Later:

The students sit outside at tables eating lunch or doing other various activities. Six students sit at a fountain. The six sitting there are Sidney, Mason, Tatum, Billy, Randy, and Stu Macher.

Intercom: Remember, your principal loves you, and I want you to be safe. All students are encouraged to return home promptly from school grounds. Avoid strangers, walk in twos and threes.

Tatum: What kinda of questions did they ask you, Sidney?

Sidney: They asked if I knew Casey.

Tatum: They asked me that too.

Mason: They asked me if I like to hunt.

Stu: They asked you that too?

Tatum: Hunt? Why would they ask you if you liked to hunt?

Randy: 'Cause their bodies were gutted.

Billy: Thank you, Randy.

Tatum: They didn't ask me if I like to hunt.

Stu: It's 'cause there's no way a girl could've killed them.

Tatum: That is so sexist. The killer could easily be a female. "Basic instinct".

Randy: That was an ice pick. Not exactly the same thing.

Stu: Yeah. Casey and Steve were completely hollowed out. And the fact is, it takes a man to do something like that.

Tatum: (Shakes her head) Or a man's mentality.

Sidney: How do you... gut someone?

A serious silence fills the group as everyone stares at Sidney. Mason was about to something until Stu speaks up.

Stu: You take a knife max and you slit ''em from groin to sternum.

Sidney shivers right down to her soul. The guys glare at Stu and Mason slaps Stu upside the head.

Mason: Shut up.

Stu: What? She asked!

Billy: (To Stu) It's called tact, you fuck rag.

Sidney: Hey Stu, didn't you used to date Casey?

Stu: Yeah, for like 2 seconds.

Randy: Before she dumped you for Steve.

Tatum: (Surprised) I though you dumped her for me?

Stu: I did. He's full of shit.

Randy: And are the police aware that you dated the victim?

Stu: (Looking defensive) What are you saying? That... that I killed her?

Randy: It would certainly improve your high school "Q".

Tatum: Stu was with me last night, okay?

Stu: Yeah, I was.

Mason: I didn't need to know that.

Randy: Was that before or after he sliced and diced.

Tatum: Fuck you nutcase. Where were you last night?

Randy: Working, thank you. You can even ask your brother, he was working as well.

Mason: That's true.

Tatum: At the video store? (To Randy) I thought they fired your sorry ass.

Randy: Twice.

Stu: (Softly) I didn't kill anybody.

Billy: Nobody said you did.

Stu: (Turns to Billy) Thanks buddy.

Randy: (Stu impression) Besides... it takes a man to do something like that.
