Sidney: Do you still think he's innocent?

Gale: Your t0estimony put him away it doesn't matter what I think.

Gale: I think you falsely identified him! Yes.

Sidney: Have you talked to Cotton?

Gale: Many times.

Sidney: Has his story changed?

Gale: NOT ONE WORD!

Gale: He admits to having sex with your mother but, that's all.

Sidney: He's lying she would of never touched him. He raped her and then he butchered her. Her blood was all over his coat.

Gale: He was drunk that night. He left his coat at your house after your mother seduced him.

Sidney: I saw him leave wearing it.

Gale: Jesus Christ.

Gale: An innocent man on death row, A killer's still on the loose, Kenny tell me I am dreaming.

Kenny: You wanna go live?

Gale: Not so fast we don't have anything concrete.

Kenny: You can't just sit on it.

Gale: I know that's why we need proof. If I am right , I could save a man's life. Do you know what that could do to my book sales?

Sidney: This is a mistake I shouldn't be here.

Tatum: I want you to meet me here right after class. Okay Sid?

Sidney: All right.

Sidney: Haven't seen Billy around. Is he really pissed?

Stu: Oh you mean after you branded him the Candyman?

Billy: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you still think its me don't you?

Sidney: No no I don't

Sidney: It's just that someone was there. Someone was there Billy, someone was trying to kill me.

Billy: I know the police said I must of scared him off.

Sidney: I know he called me again last night at Tatum's house.

Billy: See, It couldn't be me. I was in jail, remember.

Sidney: I'm so sorry, please understand.

Billy: Understand what?

Billy: That I have a girlfriend who would rather accuse me of a being a psychopathic killer than touch me.

Sidney: You know that's not true.

Billy: Then what is it?

Sidney: What is it?

Sidney: Billy, I was attack and nearly filleted last night.

Billy: I mean between us.

Billy: You haven't been the same since your mother died.

Sidney: Is your brain leaking?

Sidney: My mom was killed! I can't believe you are bringing this up.

Billy: It's been a year.

Sidney: One year, one year tomorrow.

Billy: I think it's time you got over that.

Billy: When my mom left my dad, I accepted it, that's how it is. She's not coming back. Sidney: Your parents split up! Not the same thing. Your mom left town,

she's not lying in a coffin somewhere.

Billy: Okay, Okay, I'm sorry, It's a bad analogy.

Billy: It's just that I want my girlfriend back.

Billy: SID!!

Sidney: I'm sorry that my traumatized like has inconvenience to you and your perfect existence.

Billy: What? What?

Billy: Nobody said that Sid.

Billy: STUPID!

Mr. Himbry: You make me sick. Your entire havok-enducing, thieving, whoring generation disgusts me. So 2 of your fellow students were just savagely murdered

and this is the way you show your compassion and sensitivity. Huh? Let me tell you something, You both expelled! Get out!

Kid #1: Come on, Mr. Himbry that's not fair.

Mr. Himbry: Your absolutely right. It's not fair. Fairness would be to rip your insides out. Hang you from a tree so we can expose you for the heartless desensitized

little shits that you are.

Girl #1: She was never attacked, I think she made it all up.

Girl #2: Why would she lie about it.

Girl #1: For attention. The girl has some serious issues. What if she did it, what if Sidney killed Casey and Steve?

Girl #2: Why would she do that?

Girl #1: Maybe she had the hots for Steve and killed them both in a jealous rage.

Girl #2: What would Sidney want with Steve? She has her own bubble-butt boyfriend, Billy.

Girl #1: Maybe she's a slut just like her mother.

Girl #2: Your evil.

Girl #1: Please It's a common fact, her mother was a tramp.

Girl #2: Cut her some slack she watched her mom get butchered.

Girl #1: And it fucked her up royally. Think about it her mothers death left her disturbed and hostile in a cruel and inhumane world. She's delusion. Where's God

etc. She's completely suicidal. One day she snaps wants to kill herself but, finds out that teen suicide is out this year and homicide is a more healthier, therapeutic

expression.

Girl #2: Where do you get this shit?

Girl #1: Ricki Lake.

Girl #2: Your pathetic.

Sidney: I am Pathetic?

Man: Sidney.

Sidney: Is someone there?

Reporter: In what appears to be a prank, several students have been seen wearing scary masks. School officials have yet to comment. This is known to be the same

costume worn by the killer.

Another reporter: 17 year old Casey Becker and her boyfriend Steven Orth have already lost their lives. Who's next?

Gale: Hi! Gale Weathers, field correspondent Top Story.

Dewey: I know who you are Miss. Weathers.

Dewey: How's the eye?

Gale: Productive! Is there a problem on campus?

Dewey: No, everything is under control.

Gale: Of course, your here.

Dewey: Your not supposed to be here.

Gale: I know, I'm supposed to be in New York covering the Sharon Stone stalker. But who knew?

Gale: You look awfully young to be a police officer.

Dewey: I'm 25 years old.

Gale: You know in a demographic study, I prove to be most popular in males 11 - 24.

Gale: I guess I just missed you. Of course you don't look a day older than 12.

Gale: Except in that upper torso area. Does the force require you to work out?

Dewey: No mam. Cause my boyish looks, muscle mass has increased to my acceptance as a serious police officer.

P.A.: I need your attention now, kids. Due to the recent events that have just occurred, effective immediately classes will be suspended until further notice. The

Woodsboro police department has issued a city wide curfew beginning at 9:00 tonight.

Gale: Looks like we've got a serial killer on our hands.

Dewey: Serial killer's not really accurate.

Dewey: You got to knock off a couple more to get that title.

Gale: We can hope can't we?

Gale: I mean we don't have certainly any leads.

Gale: Have you located Sidney's father?

Dewey: No not yet.

Gale: He's not a suspect is he?

Dewey: Well, we haven't ruled him out as..a..possibility.

Dewey: If you excuse me...

Gale: I'm sorry am I keeping you?

Dewey: If I may say so Miss. Weathers you are much prettier in person.

Gale: So you do watch the show.

Dewey: I'm 25, I was 24 for a whole year.

Gale: Please, call me Gale!

Tatum: It was just some sick fuck having a laugh, Sid.

Sidney: No, it was him Tatum. I know it.

Tatum: You're not going to pee anymore alone. If you pee, I pee. Is that clear?

Stu: Kizzo, Kaskcoo is out, I don't know what you did Sidney, but on behalf of the entire school we say "Thank you!"

Tatum: Drop it, Stu!

Stu: I say... an impromptu party tonight at my house to celebrate this fiesta. What do you say?

Sidney: Are you serious?

Stu: This little vixen doesn't invite the entire world we'll be okay. Intimate gathering, Intimate friends. Tatum: What do you say Sid?

Tatum: I mean pathos could have it's perks.

Stu: Totally protected. Yo, I am so buff. I've got you covered, girl.

Tatum: Come on Sid, for me? It will be fun.

Sidney: Okay, whatever.

Stu: Yeah? Nice.

Stu: Cool, you guys bring food all right?

Back in school

Mr. Himbry: Yes?

Mr. Himbry: Hello?

Mr. Himbry: Damn little shits.

Fred: What did you call me? Huh?

Mr. Himbry: Not you Fred. Prick.

Mr. Himbry: Aaah! Aaaah! Uhh!

Back at Tatum's house

Tatum: What if Cotton Weary is telling the truth? Maybe he was having an affair with your mom.

Tatum: I mean your dad is always out of town on business,

Tatum: Maybe your mom was just a very unhappy woman.

Sidney: If they were having an affair how come Cotton couldn't prove it in court?

Tatum: Well, you can't prove a rumor. That's why it's called a rumor.

Sidney: Right, created by that tabloid twit, Gale Weathers.

Tatum: It goes farther back, Sid.

Tatum: There's been talk of other men.

Sidney: And you believe it?

Tatum: Well, you can only hear that Richard Gere gerbil story so many times before you got to start to believe it. Oh, I'm sorry.

Sidney: Y - Y know if I was wrong about Cotton Weary, the killer's still on the loose.

Tatum: Don't go there, Sid.

Tatum: Your starting to sound like some Wes Carpenter flick or something.

Tatum: Don't freak yourself out, we got a long night in front of us. Okay?

Tatum: Let's boogie.

T. V.: IT'S ALIVE! HENRY! IN THE NAME OF GOD! NOW - I - KNOW!

At the Video store

Man #1: Excuse me, dude.

Man #2: Watch it, Jerk!

Stu: Oh sorry.

Randy: Ohhh.

Randy: Dork.

Stu: Jesus this place is packed tonight.

Randy: We had a run in the mass murder section.

Stu: You coming to my fiesta?

Randy: Yeah, I'm off early cause curfew you know.

Girl: What's that werewolf movie with E.T.'s mom in it?

Randy: The Howling, horror, straight ahead.

Girl: Thanks.

Randy: Now, that's in bad taste.

Stu: What?

Randy: If you were the only suspect in a senseless bloodbath, would you be standing in the horror section?

Stu: What? It was just a misunderstanding. He didn't do anything.

Randy: Your such a little lap dog.

Randy: He's got killer printed all over his forehead.

Stu: Oh really, How come the cops let him go, smart guy?

Randy: Cause they obviously they don't watch enough horror movies. This is standard horror movie stuff. Prom night revisited.

Stu: Yeah? Why would he want to kill his own girlfriend?

Randy: There's always some stupid bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend.

Stu: Oh.

Randy: That's the beauty of it all, simplicity.

Randy: Besides if you get too confusing you lose your target audience.

Stu: Well, what's his reason?

Randy: Maybe Sidney wouldn't have sex with him?

Stu: What is she saving herself for you?

Randy: Maybe. Now that Billy tried to manipulate her. Do you think Sid would go out with me?

Stu: *a long laugh* NO I DON'T AT ALL! NO!

Stu: You know who I think it is?

Stu: I think it's her father. Why can't they find her pops, Man?

Randy: Because he's probably DEAD! His body will come popping up in the last reel or something. Eyes gouged out, fingers cut off, teeth knocked out!

Randy: The police are always off track with this shit!

Stu: Man!

Randy: If they watched Prom Night, they'd save time.

Randy: There's a formula to it. A very simple formula! Everybody is a suspect!

Randy: I'm telling you, The dad's a red herring. It's Billy!

Billy: How do we know it's not your not the killer, huh?

Billy: Huh?

Randy: Hi Billy.

Billy: Maybe your movie freaked mind lost its reality button. Ever think of that?

Randy: Your absolutely right I'm first to admit it. If this was a scary movie I would be the chief suspect.

Stu: What would be your motive?

Randy: It's the Millennium. Motives are incidental.

Billy: "Millennium" hmm.. I like that. That's good. Millennium. Good kid.

Stu: "Millennium" good word my man.

Randy: Your telling me that's not a killer.

In town

Sidney: Sure is quiet. God, look at this place.

Sidney: It's the town of the "Dreaded Sun Down".

Dewey: I saw that movie. It was about a killer in Texas huh?

Tatum: Hey Sid, just think if they make movie about you? Who's Gonna play you?

Sidney: I shudder to think.

Dewey: I see you as a young Meg Ryan myself.

Sidney: Thanks Dewey with my luck they cast Tori Spelling.

Dewey: I'm just Gonna be a few minutes. You girls don't go far.

In the grocery store

Sidney: Is Billy Gonna be there tonight?

Tatum: He'd better not. I told Stu to keep his mouth shut.

Tatum: I think we can live without the endorphin rush for one night.

Sidney: Billy's right. Whenever he touches me I can't relax.

Tatum: So you have a few intimacy issues as a result of your mother's untimely death.

Tatum: That's no big deal Sid. You'll thaw out.

Sidney: Yeah, but he has been so patient with all the sex stuff. How many guys would put up with a girl that's sexually anorexic?

Tatum: Billy and his penis don't deserve you. All right?

At the Woodsboro police station

Sheriff Burke: Dewey, where the hell have you been?

Dewey: I was keeping an eye on Sidney uh- -.

Dewey: Thought you quit?

Sheriff Burke: I did but damn it - -.

Sheriff Burke: Dewey, Vital Phone just faxed us. Those phone calls are listed to Neil Prescott, Sidney's father.

Sheriff Burke: He made those calls with the cellular phone, it's been confirmed.

Dewey: There's no way a cellular could be cloned?

Sheriff Burke: There's more guess what tomorrow is...

Sheriff Burke: The anniversary of his wife's death.

Sheriff Burke: We'll keep the road blocks and curfew in effect through the night.

Sheriff Burke: If he's not picked up by morning, we'll do a house-to-house.

Sheriff Burke: Where's Sidney?

Dewey: She's with my sister.

Dewey: Do you want me to bring her in?

Sheriff Burke: Naw. Not just yet.

Sheriff Burke: Let's find Neil fist, make sure he's our man.

Sheriff Burke: You stay close to Sidney. Don't let her out of your sight.

Dewey: Yes Sir.
