[first lines; phone rings] [picks up phone]

Hello?

Phone Voice

Hello?

Casey Becker

Yes?

Phone Voice

Who is this?

Casey Becker

Um…who are you trying to reach?

Phone Voice

What number is this?

Casey Becker

What number are you trying to reach?

Phone Voice

I don't know.

Casey Becker

Well? I think you have a wrong number.

Phone Voice

Do I?

Casey Becker

It happens. Take it easy. [hangs up, goes to kitchen; phone rings again; Casey picks it up] Hello?

Phone Voice

I'm sorry. I guess I dialed the wrong number.

Casey Becker

So why'd you dial it again?

Phone Voice

To apologize.

Casey Becker

You're forgiven. Bye now.

Phone Voice

Wait! Wait. Don't hang up.

Casey Becker

What?

Phone Voice

I wanna talk to you for a second.

Casey Becker

They've got 900 numbers for that. See ya. [hangs up. Goes to the kitchen, turns on a burner, and prepares to cook up Jiffy Pop popcorn. The phone rings a third time] Ugh. [picks up phone] Hello?

Phone Voice

Why don't you want to talk to me?

Casey Becker

Who is this?

Phone Voice

You tell me your name, I'll tell you mine.

Casey Becker

I don't think so. [shakes the Jiffy Pop]

Phone Voice

What's that noise?

Casey Becker

Popcorn.

Phone Voice

You're making popcorn?

Casey Becker

Uh-huh.

Phone Voice

I only eat popcorn at the movies.

Casey Becker

Well, I'm getting ready to watch a video.

Phone Voice

Really? What?

Casey Becker

Oh, just some scary movie.

Phone Voice

You like scary movies?

Casey Becker

Uh-huh.

Phone Voice

What's your favorite scary movie?
Casey Becker Uh, I don't know.

Phone Voice

You have to have a favorite. What comes to mind?

Casey Becker

Um, Halloween. [pulls out knife] You know, the one with the guy in the white mask who walks around and stalks baby-sitters. [puts back knife]

Phone Voice

Yeah.

Casey Becker

What's yours?

Phone Voice

Guess.

Casey Becker

Um, Nightmare on Elm Street. [picks up VHS tapes]

Phone Voice

Is that the one where the guy had knives for fingers?

Casey Becker

Yeah, Freddy Krueger.

Phone Voice

Freddy, that's right. I liked that movie. It was scary.

Casey Becker
[locks door]

Well, the first one was, but the rest sucked. [goes to living room]

Phone Voice

So, you got a boyfriend?

Casey Becker

Why? You wanna ask me out on a date?

Phone Voice

Maybe. Do you have a boyfriend?

Casey Becker

No.

Phone Voice

You never told me your name.

Casey Becker

Why do you want to know my name?

Phone Voice

'Cause I want to know who I'm looking at.

Casey Becker
[eyes widen in horror]

What did you say?

Phone Voice

I want to know who I'm talking to.

Casey Becker

That's not what you said.

Phone Voice

What do you think I said? [Casey checks outside] What? Hello?

Casey Becker

Look, I gotta go.

Phone Voice

Wait! I thought we were gonna go out.

Casey Becker

Uh, nah, I don't think so. [locks door]

Phone Voice

Don't hang up on me! [Casey hangs up]

Casey Becker
[phone rings a fourth time]

Shit. [picks up phone] Yes?

Phone Voice
[in a threatening tone]

I told you not to hang up on me.

Casey Becker

What do you want?

Phone Voice

To talk.

Casey Becker

Well...dial someone else, okay? [hangs up]

Casey Becker
[phone rings a fifth time] [picks up phone annoyed]

Listen, asshole!

Phone Voice

No, you listen, you little bitch! You hang up on me again, I'll gut you like a fish, understand?! [chuckles] Yeah.

Casey Becker

Is this some kind of joke?

Phone Voice

More of a game, really. Can you handle that, Blondie? [Casey rushes to lock two doors, looks out the front door] Can you see me?

Casey Becker

Listen. I am two seconds away from calling the police.

Phone Voice

They'd never make it in time. We're out in the middle of nowhere.

Casey Becker

What do you want?

Phone Voice

To see what your insides look like. [Casey begins crying, hangs up phone]

Casey Becker
[doorbell rings twice]

Aah! Who's there?! Who's there? I'm calling the police! [phone rings; Casey jumps with horror, picks it up]

Phone Voice

You should never say "Who's there?". Don't you watch scary movies? It's a death wish! You might as well just come out here to investigate a strange noise or something.

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

Look, you've had your fun now, so I think you better just leave or else...

Phone Voice

Or else what?

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

Or else my boyfriend will be here any minute, and he'll be pissed when he finds out.

Phone Voice

I thought you didn't have a boyfriend.

Casey Becker

I lied! I do have a boyfriend and he'll be here any second, so your ass better be gone.

Phone Voice
[sarcastically]

Sure.

Casey Becker

I swear! [angrily] He's big and he plays football, and he'll kick the shit out of you!

Phone Voice
[false terror]

I'm getting scared! Shakin' in my boots.

Casey Becker
[terrified sobbing]

So you better just leave...

Phone Voice

His name wouldn't be Steve, would it?

Casey Becker
[eyes widen in shock]

How do you know his name?

Phone Voice

Turn on the patio lights...again.

Casey Becker
[turns on patio light, scared; looks outside, sees Steve tied in a chair, his mouth taped]

Oh, God! [unlocks and opens door]

Phone Voice

I wouldn't do that if I were you!

Casey Becker
[closes and locks door in fear] [scared crying]

Where are you? Where are you?

Phone Voice

Guess.

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

Please don't hurt him.

Phone Voice

That all depends on you.

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

Why are you doing this?

Phone Voice

I wanna play a game.

Casey Becker
[crying]

No.

Phone Voice

Then he dies right now!

Casey Becker
[screaming and crying]

No!! No!

Phone Voice

Which is it? [serious tone] Which is it?

Casey Becker
[crying]

Well...what kind of a game?

Phone Voice

Turn off the light. You'll see what kind of game. Just do it!  [Casey walks to light switch]

Steve Orth
[muffled]

No, Casey! No! No! [Casey switch lights off] No! Casey!!

Phone Voice

Here's how we play: I ask a question. If you get it right, Steve lives.
Casey Becker [unplugs television] [sobbing] Please don't do this.

Phone Voice

Come on, it'll be fun.

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

Please.

Phone Voice

It's an easy category.

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

Please.

Phone Voice

Movie trivia. I'll even give you a warm-up question.

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

Don't do this. I can't.

Phone Voice

Name the killer in Halloween.

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

No.

Phone Voice

Come on, it's your favorite scary movie, remember? He had a white mask. He stalked the baby-sitters.

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

I don't know.

Phone Voice

Come on. Yes, you do.

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

No, please.

Phone Voice

What's his name?

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

I-I can't think.

Phone Voice

Steve's counting on you.

Casey Becker
[stops sobbing]

Michael-- Michael Myers.

Phone Voice

Yes! Very good! Now for the real question.

Casey Becker

No!

Phone Voice

But you're doing so well. We can't stop now.

Casey Becker

Please stop! Leave us alone!

Phone Voice

Then answer the question. Same category.

Casey Becker

Oh, please stop.

Phone Voice

Name the killer in Friday the 13th.

Casey Becker

Jason! Jason! Jason!

Phone Voice

I'm sorry. That's the wrong answer!

Casey Becker

No, it's not! No, it's not. It was Jason.

Phone Voice

Afraid not. No way.

Casey Becker

Listen, it was Jason! I saw that movie twenty Goddamn times!

Phone Voice

Then you should know Jason's mother, Mrs. Voorhees, was the original killer! Jason didn't show up until the sequel. I'm afraid that was a wrong answer.

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

You tricked me.

Phone Voice

Lucky for you, there's a bonus round. But poor Steve, I'm afraid, he's out!

Phone Voice
[Steve dies] [laughs evilly]

Hey, we're not finished yet. Final question. Are you ready?

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

Please, please, leave me alone.

Phone Voice

Answer the question and I will. What door am I at?

Casey Becker

What?

Phone Voice

There are two main doors to your house. The front door and the patio doors. If you answer correctly, you live. Very simple.

Casey Becker
[sobbing]

Don't do this. I can't, I won't.

Phone Voice

Your call. [window smashes]

Sidney Prescott
[answering the phone]

Tatum, just get in the car--

Phone Voice

Hello, Sidney.

Sidney Prescott

Uh, hi. Who is this?

Phone Voice

You tell me.

Sidney Prescott

Well, I have no idea.

Phone Voice

Scary night, isn't it? With the murders and all, it's like right out of a horror movie or something.

Sidney Prescott
[chuckles]

Randy, you gave yourself away. Are you calling from work? 'Cause Tatum's on her way over.

Phone Voice

Do you like scary movies, Sidney?

Sidney Prescott

I like that thing you're doing with your voice, Randy. It's sexy.

Phone Voice

What's your favorite scary movie?

Sidney Prescott

Oh, come on. You know I don't watch that shit.

Phone Voice

Why not? Too scared?

Sidney Prescott

No, no. It's just, what's the point? They're all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can't act, who's always running up the stairs when she should be going out the front door. It's insulting.

Phone Voice

Are you alone in the house?

Sidney Prescott

Randy, that's so unoriginal. I'm disappointed in you.

Phone Voice

Maybe that's because I'm not Randy.

Sidney Prescott
[eyes widen]

So, who are you?

Phone Voice

The question isn't "Who am I?". The question is, "Where am I?"

Sidney Prescott

S-s-so, where are you?

Phone Voice

Your front porch.

Sidney Prescott

Why would you be calling from my front porch?

Phone Voice

That's the original part.

Sidney Prescott
[checks front porch; no one seems to be there]

Oh, yeah?  Well, I call your bluff. [goes outside, looks around, sees no one] So where are you?

Phone Voice

Right here.

Sidney Prescott
[looks around, sees no one]

Can you see me right now?

Phone Voice

Uh-huh.

Sidney Prescott

Uh-huh, okay.[picks nose] What am I doing? Huh? What am I doing? Hello? [laughs] Nice try, Randy. Tell Tatum to hurry up, okay? Bye, now.

Phone Voice

If you hang up on me, you'll die just like your mother! [Sidney's eyes widen in horror] Do you wanna die, Sidney? Your mother sure didn't.

Sidney Prescott

**** you, you cretin!

Sidney Prescott

Hello?

Phone Voice

Hello, Sidney.

Sidney Prescott
[eyes widen]

No!

Phone Voice

Poor Billy-boyfriend. An innocent guy doesn't stand a chance with you.

Sidney Prescott

Leave me alone!

Phone Voice

Looks like you fingered the wrong guy, again.

Sidney Prescott

Who are you?

Phone Voice

Don't worry. You'll find out soon enough. I promise.
