Scream1996

[doorbell rings twice]

Casey Becker:
Aah! Who's there?! Who's there? I'm calling the police! [phone rings; Casey jumps with horror, picks it up]

Phone Voice:
You should never say "Who's there?". Don't you watch scary movies? It's a death wish! You might as well just come out here to investigate a strange noise or something.

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] Look, you've had your fun now, so I think you better just leave or else...

Phone Voice:
Or else what?

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] Or else my boyfriend will be here any minute, and he'll be pissed when he finds out.

Phone Voice:
I thought you didn't have a boyfriend.

Casey Becker:
I lied! I do have a boyfriend and he'll be here any second, so your ass better be gone.

Phone Voice:
[sarcastically] Sure.

Casey Becker:
I swear! [angrily] He's big and he plays football, and he'll kick the sh*t out of you!

Phone Voice:
[false terror] I'm getting scared! Shakin' in my boots.

Casey Becker:
[terrified sobbing] So you better just leave...

Phone Voice:
His name wouldn't be Steve, would it?

Casey Becker:
[eyes widen in shock] How do you know his name?

Phone Voice:
Turn on the patio lights...again.

Casey Becker:
[turns on patio light, scared; looks outside, sees Steve tied in a chair, his mouth taped] Oh, God! [unlocks and opens door]

Phone Voice:
I wouldn't do that if I were you!

Casey Becker:
[closes and locks door in fear] [scared crying] Where are you? Where are you?

Phone Voice:
Guess.

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] Please don't hurt him.

Phone Voice:
That all depends on you.

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] Why are you doing this?

Phone Voice:
I wanna play a game.

Casey Becker:
[crying] No.

Phone Voice:
Then he dies right now!

Casey Becker:
[screaming and crying] No!! No!

Phone Voice:
Which is it? [serious tone] Which is it?

Casey Becker:
[crying] Well...what kind of a game?

Phone Voice:
Turn off the light. You'll see what kind of game. Just do it!  [Casey walks to light switch]

Steve Orth:
[muffled] No, Casey! No! No! [Casey switch lights off] No! Casey!!

Phone Voice:
Here's how we play: I ask a question. If you get it right, Steve lives.

Casey Becker [unplugs television] [sobbing] Please don't do this.

Phone Voice:
Come on, it'll be fun.

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] Please.

Phone Voice:
It's an easy category.

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] Please.

Phone Voice:
Movie trivia. I'll even give you a warm-up question.

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] Don't do this. I can't.

Phone Voice:
Name the killer in Halloween.

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] No.

Phone Voice:
Come on, it's your favorite scary movie, remember? He had a white mask. He stalked the baby-sitters.

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] I don't know.

Phone Voice:
Come on. Yes, you do.

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] No, please.

Phone Voice:
What's his name?

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] I-I can't think.

Phone Voice:
Steve's counting on you.

Casey Becker:
[stops sobbing] Michael-- Michael Myers.

Phone Voice:
Yes! Very good! Now for the real question.

Casey Becker:
No!

Phone Voice:
But you're doing so well. We can't stop now.

Casey Becker:
Please stop! Leave us alone!

Phone Voice:
Then answer the question. Same category.

Casey Becker:
Oh, please stop.

Phone Voice:
Name the killer in Friday the 13th.

Casey Becker:
Jason! Jason! Jason!

Phone Voice:
I'm sorry. That's the wrong answer!

Casey Becker:
No, it's not! No, it's not. It was Jason.

Phone Voice:
Afraid not. No way.

Casey Becker:
Listen, it was Jason! I saw that movie twenty Goddamn times!

Phone Voice:
Then you should know Jason's mother, Mrs. Voorhees, was the original killer! Jason didn't show up until the sequel. I'm afraid that was a wrong answer.

Casey Becker:
[sobbing] You tricked me.

Phone Voice:
Lucky for you, there's a bonus round. But poor Steve, I'm afraid, he's out!
