Murder8-2

      (Over at the slide, the Spooky 7 are huddled together discussing their game plan for tonight.)

SpookyKid- You guys ready for tonight?

Spooky 7- (all together) We're ready.

SpookyKid- You all know the plan?

Dawn Wiener- By heart.

SpookyKid- All right, then. Just remember, when N'SYNC starts singing "Digital Get Down" that's when we make our move. And hands off Justin Timberlake. He's mine!

Exena- Ok, but I get Lance. his bug eyes are so pretty.

Kelly9- I can't wait! This is going to be so much fun!!

     (Back over at the swing set, The Girl Gang are still discussing Suz's lack of a date.)

SweetOne- The whole world must be coming to an end of Suz can't get a date.

Suzanne- I'll get one, don't worry. I'll say yes to the first person to ask me.

Ms.Sass- That could be scary.

Ms.Biyach- Look over there! Look who's coming!

      (The girls turn to find TheDeuce approaching them. TheDeuce looks fine. He's wearing a navy blue suit, white shirt, and a matching tie. He holds a single red rose in his right hand.)

TheDeuce- Hello, girls. How are you doing today?

Ms.Sass- What's it to you, Taint?

Ms.Biyach- Yeah.

TheDeuce- Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not a Taint anymore. They're too rough for my taste.

Meep- Yeah, yeah... that's what you say. But I'm not buying it. you only quit the gang to keep form getting expelled from school. All this "goody two shoes" business is an act.

Sugaree- I agree. Once a thug, always a thug.

TheDeuce- I wish you girls would believe me. I'm a good witch, not a bad witch.

SweetOne- Cute.

Suzanne- so, what do you want Deuce? Looking for a new gang? Well, you can't join us.

TheDeuce- Actually, I'm looking for a date to the dance tonight.

SweetOne- Well, I'm sorry Deucie, but I already have a date.

TheDeuce- (holds the rose out to Suz) I was hoping maybe Suzanne would go to the dance with me.

     (The girls burst into laughter. Suzanne looks utterly shocked.)

Meep- You're asking Suz out? (laughs) Ain't that a riot!

TheDeuce- I'm being serious.....

Suzanne- Deuce, I just don't think that it would be a good idea....

TheDeuce- I promise to be a proper gentleman. I'll have you home at a decent hour.

Suzanne- Deuce, I just don't......

      (Ms. Sass leans over Suzanne's shoulder)

Ms.Sass- (whispering to Suz) I thought you'd said you'd go to the dance with the first person to ask.

Suzanne- (whispering) I did, but.....

Ms.Sass- No, buts. This may be your only chance to score a date. Say yes.

Suzanne- But it's TheDeuce......

Ms.Sass- So. You two will be the talk of the dance. You'd probably win Queen of the Dance.

Suzanne- (to TheDeuce) Ok. Ok. I'll go to the dance with you. (takes the rose)

TheDeuce- Thank you! Thank you, so much, Suzanne. you won't regret this.

Suzanne- I hope not.

TheDeuce- Pick you up at seven?

Suzanne- That's fine.

TheDeuce- Ok. See you then. Bye, bye girls!

      (TheDeuce hurries off. The girls burst into laughter once more.)

Meep- Sleeping with the enemy, huh Suz?

Suzanne- I'm not sleeping with him!

Meep- Uh-huh. Wait til after the dance.

Suzanne- Meep!

SweetOne- Well, just be careful, Suz. I don't trust him.

Suzanne- Me either.

Int. Clot's bedroom - afternoon
     (Clot sits at his desk. In front of him is several screwdrivers, electrical tape, a wind up alarm clock, several bunches of colored wire, and several sticks of dynamite. He is making a bomb.)

Clot- (talking to himself) My gang dumps me. My school dumps me. Then my girl dumps me. They think they can get rid of me by ignoring me. Ha! I'll show them. I'll show them all. I'll make sure they never forget my name. They'll wish that they had never met me. BOOM! (laughs hysterically) Boogie, oogie, oogie, BOOM! HA!
