EXT. REED RESIDENCE - AFTERNOON

Lisa knocks on the Reeds' front door. one KNOCK, two KNOCKS, then the door opens
with Nathan on the other side. Lisa freezes with her hand out for another knock.

NATHAN
Everything okay?

Lisa stammers for a moment.

LISA
Oh um- I was just checking in on Kirby.

NATHAN
She's not here. She's with her friend.

LISA
Did she say where they were going?

NATHAN
They went to the store to pick up a few things for a party tonight.

LISA
Oh, gotcha.

Lisa turns and begins to walk away.

NATHAN
I get it Lisa, you're pissed.

Lisa turns back toward Nathan

LISA
(confused)
Excuse me?

NATHAN
How I just kinda dropped you after high school.

LISA
Oh lord Nathan, that was so long ago. We were young, and eventually
we just had to grow up.

NATHAN
But not apart. We were together all throughout high school, and when
graduation came around, I went off to the military and you went off to college.

LISA
(kinda chuckles)
Yeah, we grew up Nathan.

NATHAN
(smiles)
Yeah, I guess you're right.

Lisa smiles.

LISA
Well I hear that there's this party tonight, and it's kinda mandatory for me to
be there. You wouldn't mind coming along to keep me company, would you?

NATHAN
(smiling)
Not at all.

Lisa works her irresistible charm.

LISA
Well I also heard that this party is happening around seven tonight.

NATHAN
(laughs)
Hmm, I heard I might be there.

LISA
(smiling)
I heard that if you're not, you'll make a certain old friend kinda upset.
(works her pouty lip)

NATHAN
(laughs)
No promises. I'll just have to check my schedule.

LISA
(chuckles)
Well I gotta go... serve and protect I guess.

Nathan laughs.

NATHAN
(smirks)
You mean serve like your old waitress job at the diner, and protect, like how we didn't
want kids back in high school.

LISA
(blushes while smiling)
Oh God, I can't believe you just said that. You haven't changed one bit,
have you?

NATHAN
(chuckles)
Nah, if I did, I would have hit puberty haha

LISA
(chuckles)
Yep, still the same egocentric child I remember.

NATHAN
(smiles)
I am who I am. Nothing will change that.

["USED TO" by "DAUGHTRY" FADES IN]

LISA
Well maybe that's not a bad thing.

NATHAN
Maybe not. Who knows?

LISA
(smiles)
Well I gotta go. Maybe see you later.

NATHAN
(smiles)
Maybe.

Lisa turns back, walking towards her cruiser.

Nathan watches as she starts her car and drives away. He then lets
out a sigh.

INT. WOODSBORO MARKET - CONT'D

Kirby and Nikki are strolling around the market with their buggy.

NIKKI
So how fucked up are we getting tonight? Like "I need to sit down",
fucked up, or like, ''Oh shit, where am I?", fucked up?... Or somewhere in
the middle?

KIRBY
I don't know, Nikki. I can't really think straight right now.

NIKKI
Relax chick, he's gonna show.

KIRBY
And what if he doesn't?

NIKKI
Trust me, he will Kirby.

KIRBY
I just feel so bad. I mean what kind of girlfriend accuses their boyfriend
of being a psychopathic killer?

NIKKI
(chuckles)
Apparently not me.

Kirby chuckles.

KIRBY
You do have bad taste in guys.

NIKKI
Yeah, yeah, tell me something I don't know. (beat)
But seriously, relax, I know Chris really cares about you,
and I know that he will be there tonight.

KIRBY
You think?

NIKKI
Yes, Oh my God. Focus, what else do we need tonight? All I
got is chips and dip.

KIRBY
Well we need real food, like hot dogs or something.

NIKKI
Mhm. I know what you got on your mind.

KIRBY
Oh please. I'm not the one who said it.

NIKKI
So?

KIRBY
Just grab some buns.

NIKKI
Exactly.

Kirby chuckles.

KIRBY
What am I gonna' do with you?

NIKKI
Oh no, I still gotta' figure out what I'm gonna do with
you(points to Kirby).

KIRBY
Still no ideas?

NIKKI
Working on it.

KIRBY
(chuckles)
Sure you are.

Around the corner, Kirby and Nikki run into Seth and Lindsay. Seth has
his camcorder ready.

LINDSAY
Hey guys, small world right?

NIKKI
A little too small for my taste.

Nikki looks over to Seth, who seems to be pointing his camera at her chest.

KIRBY
More like cruel world.

NIKKI
(to Seth)
Are you staring at my tits?

SETH
Maybe. You know I did hear you were single again.

Nikki snaps and raises her fist up but Kirby stops her by grabbing
her fist.

NIKKI
Ohhhh I'm so close to knocking you out kid.

KIRBY
Look, we're all friends here, so let's get along like friends are
supposed to. For this one night anyway.

LINDSAY
What are you guys bringing by the way?

KIRBY
No idea. Apparently chips.

NIKKI
And hot dogs as Kirby requested.

LINDSAY
Requested?

KIRBY
Long story.

NIKKI
It's a sign on what Kirby has on her mind.

SETH
Really now.

KIRBY
No, not really.

LINDSAY
(chuckles)
Well do you guys already have drinks?

NIKKI
Alcoholic or regular?

LINDSAY
Both.

NIKKI
Well my parents have plenty of Jack and Crown so we're good there.
I guess we could pick up some soda for mixed drinks.

KIRBY
That'll work. Better than just straight alcohol.

LINDSAY
Yeah, no kidding. Last time I got wasted, I ended up sleeping with
Grace's boyfriend by accident. Never heard the end of that.

KIRBY
Who's Grace?

NIKKI
A preppy cheerleader me and Lindsay went to school with.

KIRBY
I hate cheerleaders.

NIKKI
Who doesn't?

LINDSAY
Apparently the quarterback on the football team. Well I don't
know about anymore, since they broke up.

KIRBY
Well what would you expect?

LINDSAY
I think he has a thing for me, he's been texting me ever since.

NIKKI
Well, you must have done something right.

LINDSAY
Apparently so.

SETH
(coughs) whore (coughs).

Lindsay looks to Seth.

LINDSAY
Did you forget who you rode here with?

SETH
What? I was just clearing my throat.

LINDSAY
Yeah, I'll clear your throat alright.

SETH
I can't tell if you're coming onto me or intimidating me.

LINDSAY
Definitely not the first one.

SETH
So no sex tape?

LINDSAY
Go away. (Lindsay points away)

SETH
Fine, I guess I'll go harass someone else. Maybe that hot cashier.

Seth walks away.

NIKKI
Um, what was that all about?

LINDSAY
Oh God, long story.

KIRBY
He reminds me so much of Robbie.

LINDSAY
Who's Robbie?

KIRBY
This guy I went to school with. He was one of the ones who
was killed that night 4 years ago.

LINDSAY
Oh, I'm sorry.

KIRBY
Yeah, I still remember that night like it was yesterday.

LINDSAY
I can only imagine.

NIKKI
Alright, alright. Enough about oppressing and depressing
things. Let's focus on tonight. 'Cause I don't know about you
guys, but I'm getting fucked up.

From around the corner, Seth pokes his head out.

SETH
Did someone say something about getting fucked up?

LINDSAY
Oh God.

Kirby and Nikki laugh.
