FADE IN: STACY DRIVING TO CEMETARY
DRIVE TO CEMETARY
Stacy is driving down the highway and turns right into "Haddonfield" cemetary. She drives along and pulls up in front of her sister Lynda's grave. She stops the vehicle and gets out. She walks over and kneels down in front of the grave.
STACY
Hi Lynda, its me Stacy your baby sister. Its that time of year again, Halloween day,
Insert footage of PJ Soles from Halloween 1 (Slow Motion)

I'll never forget that horrible day 25 years ago when Michael Myers came back to Haddonfield. I can only hope that someday soon we will all have our revenge.
Cut back to Stacy keeling at grave.

I miss you and will love you always.
Stacy places several roses on her sisters grave and then gets up and walks back to her car. She gets in and drives off.
FADE TO:BAR SCENE
INT. BURDICKS BAR
Stacy meets Harley in bar. Harley and Stacy begin talking and having drinks at the bar. Harley is trying to console Stacy but really just wants to party.
HARLEY

(raises beer) What's up Stacy?! (really loud)
STACY
Oh not much, I see you're starting early? (points to beer)
HARLEY
Oh hell girl, gimme a break, it's Halloween!
STACY
Yeah… it is (somber tone)
HARLEY
Oh sorry… how did everything go?
STACY
Well, I guess as good as it could…
(awkward silence for a few moments)
HARLEY
You know what you need?
STACY
(looking back at the beer) booze?

HARLEY
No… well yeah, that and a night of partying with your best-est friend (excited)
STACY
Harley, I told you, I have to hand out candy at my brother's house
HARLEY
Why's that again?
STACY
God, do you ever listen to me?
HARLEY
Damn I'm sorry
STACY
Well Lynn's having this whole party with her friends and Alan wants me to be around to supervise his "darling daughter" and all the rest of the teenage angels
HARLEY
Hmm… well that sucks
STACY
It's fine, I don't really feel like partying, I think I'll be good with just giving out candy
HARLEY
Well I'm meeting up with Joe for awhile, but I dunno what we're gonna do, did you want us to come over to Alan's house? I saw Lynn the other day waiting for the bus. How old is she now anyways?
STACY
Seventeen
HARLEY
Damn, time's flown. Maybe we will plan on stopping by then. But, for now, have a drink with me.
STACY
Come on Harley
HARLEY
Come on Stacy. Just one. Trust me, trick-or-treaters won't be out for at least another two hours.
STACY
Alright, alright, just one though
HARLEY
(to bartender) would you get my girl here a screwdriver?
STACY
Nah, make it a shot of tequila
HARLEY
atta girl
HARLEY
So are you wearing a costume or anything to Alan's?
STACY
I thought about it… for like thirty seconds, it's been awhile since I dressed up and I don't even know if Lynn and her friends are
HARLEY
If I brought you a costume would you wear it?
STACY
No!… Why?
(bartender comes back with drink)
HARLEY
Well, cause I have these matching costumes that we could wear later and really give the kids a treat (laughing)
(Stacy slams the shot of tequila)
STACY
Oh shut up, I'm not dressing up as a slut
HARLEY
They're not slut costumes, more like hookers
STACY
Harley!
HARLEY
(laughing hysterically) calm down Stace, I'm just kidding around
STACY
Sorry sorry I know, it's just, I don't know… not my favorite time of year I guess
HARLEY
hugs her) I know, it's okay. One more drink girl?
STACY
I'll pass
HARLEY
Oh come on Stace, you know you want to
STACY
Maybe later… So are you planning on stopping by?
HARLEY
Most definitely
STACY
What time you think you and Joe will be done doing whatever?
HARLEY
Well… we were kind of in a fight last we talked so if that boy wants any from me he better have a long ass apology planned out
STACY
(giggles) well then I should or shouldn't be expecting you?
HARLEY
Plan on us coming, I'll call if something changes… can we scare the little kids when we get there? (excited)
STACY
Harrrr…
HARLEY
(interrupts) it'll be fun!
STACY
(laughs) we'll see we'll see
HARLEY
So probably plan on us being there around like 10?
STACY
Most of the trick or treaters will be gone by then!
HARLEY
Well then we'll just let those last few stragglers know that it's bed time (evil laugh)
STACY
you are evil
HARLEY
Yessss my lifelong dream has been accomplished- I represent all evil
STACY
you keep telling yourself that (checks watch)
(Stacy begins to get up and ready to leave the bar)
STACY
I think I'm gonna get going, I'll help Lynn set everything up and keep Alan from having a heart attack
HARLEY
tell your brother to chill, it's just teenagers… (laughs) remember when were teenagers?
STACY
(laughs) the good old days…(dazes) Thanks for the drink, I'll see you around ten?
HARLEY
Wouldn't miss it for the world (waves bye)
Stacy gets up and walks out of the bar.
EXTERIOR OF BAR
Stacy walks out to her car, scary music, she gets in her car, and drives off as the "Shape" watchs.
FAMILY ROOM AT ADAM'S HOUSE STACY'S BROTHER.
Lynn is putting up Halloween decorations. Alan is putting out bowls of chips and candy. Lynn steals chips from a bowl and then steals the whole bowl. Nonverbal argument between father and daughter in which Alan rips bowl of chips out of Lynn's hand and knocks some on the floor. Stacy knocks on door but walks in without it being answered. Her head hangs low and Alan embraces her.
ALAN
So, you stopped by to see Lynda earlier?
STACY
Yeah… did you?
ALAN
Briefly, it's been so long, but it seems like just yesterday
STACY
I just want her back (starts sobbing)
ALAN
We all do (starts rubbing her back)
(Lynn interrupts the scene)
LYNN
Dad, where should I put the... (holds up streamers as she looks up at Stacey) oh… sorry
STACY
No, that's okay, come here (Stacy releases Adam and hugs Lynn)
(the two let go of each other all 3 gaze around the room))
LYNN
So how'd you think it looks?
ALAN
It's missing something…
(Lynn and Stacey both look skeptically at him as he goes out of camera view. He comes back with two cans of silly string behind his back; he pulls them out and starts spraying them.)
(The girls exchange a glance and go at him, eventually stealing the two cans and spraying him until he's on the ground laughing)
ALAN
Okay, okay, I surrender!
(Continue to hear laughing, go from a camera angle through a window, zoom out as if from a perspective in the yard, show view from over the "Shape"'s shoulder and quickly zoom back in and "reenter" the room)
LYNN
So, thanks Dad, now you can clean up your mess, run along now
ALAN
Don't push your luck sweetheart (sarcasm)
(all three bend down and start picking up the silly string)
STACY
So when are your friends coming?
LYNN
My friends are late to everything… I was thinking eight, so I told everyone seven, but it's seven fifteen now, so there ya go
STACY
(Laughs) That's okay, until then you've got me and your dad!
LYNN
(Looks around with sarcastic look) Oh great (intense sarcasm)
(doorbell rings)
STACY
I got it
(Stacey grabs bowl of candy and walks out of scene. Hear kids saying trick or treat vaguely in background)
ALAN
You remember what I said about being extra nice to aunt Stacy, right?
LYNN
Yes dad, I remember
Stacey reenters in the midst of their conversation)
STACY
Remember what?
LYNN
Uh… to be a good hostess to everyone
STACY
Oh come on Alan, she's seventeen, she should know by now
ALAN
(shoulder shrug) Yea, I know… but ya know, kids these days
LYNN
Don't give me that "kids these days" bull-shit
ALAN
Lynn! What have I told you about that
LYNN
(insincere) sorry
(Stacey laughs)
ALAN
(to Stacey) What? (somewhat angry)
STACY
(continues laughing) you were swearing at mom and dad by the time you were 14
(Alan tries to cut in)
LYNN
Ha! I knew it!
(doorbell rings again)
(this time, the camera follows Stacy to the door, leaving Alan and Lynn in confrontation. Stacy has a smile on her face as she opens the door, but no kids are on the door-step. The "Shape" can be seen in the distance in the mix of the kids trick-or-treating on the street.)

HARLEY'S HOUSE.
(Enter Harley's house. Hear sexual noises in the distance. Show title screen of Psycho on big screen TV. Travel up the stairs, continue to hear noises made by Harley and Joe, getting louder. Enter bedroom and two bodies are completely immersed under covers.)
(Harley comes up, shoulders above covers)
HARLEY
Wow!
(Joe follows out of covers)
JOE
I'll say
HARLEY
That was uhh quite the apology!
JOE
Only the best for my girl
(They kiss. Harley turns on TV and Psycho is playing. Quickly turns it off)
HARLEY
Ugh, I hate scary movies
JOE
Calm down baby, it's just a movie
HARLEY
It still gives me the creeps
JOE
Oh come on, it's not like things really happen like that (pauses) but maybe… (cuts himself short with intention to scare Harley)
HARLEY
I hate you!
JOE
(Laughs) Oh no you don't
HARLEY
Oh yes I do
(Joe brings Harley closer)
JOE
Oh no you don't
HARLEY
Oh yes I do (giddy)
(They kiss and separate after a few moments)
HARLEY
Oh! Did I tell you about Stacy?
JOE
Oh God, what now
HARLEY
Shut up, be nice, I told her we'd stop by her brother's house tonight, she's helping him supervise her niece's party
JOE
Oh come on Harley, don't you want tonight to be for just you and me
HARLEY
Joe, you weren't with Stacy the day after her baby sister was murdered by some… psycho… okay? You don't understand. I told Stacy we'd be there and I don't know about you but dammit I will be there, she hates Halloween, I'm her best friend and gonna do whatever I can to make it suck just a little less, alright? (fuming)
JOE
I'm sorry (skeptical look from Harley) (more sincere-) I'm sorry. I know this means a lot to you, I'll be with you no matter where you want to be or end up
HARLEY
(huffs at him) okay
JOE
Baby I'm serious
HARLEY
Okaaay
JOE
So what time do we have to be there?
HARLEY
I told her around 10, oh shit, it's already 10 after 9, I gotta get ready
JOE
Get ready?
HARLEY
Uh, yeah, take a shower
JOE
Should I take one?
HARLEY
What do I look like, your mother?
JOE
Okay, okay, I'll take one after you get out, if you get out
HARLEY
If?
JOE
You girls take forever
HARLEY
Funny man you are?
JOE
Oh, I try
HARLEY
(giggles) alright well I'll be in there for a while, but I'll make it out before eternity
JOE
That's what you think
HARLEY
And there we go again
(She gives him one last kiss and throws on the robe that was sitting next to the bed and exits the room. He lays there for a moment and then gets up, talking to himself.)
JOE
I need a beer
(He heads down the stairs. He stops to glance at Psycho which is still playing on the TV)
JOE
Stupid horror movies, Harley's such a female
(A door slams)
JOE
Hello? (A bit more timid)
(No response)
JOE
(Small laugh) (Looks at the screen again) This shit is so fake
(Hears kitchen drawer close faintly in the background)
JOE
Whatever
(Heads toward kitchen. Opens refrigerator door and searches around for a beer, finally finding one. He closes the door and steps to head away from the kitchen. The "Shape" had appeared behind the door and remained in his place after it closed. The "Shape" takes a step forward and the subtle noise causes Joe to turn around. The "Shape" is shown with a knife held in the air, Joe struggles to scream Harley's name as he attempts walking backwards and trips over his own feet. The "Shape" bends over and stabs him one time full force, straightens his back, and proceeds to head toward the living room. Joe is shown lying dead on the kitchen floor)
(The beginning of the shower scene from Psycho is shown from an awkward angle over the "Shape"'s shoulder. The "Shape" is then shown looking at the movie. Play out the whole shower scene. The shower turns on and is a prominent sound in the background. The "Shape" tilts his head and slowly proceeds toward the stairs. Harley is shown testing the temperature of the shower water, dissatisfied, she steps away. She steps in front of the mirror and runs a brush there her hair, takes off her robe, tests the water again, and hops in the shower. She bathes regularly- washing hair, etc. for a few moments.

(Harley is shown testing the temperature of the shower water, dissatisfied, she steps away. She steps in front of the mirror and runs a brush there her hair, takes off her robe, tests the water again, and hops in the shower. She bathes regularly- washing hair, etc. for a few moments. She hears the door knob turning.)

HARLEY
Baby, is that you?
(no response, the door closes)
HARLEY
Joe, I told you, it's clean time now, we've got the rest of our lives to play dirty
(no response)
HARLEY
(turns to curtain) Alright baby, you win, we'll do whatever you'd like
(the shape opens the curtain)
(the initial look on Harley's face is that of anticipation for Joe, but it quickly turns to fright, she attempts at screaming but nothing comes out)
(she is stabbed to death, and ends up laying on the floor of the shower, tub with a glazed look on her face and blood flowing down the drain.)
ALANS HOUSE WITH LYNN'S PARTY IN PROGRESS.
(Stacy and Alan stand separate from kids. Lynn and friends bob for apples)
STACY
These kids still bob for apples?
ALAN
Lynn and her friends aren't your average teenagers
(they turn to look. All the kids start cheering as Lynn lifts her head out of the water with an apple in her mouth. Lynn takes the apple out of her mouth and starts bowing.)
LYNN
Thank you, thank you. Hey aunt Stacy, you wanna come give this a try?
STACY
Lynn I haven't bobbed for apples since I was a little girl
LYNN
Oh come on, the 1920s weren't all that long ago (smirks)
STACY
Ya know what missy? Step aside
(Stacy makes her way to the bucket. The kids gather round Stacy as she unsuccessful tries to bob for apples.)
STACY
(she lifts up her head) I give up
BOB
Geez Lynn, what's next? Pin the tail on the donkey?
LYNN
Bite me, go find something else to do if you're not having fun
BOB
Well fine. Quincy, OWEN, come here
(he whispers to them)
BOB
We'll be right back…(under his breath) maybe (he laughs)
ROXANNE
Anyone up for foosball?
SAM
Bring it on
ROXANNE
You're going down sucker
SAM
Oh I wouldn't be so sure about that
(they proceed to play)
LYNN
Where's my camera?
MADISON
God, here she goes again (to JAMIE)
JAMIE
She's just like my grandma
LYNN
I heard that
(they laugh)
LYNN
But seriously has anyone seen it?
MADISON
Maybe the evil Halloween spirit stole it so that we could live tonight without you shoving it in our faces
LYNN
Now tell me how you really feel
(trying to get in her face)
MADISON
You wanna go?
LYNN
Let's go
JAMIE
Lynn, I got it
MADISON
Jessssie! What were you thinking??
JAMIE
(hands it to Lynn) It was behind the door
MADISON
Yeah, that's cause I put it there!
LYNN
MADISON!
MADISON
(laughing) Sorry, I thought I'd keep the picture happy freak away for a while
LYNN
Well I've got my camera now, no thanks to you
(the 3 girls walk over to the ping pong table. Lynn talks to JAMIE)

JAMIE
Are you guys almost done?
SAM
I'm kicking her ass! (excited)
LYNN
Well kick it faster
ROXANNE
What's the rush?
JAMIE
You'll never believe this... Lynn wants to take a group picture of us
SAM
Ha! Imagine that
LYNN
Oh shut up
(SAM scores a point on ROXANNE)
SAM
I am victorious
OUTSIDE ALANS HOUSE. THE BOYS ARE GETTING READY TO PLAY SOME PRANKS.
(show guys walking outside toward the basement windows)
QUINCY
I can't wait to see the look on their faces
BOB
Girls freak out over everything
OWEN
So what are we doing?
BOB
We're just gonna knock on the window
OWEN
Are we running away after?
QUINCY
Yeah right, then we wouldn't get to see them crying over nothing
BOB
OWEN, you just sit and watch how it's done
(BOB leans to knock. He stops as the guys hear a noise of some sort in the background)
OWEN
What the hell was that?
QUINCY
Dude, we're supposed to be the ones scaring them, stop shitting your pants
(OWEN shoves Quincy)
BOB
This is perfect (as he looks in)
QUINCY & BOB
What?
BOB
Lynn's posing the girls for a picture right in front of the window
BACK INSIDE LYNN'S PARTY
(Lynn's setting up the girls to take a picture. We vaguely see the guys in the window)
LYNN
SAM, move on the other side, switch with JAMIE, there's way too much redhead on the left side of my camera
SAM
Whatever you say your majesty
(she moves)
LYNN
Oh why thank you.
Everyone smile
(JAMIE makes a face)
LYNN
Come on Jess, you can do it
(she smiles. At the moment the flash goes off, there is a knock on the window.)
(back outside)
(the guys roll out of the view of the window dying of laughter)
(the girls scream in the background)
QUINCY
that was awesome! (high fives BOB)
OWEN
I wanna get in on this
BOB
Alright, alright- three windows, three of us
(creepy music starts softly. BOB is on the left, Quincy in the middle, OWEN on the right)
QUINCY
On the count of three…1,2, 3
(they knock again and start laughing hysterically as we hear more shrieks from the girls (and from OWEN, but the guys don't seem to notice that as much) BOB high fives Quincy. Both look toward OWEN who appears to be just laying there, but he is dead. They stand up and walk over toward him)
BOB
We scared those girls to death
QUINCY
They didn't even see it coming
(the shape approaches the guys from behind the moment they see OWEN. The shape pulls out two knives and places one in the back of each of them)
(return to the basement. The girls are beginning to calm down. Lynn climbs on ROXANNE's shoulders to look out the window but sees nothing)
LYNN
I'm sure the guys will come back any second laughing their asses off
ROXANNE
They think they're so smooth
(Girls continue talking in background. Stacey and Alan stand separate)
STACY
Would you mind if I ran across the street to Harley's?
ALAN
Yeah, sure, wait, wasn't she supposed to come over?
STACY
Yeah, at ten, that's why I'm going, making sure everything's okay
ALAN
What do you mean?
STACY
Well Joe was headed over there and I guess they were kind of in a fight, I'm just gonna make sure they haven't killed each other yet
ALAN
(laughs) Alright, but don't be too long
STACY
Okay mom! (giggles and then leaves)
ALAN
actually, I think I'll go out with you
(the two continue conversing as they walk up the stairs)
STACY
You told me you were going to quit
ALAN
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that'll be my New Year's Resolution this year
STACY
Yeah, sure it will, just like last year
ALAN
Give me some credit, I'm trying
STACY
Oh, okay, sure you are
ALAN
(friendly shove) well thanks for looking out for me, sis
(Stacy continues across the street and Alan steps to the left, out of the light and lights a cigarette)
ALAN
hmm…what's that? (Sees the bodies of the guys)
ALAN
Holy shit, holy shit (looks very flustered and turns to run)
The shape has approached him from behind and stabs him- the audience does not see where he has been stabbed, all that we know is that he goes down and is not quick enough to get back up for the camera to see)
OUTSIDE STACY IS APPROACHING HARLEYS HOUSE
Stacy approaches Harley's house. The door is slightly ajar)
STACY
Well that's odd
(she walks in)
STACY
Harley?
(no response)
STACY
Harley? Joe? Where are you guys?
(heads toward kitchen and enters. The kitchen is dark. Stacy puts her hand on the counter to brace herself and then picks it up and notices its slightly wet with a small drop of red material. She shrugs it off and continues searching for Harley and Joe)
STACY
Harley?
(Stacy starts heading up the stairs to Harleys bedroom slowly and continues to call for Harley & Joe.)
STACY
Harley?.....Joe?.....
(She turns into the bedroom and sees Joe and Harley propped against each other sitting in the bed. There faces are bluish green and they are bloody. Both have a glazed over look on there faces. Joe has a beer in one hand.)
BACK IN THE BASEMENT
(Lynn turns on the radio)
MADISON
(starts dancing) turn it up!
(the radio plays very loudly. The lights go out and the radio continues to play. The girls shriek somewhat, but almost as if they were expecting it)
SAM
Man, those guys are really asking for it
MADISON
They've definitely got it coming to them
JAMIE
(screams) You guys are hilarious (sarcasm) I got the lights
(JAMIE heads to the switch outside the party room)
JAMIE
Lynn, it's not working
LYNN
Oh yeah, to turn on the lights in the whole basement you need to hit the switch at the top of the stairs
JAMIE
Ugh!
LYNN
Hope you make it!
(JAMIE proceeds up the stairs, when she reaches the top the door opens slightly. JAMIE shakes her head and doesn't look up)
JAMIE
Hilarious, simply hilarious guys
(she looks up and the shape is silhouetted in the doorway. She tries screaming but can't. She tries running down the stairs but she trips and falls.)
(she fails to get up and the shape slowly descends and proceeds to stab her to death when he reaches the bottom)

(back to basement, the lights remain off)
LYNN
JAMIE, what are you doing?
(Stacy enters the house running and screaming. She turns on the basement lights and ?sees JAMIE dead? Continues to scream and everyone runs in to see what is going on, no one sees JAMIE)
STACY
S,s,sssomeone call 911
MADISON
Stacy what's wrong
STACY
(screams) Just do it!
(ROXANNE runs into the backroom of the basement and comes out with the cordless in her hand)
ROXANNE
It's dead…
MADISON
Maybe the batteries just died, go try the one upstairs
(ROXANNE runs up the stairs. She picks up the phone, has a puzzled look on her face and mumbles to herself as she realizes the phone is dead. She sits in a spinny chair and twirls in circles continuing to press the buttons on the phone. Meanwhile, the shape has taken the phone cord and wrapped it around her neck as she has spun and proceeds to strangle her)
STACY
two of you drive to the police station and tell them to get here (hysterically)
SAM
I'll drive
MADISON
I'll go with her
(the two run outside to the car. As they begin to put their seatbelts on)
SAM
Oh shit, I don't have my keys
MADISON
I'll get 'em, where are they?
SAM
In my purse, right inside the front door
MADISON
Be right back
(MADISON heads in the direction of the front door. MADISON climbs up the front porch steps and goes to open the door and it's locked. She turns around and is face to face with the shape. She smashes a pumpkin on her head and stabs her in the back and she falls back into the rocking chair. Meanwhile in the car-)
(SAM pulls out keys from her pocket)
(She opens the door, still sitting in her seat and holds onto the keys while a lanyard hangs from them)
MADISON
MADISON, come back- I found 'em
(after she receives no response she steps out of the door. The Shape rips the keys out of her hand and strangles her with the lanyard)
(back to the basement where only Lynn and Stacy remain)
(the lights have mysteriously gone off again, and everything is dark- clearly the power is out this time.)
(both flustered)
LYNN
(stuttering) what should we do?
STACY
well, we have to stay as calm as we can…
LYNN
how about I get a flashlight? So we can at least see
STACY
yes, good idea
(Stacy stands where she is, in view of the closet, but not the person in focus)
(Lynn walks over to the closet and tries opening the door)
LYNN
The door's stuck
(the door starts moving)
LYNN
oh never mind, I got it
(as the door slides all the way open, Jamie's body falls out on top of her. Lynn screams and Stacy rushes to her side. Lynn begins to cry and Stacy attempts to console her while searching through the closet for a flashlight)
STACY
Lynn, Lynn
(Lynn lifts her head up with a tears-streaked face)
STACY
We have got to get out of here
LYNN
(quiet and somber) okay
STACY
Welll, let's go!
(camera follows Lynn and Stacy upstairs. Lynn stops in the room as she spots Roxanne while Stacy continues out the door the swivel chair has its back to the camera, we can see Roxanne's head with the phone headset on over the top)
LYNN
Roxanne, why didn't you come back downstairs? Come on let's go
(Lynn turns the chair around and sees Roxanne, strangled by the phone cord. Lynn screams)

(Stacy walks outside- not seeing any of the bodies)
STACY
(muttering to herself) cell phone…cell phone… in my car!
(Stacy runs to her car and we see the shape come up behind her. She turns around and he still has some ground to cover before he reaches her. She starts walking backwards, hesitantly at first, as he approaches her. She turns and runs. She trips over a tree root or something of the sort, but instead of standing up and running, she starts crawling away, eventually she stands up and tries to look him in the face)
STACY
Why should I be scared of you? Come on tell me. (starts sobbing) You took the lives of my sister and best friend, and you didn't even stop there. Now tell me, why the fuck should I be scared of you?
(the shape contemplates what she is saying, meanwhile taking a knife from in back of him)
STACY
What are you gonna do? Kill me? I bet you'd like that wouldn't you?
(he takes the knife and raises it over his head. The knife begins to come down on Stacy, but he is mysteriously thrown off balance, and he cuts her shoulder. Stacy has had her eyes closed for a few moments, but she opens them and looks at her shoulder. She then looks up in time to see the shape approaching her yet again, but this time Alan is behind him. As the shape attempts to strike a second time, Alan lifts an axe over his head and strikes him, the shape is most definitely dead)
(the two of them embrace, and no words are exchanged)
STACY
Oh no, Lynn!
ALAN
Where is she? Is she okay?
STACY
She, she's still inside
(Alan runs up onto the front porch where Kate has been placed on Amanda's lap, both dead, Amanda still with the pumpkin on her head. He opens the door and enters the office where Lynn is trying to hold tight to Roxanne)
ALAN
Lynn…
LYNN
(screaming/sobbing) whattttttt?
ALAN
come here… come here
(Lynn stands up and walks over to her father)
ALAN
He's gone sweetie, we killed him, he's dead
LYNN
Sure he's dead, and so's Jamie and Roxanne, and God knows who else
ALAN
Shhh… we're still here
LYNN
Like it matters
(Stacy enters the room and embraces Lynn)
STACY
come see… we'll never have to worry about this ever again, I promise
(Alan and Stacy are on either side of Lynn- they walk her out the front door and down the steps. Lynn's head hangs down the whole time. Stacy and Alan exchange a glance over her head)
ALAN
I don't understand…
LYNN
What? Where is he?
STACY
Gone….
