(Scene: Amity Park High School, school newspaper office. Sam Manson sits at a desk, typing away on her laptop.)
SAM: (to herself) "Okay, what are the essentials? The foundation of goth rock?"
(She begins typing, nodding to herself.)
SAM: (voiceover) "Top Goth Rock Songs of All Time, by Sam Manson."
(She types out the list.)
SAM: (voiceover) "Number 10: 'The Cure - 'Lullaby'. Hauntingly beautiful."
(She types out the next entry.)
SAM: (voiceover) "Number 9: 'Joy Division - 'Atmosphere'. Moody, atmospheric, perfection."
(She continues typing.)
SAM: (voiceover) "Number 8: 'Siouxsie and the Banshees - 'Christine'. Iconic, eerie, mesmerizing."
(She smiles, recalling the song.)
SAM: (voiceover) "Number 7: 'The Sisters of Mercy - 'This Corrosion'. Andrew Eldritch's voice sends shivers."
(She types out the next entry.)
SAM: (voiceover) "Number 6: 'Depeche Mode - 'Personal Jesus'. Dark, synth-heavy genius."
(She pauses, thinking.)
SAM: (voiceover) "Number 5: 'The Mission - 'Wasteland'. Gothic rock at its finest."
(She continues.)
SAM: (voiceover) "Number 4: 'Bauhaus - 'In the Flat Field'. A goth rock staple."
(She smiles, excitedly.)
SAM: (voiceover) "Number 3: 'Bauhaus - 'Bela Lugosi's Dead'. The quintessential goth anthem."
(She types out the next entry.)
SAM: (voiceover) "Number 2: 'The Chameleons - 'Don't Fall'. Sweeping, atmospheric, unforgettable."
(She pauses, dramatic flair.)
SAM: (voiceover) "And Number 1: 'The Sisters of Mercy - 'Temple of Love'. The epitome of goth rock."
(Danny Fenton, her best friend, walks in.)
DANNY: "Hey, Sam. What's the article about?"
SAM: "Top goth rock songs of all time. Want to take a look?"
DANNY: (impressed) "Whoa, nice list! You're going to convert the whole school to goth."
SAM: (laughs) "That's the plan."
(The scene ends with Sam smiling, satisfied with her list.)
FADE OUT.
