Scene 5: John Simmons: Gone and Quickly Forgotten.
Cut to outside shot of the Halloweenie House. (It is now nearly sunset)
Eddy: Hey, Jeopardy's on.
Inside Jordan, Phoebe and Eddy are still watching TV.
Host on TV: Angry jackass.
Contestant: Ah, what is Russel Crowe?
Host: Correct.
The phone rings. Lannibal walks to the phone and answers it.
Lannibal: Hello.
Killer: Hello.
Lannibal: Who is this?
Killer: You tell me your name and I'll tell you mine.
Lannibal: I'm Lannibal Hecter, who is this?
Killer: Oh. Ah. What's that popping noise?
Lannibal: I'm making popcorn. I'm about to watch a movie.
Killer: Do you like movies?
Lannibal: (Getting angry) I don't like being questioned. A census taker tried to test me once. I ate his liver with some favor beans and a nice Chianti.
Killer: Do you want one of your friends to die?
Lannibal: Who?
Killer: John.
Lannibal: Oh. John. No I don't mind.
Killer: What? I'm going to kill John right now. Lannibal: Okay. Bye, bye.
Jordan: Who was that?
Lannibal: Nothin' important, just some guy saying he was about to kill John.
Jordan: Oh ok.
We cut to John outside out the window.
John: Guys can I come back inside now?
Jordan: No.
John: Then can I please have a pillow? Please?
He lifts his hands pleading.
Jordan: No. I don't think so.
There is a cracking noise heard. John goes to a corner of the house to investigate.
John: Aaaargh!
Everyone leaps away from the TV room and hurries to the window. John is pulled forward by the killer. He brutally starts killing John.
Jordan: Oh my god he's being killed.
Eddy: Ah well, never did like him.
Phoebe: Guys, we have to save him.
Eddy: Why?
Jordan: No. She's right, come on.
Lannibal starts trying to break the window.
Jordan: Don't waste your strength it's bullet-proof glass.
Lannibal: Why have you got bullet-proof glass in the kitchen?
Jordan: My cousin Belinda and some priest guy had it put in after their first run-in with the killer.
Eddy: What, you mean the killer's been here before?
Jordan: Yeah. About three times. What? At least I'm trying to make a plot.
Phoebe: Hurry he's killing him.
John has blood on his face and he desperately is trying to get away from the killer.
Jordan: The back door!
Lannibal: Quick!
Jordan and Lannibal run upstairs. Phoebe and Eddy watch through the window. John's legs are still. The killer waves. Eddy now is sitting down and eating popcorn at the window.
Phoebe: No!
Phoebe stands in front of Eddy.
Eddy: Down in front!
John's body is dragged away.
Eddy: That was good. What's next?
Lannibal and Jordan come running down the stairs.
Jordan: We couldn't find the key for the door.
Eddy stands up and a key falls out of his pocket. Lannibal picks it up.
Lannibal: The key.
Jordan: Eddy.
Eddy: Hey I found that when we came in. I, I forgot all about it.
Phoebe: Come on, lets get to him. Before it's too late.
They all rush upstairs. Jordan starts trying to open the door.
Lannibal: Okay, if we find his dead body I suggest we take him back inside, chop him up and have him for dinner.
Everyone stares at him with their mouths wide-open.
Lannibal: Does anyone have a better idea?
Jordan: We call the police.
Lannibal: No. I mean on what to have for dinner.
Phoebe: I thought we were having pizza. Lannibal: Eating John is cheaper than pizza.
Eddy: You're a cannibal!
Lannibal: No I'm not. I'm just trying to save money. Is that being a cannibal?
Eddy: If it involves eating someone. Yeh.
Phoebe: Will you hurry up with the door?
Jordan: I'm trying.
The door finally opens.
Jordan: Ah..
They all rush to where the body was. Suddenly Phoebe closes her eyes. Camera zooms in on her.
Jordan: Phoebe, are you okay?
Phoebe: I just had a premonition!
Eddy: What did you see?
Phoebe: John being killed.
Eddy: Great! That is so helpful, we're lucky to have a witch here.
Phoebe: Yeah, well I only have premonitions of the past.
Eddy: What's the point of that?
Phoebe: I don't know.
Jordan: Guys, guys. The body's gone!
Lannibal: Damn. Looks like we'll have to have pizza.
Phoebe: There's only some blood. I don't get it.
Lannibal: Oh god. I just realized. Anyone of us could be next!
Eddy: That's it. I'm leaving.
Phoebe: Me too.
Eddy, Phoebe and Lannibal starts to leave. In the hallway.
Jordan: Guys, you can't leave. Eddy: Why not?
Jordan: Listen I don't know if it matters to you but when I'm older I want to be able to say "I was brave, I spent a night in the Halloweenie House and survived." I want.
Eddy: Whoa, whoa. Wait. This is Halloweenie House? Where all those people died?
Jordan: That's right. I inherited this house from my cousin who died here two days ago. So are you going to stay?
Eddy, Phoebe and Lannibal: No.
They all start to leave.
Jordan: Alright, I'll pay you.
Eddy: You're trying to get us to risk our lives for money? How much?
Jordan: 50 thousand each.
Eddy: Ah, come on guys.
Jordan: 100 thousand?
Phoebe: Let's go.
Eddy: Listen Jordan, nothing would make me spend a night here!
Jordan: I'll give you ten million dollars.
Eddy: Ok.
Jordan: Good. I'll give it to you tomorrow.
Phoebe: Hey, why tomorrow?
Jordan: In case you die tonight.
Phoebe: Oh.
Lannibal: Now lets get some dinner.
Phoebe: I'll order.
Eddy: I'm going.
Lannibal: Me too.
Jordan chucks the keys to Eddy. Eddy drops them. Phoebe picks up the phone and dials.
