The Butchering Page #2

of those victims?

You wouldn't be so

smug then, would ya?

You absolutely disgust me.

Anyway...

I do apologize for

ending the show

on such a sour

note, but as I said,

Noel Dickson will be here

to take you right

through until midnight.

I'm Cora Burkes.

Until next time.

Cora, I'm so sorry.

We've been screening

them all night.

And I don't know what happened.

Not your fault, Steven.

It is the anniversary,

what can I say?

Yeah, well I'll

be back on Monday

and everything will

be calmed down.

Yeah?

Yeah, until then, I have

a three-day appointment

with my quilt covers.

See you later.

Do you think she sleeps

with a gun under her pillow?

I don't know but

one man's sliding in

the front, you know?

(chuckling)

(phone buzzing)

Listen, if it's

about your car,

I told you I need

to take it tonight.

Are you out of your mind?

Maybe you don't care about

embarrassing yourself

on the radio, but

you have a sister

that has to go to

school tomorrow.

I've listened in even the

Tommy Miller talk, you know.

Take it easy, will ya.

I doubt many of your friends

listen to the radio

anymore, Annabelle.

This is bullshit!

Everyone's gonna

be staring at me

and talking about

my psycho sister!

Hey, shut up.

Who do you think

you are, Annabelle?

You have no idea how tough

this weekend is for me.

And what about me?

Do you not realize

this is hard for me

to live with the stigma of

this whole shitty thing!

(sighs)

Well, I'll tell you what.

If you don't like the

stigma of this whole thing,

why don't you just move

back in with mum, huh?

If you can't deal

with real life.

Oh, get over yourself,

Cora, I didn't...

(sighs)

F***.

(door squeaking)

(ominous music)

(door clicks)

Cora?

(menacing music)

(door slams shut)

Annabelle?

Annabelle, get down here.

I want to talk to you.

Annabelle!

Annabelle.

Let me in.

Let me in or I'm

gonna open the door.

Annabelle, I know

you're not sleeping.

Look, I'm sorry I

should invite you.

I didn't mean to, but

you were cheeky too.

I mean, you know how hard

this weekend is for me.

It's the same every year.

I know it isn't fair that you

have to put up with it too.

You just have to

be patient with me.

I'm sorry about what I said

about making you move

back in with mum.

You can stay here if you want.

Are we okay?

(sighs)

Annabelle, come on.

I mean, what more do

you want me to say?

Annabelle!

(Cora screams)

(Cora sobs)

(screams)

(menacing music)

(Cora screams)

(cries)

(menacing music)

No!

(menacing music)

(groans)

(sobs)

(screams)

(phone ringing)

Right, there's

money in the safe.

Steve and Ella from next

door have the spare key.

And you know if you need me,
