He's trying to make her laugh. It's working.
SAM
You want a Xanax?
RICHIE
I would like all the Xanax, yes!
Sam chuckles at this. Richie looks at her.
RICHIE (CONT'D) You know I'm down for whatever with you, right? We gotta go to serial killer central, we go to serial killer central.
SAM You're sweet.
RICHIE
(serious)
Can I ask you one question though? You have any idea why someone wearing that mask would want to kill your sister?
Sam looks out the window at this. Not meeting his eye.
SAM No.
INT. HOSPITAL - HALLWAY - EVENING
Sam and Richie walk down a Woodsboro Hospital hallway on their way to Tara's recovery room.
Sam squeezes Richie's hand, takes a breath, and enters...
INT. HOSPITAL - TARA'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Sam sees Tara and stops in her tracks. She isn't a pretty sight. Around the room are Amber, Mindy, Wes, and Chad. Amber glares at Sam as she goes to Tara's side.
SAM
Hey... How you feeling?
TARA
(weak) You came.
SAM
Of course I did. Wes called me. (off her look)
This is my boyfriend, Richie.
AMBER
You brought a date?
TARA Don't start...
Richie squats next to Tara.
RICHIE
It's very nice to meet you and I hope I'm not intruding.
Tara smiles at him as Chad, Mindy, and Wes embrace Sam.
SAM
This is Chad and Mindy, the twins, and Wes Hicks. I used to babysit them all.
WES
Which is always how I like to be introduced.
Richie shakes their hands in turn as Sam looks back to Tara.
SAM Where's Mom?
TARA
She was here earlier-
AMBER
For all of ten minutes. Look, Tara's really tired, and there are like a lot of people in here, so...
TARA
It's okay. I want her to stay.
Sam smiles, grateful.
SAM
I was thinking... I could sleep here tonight.
TARA I'd like that.
Amber opens her mouth, but Wes places a hand on her shoulder.
WES
Maybe we should let them catch up.
Amber looks to Tara, who subtly nods. Amber, obviously a little hurt, but plants a kiss on Tara's forehead anyway.
