DEWEY:

That's why I'm here, right? We take care of each other. C'mon, I'll walk you to class.

He starts off, for the first time, a severe limp is visible as his left leg drags behind him.

SIDNEY:

You go, it's all stairs, I can take it from here.

DEWEY:

Don't worry...

SIDNEY:

Dewey, I'm completely equipped with mace, alarm whistle, keyring, knife, a degree in

defensive combat...

DEWEY:

Just in case...

SIDNEY:

No. This is nothing, Dewey. I'll be okay. Go back to work and let me get back to my quasi

pseudo-happy existence.

Sidney reaches up and gives her pseudo-brother a kiss, then takes off for the building.

Dewey watches until she disappears inside, then limps back to his security cart.

CUT TO:

EXT. STUDENT UNION PARKING LOT - MINUTES LATER

A newsvan pulls up and parks next to a trough of other newsvans and REPORTERS. Some are doing

live remotes, others ready themselves for the next onslaught.

Gale gets out of the newsvan, her cellular affixed to her ear.

GALE:

I don't know...no one's talking. What's the studio's position? Never happen. They'd be stupid

to pull the movie. With all this free press--they're gonna have huge numbers this weekend.

It'll break box office records. Of course I have bumps.

Gale's CAMERAMAN can be seen behind her, in the van fussing with equipment.

GALE (cont'd)

I need two minutes at six o'clock.

I wanna do a piece on the slain kids--no sympathy sh*t--let's stick with the movie angle.

I wanna pull a clip from an old film...

Gale turns to her cameraman, snapping her fingers.

GALE (cont'd)

Hey, what was the name of that movie?

The guy looks up at her. It's RANDY. Two years older but still the charming jokester.

RANDY:

HE KNOWS YOU'RE ALONE. MGN/UA. 1980. Tom Hanks' first film.

GALE (cont'd)

(into phone)

HE KNOWS YOU'RE ALONE. Yeah, find it. Don't worry, I've got it covered...I have a plan.

Yeah, I'll get it. Give it a rest--I said I'll get it. Later.

She hangs up, turning to Randy.

GALE (cont'd)

Pressure's on. You ready for this?

RANDY:

I'm there, man. No worries. I got ya covered. I'm so there. That's why I'm here--because

I'm there.

Randy holds up his camera--stoked.

CUT TO:

INT. SCHOOL OF FILM - LATER

Sidney moves down a hallway. Not your typical school building. Through open doorways, film

equipment is glimpsed. Editing bays and the like. She's in the Film Department.

She comes upon an open door and peers in. A large room, a class is in progress.

She slips in quietly.

INT. CLASSROOM - SAME

Sidney takes a seat at the back of the room. A handful of FILM STUDENTS sit around on torn

couches heavy in discussion. Sid goes unnoticed as she watches a whirlwind debate.

A SNOTTY GUY is pontificating a point.
