Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan Page #5

RETURN TO SHOT:

Rennie's eyes show a hidden terror. She quickly turns

away, shivering briefly. Miss Van Deusen notices. She

turns a corner, heading into the parking lot.

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

Everything okay?

RENNIE:

Just felt a little chill.

Rennie rubs her arms, faking coldness.

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

Did you know that I'm giving up

teaching?

RENNIE:

Really?

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

Since the school is closing anyway,

I'm going to write that novel I've

been threatening on everybody.

RENNIE:

That's wonderful, Miss Van

Deusen...what's it about?

She parks the car, turning off the ignition.

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

A senior class cruise to Manhattan,

laced with romance, adventure and

murder.

(beat)

Or a Gothic cook book. I haven't

decided which.

She's coaxed the smile out of Rennie again. Miss Van

Deusen pulls a small wrapped box from her glove

compartment, handing it to Rennie, who seems utterly

surprised.

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

Go on, open it.

Rennie pops off the lid, revealing an antique ink-dip

pen.

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

Stephen King supposedly used it when

he was in high school.

RENNIE:

I don't know what to say...

MISS VAN DEUSEN:

Rennie, you're the best student I ever

had...you have a real gift. If anybody

can make use of that pen, it's you.

Rennie hugs her teacher. Camera RISES above the car's

window, finding a Mercedes 560 SL pulling in a short

distance away.

CLOSER ANGLE - MERCEDES

A sexy, money-dressed blonde is behind the wheel. TAMARA

MASON. She climbs from her leather seats as a trio of

SENIOR GIRLS walk by, offering enthusiastic hi's and

hellos. She's obviously Miss Popular. Tamara crosses to a

cute Japanese girl unloading luggage from a beige Honda,

EVA WATANABE.

. TAMARA

Are you ready for drugs, sex and rock

'n roll or what, girl?

Eva gives her a warning glance, nodding to her left.

Eva's MOTHER appears by the passenger door, forcing a

smile at Tamara.

MRS. WATANABE

Hello, Tamara.

TAMARA:

Hi, Mrs. Watanabe. Just kidding.

MRS. WATANABE

Yes, I'm sure.

Embarrassed, Eva hurries to her Mom, rushing a kiss

goodbye.

EVA:

Don't worry about a thing, Mom. I'll

have a terrific time and I won't do

anything stupid, okay?

Before Mrs. Watanabe can squeeze a word in, her daughter

is gone. She waves a bittersweet goodbye to her graduate.

MRS. WATANABE

I love you...

TRACKING WITH TAMARA AND EVA

Once they're out of Mrs. Watanabe's earshot --

TAMARA:

I hear the crew members are cute guys

in their twenties.

EVA:

Really?

TAMARA:

I'm sure we'll have no problem getting

them to party with us...especially

with this.

Tamara unzips her purse, revealing a baggie filled with

fine white powder. Eva looks very nervous.
