The late afternoon sun is quickly disappearing.

Tatum and Sidney with Kat in-between them
rock on the front porch looking out into the
small town neighborhood.  Dewey's patrol jeep is parked in the
driveway.

Despite loud music, BLARING from an inside stereo, this is a quiet
moment.

Tatum and sidney had a talk and it just got into constant fighting

A long silence as Sidney agonizes over all of this.  She stands up
and moves to the edge of the porch and stares out onto the
neighborhood.

               
                SIDNEY
       " You're right. I'm cracking up. Ignore
        me."

                TATUM
       " Come on, let's rock."

Sid and Kat follow Tatum inside the house never seeing the GHOST MASKED
FIGURE that stands across the street, under a tree.  His presence
so subtle and unobtrusive you'd have to see this movie a second
time to know he was there all along.

Stu is moving along main street when Billy comes barreling up next
to him.

                BILLY
        "How'd you do?"

                STU
        "Piece of cake. She'll be there."

                BILLY
        "Thanks, butt wart. You did "

                STU
        "So you gonna try and make up with Kat?"

                BILLY
       " Duh...that's quick."

                STU
        "I was just asking. Why are you always at
        me?"

                BILLY
       " Because I'm trying to build your self-
        esteem. You're far too sensitive."

                STU
       " Oh...."

Billy thumbs Stu's forehead.

                BILLY
       " You ready to party hard tonight?"

                STU
        "You know it".

They come to a building centrally located in the heart of Main
Street.  A huge, blue monstrosity that's bigger than the local
bank and post office combined. The sign in front reads
BLOCKBUSTER.

Your typical Blockbuster--huge and crowded.  Randy, in his
Blockbuster get up, is busy reshelving returns when Stu appears--
knocking the videos out of his hand.

                STU
       " Jesus, this place is packed."

                RANDY
        "We had a run in the mass murder section."

                STU
      "  You coming tonight?"

                RANDY
       " Yeah, I'm off early--curfew you know
        Now that's poor taste."

                STU
               "What?"

Randy refers to Billy who stands down the aisle talking to TWO
GIRLS.  (The twits from the bathroom perhaps.)

                RANDY
        "If you were the only suspect in a
        senseless bloodbath would you be standing
        in the horror section?"
