Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

Jason. Jason.

It's like this:

We live in claustrophobia. A land of steel and concrete...

...trapped by dark waters.

There is no escape, nor do we want it.

We've come to thrive on it and each other.

You can't get the adrenaline pumping without the terror, good people.

I love this town.

You've been listening to WGAZ...

...the electricity of Manhattan.

This request has gone all the way out to Crystal Lake...

...and the senior class of Lakeview High.

- That's us. - All right!

They'll be graduating on the 13th of this month...

......and we wish them the best of luck and success...

...when they come to visit our seductive city.

Our lure is a great one, young friends, but beware.

The city of lights casts many shadows indeed.

- I love you. - I love you.

- Gotta throw the anchor over. - Okay.

- Hey, what's wrong? - Nothing.

Come on, Jimmy, something's bothering you.

Just that we're right around that summer camp...

...where all those murders took place.

- What murders? - You don't wanna know about it.

- Tell me. - Forget about it, Suzi.

The guy's dead now. Somewhere at the bottom of this lake...

...if you believe the stories.

What stories?

There was this boy named Jason Voorhees.

He drowned in Crystal Lake about 30 years ago.

None of the counselors heard him.

Help!

A bunch of years went by, and everyone forgot about it.

And that's when the murders started to happen.

Jason did it?

His mother blamed the counselors for her son's death...

...and she tried to kill them all, but she got her head chopped off by one of them.

Legend has it that Jason came back to get even...

...vowing to kill every teenager in the area.

And every now and then, the murders just start up.

Forget about it, Suzi, they're just stories.

Did you hear that?

- Hear what? - Come on, I'm serious.

All right. I'll go check it out.

Jim?

Jimmy?

Stop screwing around, Jim. I mean it.

Got you good, Suzi.

All right, all right, so I'm a major ass.

And you'll never do it again? And I'll never do it again.

- Come on, forgive me? - No, heh.

Jason?

No. No, please, no!

No. No. No, please, no!

No! No! No!

No! No!

Well, Toby's been awful quiet back there.

Yeah, I guess he's a little nervous about the trip.

Here.

Go on, open it.

Stephen King supposedly used it in high school.

I don't know what to say.

Rennie, you are the best student I have ever had.

You have a real gift.

And if there's anybody that can make use of that pen, it's you.

Hi!

- Hello, Charles. Colleen.

You know, this cruise was your idea. So at the very least...

...you could show up on time.

- Has everyone checked in? - No.

Jim Miller and Suzi Donaldson never showed up...

...and I'm more than a little concerned.

Well, don't be. They probably decided to explore each other...

...rather than New York, heh.

Oh, that's nice. We're running five minutes late already.

There's someone else coming too.

You never should have brought her here.

It's up to Rennie to decide what she wants to do.

She doesn't know what she wants.

She never had a stable life till she came to live with me.

And she certainly doesn't have one now either.

I'm her legal guardian, not you or anybody else.

And I know what's best for her. End of discussion.

No, I think it's just the beginning.

Have you decided on your departure protocol, admiral?

Actually, I thought I'd leave that honor to my son.

- Dad, I don't think that's necessary. - Relinquishing command...

...of the motor vessel Lazarus to Captain Sean Robertson.

But, uh, before you take the helm, take this.

Something old and something new.

I used that sextant when I was your age.

Now they got those goddamn computers that do all the work for you.

Have you decided on a plan of departure, captain?

Okay.

How about we, uh, start up the engines and come around 180 degrees?

Aren't you forgetting something, mister?

Um....

Send out the international maritime signal.

Followed by a security broadcast warning other ships...

...that we are underway.

This voyage is doomed.

Heh. Yeah, tell me about it.

Bye!

Have fun in New York! Bye!

- Rennie. - Hi, Sean.

I heard you weren't coming.

We changed our minds.

- I got you a present. - But I didn't get you one.

Forget it. It's a dumb little thing anyway.

Sean, I love it.

You see, I thought when we got there...

...maybe we could hike to the top of the statue...

...if you felt like it.

It's supposed to be 22 stories tall.

That sounds wonderful.

Mr. Robertson. Your father was looking for you.

I guess I'll see you later.

What are you doing here? We've already been through all of this.

I'm sorry, Uncle Charles. Please don't be upset with me.

I'm not upset, I'm just...

...concerned.

Is this ax awesome or what?

Too cool, J.J. Your parents really came through.

Heh, no lie. - Heh.

Hey, I hear there's this big power room downstairs.

We can get supreme concert-hall echo.

So come on down and shoot a basement tape on me, okay?

Yeah. But I gotta get some "shockumentary" footage first.

Heh, oh, man. Don't tell me you're still trying to scam on Tamara.

How long have we known each other?

Don't be a dweeb, Wayne.

She's not interested in you, only what you can do for her.

- She is a user. - She's sexy.

So what? So is this guitar.

Yeah. Well, I'll talk to you later, all right?

There's a big storm predicted for tonight.

Rennie, you're making a big mistake.

It's not too late to put you back onshore.

If Miss Van Deusen knew how afraid you were of....

She didn't push me into this.

Why are you doing this to yourself?

I don't even know what I'm afraid of, Uncle Charles.

I can't even remember when it started.

Don't you think it's time I found out and got over it?

Facing your fear doesn't always conquer it.

I'm staying.

Okay.

Ah, man, this place is aching for a video!

Wayne, you're an asshole.

So, what do you think?

Time for some personal experiences to fuel our minds?

I agree.

Mommy?

Help! Help me!

Help!

Toby!

Is that a muscular bod or what?

One more, one more!

He's undefeated, you know that?

Julius is the only senior I'd even consider doing it with.

- He is so good-looking. - Heh.

Gorgeous guy at ten o'clock. Look sensual.

I think it's time for some recreational activity, girl.

Have you seen my niece anywhere?

Uh, yeah, I think she's motivating downstairs, Mr. McCulloch.

Uh, what's the problem?

Well, senior predictions started five minutes ago...

...and she hasn't shown up yet.

Oh, well, uh, maybe some of us don't want our futures predicted.

Heh, well, in your case, I'm sure that's true.

Nighttime is the right time.

No, thanks.

Don't be a lightweight. This is top-dollar toot.

It's not that. It's just, you know...

...if we get caught, I could lose my science scholarship and everything.

You're talking to the prom queen, Eva.

Do you really think I'm gonna risk getting caught?
