Scream Edit

A great deal, yeah.

A guy named Billy Loomis and his friend

A hunch. [chuckles]

A little bit now... yeah.

A real loony tune.

A reminder that all classes and school activities

A second victim, as yet unnamed,

A tragic story ended.

A what?

About not running.

Actually, your mother just interrogated me about Tara's attempted murder,

After tonight, no more books,

All due respect, that's your life, not mine.

All right, everyone!

All right, kids, have fun.

All right, listen. Let's not pretend I'm the one who ended things.

All right.

All right. Okay, yeah, no.

All systems disarmed.

All systems disarmed. All systems armed.

All they're talking about is how Stab 8

All you have to do is say, "Kill Richie."

Am I gonna be okay?

Amber might live to see the sunrise.

Amber! Fan out. She couldn't have gotten far.

An unknown number of fatalities, several injuries,

And all the trouble you used to cause your family.

And Amber. Hey.

And can we talk about the title? Stab?

And cut some fucking throats!

And distract myself from the looming specter of Death.

And drop all this shit on me?

And every decade or so, some idiot gets the bright idea

And get the fuck out?

And God help anyone who slightly fucks with that special memory.

And he got her pregnant.

And I can move you to a private floor.

And I can't get a ride home.

And I didn't even realize...

And I found these old diaries that she kept from high school.

And I got distant and weird with you.

And I got to make sure we don't get sliced up by some lunatic

And I have kids, which means I won't sleep until he's in the ground.

And I just found out my dad isn't my dad.

And I knew it was wrong, but I read some anyway

And I need to keep all the blood inside my body. So do you.

And I think that's why you got hurt.

And I thought it could be cool to find out how she and Dad got together.

And I went out and I started doing

And I will do exactly that, Charlie,

And I'll make sure to hit all the organs I missed last time.

And I'll tell you about the two people I've killed.

And I'm 13...

And I'm sitting there, in this attic,

And I'm so fucking sorry that I never told you and that I ran away.

And I'm what in this scenario?

And I'm...

And leave it to people who actually care about this community.

And let me guess, you were just in the other room,

And now her family's off limits too?

And now they're here, which makes this place a huge murder target, so...

And now you get attacked here.

And possibly hook up with Frances.

And rule number three, and this is the most important rule:

And shoving this diary in her face,

And somebody knows,

And that you guys have that in common.

And that's why he proposed senior year.

And that's why I changed

And the doctor said it went well.

And the villain dies at the end.

And then finally we'll see those mid 60s returning next week.

And then I get stabbed and you want to come back

And then, on Sam's 18th birthday, she leaves.

And this whole elaborate monologue is just to cover your tracks.

And we came here voluntarily?

And what would that be? Huh?

And where were you when all this happened?

And you can stalk me like a jealous boyfriend.

And you should have asked me to come with you.

And you two have been estranged for years.

And you weren't?

And, what, that one of us is the killer?

Anyone hiding, killer or not,

Are canceled tomorrow due to public safety concerns.

Are you afraid of me, Mindy?

Are you being safe out there, honey?

Are you fucking stupid?

Are you gonna be all right?

Are you gonna run away from who you are like you always do,

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you okay? You seem like you're having a bit of a moment.

Are you telling me that I'm caught in the middle of fan fucking fiction?

As the franchise's main character?

As they are still collecting evidence.

As you can see, this is a very active crime scene here.

Ask me about It Follows. Ask me about Hereditary.

Ask me about something I do know.

Ask me about The Witch.

Ask me in a few days.

At a sleepover when I was, like, 12.

Aw, you can stalk me like a jealous boyfriend.

Beautiful son of a bitch.

Because I am.

Because Mom got pregnant with me in high school,

Because nobody takes the true fans seriously.

Because our movie has fucking stakes!

Because she's probably dead.

Because that cut deep.

Because that's how you make a great Stab movie, Sam.

Because we love something?

Because you're the villain!

Because you're wrong, this is your life now.

Because...

Before we dive in, I want to tell you a little story

Before you could rearm?

Believe me, I know.

Better than I know you.

Billy Loomis started this, and we're gonna end it.

Black Christmas, Child's Play, Flatliners...

Both of you, stop it.

Both Sam and Tara here have been attacked by the killer twice.

But 90% is because of you.

But at least I know what I'm gonna write about.

But because...

But doing it as a requel.

But I don't consider it, like, a huge hole in my cinematic education.

But I guess being a sexually available woman

But I left an extra one at Amber's.

But I'll meet you guys there.

But I'm staying.

But I'm taking my sister away from all this.

But it wouldn't work with just you, Sam.

But let that be a lesson. Don't trust anyone.

But maybe something about a good man

But no matter what you or the killer or anyone says,

But not too new, or the Internet goes bug fucking nuts.

But she'll make a great chapter in your next book.

But supported by and related to legacy characters.

But the illegitimate daughter of the original mastermind?

But the rest of you were wandering around.

But the safest option is to be down here

But then I remember...

But then why kill that random Vince guy?

But we're all suspects.

But why didn't you come to me back then?

But you are not a coward.

But you can't just do a straight sequel, either.

But, according to requel rules...

But, Sid, promise me:

But, you know, the Netflix alibi is good, too.

But...

By an assailant wearing a Ghostface costume,

Bye.

Bye.

Can I ask you a weird question?

Can I ask you one question though?

Can you take us to a different hospital this time?

Can't have a bona fide Halloween without Jamie Lee!

Careful, they always come back.

Carved up a bunch of high school kids

Cash in, run of the mill sequel.

Come here.

Come on, man, turn around!

Come on, man, turn around! Turn around! Dude!

Come on, Netflix. Let's go.

Come on.

Come on. Get it together, Dewey.

Come on. Let's go!

Coming up after our local weather,

Conveniently unaccounted for when she was attacked at the hospital.

Could this night get any shittier?

Could you hold out till Modesto?

Couldn't resist a good story, could you?

Damn it.

Define "things."

Delete social media, tape over your phone camera,

Deputy Vinson knows what he's doing. You'll be safe.

Dewey had to die to make it real.

Dewey! Hi!

Dewey! Who gives a fuck?

Dewey? [chuckles]

Dewey...

Did all this just to get her back to Woodsboro.

Did he know who your dad was when you met?

Did you know the sheriff?

Disable GPS.

Do they know who did this?

Do you have any idea why

Do you remember how...

Do you remember when Dad left?

Do you see this shit?

Do you want to, uh, come with me?

Does your sister have a close knit group of friends?

Doesn't mean he should have a gun.

Don't be an idiot, Dewey.

Don't be so sensitive.

Don't come here.

Don't do it, Liv. There's a psycho out there.

Don't hurt my boy.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I have to pass on that.

Don't worry, I have a plan. She seems really tough.

Don't worry.

Dude, what are you doing? You can do it!

Enjoy that torch.

Enjoy your stupid movie.

Especially not in the last couple years.

Even if the story shouldn't have been ongoing in the first place.

Eventually.

Every drug that I could get my hands on

Every time I get attacked,

Exactly.

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me.

Express any interest in Woodsboro

Fans are torn on the terminology.

Five minutes. That's all I'm asking.

Five whole years.

Follow someone into a dark, creepy basement alone.

For being the reason Dad left.

For Dewey.

For everything.

For instance,

For not telling you sooner.

For this? Never.

For two whole months!

For what? You saved my life.

From her shit?

From me.

Fuck it!

Fuck it.

Fuck this bar, man.

Fuck this!

Fuck this.

Fuck you, Amber. Fuck you!

Fuck you, Amber. I'm not the fucking killer!

Fuck you, Mindy.

Fuck you!

Fuck you!

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck, even Star Wars!

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Fuck, where is it?

Fuck!

Fuck! Mindy, come on.

Fuck. Fuck. [panting]

Fuck... you!

Fucking kill you!

Fucking psycho.

Fucking up...

Gale Weathers would do.

Gale Weathers!

Gale! Gale!

Gale?

Gale.

Get out of here or I'm calling the cops.

Get out of my fucking car!

Get Tara out of the closet.

Get the fuck out!

Ghosts them all.

Girlfriend repellent, check.

Give me one good reason why I should talk to you.

Go away!

Go fuck yourself.

Go!

Goddamn it!

Goddamn it.

Going by the pattern,

Good boy.

Good job.

Good luck getting it up now.

Good morning. I'm Gale Weathers.

Good.

Good. That's good.

Got dumped by your famous wife and crawled into a bottle.

Guess you're not as persuasive as you thought.

Have fun.

Have you ever seen Stab?

He actually went looking for you.

He attacked Tara to lure me back here.

He didn't know.

He found out right then from me.

He helped me.

He helped people.

He killed your friend, he killed ours.

He left that night.

He must be busy.

He nailed it in one! Dude, look at the love interest!

He never hurt anyone.

He wants me to accept his Find My Fam request.

He was played by Luke Wilson, and I got you, asshole!

He's been stalking my Instagram the last couple weeks,

He's Billy Loomis's accomplice.

He's finding out what happens to people

He's threatening you. He's threatening your sister.

Heather Graham!

Hello there. Where'd you go?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

Hello.

Help me, help me! He stabbed me!

Help us figure out who is behind this.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

Her parents aren't home.

Here it comes.

Here we go.

Here you go.

Here's the original.

Hey, baby, you want to go get

Hey, hey, hey! Hello! Can we cut the music, please?

Hey, hey!

Hey, Martha.

Hey, we're low on beer.

Hey, when are you gonna tell her why all this is happening?

Hey! Watch your tone, new girl.

Hey.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. I'm Richie.

Hi. Nice to see you.

Hmm. Tara says she fought back hard.

Hollywood's totally fucking out of ideas,

Holy shit, it's Ghostface!

Holy shit. He came.

Holy shit. Is that... Vince?

Honestly, Sid, who gives a shit?

How are things in the sheriff's business?

How are you doing?

How are you feeling?

How are you?

How are you? How's Mark?

How can fandom be toxic?

How do I know you're anywhere near him?

How do you know where I am?

How long have you known him?

How romantic it must have been.

How the main character's a Mary Sue.

How they crammed in social commentary just to elevate it.

How well do you really know her?

How well do you remember the original?

How you doing, Sam?

How you feeling?

How's the wife?

I actually really liked that one.

I appreciate it.

I asked her to come with me! She said no!

I asked Mindy to call everybody here, because...

I blame you for leaving me too.

I came as soon as I heard.

I can be in that room in 15 seconds.

I can take care of her and her sister.

I can't believe I get to do you both.

I can't believe this worked.

I can't find her! [grunts]

I could've helped.

I didn't know him well, but...

I didn't see him. Okay?

I do. That's why I'm asking.

I don't blame you for that.

I don't care who you're talking to.

I don't know.

I don't need your pity, Gale.

I don't want to hear your voice.

I even had you convinced it could be your sister.

I found Chad.

I googled him. His mom is Leslie Macher.

I got to go find something to eat.

I gotta go.

I had to get you to come back here somehow, didn't I?

I hate you.

I hope you're okay.

I just couldn't be around you anymore, Tara.

I just don't want to see Tara hurt again.

I just got to stay and figure it out.

I just heard about the sheriff.

I just...

I just... I have to do this.

I know things didn't end well with you guys, but...

I know you guys aren't on the best terms, but...

I know you know what that's like.

I know.

I know.

I know. It's a bummer it's me.

I left a message for Mom. I told her where we're going.

I left in the middle of the night...

I love you too.

I love you.

I love you.

I made my choices. So did you.

I mean,

I mean, are you okay? Where are you?

I mean, Christ, the same house?

I mean, I think we should.

I mean, it was super '90s.

I mean, Jordan Peele fucking rules.

I mean, no connection to the other movies.

I mean, surviving this many times...

I mean...

I mean...

I met Richie on the Stab subreddit.

I need to talk to Tara.

I need units to converge on my house ASAP.

I prefer animated films and musicals.

I put a tracker on her car.

I remember you too...

I retired.

I say accept who you are, let's get out there, find out who's doing this,

I should've stopped him.

I still prefer The Babadook. [inhales]

I think I'll keep him.

I think it's in my room.

I think it's safe to say you're on the suspect list.

I think it's time we take our relationship to the next, most intimate level.

I think that's a great idea.

I think... Think I'm ready.

I thought you said I was too boring to be the killer.

I told you I don't know these movies!

I told you, he's around the corner. Jamie.

I tried running too.

I untied her.

I used to babysit them all.

I vote for not going back to the murder hospital.

I want you to stay.

I want your help.

I wanted to be a part of something.

I was attacked last night at the hospital.

I was eight. I don't know what that has to do with anything.

I was scared that I would turn out just like him.

I was scared.

I was the last thing Dewey saw before he died too.

I was with Sam in Modesto when Tara was attacked.

I was with Tara,

I was... watching Netflix.

I went into the basement to get beer.

I'd be in and out.

I'd like to read that story.

I'd really like that.

I'll be right back, yeah?

I'll get Richie.

I'll give you two minutes.

I'll go in quickly and get it. I'll be back in five.

I'll have gutted your baby boy.

I'll only kill one.

I'll survive. I always do.

I'll tell you all about it. I'm calling to turn myself in.

I'm a fan of scary movies. And knives.

I'm a really big fan.

I'm afraid someone's got to die now.

I'm Billy Loomis's daughter.

I'm Charlie. She's got my number.

I'm coming too.

I'm coming!

I'm fine.

I'm Gale...

I'm going to the hospital. You guys coming?

I'm gonna hold your hand all the way there.

I'm good, really good.

I'm here because I was worried about you.

I'm here to make sure of that.

I'm introducing a new rule.

I'm just telling you, arm up, okay?

I'm just trying to get a run in before I take the girls to school.

I'm just trying to help.

I'm just trying to protect my family.

I'm missing a show I like.

I'm not gonna come out! You're shooting everything!

I'm not leaving you here, Sam.

I'm not like you.

I'm not, actually.

I'm on my way.

I'm really sorry about Dewey.

I'm right here. Come and get me.

I'm saving your life.

I'm saving your life. I promise.

I'm Sidney fucking Prescott. Of course I have a gun.

I'm so sorry, Sid.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. Excuse me.

I'm sorry about Judy.

I'm sorry if that's weird for you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm starting to regret coming here.

I'm sure she's asking everybody. I mean, Ghostface is back.

I'm the reason he left.

I've been obsessed ever since my parents bought this house.

I've been through this. A lot.

I've decided to temporarily assist you in your investigation.

I've got permanent nerve damage and a fun little limp.

I've never seen Gone with the Wind either,

I've seen this movie before.

If I hadn't have written that book about your mother,

If I were you, I would probably leave.

If it's okay with you, I could sleep here tonight.

If you ask me, this franchise goes off the rails with number five.

If you can find out why they're doing this,

If you had, my sister would be dead.

If you think I'm waiting out here

In a fucking Ghostface mask.

Is Cristina there?

Is supposed to be empowering these days.

Is that you, pretty boy? Huh?

Is there any beer left? There's none in the kitchen.

Is this because you two aren't having sex yet?

Isn't that a little fancy pants?

It always, always goes back to the original!

It calms me down, okay? I'm also gonna smoke some weed

It doesn't freak you out...

It doesn't work, it always follows.

It got to be part of an ongoing story line,

It has to do with it.

It is Gale Weathers, you motherfucker!

It makes perfect requel sense.

It sounds like our killer is writing his own version of Stab 8,

It started with a kill scene, right?

It was Billy Loomis.

It was my turn. It was a great opportunity.

It was really over lit and everyone had weird hair.

It wasn't that hard for me to fuck you, either.

It would have mattered.

It'll get out by the second or third killing.

It's a girl at home, alone.

It's a small town, and your mom's a drunk!

It's about love!

It's all yours, bitch!

It's an amazing meditation on motherhood and grief.

It's Billy Loomis, and he was Sidney's boyfriend,

It's Billy Loomis!

It's fine. Don't tell me. I get it. Just be safe, okay?

It's from football practice.

It's gonna be all right.

It's happening again.

It's not just some schlocky, cheeseball nonsense with wall to wall jump scares.

It's okay.

It's okay. I got you.

It's Sam.

It's Sidney Prescott and she lived on Elm.

It's Sidney Prescott!

It's so nice to meet you. I'm so sorry if I'm intruding.

It's the smartest option with a would be killer on the loose.

Jesus Christ!

Jesus, Mindy, there wasn't a first killing. Tara's alive.

Jesus, Mindy.

Jesus, my mom was a character in one of them.

Joey and Pacey, check the front door. Jen and Cliff, get flashlights...

Just a bad dream.

Just call it Stab 8. It's fucking Stab 8.

Just hold on.

Just revising my suspect list.

Just sit tight for a draft, okay?

Just to get murdered, you're out of your mind.

Keep pouring, Wheeler. Thank you.

Killer.

Last time I checked.

Let me guess, the movies made you do it?

Let me see.

Let's do this together.

Let's get 'em into the kitchen.

Let's get the fuck out of town, huh?

Let's go.

Like a coward.

Like now. You want to go upstairs?

Like the new Halloween, Saw,

Like we've been so far?

Like your gimpy little sister's gonna make a difference.

Like... Like upstairs?

Listen up, uglier Michael Myers, it was a summer fling.

Listen, if you want to make me feel worse

Liv, stop.

Liv, where's my brother?

Liv?

Liv?

Look at your hair! I like it.

Look behind...

Look, I think...

Look, I'm sorry about what this has done to your lives.

Look, just because that guy showered

Look, just tell her Charlie called.

Looks like he's leaving.

Make a scary phone call to me?

Maybe it's because you're a selfish bitch

Maybe not the best idea to incite violence

Maybe Sam's changed.

Maybe that's the twist.

Maybe we should just give her some space.

Maybe you're too weak for this franchise.

Miss, you can't be here. You can't be here.

Mmm. And extra edamame. Please.

Mmm. Antipsychotics aren't working as well as they used to, are they?

Mom used to keep those boxes up in the attic?

Mom was dating Dad, but...

Mom, we're good. Thank you.

Mom?

Mom?

Most of the Stab movies are based on things that happened here.

My brother would be so proud.

My ending!

My inhaler. I usually keep an extra one.

My mom doesn't want to cause a panic.

My name is Samantha Carpenter.

My producers wanted me to cover this, for obvious reasons,

My sister and I were attacked.

My sister was attacked.

Needless to say, Woodsboro is on high alert today...

Never answer the...

Never fuck with the daughter of a serial killer.

Never go off on your own with a masked killer around.

Never trust the love interest.

Never, ever, ever, under any circumstances,

New main characters, yes,

Nice to meet you too.

Nice to meet... We met.

Nice to see you, Deputy Hicks.

No bad guy to keep coming back.

No last minute saves this time. Your story's over!

No matter what you hear or what you see on the news,

No more movies, no more fucking Ghostface.

No offense, Dewey. I have no intention

No offense.

No one cares about the shitty inferior sequels, Wes.

No one's pretending, Gale. I remember what happened.

No time.

No, hey! Sit the fuck down.

No, I got that one right. It should count.

No, I'm sorry. I know her son.

No, it was the message boards! I was radicalized.

No, Jamie. Watch out.

No, Mindy, stay with me.

No, no, it is. It is. That is right.

No, no, it's...

No, no, look. I'm almost 100% certain that you are not,

No, no, no, it's not my fault! It's not my fault!

No, no, no. Amber, I'm coming.

No, no, of course not.

No, she's my next call.

No, she's not available. May I take a message?

No, stop, stop, stop! I'm sorry about Dewey.

No, trust me. Sam is not cool. Her dad left her mom, right?

No!

No! No!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. But it will be.

No. No.

No. Not in a couple years.

None taken, but what's my motive?

Not just in the middle, Sam.

Not only because I destroyed our family that night,

Not quite a reboot, not quite a sequel.

Not really a fan of scary movies.

Not really.

Not really.

Not really.

Not that I want to sound like a stereotypical jock

Not this.

Not today.

Not you, Sam.

Nothing. No, I didn't do anything.

Now for the final question:

Now I can't have sex,

Now let's go back upstairs.

Number one...

Of course I came.

Of course you did. You have terrible taste.

Of course.

Of ever setting foot in that town again.

Of surviving a Stab movie.

Of what?

Of your fucked up movie?

Oh, Dewey.

Oh, I know this one, you fuck.

Oh, it gets all smooshy by the time it's here.

Oh, my God, at least take some sort of weapon.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. He's making a requel!

Oh, my God. Holy shit!

Oh, my God. How long has it been?

Oh, perfect. She's having a party.

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit. How far are we?

Oh, Stab is on Netflix.

Oh, Tara.

Oh, this is Richie, my boyfriend.

Oh, uh... I can't,

Oh, yeah!

Oh. Sorry to hear that.

Oh. There's two of you. Again.

Oh. Why don't you just Postmates it?

Okay, do I have to take this from shitty Sam Elliott over here, or what?

Okay, good luck.

Okay, I tried to be nice. Get the fuck out!

Okay, I'll be right back... Aha!

Okay, question one...

Okay, so no guys are good enough for her,

Okay, then.

Okay, uh, what's next?

Okay, well, lots of people love movies.

Okay, well, then go. I get it.

Okay, yeah, I was listening at the door.

Okay, yeah. Fuck. What's the goddamn address?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Come on, Mindy.

Okay. Okay.

On Ghostface's signature new weapon.

Once you tell me what kind of group we're talking about.

Once, I think.

One of you is the fucking killer!

Only it wasn't romantic.

Only one way to find out!

Ooh, suspects!

Or a legacyquel.

Or are you gonna use it?

Or are you happy sitting at this kids' table?

Or maybe I'm just stalling for time, fuckhead.

Or the Ghostface killings?

Or the killer could come back for her.

Or, and I'm just spit balling here...

Ow!

Ow! Ow.

Parts, sure.

Pepper spray, check. Taser, check.

Pick up, Wes!

Pissed on their childhoods.

Please get the fuck out.

Please speak English.

Please stop.

Please, it's not my fault. I'm just a dumb kid.

Please, please, please.

Please, please, please. I'm begging you.
