"I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER" CUT SCENE NUMBER 2.
THIS TAKES PLACE AFTER BARRY AND MAX FIGHT AT THE OYSTER BAR AND BEFORE THE BEACH SCENE.
EXT. ROAD - MINUTES LATER
A long, deserted road. The ocean sparkles in the distance under a brightly lit moon.
The BMW makes it way, weaving from side to side. Helen stands, sticking out of the sun roof. She waves her scepter into the air, performing...
HELEN
(way dramatic)
"I am a Seagull..."
INT. BMW - SAME
MUSIC BLARES from the loud speakers. Barry drives recklessly, crossing the line deliberately, LAUGHING it up.
RAY
I thought you weren't going till August?
BARRY
The coach give freshman a lead in. I'm
gonna kick SOME COLLAGE ASS!!!
Barry BEATS the dash, HOLLERING. Helen falls down into her seat, spinning around, a bit tipsy.
HELEN
God, I'm gonna miss you guys.
JULIE
You promised. No maudlin theatrics.
HELEN
But everything's ending.
RAY
We're evolvvvvving. It's just beginning.
HELEN
I hate that.
BARRY
Then we make a pact. Right here and now.
No matter where we go. No matter what we
do. No matter what happens. We stick
together.
HELEN
Sounds good to me.
Ray looks at Julie, smiling.
RAY
Me, too.
Barry lets out another rebellious HOLLER, speeding up, HONKING the horn.
RAY
Slow down, Barr. You're gonna be picking up
highway trash.
Helen giggles as Barry speeds up faster. Through the windshield, a curve appears.
JULIE
Jesus, Reaper's Curve. SLOW DOWN!
Julie hits him in the shoulder. Barry's having a blast. He speeds up faster. Helen's loving it too. She sways from side to side.
BARRY
PREPARE TO DIE!
HELEN
SOAP OPERA CRASH!
Helen throws her arms up dramatically, emitting a SHRILL FAKE SCREAM. Julie and Ray SCREAM for real. At the last possible moment, Barry hits the breaks...
EXT. ROAD - SAME
As the car skids around the curve, completely out of control, it swerves off the road coming to an ultra smooth stop just short of going over the railing and into the water below.
EXT. DOCK - SAME
The dock sits below like a jetty. Headlight stream off the edge of the cliff as a MAN'S FIGURE stares up at the road above. From his hand, the medallion dangles in the wind.
CUT TO:
INT. CAR - SAME
Dead silence. Julie and Ray are frozen stiff. Barry takes a swig of Jim Beam, eyeing them in the mirror.
BARRY
You guys should get out more.
JULIE
You asshole.
Julie is livid.
RAY
It's okay. We're alright.
BARRY
Who's the asshole? You got in a car
with a drunk driver. You should know
better little Miss-I-got-a-scholarship-
for-being-soooo-smart.
JULIE
People die on this curve all the time.
BARRY
Thus the name--Reaper's Curve.
Barry puts the car in gear, giving Helen a conspiratory wink. She suppresses a giggle as Barry takes off down the road. Only much saner this time. The perfect by-the-book driver.
Julie has gone quiet. She sinks into the backseat, into the comfort of Ray's arms.
