Silent Scream

What is your major?

- Have you had your physical examination yet? - Who is next?

Parking permits... Mr. Zimmerman

I didn't get my library card, can you tell me where I can go get it?

Do you have your registration receipts?

- Where is the housing desk? - Third desk down.

- Name? - Scotty Parker.

- Your Major? - I'm a journalism major.

I don't think you're going to find me on that... I transferred at the very last minute...

- and I didn't have time... - Ms. Parker, have you any idea the housing problem in Santa Rey?

On campus housing was filled 2 months ago!

You can try these... But they haven't been approved by the housing committee.

So we can't vouch for their quality!

- Ok! Thank you... - Everybody's late...

"TIMBER COVEN ROAD"

Is anybody home?!

Hello?!...

...Hello!

- Hey!...Where are you? - I'm down here!

Oh...Hi!

- Listen...you live here? - Yeah, you looking for a room?

No I'm not looking for a room, I'm desperate for a room!

Now if you turn me away, I'm going to have to sleep on the beach tonight!

- Please! Please! - I'm not the one you should talk to.

- I think they can take care of you up there. - Oh god, I hope so.

- I'm Scotty. - I'm Doris.

- I knocked on the door, but nobody's there. - Mrs. Engels is probably in there...

but she wouldn't come down to answer the door.

However I think Mason should be home pretty soon.

Is that Mason?

Are you kidding? Mason's a little high school kid.

Does he wear glasses and ride a bike? - Yeah how did you know?

Because I passed him on the way up here, Come on!

The guy in the porsche is looking for a room too! He's going to get it first!

- Wait a minute, Wait a minute! - She was here first!

I don't want to put you on the spot, But I had a really bad day and I really need a room!

- So do I! - I'm not a violent person by nature...

But if there's a room here, I'm ready to fight for it.

Why fight we can always share it...

I don't really think there's a problem... There are two rooms for rent...

- No...no...she's Scotty, I'm Doris. - Ah, I'm Peter Ransom

and it's a pleasure to meet you both.

The kitchen is back through here...

You guys can figure out what shelves you'll be using in the refrigerator when Jack gets home.

- Who's Jack? - He's your other housemate...

- I can show you your rooms now if you want. - Oh please. - Please.

- This is the good one. - It's yours if you want it.

- How much is it? - Um $75 dollars a month.

Well there's another one that's a little smaller... But it's real nice, and it's only $50.

- I better take that one. - If she doesn't want it, I do.

We could've had a bidding war for that room, not that I care since my father pays for everything.

But to show you his appreciation. Why don't I take you to dinner...?

I have a better idea, Jack will be home soon...

So why dont you take all four of us out to dinner.

I know this great little place just down the beach. ...of course if you can't afford it...

I can handle it thanks.

I can always sell my car...

The other room is right here.

- Can you show me the rest of the house? - I'll take it!

There's a laundry room in the basement, and you'll have to clean up after yourself if you use the kitchen.

Sounds good to me.

Also there's only one bathtub, so you'll have to keep that clean too.

Ok, I'll still take it. Oh, this is just right!

I'm glad you like it... It was my sister's room.

Are there advantages to being rich?...

I was wondering if you had any place to store these suitcases...

- There really isn't any space in my room. - There's lots of room in the basement.

Basement's are kind of damp... Do you have an Attic?

- Well...um...yeah. - Is it ok if I put them up there?

- If there's something wrong with the attic... - No, it's fine, you can put them in the attic.

Just try to be quiet when you go by my mother's room.

...It's the door on the right. the attic's on the left.

Ok...thanks.

Hi...

Mason told be it would be alright if I put my suitcases here.

I'm sorry...that I bothered you.

Hey Peter!

- Hi, what's up? - Nothing, you need some help unloading your stuff?

Yeah sure, why not?

Hurry up the bus is leaving.

So are you ready to celebrate our last night of freedom before the new term?

- Well... I think that's a pretty good excuse for a party. - Anything's a good excuse for a party.

So tell me about this restaurant that your taking me to tonight, Is it far?

No not really, we can walk to it on the beach if you feel like it.

Sounds like fun.

That I take it is the other roomate.

You got it.

- Hi I hope I'm not interrupting anything. - No not at all, come meet your new neighbor.

- Jack this is Peter. - Hey how you doing? - How are you.

- This your machine? - Yup.

Sure is a beauty.

You know the salt air is going to kill the finish around here. - There's nothing I can do about that.

- Sure all you gotta do is buy one of those canvas covers. - Oh man, life's too short to hassle that kinda thing every day!

- Guess what? - What?

Peter's taking all of us out to dinner tonight. - Alright Peter.

- Who's all of us? - You will see...

Oh I will see huh? Is there a surprise in store?

There's a little surprise that I can't talk to you about.

Do I have to close my eyes and hold out my hand?

You can close your eyes but your washing your hand.

- Where are you guys? - Come on!

Hey were up here, can't you see us? We'll be coming along.

- Come on! - Hey your dealing with hunger here!

- Hey, you get a feeling Doris set us up? - Yes.

- Do you mind? - No, do you mind? - No.

Hey, come on.

...Stay with me forever my sweet love...

...We will never, never be apart...

...I love you baby...

...Oh baby I have...

I love you baby...

Oh baby I have...

Oh baby I have...

Excuse me, that's a double. Look Ralph said...

That's terrific! That's fabulous!

All my girlfriends had their nose fixed, they all went to the same doctor

So they all came out with the same nose. I mean there was 6 girls in our high school...

with exactly...Dr. Knitzwitz...

Why don't we join...

Of course my flower!

- Oh just in time. - I found you just in...

- Will you move back! - Just don't push anything!

You'll have to pay for it.

- Do you please just move back and leave me alone! - Doris stop that!

- I'll leave you alone...here are my hands on the table... - Keep them there and why don't you move over!

- I'll move over if you turn and face me... - Will you not touch me!

Do you know that we are sitting with Peter Ransom the Third? - The third? -Ughh.

Dont worry Doris...don't be alarmed I'm not going to name our first son Peter Absolute Fourth...

- Do not...do not concern yourself. - Oh I'm sure the little bastard will really appreciate that.

He'll appreciate everything I buy him.

Well I'm Jack Towne the first and the last thing I want to think is kids, so here's to... - Yay, no kids!

- You worried about Doris? - Doris...

- Doris is a big girl, she can take care of herself. - I'm sorry.

Oh shit, my dress is getting wet, you know what we might as well be skinny dipping.

- I don't know, do we know each other that well? - No.

You know, you're really a jerk!

What's the matter?

- I'm not going to hurt you, what's the matter with you? - Nothing!

Doris...

- Come on...Do you want to wrestle? - No!

Come on Doris!

- He held the reception around his swimming pool and he threw his wife in the pool.

- Are you kidding me? - No I'm not kidding you.

Peter!

I beg your pardon my princess.

Doris, just wait a minute... I want to have a brief discussion with you...

Now just... relax that...

- You're... - Stop it!

Oh...just...wait...Doris! You don't need to get physical...you know?

...very kind of a sexual feeling, and all of a sudden, he backed away with this horrified expression on his face.

- Because of my falsies had come off too. - Oh.

How about a small orgy?

How about a little sleep.

- Can I have my pick? - No!

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Seashore...

Oh...great!

- So what's the matter? - I knew I should have gone with Scotty and Jack

I told you the tide was going to come in.

This is another fine mess I've gotten myself into...

- What are we going to do now? - What do you think? Were going to get out feet wet.

- Well I better take my shoes off. - Oh, that's a good idea Peter...

- Are you coming Peter? - In a second...alright?

Person needs a moment, to compose themselves before they're going swimming.

Are you coming Peter?!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

- You asshole! - I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really am sorry.

Doris sweetie...listen...look...

Did anyone ever tell you you've got great tits...Oww! Doris!

Doris wait a minute! Doris wait!

Doris!

What did I say?!

Could've dropped!

Hi! How you doing?

- Morning Manny. - Hi Paul.

They're almost done in there.

Any Surprises?

Well, he's not going to recover, if that's what you mean.

They covered at least 9 entry wounds, Whoever did it, wasn't fooling around.

Any idea what kind of knife?

Yeah... Real big and real sharp.

Terrific.

I talked to Stevens a few minutes ago,

the boys still haven't found anything down at the beach.

You got any good news?

I got a line on those kids he was with last night.

You left Mr. Ransom alone on the beach, Right?

Yeah...

Why?

What do you mean by that?

Well, he was walking you home, Wasn't he?

- Yeah...but... - Listen he was drunk for christ's sake, he was giving her a hard time.

Look, I know this isn't easy... But I'm really trying not to be a bad guy

It's very important that we find out everything we can.

I'll be ok...

Is there anything else you can think of that will help us?

Ok, I'll be right back.

I saw them leave, but I've must've been watching tv, or something because I didn't hear them come back.

- I don't know what time they... - Excuse me, please.

- Yeah? - I finished with those kids, alright.
