Scream 7 Script (FAN MADE)

Catch Up

Location: New York City/Pharmacy/Apartment

Sam waits in line at a pharmacy counter. Faint Christmas music can be heard in the background. She is there to pick up some prescriptions.

Pharmacist: Hello mam. What's your prescriptions number?

Sam: 97.

Pharmacist: Okay, give me just one moment.

The pharmacist walks away. As Sam looks to her left, she sees a young child staring at her. Sam smiles and the child smiles back at her.

Pharmacist: Here you go miss. Merry Christmas.

Sam: Thanks, you too.

Sam walks away out into the rest of the quiet pharmacy. Outside, a blanket if snow covers the mostly empty New York City streets. A gentle snowfall descends from the sky. Sam walks back to her apartment where she is staying with Tara,Mindy and Chad. Sam enters her dull building and goes to check her mailbox.

Sam: Great. Another overdue bill.

Sam enters her apartment and finds Mindy on the couch watching a movie.

Mindy: Oh my gosh, Sam you just missed the best parts of the movie!

Sam: Aw really? That sucks.

Mindy: Yeah, but not as much as the overdue bill in your hand.

Sam: Wait how di...

Mindy: I can see the red past due stamp from over here Sam.

Sam: I swear. I'm gonna drown in these bills. Where's Chad and Tara?

Mindy: Probably in Chad's room exchanging the finest of their saliva.

Sam chuckles and goes to the bedroom and knocks on the door.

Sam: Hey love birds! I got your prescriptions out here!

The muffled voice of Tara responds "okay".

Sam walks over to the thermostat, feeling cold. Sam however, hesitates turning it on due to the groups collective financial situation.

Chad and Tara exit the bedroom.

Tara: Hey Sam, how was your trip to the pharmacy?

Sam: It was fine. Cold really. Hey Chad, how have you been?

Chad: Doing better everyday. Everyone knows you can't keep me down.

Tara giggles.

Sam shuffles through the pharmacy bag.

Sam: Well that's great. Here are your meds, and Tara, here is your inhaler.

Sam hands Chad his medication and Tara her new inhaler.

Sam: Okay. Now who's going to help me set up this Christmas tree?

Mindy: I'll do it!

Sam and Mindy get to setting the Christmas tree. Chad and Tara follow too.

Sam's phone begins to buzz on a nearby table.

Tara: Sam, your phone is going off.

Sam: Is it Danny? He said he was going to call me after work.

Tara: I don't think it's Danny.

Sam walks over the table and picks up her phone. It reads "Unknown Number". Sam hesitates picking up the call. She eventually answers.

Sam: Hello?

A familiar voice answers back.

Cristina: Samantha? Samantha is this you?

Sam stands in disbelief at the voice she is hearing. She recognizes it. It is her mother! Sam quickly walks into the hall, away from the others.

Sam: Why are you calling?

Cristina: Look, I saw what happened to you and Tara on the news and I'm worried about you girls.

Sam: Oh, so now you decide to care?

Cristina: Please Samantha, I'm not calling to be a bitch alright? I'm just calling to apologize for how I've been these past few years. And so we can maybe meet up and talk.

Sam: Meet? Why, where are you?

Cristina: I'm in New York City. Isn't that where you and Tara are?

Sam: Yeah. We're here. And fine, where do you want to meet at?

Cristina: At the Morning Bean Cafe in like.....fifteen minutes.

Sam: Okay. Should I bring Tara?

Cristina: No. I don't think I can face her just yet Sam.

Sam: Alright, I'll go alone. See you then.

Sam hangs up the call, still in a little disbelief of what had just happened. Sam goes to join the others.

Chad: Jeez. There you are Sam. Did you get stuck talking to customer service or something?

Sam: Umm no, not exactly. Tell you guys what. I'm going to go run some errands. I'll be right back okay? Keep setting up the tree.

Tara, Mindy and Chad look at each other, a little confused. Sam then leaves the apartment.
