise) It's Sid by the way.
RORY: Okay , Sid!
Rory smiled in what seemed to her like ages , but it wasn't really.
They went inside Sid's House.
RORY: Nice place!
SIDNEY: Shhhhh! There are other people in here!
RORY: What other people?
SIDNEY: My friends. Gale and Dewey , They're engaged.
RORY: OH! Congratulations to them! You a bridesmaid?
SIDNEY: (laughing sarcastically)I don't even know if I'm going!
RORY: But they're your friends!? I think!
Rory hadn't even known Sid ten minutes but she was always a bit of a busybody ,
she caught it off her stepfather.
SIDNEY: I know but I just prefer to keep a low profile.
RORY: Do they know you're not going?
SIDNEY: Course they do , I told them I didn't feel like it and they understood.
RORY: Could you do me a tiny weeny favour?
SIDNEY:(slightly suspicious) Sure. What is it.
RORY: Well could you drive me to my house to pick up my friends. So they can
stay here?
SIDNEY: Wait a minute? I'm confused. Where exactly do you live?
RORY: Just a couple of blocks away? How'd you think I made it here without a
license?
SIDNEY:(uses her left arm to massage the back of her neck) Really? So all this
time when I've been thinking my father was some way away he's been 2 blocks
away. 2 god damn blocks away! Why didn't he tell me!
Sidney suddenly errupted into a rage and flung one of her wicker end tables over
, Rory sat in shock , she began to feel Sidney's pain as if her feelings had
been transferred to her automatically. Rory began to wonder where her father
was. He just left one day. Who knows whether he was alive or dead? Rory and
Sidney - despite being no means related - did look similar to eachother. They
both had long shiny dark brown hair and sparkly deep brown eyes. And this
certain look on their faces that spelled sensitive - but tougher than you think.
RORY: I know how you feel. I don't know where my real father is right now
either.
RORY: So what do you say? Can my friends stay here too? They've had almost as
traumatic a night as us!
SIDNEY: Sure , just don't be too noisy. I was 12 once.
RORY: Great. It'll be like a sleepover - we can watch a movie too.
SIDNEY: Uh-uh. Rory , it's 3:30am and I'm so done with movies for the night.
RORY: Yeah , come to think of it , so am I. Bad idea!
SIDNEY: Come on I'll take my car this time.
The two strong girls were talking as if nothing had really happened that night.
They got into the car and sped down the country lanes to Rory's street. Where on
her doorstep , Sammy was comforting a distraught Kaela.
KAELA:(blubbering) Where's Rory? I'm so pissed off , I want my mom!
SAMMY: Quit the whining , here they come.
Rory ran out of the car as it was still moving , and rushed to Sammy.
Rory hugged Sammy.
RORY: Are you alright?
SAMMY: Yeah I'm fine , but Kaela over there is a nervous wreck.
RORY: I'll deal with her , you get in the car.
Rory walked over to Kaela , who was sat on the doorstep in her blue nightgown.
RORY: How are you , Kaela?
KAELA:(managing to smile) I'm alright I guess , there's no reason for me to cry
if you're not. Where are we going anyway?
RORY: To my stepsister's house.
KAELA: You have a stepsister , what's her name?
RORY: Sidney. Sidney Prescott.
KAELA: Holy Shit!
Kaela suddenly leapt up and ran to the car and parked herself in the front
passenger seat , though that was where Rory was meant to be sitting.
(Inside Car)
KAELA:(eager)Hey. You Sidney Prescott?
SIDNEY:(confused) Yeah , couldn't you just call me y'know Sid or Sidney , you're
making me sound like an actress or something , y'know I don't like that.
KAELA: But you're Sidney Prescott! I mean the Sidney Prescott of Woodsboro!
You're practically famous round here!
Sidney broke down , she bashed her head against the steering wheel in an upset
rage. She didn't realise that every 15 year old in the country knew who she was.
RORY: (sliding the car door open and whispering) Kaela! What the hell did you
say you idiot!
KAELA: I told her she was famous , she's the Sidney Prescott , you know , can't
you remember? Does Stab ring a bell?
RORY: Holy Shit! Really! I totally forgot! But I knew that name from somewhere.
Rory's mind suddenly switched back to watching the film.
RORY: You didn't happen to see what the dude who killed my mom and dad was
wearing did you?
SAMMY: (butting in) We only saw him from the back , it was like a black cloak or
something.
RORY: Shit! FUCKING SHIT!
Rory got into the front seat of the car while Sid tried to compose herself as
she revved up the engine.
SIDNEY: Come on you guys , Gale and Dewey will be wondering where I've been.
SAMMY: Who are Gale and Dewey?
KAELA: They're the people we just saw in St-
RORY: Shhhhh! Shut up K!
They reached Sidney's Hillside house , the girls were beginning to get tired ,
they had had no sleep at all. Sidney was slightly weary aswell , having slept
for only a very short time.
They walked through the door , the girls were muttering to eachother.
SIDNEY: Shhh!! Hang on I just need to see if my friends are awake.
She tiptoed quietly towards Gale and Dewey's bedroom door as the three girls -
all in their pyjamas closed the door gently.
SIDNEY: Gale? Dewey? You awake? She switched the lights to a dim level.
DEWEY: Sidney? You okay? What time is it?
SIDNEY: It's about 3.45.
DEWEY: You sure you're okay , you look a bit pale.
SIDNEY: Haven't really noticed.
DEWEY: Come on Sid , you know me , you can tell me what's up.
SIDNEY: (blubbering) My dad's dead.
DEWEY: Dead? Sid what happened?
SIDNEY: Long story. I know it's early but you wanna come into the kitchen I'll
make coffee!
DEWEY: Yeah sure , I've only got 2 hours until I'm on call.
SIDNEY: Wake Gale will you?
Dewey shook Gale gently.
DEWEY: Gale? Gaaaaale?
GALE: Huh? What?
DEWEY: Sid's making coffee? You want some?
GALE: Yeah , sure? What time is it.
DEWEY: It's just gone past 3.45
GALE:(sits up) Jesus , Sid. Are you okay? You look a wreck?
SIDNEY: I'll explain later , just come to the Kitchen.
Gale pulled on her towelling robe as she and Dewey followed Sid into the kitchen
where Rory , Sammy and Kaela were sat at the table drinking Hot Cocoa and
whispering occasionally.
GALE: Whoa! Attack of the pre - teens? Who are they?
RORY:(butting in as Sid tries to speak) Hi , I'm Rory Prescott. I'm Sidney's
stepsister , I'm 12 years old , I go to Woodsboro Junior High , Her father Neil
is dead and these are my friends who were meant to be staying over at my place
but-
GALE:(interrupting) Whoa , whoa , wait a minute. What was that about Neil
Prescott?
RORY: He's dead. Unfortunately.
GALE: And you're Rory Prescott , so , that means Neil Prescott was married to
your mother , who is she?
RORY: Well my mother was Melissa Andrea Martin , but she was killed at the same
time as Neil.
GALE: So Neil is dead? (Gale turns to Sid and puts her arm on her shoulder)
Jesus , are you okay?
SIDNEY: I guess.
RORY: (butting in again) Oh yeah , Sidney , I forgot to ask , do you wanna phone
your mom? Or if you give me her number I'll phone?
Sidney began to cry and massage the back of her neck with her left hand.
RORY:(puzzled) Sid? Was it something I said?
SIDNEY: My mom's dead , Rory.
RORY: Jesus , I'm sorry , I didn't know , was it recent?
SIDNEY: No , no. She's been gone for some years now.
Sidney broke down in tears as Gale figured out how to pick up the conversation.
GALE: Have any of you girls ever read the Woodsboro Murders.
SAMMY: Yeah , that was a great book it was by some chick named Gale Weat- Holy
Shit! Is that you?
GALE:(laughing) In the flesh!
SAMMY: Your book is brilliant! It's about - Oh - Sorry Sid - I get you now.
SIDNEY: Yeah , okay. Great. I'm officially an orphan now.
Gale and Dewey went back to bed after making themselves two cups of coffee.
Sidney stayed in the kitchen and talked to Rory , Sammy and Kaela about general
things and the night's events.
SIDNEY: So , um , are you not upset that your mother's dead. I sure was when I
found her butchered on the floor. I was only 16. A bit older than you , Kaela.
RORY: I can't really see the point in dwelling on it. My mom's dead. My little
brother's been kidnapped. I just gotta find a way to get him back.
SIDNEY: How old is your little brother.
RORY: Well he's only my half brother - he's three.
SIDNEY: Half brother? So he's my half brother too! Is that what you're trying to
tell me?
RORY: Yeah , I'm sorry Sid.
SIDNEY: Why didn't he tell me anything! She said angrily. Jesus! Shit!
Sid stormed out of the kitchen and flopped down on her bed. The girls headed
upstairs to the guest bedrooms by themselves.
Scene 4 :- It is the morning about 8am , and the girls have just woken up and
are coming down the stairs. Sidney is making an English breakfast and appears to
have forgotten all about the events of last night. She is clearly in denial.
SIDNEY: Hey , um , would you like some sausage or toast?
RORY: Nah , it's ok I'm not hungry. You guys?
KAELA: Nah , I've got to phone my mom and tell her about everything. My stomachs
turning just thinking of it.
SIDNEY: Yeah , I know how you feel. Sammy?
SAMMY: I'll just have some toast. Kaela's getting her mom to phone my mom. I
hate using other people's phones.
SIDNEY: Ok ,um, thanks , I'll go get your toast.
They finished their breakfast and Kaela had phoned her parents. Sidney , Sammy
and Rory were sat at the table in anticipation.
SIDNEY: So what did your mom say?
KAELA: She said thank god you're alive and some other shit , send my love to
Rory and that she saw a Land Rover going at 80mph down our street at about 3am.
RORY: Did she see the license plate?
KAELA: Shit! I didn't think to ask her that , I'm sorry Rory.
RORY: Don't sweat it.
KAELA: I'll go get a shower if that's ok with Sidney.
SIDNEY: Yeah , that's fine.
KAELA: Great , my parents are coming to pick me up at ten. She runs up to the
guest bathroom.
Rory started to stare down at the kitchen table and twiddle her thumbs , her
eyes started to water slightly.
RORY: My parents will never come to pick me up from anywhere again. I'll never
see my mom. If only I could find my real father somewhere.
SIDNEY: Hey , don't think about it. Just think yourself lucky to be alive.
SIDNEY: Oh yeah , I've been meaning to ask you , did any of you happen to see
what the killer was wearing.
RORY: No I didn't , I was too busy tending to my mum. Sammy? I think you saw him
didn't you?
SAMMY: Well , all I saw was a few torn ends on a long black cloak. Couldn't see
his face.
Sidney brought her hand to her mouth , and made deep gulping noises. She leant
against the kitchen sideboards and stared out of the window over the hazy hills
of Califronia.
SIDNEY: (screaming) Jesus Fucking Christ! It's happening again!
She became hysterical and screamed so loudly that she woke Dewey and Gale up ,
she had nearly brought Sammy and Rory to tears with fear.
Dewey ran out of the bedroom.
DEWEY: Sidney , I heard screaming , are you ok?
Dewey opened his arms to Sidney. Sidney hugged Dewey and cried on his shoulder.
SIDNEY: Dewey! It's Ghostface! He's on the loose again!
Rory looked curiously at Sammy.
RORY:(mouthing) Ghostface?
SAMMY:(also mouthing) Stab!
RORY:(aloud) Shit! We're living in a fucking movie. What is life just one great
big movie or something.
Sidney let go of Dewey and looked at Rory in shock.
SIDNEY: That was what he said. (turns to Dewey) That's what Billy said ,
y'remember?
DEWEY: Yes , Sid , I remember. Just think nothing of it and calm down.
There was an awkward silence for quite a long time until ten o clock when
Kaela's parents came to pick her and Sammy up.
DING!DONG! Kaela jumped up out of her seat.
KAELA: That'll be my parents , I'll get it.
Kaela opened the door to her mother , a tall woman with strawberry blonde hair.
JULIA: Oh my god! Kaela , honey , are you okay?
KAELA: Yeah mom , I'm fine! It's Rory that everyone should be concerned about.
Rory didn't like people to feel sorry for her , she'd rather have soccer boots
thrown at her than be pitied.
JULIA:(walking over to the table and kneeling to Rory's level) Honey , are you
okay? I heard all about your rough night. I'm so sorry.
RORY: It's okay Mrs Williams , I'll be just fine for school tomorrow.
JULIA: Well I hope so . Just call me Julia , Mrs Williams makes me feel like an
old woman.
Julia notices Sidney and Dewey trying to sink into the background.
JULIA: I'm very sorry , do I know you too.
SIDNEY:(standing up and introducing herself) Hello , I'm Sidney Prescott , I'm
Rory's stepsister.
JULIA: Oh! Are you the one that Neil used to tell me about.
SIDNEY: I guess I must be!
JULIA: Well it's very nice to meet you Sidney , but I'm afraid we've gotta dash.
Come on Sammy!
She shuts the door and leaves , just like that. Julia had always been quite an
abrupt woman.
Scene 5:- At Woodsboro High and Junior High Campus , the two schools are joined
together on a secluded campus.
Rory is stood beside her locker with her sketchbook drawing slightly eerie
gothic style pictures.
She is approached by a boy who puts his hand on her shoulder and scares the
living daylights out of her.
RORY: Ahhhhh!
JAROD: Hey , whoa , whoa , it's just me Rory , your boyfriend , remember?
RORY: Jesus , Jarod you scared the hell outta me!
JAROD: Yeah , I heard about what happened last night , I never knew that
Woodsboro chick was your sister.
RORY: Her name is Sidney , and neither did I!
JAROD: Did you know she'd escaped death like a trillion times or something.
RORY: Yeah , why?
JAROD: I just think that is totally cool! Can I meet her?
RORY: We can drop by her house after school , it's kinda my place now aswell I
suppose. My house has kinda become an overnight police tape convention.
JAROD:(kisses her gently) You're beautiful AND funny Rory , I'm so glad to have
a girl like you.
RORY: Jarod , you're a total suck up but I love you anyway.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! The bell rings.
JAROD: Love you and leave you , Rory. See ya!
RORY: See ya! (she waits until Jarod is out of earshot) What a total sweetie!
Her two best friends Sammy and Kaela actually attend Woodsboro High School , so
she doesn't talk to them during the day.
Scene 6:- Over at Woodsboro High in the Girls Bathroom
KAELA: So , what did your mom tell you when you got home.
SAMMY: Just that I'm lucky to be alive and not to dwell on it forever. What did
your mom say?
KAELA: She told me never to go within ten feet of Rory Prescott -EVER AGAIN!
SAMMY: Whoa , that is harsh!
KAELA: I know , but she is a bit of a freak , don't you think.
SAMMY: What! Kaela! I can't believe you're saying that! We're supposed to be her
best friends , well , at least I am!
KAELA: Yeah , but , if she can't hear us speaking then she doesn't have to know
, right?
SAMMY: Yes , in your insane world perhaps , but I am Rory's friend and I'm not
talking wrongly of her behind her back , ok?
KAELA: Oh , Sammy. You're so boring.
SAMMY: Kaela , you're being a backstabber , you're two faced , I've never seen
this side of you before , at recess I am running across campus and telling Rory
every word that you've said.
KAELA: Do that then.
SAMMY: How would you like to be stabbed in the back?
Sammy turned and faced away from Kaela.
KAELA: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Kaela let out a blood curdling Scream.
SAMMY: HOLY SHIT!
Sammy turned around to see Kaela's body lying , gutted , on the cold bathroom
floor. Her eyes bloody and red , hr face pale and emotionless. She had literally
been stabbed in the back.
Sammy screamed again and ran out into the hallway.
SAMMY: PRINCIPAL JOHNSON!!! PRINCIPAL JOHNSON!!! HELP!!!
Scene 7:- Recess at Woodsboro Junior High
Rory is sat on a wall with Jarod and two other boys , talking about the events
of last night. Jarod has his arm around Rory. The other two boys are called Erik
and Robert.
ERIK: Was your mom gutted because that would've been such a cool site.
RORY: I really doubt that it would've been a cool site Erik , but no , I don't
think she was gutted. Just stabbed.
JAROD: Why don't you just lay off the questions , she's had a tough ride.
ROBER: Ooh , ok lover boy! Come on let's go Erik.
JAROD: Yeah and don't come back.
Erik and Robert flipped their middle fingers up simultaneously at Jarod.
Rory laughed.
JAROD: (to Rory) Pathetic , aren't they?
RORY: Yeah , wait a minute , is that Sammy over there?
Sammy was walking over to the Junior High Campus with her friend Melanie Blayton
, Melanie Blayton was like the good samaritan of the High School. If someone was
ever crying she was in their with the pocket of Kleenex at lightspeed.
RORY:(running to Sammy) Jesus! Sammy what's wrong and where is Kaela?
Sammy was crying , Rory had never seen Sammy cry before. She was a very tough
girl. Even tougher han she was.
MELANIE: Hi , I'm Melanie Blayton! ( she stuck out her hand waiting for Rory to
shake)
RORY: (shaking Melanie's hand) Yeah , I know you , what's wrong with Sammy?
MELANIE: She's a bit choked up at the moment , I'll be her spokesperson , Kaela
Williams was killeld in the Girls' Bathroom just 10 minutes ago , Sammy was with
her when she as killed. This note was left beside Kaela.
Rory was in shock , she took the note from Melanie's hand and read
it..............
Sidney Prescott , you must return to your childhood home , it is important , if
you go your life may change forever , for the better. From H.L
RORY: Sammy , I'm so sorry. I've gotta go.
Rory ran straight off the campus and about 2 or 3 miles until she reached her
stepsister's home. Jarod called after her.
She knocked furiously on the door.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
SIDNEY: Okay , okay. Hold your horses.
Sidney answered the door to Rory , Rory was red and out of breath.
RORY: I found this! Well , I didn't find it I was given it!
SIDNEY: Well , what is it and what does it mean to me?
RORY: Read the god damn thing!
Sidney read the note and her eyes bulged out.
SIDNEY: Who is this person , and , why do they want me to go to my old home.
RORY: (shrugging) Your guess is as good as mine.
They hopped into the car and drove back into Woodsboro , they got out of the
car. Sidney was flooded with memories of Tatum , Randy , Stu , Billy , her
father , her mother.
RORY: Whoa! You used to live here! Nice!
SIDNEY: Yeah , nice , I guess.
RORY: You don't sound so enthusiastic.
Sidney ignored Rory and stared at the mysterious piece of paper again.
SIDNEY: How did you get this. I don't even know an H.L?
RORY: Kaela was murdered , in the girl's room. The killer left this note.
SIDNEY: Oh my god. Are you okay?
RORY: Yeah , but I wish I could say the same for Sammy.
SIDNEY: How is she?
RORY: In a bad way. She saw everything.
SIDNEY: Poor girl , I know how she feels. I've seen many people butchered , so
to speak.
RORY: So , shall we? She signalled towards the front door.
SIDNEY: Yeah , come on.
The door had been left open , deliberately , the old mailbox outside that once
said Prescott on it , now said nothing. It was so remote that estate agents
probably hadn't realised it had been abandoned. But who by? Why? Sidney started
to get a headache.
The door creaked as Sidney gently pushed it open , there was a note stuck in the
keys box , beside the door.
SIDNEY: Oh great , another note. She handed it to Rory You read it.
Rory read the note , it was slightly confusing , like a riddle.
Where mon fils unique once climbed through the window , in the cupboard their
lies a present for you.
From H.L
RORY: Sid did you ever take French? We haven't really done any languages yet.
SIDNEY: Is there something in french on that note?
RORY: Not sure. Looks like it.
Sidney took the note from Rory and read it , puzzled.
RORY: Do you know what it means.
SIDNEY: I don't know what the first bit means , but I understand it. Come on ,
lets go up to my old room.
Sidney and Rory wound up the spiral staircase towards Sidney's old room. They
entered her room. Not a single thing had changed since her High School days.
SIDNEY: Wow big de ja vu. Anyway , the cupboard , hmmmm what's in the cupboard I
wonder. ( she said sarcastically) Any ideas , Ror.
RORY: None , actually.
SIDNEY: My guess is that it's another note.
Sid opened the door , she screamed. They both screamed. Not only was there a
little white piece of paper taped to the back of the door but inside the
cupboard , the cowl neck of her cream jumper nailed to the top shelf , she hung
like she had once when she was strung from the top branches of a tree. The noose
that was once bound around her neck had been removed for ceremonial purposes.
Was Casey Becker.
SIDNEY: (breaking down) Jesus Christ!
RORY: Who the hell is that?
Sidney chose to ignore Rory and swiped the next off the back of the door and
read through it quickly.
He thought he was clever , he thought he was smart , he once inhabited his
office but now , your kitchen pantry is where he lives forever. H.L
SIDNEY:(frustrated) Who the fuck is H.L , I don't know an H.L?
RORY:(following her down the stairs) I couldn't tell you! I don't know one
either.
SIDNEY:(angry) Shut up Rory , it was a rhetorical question.
Rory shut up , but still followed her stepsister into the kitchen and to the
pantry.
SIDNEY:(reaching for the doorknob and whispering to herself) Please God , don't
be Mr Himbry. Please God , don't be Mr Himbry.
Sid swung the door open , and to her utmost fear , it was her High School
Principal , Mr Himbry. She screamed and fell back onto the Kitchen Counter.
The phone began to ring , Rory decided to answer as Sid was in no fit state to
talk on the phone.
Rory walked out into the hallway and answered the phone.
VOICE: Hello.
RORY: Hello , who is this.
VOICE: You tell me and I'll tell you.
RORY: Look , now's not the time , if you wanna play dumb call some dumbass chick
, bye now. She is about to put the phone down.
VOICE: Is your name Sidney Prescott.
RORY: Hehehe. Funnily enough , it's not.
VOICE: OK , then. It wouldn't happen to be Gale Weathers would it?
RORY: You're not very good at this game are you?
VOICE: Alright , third time lucky. Your name is Rory Prescott , isn't it.
Rory suddenly froze cold. Who was he and how did he know she was here?
RORY: What if it is?
VOICE: Ah , it is isn't it.
RORY: Maybe. Thats all I'm saying. Maybe.
VOICE: I'll take that as a yes.
VOICE: Do you like Scary Movies , Miss Prescott?
RORY: Whats it to you?
VOICE: I don't know , just wondering.
RORY: Maybe.
VOICE: What's your favourite Scary Movie.
RORY: Stab , I watched it for the first time the other night.
VOICE: Oh , I don't think I've ever seen that one before.
RORY: Oh well it's about-
Rory was cut off
VOICE: I know what it's about , Rory.
VOICE: How would you feel if you died tonight . Rory.
Rory was frightened for about a split second.
RORY: That's a stupid question , I wouldn't feel anything If I'm dead.
VOICE: Oh , clever , little girl. Why don't you come on outside.
RORY:(curious) Oh , okay.
She opened the front door and walked out onto the veranda.
VOICE: Do you have a boyfriend , Rory?
RORY: Yes , why do you ask? Is it really any of your business?
VOICE: Maybe , in some ways.
RORY: What kinda ways?
VOICE: Lets just say I conversed with him.
RORY: Oh , you did?
VOICE: Yes , I did.
RORY: Oh , ok , can you tell me his name?
VOICE: Jarod Weberley.
VOICE: Would you care to come around the back , Miss Prescott?
RORY: My pleasure. She said sarcastically.
Rory shrieked a longing , bone tingling shriek as she saw Jarod's body , his
insides on the outside , hanging upside down and swinging from the veranda.
Rory shook her head as she tried to calm Sid down as she cried all over the
kitchen worktops.
RORY: Sidney , look I'm sorry about your Principal and all but we've gotta get
the hell out of here.
Her daydream about Jarod had made her more cautious and suspicious.
The phone rang again , but this time Sidney composed herself and reached for it
before Rory could answer.
SIDNEY: Hello
VOICE: Hello , Sidney
SIDNEY: Oh , how I love the sound of a familiar voice
VOICE: Ah , yes , the Prescott wit. Very funny. Not.
SIDNEY: You know that mask you're wearing , it's not scary , it just makes you
look like the stupid cretin you are.
VOICE: How do you know I'm wearing a mask.
SIDNEY: Please. You don't get chased for almost a decade without learning a few
tricks.
VOICE: Yes , but this time it's different. This time it's personal. This time
I'm after you Sidney.
Sidney gulped and put her hand over her mouth as if she was puking , she handed
the phone to Rory.
RORY: Hello , who are you. What the fuck do you think you're doing.
VOICE: Hello , who might you be. You don't sound like Sidney to me.
RORY: Maybe that's because I'm not you dumbass.
VOICE: Do you like puzzles?
RORY: Why , why do you ask.
VOICE: I've got a bit of a puzzle here for you. You may not be aware , but
someway up the stairs , is someone and no other , who you may know as your
brother.
Rory dropped the phone and ran up the stairs, followed by Sid , and then at the
top her half brother lay , blood soaked , his eyes red , his Thomas the Tank
Engine Pyjamas ruined. Sidney took the phone again.
SIDNEY: What have you done. You have murdered an innocent child. I thought you
said it was personal , I thought you were after me.
VOICE: Oh. I am.
Suddenly , Ghostface came crashing through the window that was above the stairs.
Rory screamed and rolled down the stairs out of the way , she stood next to the
front door , opening it slightly just in case they needed to escape quickly.
Ghosface had Sidney in a headlock , he brought a voice changer to his large
gaping mouth.
GHOSTFACE: Do you wanna die Sidney , or do you wanna sacrifice your little
friend here.
Rory slumped against the door and her face creased up.
RORY: (pleading and crying) NO! Sid! Don't give in! Get away!
Sidney brought her leg up and kicked the ghostface in the genital area.
SIDNEY: FUCK YOU!
GHOSTFACE: AAAAAAAAAAH! Christ!
RORY:(hustling Sidney out of the door) Come on , Come on!
Rory slammed the door on Ghostface's head and locked it from the outside. The
phone was still on , Rory brought it to her ear.
VOICE: Quite a fiesty little bitch , aren't you. Now I'm after both of you.
Sidney and RORY Prescott will be dead by the end of the week.
He hung up and the phone beeped. Sidney hugged Rory.
They got back into the car and just sat for a while , Rory was a bit scared ,
whereas Sidney was cool , she had recieved many death threats before.
RORY: I never imagined I'd be dead before 13.
SIDNEY: Yeah (changing the subject) How long have you been dating this Jarod
guy?
RORY: Why do you ask?
SIDNEY: I dunno , just curious?
RORY: A year , almost , I think.
SIDNEY: How tall is he?
RORY:(angry) Please tell me , you don't think it's him. Sidney , you barely know
the guy. He's sweet , childish. He'd never be capable of such a thing.
SIDNEY: No , I wasn't accusing him of anything. I'm just all too familiar with
the boyfriend-killer scenario.
Sidney's eyes started to water a little bit , but she was fine otherwise.
RORY: What happened?
SIDNEY: It's a long story. I don't wanna talk about it.
She put the key in the ignition and they sped back off to Sidney's home. They
got back to the house and got out of the car.
SIDNEY: You'd better be getting back to Campus , do you want me to write you an
excuse note?
RORY: Yeah thanks.
Sidney whipped out a piece of crinkled paper from her pocket. She got a biro pen
out and lent on the bonnet of the car and wrote:
Sorry that Rory Prescott wasn't present on campus this lunchtime , she needed to
come home for lunch due to family problems.
Yours sincerely
S . Prescott
SIDNEY: How are you gonna get back in time?
RORY: If I run to the Bus Stop I should be able to catch it , the kids that come
home for lunch get picked up at this time.
RORY: Oh yeah , I forgot to ask you , where are Gale and Dewey?
SIDNEY: Dewey's on duty and Gale should be back from New York in a couple of
hours.
RORY: What is she doing in New York?
SIDNEY: Working for Top Story.
RORY:(backing out of the gate to catch the bus) Whoa! I never knew that , that
is cool.
Rory hopped on the bus as it took her back to school. Sidney leant on the door.
SIDNEY: Yeah , cool.
Scene 8:- In a Classroom. A demure female teacher in her early 40's is taking a
register.
TEACHER: James Oakley.
A voice from the back of the classroom says 'present'
TEACHER: Rory Prescott.
There is silence until Jarod speaks.
JAROD: I don't know where she is , she just ran off Campus before lunch time.
TEACHER: Well I just h-
Rory comes flying through the classroom door , her face blotchy and her voice
sounding slightly weak.
TEACHER: Miss Prescott , what on Earth do you think you are doing?
RORY: I'm sorry Mrs Tilsley , I have an excusal note.
TEACHER: Thank you Miss Prescott , please take your seat.
RORY: Oh , by the way Mrs Tilsley , I prefer Martin - Prescott.
The teacher raises her eyebrow curiously.
It is after school now , and Rory and Jarod are sat on the bus talking casually.
JAROD: What happened Rory? You usually stay on Campus at lunchtime.
RORY: I know , I know. There was a note left with Kaela's corpse that said
something I thought my sister needed to see.
JAROD: Oh yeah , that reminds me , can I meet your sister?
RORY: Yeah , sure. Don't stick around too long , it's not advisable.
JAROD: Why not.
RORY: She's not so good. All of this crap is like de ja vu to her.
JAROD: Alright. Come on it's our stop.
Jarod practically drags Rory off the bus, but she is smiling happily. Although
come this Friday , she may be laughing six feet under.
Outside Sidney's House.
Dewey is back from being on call and Gale is about to get back from New York.
RORY: Well what are you waiting for , ring the doorbell.
JAROD: Okay , okay.
DING! DONG! Jarod pressed the doorbell in. Sidney came to the door. Jarod stood
still as if he was starstruck.
JAROD: H-h-hi! Are you Sidney Prescott.
Rory elbowed him out of the way.
RORY: Hey Sid , this is my boyfriend Jarod. He's a bit nuts. Ignore him.
SIDNEY: Okaaaaaay. Hello Jarod.
JAROD: Hi , Sidney.
SIdney shut the door as she shook her head slightly sarcastically. Rory and
Jarod sat on the sofa as Dewey came out of the bathroom and shut the door.
DEWEY: Hey Kids. D'you want something to drink or anything?
RORY: I'm okay , Jarod?
JAROD: D'you have any Diet Coke?
DEWEY: Yeh , in the freezer. I'll be back in a sec.
Sidney sat down on the armchair and attempted conversation with Rory and Jarod.
SIDNEY: So , how are you two?
RORY: We're fine thanks.
RORY: (changing the subject again) Do you have any board games in the house? I
just think it would be fun for us all to play Monopoly or something.
SIDNEY: Um , yeah , I guess we might have. I'll go and check in Gale and Dewey's
room.
Scene 9:- At the William's Residence. A farmhouse in Woodsboro , Kaela's family
have recieved news of her death.
JULIA:(on phone) Ok , Mr Johnson. Thank You. We'll be okay.
RYAN: Honey? Who was that.
JULIA:(screaming hysterically) It was the school principal. Our daughter's dead!
Kaela! Our baby is dead! She starts to cry as Kaela's younger sister enters
the room.
LOUISE: Mummy , are you okay?
JULIA: Just back off Loui , back off. Everyone get outta my sight. It's that
Prescott girls' fault. I bet you it is.
Louise and Ryan back out of the room and lock themselves upstairs , whilst Julia
gets the car and drives down to Sidney's house.
In upstairs hallway.
LOUISE: What's the matter with mummy , are you sure she's going to be okay?
RYAN: I'm not gonna lie to you honey. I'm not sure. It will take a long time.
Ryan knelt down to hug Louise and he cried for Kaela.
Back at the Prescott's house they are sat around the sofas setting up Monopoly.
RORY: Dibs on the thimble.
DEWEY: Damn! I wanted the thimble too!
RORY: There you go , I'll just have the ummm (she chooses) hat!
RORY: Jarod , what are you gonna be?
JAROD: I'm not bothered. I'll have the Iron.
RORY: Ok , and you Sidney?
SIDNEY: I'll have the Scottie!
The doorbell rings.
SIDNEY: (Laughs) Looks like Gale forgot her keys again. Opens Door.
Mrs Julia Williams barges in and starts pointing her finger in Rory's face.
JULIA: You killed my daughter. Didn't you. DIDN'T YOU!
RORY: What! No! She's like one of my best friends! Besides I was all the way
across campus. And I - I , I can't believe you're accusing me of this! It's
insane!
DEWEY:(standing up , confused) Whoa , whoa! Are you guys saying theres been a
murder?
JULIA: Yes! You dumbass! My daughter , my fucking daughter has been fucking
killed. By that little bastard standing right there.
Rory had never been called a bastard before , sure she had been called a bitch
and everything else under the sun. But being called a bastard cut through her
like a knife , she lost all control of herself.
RORY: Fuck You!
She punched Julia in the face and ran outside , she ran for almost a mile down
the road , she decided to sit in a bush and just cry.
RORY:(trembling and whispering to herself) Bastard , bastard? She's the bastard
not me.
Rory could see headlights in the not so distant distance , the horn started
honking. She walked out into the middle of the road and started waving
frantically.
RORY: Stop! Please! Help Me!
A Woodsboro Police Van pulled up , Deputy Riley and his fiance Gale Weathers
clambered out of the car.
GALE:(with big fleece blanket) Jesus , Kid , are you okay? It's cold out tonight
and you're in a T-Shirt.
RORY:(teeth chattering) I'm okay (turns to Dewey) What happened ?
DEWEY: Well we cuffed Mrs Williams , they're keeping her at the station
overnight for falsely accusing you with no evidence. That was good right hook by
the way , kiddo. Almost as good as your sisters.
RORY: What's that supposed to mean?
DEWEY: Well it was a few years ago now , Sidney wasn't exactly Gale's Number One
Fan back then if you know what I mean.
RORY: Yeah , I get it.
GALE: I had this shiner for like a week.
Dewey laughs as Rory stands still , Gale opens the car door.
GALE: Come on Sid and Jarod will be wondering where we got to.
RORY:(getting into back passenger seat) Jarod still there?
DEWEY: He didn't wanna go , he phoned his mom and he's alllowed to stay the
night as long as he stays on the couch. Cool guy. Most of them would just take
off.
RORY: Yeah , I know. (Rory smiled , looking down at the Friendship Ring Jarod
had given her 3 years ago)
They drove back to the house where Jarod was stood at the window , pacing up and
down. Sidney was sat at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee
JAROD: I wonder what's taking them so long , shouldn't they be back by now.
SIDNEY: Don't worry they'll be back soon.
JAROD:(gulping , his adams apple quivering slightly) Your sister , well ,
stepsister , sh - she's one cool girl.
SIDNEY: Yeah , I've barely known her three days but , well , she kinda reminds
me of the younger me , somehow.
JAROD: How , exactly?
SIDNEY: I dunno , just the way she acts , thinks , looks , in some ways.
The door opened , Rory entered , her face blue with the cold , wrapped in a warm
tartan blanket.
JAROD: Jesus , Rory are you okay?
Jarod gave Rory a hug.
RORY: I'm fine , just a little bit chilly , y'know.
JAROD: I'm staying over , by the way.
RORY: Yeah , Dewey told me.
Rory fiddled with her thumbs for a couple of seconds.
RORY: Thanks Jarod , for everything , for staying here with me (she kisses him
on the cheek)
DEWEY: (wearily) I'm pooped , I think me and Gale are gonna be hitting the sack
, I'm on duty again tomorrow.
SIDNEY: Yeh , I think I'll go too , are you two just staying in here?
RORY: Yeah , see you in the morning , Sid , Gale , Dewey.
DEWEY:(standing by bedroom door and entering bedroom) G'Night Kid.
SIDNEY: Night you Guys!
RORY: G'Night!
Dewey and Gale's Bedroom.
Dewey is looking at an old brown leather photo album that he pulled from under
his bed. It has photos of himself , his mum , Sidney and his late sister Tatum
in it.
Gale can hear Dewey snivelling slightly as she walks in from the ensuite.
GALE: Is there something wrong Dewey?
DEWEY:(snivelling) Not only does having Rory around remind me of Sid when she
was younger , it reminds me of Tatum too.
Dewey begins to cry as Gale leans his head against her shoulder.
GALE: It's okay , Dewey. Let it out , let it out.
Back in the Living Room , Rory and Jarod are sat on the sofa thinking of
something to do , because they are not tired.
JAROD: So , have you got any good videos?
RORY: I dunno , I'll check.
Rory flipped down the hatch underneath the TV where the VCR and a few videos
were kept.
There was one video that stood out to Jarod.
JAROD: Hey , Rory? What's that film 6th from the right.
RORY: Hang on , ummmmmmmmmm. Ah - ha! Oh great! It's Stab 3 , I have been so
wanting to see this!
They put Stab 3 in the VCR and the title card played , Jarod got the fleece
blanket and wrapped it round Rory and himself. Rory felt safe next to Jarod , so
she snuggled into him as they watched the film. When the film had finished ,
Jarod was already asleep. She left him on the sofa and went to bed in her room.
IN Sidney's Room , all the lights were off. She was not yet asleep , she
recognised the Stab 3 Title Card - having been subdued to watching it a few
nights ago.
She cried , there was a wet patch on the sheet covering her mattress.
SIDNEY:(whispering to herself) When will it stop? When will it stop?
Scene 10:- The next day at Woodsboro High School. Sammy Bryant and Melanie
Blayton are at Choir Practice with several other students.
(They are singing a song called Autumn Days)
MISS ANDREWS: (prompts them to stop) Okay , okay. You're sounding flat , I wanna
hear you sing to me. I wanna hear highs and lows and flats and sharps. Ok , try
this. Boys sing the low flats and girls sing the high sharps , okay?
They reply and begin to sing again.
The phone at the back of the classroom rings.
MISS ANDREWS: Okay , everybody take five , I've gotta take this call.
She picks up the phone , she is a small black woman with a big voice.
MISS ANDREWS: Hello?
VOICE: Hello , can I recall you saying sharp?
MISS ANDREWS: Who is this and what hell y'all talking bout?
VOICE: You said you wanted to see sharps and flats , remember?
MISS ANDREWS: I - I have no idea what you are talking about.
VOICE: Okay then.
The person on the other end of the line plays back her voice saying I wanna hear
highs and lows and flats and sharps , she screams.
MISS ANDREWS: Everybody , Code Red , use the emergency door , get outside.
MISS ANDREWS: (to phone) Now where the hell are y'all cos when I find you I'm
going to whack your ass so hard you won't know what hit it son.
VOICE: Ooh , I'm scared. Anyway , back to the sharps and flats scenario.
MISS ANDREWS: Yeah , what about it.
VOICE: What kinda sharps did you wanna see? A sharp note , a sharp branch , a
sharp knife.
Suddenly the killer jumps down from the ceiling , he has been hiding on top of a
large beam , he grabs Miss Andrews and brings the knife to her mouth.
GHOSTFACE: Sharp Knife. That's what you're gonna get.
He slit her mouth , so it was all red and bloody , she tried to get away but he
managed to grab her , and he slit her throat and stabbed her in the stomach.
Finally he shot her in the chest. She was totally dead now.
Melanie Blayton and two boys came rushing in.
MELANIE: Miss Andrews we heard gunsh-
Melanie saw the killer and screamed. It was again too late for her , rather than
stick up for her , the two boys fled , she was stabbed in the chest and the
killer beat her to death with Miss Andrew's music stand.
GHOSTFACE: Sleep Tight Samaritan!
He suddenly disappeared as one of the boys sounded the Fire Alarm and all the
students from the school filed outside. The Students from the Junior High also
had to go outside.
Rory ran out of the building as the bell rang continuously behind her. A boy
called Evan came up to her.
EVAN: Hey , Prescott. Is this a drill or is it for real?
RORY: I wish I could tell you , but I have no idea.
EVAN:(trying to think of a topic to converse on) So , are you dating that Jarod
dude?
RORY: Jarod Weberley? Yeah. Why?
EVAN: I reckon he's behind those murders , you know , your mom , your dad , your
brother , Kaela Williams.
RORY: (she grabbed Evan's neck and pinned him against a wall) What did you say?
Evan went silent.
RORY:(angry) Huh? HUH?
RORY: Now you take that back. Take that back right now.
EVAN: I'm sorry Prescott , it was just a joke , Jarod couldn't do anything like
that. I swear!
RORY: Now just go away , you bastard.
Evan ran off across the field as Rory peered out to see a distressed figure
running and wailing.
It was Sammy , again. She ran to her so fast she nearrly knocked her over.
RORY: Whoa , Samantha. Are you okay?
SAMMY: It's him. It's him again. Miss Andrews is dead. Melanie's dead. That's
why the alarm went off.
RORY: Wait. Who is Miss Andrews?
SAMMY: My Music Teacher , she was the coolest , but she's gone now. The police
and the ambulances are here. Some dude with dark hair and a moustache was
looking for you.
RORY: Oh, Really? Ok then , I'd better get going. Call me later.
Rory ran over to the High School to see Dewey stood outside a Police van which
had Sidney sat inside.
RORY: Why the fuck is she in there , Dewey?
DEWEY: It's ok , Kid. She ain't done nothing wrong. The police department just
want you two to answer a few questions , okay?
RORY: Okay , but why do they ask now and not sooner.
DEWEY: Beats me.
RORY:(joking and shaking her head) And you call yourself a Deputy.
Dewey smiled as he opened the car door and sat down in the drivers seat as Rory
said hello to Sid.
Scene 11:- At Woodsboro Police Station. Rory and Sidney are in different rooms
being questioned. Sidney is being questioned by the Sheriff and Rory is being
questioned by another Police Officer.
SHERIFF BURKE: Hello Again , Sidney. Long time no see?
SIDNEY: Yeah , I'm getting the worst case of de ja vu ever.
SHERIFF BURKE: I'm sorry to here of your loss.
SIDNEY: I know I'm officially kind of an orphan now aren't I?
SHERRIFF BURKE: We'll try and keep this very short Sidney , we're just a bit
lost for evidence and we hope that you and your sister will be able to help us.
SIDNEY: Okay , (holding her hand above her eyes and snivelling slightly) Can we
just get on with it then?
SHERRIFF BURKE: Where were you three nights ago when the murders of your father
and his wife took place.
SIDNEY: I was , (takes a deep breath) I was on the sofa , I was a bit upset.
SHERRIFF BURKE: Were you aware that your father had remarried?
SIDNEY: No , I wasn't He didn't have the decency to tell me (her speech becomes
a bit wobbly)
SHERRIFF BURKE: Is there anything else you'd like to tell us? Anything at all
Sidney?
SIDNEY: Well , I've been getting these strange notes , she passes one to the
Sherrif.
He reads it.
Where mon fils unique once climbed through the window , in the cupboard their
lies a present for you.
From H.L
He turns to Dewey.
SHERRIFF BURKE: You ever taken French Deputy?
DEWEY: No , Sir.
SHERRIFF BURKE: Do you have any idea who this H.L could be Sidney?
SIDNEY: I have no idea. I don't even know an H.L!
SHERRIFF BURKE: We'll keep a hold of this here note Sidney , we'll get someone
to translate that French and we'll look up every H.L in the Local Area. How does
that sound to you?
SIDNEY: Good thanks!
Meanwhile in the next room Rory is still being questioned by another officer.
OFFICER: Were you friends with Kaela Williams?
RORY: Yes.
OFFICER: Very good friends?
RORY: Yeah , I guess.
OFFICER: Best friends??
RORY: Yes just get on with it god dammit.
He is in the middle of writing something down.
RORY: (under her breath) Gees , whoever made you a police officer.
OFFICER: Hey , I heard that! That's going down too!
OFFICER: Now , I'm here to do my job Miss Prescott , I'd like you to appreciate
that and listen to me.
Rory rolls her eyes and shakes her head.
OFFICER: What was Samantha Bryant's manner when she came to you after Kaela
Williams had been murdered.
RORY:(trying to think back to yesterday , she is so frustrated she can't even
remember) Well , she was in shock , really upset. It was unusual because she is
usually very level headed. I'd never seen her like it before , except from today
of course.
OFFICER: Funny how she managed to be there both times? Was it a coincidence or
something else?
RORY:(tearfully) W - wait? You're supposed to be a police officer you can't go
around making false accusations with little or no evidence. Sammy is totally
innocent and so is Jarod!
OFFICER: Who's Jarod.
RORY: Mr boyfriend.
The Officer smiled a sarcastic smile and started pacing around the back of
Rory's chair.
OFFICER: Why did you bring up his name in that particular statement , Miss
Prescott?
RORY: Well I've had people thinking that just because he's my boyfriend that
they think for some reason that he's the killer but I don't understand it.
OFFICER: Well this town has seen the Boyfriend - Killer Scenario before. It was
back in 199-
RORY: Yes , I know what happened Smart Ass. And I trust Jarod enough to know
that he woudln't kill anybody. And besides he's only 13. He can't even dissect a
Frog in Science Class without his stomach going insane.
OFFICER: And could Miss Bryant?
RORY:(angry) Oh Fuck You!
Rory ran out of the room , her eyes were teary , she ran to Sidney and gave her
a huge hug.
RORY: How did it go?
SIDNEY: Fine. You?
RORY: Terrible. I was stuck with Trainee Boy.
SIDNEY: Lucky me. I got the Sheriff and Dewey.
DEWEY:(butting in) Do you guys need a ride home? I just came off duty.
SIDNEY: Yeah Dewey , that would be good , thanks.
Suddenly Sherriff Burke came bursting through his door , with a number of papers
in his hand.
SHERRIFF BURKE: Is Rory Prescott in here?
RORY: Yeah , she's here!
SHERRIFF BURKE: You're allowed to go back to your house now , Rory. The police
tape has been cut. Just incase you wanna pick up a couple of things , but until
your grandmother gets here you're advised not to stay over at night. It takes a
long time to drive here from Minneapolis so she might be a few more days , we
don;t know.
RORY: Oh , I didn't even know she was coming. Thanks for letting me know ,
Sherriff.
SHERRIFF BURKE: No problem.
DEWEY: Come on , we'll drive down to your house and pick up some things , okay?
RORY: Okay.
They hopped into Dewey's Police Van and drove the short journey to Rory's family
bungalow.
She got out of the car and looked at her house.
RORY: Jesus , this place has changed so much but it looks exactly the same.
They wandered in quietly , there were faded blood stains on the carpet , they
mustn't have been able to clean them out.
RORY: (she signalled to Sidney and Dewey to stay back) Hang on a second , you
guys.
She wandered into her old bedroom. Remarkably , the spotlights were still on ,
they were still angled in the same position. She turned to the T.V and VCR. She
pressed the Eject Button. The Stab Video came out. Everything was still exactly
the same. The Window was half open. And when she entered the door was still in
the flung backwards position.. She looked inside her closet and pulled out a
black suit. It was a designer one her mother had gotten her as a present for
Christmas the previous year. Then she pulled out a lovely Creamy , Satin Dress
which had a lace bodice. She started to cry. She put it back. It held too many
memories.
She walked back into the Living Room - the suit in her hands.
SIDNEY:(oblivious to the fact that Gale and Dewey's wedding was tomorrow) Going
somewhere Rory?
RORY: It's for the wedding tomorrow.
SIDNEY: The wedding. Tomorrow. Holy Shit. I'm sorry Dewey I completely forgot ,
I'll have to Iron my dress.
DEWEY: Hey. I thought you weren't going Sid.
SIDNEY: No , I - I changed my mind what kind of friend would I be if I didn't
attend.
DEWEY: Shucks! (Dewey hugged Sid)
Sid suddenly had a thought.
SIDNEY: You two stay here a second. She looked back
at Rory Which one is your mom's room?
RORY: Just down the hall on the ummmmm left.
Sidney walked down into her dad and Rory's mom's room. She gently pushed the
door backwards. The room was pale peomy and peachy in colour. Big wardrobes
surrounded the bed on either side , there was a huge dressing table and mirror
opposite the bed where cosmetics were strewn all over. There were two beside
units. One side of the bed had male pyjamas folded neatly on the pillow , so
Sidney took the hint that it was her dad's side.
She pulled out the draw on the bedside unit , there was a wallet , Sidney opened
it. There were a few 20 dollar notes and in a pouch inside there was a photo of
her , and a separate one of Rory and Joshua. She was a bit sad that there was no
photo of her mom , there was a picture of Melissa in a frame on top of the unit
though.
She reached her hand further back into the drawer , she could feel two picture
frames. One was big and the other farely small. She looked at the big one. IT
was a picture of her age 16 with her mom. They were both smiling. Then she
looked at the smaller frame. It was her mom on her own , smiling away at the
camera. Almost cherubic in a way , how could anyone call this woman a slut bag
whore. Sid pulled herself together.
SIDNEY: (moving her hand across the photo) Never judge a book by it's cover Sid.
Never again.
The door knocked and Dewey opened it.
DEWEY: Come on Sid , we'd better go , Gale's waiting for us.
SIDNEY: Okay.
Sidney took the photo. She walked back out into the Living Room.
Rory looked puzzled.
RORY: Why have you taken the picture of your dad's sister? Shouldn't you just
leave it there.
SIDNEY: Wait a minute? You say sister?
RORY: Yeaaaaaaaaaah. And?
SIDNEY:(angry and upset) This is my mother. Did my dad say this was his sister.
RORY: Yes.
SIDNEY: Well no. This is my mother. Maureen Prescott. I don't have a photo of
her on her own , and this is just lying there without a purpose so I thought I'd
take it.
RORY:(unconcerned) Okay , whatever.
They piled back into Dewey's car and drove back home where Gale was waiting on
the sofa wondering where they had been. They walked in the door , Dewey first ,
follwed by Rory then Sidney.
GALE: Dear God , Dewey. I thought something bad had happened (leaps into his
arms) You okay sweety?
DEWEY: Yeah , I'm fine.
GALE: I am soooo excited for tomorrow , I just can't wait , it's gonna be
perfect.
DEWEY: Even if we hadn't spent all that money , it'd still be perfect.
GALE: I know , it just make its extra special.
She looks over to Sid and Rory stood on the doorstep.
GALE: Hey this is your home too you know , come in.
RORY: Sorry , my mind just went a bit blank and I froze.
GALE:(ignores her in a polite way) You okay Sid?
SIDNEY: Yeah , yeah I'm fine.
She places the framed photo of her mother down on the glass coffee table.
SIDNEY: Much better.
GALE: What was that Sid?
SIDNEY: What? Oh , it's not really important.
GALE: Okay.
Dewey sits down on the leather sofa with his glass of Orange Juice.
DEWEY: So , Gale , you having your party here tonight?
GALE: Yeah , so you'd better be out of the house.
DEWEY: I'm gonna be hanging out with the guys at the station.
GALE: Okay! (switching to Rory) Rory is whatshisname coming with you?
RORY: Is whatshisname Jarod?
GALE: yeah , whatever.
RORY: Yeah , I told him to come.
GALE: Good , cos there ain't gonna be many people your age there.
RORY: I know. I figured.
GALE: Are you gonna be at the party.
RORY: Yeah I'll stick around but I'm not exactly gonna be the life of the party.
GALE: And you Sid?
SIDNEY: Yeah I'll be here , I'll probably just stick with Rory.
GALE: Okay. Oh , kid , I herad abotu what happened at school today , brutal
isn't it?
RORY: Yeah I know.
GALE: Oh! Sorry! Gotta dash! I've gotta be there stat! Top Story! See Ya!
Sidney shook her head and flopped on the other sofa.
Scene 12:- It is the morning now. First we close on a picture of the Prescott-
Riley's Living Room , there are Beer Bottles and Sprite Bottles all over the
floor , streamers strewn about and there was even toilet paper on the floor.
Then we fast forward a few hours to Sidney standing at the mirror in her
bedroom. She is wearing the Long White Dress that she had worn to her High
School Prom. Although she could never make it to the Prom , Tatum had given her
this dress a number of months beforehand. It was beautiful. She had attended her
Prom alone though.
It was very simple. It was backless and had straps at the top. But it was
nothing compared to Gale's. Her wealthy parents had paid $4000 for it.
Sidney had left her waving tongs on the dressing table she picked them up to do
her hair for it was looking slightly flaxen today. She took a silver locket out
of her closet and clipped it around her neck. It had a small picture of her mum
inside it. She smoothed the skirt part of her dress with her hands and flipped
her hair slightly before exiting her room.
Dewey was sat on the sofa , he looked like he had Cold Feet.
DEWEY: Sid , you look great.
SIDNEY: You're not so bad yourself , nice coverbun.
DEWEY:(embarassed) Gale said it would be a good idea for me to wear one.
SIDNEY: (She laughed gently) Have you seen Rory anywhere Dewey?
DEWEY: She's in her room I think.
SIDNEY:(walking towards Rory's door and knocking.) Rory? Can I come in?
RORY:(from inside) Yeah!
Sidney walked in , Rory was stood with a small black clutch bag wearing her nice
black suit with a plain white t shirt underneath
RORY: Something wrong?
SIDNEY: No , I was just wondering if you were ready cos we're gonna get the car
and drive round to Jarod's.
RORY: Yeah , I'm ready , Let's go.
Sidney and Rory walked back out into the Living Room.
DEWEY:(standing up) You guys ready?
SIDNEY: Yeah , we're ready.
DEWEY:(shouting) GAAAALE!
GALE: (from Bedroom , her mother is helping her get ready) YEAH?
DEWEY: We're gonna go? When's your dad coming?
GALE: In 20 Minutes! Are you going now?
DEWEY: Yeah! See you later honey!
GALE: You too , cutey!
GALE'S MOTHER:(faintly in background as Sid , Rory and Dewey exit) Don't slouch
Galadriel Evelyn Weathers. That's not how I brought you up.
Sidney , Dewey and Rory are driving down to Jarod's house. Rory hops out of the
car as it is still half moving and runs to the door. She rings the doorbell.
Jarod's older sister answers.
PEGGY: Hey , Ror. He'll be down in a second he's just looking at himself in the
mirror.
They both laugh.
PEGGY: Who's wedding is it again?
RORY: My stepsister's two best friends are getting married.
PEGGY: Oh okay , he has been up all morning y'know showering , washing his hair
, honestly , he's even more fussy than I am.
Rory laughed again , she had always been friends with Peggy. She was a pretty
girl next door kinda person but she didn't care about boys. She spent most of
her time sitting out in the back yard in the hammock reading some novel like
Catcher in the Rye or Wuthering Heights.
PEGGY:(yelling up stairs) Yo , Jarod! You're holding everyone up!
Jarod comes flying down the stairs and almost bashes into his sister.
JAROD: See y'later Peggy.
PEGGY: Have a nice time squirt.
She half shuts the door and then opens it again.
PEGGY: And BEHAVE!
JAROD: I will.
RORY: Jarod , you sister is so cool.
JAROD: Yeah , as far as older sisters go , she's okay.
They clambered back into the car and sped off to Woodsboro Parish Church.
Scene 13:- At the picturesque Woodsboro Church.
Dewey is stood beside the altar with the Priest and his best man , Sherriff
Burke. The church is divided into the Bride's side and the Groom's side.
On Dewey's side you can see:
Sidney, Rory , Jarod , His mother , His father , Several Police Officers
including Officer Sherman , who interrogated Rory. Some more relatives and
friends and right at the back is Martha Meek , Randy's sister.
On Gale's side you can see:
Lots of her relatives and friends , and some of her televison crew. Not many
recognisable people.
The ceremony is about to begin , Martha Meeks runs down to the front.
MARTHA: Hey Sid , how you doing?
SIDNEY: Oh my god , Martha!
They hug.
SIDNEY: I'm fine , what about you? (she peers at Martha's face) Are you wearing
contacts or something.
MARTHA. Yeah (panics) Why? Are they visible?
SIDNEY: No , I'm just not used to seeing you without them at all.
MARTHA: Anyway , You look fantastic and it is so nice to see you , I'd better
get back to my seat , See ya!
SIDNEY: See ya , Martha.
They both sat back down in their seats.
Word got round that Gale had arrived in the Wedding Car with her father , maid
of honour and bridesmaids.
The camera closes in on Martha Meeks at the back.
MARTHA:(to her friend beside her) I'm just gonna go to the toilet , ok?
Her friend nods in recognition.
Gale enters the church followed by her mother and two sisters as bridesmaids.
Her niece is her flowergirl and her father is latched onto her arm ready to give
her away.
The organ starts to play the wedding song as she marches down the aisle.
Gale and Dewey smile at each other repeatedly as she marches down the aisle. As
she is just about to reach Dewey and stand beside him an odd note is played on
the organ and the funeral song begins.
A huge gasp is heard from the wedding goers.
Gale and Dewey look horrified , then the intercom can be heard.
GHOSTFACE VOICE: You fools , coming to this wedding was a death wish , didn't
you know that. All the people I want dead in one room , you've made it far too
easy.
Stand up Sidney Prescott , Rory Prescott and Jarod Weberley. The crowd gasps
again and turns to see which people are standing up.
GHOSTFACE:(angry) I can't see you standing , stand you god damned idiots.
GHOSTFACE: Anyway , I wanna play a little game with you all , now stand up or
die.
Sidney turned to Rory who was a bit frightened. Jarod was totally puzzled and
tears were dripping from his eyes.
SIDNEY:(standing up and yelling at the top of her lungs) Hey You! Yeah you!
Wherever the hell you are! You're pathetic , you can't even show your face when
you murder anyone , I mean how wimpy?
GHOSTFACE: I'd sit down Miss Prescott , before you die.
RORY:(standing up and yelling also) Die? You're 1 person against the god knows
how many there are in this building , someone is gonna see , and someone is
gonna unmask you while your head is turned , and you may kill that person , but
think , another person who may be near the door has seen your face and runs a
mile to the Police Station to turn you in , I guess you need to plan a bit more
shithead.
GHOSTFACE: Forgetting something , Miss Prescott? The police are off duty today ,
they're all in this building right now , they are of no help.
SHERRIFF BURKE: (pointing a gun around in any direction) Yeah but we're still
armed asshole.
The killer broke their link with the intercom , he graciously accepted defeat
for now. The camera points back to Gale and Dewey.
GALE: Oh great , thats put a downer on everything. Maybe it just wasn't mean to
be Dewey.
She is about to walk off , tissue in hand , but Dewey grabs her arm before she
can go anywhere.
DEWEY: No. Gale. We've waited three years for this day. If we really love
eachother enough we can overcome this whole thing. Just let the Revirend do his
job and we'll go of on our honeymoon as man and wife. Please. Let's not ruin it
for everyone.
GALE:(touched by Dewey's words) I've never heard yuo say anything so meaningful.
(Turns to Priest) Let's get this show on the road.
PRIEST:(to audience) Can we return to our seats and be silent please.
Martha Meeks slid back in through the door and sat down in the vestibule next to
her friend.
MARTHA: Did I miss anything.
Her friend shakes her head , she is more concerned about the wedding than
anything else.
PRIEST: Dearly Beloved. We are gathered here today to join Dwight Riley and
Galadriel Evelyn Weathers in their union of Holy Matrimony.
Gale looks embarassed as Dewey giggles quietly.
DEWEY:(whispering) Galadriel?
The Priest gives him a rude look and continues.
PRIEST: Dwight Riley. May you repeat after me.
I , Dwight Riley , take you Galadriel Evelyn Weathers , to be my lawfully wedded
wife , my partner in life and my one true love.
DEWEY: I , Dwight Riley , take you Galadriel Evelyn Weathers , to be my lawfully
wedded wife , my partner in life and my one true love.
PRIEST: I promise to love you and cherish you , help you and guide you , in all
of our lifetime together , in sickness and in health , til death due us part.
DEWEY: I promise to love you and cherish you , help you and guide you , in all
of our lifetime together , in sickness and in health , til death due us part.
PRIEST: Now Galadriel , will you repeat what Dwight has vowed to you.
GALE: I , Galadriel Evelyn Weathers , take you Dwight Riley , to be my lawfully
wedded husband , my partner in life and my one true love. I promise to love you
and cherish you , help you and guide you , in all of our lifetime together , in
sickness and in health , til death due us part.
PRIEST: If anyone has any reason why these two should not be united in Holy
Matrimony , please declare it now , or forever hold your peace.
The crowd went silent , Gale sighed with relief.
PRIEST: Do you Dwight Riley take Galadriel Evelyn Weathers to be your lawfully
wedded wife?
DEWEY: I do.
PRIEST: And do you , Galadriel Evelyn Weathers take Dwight Riley to be your
lawfully wedded husband?
GALE: I do.
Dewey reaches into his pocket , for the gold band that he places gently on
Gale's "ring finger" , then Gale takes the ring that has been held securely in
her sweaty palm and slides it on Dewey's "ring finger".
PRIEST: I now pronounce you man and wife , Dwight , you may kiss the bride.
Dewey and Gale kissed eachother passionately , his mother and father started
crying , her mother and father started crying. Rory and Jarod sat and clapped.
Sidney was so moved and so happy that they were finally together she stood up
and whistled as they let go of eachother and started beaming in every direction.
We then move outside , to Rory and Jarod walking along in a field behind the
church.
RORY: It's so beautiful today , it's like Stab and a cheesy romcom rolled into
one.
JAROD:(still in shock from the whole Ghostface incident) What the hell was going
on in there? What did it have to do with me? I dunno what my mom would say if
she heard I was getting death threats! That stuff can scar you for life.
RORY: Yes , I know that. I've been through worse these past few days , (she
starts to snivel and cry) and - and I'm expected to deal with it and just
continue like nothing's happened , do you know how hard that is for me.
Jarod rolls his eyes.
RORY: Oh yeah sure , like you'd understand , I mean it's even worse for Sid ,
this shit has been happening to her for almost a decade. She can't escape her
past no matter where she goes. Put yourself in her place.
JAROD: Why should I do that? I'm fine in my own place.
RORY: Jarod , let's move away from all these crowds. We need to talk.
Rory drags Jarod out of the gate and they start to walk through a field with
really tall grass.
JAROD: So , what exactly is it we need to talk about?
RORY: Things are just too messed up at the moment. I can't balance my life out ,
I haven't even visited my mother's grave yet because I haven't had enough time.
I keep re living the complete scenario in my head. It's terrible. I can't sleep.
I can't eat. I can't. (she pauses) I can't love.
Jarod stops walking.
JAROD: Rory , what are you trying to say to me?
RORY: If you let me finish , my mum is dead , my step dad is dead , my brother
is dead , one of my best friends is dead. Who's next? You? Me? Sammy?Sidney? Who
knows. I'm worried that I won't have anyone left. Do you understand?
JAROD: Sorta. I'm a little confused.
RORY: Well , something is telling me, I don't know what exactly but something
is telling me that if I break up with you now , we'll make it through this shit
, and then we can get back together afterwards.
JAROD: Oh great. So you're just dumping me for now. Come back later sorry the
Rory store is closed.
RORY:(crying) Look , this is hard for me aswell you know. It's not all sunshine
. lollipops and rainbows for me either. I've had to think about this all night
yesterday. I haven't had 2 hours sleep. Please Jarod , I really , really ,
really love you with every ounce of my heart. But I couldn't bear to lose you.
JAROD:(looking down at his shoes)I thought we'd be together forever you know. In
70 Years time I envisaged us sitting on the porch drinking prune juice on our
rocking chairs.
RORY: And that might still happen. I can't promise anything but it might still
happen. Anyway we've gotta get back to the church , picture time!
JAROD: I think I'll just walk home.
RORY: You sure?
JAROD: Yeah.
He takes his Friendship Ring off his finger.
JAROD: Guess I don't need this anymore do I?
RORY: What? No no no no no no no no. You keep it. It's okay.
Jarod walked away with a faint smile on his face. Rory suddenly felt an
emptiness. She ran back to the Church where Sidney was looking for her.
SIDNEY: Hey , I've been looking for you. Where were you?
RORY: I - I was just down in that field with Jarod.
Sidney noticed a tear running down Rory's cheek.
SIDNEY: Something wrong?
RORY: Well , we broke up , it was mutual , he didn't dump me , I didn't dump
him. It's all good. We're still friends.
SIDNEY: Hmmmmmmmm. If you say so. Come on , they're getting the group together
for one big picture , where is Jarod anyway?
RORY: He had to split , he's gone home.
SIDNEY: Oh , okay.
(Cue Stacie Orrico's , (There's Gotta Be) More To Life)
It is Gale and Dewey's After Wedding Party. Sidney and Rory are sitting in the
bathroom talking , it is empty and quiet whereas the Reception Room is huge and
buslting.
Sidney is sat on the floor and Rory is perched on top of the counters.
RORY: Have you got any ideas as to who this Psychopath is?
SIDNEY: I wish I had , but my mind's a blank , I officially have no idea. Again.
RORY: I don't get why everyone thought it was Jarod , this tub o lard boy in my
school called Evan was accusing him and he barely knows him. He couldn't even
remember
his surname.
SIDNEY: Theres not much point in judging what you don't know.
There was an awkward silence for a few seconds.
SIDNEY: I'm sorry for kinda accusing Jarod the other day , he seems like a
really nice kid.
RORY: Yeah.
Rory sniffled a bit but she managed not to cry.
Meanwhile back in the Reception Room. A young , pretty , blonde girl turns up at
the door. Gale answers to her.
GALE: Hello? Who are you? Is your name on my list?
PEGGY: No Mrs Riley , it's not. My name is Peggy Weberley and I'm looking for
Rory? Rory Prescott?
GALE: Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm , I think she's in the Bathroom.
PEGGY: Okay , Thank You very much , Mrs Riley.
GALE:(to herself) What a sweet little thing!
Peggy walks down the corridor to the Bathroom where she sees Sidney and Rory sat
looking slightly miserable.
PEGGY: Hello? Rory?
RORY: Hi Peg , what are you doing here?
PEGGY: Well I was a bit worried when Jarod came home on his own , he had his
Friendship Ring in his hand and was crying quite hysterically. He says you broke
up with him , he told me why and I thought it was valid enough but he didn't
seem to think so.
SIDNEY:(standing up and dusting herself off) Just a cse of the broken heart I
guess. He'll get over it.
PEGGY: Well that's why I've come here. I don't think it's gonna be that easy for
him. You've been in his room before haven't you Rory?
RORY: Yeah , why.............................
PEGGY: Can you recall there being black spray paint on the walls reading PAIN
RULES.
RORY: Noooooooooooooooo
PEGGY: And decapitated teddies strewn over the floor.
RORY: Holy Shit , No! What's gotten into him?
PEGGY: You'd better come with me. The party must be over anyway , people are
leaving.
RORY: Okay , Lets Go. See Ya Sidney!
SIDNEY: BY Rory! Be home by 12 , okay?
RORY: Okay!
Sidney walks out into the Reception room where Gale and Dewey are tidying up.
DEWEY: Hey Sid , where's Rory gone?
SIDNEY: She went with Jarod's sister out the back. Poor Guy. She dumped him and
he's flipped out.
DEWEY: Why'd she dump him? He seems like a cool kid to me?
SIDNEY: I dunno , I really have no idea.
Two hours later , it is half past 12. Sidney has fallen asleep on the sofa. Gale
and Dewey left quite a while ago. She is on her own now.
The Phone Rings.
SIDNEY:(wearily) Hello , Woodsboro Chapel Hall , who is this?
VOICE: Hello , Sidney.
SIDNEY: How do you name my name is Sidney?
VOICE:(like a little child watching pantomime) Cos I can see you!
Sidney turns around to see Ghostface stood in the corner.
SIDNEY:(she still has the phone to her ear although she could talk to Ghostface
without the phone) Who Are You?
GHOSTFACE: Your old school buddy remember?
SIDNEY: Yeah I remember , but I killed you three times over , who the hell are
you this time.
She hangs up the phone and talks to them straight.
SIDNEY: Well? If you had the guts , you'd show me? Wouldn't you?
Ghostface goes quiet , whoever is under that mask is shy and not particularly
good with words.
GHOSTFACE: You answer me a simple question and you get to take off the mask?
SIDNEY: Easy. What's the Question , Mr.Ghostface?
GHOSTFACE: What are my initials?
SIDNEY:(laughing) You made that too easy. H.L! The notes , remember?
GHOSTFACE: Sorry , thats the wrong answer , time to die
Siiiiiiiiiiiddddddddneeeeeeeeeey.
Sidney jumps over the couch onto the Karaoke Stage and holds up a huge speaker.
SIDNEY:(holding the speaker , it is so heavy it makes her tremble) You want me
to throw this at you? Huh? Do you? DO YOU?
Suddenly the killers voice changes to a slightly gawky female voice.
FEMALE: No! Please! Please don't! It's too heavy! I admit! It would kill me! I'm
not indestructable.
Sidney's face turns shocked and confused.
SIDNEY: Where do I recognise that voice from? Dammit? Think , Sid! Think!
The killer used their jagged knife to lift their mask.
The identity was revealed.
The killer was no other than
MARTHA MEEKS.
Sidney literally dropped the Speaker on the floor.
SIDNEY: Martha? What the-? But you w-?B But you're my fr-?
MARTHA: Yes , it's me good old Martha Meeks. She isn't capable of killing an
insect let alone half a dozen innocent people.
SIDNEY: But why my dad? You barely knew my dad.
MARTHA: Well , I was looking in the Phone Directory for your number , I was only
able to find your fathers so I phoned him and I was just gonna put the phone
down on them if it wasn't you. But they were abusive to me and I guess I got a
little lost in the murderous vibes.
SIDNEY:I don't get it? Those notes were signed H.L , you're M.M not H.L!
MARTHA: Ooh! You're sharp! I might not be H.L but my accomplice is.
SIDNEY: You ever take French , Martha?
MARTHA: Just so happens I did , mons fils unique translates into my only son ,
I'll let you take it from there.
Sidney thought for a second , then she became so shocked her eyeballs almost
bulged out of her head.
SIDNEY: H-Hank Loomis?
MARTHA:(laughing evilly) Well Done , Sidney! Hank Loomis , Billy's father and
Mrs Loomis' husband funnily enough , is my accomplice! And he is on standby
right now at Jarod Weberley's house , if you catch my drift.
SIDNEY: But Rory is at Jarod's Ho- RORY!!
Sidney picks up the phone and dials what she remembers as Jarod's phone number.
But there is no dial tone.
MARTHA:(sarcastically) Oh dear , looks like someone cut the wires , what a
shame?
Sidney breathed deeply , there had to be something she could do.
Meanwhile over at Jarod's House. He was sat in the dark corner , sat on a bean
bag , his head in his hands. Rory entered the room.
RORY: Jarod? Hello? Peg sent me over. Jarod?
She saw him looking glum and miserable in the corner. She knelt down to his
height.
RORY: Jarod? It's me. Rory. Remember?
JAROD: Yes I remember you stupid bitch , I don't have the memory of the goldfish
, I haven't suddenly turned into a different person like Reagan McNeil.
RORY: Reagan McNeil?
JAROD: The Exorcist. Remember?
RORY: Hey. I don't have the memory of a goldfish either.
JAROD:(angry) Now you know how it feels. Anyway , why are you here. To pile pity
on me like dirty washing?
RORY: No I was just wondering If we could get back together. I made a stupid
mistake in breaking up with you. Please?
JAROD:(laughing) Me? Go out with you? Why would I ever do that? You're a boring
person with a flat sense of humour and more chins than a Chinese Phone Book.
Rory was deeply upset by Jarod's remarks , she lost all control of herself and
kicked him right hard in the genitals.
JAROD: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh , you bitch.
Peggy was listening in on the other side of the door , she was very upset that
her brother had lost all control of himself.
Back over at the Church Hall.
MARTHA: I couldn't help but noticing from watching several of my elder brother's
videos. That there was one rule my brother forgot to mention. The double whammy
surprise.
SIDNEY: The double what?
MARTHA: It's where you have one surprise at first , which , in this scenario was
me being the killer I mean like y'know who expected that. And then , another
even more SHOCKING surprise.
SIDNEY: Come on then , Martha. Get on with it.
MARTHA: Well , remember the main character never dies rule Sidney?
SIDNEY: Yeah.........
MARTHA: Well say that this were a Scary Movie , who would you say the main
character was besides yourself?
SIDNEY: I - I have no idea whatsoever.
MARTHA: Well it would be Rory wouldn't it.
SIDNEY: If you say so.
MARTHA: I've got a good idea for a shocking ending. Say we were to make an
exception to the Main Character never dies rule.
Martha presses in a number of buttons on her cellphone which connects her to
Hank's cellphone.
HANK:(on the other line) Hello? Martha , is that you?
MARTHA: Yeah , when she comes out you get her , no hesitation. Okay?
HANK: Okay , Martha.
SIDNEY: Nooooooooooo! Don't kill her!
MARTHA: Too late , we've already decided that it'll make the perfect ending to a
Scary Movie.
HANK: She's coming out now , she's just closed the door , she seems upset.
MARTHA: Good , that means she'll be less aware. Sneak on her from behind.
Martha gets Sid to the floor by threatening her with the knife , she forces the
phone to her ear.
Sid listened to Hank grab her sister. She listened to her sister scream.
RORY: Sidney! SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDNNNNNNNNNNNNNEY! She screamed the so
called Dying Scream.
SIDNEY: Rory! Get away! Get away!
It was too late , the knife got her sister , she was well and truly dead. She
had to listen to every single bit of skin and flesh being ripped apart. She felt
sick. She felt ill. She blacked out promptly as Martha made the perfect escape.
It is now a week later , we can see three pairs of feet walking along a path ,
people are talking.
DEWEY: Which Row are they all?
SIDNEY: Somewhere in the middle , on the left.
Sidney , Dewey and Gale crouch down in front of a group of Gravestones. Reading
from Left to Right.
Stuart Macher , William Loomis , Deborah Loomis , Randy Meeks , Neil Prescott ,
Maureen Prescott , Melissa Prescott , Joshua Prescott , Tatum Riley , and the
furthest to the right read:
LAURA - LORELAI "Rory" MARTIN - PRESCOTT.
1991 - 2003
Beloved Daughter , Stepdaughter
Sister , Friend and
STEPSISTER.
SIDNEY: It's so sad. It only seemed like 2 seconds ago when I first met her.
DEWEY: You still have us , Sid. Remember that.
SIDNEY: I know. I know. But when will it all stop? Hank and Martha are still
roaming free somehwre.
DEWEY: We'll get them Sid. Don't worry.
GALE: We can't guarantee everything will be alright. Just don't sweat it.
SIDNEY: I just don't get it , so many things have been left unanswered.
DEWEY: Well , it'll make a good fifth installment won't it?
SIDNEY: I hope not.
( Cue Michelle Branch's You Set Me Free , picture fades.)
Gale and Dewey were all Sidney had left now. She tried to forget about
everything , but her past still lingered behind her forever.
THE END.

Scream 5 , The past will come back to bite you in the ass.
A house. Not a particularly nice house. A semi detatched home next to many
others. Cut to RORY PRESCOTT whispering to a girl on the phone , huddled in a
corner next to a bedroom door.
SAMMY: You've gotta get yourself outta there , you're wasting away , you don't
even get a half decent education.
RORY: Don't you think I've tried , every single window and door barred , it's
like the rebirth of Alcatraz.
SAMMY: Why don't you use manipulation.
RORY: This guy is hard shit , honestly he never turns his back for more than a
split second , it's weird here , I barely see an ounce of daylight , I barely
ever come out of my room. (she cries and crumbles) Samantha , I don't know what
to do , I miss you and everyone thinks I'm dead.
SAMMY: I still don't get it , if it wasn't you who was it? I mean they assumed
it was you , they said her face had disintegrated completely when they found her
out in the meadows.
RORY: It was Peggy , Jarod's sister.
SAMMY: Fuck , this is weird shit! Did they not even think to identify you?
RORY: Hello , a couple of local ramblers found Peggy , what was left of her ,
then they went to the police , Sidney had already told them about the whole
phone situation , and hey presto , it was me , apparently they saw it coming .
So they put her Six Feet Under , and got a headstone with my name on it. That
must be so weird going down to that Cemetery everyday and seeing it.
Sammy was beginning to cry.
SAMMY: Rory , I've got to tell someone!
RORY: No no no no no no no no! Don't do that!
SAMMY: Too late , I'm calling the cops.
Click! Sammy put the phone down
RORY: Sammy! SAMMY!
(from downstairs)
MALE VOICE: What's going on up there?
RORY:(whispering) Shit! Holy Shit!
MALE VOICE:(walking up the stairs) I know you're up to no good , what's going
on?
The door opened , HANK LOOMIS looked down upon Rory , her eyes black and blue
her , skin pale , her hair brittle and greasy from lack of respect.
HANK: What are you doing Laura? Why are you holding the phone?
RORY: Nothing , it doesn't matter.
Rory could see the stairway from where she was , there was a gap in the door
that Hank was leaning against , she saw an opportunity that could change her so
called life , so she decided to grab it before it slowly slipped away.
She bit his leg deeply and harshly.
HANK: OWWW! FUCK! Come back you little bitch! I'll get you.
She ran out to the Hallway and shot down the stairs as Hank chased her , she ran
for the door and swung it open with all of her might.
She was outdoors. She took a deep breath , she hadn't been out of the house for
almost a year now.
She continued to run , she flung herself over the gate and ran down the lane
until Hank was out of breath. She gave him the finger.
RORY: Thanks for keeping me in such lovely exile , but I think I'd rather go
home now!
She joked , she was high on freedom spirit. She felt so glad just to be outside
, now where to go was the question.
(TITLE CARD: SCREAM V)
A lovely house in the hills , 2 friends sat out on a deck that overlooked the
beautiful dipping hills.
GALE:(sipping her orange drink) It's great isn't it.
SIDNEY:Yeah , I guess.
GALE:Are you okay , Sid? You just seem a bit distant.
SIDNEY: I'm just thinking. (changes the subject) I'm gonna go take Cherokee for
a walk.
She is just about to get up when Dewey runs out onto the deck , a look of both
panic , shock and happiness on his face.
DEWEY: Sid! SID! You've gotta see the news , it's monumental.
Sidney rushed inside and looked at the TV mesmerised.
(TV)
Reporter: One of last years Woodsboro murders had today brought up a big
question , is this town's police department competent? The last known murder ,
of Rory Prescott , has turned out to be a grave mistake. The killer actually
killed a girl named Peggy Weberley , another Woodsboro local.
SIDNEY: What , but that means-
DEWEY: Yes , Rory is still alive.
SIDNEY: Oh.....My....God. Sid smiled weakly.
Reporter: Miss Prescott made her way to the police station just last night ,
officials have yet to comment but our sources tell us that Miss Prescott has
been kept in exile for over a year by Hank Loomis.He was arrested early this
morning.
SIDNEY: Hank Loomis how could you , thank god they got the bastard.
DEWEY: I don't know how we screwed up so badly , Peggys face had been disfigured
completely , there was no point in trying to identify her , and with the whole
phone scenario you told me about. It seemed dead certain it was Rory.
SIDNEY: I don't understand , she was calling my name when Hank killed her.
DEWEY: It was a phone conversation Sid , she might have been calling your name
but it might not have been her being killed.
SIDNEY: Poor girl , both of them. Being stuck in Hank Loomis's dank house for a
year must mess with your head.
SIDNEY: I wanna see her , I'm calling the police.
It is the morning. Samantha Bryant and her family are sat out by their pool in
their lovely home.
The Phone Rings. Samantha answers.
SAMMY: Y'ello?
FEMALE VOICE: Hi is your brother at home?
SAMMY: Which brother , who is this?
FEMALE VOICE: I'm just his friend , can you get your older brother for me
please.
SAMMY: Wait a sec.
She puts the phone on the table.
SAMMY: Corey , there's some chick on the phone for you.
COREY: Coming. Does she sound hot?
SAMMY: How can someone sound hot you dingus?
Corey picks up the phone.
EVIL VOICE: Hello , Corey.
COREY: Hi , I don't recognise your voice. Who is this?
EVIL VOICE:(trying to think of a name of a Woodsboro High School Student) Maia
Richardson.
COREY:(smiles , Maia Richardson is the prettiest girl in school) Hi , Maia. Your
voice sounds weird.
EVIL VOICE: I know , my phone lines going all weird , anyway , back on track.
COREY: So , Maia , babe , why did you call me?
EVIL VOICE: I wanted to know what your favourite Scary Movie was?
COREY: Stab 2. Why? You're having a party and you wanna know which movie we
should watch?
EVIL VOICE: Maybe.
COREY: What kinda party are you having? Sleepover? Costume? Rave? Pool Party?
EVIL VOICE: Blood Pool Party?
COREY: Come again???
Corey heard faint screaming and thumping noises behind him , he turned around to
see his sister , younger brother and older sister crushed up against the Patio
Door , Ghostface still stabbing them in the back. Blood was everywhere. His
mother and father panicked behind them.
COREY: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Corey ran out onto the Patio
slipped on some blood and went flying into the pool , as he was underwater he
could see his 3 siblings dead bodys sink to the bottom , the water turned bright
red he gasped for breath and came back up. Ghostface was slashing his mother and
father's throats , gutting them horrificly.
COREY:(pulling himself out of the pool) No! Get off them you psychopath.
Ghostface grabbed Corey by the neck and held a voice modulator to his own mouth.
It made a young teenage girl sound.
GHOSTFACE: You're a gullible fool Corey , not the sharpest knife in the box ,
luckily I am.
He pulled his razor sharp knife from his pocket and stabbed Corey in the chest 5
times. He slashed his throat and punched him hard in the face.
GHOSTFACE:(female voice) Have a nice day!
Ghostface grabbed Corey and flung him off the side of his home by the infinity
pool. He fell deep into the hillside, The pool was a bloody red with five dead
carcuses floating in it. Ghostface fled the scene.
Sidney is being held on the phone to the Police Station , she finally gets
through.
SHERRIFF BURKE: Woodsboro Police Department , how may we help you.
SIDNEY: Hey , Sheriff it's Sidney.
SHERRIFF BURKE: I was wondering when you would call Sidney , just to tell you ,
we're keeping Rory at the station overnight. You can come pick her up in the
morning if you want.
SIDNEY: Yeah , would I be able to talk to her.
SHERRIFF BURKE: She's a bit run down at the moment , I don't think it would be a
good idea.
SIDNEY: Ok , Thanks Sherriff Burke. I'll come at 9 tomorrow , ok?
SHERRIFF BURKE: Ok , Bye Sidney.
Sidney put the phone down.
