[CUT TO]

INT. WOODSBORO COMMUNITY HOSPITAL - ROOM 242 - CONT'D

Kirby leans back, reclined in a hospital bed. Her cuts have been cleaned and
her right arm is wrapped in a bandage from where a shard of glass cut deep.
Also, her left arm is in a sling.

DOCTOR RICHARD ORTH enters the room and closes the door behind him.
Richard, 40's, has grey hair, is an average framed man, standing about
5'10. Richard is the brother of Steven Orth, first victim in the series of
murders by Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. He looks at Kirby with a smile, an
adverse attempt at trying to make her feel better supposedly.

RICHARD
Well, good news is that nothing's broken...

Kirby interrupts Richard, adding to his sentence.

KIRBY
... But?

RICHARD
But you did badly dislocate your shoulder, so you're gonna need
to wear that(points to Kirby's sling)at least for the next few weeks.

KIRBY
(sarcastic)
Yay me. Well at least nothing's broken.

RICHARD
You're gonna be fine. Not many people your size can just fall
two stories onto solid ground and not break anything. You're very
lucky.

KIRBY
(slightly chuckles)
If that's what you call it.

Just then- Lisa comes in, clip board in her hand. She looks
concerned for Kirby.

LISA
Sorry, I just need to ask Kirby a few questions.

RICHARD
Of course.

Richard steps out of the room, closing the door behind him.

LISA
(clears throat)
I'm really sorry Kirby. I should've checked in before leaving.
I had no idea...

Kirby cuts Lisa off.

KIRBY
Lisa, it's fine, really. The sick bastard played all of us. I
understand. It's nobody's fault.

LISA
I know, but I still feel terrible. If I would've been smarter, I
could've handled the situation better, and nobody would've
gotten hurt.

KIRBY
Technically, I did this to myself(lifts her arm in the sling up)
on the account of throwing myself through a glass door and
off the roof of my house, like a "genius".

Kirby kinda chuckles as well as Lisa.

LISA
(chuckles)
Well, you outsmarted the sick fuck. I bet he or she didn't expect
you do that.

KIRBY
To be totally honest, neither did I. I was cornered and kinda ran
out of options. It was either that or die. Decisions were made
(lifting her sling arm up again).

Kirby and Lisa laugh.

Just then- Chris opens the door. Kirby shoots him an indifferent
look.

LISA
Um, well, I'll let you guys talk alone.

Lisa walks passed Chris, leaving the room, the closes behind her.

CHRIS
My God Kirby, what the hell happened?

KIRBY
Um well where do I start? Oh yeah, how about you tell me.

Chris gives off a confused look.

CHRIS
Um, excuse me?

KIRBY
Where's your phone?

CHRIS
I lost it earlier today on campus, why?

KIRBY
(sarcastic)
Uh-huh, sure.

CHRIS
What the fuck is your deal?

KIRBY
Right before Ally got attacked, the killer called Nikki and the
caller ID come up as your name. Call me crazy but the only
explanation there is that it had to be your phone.

CHRIS
Let me get this straight. You think That I killed Ally? And in the
process, used my own phone. That's beyond retarded Kirby, think
about it. You know I would never do anything like that.

KIRBY
Do I?

CHRIS
I can't believe this. Here I am thinking that I was doing right by
you, and then here you are, convincing me of being a fucking serial killer.

Chris storms out of the room, passing Nikki as she enters the room
as he leaves.

NIKKI
Umm everything okay?

KIRBY
Just peachy.

NIKKI
Yeah, sounds like the sarcasm of my night.

KIRBY
How so, where's Jake?

NIKKI
Oh fuck that ego maniacal douche bag.

KIRBY
Ouch, what happened?

NIKKI
Okay, well we got into a bit of an argument. Nothing too serious.
Then he just leaves me at the fucking restaurant. Like what the fuck?

KIRBY
Oh wow.

NIKKI
Seriously. Like for real. (beat) Enough about me though. Are you okay?

KIRBY
Yeah, I'm fine. Besides the dislocated shoulder and multiple cuts,
I'm great.

Kirby and Nikki chuckle.

NIKKI
Shit girl, I'm sorry I left.

KIRBY
Don't be. I'm fine really.

Nikki tries to change the subject.

NIKKI
So, what was that all about with Chris. He looked kinda pissed.

KIRBY
Well, I kinda sorta, maybe, just a little bit, accused him of being a
psycho killer.

NIKKI
Well damn, girl. Then again, it was his name that appeared on my
caller ID right before Ally was, you know.

KIRBY
My point exactly. He claims to have lost it "today" on campus. Awfully
convenient if you ask me.

NIKKI
I don't know. I really wouldn't be surprised if he and Jake were somehow
behind this.

KIRBY
I wanna believe Chris isn't, but I have my doubts.

NIKKI
If you really love him, odds are that he might be. You never know,
just look at Billy and Sid. Then again, this is an entirely new
generation. The rules have changed, been bent, and overall, just been
ignored. Anything can happen I guess.

KIRBY
I just want this shit to be over with already.

NIKKI
Me and you both girl.

INT. WOODSBORO COMMUNITY HOSPITAL - HALLWAY - CONT'D

Sidney sits in one of the waiting chairs, next to Kirby's room, along with Nathan.
Dewey finishes talking to Lisa then looks over to Sidney and Nathan. He then makes his
way over to them.

DEWEY
I'm really sorry about what happened with Kirby, Nathan.

Nathan looks at Dewey in a very serious face.

NATHAN
I swear to God, Dewey, if you don't catch this son-of-a-bitch...

Dewey cuts Nathan off before he gets too hysterical.

DEWEY
We're doing all we can.

NATHAN
Well it must not be enough.

Sidney steps in.

SIDNEY
Dewey will handle this, Nathan. Don't worry about that.

NATHAN
I will worry about it until this sorry bastard is either behind bars or dead.

Nathan gets up and storms off down the hall.

Dewey just lowers his head in shame.

SIDNEY
Dewey don't beat yourself up over any of this. None of it is
your fault and you know it. I know it. Nathan knows it. Kirby,
everyone.

DEWEY
It's this badge. Everything bad that happens falls on me only because
I wear this Goddamn badge. I know it's not my fault but I still feel
responsible.

SIDNEY
So do I.

Dewey changes the subject.

DEWEY
She's a strong kid though.

SIDNEY
Very. She kinda reminds me of myself.

DEWEY
I'm starting to see it, actually.

SIDNEY
In more ways than one really.

Sidney looks through the window, seeing Kirby and Nikki talking.

DEWEY
I just don't know what to do.

SIDNEY
Well what are you going to do about Kirby?

DEWEY
I'm guessing it'll be better for her to just stay where she feels at
home. I'll have Lisa and Stross looking after her at all times.

SIDNEY
With her brother here, there's really no talking her out of staying
anywhere else.

DEWEY
Yeah, but I'll think of something in the meantime.

SIDNEY
Sounds good. Sidney walks away.

DEWEY
Don't worry Sid, we'll get through this.

Lisa approaches Dewey, passing Sidney along the way.

LISA
So what's the plan?

DEWEY
(sigh)
I'm gonna set up a 9'o clock curfew. (beat)
And Lisa.

LISA
Yes sir?

DEWEY
Please keep an eye on Kirby. Don't let her out of your sight. I'm
sending Stross too.

Lisa nods, agreeing with Dewey.

LISA
Yes sir.

Dewey then looks through the window, seeing Kirby still talking
with Nikki.

EXT. WOODSBORO COMMUNITY HOSPITAL - PARKING GARAGE - CONT'D

Sidney exits the stairwell and begins walking to her car. Just then- her phone
begins to ring. A very generic ringtone. Sidney reaches into her pocket and
without checking the caller ID, swipes the screen to answer the call.

SIDNEY
Hello?

The menacing voice of Ghostface is heard.

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
Oh Sidney, Sidney, Sidney. How does it feel knowing that your
sole existence hangs your friends lives in the balance? It hurts
doesn't it?

SIDNEY
Do yourself a favor and drop dead you sick fuck!

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
(laughs)
Oh Kirby surely proved herself tonight. If I wanted her dead, she
would be dead. The fun part was seeing if she could prove herself.
And she did. 3rd act material for sure.

SIDNEY
Leave her alone.

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
What about you Sidney, can you prove to still be 3rd act material?

Sidney has a displeased and un-amused look on her face as the killer's
laugh echoes through the phone speaker as the call ends.
