Scene 3: The Reunion

The front door bursts open.

Julie enters.

Barry enters with bent back.

1 Barry: Bloody humped coffins!

Ghostface: You're, you're alive!

Julie: Yes well the dead don't usually move or talk.

Barry: Hello, could somebody please help me.

Ghostface: Oh, sorry.

He pushes Barry's back up and then it bends back the other way.

Barry: Oh great.

Ghostface pushes him back up to normal.

Barry: Thank you.

Stu comes through the front door.

Barry, Julie and Ghostface: Stu!

Ghostface: But, but I didn't kill you.

Julie: Yeah Barry did.

Barry: Yes I did . And all by myself. (Claps and cheers are heard, Barry bows) Thank you, Thank you.

Stu: No he didn't. The knife he threw at me only made me faint. My dad was the one that killed me.

Ghostface: That's a lie.

Stu: Well I can prove it. Take this. (He hands a tape to Barry)

Barry puts the tape in the machine.

On TV

Stu is playing with his toys in front of a hidden camera.

Stu: Hello caterpillar.

Mr. Jameso shouts: Stu!

Stu quickly jumps back into bed.

Mr. Jameso walks in with a tray with some soup in it. He stands in front of the camera with it.

Mr. Jameso: Now don't complain if it tastes weird because I've just put some poison in it.

Stu: I'm sorry but did you say poison.

Mr. Jameso: No I said medicine.

Mr. Jameso pours some poison into Stu's soup.

Barry stops the tape.

Ghostface: Oh it's true, it's true I'm guilty.

Julie: We know we just saw the tape.

Barry: But why did you do it?

Ghostface: Boredom.

Julie: Then who killed Barry and me?

Ghostface: I did that too.

2 CUT

Upstairs dad's door is rattling. It bursts open and Betty steps out.

Betty: Mr. Jameso!

Betty runs downstairs.

Mr. Jameso: Oh no! Betty!

Betty: How dare you lock me up for six months with no food or water?

Julie: Six months and you're not dead!

Betty: I'm invincible!

Ghostface: Wow so special.

Betty goes into the kitchen and comes out with a glass of water.

Barry: Ahhhhhh!

Betty: What?

Barry: I'm afraid of water. (Everybody looks at him) Hey I died in the shower.

Julie: Barry if you had come over quicker we may have been able to beat dad.

Barry: Yeah well if you hadn't invited me over I wouldn't be dead.

Betty: Well it was your dad who killed you two and tried to kill me.

Ghostface: Hey! I only killed because everyone forgot my birthday.

Julie: We were planning a surprise party.

Ghostface: Well someone should have told me!

Julie: Didn't you hear me it was meant to be a surprise.

Ghostface: Well you still should have told me. You told me last birthday.

Julie: That's because you held a gun to my head!

Stu: None of us would be angry with each other if dad had never killed us.

Everyone starts talking.

A whistle is blown.
