Debbie Salt

Excuse me, Ms. Weathers? Um? Could I have a minute?

Gale Weathers

No.

Debbie Salt

Just one second. I-I know you probably get this all the time, but I just wanted to say I am such a big fan of your work. I just finished your book. I-I couldn't put it down. Insightful, probing... I just really, really loved your book.

Gale Weathers

Thank you.

Debbie Salt

Sure

Gale Weathers

Thanks. [she is about to leave, but Debbie follows her]

Debbie Salt

I'm a writer myself. I write for the local paper, for the Post Telegram. I'm Debbie Salt. [shakes Gale's hand] I took your seminar in Chicago last year. I was the one in the front row asking all the questions.

Gale Weathers

Right. I thought you looked familiar.

Debbie Salt

Oh, thank you. Um, can't wait to see the movie. You know, you must be getting quite a lot of flak on that, right? I mean, with all the violence-in-cinema issues. What is your position going to be?

Gale Weathers

No comment.

Debbie Salt
[Gale leaves, as Debbie keeps following her]

Miss Weathers, please... I-I would... It would be such an honour for me if I could just get a quote from you for my story.--- [Gale stops]

Gale Weathers

Okay. Begin quote:

Debbie Salt

Great.

Gale Weathers
[quoting]

"Your flattering remarks are both desperate and obvious."
[Gale walks away, leaving Debbie speechless]

Gale Weathers

Hello, Sidney.

Gale Weathers
[Sidney turns to Gale with Joel who began to record their interview]

How are you?

Sidney Prescott

Hi... What do you want, Gale?

Gale Weathers

Well, I was hoping I might get just a few words with you.

Sidney Prescott
[Cotton appears]

Cotton.

Cotton Weary

Hi, Sidney.

Gale Weathers
[Gale starts her report, while Joel is recording] [reporting]

"Here we are at Windsor College, where Sidney Prescott has just been reunited with Cotton Weary for the first time, since she wrongly accused him of murdering her mother."---

Sidney Prescott
[interrupts her interview]

What the hell are you doing?

Gale Weathers

We want to know how you feel? [continues her interview] Tell us everything that's happened, looking back on the last two years?

Cotton Weary
[Gale aims her microphone to Cotton, who began to talk to Sidney]

Uh Sidney, I'd just like to say that I forgive and forget. And just like you, I'd like to get back on with my own life.

Gale Weathers
[reporting]

Do you have any comments?

Sidney Prescott

You... bitch!--- [lunging at Gale]

Gale Weathers

Ah-ah.

Derek Feldman
[stops Sidney and calms her down]

Whoa, Hey, hey, hey hey, Deep breaths, Lot of deep breaths.

Gale Weathers
[Sidney began to leave]

Oh Sidney, share with us, please!--- [Sidney turns around and slaps Gale in the face]

Sidney Prescott
[lunges at Gale]

I'll share with you!

Derek Feldman
[Derek manage to grab Sidney away from Gale]

Okay, okay, okay.

Hallie McDaniel
[Hallie walks to Joel] [to Joel]

Did you get that on film?

Joel
[mocks Hallie while recording]

"Yes, I got that on film"!

Gale Weathers
[Gale smokes a cigarette, stops, turns to Dewey and Randy]

Sorry. All right, Let's just assume the killer is repeating Woodsboro...

Gale Weathers
[Gale's phone rings; she answers it]

Yes?

Gale's Agent
[on the phone]

I have Bob calling.

Gale Weathers

I'll have to call you back. [hangs up phone]

Randy Meeks

That doesn't explain Sidney's attack. Sidney wasn't killed in Woodsboro. Wasn't for a lack of trying. The killer is trying to finish what was started.

Gale Weathers

Well Sid's under protection, right?

Randy Meeks

Yeah.

Gale Weathers
[Gale's phone rings again; she answers it]

What?

Gale's Agent
[on the phone]

Bob really needs to talk to you.

Gale Weathers

Tell Bob I'll call him back. [hangs up phone]

Deputy Dewey Riley

When'd she start smoking?

Randy Meeks

Ever since those nude pictures on the internet.

Gale Weathers

It was just my head. It was Jennifer Aniston's body. Anyway, you're forgetting something. In Woodsboro, there were more victims before the homestretch.; Tatum, my cameraman, Himbry...---

Joel

Time out! I don't need to be hearing about no dead cameramen, all right? Now I'm warning you guys. I am a verb away from vacating these premises. I'm gonna get me some coffee, donuts, Prozac, see If I can find some crack, Special KX, "not Malcolm and I'll be back when you guys start talking about something a little more Saved By The Bellish, all right?

Deputy Dewey Riley
[Joel leaves]

He seems a little shaky.

Gale Weathers

Don't worry about him. If the killer is following a pattern, maybe we can figure out who's next.

Deputy Dewey Riley

I wouldn't follow a killer's pattern. We were all involved In Woodsboro. Could be any one of us.

Gale Weathers

So what do you wanna do, bonehead? Sit here, wait and see who drops next?

Deputy Dewey Riley

Well, I don't know... [Gale's phone rings again] "Phonehead"!

Randy Meeks
[Gale's phone kept ringing; Randy gets her phone and answers it]

Gale's not here!---

Phone Voice

I'm not interrupting anything, am I? You three look deep in thought. Have you ever felt a knife cut through human flesh and scrape the bone beneath? [the voice laughs evilly]

Randy Meeks

It's him.

Deputy Dewey Riley

Who?

Randy Meeks

The killer. He can see us.

Deputy Dewey Riley

Just keep him on the phone.

Randy Meeks

What do you want me to say?

Deputy Dewey Riley

I-I don't know. Just keep him talking. Come on, Gale.

Randy Meeks

Uh... Hi. -

Gale Weathers

What are we doing?

Deputy Dewey Riley

Look for somebody with a cell phone.

Randy Meeks

So, uh... what's your favorite scary movie?

Phone Voice

You'll never find me.

Randy Meeks

What do you care? Let'em have their fun. So, uh... what's up?

Phone Voice

What's your favorite scary movie?

Randy Meeks

Showgirls. Absolutely frightening. What's yours? Wait. Let me guess. The House on Soroity Row? The Dorm that dripped blood? Splatter university? Graduation day? Final exam? Am I close?

Phone Voice

Closer than you think. [A random person bumps into Randy] Too slow, geek. Do you want to die?

Randy Meeks

Is that the best you can do? Because Billy and Stu were much more original.

Phone Voice

Why are you even here, Randy? You'll never be the leading man.

Randy Meeks

****! YOU!

Phone Voice

No matter how hard you try, you'll never be the hero and you'll never, ever get the girl.

Randy Meeks
[Randy attacks a man on a phone next to a van, believing he's the killer, but he's not]

Sorry.

Phone Voice

Wrong guy, dead boy.

Randy Meeks

Oh, yeah? Well, let's re-direct the moment, Mr. I'm So Original. Huh? Where's your motivation? Huh? Why copycat two high school loser ass dickheads? Stu was a pussy ass wet rag. And Billy Loomis? Billy Loomis, what the ****? Jesus! What a rat looking homo repressed momma's boy! Why not set your goals higher, huh? You wanna be one of the big boys? Huh? Manson, Bundie, O.J, Son of...
[Ghostface attacks Randy and kills him]

Gale Weathers
[checking Mrs. Loomis.]

Is she dead?

Sidney Prescott

I don't know. They always come back.

Cotton Weary
[Mickey starts to rise, but Sidney and Gale shoot him many times, until he is dead.]

Whoa!

Sidney Prescott
[They all turn around to Mrs. Loomis as Sidney shoots her in the head, dead.]

Just in case.
[Sidney drops the gun and leaves.]
