Scream 2 Page #5

---

Sidney is mortified. She pushes and shoves but there is no escape. The questions come at her

like lightning. She sees a whole in the crowd and goes for it as a REPORTER, a

flashy woman--all hair and teeth, thick sunglasses, moves in her way.

FLASHY REPORTER:

Did you kill them last night, Sid? Has it gotten to you? Have you finally snapped?

Sidney's eyes flare. Her fist starts to clench when...

BAM! Someone beats her to it. A fist flies out from the crowd, connecting with the flashy

woman's face. She drops. Sid spins around to find...

GALE WEATHERS:

standing, tight-fisted. Their eyes meet. A quick moment. Sidney is happy to see her.

The onslaught continues. Cameras flash, reporters shove. Gale moves in front of Sid, holding

the crowd at bay. The reporters begin to throw questions at Gale.

GALE (to Sid)

Quick, get outta here.

SIDNEY:

What's going on?

GALE:

Just go. l'll find you later.

Sid wastes no time. She takes off, running around the side of the building. She stops, takes a

breath, but the reporters are on her tail. She looks up to see a...

SMALL CAMPUS SECURITY VEHICLE

appear, moving towards her. It slows down.

MAN'S VOICE (from the vehicle)

Hop on, Sid.

Sid goes for it as two hands reach out to help her. One smooth move and Sidney is in the arms

of...

DEWEY RILEY:

She looks at him. Her face a book of questions.

SIDNEY:

What's going on, Dewey?

He smiles at her. A safe, warm smile. His face as cute as ever.

DEWEY:

It'll be alright.

CUT TO:

EXT. SECURITY CART - MINUTES LATER

The security cart trots along, passing STUDENTS coming and going. Dressed smartly in a campus

security outfit, Dewey maneuvers the cart across the campus grounds. Sidney rides beside him,

horrified as she listens to him.

SIDNEY:

Three hundred people watched? Nobody did anything?

DEWEY:

They thought it was a publicity stunt.

SIDNEY:

Oh my God. How could it happen?

DEWEY:

They don't know. It was carefully planned. Earlier in the day the victims received anonymous

passes to the movie.

SIDNEY:

It's a copycat killer I knew this would happen. That f***ing movie.

The cart comes to a stop in front of a building.

DEWEY:

As of now, they don't see any relation. But they're checking it out. The state, Special Task

Force, FBI--they're all here. They'll find the guy.

SIDNEY:

Yeah, right.

DEWEY:

Look, Sid, why don't you take off? Disappear for a few days. I'll come with you.

SIDNEY:

No. I will not crawl under a rock. This is a f***ed-up world and people kill people all the

time. I'll just get used to it.

Dewey steps down off the security cart and helps Sid off.

DEWEY:

Nothing will happen to you. I promise.

Sid's tough demeanor is cracking. She takes a deep breath.
