Scene 4: Finding the Store
*Camera moving along with the girls as they walk along the townhouses on Judson*
Janet: *stops walking* Oh no!
Kaitlyn: What’s wrong?
Janet: Oh, no no no!!
Alex: What’s wrong, Janet?!
Janet: I forgot my knee pads!
Erin: (stares at Janet) God, you are such an idiot.
Janet: God, I know! I left them right by the door…I can’t believe I forgot them…
*camera shot of Kaitlyn*
Kaitlyn: (mouths “oh my god”)
*camera goes to Erin, peering at something behind the camera*
Erin: Hey guys….why don’t we take a shortcut to the beach?
Alex: What kind of shortcut?
Erin: Let’s go through this alleyway.
Alex: Are you sure that will get us to the beach?
Erin: Sure it will. The beach is East. This goes East.
Kaitlyn: Great logic, Erin.
Erin: (rolls her eyes) Whatever. I’m going this way.
Janet: Erin, uh….I really don’t think that’s a good idea…
Erin: Why not? (already starting to walk into rape alley)
Janet: Because! Think about it! “Hey, look, here’s an abandoned, creepy-looking alleyway we’ve never been in before and in which there may lurk rapists or bloodthirsty hounds. Let’s go through it!
Alex: You know, Janet, you have a point.
Janet: Thank you.
Alex: So don’t worry, I’ve been in it before.
Janet: What?! No, that wasn’t my point!
Kaitlyn: Looks fine to me.
(everyone walking in)
Janet: (holding back) Wait, guys, come on, not a good idea!
*camera shot of the backs of the other three walking*
Alex: (shouting back without turning) Come on, Janet, or we’ll leave you behind.
Janet: (freaking out) (stutters)G- guys!! (makes an “urgh”-like roar sound, grabs a stick and stomps into the alley after them)
*shot from the side of them walking toward the small part of the alley. Camera follows them walking*
Kaitlyn: This is nice. We should build a summer home here.
(Erin and Alex laugh)
Alex: Nah, it’s like, totally empty. Nothing back here but cement and a few shitty old apartments.
Janet: (whimpering) We’re going to get serial killed.
Alex: You can’t get serial killed, you idiot.
Janet: Oh yeah? Than what do serial killers do, may I ask you? They SERIAL KILL. (does that hyperventilating thing Maya did one time)
Kaitlyn: (she walked ahead of the screen as others were talking, so you just hear her voice from inside the rape alley) Hey, guys, I don’t think this place is abandoned. (pops her head out) There’s a light on in this one place. I think it’s a shop. (goes back in)
(Erin and Alex follow curiously, Janet walking nervously behind them)
Janet: Guys….guys, I’m really not comfortable with this whole idea of other people nearby….(laughs nervously)
*as Janet is talking, camera follows them all towards the alley and then turns to see down the rape alley were Kaitlyn is standing*
Erin: Dude.
Alex: Looks like a shop…
Janet: Gee, whiz, a shop? No way. Well, let’s go to the beach now.
Kaitlyn: No, let’s check it out! I’ve never seen it before, it looks cool….
Erin: Yeah, totally.
Janet: No! Bad!
Alex: I don’t have any money with me…(walking down alley, talking to Erin)
Erin: It’s okay, if there’s anything cool, I’ll buy it and you can pay me back.
Alex: Kay.
Janet: (waves fists around fanatically) GUYS!!! (sighs) Aw, damnit….(follows them in)
