Scream 2 Page #2

---

GHOST MASKED FIGURE appears in his path. Phil steps back, surprised. Suddenly, a flash of

silver shoots forth as Phil is pierced with a long sharp knife. Quick and silent. He bellies

over just as the Ghost Shape strikes again. Phil goes down without a scream.

CUT TO:

INT. LOBBY - SECONDS LATER

Maureen is at the concession. A GIRL at the counter hands her change and Maureen is off with

soda and a tub of popcorn.

INT. DARK THEATER - SECONDS LATER

SCREAMS and GASPS from the audience as the movie plays on.

ON SCREEN:

A patio chair comes flying through a glass door. The young girl in the movie tears off running,

SCREAMING, flying through the room.

IN THE THEATER:

The crowd is really with the movie. Some even talk to the screen. "You dumb b*tch. Get out of

the house." etc.

Maureen makes her way back to her aisle seat. She sits down next to...

PHIL:

who sits with the mask on. The reflection from the movie bouncing against it in the darkness.

MAUREEN:

Give it up.

She sits down, with the popcorn.

MAUREEN:

How many stabs did I miss?

ON SCREEN:

The young girl slips out a side door, completely terrified. In her hand, she holds a portable

phone.

IN THE THEATER:

Maureen offers Phil popcorn.

MAUREEN:

Why doesn't she run?

Phil turns to her, bringing his finger to his masked lips, SSSHHING her.

ON SCREEN:

The young girl runs by a window. She looks in. A GHOST MASKED KILLER stares back. The Figure

CRASHES through the window attacking her. She fights him off, getting away, running...

IN THE THEATER:

Everyone in the theater is SCREAMING. Maureen tries her best to detach herself from the movie.

She eats her popcorn.

MAUREEN:

This is so tired.

She turns her attention to Phil.

MAUREEN:

Hey, you...pasty face...

Phil ignores her. She reaches over in the darkness putting her hand on his knee. She inches it

up. The Ghost-masked Phil just stares ahead.

MAUREEN:

Whatsa the matter? Can't I get your ghost?

ON SCREEN:

The young girl is running through the yard. The Ghost Killer is right behind her, chasing

her...she SCREAMS....

IN THE THEATER:

Maureen pretends to watch the movie while her hand continues to move between Phil's legs. She

stares ahead, WINCING at what's about to happen to the girl on screen.

She doesn't notice as Phil pulls a long sharp hunting knife from inside his coat jacket.

Maureen's hand moves up Phil's jacket...something stops her. She feels something on her

fingers...something wet. She pulls her hand back, the reflected movie illuminating bloody

fingers.

Maureen stares at her hand...

ON SCREEN:

The Ghost advances on the young girl, grabbing her, pulling her to him, raising high a long,

hunting knife. The young girl is helpless...
