Scene -1: Daniel's Party

We begin this scene with a knife flying up in the air, ready to stab. It comes down to reveal it being held by a boy, Daniel, who's having a birthday party. His mum and dad are there and three friends. Daniel is cutting the cake.

Dad: Happy birthday son. (He looks strangely at the cake) What's in the icing?

Mum: Just flour, eggs and sugar.

Dad: It looks different.

Mum: Well I don't know why. Except I used a different brand of flour.

She hands dad the box. It reads: UNCLE OSAMA'S FLOUR: May contain traces of anthrax.

Dad: I guess it's alright then.

He takes a bite of the cake.

Dad: Oh.

Daniel: Dad?

Dad looks very red and sweaty. (He has a fever) He groans.

Mum: Honey are you alright?

Black lumps appear on his arms.

Daniel: Oh god.

Everyone steps back. Daniel stays seated next to dad. Dad sways some more.

Dad: Ohhhhhhhhhh.

He throws up in Daniel's lap. Everyone screams or shouts.

Daniel: Oh dad! Somebody get a bucket.

He smoothes the spew off his shirt. Dad sways and then throws up onto the birthday cake. The candles go out. We cut to Daniel's room. He is in sleeping clothes. He closes the curtains (window open though) and turns off the light. We see him enter his bed. We zoom out to see Daniel's bedroom window. Underneath it crouching are Daniel's three friends from the party, dressed in black.

Michael: Norman, he asleep yet?

Norman peeks up through the curtains. Norman: Yep.

Drew: Let's go.

They slowly crawl in the window.

Michael: Ssh.

They slowly walk to Daniel's bed.

Drew: Now!

Norman and Michael hold a struggling Daniel down. Drew pulls a Nerd pack out of his pocket. He puts one in his hand. He drops it in Daniel's throat and covers it with duct-tape. They start taking him off the bed. Norman stops.

Norman: Drew.

Drew: Yeh.

Norman: He's not moving.

Michael: What?

They put him back on the bed. They look at him. He has a large lump in his throat.

Michael: Oh my god, he's choked. Look at the lump in his throat.

Drew: That's his Adam's apple. I put a nerd in his throat. To gag him.

Norman: A nerd?

Drew: He was screaming and shouting, I was just trying to make him quiet. And I thought it would be funny.

Michael goes over to the bookshelf.

Michael: Oh no, oh no, oh god. What are we going to do?

Drew: Let's just leave.

Norman: Are you kidding? We're not wearing gloves our fingerprints are all over the place. Our DNA's everywhere. And it didn't help that you peed in the corner Michael.

Michael: I had to go!

Drew: I know, we'll make it look like something worse happened here.

Michael (crying): What do you mean?

Drew: We'll make it look like he was raped.

Norman: What? No one's going to believe that.

Drew: They'll have to believe it, poor innocent Daniel, cutest and most popular guy in the school-Murdered in a horrible and disgusting way, it's everyone's worst nightmare.

Norman: That's so evil or No, my worst nightmare involves strap-ons.

Michael: I don't want anything to do with this.

Drew: Michael! Daniel's lying on that bed, dead, do you have any idea what that means?

Michael: We can keep his bike?

Norman: That is so not funny.

Michael: I'm being serious. You think he'd let me have his stereo?

Norman: No way, I want the stereo.

Drew: Hey, I killed him, I get the stereo.

Michael: Then I want the TV.

Drew: Let's just move him.

Michael: I don't want anything to do with this.

Drew: Look you don't have to be a part of it, me and Norman will do it.

Michael starts looking on the shelves.

Drew: Let's turn him over.

Norman grabs him.

Norman: His leg's so stiff.

Drew: That's not his leg.

Norman: Oh.

Norman pulls away. Michael opens a card.

Card: (Daniel's voice) Ha, ha stop it your killing me!

Drew: Shut up. Michael: It's last year's birthday card. You know one of those one where you record a message on the sound chip.

Inside the card we see a photo of Daniel, Michael, Norman and Drew. Drew is holding a gun to Daniel's head, Norman is standing above with a noose and Michael has a knife next to his face. They are all pulling silly faces. We see tear drops fall onto the card. He closes the card.

Card: Ha, ha, stop it you're killing me!

Michael: It's like he's here, alive in the room with us.

Drew: Michael! We killed Daniel, we killed the teen dream, deal with it!

Michael opens the card.

Card: (Drew's voice) We killed Daniel, we killed the teen dream, deal with it!

Drew: Shut the card.

Card: Shut the card.

Drew: Stop opening the card.

Michael: The card's closed.

Norman: You two shut up. His parents are just downstairs.

Card: You two shut up. His parents are just downstairs.

Norman: Aaargh!

He grabs the card and chucks it out the window.

Card: (Norman's voice) Aaargh!

It lands on the side-walk. A blind guy in glasses comes up.

Blind guy: Hello.

Card: Hello.

Blind guy: Hey baby! Wanna come back to my place?

Back in the house, they are still adjusting Daniel. Michael is at the shelves looking at Daniel's things. He sees a nice-looking gold trophy. He picks it up.

Michael: That looks nice.

He put it in his pocket and we see his pockets full of trophies and other nice items. Norman: Panties on or off?

Drew: On please.

Norman: Ah!

Drew: What?

Norman: I stepped on his hand.

Drew: Norman, he can't feel it, he's dead.

Drew starts jumping on the bed.

Drew: See he's dead Norman, he's fucking dead!

The door bell rings.

Mum (From downstairs): Daniel! Can you get that?

Michael: Oh no!

Norman: Now what are we going to do?

Drew: Just let me get it.

Drew runs down the stairs and opens the door. The killer stabs him in the gut.

Killer: Oh, (pulls out knife) uh-oh, wrong house.
