Friday the 13th Page #5

OIL MAN:

Okay, Annie. Let's go.

ANNIE steps aside as the OIL MAN heads for the front door. He

is smirking. He's fifty, strong, and balding. He makes no

attempts to hide his appreciation for ANNIE's figure.

They exits.

TRUDY:

I wouldn't send my kids to that camp for

all the tea in China.

SALESMAN:

(kidding)

I thought you hated your kids.

TRUDY looks around, does a take, then laughs.

CUT TO:

11 EXT. TOWN STREET - MORNING

ANNIE walks a half step behind the OIL MAN, heading for his

truck which is parked there on the street.

OIL MAN:

All the girls up there gonna look as

good as you?

ANNIE:

I don't know.

ANNIE wonders if she should accept the ride with this guy.

Suddenly, from between two parked cars pops RALPH, a crazy hobo

who has two dead rats in his mouth, their tails in his teeth;

they swing from him like a strange beard.

OIL MAN:

Goddamnit, Ralph! Get outta here.

(to ANNIE)

Don't worry about him. He's harmless.

(back to Ralph)

G'won. Git!

RALPH:

It's Friday the 13th.

He giggles and skulks away.

OIL MAN:

Climb on up, Miss.

The OIL MAN gives her a boost up and then climbs aboard the rig.

CUT TO:

12 INT. OIL TRUCK - DAY

As the truck pulls away, we see RALPH through the windshield,

standing at the edge of the road. He is angry and upset now.

He pats his rats.

The OIL MAN shifts, looks over and smiles. His two front teeth

are missing on top.

OIL MAN:

Must be the fourth time somebody's tried

to reopen that place.

ANNIE:

Camp Crystal Lake?

He nods.

OIL MAN:

Something always happens up there.

He turns on the radio in the cab and we hear the DJ again.

DJ (V.O.)

...of bed. I'm gonna count to three and

then you better get up. It's 7:24. A

beautiful day. Weatherman Dr. Jim says

it's gonna be a nine point five day.

Here's Meatloaf from the Bat Out of Hell

album.

CUT TO:

13 EXT. RURAL ROADS - DAY

The oil truck thunders along the road.

CUT TO:

14 EXT. RURAL CROSSROADS - DAY

The oil truck has stopped. ANNIE stands alongside the driver's

side.

OIL MAN:

Don't let the spooks getcha, Annie.
