Scream 3

- -

Moving on to the Hollywood Freeway,

we have a multiple-vehicle, multiple-injury accident.

An absolute mess from Vine Street to the Valley.

If you're in it, expect a long commute. If you're not, seek alternate routes.

If Dan doesn't wanna do a daily rate,

we can talk about a weekly rate.

But I'm telling you right now, I'm not going below a million.

I mean, think about it. I'm risking my reputation

as the host of this country's number one

-nationally syndicated talk show… -

…to do a cameo in some cheap slasher flick.

I mean, why can't these guys write me a fucking decent part?

You know, I lived through the fucking thing.

By the way, you talk to Cathy about that Navy SEAL script?

- -Hang on a sec.

-Hello? - Hello?

-Who's this? - Who's this?

-Who are you calling? - Oh!

You know what? I'm sorry. I have the wrong number.

-That's okay. - Uh, uh. Wait a minute.

I… I… I know your voice.

You sound a lot like that guy on TV. Um. Uh, uh, uh. Cotton Weary.

I do, huh?

Yeah. I think he's got a really sexy voice.

Oh, well, thank you.

Wait a minute. You are Cotton, aren't you?

-Oh, my God. I am talking to Cotton Weary. -

I can't believe this.

You got me. Look, I've… I've got someone on the other line.

Can you hold on one second? I'll right back, I promise.

- Yeah. -O… Okay.

Yeah.

Andrea, uh, I gotta call you back. Someone's on the other line.

So, uh, you a big 100% Cotton fan?

- Yeah, 110%. -

That's very good. So, um, why don't you tell me who you are?

Ooh, you're a naughty boy, Cotton.

Now, what would your girlfriend say?

What makes you think I have a girlfriend?

- I know you do. -

I'm right outside her bathroom door.

Who is this?

- - She's in the shower.

-She's got a nice little voice. -

Let's come in for a closer look.

She's very pretty, Cotton.

-A step up from Maureen Prescott. -

Speaking of which, let's play a little game.

Answer right, your girlfriend lives.

-Answer wrong, she dies. -

Where's Maureen's daughter, Sidney?

-Who the fuck is this? -

Somebody who'd kill to know where Sidney Prescott is.

One chance, Cotton. You've got connections. Where is she?

You listen to me, you fucking psycho. You lay a finger on Christine,

-and I swear to God, I'll kill you. - Wrong answer.

- -No, wait. Hello?

- -Shit!

- Hey! -Get out of the way!

- You just hit me! -Move!

- -

- -

- -

You stupid fuck!

Christine, if you're there, pick up the phone!

- -Christine, pick up the phone! Oh, shit!

- -

- -

You have reached 911.

-Due to the volume of calls… -Someone pick up the goddamn phone.

Please hold…

-Move out of the way! -

- Thank you… - Shit!

-…you have reached 911-- -Shit!

- -

Cotton, is that you?

Cotton?

Honey?

- -

-Okay, Cotton. -

-You know I don't like your Stab games. -

Who is it? Who's there?

Christine? Hon, you all right?

-I'm home. - Jesus!

You scared the shit out of me.

You're not gonna believe what just happened to me.

What are you talking about?

- -

Get the hell out of here!

Okay, okay, I'm sorry, babe.

I didn't mean to scare you that bad.

-It's me. Come on, open the door. -Oh, my God.

-What are you doing? - What?

-What the fuck are you doing?! -

I… I was just, you know, trying to take

-the game to the next level. I'm sorry. -

Come on, open the door, Chris.

-The game? - Yeah, the game!

What are you talking about?

Talking about how much fun it's gonna be

to rip your insides out! Now, open the fucking door, Christine!

- -Oh, my God! Cotton!

Now you're fucking history, bitch!

- -

- -

Christine?

Hon?

…the recent epidemic of road rage in Los Angeles.

Innocent commuters mercilessly terrorized…

Chris?

…and even killed by these madmen of the freeway.

No messing around, okay?

On tomorrow's show, we're gonna bring some of these guys in here.

And we're gonna make them confront their victims face-to-face,

mano a mano, right here on 100% Cotton.

Carnage on our streets. And remember, it could happen to you.

Tomorrow on 100% Cotton,

-road rage. -

L.A. drivers fight back. The news is next on Channel Six

with our exclusive entertainment report

live from tonight's celebrity premiere in Hollywood,

followed by Nighttime Classics…

Oh, shit.

Chris?

Is that you, babe?

Chris, if you're in here, open the door. Okay, honey?

Chris? Come on, baby. Open the door.

- -Chris! Whoa! No, no!

-Jesus! It's me, Chris. - Stay back.

-What are you doing? -Stay back! Stay back!

- - Why?

-Chris, what's going on, babe? -You've gone crazy! That's what!

-Chris, was somebody in the house? - No! Get back!

Okay, okay, okay. Just calm down, okay?

-Why do you wanna kill me? - What are you talking about?

- Why do you wanna kill me? -Give me the club. All right, honey?

-Give me the club. - No!

Give me the club, please.

Christine, get out of the way!

- -

- -Behind you.

- -

Shit!

- - It was a simple game, Cotton.

You should've told me where Sidney was. Now, you lose.

- -

Come on.

-Come on, Cherokee. Come on. -

Come on.

-Come on, Cherokee. -

California Women's Crisis Counseling.

Hey, it's Laura from Monterey, reporting to work.

-Can you patch me in? - Sure. Thanks, Laura.

-Thank you. -

California Women's Crisis Counseling. How can I help you?

Hi. Um, do I have to say my name?

No, you don't have to say anything you don't wanna say.

How can I help?

Um. I-- I'm 18 years old, and I have a boyfriend.

-Sometimes he hits me. -It's okay. You can talk to me, all right?

- Thanks. -

So, in closing, as the future journalists of America,

there is one thing that you need to remember.

Being the best means being willing to do what the others would not.

Break the rules. Stop at nothing.

Be willing to have the world hate you, because that is the only way

that you'll get the story, the facts, and the fame.

- - Thank you.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Yes?

So, you're saying that we should be ready to go out and cut each other's throats

because that's what you did?

- -

Metaphorically, yes.

Well, tell me, Miss Weathers, was it worth it?

I'm so sorry. We're out of time.

Uh, mm. Gale Weathers, anchorwoman for Total Entertainment.

-Thank you very much. -

There is a young man outside who wants to see you.

-He says he's with the police. -The police?

-Detective Mark Kincaid, LAPD. -Hello.

-That's quite an impressive résumé. -Thank you.

I assume you're not here for an autograph.

I'm here because Cotton Weary's been murdered.
