FADE IN:
ON A RINGING TELEPHONE.
A hand reaches for it, bringing the receiver up to the face
of CASEY BECKER, a young girl, no more than sixteen. A
friendly face with innocent eyes.
CASEY:
Hello.
MAN'S VOICE
(from phone)
Hello.
Silence.
CASEY:
Yes.
MAN:
Who is this?
CASEY:
Who are you trying to reach?
MAN:
What number is this?
CASEY:
What number are you trying to reach?
MAN:
I don't know.
CASEY:
I think you have the wrong number.
MAN:
Do I?
CASEY:
It happens. Take it easy.
CLICK! She hangs up the phone. The CAMERA PULLS BACK to reveal
Casey in a living room, alone. She moves from the living
room to the kitchen. It's a nice house. Affluent.
INT. KITCHEN
Casey grabs the portable.
CASEY:
Hello.
MAN:
I'm sorry. I guess I dialed the wrong
number.
CASEY:
So why did you dial it again?
MAN:
To apologize.
CASEY:
You're forgiven. Bye now.
MAN:
Wait, wait, don't hang up.
Casey stands in front of a sliding glass door. It's pitch
black outside.
CASEY:
What?
MAN:
I want to talk to you for a second.
CASEY:
They've got 900 numbers for that.
Seeya.
CLICK! Casey hangs up. A grin on her face.
EXT. CASEY'S HOUSE - NIGHT - ESTABLISHING
A big country home with a huge sprawling lawn full of big
oak trees. It sits alone with no neighbors in sight.
INT. KITCHEN
Popcorn sizzles in a pot on the stove. Casey covers it with
a lid, reaching for the portable phone.
CASEY:
Hello.
MAN:
Why don't you want to talk to me?
CASEY:
Who is this?
MAN:
You tell me your name, I'll tell you
mine.
CASEY:
(shaking the popcorn)
I don't think so.
MAN:
What's that noise?
Casey smiles, playing along, innocently.
CASEY:
Popcorn.
MAN:
You're making popcorn?
CASEY:
Uh-huh.
MAN:
I only eat popcorn at the movies.
CASEY:
I'm getting ready to watch a video.
MAN:
Really? What?
CASEY:
Just some scary movie.
MAN:
Do you like scary movies?
CASEY:
Uh-huh.
MAN:
What's your favorite scary movie?
He's flirting with her. Casey moves away from the stove and
takes a seat at the kitchen counter, directly in front of
the glass door.
CASEY:
I don't know.
MAN:
You have to have a favorite.
Casey thinks for second.
CASEY:
Uh... HALLOWEEN. You know, the one
with the guy with the white mask who
just sorta walks around and stalks
the baby sitters. What's yours?
MAN:
Guess.
CASEY:
Uh... NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET.
MAN:
Is that the one where the guy had
knives for fingers?
CASEY:
Yeah... Freddy Krueger.
MAN:
Freddy -- that's right. I liked that
movie. It was scary.
CASEY:
The first one was, but the rest
sucked.
MAN:
So, you gotta boyfriend?
CASEY:
(giggling)
Why? You wanna ask me out?
MAN:
Maybe. Do you have a boyfriend?
CASEY:
No.
MAN:
You never told me your name.
Casey smiles, twirling her hair.
CASEY:
Why do you want to know my name?
MAN:
Because I want to know who I'm looking
at.
Casey spins around like lightning facing the glass door.
CASEY:
What did you say?
MAN:
I want to now who I'm talking to.
