Halloween II

BRACKET leaves.

LOOMIS
(to COP)
Thank you.

COP nods.

MYERS house-people are throwing bricks at the windows.

POLICE CAR pulls up.

COP
(on RADIO)
This is Hank. Send another vehicle to the Myers house.

LOOMIS
Just drive. One of their number was butchered this is the way.

LOOMIS loads his gun. COP looks at him.

LOOMIS
Hightens my sense of security.

COP smiles.

They get out of the car and walk to the Myers House.

COP
Stop it! Knock it off.

COP
(to LOOMIS)
You know. Haddonfield was a pretty quiet town before tonight. The only gunshot you heard was to start off the race at the high school track.

LOOMIS
Well this night in '63 Michael Myers did murder his sister in that bedroom upstairs with a butcher's knife.

COP
I remember.

LOOMIS
On halloween.

COP
I was sixteen years old.

LOOMIS
His anniversary was tonight. He came back.

COP
After fifteen years.

LOOMIS
Micheal Myers was an extraordinary patient. There was a force inside him biding his time. He came acustomed to the inability and silence. In many ways he was the ideal patient he never talked he never cried he never moved. He just waited. The staff was unprepared they didn't know what he was.

COP
Did you know?

LOOMIS
Yea I knew.

Two boys approach the COP.

BOY #1
Mr. Hank?

COP
What is it Greg?

BOY #1
I'm worried about Ben Tramer he's not home yet.

BOY #2
And he left the party at ten.

COP
It's only a little after eleven boys.

BOY #1
He was real drunk.

LOOMIS
How old is he?

BOY #1
Seventeen. And he had this stupid mask on.

COP
Alright boys.

THE BOYS LEAVE.

LOOMIS
Seventeen. Wearing a mask. We should check his dental record.

BRACKET
There's a break in at the elementary school they're pretty sure that it's him.

LOOMIS
Come on.

The cops dash to their car.

HOSPITAL-CARA is in the hall-she hears the patient bell and it alarms her. She laughs and walks into a room with a stethoscope. She touches a patient and he pulls her on top of him. The patient is BUDD. She screams and he laughs.

BUDD
Ow my hand. You could have broken it.

CARA
I wish I had. I also could have used these on you (pulls out scissors). What an a**hole.

BUDD
Happy Halloween.
