CUT TO:
INT. PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE - DAY
Kincaid takes control of the situation as Pecard simply just takes notes. First up, TESS MARTIN. We heard her on the phone before but now we get to see her. Your average beautiful girl with wavy brunette hair and piercing green eyes.

KINCAID
Tess, you were the last person to speak to
the victim, is that correct?

TESS
Well... I don't know. I would assume that
she at least talked to one person between
the time she was at her house and to the
gym?

KINCAID
(blank)
I mean on the phone.

TESS
Oh, well... actually, the same goes for
that too.

KINCAID
But you DO acknowledge that you did speak
to the victim prior to her death?

TESS
Yes.

KINCAID
And what did two talk about?

TESS
She had a date that night with this guy
named Louis. I told her to cancel it.
He has some... history for being violent
with girls.
(notices them writing it down)
You don't have to call him up, he's
already out there waiting. He's in
Cinema Club.
(pauses)
Ironic. I try to lead her out of trouble
and instead I... get her killed.

KINCAID
Almost too ironic, Miss Martin.

TESS
Hey, what are you trying to say?

KINCAID
It's just eerie that you would be talking
to the victim on the phone and lead her
directly to the place where one of the
suspects is working to kill her, is all.

BROSNAN
Detective Kincaid, I would appreciate it
if you didn't indicate my students in such
a slanderous way.

Tears start to fall from Tess's eyes and starts balling.

KINCAID
What, what's wrong?

PECARD
She's crying.

KINCAID
I can see that. Why? Why you crying?

PECARD
Presumably because her friend just died...
just a wild guess though.

TESS
You keep calling her the victim! She has
a name you know!

KINCAID
I'm sorry... her name is Mariah. I'm
a little off today, excuse me, I haven't
had my morning coffee.
(clears his throat)
Just those donuts you guys have. Have
you tried the donuts you have in the
cafeteria? Of course, you're here every
day. To not would be an injustice. Which
reminds me - -
(to Principal Brosnan)
- - could we get more donuts? To calm
her down?

Brosnan sighs and exits the office. Kincaid waits for the door to close.

KINCAID
Tess, did you kill Mariah Kimbry?

TESS
No... of course not.

KINCAID
(beat)
Okay. I believe you, you can go.

Tess grabs her bag and exits the room, wiping the tears away from her face.

PECARD
Seriously, that's it, you're gonna let
her go?

KINCAID
I watch a lot of movies. I know bad
acting when I see it.

SPLICE FORWARD - - Louis is now sitting in the hot seat. Kincaid is now up and walking around, hand in his pockets trying to figure out his approach.

KINCAID
You had a date with one of the victims?

LOUIS
Yeah but it didn't go through. Which is...
you think about it, ya know? Maybe she
would still be here if she went with me...

KINCAID
Louis, how have you known the victim?

LOUIS
For awhile. Maybe since sophomore year.

KINCAID
And when did you become romantically
involved?

LOUIS
Just recently. It would've been our
first date.

KINCAID
Do you have any - - history with abuse?

LOUIS
What do you mean?

KINCAID
Abuse. Beating up women.

LOUIS
Of course not.

KINCAID
Than why would there be people claiming
you do?

LOUIS
(scoffs)
There's this stupid rumor going around that
I beat up this girl named Esline. We were
on a date, maybe two months ago at the most,
school had just started back up from summer.
We get back to my house, the entire date
was fine. I turn out the lights, we were
about to... ya know.

PECARD
No, I don't know, why don't you tell us.

KINCAID
Pecard, that's not appropriate.

PECARD
(back to writing)
Sorry.

KINCAID
Go on.

LOUIS
Things are getting a little heavy. And
then next thing I know, one of my little
league trophies falls from the shelf
and hits her in the eye. She doesn't
believe me, she thought I was getting
all S&M with her. Of course, she didn't
agree to that so she instantly called it
abuse. Now, being a girl with a social
standing, I would assume she wouldn't
tell people this incident happened in the
bed so she could keep her reputation.

KINCAID
Did you know any of the other 8 victims so
far in the case? That's including the officers
and the first suspect, Clark Hammer.

SPLICE CUT - - Niley now sits in the chair, twirling her hair.

NILEY
No.

Niley laughs, it's a little inappropriate.

KINCAID
What's so funny?

NILEY
I'm sorry, I just think it's funny that you
would really feel the need to question me.
I'm like... 5'2 and weight 85 pounds. I
couldn't possibly do any of the things that
happened to any of those people.

KINCAID
Jill Roberts was 5'3 and weighed 90.

NILEY
(awkward silence)
That extra inch goes a long way.

SPLICE CUT - - Roy sits down, completely responsive and even trying to out talk the officers.

KINCAID
You received a phone call from somebody
named Mitchell Donner while on the air
with Kirby, what was that like?

ROY
Mitchell, for lack of a better word, is
a freak. He seemed really into Kirby's
situation and it came at an untimely
moment considering what has happened over
the last two days. We banned him from
Cinema Club for being out of line.

KINCAID
Is his irregular out of the regular
personality a regular occurance?

ROY
(eyes nearly cross but he handles it)
No, well, I don't know. He's strange but...
most kids in Cinema Club are.

KINCAID
That coming from the president of the whole
thing...

ROY
... have you ever listened to my show? I
am the least normal person in that room.
(chuckles but stops)
Not to indicate myself or anything.

KINCAID
Can I ask you a personal question?

ROY
Sure.

KINCAID
Do you like Kirby Reed? As in, crush like?

ROY
(sits back in chair, bombed by the Q)
Do I - - have to answer that?

Pecard nods quickly.

ROY
A little. That's not a crime, is it?

KINCAID
She has spunk. I'm sure most of the guys
we interviewed today have a crush on her
of some sort.

ROY
Like who?

SPLICE CUT - - Joseph sits in the chair, almost bored with the situation. His laid back demeanor seems strikingly odd for being in the hot seat.

KINCAID
Your sister... Olivia... she was involved
in the Woodsboro Reunion Massacre?

JOSEPH
That's right. She, uh... was one of the
first to go, I should say.

KINCAID
Were you home when that happened?

JOSEPH
No, at the time I was with my dad upstate.
I came back the next day to help her cope
and go through with the funeral arrangements.

KINCAID
I'm sorry to hear that. How long have you
been in Cinema Club?

JOSEPH
Since it's conception. I actually
introduced Kirby and - - Jill to Olivia.

KINCAID
How much money does your entire household
make in a month?

JOSEPH
I wouldn't know, I don't do the taxes or
anything.

KINCAID
Would you say you're well off?

JOSEPH
We live comfortably, I guess.

KINCAID
What do you think of these donuts?

SPLICE CUT - - Harold is scarffing down a donut.

HAROLD
Fucking amazing!

SPLICE CUT - - Kirby enters the room, Sidney following in behind. Kirby sits down and Sidney leans on the door.

KINCAID
Sidney, you don't have to be in here
for this.

SIDNEY
Well Mark, I'm staying.

KINCAID
Kirby, if you don't want her in here...

KIRBY
(shrugs)
She's cool.

KINCAID
Okay... Kirbiline, do you resent the fact
that you were a victim because of Sidney
Prescott's appearance in town here last
spring?

KIRBY
No, ofcourse not.

SIDNEY
You're seriously going to do this, aren't
you?

KINCAID
I have an investigation to lead. I have
to weigh in all the possibilities.

SIDNEY
She was attacked last night!

KINCAID
But she came out unscathed.

Pecard winks at Kirby. Kirby's grossed out and her face easily shows it.

SIDNEY
You see, Mark, this is your problem.

KINCAID
I'm just doing my job, Sidney.

SIDNEY
Yeah... that's not the first time I heard that.

Sidney exits the room quickly.

KIRBY
Whoa... what's that about, Mark?

KINCAID
Please call me Detective Kincaid for all
professional purposes.

KIRBY
Don't escape the question.

KINCAID
This isn't the appropriate time - -

KIRBY
I was attacked last night and somehow
you're trying to pass me off as Patrick
Bateman, it's a little insulting so
an eye for an eye, you answer my question
now and we'll call it square.

KINCAID
... It's not my place to say. You
should ask her.

Kirby grabs her bag and exits the room. Pecard leans forward.

PECARD
That's everybody... who do you think
did it?

KINCAID
The real question is... who do I think
didn't do it...

CUT TO:
INT. WOODSBORO BATHROOM - DAY
Sidney wipes her nose in the mirror, an old familiar feeling. Kirby enters and smiles politely.

KIRBY
(sighs)
Are you really going to make me ask?

SIDNEY
We have history.

KIRBY
No shit.

SIDNEY
After the Hollywood murders, we became
close. It was friendly at first and then
he started to bring me flowers. Next thing
I knew, it was dates. And soon after that,
an engagement ring. We were planning for
the wedding for about a month until it all
fell apart. Mark started to become a bit
edgy, a little bit more serious. More
like he was when I first met him instead
of the guy I knew who was more relaxed.
His paranoia started to kick in everytime
I left that it came to the point that he
didn't even want me auditioning for the
community theater productions.
(she smiles nervously)
Which might've been fine if he didn't get
so wrapped up in his work and then... I
just couldn't take it anymore. After two
years, we called it quits and tried to
remain friends but - - you know, that never
works.
(sighs)
I guess the real big thing that set me off
though was the way he became so controlling,
ya know? I could handle serious, I can
handle workaholic but... that too. So yeah,
he's been bitter and trying to call me for
awhile. Guess you can't avoid someone for
forever, right?

KIRBY
Oooooh, so that's what happened after Stab 3!

SIDNEY
To think, my boring life chronicled into the
first three Stab films... at least I was
played by Tori Spelling.

KIRBY
(smiles)
Who should play me?

SIDNEY
You can't be duplicated, Kirby. No matter
how hard they try. Once Gale gets her new
book on the shelves, she'll have to come to
you if she wants a decent portrayal.

They smile at each other. THE DOOR OPENS ABRUPTLY. In comes Tess, looking down at her phone. She looks up and notices Sidney.

TESS
Oh my God! Sidney Prescott?

SIDNEY
(smiles politely)
Hi.

TESS
Wow... I mean, hey! This is like... so
cool. Do you think I could get a picture
with you?

SIDNEY
Sure.

They come together in a half hug, Tess holds the phone out with a big smile and snaps the picture. Sidney is a bit uncomfortable with the whole ordeal but she does it to not lead into any confrontations.

TESS
I'm gonna post this on facebook, pronto!

Tess runs for the door and then quickly turns around, heading for the stall.

TESS
Almost forgot I had to pee!

Sidney and Kirby laugh with each other over the incident.
