A MEDIUM SHOT in front of the bank reveals a day/date/time/temp

sign which blinks:

FRIDAY, 13

FRIDAY, 13

7:
01

60 Degrees

We can begin to hear a small-town DJ OVER as a pick-up truck

moves down the street past the GIRL in her late teens. She has

a knapsack, a freshly scrubbed face, jeans, and a plaid shirt.

She wears her hair in a long braid. She wears Nike jogging

shoes. This is ANNIE.

DJ (V.O.)

It's 7:
01 on Friday the 13th of June.

This is Big Dave and it's time for you

lazy bones to GET OUT OF BED! It's

black cat day in Crystal Lake. Don't

forget the big drawing today to see who

gets our FRIDAY THE 13TH Monster

Surprise:
either a man's digital

continuous readout watch or a Panasonic

color television set!

CUT TO:

10 INT. DINER - MORNING

In CU a hand moves to turn down an old brown plastic radio from

which Big Dave is doing his morning-man routine.

DJ (V.O.)

Don't walk under a ladder! Don't spill

any salt, don't...

The radio is turned way down. We see that the hand belongs to

TRUDY, a hefty waitress who wears her golden hair in a bun with

a pencil stuck in it. BUDDY, the boss, is seen in the BG

working the grill.
