High School Morning

INT HIGH SCHOOL STORE ROOM MORNING

JOSH rushes into the room. He is holding a pistol. He is

wearing a ski mask or sticking over his face. He removes it.

Josh is also wearing surgical gloves. He does not remove

those. He is breathing very hard, almost panting. RICK

comes in after, removing his ski mask or facial disguise.

Rick is also holding a pistol, but he is not wearing surgocal

gloves. He shuts the door behind him. We hear screams and

cries. At some point we may hear sirens and other noises to

heighten the urgency.

RICK

Oh man. Oh man. That was totally

awesome. Did you see Mrs. Newman's

face? Fucking priceless.

JOSH

What do we do now?

RICK

I counted fifteen. You?

JOSH

I wasn't keeping count, Rick.

RICK

How many did you do?

JOSH

Shit, man...we can't just stay in

here.

RICK

How many, Josh? We had a quota.

Did we reach it?

JOSH

I don't know. Six, seven.

RICK

Judy Moore was cursing me out. The

fucking bitch had the balls to be

cursing me out after I shot her.

Can you believe it? So I shot her

in the face. Oh man, it was

beautiful.

JOSH

You said...you said no girls, Rick.

RICK

Yeah, well I didn't shoot Angela

Morgan.

Why was she lying on the ground in

a pool of blood? That wasn't me.

JOSH

I don't know.

RICK

It was you, man.

JOSH

No. I didn't...

RICK

Collateral damage.

JOSH

We have to stick with the plan.

RICK

Fuck the plan. I want to go back

out there. Mrs. Broman locked

herself in the bathroom with like

ten girls. We shoot the lock out

and do them all in the bathroom.

I've changed my mind about the

girls. We kill every last one of

them.

JOSH

Jesus fuck...now you want to kill

the...this is fucked. The plan.

The goddamn plan. We have to stick

with the plan. This was payback.

Just payback. Not a suicide

mission. We disappear. As

planned.

RICK

Disappear? No one disappears

anymore. You really think we are

going to get out of here and

escape. There's no fucking escape,

Josh. We either turn ourselves in

or we go out blazing, shooting

anybody in our way and whatever

happens happens.

Josh starts for the door. Rick holds up his gun, pointing it

at Josh.

RICK (CONT'D)

Where you going?

JOSH

The tunnel.

RICK

You are such a fucking idiot. They

already closed off the tunnel. In

fact, that is probably the way

their coming in right now. Through

the tunnel. Go down into the

tunnel and you are a dead man.

JOSH

Three months of planning all for

what? You don't have to plan a

fucking thing to shoot up the high

school, killing girls in bathrooms.

That's fucking easy, man. The

planning was so we could escape.

RICK

You don't get it, do you.

JOSH

Where are your gloves? You are not

wearing gloves.

RICK

That's because I want them to know

its me. I want them to know that

Richard Drew Fox made the biggest

fucking contribution to his high

school. Heah man, you think I'll

make the year book? Most likely to

make a difference.

There is a moment of silence between Rick and Josh, but the

noises from outside are starting to rise, mostly sirens.

Josh then takes his gun, points it toward his own belly and

shoots himself. This startles Rick. Josh falls to the

floor. He is hurt, but remains alert. He throws the pistol

along the floor toward Rick. He then removes the surgical

gloves and also throws them at Rick.

JOSH

I'm just one of your victims.

They'll never know.

RICK

It won't work.

JOSH

I'll take the chance.

Rick picks up Josh's gun.

RICK

See you in hell, man.

JOSH

Yeah. Sure.

Rick leaves. There are screams and lots of gunfire.

FADE TO BLACK.

THE END.
