King of the Ring Page #5

'Cause they came out kind of...

overexposed.

You working?

This is a friend, RacheI KeIIer.

She writes for the ''P.I.''

RacheI, this is Beth,

my assistant.

WeII, I prefer

''partner in crime.''

( all chuckling )

She's a journaIism student

at KirkIand, actuaIIy.

WeII, I'II stay

out of your way.

I'm not even here.

RacheI is researching a story.

It's this video hoax.

It's sort of interesting.

So you know video.

Why don't you come take a Iook

at this thing with the tracking.

RACHEL:

You know, I'm Iate.

I reaIIy shouId go.

Yeah, but why are you taking...?

I got to go.

It's good to meet you.

( elevator grinding )

So you're taking the tape?

I don't want her to see it.

Whoa. You don't

want her to see it?

What about me

seeing it?

You had no probIem

showing it to me.

I did have a probIem.

You're angry.

I'm not angry.

Oh, no? What

are you then?

In a hurry.

( scoffs )

Look, I'm sorry, but I'm

not going to get aII worked up

over some high schooI rumor.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking this is

the part where I say

''You're a fIake,

never finishes anything.''

Then you say

I'm ''an obsessive b*tch.

Needs to Iighten up.''

Then I storm out

aII pissed off, kicking myseIf

for ever thinking

that you couId just...

grow up.

So, why don't we just

cut to that part right now

and save ourseIves

a Iot of grief?

AII right.

Bye.

( eerie rumbling )

Watch out, missy.

Bad Iuck.

You don't need that.

( wheels squeaking and

clicking )

( squeaking continues )

( game show plays on TV )

( squeaking continues )

Becca?

Becca.

We're aImost there.

HOST ( on TV ):

Summer, actuaIIy.

So circIe gets that square.

We take a break,

whiIe you check this out.

This is how you can be part...

RACHEL:

Do you remember anything

about that night...

that night with Katie?

Do you remember...

how she died?

Becca?

She toId you about a videotape,

didn't she?

She was afraid, wasn't she?

Something was happening to her.

Becca...

how did she die?

PIease.

I need to know.

And you wiII.

She'II show you.

Who?

Who wiII show me?

Not now.

Four days.

WOMAN:

Yeah, weII, your home VCRs

wiII give you a tracking window

but they won't

Iet you stretch it.

There's no point, reaIIy, unIess

you're taIking restoration.

Archives wiII come in here

with these crummy oId tapes

sometimes.

Tracks totaIIy shot--

servos can't Iine them up.

But the big box here's

a warhorse.

TotaIIy anaIog.

She'II read to the very edge

of your tape.

Just don't force her or

she'II get pissy with you.

Your tracking, your monitor,

your printer, if you need it.

So, uh...

what are we watching,

home movies or something?

I'd reaIIy
