Detectives, there's no reason

to presume that Cotton's death...

had anything to do

with this movie, is there?

He was making a movie called Stab.

He was stabbed.

Probably some psycho fan pissed off

they killed Randy in Stab 2.

Well, Tyson, that'd make you next,

wouldn't it?

I am not a Randy substitute.

I'm my own character.

Named Ricky,

who works at the video store.

It's an homage.

Hey! What if the killer's

Sidney Prescott?

I mean, what the hell ever happened to

her? She's probably off in the woods...

livin' like

the f***in' Unabomber, man.

I'm starting to see why

Tori Spelling and David Schwimmer

didn't want to come back.

Guys, this was about Cotton.

We are not in any danger.

"We are not in any danger,"

says Candy, page 15.

I don't see you leavin'.

You think serious black actors

my age can just throw away jobs?

It's all a business now. They got

Usher doing Pinter off-Broadway.

L.L. Cool J's

Shakespearin' in the park.

- Yeah!

- Maybe it's not meant to be.

Not meant to be? You win that

talent search for the new Sidney.

gotta be praying this movie keeps going.

Of course I am, but not

at the expense of people's lives.

Oh. Cue the violins, right?

Jesus.

Deja voodoo.

We need this area cleared, please.

Clear it.

- Gale Weathers! Oh, my God!

- Sh*t.

I-- Listen,

I-I-- I know we've never met...

and I don't mind you never returning

my calls, but I have to tell you...

after two films,

I feel like I am in your mind.

Well, that would explain

my constant headaches.

You know, I'm sorry things didn't

work out on 60 Minutes II.

Total Entertainment,

that's a pretty good fallback.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry that things didn't

work out with Brad Pitt...

but being single,

that's a pretty good fallback.

Gives me more time

for my work.

After all, Gale Weathers,

you're such a complex character.

Oh, and to be played by an actress

with such depth and range.

Uh,Jennifer,

Nick said you wanted to--

Gale.

Dewey.

Well, surprise, surprise.

Someone dies and Gale comes running.

Gale, I think you'll really appreciate

my character work in this one.

- Someone's helped me

understand the real you.

- Someone?

Your ruthless ambition,

your private self-loathing...

and that lost and lonely

little girl inside.

Lost and lonely what?

You heard me.

Thanks, Dewey, I'll return it.

Lost and lonely what?

- Little girl inside.

- I thought you were

supposed to be in Woodsboro.

Well, I'm surprised

you thought about me at all.

Listen, I gotta get back to work.

I really don't have time for this.

- Wait a minute. You work here?

- Yeah.

The movie needed

a technical advisor.

Someone who went through the real

experience, knew the real people.
