between October 16th and 18th, 1984

These scenes are undated but I believe they are during the week of October 15th.


Catlin: oh, that didn't take long.

Sally: well, luckily.

Catlin: what did you do, jog?

Sally: I should've. I saw the woman at the front desk giving you the eye when you walked in.

Catlin: don't even joke around like that. If you don't trust me by now then none of this is worth it.

Sally: oh come on I do trust you. Just not around Donna [she laughed].

Catlin: I don't think I ever want to hear Donna's name again.

Sally: sorry, but you have to.

Catlin: what?

Sally: well, she's got something to do with these murders. She was arrested, you know.

Catlin: yeah, I heard.

Sally: well I told the police I saw her wearing the ring.

Catlin: the ring you saw the night of the murder.

Sally: yeah I know it was the same ring. But they let her go. Not enough evidence according to Larry.

Catlin: again and again and again and

Sally: oh! But today I got more stuff on her.

Catlin: really?

Sally: yeah, Dr Dunning's old files. I found the record about her.

Catlin: you know, I don't like this — this private eye stuff. It's getting a little out of hand.

Sally: Catlin, we're getting somewhere.

Catlin: you really think Donna was in on it?

Sally: well — don't you?

Catlin: I don't know.

Sally: now you're going to tell me that she wouldn't ever do anything wrong, that she's a real sweetheart.

Catlin: I thought we dropped that subject. It's just — why would Donna do it?

Sally: well maybe David and Dr Dunning had something on her like that file.

Catlin: what did the file say?

Sally: Oh well that's the thing.it was empty. Somebody tore up the medical records. I got the file though.

Catlin: where is it?

Sally: in my bag.

Catlin: all right. I don't want you taking any more risks. What if someone saw you today?

Sally: there was no risk, I took a file —

Catlin: you know, listen to me — what about what happened in that parking lot today?

Sally: oh. Oh, I forgot. I can't believe I didn't tell you this I was so mad at you.

Catlin: what?

Sally: I saw him.

Catlin: who?

Sally: the guy, the murderer, the one who ran you off the road.

Catlin: today?

Sally: yeah, at the bar.

Catlin: oh, Sally.

Larry: Catlin, open up, it's me.

Catlin: just a minute.

Sally: what is he DOING here?

Catlin: I'll explain later.

Sally: he'll arrest you.

Catlin: no he won't. It's part of the deal.

Sally: DEAL?

Catlin: I'll explain later. Never mind. Get in here.

Sally: oh, what is going on?

Catlin: don't worry.

Sally: oh. Catlin.

Catlin: what? [she kissed him and he shut her up in the closet and let Larry in.]


Catlin: go ahead, hit me.

Sally: I really should... no. You're not going to get me laughing.

Catlin: no?

Sally: no.

Catlin: all right. I guess I should have insisted on you knowing.

Sally: yeah you should have.

Catlin: it was just awkward all those people doing it for me.

Sally: they should do it for you. It's OK though. I forgive you.

Catlin: well. We've had our first fight.

Sally: you know what they say about fighting. It's so much fun to make up.

[Catlin laughed.] VAST MAKING UP NOISES.


Catlin: what time do you have to leave?

Sally: I don't.

Catlin: what?

Sally: I'm not going home. My mom thinks I'm in Boston.

Catlin: you're kidding.

Sally: no. I couldn't sit around there not doing anything so I told her I was going to visit friends in Boston. Everybody goes to New England around now. You know, foliage and all that.

Catlin: so you came to Crystal Lake to look for Dunning's records.

Sally: Yop. Now I have nowhere to go. I guess you'll have to take me in.

Catlin: I don't know how long you can stay here.

Sally: why, because of Larry?

Catlin: yeah, he keeps checking in.

Sally: well, not again tonight.

Catlin: that's a good point... When I woke up this morning I had no idea this day would turn out like this.

Sally: yeah, our first fight and now we're going to spend our first night together.

Catlin: I can't believe it.

Sally: we WERE going to spend the night together before —

Catlin: yeah, and Donna —

Sally: DON'T mention her name.

Catlin: all right, ALL RIGHT.

Sally: you remember what we decided?

Catlin:. That everything would be perfect.

Sally: and that's not going to be long. I know it. We're going to be together and it's going to be just perfect. Everything. Does that make you happy?

Catlin: yeah.

Sally: The only problem is, I don't have anything to wear to bed. Pause.

Catlin: um. Where is your stuff?

Sally: in my car. In that awful parking lot.

Catlin: well I have a bunch of stuff in that bag back there.

Sally: Oooh. That'd be fine. I'll find something.

Catlin: OK.

VAST RUMMAGING SOUNDS. Peal of laughter from Sally.

Sally: I found something.

Catlin: good. Great.

Sally: how do I look?

Catlin made peculiar appreciative sounds.


Catlin: what's that for?

Sally: honey, you didn't think I was going to let you sleep on the bare FLOOR, did you?

Catlin: no. Um — no, I didn't think that at all.

Sally: well I took the bedspread.

Catlin: well that's OK.

Sally: well, honey, you can have the blanket.

Catlin: I — I don't think I'll need it.

Sally: OK, well, whatever. Anyway, I'm so nice, I took the lumpiest pillow.

Catlin: great. Thanks.

Sally: this is nice, being close like this, isn't it?

Catlin: yeah. This is really nice.

Sally: I'm glad that I'm different for you. Different from Donna Love.

Catlin: yeah.

Sally: I'm glad that's what you want.

Catlin: yeah. This is — what I wanted. It sure is.

Sally: good night. I love you.

Catlin: I love you too. I love you so much. DISCONTENTED BREATHING.
