Ouija Page #4

Laine takes a breath. !She steps to a BULLETIN BOARD, covered

in mementos and photos. Almost all of the pictures are of

Debbie and Laine. Through the years. Birthday parties.

Camping trips. School dances. Arms around each other.

8.

A faint CREAK. Laine looks over... and the closet door is

again slightly open. She stares... unaware that a FIGURE is

now right behind her.

MRS. GALARDI (O.S.)

You were everything to her.

Laine spins and sees Debbie’s MOTHER standing there. !The

woman’s eyes wild with grief..

LAINE:

Mrs. G...

(devastating beat)

I can’t believe she’s gone.

Laine hugs Debbie’s mom. !Holds her tight in the silence.

And then Mrs. Galardi pulls back, looks at Laine.

MRS. GALARDI

Do you understand this, Laine? Why

would my baby do this to herself? .

Tears run down Laine’s cheeks. !All of this simply too much.

LAINE:

I don’t know..

Mrs. Galardi steps away... glances around. !Being in this

room, the despair is so immense..

Mrs. Galardi starts collecting some of her daughter’s

possessions and putting them in a box. !A bracelet. !An old

Flip camera. Pulling photos from the bulletin board.

Laine watches her with concern, not understanding.

LAINE (CONT’D)

Mrs. G....

MRS. GALARDI

She’d want you to have these. This

way a part of her is always with

you...

Mrs. Galardi hands Laine the box of mementos..

MRS. GALARDI (CONT’D)

Always remember her.

Laine nods. !Her heart breaking.

EXT. LAINE’S HOUSE - NIGHT

A very similar two-story style as Debbie’s house. !Same

neighborhood. The sudden SOUND OF GIRLS LAUGHING takes us -

9.

FLIP CAMERA VIDEO SCREEN. Recent footage. Laine and Debbie

trying on dresses in a small store changing room. Laughing.

Posing in the mirror. Hamming it up for the camera.

DEBBIE:

That’s the one. Very hot. Lemme

see that booty shake!

SALESPERSON (O.S.)

Ladies, I need you to keep it down

in there. We do have other

customers.

Laine and Debbie laugh so hard they can barely breathe.

swirling. Debbie holds the camera out, getting a two-shot of

ANOTHER MOMENT. Laine and Debbie in their dresses. In

Debbie’s house. Saying goodbye to Debbie’s parents.

ANOTHER MOMENT. School dance. Music pumping. Lights

her and Laine. The kind of night you want to last forever.

Image freezes. A GLITCH. It makes Debbie’s frozen laugh

look like a scream.

INT. LAINE’S ROOM - NIGHT

Laine’s on her bed with the box of mementos. Laptop open

next to her revealing Debbie’s Facebook page -- now a

memorial. Memories and messages from friends popping up.

Laine tries to get the Flip camera working again, but it’s

stuck on that image of Debbie. Laine sets it aside.
