Barry: Julie, I didn't think you were in.

Nothing happens.

Barry: Julie.

He turns on the lounge room light.

Barry: Julie!

The answering machine starts.

AM (answering machine: Killer's voice:) Hello Barry.

Barry looks around surprised.

AM: If you want to know where I am just follow these 5 easy steps.

Barry: OK.

AM: 1. Open the freezer.

Barry opens it.

AM: 2. Get out the ice-block tray and put it on the bench.

Barry hesitates.

AM: Now!

Barry does so.

AM: 3. Get out a glass.

Barry gets out a glass.

AM: 4. Put 3 ice-blocks in it.

Barry puts 4 ice-blocks in it.

AM: I said 3!

Barry takes one out.

AM: 5. Fill the glass up with water.

Barry does.

Barry: Ok. I've done it. Where are you?

Killer walks in and picks up the drink.

He takes a sip.

Killer: Oh thank you. I was so thirsty.

He drinks some more.

Killer: Thanks Barry. Now could you do me one more favour by standing still while I stab you to death.

Barry: Ahhh!

He runs upstairs.

Killer starts to follow him but stops when he gets to the door.

Killer: It's amazing that nobody ever bothers to leave the house even though we've ran past the door about 5 times.

Killer starts to run upstairs.

Killer: I'd better lock the door in case a murderer comes in or something.

He locks the door.

Killer runs up the stairs.

Killer: Get ready to die red and blotchy man!

Barry grabs the knife out of the killer's hands.

Killer starts running away but stops.
