ON A RINGING TELEPHONE.

A hand reaches for it, bringing the receiver up to the face of

Chelsea, a young girl, no more than sixteen.  A friendly face
with innocent eyes.

Chelsea: Hello.

Girl's Voice: (from phone) Hello.

Silence.

Chelsea: Yes.

Girl: Who is this?

Chelsea: Who are you trying to reach?

Girl: What number is this?

Chelsea: What number are you trying to reach?

Girl: I don't know.

Chelsea: I think you have the wrong number.

Girl: Do I?

Chelsea: It happens. Take it easy.

She hangs up the phone. To reveal
Chelsea in a living room, alone.  She moves from the living room to
the kitchen. It's a nice house.  Affluent.

The phone RINGS again.

INT.  KITCHEN

Chelsea grabs the portable.

Chelsea: Hello.

Girl: I'm sorry. I guess I dialed the wrong number.

Chelsea: So why did you dial it again?

Girl: To apologize.

Chelsea: You're forgiven. Bye now.

Girl: Wait, wait, don't hang up.

Chelsea stands in front of a sliding glass door. It's pitch black outside.

Chelsea: What?

Girl: I want to talk to you for a second.

Chelsea: They've got 900 numbers for that. Seeya.

Chelsea hangs up.  A grin on her face.

EXT.  CASEY'S HOUSE - NIGHT - ESTABLISHING

A big country home with a huge sprawling lawn full of big oak
trees.  It sits alone with no neighbors in sight.

The phone RINGS again.

INT.  KITCHEN

Popcorn sizzles in a pot on the stove.  Casey covers it with a lid, reaching for the portable phone.

Chelsea: Hello.

Girl: Why don't you want to talk to me?

Chelsea: Who is this?

Girl: You tell me your name, I'll tell you mine.

Chelsea: (shaking the popcorn) I don't think so.

Girl: What's that noise?

Chelsea smiles, playing along, innocently.

Chelsea: Popcorn.

Girl: You're making popcorn?

Chelsea: Uh-huh.

Girl: I only eat popcorn at the movies.

Chelsea: I'm getting ready to watch a video.

Girl: Really? What?

Chelsea: Just some Comedy movie.

Girl: Do you like Comedy movies?

Chelsea: Uh-huh.

Girl: What's your favorite Comedy movie?

What's your favorite scary movie?
