Casey Becker
[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 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]
SO 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!
