Sidney Prescott

Hey, Detective. What's your favorite scary movie?
Detective Kincaid My life.

Sidney Prescott

Mine, too.

Sid [Sidney turns around from behind and Maureen wearing a white ghost] Give mommy a kiss, little makeup.

Sidney

NO!!

[she tries to grab Sidney]

SIDNEY!! [Sidney jumps out of the window into the roof and falls into the green glass] [turns on the lights]

Dewey
[comes into the movie set]

SID! [running over to Sidney to be crying] Sid, you okay? [Sidney sits up] What happened?

Sidney
[still crying]

The killer is in the house and he's upstairs! [she looks at the window]

Sidney Prescott
[Sidney answers a cell phone at the police station]

Hello?

Sidney Prescott

Hello?

Sidney Prescott

Who is this?

Sidney Prescott

Who is this?

Sidney Prescott

Um, who's calling?

Sidney Prescott

Um, who's calling?

Sidney Prescott

Gale, Dewey, whoever, call me back. I can only hear myself.

I only hear you, too, Sidney.

Sidney Prescott
[Sidney's eyes widen]

Who is this?

The question isn't who I am. The question is: Who's with me? [Sidney hears yells and cries for help from Dewey and Gale, causing Sidney to jump] Don't do it. If you do one thing to attract attention to yourself, one thing, I'll kill them both. Now, do you have somewhere we can be... alone?

Sidney Prescott

Yes.

Yeah. Go there. [Sidney goes into the staff room] Oh, it's hard being friends with you, Sidney. When you're friends with Sidney, you die. Well, these friends don't have to, Sidney. It's up to you.

Sidney Prescott

How do I know their voices are...?

Are real? How do you know you're not hearing things? How do you know I'm not someone in your head? Somewhere, you know. [More yells are heard from Dewey and Gale] Or do you?

Sidney Prescott

You're dead.

I don't want them. I want you. It's simple. You show yourself, they survive. You run, they die! Don't you wanna know, Sidney, who killed her? Don't you wanna know who killed your mother?

Sidney Prescott

Where?

She'd have been so happy, Sidney, to know we'd be together.

Sidney Prescott

Where?!

I'll call you when you're on your way.

Sidney Prescott
[Sidney has reached the house where Ghostface is holding Dewey and Gale hostage. Her cell phone rings. She answers it]

What?

You follow directions well, Sidney. Now, welcome to the final act. See that metal detector? Use it. [Sidney picks up a metal detector] All over, Sidney. Everywhere. [Sidney scans herself] Everywhere. The other leg, too. [Sidney scans her other leg, causing the detector to beep] Show it to me. [She takes out a gun] Throw it in the pool. [She does so] Now, come inside, Sidney.

Sidney Prescott

No **** way. How do I know they're not dead already?

They're right inside, waiting for you. Look for yourself. [Sidney sees Dewey and Gale tied up and walks over to them] Now that we're all here, the party can begin.

[Sidney is confronted by a person in a white, blood-stained cloth, speaking in Maureen's voice]

Sid... Sid... come in here... please. It's just me, Sid. Oh, I was so pretty. Everybody loved me. Have you missed me, Sidney? Would you like to hold me one last time? What's the matter? What are you staring at? Don't you remember your-

[Her voice changes]

Mother?

Ghostface
[The person takes off the cloth, revealing himself to be Ghostface, who locks the doors so Sidney cannot escape] [Speaking in the Phone Voice]

You're not going anywhere, Sidney. It's time you came to terms with me and with Mother. Maybe you never knew her at all, Sidney. Maybe you just can't get past the surface of things. [Reveals his chest is bulletproof]

Sidney Prescott

Who the hell are you?

Ghostface

The other half of you. I searched for a mother, too, an actress named Rina Reynolds, tried to find her my whole life. And four years ago, I actually tracked her down, knocked at her door, thinking she'd welcome me with open arms. But she had a new life and a new name: Maureen Prescott! You were the only child she claimed, Sidney. She shut me out in the cold forever! Her own son.

[Takes off the mask to reveal himself as Roman]

Roman Bridger, director. [Uses voice changer]

Roman Bridger/Phone Voice

And brother.

She slammed the door in my face, Sid. She said I was "Rina's" child and Rina was dead... and then it struck me. What a good idea, so I watched her. I made a little movie, a little family film. Seems Maureen -"Mom"- she really got around. I mean Cotton was one thing; everybody knew about that. But Billy's father - that was the key. Your boyfriend didn't like seeing his daddy in my film too much. He didn't like it at all. And once I supplied the motivation, all the kid needed was a few pointers. Have a partner to sell out in case you got caught, find someone to frame, it was like he was making a movie.

Sidney Prescott

You. This is all because of you.

I'm a director, Sidney. I direct. I had no idea they were gonna make a film of their own. What a film it turned out to be, huh? I mean, introducing Sidney the Victim, Sidney the Survivor, SIDNEY THE STAR!

Sidney Prescott

Fine, you got what you wanted: hero and villain face-to-face. Well, you know what happens now? The villain dies!

Exactly! But I'm not the villain, Sid. You are. [Brings out a captured John Milton] Here he is, the man who gave away your mother's innocence. Huh? What he did to her made her a slut, didn't it? Huh? She never recovered from that night, right here in this room. They **** her three ways from Sunday, ruined her life. Ruined yours, too, didn't it, Sid? You hate him, Sid? Come on, I know you do. I'm sure you do.

Sidney Prescott
[Brings out an answering machine that speaks in Sidney's voice]

I know who you are. I know what happened to my mother, and I want you to understand, I'm gonna make you pay!

That's what the police are gonna find on Milton's answering machine, right next to his lifeless, mutilated corpse. [John mumbles] What? Can't hear ya.

John Milton

You don't have to do this, Roman. Just tell me what you want. I can make it happen. Any picture. Name your budget. Script approval. Final cut!

I already have it.

Sidney Prescott
[He slits John's throat]

No! God! You spineless bastard!

No, Sid, that would be you! You did it all. You did it! You call them all, even your closest... friends. Living in total isolation, the pressure of another movie about you, the discovery that Milton destroyed Mommy dearest, you finally just SNAPPED! And who's our hero, huh? The sole survivor. Who's the one who bravely faced down the psychopath and killed her with her own knife?! You're gonna pay for the life you stole from me, Sid. For the mother, and for the family, and for the stardom, and...GODDAMN IT! EVERYTHING YOU HAVE THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN MINE!

Sidney Prescott

God, why don't stop your whining and get on with it! I've heard this shit before!

Sidney Prescott

Do you know why you kill people, Roman? Do you?

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!

Sidney Prescott

Because you choose to! There is no one else to blame!

GOD **** DAMN IT!

Sidney Prescott

Why don't you take some **** responsibility?!

**** YOU!!!

Sidney Prescott

**** YOU!

Sidney Prescott
[Roman finds a weapon]

Hey! [Lifting up the killer's knife] Lose something?

Found something. [Shooting Sidney with Mark's gun, but she is wearing a bulletproof vest]

Deputy Dewey Riley
[Dewey held gunpoint at a still-not dead Roman.]

Be careful, Sid. Randy said the killer is always superhuman.

Sidney Prescott

Yeah, well, he wasn't superhuman, Dewey. He wasn't superhuman at all.

[Roman gets up and begins to lunges at them. Dewey tries to shoot him, but Roman is still wearing his bulletproof vest as Dewey tries to shoot him.]

**** kill me! You can't **** kill me!!

Sidney Prescott

Head! Head! HEAD, DEWEY!

Deputy Dewey Riley
[turns to Sidney.]

What?!

Sidney Prescott

HEAD! Shoot him in the head!

Deputy Dewey Riley
[Dewey shoots Roman's head.]

Thanks.

Sidney Prescott

No, problem.

Sidney Prescott
[The answering machine rings. Sidney answers it]

California Women's Crisis Counseling. My name is Laura. How can I help you?

Female Voice

Oh, Laura. I do have a crisis.

Sidney Prescott

Okay, well, whatever it is, you can tell me.

Female Voice

Oh, my God! I've killed someone, Laura.

Sidney Prescott

Are you sure?

Female Voice

Uh-huh, I'm sure. I killed someone! I know it! Oh, my God. I did.

Sidney Prescott

Well, then, uh...then the people you need to call are the police.

[The voice suddenly changes to Maureen's voice]

No, I need to call you! Just you.

Sidney Prescott
[confused]

I'm sorry. Your...your voice...

Don't you wanna know how you can help, Laura? Are you listening to me? Huh?

Sidney Prescott

Who is this?

It's Mother, Laura. Now be a good girl and turn on the news. Do as Mother tells you.

Sidney Prescott

You're not my mother. How did you get this number? Who is this?

You know your mother's voice when you hear it! Now turn on the news!

[Sidney turns on the TV to see a news report revealing that Stab 3 is shutting down production due to the recent murders of the film's cast. Maureen's voice changes again]

Just one question. Do you think it's over, Sidney? Do you?!

[After shooting Sidney, Roman, believing he has killed her, prepares to escape, only to become stunned to find Sidney is gone. Roman searches for her in a mixture of rage and desperation, and later attempts to dial his phone, only for it to start ringing. As Roman becomes shocked, realizing what's happening, Sidney appears behind him and stabs Roman in the back twice, causing a screaming Roman to fall down to the ground]

[shocked]

I shot you!

Sidney Prescott
[Sidney reveals that she is also wearing a bulletproof vest, causing Roman to briefly chuckle]

I guess we think alike.

[chuckles painfully]

Mother's dead. And there's nothing you can do about that. I still got to make my movie.

Sidney Prescott
[completely unfazed at Roman's words]

Stab 3, right?

Gale Weathers
[Delivers a third and brutal stab at Roman's chest. At that moment, Dewey and Gale arrive, discovering Roman on the floor, still wearing Ghostface's robe]

Roman? It was Roman?!

Deputy Dewey Riley
[In a brief moment of wanting to connect with Sidney, Roman holds Sidney's hand, which Sidney allows, before falling unconscious. Sidney then stands back up, having foiled Roman's schemes for good]

Be careful, Sid. Randy said the killer's always superhuman.

Sidney Prescott

Yeah, well, he wasn't superhuman, Dewey. He wasn't superhuman at all.

[A screaming Roman gets up and begins to lunge at them in a last-ditch attempt to kill them, only for Dewey to stop him and push him back by shooting him, but as Roman is still wearing his bulletproof vest, he isn't killed.]

****! You can't **** kill me!!

Sidney Prescott

Head! Head! HEAD, DEWEY!

Deputy Dewey Riley
[turns to Sidney.]

What?!

Sidney Prescott

HEAD! Shoot him in the head!

Deputy Dewey Riley
[Dewey shoots Roman's head, finally killing him.]

Thanks.

Sidney Prescott

No problem.
