Scene 4 - The unexpected
SIDNEY'S HOUSE
RICK
The funeral was nice.
SIDNEY
Yeah. It was.
RICK
I'm going to get into the shower.
SIDNEY
Ok. I'll be here.
(Rick leaves, and Sidney starts to just slowly undress. She relaxes on the couch silently. Then the phone rings. She gets up and answers it.)
SIDNEY
Hello?
VOICE
Hello Sidney.
SIDNEY
What the fuck do you want?
VOICE
To make the perfect movie.
SIDNEY
How does that involve me?
VOICE
In the prefect movie the heroine dies.
SIDNEY
Fuck you!
(She hangs up the phone and dials a different number.)
VOICE
Hello?
SIDNEY
Dewey! The killer just called me. He threatened to kill me. I'm really scared.
DEWEY
Don't worry Sid! I'll be there in ten minutes the most.
SIDNEY
Ok Dewey. Hurry! Please.
(She hangs up the phone. Then it suddenly rings again. She drops the phone on the floor. She then picks it up.)
SIDNEY
Dewey?
VOICE
I don't think so; he's on his way though. Just like your boyfriend I'm sure they'll enjoy the party. Also, that little cousin of yours too. Kill four birds with one stone.
SIDNEY
You stay away from me, and my friends. I'm going to fucking kill you just like I did to all the other killers. Do you hear me? I will always survive!
(Suddenly a door opens. Sidney drops the phone, and screams.)
RICK
What's going on? I heard all this screaming in yelling. Are you OK?
SIDNEY
Someone threatened to kill you, and me.
RICK
the phone voice again? I thought you told me it had nothing to do with Kincaid's murder.
SIDNEY
I'm sorry! I just didn't want you to get involved.
(Suddenly the doorbell rings. The two of them jump. They slowly creep towards the door.)
DEWEY
Sid! I'm here. Open the door.
(They run to the door to let Dewey in. Then quickly shut it, then lock it.)
SIDNEY
He called again.
DEWEY
What did he say?
SIDNEY
He said he was going to kill me, you, Rick, and Jim.
DEWEY
Where's Jim?
SIDNEY
He said he'd come over later.
DEWEY
Just stay calm. He can't get in unless there is an unlocked door, or an open window.
RICK
Oh, Shit!
SIDNEY
What?
RICK
I left the bathroom window open, to let some of the fog out after my shower.
(They all get really close to each other and slowly head to the bathroom. They get in there, and they see the window open. They can hear the wind blow. It is very silent except for that. Suddenly, they hear a clinging noise from the closet. It then bursts open, and there is the person wearing the ghostface mask. He pushes Dewey to the side. Dewey falls into the tub, and his head hits the wall. The place where his head was is painted in blood. Then you see Rick and Sidney running up the stairs. Rick trips and the killer catches up to him. Rick kicks the killer in the area between his legs, and the killer falls backwards, and tumbles down a few steps. They run to the attic door, its blocked by boxes and a couch. They start to move the items franticly. They see that the killer just got up from his fall.)
SIDNEY
Oh shit! Hurry. He's coming.
(They keep on trying to move things. The killer is right behind them. Sidney turns around and throws one of the boxes at the killer. She missed him, the box hits one of the windows in the hallway. Then the killer looks at the window then at Sidney, and stabs her in the stomach. He then throws her over the banister and she falls to the floor by the steps. Rick finds a baseball bat in one of the boxes and hits the killer in the stomach with it. He runs down the stairs to Sidney. She's still alive.)
SIDNEY
Don't let him get you too!
(Suddenly a knife drops into her chest. Rick looks back up expecting the killer to be conscious but he's gone. He runs to the door, and Gale is there. Rick is panting.)
GALE
Are you Sidney's cousin?
RICK
Yeah.
GALE
what's wrong?
RICK
There's another killer. He pushed…
(Interruppted by Gale.)
GALE
Another killer? Ghostmask killer?
RICK
Yeah. I think he killed Dewey.
GALE
Dewey's dead?
RICK
Yeah. I think so. I also think Sid is dead.
(Rick wipes his eyes as Gale enters the house and sees Sidney's dead body. She screams.)
