(Establishing Shot – a gym. SYD is beating a punching bag (not like those rubber ones. It's one of those huge stuffed ones.) She stops.)
SYD: (takes a deep breath then takes a drink of water)
(The same MAN who was talking to DEMENTOR passes the open gym door. SYD quickly hides in a supply closet)
SYD: (thinking) Y'know, I always imagined if I was going to be in a closet at seventeen years old, it'd be with a really hot guy. Preferably JOSH. Only JOSH. Holy crap, I'm gonna die. I'm dead, I'm gonna die, he's gonna find me, I'm roadkill. How'd I get mixed up in this anyway?!
(SYD reaches into her pocket for something. It is a small toy gun. She tosses it up in the air and it enlarges. SYD catches it)
SYD: (thinking) Yes!
MAN: (Through a walkie-talkie) S060787's gone. I thought I saw a panther around here...apparently not.
(SYD holds her breath)
SYD: (thinking) I'm so glad he seems so stupid...
(Meanwhile, back at the house, JESSIE walks down into the basement lair)
JESSIE: (looking at something) RORY ALAN LIPSKY!
RORY: (uneasily) Uh...yeah?
JESSIE: WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?! (points to a woman, who looks EXACTLY like JESSIE.)
RORY: Your...uh...clone.
JESSIE: YOU CLONED ME?!
RORY: Um...yeah.
JESSIE: WHY DID YOU CLONE ME?!
RORY: (shrugs) Not really sure now. I mean, one of you is too harsh.
JESSIE: (hits RORY on the back of the head)
JESSIE: DESTROY IT!
RORY: I can't.
JESSIE: WHY THE HECK NOT?!
RORY: I...don't know how.
JESSIE: ARH! (walks off, muttering to herself)
(RORY walks off.)
RORY: (OC) Oh crap! ...I can't believe it took me that long to realize there's two demons to worry about now...
(Later that night. A SYD CLONE and a DES CLONE sneak into the basement)
SYD CLONE: Do you know why we're here?
DES CLONE: No...and I don't really care, either. But you're going to tell me anyway, so go ahead.
SYD CLONE: SYD LIPSKY'S idiot brother cloned JESSICA.
DES CLONE: How on Earth is that significant?
SYD CLONE: We get the clone to kill the real JESSICA! Good God, you're dense!
DES CLONE: Just shut up and grab her.
(The next evening. DES is laying on her bed, reading a magazine. The JESSIE CLONE walks in, holding a dagger. She puts it to DES' neck)
DES: (looks over) A-AUNT JESSIE? Wh-what are you doing?
J-CLONE: Just getting rid of a burden, DESTINY. Don't be scared.
DES: (glares) You're not the real JESSIE, are you?
J-CLONE: I suppose I could tell you before you die. I'm not the real JESSICA.
DES: Arh...(faints)
J-CLONE: (escapes)
(Later, SYD is sleeping. The Sydstem starts beeping)
SYD: (answering) 'Lo?
JESSIE: SYD, wake up. DES was attacked.
SYD: Lemme sleep...please...
JESSIE: GET UP THIS INSTANT!!
(SYD falls out of bed)
SYD: (snore, wakes up) Very effective
JESSIE: I know. Now get your lazy body back here!
SYD: It's three in the morning!
JESSIE: Not here!
SYD: I'll be right there.
(SYD hangs up)
SYD: Does she think I'm stupid? (Goes back to sleep)
(Sydstem turns back on)
JESSIE: (OC) You are stupid.
(Sydstem turns back off.)
