AMBER

Is this because you two aren't having sex yet?

WES

Don't do it, Liv, there's a psycho out there. Make yourself harder to find. Delete social media, tape over your phone camera, disable GPS-

CHAD

Thank you, Edward Snowden. By the way, your mom just asked me if I was involved in Tara's attempted murder, so that was fun.

Wes looks over to see his mother, SHERIFF JUDY HICKS (from Scream 4) standing by her cruiser with her deputies. She waves at him cheerily, proud Mom. He shrinks back down.

WES

I'm sure she's asking everybody.

AMBER

Not just people like you, who look like 'roided out serial killers.

CHAD

What about you, Amber? That Snapchat could have been prerecorded, so what's your alibi?

AMBER

How could it be me? Tara literally saw the killer and me in the same frame, genius.

LIV

But aren't there always two killers in Stab movies?

Mindy looks up from her phone.

MINDY

Not in 3 or 8. Stay in your lane, Liv.

MINDY (CONT'D)

(to Wes)

The press still isn't saying Ghostface.

WES

Mom doesn't want to cause a panic.

MINDY

It'll get out. It always gets out by the second or third killing.

AMBER

Jesus, Mindy - there wasn't a first killing. Tara's alive.

MINDY

Hm. I mean, she could still die-

CHAD Fuck, Mindy!

MINDY

Or the killer could come back for her-

LIV

(to Chad)

Can you please tell your sister to stop talking?

MINDY

I'm just saying, something's different this time.

WES

(showing them)

I'm telling you, arm up. Pepper spray? Check. Taser? Check-

AMBER

Girlfriend repellent? Check.

Wes reddens as Liv sits up straight.

LIV

Holy shit, is that Vince?

She's looking at a SKEEZY LOOKING DUDE hanging out in the parking lot. This is VINCE (22). Sleeve tattoos. Dark hair. Leering at Liv. A menacing presence.

CHAD

That creep you hooked up with last summer?

LIV

Yeah, he worked with Tara and me. He's been stalking my Instagram the last few weeks, saying creepy shit.
