Wild and isolated. MUSIC PLAYS OVER. Suddenly a GIRL’S
SMILING FACE comes into frame. This is BRADLEY KENNER, 16,
pretty, bright, and effortlessly sexy. She has a depth to her
that makes her seem older than she is - in a good way. She
takes the earbuds out of his ears and smiles a completely
winning smile. END MUSIC.
BRADLEY:
You’re new.
A CABAL OF CUTE TEENAGE GIRLS circle around him. Fresh meat
in a small town. Studying him like he’s in a petri dish.
Norman, not used to this kind of overt attention, covers his
anxiety. Smiles slyly.
NORMAN:
This must be a really small town -
The girls, JENNA, HAYDEN, LISSA, start pummeling him with
questions. Overlapping each other -
BRADLEY:
What’s your name?
NORMAN:
Norman Bates.
JENNA:
When did you move here, Norman
Bates?
NORMAN:
Last night -
BRADLEY:
Where? What house?
NORMAN:
Here. The house at the motel -
10.
HAYDEN:
LISSA:
You actually going to live here or
are you just flipping the property?
NORMAN:
We’re not flipping -
LISSA:
(to Hayden; meaningfully)
He’s not flipping -
JENNA:
You have any brothers?
NORMAN:
An older brother. He doesn’t live
here. Just me and my mom -
BRADLEY:
You have a girlfriend?
Everyone goes silent. Norman feels a little awkward.
NORMAN:
Um, no.
They all smile. A CONVERTIBLE BMW pulls up. The girl behind
the wheel, KENNEDY (17) smiles...
KENNEDY:
Want a ride?
BRADLEY:
(re:
new car)You got it! Oh my God it’s
amazing!
The girls all jump in the car. (We may or may not notice all
the girls have really nice, expensive clothes and accessories
for “small town” kids. Weird.) Bradley grabs Norman’s hand -
BRADLEY (CONT’D)
C’mon -
Norman doesn’t know what he’s getting into but isn’t about to
say “no, I’ll wait for the bus.” He glances toward the
house, a little anxious, hoping his Mom isn’t seeing this.
11.
It’s squished. Norman sits in the middle of the back seat, a
girl on either side. Bradley is on his lap. The girls are
all chattering away, acting like this is all completely
normal. Norman is, on one level, enjoying it, and on
another, deeper level, completely overwhelmed and freaked
out.
HAYDEN:
-- I totally would have hooked up
with him but he had left the party
with Kelly. The slut -
JENNA:
Oh sure - why is she the slut just
because a guy you’re hot for blew
you off and went with her? I
personally think he’s the slut -
