Friday the 13th

MARCIE

Mmmmmmmph?

JACK

Mmmmmmmph.

MARCIE

Best over...

JACK

Umhummmmph.

MARCIE

Like waves. It's never been likes waves before.

JACK

Whassamatta?

MARCIE

Gotta pee. You're lying on my bladder.

She rolls over and grabs her underpants and t-shirt. While still on the bottom bunk, she puts herself into her limited clothing. Jack gives her room.

MARCIE

(dressing)

I know this ain't very romantic, but what can I say? I don't want to explode.

She grabs a flashlight, scoots to the door and is gone.

Jack lies back and puts his hands under his hand.

CUT TO:

EXT. CAMP GROUNDS – NIGHT

Marcie runs across the now-wet central area towards the bathroom facility. She tries to skip between the raindrops, but she knows she'll get a drenching.

CUT TO:

INT. BOY'S CABIN – NIGHT

Jack rolls to his side, picks up a small hand-rolled cigarette and lights it. He inhales deeply, rolls on his back. Something overhead catches his eye. Across the way from the row of toilet stalls is a row of shower stalls, and further down is a row of several sinks and mirrors. We hear the toilet flush.

We CUT INSIDE the toilet booth as Marcie stands reading the graffiti to herself. We can only see her from the chest up.

MARCIE

(reading)

"Forty yards to the outhouse by Willie Makit." "The Yellow Stream by I.P. Daley." Not the most original stuff, kids.

There is a noise outside the stall.

MARCIE

(continuing)

Jack?

She hears no response and assumes that her imagination is playing tricks with her. Marcie picks up the flashlight and exits the stall.

Marcie crosses to the row of sinks, stops, puts the flashlight down and turns on the water faucet. There is no water.

CUT TO:

PROWLER'S POV OF MARCIE

From the end of the row of showers, we watch Marcie bend under the sink and turn on one of the spigots. Water rushes into the sink.

MEDIUM CLOSEUP Marcie: She rinses her hands, shakes them dry and turns off the water. Again she hears a noise. She looks to the row of showers and smiles.

MARCIE

Jack?

The screen door to the shower room is swinging open and shut.

Marcie looks over, smiles. She thinks someone is trying to scare her.

MARCIE

(continuing)

Jack? Neddy? Don't put me on.

There is a dripping sound. Marcie stops at the first shower, hesitates.

Throws back the first curtain. There is no one there. She reaches in and makes sure the spigot is really off.

She goes to the second shower, looks over her shoulder to the empty toilet. Then reaches in to the shower curtain.

MARCIE

(continuing)

Allee allee infree!

She throws back the curtain. Again no one is there.

She breathes a sigh of disappointment.

MARCIE

(continuing)

Must be my imagination.

In CLOSEUP she turns back toward the sink area when suddenly the TRACK explodes with a MUSICAL STINGER. It happens in a flash. A shape lunges from the toilet booth across from the first shower. A hatchet glints. Marcie screams. The hatchet strikes. The flashlight clatters to the floor.

CUT TO:

EXT. DINER – NIGHT

The sound of a cash register ringing up a sale hangs over an establishing shot of the diner. Through the window, which are being pelted with rain, we can see a WAITRESS and some CUSTOMERS seated on stools at the counter.

CUT TO:

INT. DINER – NIGHT

The Waitress is different from the morning woman, slightly older, but still attractive. She says good night to her CUSTOMER, who finishes paying his bill and crosses down the counter. Seated there is Steve Christy, finishing his cup of coffee. The waitress, SANDY, picks up his empty pie plate and tosses it in a pan of other dirty dishes.

SANDY

Anything else you want?

STEVE

No, thanks. I'm fine. Sandy.

SANDY

You can't go back there tonight. Not in that stuff. 'Less you wanta get drownded.

STEVE

(drinking quickly)

I got to.

SANDY

Aw.

Sandy likes Steve and enjoys flirting with him.

STEVE

I have six new counsellor up there. They're all babes in the woods in every sense of the word.

SANDY

They'll be okay if they know enough to stay in outta the rain.

STEVE

How much do I owe you?
