INT - KIRBY'S HOUSE - NIGHT
Sirens blare down the main road, and SIDNEY enters the front door of Kirby's house. She looks and around, and GASPS when a hand grabs her.
KIRBY
"Look, I'm sorry, it's just me. I tried to call 911, but the landline's dead, and someone smashed the router."
SIDNEY
"I think I got through on my cell."
KIRBY
"Where's Jill?"
They hear a noise, and Kirby rushes them into the basement area.
KIRBY
"There's a room down here, we can lock ourselves in."
They make it to the room, and Kirby locks the door. They hear a banging on the window, it's Charlie.
CHARLIE
"Kirby, let me in!"
KIRBY
"Charlie.."
She runs to the door, and notices BLOOD ON HIS HAND.
CHARLIE
"No, no, no, no, no. I just found Robbie. This- this is his blood. Please.. There is someone else out here, let me in!"
He continues to bang on the window, Kirby is conflicted.
SIDNEY
"If you can't trust him, don't open the door."
CHARLIE
"Oh my god, let me in!" He's panicking.
KIRBY
"Get away from the door, Charlie."
CHARLIE
"Kirby, it's me! Please, let me in!" His words are hoarse, he sounds like he's crying.
KIRBY
"Get away from the door, Charlie!" Her voice shakes.
CHARLIE
"It's me!" He removes his hand from the window.
Kirby shakes her head, trying not to cry.
KIRBY
"I'm sorry, I can't."
CHARLIE
"What the fuck?" They're both crying now.
KIRBY
"I'm sorry." She steps closer.
GHOSTFACE pops up behind Charlie.
KIRBY
"Behind you! Look out!"
Ghostface slams Charlie's head against the door, and Kirby jumps back. He slams his head again, and begins to drag him off.
CHARLIE
"No no no no no! Kirby!"
The porch lights shut off. When they come on again, Charlie is DUCT TAPED to a chair, a piece of tape on his mouth.
KIRBY
"No, oh god no. Please. Leave him alone! Leave him alone!"
Her cell phone rings, Charlie's contact name pops up.
KIRBY
"It's Charlie's phone." She answers it.
GHOSTFACE (O.S.)
"Tell Sidney heads are gonna roll tonight! Tell Sidney it's all because of her. Or maybe she should be in his place. I promise to be quick."
KIRBY
"It's him."
SIDNEY
"Okay, okay. I'm gonna go get Jill, we should be in the same place. Just- Just keep him on the phone. I'll be right back, okay?"
KIRBY
"Let him go, please."
GHOSTFACE (O.S)
"I hear you like horror movies, Kirby. But do you like them as much as him? Forget watching STAB, you get to live it!"
KIRBY
"No! No no no no! He's the expert, it's not me!"
GHOSTFACE (O.S)
"Warm up question; Jason's weapon!"
KIRBY
"Uh.. uh.. it's a machete!"
GHOSTFACE (O.S.)
"There, ya see? You do know the genre. Michael Meyers!"
KIRBY
"Uh.. Butcher knife!"
Charlie is struggling against the chair.
GHOSTFACE (O.S.)
"Leatherface!"
KIRBY
"Chainsaw! Please!"
GHOSTFACE
"Just ask Sidney if you need some help. Freddy Krueger!"
KIRBY
"Uh.. uh.. Razor hands!"
GHOSTFACE
"Name the movie that started the slasher craze. Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House on the Left, or Psycho?"
KIRBY
"Psycho."
Her drunken state has disappeared, she's scarily sober, and alert.
GHOSTFACE
"None of the above! Peeping Tom, 1960, directed my Michael Powell. First movie to ever put the audience in the killer's P.O.V."
KIRBY
"Wait, what? No no no no, just ask me one more question! Just one more!" She's shaking. Charlie's life depends on her.
GHOSTFACE
"Alright, Kirby, then it's time for your last chance question. Name the remake of the ground breaking horror movie in which the villain-"
KIRBY
"Halloween, uh, Texas Chainsaw, Dawn of the Dead, the Hills Have Eyes, Amityville Horror, uh, Last House on the Left, Friday the 13th, a Nightmare on Elm Street, My Bloody Valentine, When a Stranger Calls, Prom Night, Black Christmas, House of Wax, The Fog, uh, Piranha. It's one of those, right? Right?"
All is quiet, Charlie has stopped shouting and moving. Ghostface hasn't spoken.
KIRBY
"I got it right. I was fucking right."
She exits the room and walks outside, and starts to work on undoing Charlie's bonds.
KIRBY
"I won, Charlie, I won. He tried to beat me but I fucking won."
She rips the tape off of his mouth.
KIRBY
"Almost there, just hang tight."
He glances at the bushes, nervous. Finally, all the tape is undone, and he gets up.
CHARLIE
"Kirby?"
KIRBY
"Yeah?"
He pulls out a hidden knife.
CHARLIE
"This is making a move."
Without hesitation, he PLUNGES the knife into her. Kirby GASPS. He pulls out the knife, it's covered in her blood. She gasps for breath, holding onto Charlie.
CHARLIE
"Four years of classes together, and you notice me now? You stupid bitch! It's too late!" He stabs her again for good measure. She's struggling to breathe, her breath coming out in short gasps.
CHARLIE
"Shh, shh. I know, I know. It's okay. It doesn't happen as fast as it does in the movies, I know." He's eerily calm about the whole ordeal.
KIRBY
"Ch-Charlie." She struggles to speak,
He's distraught, and pushes her off of the blade. Blood seeps on the ground, and she holds her stomach, gasping for air. She needs to call for help…
END SCENE.
