2nd DRAFT - REVISED
MAY 2, 1999
FADE IN:
A big dramatic crescendo as we --
OPEN ON:
EXT. HOLLYWOOD FREEWAY - SUNSET - AERIAL
Friday night traffic as usual. Things appear to be backed up all the way to
the valley. A cacophony of car horns rise up on the soundtrack as we slowly
DISSOLVE INTO:
INT. FORD EXPLORER - NIGHT
A new 99 Explorer sits in the midst of the gridlock. Behind the wheel is hot
teen heartthrob and Hollywood everybody BEN DAMON. Ben is handsome, studly, in
his early 20s. However, aside from being just another pretty face in the city
of angels hes also a cocky, arrogant prick. Bens in the middle of a heated
argument on his cell with his Agent, Cathy.
BEN
(into cell)
God dammit Cathy I have no time for this crap!
Im supposed to be at the premiere of STAB 2 right
Now, arm and arm with my girlfriend cause shes got
a bit part in that over advertised piece of shit and
Im just going to humor her. You mena to tell me that
in all your squandering the best you can do for me is
A bit role in STAB 3: RETURN TO WOODSBORO?! Come on!
Its just another cheap slasher flick! How dare you
offer me such a role! Ive done Shakespeare! Ive
worked with directors like DePalma and Scorcesse and
you offer me this crap?! Its insulting. I should
fire you and go to ICM.
CATHY(O.S.)
(off phone)
Ben, I will not sit around and listen to you bad
mouth me! Without me you wouldve never gotten as
famous as you are today. The least you can do is
show me a little god damn respect.
BEN
(into phone)
You want Respect, Cathy? Heres your respect.
FUCK YOU! Youre fired.
(Ben hangs up)
Unfucking believable.
Ben socks the steering wheel out of frustration. The horn blares
uncomfortably.
BEN
Stab 3: Return To Woodsboro.
Pah. Whats next, Friday The 13TH PART 15:
JASON DOES BROADWAY?
Bens phone rings. He answers it.
BEN
(into phone)
Whats up, B.D. with the B.D.
WOMANS VOICE
(off phone)
Hardly as large as Id like it to be.
BEN
Christine?
CHRISTINE(O.S.)
No, Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Of course its me, silly.
And I feel like an ass standing
in this theater lobby all by myself.
Where are you babe, the movie starts
in twenty minutes.
BEN
Look, Im stuck on the freeway. I think
there was some big accident. It could be
a little while so I dont want you to start
freaking if I dont get there at exactly,
(checks watch)
Eight thirty.
CHRISTINE(O.S.)
All Im saying is Im gonna be royally
p.o.d if you dont catch my acting debut.
BEN
(putting up faux-enthusiasm)
Oh I wouldnt miss it for the world.
I bet you did such a great job.
CHRISTINE(O.S.)
I did. Hon, although I got a total of
six minutes screen time, theyre the
best six minutes of the movie.
BEN
Heh heh I bet they are babe. I bet they are.
Look, my batterys dying . . .
But of course, we notice Bens battery is fine, hes just trying to cut the
conversation short.
CHRISTINE(O.S.)
Alright Hon, talk to you when the lights go down.
Ben smiles.
BEN
Sure thing.
Ben hangs up. He reclines back in his seat. Camera slowly pans out the
windshield revealing the huge traffic pile up awaiting him. Hes not going
anywhere.
CLOSE ON GLOVE COMPARTMENT.
Ben opens the glove compartment. Papers scatter out. Ben reaches for a card.
CLOSE ON CARD -
A small white business card: 1-900-WET-4-COCK
Ben smiles, begins to dial out when suddenly, RING RING! The cell comes to
life in his hand.
BEN
(startled)
Jesus.
(answers call)
Hello?
VOICE
Hello.
BEN
Who is this?
VOICE
Who is this?
At this point we know who the caller is. Its the nightmarish
deep voice weve all come to know and hate from the first two
films. Its never sounded so evil. So sexy.
BEN
Well what number are you trying to reach?
VOICE
I dont know.
BEN
I think you got the wrong number, buddy.
VOICE
Do I?
BEN
(peeved)
Uh-huh. Look bro, my battery is running out.
Really wish I could chat, but I cant so, later.
VOICE
Wait, wait. Dont hang up.
BEN
(angrily)
Asshole, Cant talk.
VOICE
But your voice sounds so familiar.
Ben smiles.
BEN
Does it now?
VOICE
You almost sound like that guy from THERES SOMETHING ABOUT CARRIE. Ben. Ben
Damon.
BEN
(smiling profusely)
Well ya got me. Thats me. Im Ben Damon.
VOICE
Really? Youre such a talented actor.
BEN
(loves the praise)
Thanks.
VOICE
Now lets see you act your way out of this one.
The voice seems to have changed tones. It now sounds a lot harsher, angrier if
you will.
BEN
What do you mean?
VOICE
I mean, Im standing right outside the LADIES
ROOM door at the PLAZA THEATER. Your girlfriend
Christine is in there. Shes all alone.
Everyones in the auditorium waiting for the film
to start.
(laughs coldly)
Ive got my knife.
*NOTE: At this point we intercut shots of the empty lobby and halls of the
PLAZA THEATER. A POV shot standing outside the LADIES ROOM door.
BEN
(turning pale)
Listen you sick fuck, is this your idea of a joke?
VOICE
More of a game really.
BEN
What kind of a game?
VOICE
You seem to be familiar with the STAB movies.
Heres how we play. I ask you a question.
You get it right, your girlfrie
