Scream 2 script - Movies - http://maxpages.com/scream5/Scream_2

It all starts at the Realto Movie Theatre

MAUREEN
I hate scary movies. I should be studying, I got a bio due, you know
that?

PHIL
Did I mention that these tickets are free? Free.

MAUREEN
Sandra Bullock is playing right down the street.

PHIL
Now why do you wanna pay 7.50 to see some Sandra Bullock, unless she's
naked.

MAUREEN
Oh, but you will sit through some movie called STAB.

PHIL
It's an adrenaline rush Maureen, that's what it is.

MAUREEN
No, I'll tell you what is. It's a dumb ass white movie about some dumb
ass white girls getting their white asses cut the fuck up.

PHIL
Is that what it is?

MAUREEN
No, I'm just saying that the horror genre is historical for excluding
the African American element.

PHIL
Now where do you get your P.H.D. in black cinema sister soldier?

MAUREEN
Listen, I read my Entertainment Weekly, I know my shit.

PHIL
Yeah Maureen, I read my Blackbeat too. Black eyes. Black peeps.

THEATRE USHER
Hi, here you go.

MAUREEN
What's this?

THEATRE USHER
Stab souveneirs, the studio sent them.

MAUREEN
And it's white! Thank you.

STAB Movie begins as PHIL and MAUREEN make their way to their seats
while the song "Red Right Hand" plays in the background as the movie
begins. A young girl with blonde hair named Casey walks into the
bathroom during a thunderstorm as she gets ready to take a shower.

MAN IN THEATRE
Take it off!!

MAUREEN flims her hand in disgust and annoyance

MAUREEN
Now why does she gotta be naked? What does that have to do with the
plot, her being butt ass naked?

PHIL
I don't know about the plot, but I got a stiffie.

MAUREEN
You better loosen up that wrist.

Back to STAB, a phone rings as Casey looks back and dresses back up to
answer the phone. The men in the theatre grumble in disappointment.

CASEY IN "STAB"
Hello?

VOICE IN STAB
Hello.

CASEY IN "STAB"
Who is this?

VOICE IN "STAB"
You tell me.

CASEY IN "STAB"
No, really who is this?

MAUREEN
Bitch hang up the phone up and Star 69 his ass! Damn!

VOICE IN "STAB"
Look out back, see your boyfriend anywhere around?

CASEY IN "STAB"
I don't even have a boyfriend right now.

VOICE IN "STAB"
Would you like one? Hello? Cat got your tongue?

MAUREEEN
Damn, give me some money, I'm gonna get some popcorn.

PHIL
You got money.

MAUREEN
I know I got money, I asked for your money.

PHIL
Cheapskade.

MAUREEN
Thank you

CASEY IN "STAB"
I don't even know you, and I despise you already.

MAUREEN EXITS THEATRE WHERE A SCREAM IN THE THEATRE MAKES HER JUMP.

GIRL
Hey, come on!

GIRL 2
I know, I was so scared!

THEATRE USHER
Hey, we're sold out.

THEATRE USHER 2
Oh cool.

CONCESSION WORKER
Hello.

MAUREEN
Hi, I'll have a medium popcorn, no butter, and a small diet pepsi.

CONCESSION WORKER
You got it.

MAUREEN
Thanks.

GIRL
That's it, I'm not going back in there.

GIRL 2
Come on you chicken shit, it's just a movie.

GIRL
No, it's not just a movie, it's a true story. All of these kids got
killed a couple of years ago in California.

MAUREEN TAKES HER FOOD AND HEADS BACK TO THE THEATRE.

MAN
Ahhh!!!

MAN 2
Stab you man! Ahhhh!!

MAUREEN OPENS THE THEATRE DOOR AS A GHOST-MASKED FIGURE JUMPS OUT FROM
BEHIND HER.

PHIL
Ahhhhhh!!!

MAUREEN
Ahhhhhh!!!!

MAUREEN
You ass!!

PHIL
Sorry baby.

MAUREEN
Why are you playing?

PHIL
What's wrong? Why are you so tense?

MAUREEN
I don't like being scared.

PHIL
Ok, besides, scary movies are great for foreplay.

MAUREEN
Will you stop!

PHIL
Come on, let's go catch the Sandra Bullock movie.

MAUREEN
No, Sandra started already, we can stay. Alright, well just don't play
so much.

PHIL
Gotta go to the bathroom.

MAUREEN
Ok.

PHIL
See ya inside.

MAUREEN walks back into the theate where onscreen in STAB, a chair comes
crashing through a window as Casey runs for her life. While, Maureen
sits down and puts her jacket on, Phil enters the restroom.

He stands patiently as two men dressed in Ghostface costumes are using
the urinals. Phil decides to use one of the stalls. He bangs on the
first one to realize it's occupied.

PHIL
Sorry.

Phil sees that the second stall is unoccupied and decides to use it.
Suddenly, Phil hears a strange noise coming from the first stall and
decides to listen in as he laughs since it seems to be a couple in the
stall.

VOICE FROM STALL
No, I didn't mean to, I swear. Oh mommy, mommy! Oh Oh!!

Phil places his ear up to the bathroom stall wall.

VOICE FROM STALL
Listen mommy! Listen mommy! Listen mommy!

Suddenly, a thrust of a knife from the killer in the next stall, goes
throught the wall, stabbing Phil severly in the head as blood comes from
his mouth and Phil falls to the floor, dead. The killer exits the stall
quietly as Phil lies dead in a pool of blood.

Meanwhile, back onscreen, Casey jumps over a wall as she ducks in the
back.

MAUREEN
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!! Don't do that!

MAUREEN
Move, go go!

The killer dressed in Phil's jacket seats himself next to Maureen.

MAUREEN
Baby, give it up!

MAUREEN
You're back in time. It looks like she's gonna get it. Want some
popcorn?

The killer nods no.

MAUREEN
Now, see if that was me, I'd be out of there!

Onscreen in STAB, the killer jumps out of a window onto Casey as she
gets up and runs as fast she can, as the killer grabs her from behind.

MAUREEN
Here it comes! Here it comes!

MAUREEN hides her face into "Phil" as onscreen, the killer stabs Casey
in the chest as Casey falls screaming.

MAUREEN looks up at the screen and looks at her hand, and realizes it's
full of blood as she looks at "Phil" in wonder. Suddenly, the killer
pulls out the knife as MAUREEN looks in terror.

MAUREEN
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

The killer stabs Maureen in the stomach as she gets up and walks to the
aisle. Back onscreen, the killer is stabbing Casey repeatedly. As
Maureen walks in the aisle, the killer comes behind her and begins
stabbing her six more times as Maureen walks up to the screen.k

The audience cheers in delight, thinking Maureen is part of a publicity
stunt for STAB. Maureen flails her arms in the arm and looks around, as
the theatre begins to realize it's real. Maureen flails back and then
falls dead.

TITLE TO SCREAM 2

INT. SIDNEY AND HALLIE'S DORM ROOM

a phone begins to ring. A girl laying in her bed, awakens to the phone
call as she grabs the phone.

SIDNEY
Hello?

SIDNEY
Hello?

VOICE
Hello Sidney. What's your favorite scary movie?

SIDNEY
Who is this?

VOICE
You tell me.

Sidney grabs for her caller ID.

SIDNEY
Cory Gillis. 555-0176.

CORY
Shit!

SIDNEY
Hot flash Cory, prank calls are criminal offense prosecuted under penal
code 653M.

CORY
Shit!

CLICK! The phone goes dead.

SIDNEY
Hope you enjoyed the movie.

HALLIE
Time to change numbers again?

SIDNEY
Nah, it'll die off, it's opening weekend.

HALLIE grabs the remote as she turns the TV on as SIDNEY is looking at
the mirror.

COTTON ON TV
Well, you can never tell...

Sidney turns to the familiar voice.

TALK SHOW HOST
You were fully exhonorated, you were an innocent man, and thanks to Gale
Weathers book.

COTTON ON TV
Yeah, but a nickel won't get you a coffee in prison anymore.

THE AUDIENCE ON TV LAUGHS.

COTTON
Yeah, but Gale's been great.

HALLIE
Get your ass in gear, you're late! Don't forget about the Acid Rain
Mixer tonight at Delta Lambda's tonight.

SIDNEY
I don't think I can go, Hallie.

HALLIE
What?! Come on, you promised.

SIDNEY
Hallie, you know about me and organized religion.

HALLIE
It's a sorority.

SIDNEY
Worse!

HALLIE
Are you OK?

SIDNEY
I'm fine.

HALLIE
"I'm fine." Yeah, I see that remark is always strecthed tightly across
your face.

GIRL
Check out the news!

TV REPORTER
Last night at a sneak preview showing of the movie STAB. Authorities
won't release anything, except for that the two victims, Maureen Evans
and Phil Stevens were both Windsor seniors.

SIDNEY
Where's Randy?

HALLIE
He's got film theory this morning.

EXT. DORM HOUSE

Sidney heads out of the dorm house and is immediately mobbed by several
reporters.

REPORTER #1
Sidney, did you know the victims?

REPORTER #2
Do you feel frightened by the murders?

Sidney pushes through and heads off.

INT. FILM THEORY CLASSROOM

PROFESSOR
So, what you're saying is that killer's influence was based on the movie
itself.

CICI
That is so moral majority, you can't blame real life violence on
entertainment.

GUY
Wait a minute, yes you can!

GUY #2
Hello? The guy was wearing a Ghostmask, just like in the movie, it's
directly responsible.

CICI
No it's not! Movies are not responsible for our actions.

GIRL
I had biology with that girl. This is serious.

RANDY
Thank you, I agree with that.

MICKEY
Oh come on Randy, with all due respect, the killer obvious patterned
himself after two serial killers who were immortalized on film.

GUY #2
Thank you!

PROFESSOR
So, you're saying that someone is trying to make a real life sequel?

RANDY
STAB 2? Why would anyone want to do that? Sequels suck!

MICKEY
It is common fact, there have been many sequels that have succeeded
their original.

CICI
Name one.

GUY
Aliens, far better than the first.

CICI
Yeah, well there's no accounting for taste.

RANDY
Thank you, "Ridley Scott" rules. Name another.

GUY #2
No, Aliens is a classic. "Get away from her, you bitch!"

RANDY
I believe the line is, "Stay away from her, you bitch." This is film
class right?

MICKEY
T2.

CICI
You've got a hard on for Cameron.

RANDY
Yeah, a big one.

GUY
The first Terminator is a classic.

RANDY
"Sarah Connor?" "Yes?" BOOM!

The class laughs.

GUY #2
House 2: The Second Story.

CICI
What?

RANDY
The horror genre was destroyed by sequels.

MICKEY
No, wait, I got it. The Godfather: Part 2.

Class agrees while Randy does a Marlon Brando impression that makes the
class laugh. Suddenly, Sidney shows up and her presence is immediately
known to Randy.

PROFESSOR
We'll continue the sequel discussion tomorrow.

GIRL
So, Mr. Originality, what would you make different?

RANDY
I'd let the geek get the girl.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS

SIDNEY
300 people watched, no one did anything. They all though it was a
publicity stunt.

RANDY
So?

SIDNEY
It's starting again Randy.

RANDY
No, a lot happens in movie theaters these days. People get mamed,
murdered, robbed, shot. Multiplexs are a very dangerous place to be
these days.

SIDNEY
Yeah, and you are in extreme denial.

RANDY
And you should be too, this has nothing to do with us.

SIDNEY
Randy, a guy in a Ghostmask hacked up two people in a movie theater
telling our life story.

RANDY
Coincidence?

SIDNEY
You know what happened in Woodsboro. You can't deny it.

In the backround DEREK approaches.

RANDY
Yes Sidney, and I don't wanna go back there. Can't we go back to our
pseudo quasi happy existence, hello Derek.

DEREK
Hey, I heard what happened, you weren't in class.

SIDNEY
Yeah, I skipped, I couldn't take all of the "that's her" looks.

DEREK
Is there anything I can do?

SIDNEY
Do you have a way back to a pseudo quasi happy existence.

DEREK
You know what, I think I might.

SIDNEY
That was pretty good.

RANDY
Get a room.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS

GALE
They're what? Are you kidding, they'd be stupid to pull this movie.
It'll break box office records. No, it's a done deal.

JOEL
Miss Weathers? Hi, I'm Joel, you're new cameraman.

GALE
Do you have experience?

JOEL
Uh yeah, I shot the bingo finals, heck, I won an award for that.

GALE
Great. Ok Joel, this is how it works. I point, you shoot. You stay
focused and fast and on your toes, and we'll get along fine. Think you
can handle that?

JOEL
Uh yeah.

DEBBIE
Excuse me Miss Weathers, could I have a word with you?

GALE
No.

DEBBIE
Please, it'll just take a second. I just want to say that I am a big fan
of your work. I read your book, and I couldn't put it down, it was that
great.

GALE
Why thank you.

DEBBIE
I'm a writer myself, well, just for the local paper, The Post Telegraph.
I'm Debbie Salt. I took your seminar last year in Chicago. I was the one
in the front asking all of the questions.

GALE
Right, I thought you looked familiar.

DEBBIE
Yeah, well I can't wait to see the movie. You must be getting alot of
flack about that. Right?

GALE
No comment.

DEBBIE
Please Miss Weathers, it would be such an honor if I could get a quote
from you for my story.

GALE
Alright. Begin quote.

DEBBIE
Great.

GALE
Your flattering remarks are both desperate and obvious. End quote.

REPORTER
Gale, do you feel the murders are related to Sidney Prescott?

CHIEF HARTLEY (at podium)
Could I have your attention. My name is Chief Louis Hartley.

GALE
Chief Hartley. Hi, Gale Weathers, author of "The Woodsboro Murders."
Do you think that the killer will strike again?

CHIEF HARTLEY
We have no evidence that this is a serial killer. I'd like to see
that...

GALE
Are you taking any precautions?

RANDY
Oh man, this is huge.

RANDY
Sidney, look, it's Gale Weathers.

SIDNEY
What?

RANDY
Star of the Gale Weathers press conference. Author of the press
conference starring Gale Weathers. Soon to be a major motion picture
starring Gale Weathers.

SIDNEY
Be kind, she saved our lives.

RANDY
Check the calf implants. I'm gonna get closer.

Several sorority girls, including LOIS and MURPHY approach the group.

LOIS
Hello girls.

HALLIE
Oh, hello sister Lois, sister Murphy.

MURPHY
Hello pledge. Hi Sidney!

SIDNEY
Hey.

MURPHY
This must be hell for you.

SIDNEY
I manage.

MURPHY
To think that this fest is all about you. Not directly, but in some six
degrees of Kevin Bacon way.

LOIS
So Sidney, are you coming to our little martini mixer tonight?

SIDNEY
I don't know, I think..

HALLIE
We'll be there.

LOIS
Oh good, cause Sid, we have our eyes on you. The Delta Lambdas are very
sensitive to your plight and if you need anything just call. Bye!

DELTA LAMBDA GIRL
Bye.

DEREK
Are you gonna start to dress like that once you get in?

SIDNEY
That's not gonna happen.

MICKEY
The Delta Lambdas are the biggest bunch of fucking..

HALLIE
Hey! I'm pledging Delta Lambda.

SIDNEY
Oh my god.

DEREK
Who's that?

Dewey wanders around, like he is looking for someone.

SIDNEY
Dewey?! Hey!

DEWEY
Oh man, I was worried about you. I heard what happened and I was on the
first flight. Can we talk?

SIDNEY
Yeah.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS AT A TABLE ON A PORCH

SIDNEY
Things were going fine until now. But uh, theatre is going great. I got
my first starring role and we open in two days.

DEWEY
That is great!

SIDNEY
Yeah, and uh, I'm seeing someone. He's a nice guy, no apparent psychotic
tendencies.

DEWEY
I was just worried. Look Sid, if there is some freaked out psycho trying
to follow in Billy Loomis' footsteps, you probably already know him, or
her, or them. They're probably already in your life.

SIDNEY
You don't think I know that Dewey? What am I supposed to do, crawl under
a rock?

DEWEY
No, I'm gonna talk to Chief Hartley and the local police. I'm gonna make
sure that you're safe. I'm just gonna hang around if that's ok?

SIDNEY
Yeah, I'd be honored.

DEWEY
Alright.

DEREK
Hey, are you alright? Who was that guy?

SIDNEY
An old friend.

RANDY
Deputy Dewey, Woodsboro's finest. What's he doing here?

SIDNEY
He's worried. Our surrogate big brother.

RANDY
Wow, Nothing like a funeral bringing the family together. I'm gonna go
say hi.

MICKEY
Chief Hartley said the girl was stabbed seven...

DEREK
Drop it!

GALE
Hello Sidney.

SIDNEY
Hi...Gale.

GALE
Well, I was hoping I could get a few words from you with...

SIDNEY
Cotton.

COTTON
Hello Sidney.

GALE
Here we are at Windsor College where Sidney Prescott has just been

reunited with Cotton Weary for the first time since she wrongfully

accussed him of her murdering her mother.

SIDNEY

What the hell are you doing?

GALE

We want to know what you think..

COTTON

Sidney, I'd just like to say that I forgive and forget, and like you,

I'd like to move on with my life.

SIDNEY

You bitch! (she is about to puch out Gale)

GALE

Nah ahh ah!

GALE

Oh Sidney, share with us please!

BAM! Sidney slaps Gale across the face.

SIDNEY

I'll share with you!

HALLIE

Did you get that on film?

JOEL

Yes, I got that on film.

COTTON

Gale, what's going on? You mean, she didn't know?

JOEL

Oh man, that was cold.

GALE

Hey, you need to check your conscience at the door sweetie! We're not

here to be loved.

COTTON

Gale, you promised me 10 minutes of air time.

GALE

You'll get your ten minutes when I get my god damn interview!

COTTON

Gale, now I did my part. Don't walk away from me! Gale!

GALE

Joel!

Gale walks up the campus where she runs smack dab into Dewey.

GALE

Dewey? What are you doing here?

DEWEY

Can't you just leave her alone? Hasn't she been through enough?! And my

name is Dwight!

GALE

I was just doing my job, Dwight.

DEWEY

No matter who gets hurt in the process.

GALE

Hey! Who got punched here? Me!

DEWEY

Well, I'd say you deserved it. Page 32, "Deptuy Dewey filled the room

with his Barney Fifish presence."

GALE

I see that you read my book.

DEWEY

Well, Miss Weathers, I do read.

GALE

Come on Dewey, it's just a character in a book.

DEWEY

Page 41, "Deputy Dewey oozed with inexperience."

GALE

Don't you think you're overreacting just a little bit?

DEWEY

No, what I think is that your money hungry and fame seeking and forgive

me for saying, mediocre writing, has a cold storage where a heart should

be. No offense intended.

GALE

Dewey, I never meant to imply...

DEWEY

How do you know that my dimwitted inexperience isn't merely a subtle

form of manipulation used to lower people's expectations thereby

enhancing my ability to effectively maneuver within any given situation.

GALE

I don't what to say, except for that, I'm sorry.

DEWEY

No, I'm sorry, I misjudged you. Oh, one more thing, nice streaks.

GALE

Well!
