Barry: We made a pact and we're keeping it.
Ray: So that's him huh? Hard to believe that's the guy.
Barry: Yeah, his face isn't splattered all over the road, dumbass.
Julie: [after discovering the killer has removed Max's body from her trunk] No... don't... don't even! He was there, goddamn it, and he was wearing your jacket, Barry!
Helen: [Approaching Missy Egan's House] What if they're waiting for us? What if they recognize us? They could have a gun and shoot us dead.
Julie: It's been a year, Helen, they could have done that already.
Helen: Jodie Foster tried this and the skin-ripping serial killer answered the door.
[Julie knocks on the front door
twice, but with no answer]
Helen: Well, it was a good try.
[Julie walks away, going around to the side of the house, with Helen becoming more nervous; Julie climbs onto some logs to peek into the side window]
Helen: We're adding Breaking and Entering to our crime spree?
Melissa Egan: [Missy Egan approaches the girls]
Can I help you?
Julie: Oh, um... Hi.
[laughs]
Julie: Uh, our car stalled down the road and we were just wondering if. maybe, we could use your phone?
Melissa Egan: [Entering Missy's living room] Phone's over there.
Julie: Oh, thanks. Um... Jodie... would you call Triple A?
Helen: You got it... Angela.
[They all smile; as Helen turns to use the phone, she bumps into fisherman's slicker, startling her; she and Julie laugh it off, as Helen goes over to the phone and makes her phone call]
Melissa Egan: [to Julie] My name's Missy Egan. Are you girls from Erbelle?
Julie: Uh, Southport.
Melissa Egan: Oh, oh, I went to Southport High.
Julie: Yeah, I, I knew you looked familiar. What, what year?
Melissa Egan: Uh, Class of '88.
Julie: Your name, Egan, sounds very familiar. Did you have a, a brother or something?
Melissa Egan: I did, but he was younger than me: David.
Younger.
Julie: What class was he?
Melissa Egan: Ah, '92, but he's dead. He died last July.
Julie: I'm... I'm so sorry.
Melissa Egan: Thanks.
[She starts to walk towards the kitchen]
Julie: Do... do you, ah, do you live alone?
Melissa Egan: [She
stops, laughs, then answers Julie's question] Yeah, I do. Ah, well, my Dad died a long time ago and my, my, Ma, she's in a home, you know, in Aurora because she didn't take too, too well what happened with David. Things just haven't been the same since he died.
Helen: [Helen comes back into the room] They're on their way.
Melissa Egan: I could, uh,
uh, make you guys a cup of tea while you're waiting.
Helen: Thanks.
Julie: Yeah, thanks, that's, that's nice of you.
Helen: [Missy goes into her kitchen to start making a pot of tea, as Julie and Helen look at the pictures] You know, I think I remember David. He had a friend, right, what was his name?
Melissa
Egan: [From the kitchen] Who?
Helen: Didn't he hang out with this guy? And they were really close. God, what was his name? Um...?
Melissa Egan: [Coming back into the living room] Oh, I, I don't know I didn't, I didn't know too many of David's friends.
Helen: Oh.
Melissa Egan: But there, there
was one guy. One guy, he, he, he stopped by not too long after David's death and and, he came to pay his respects.
Julie: Really?
Melissa Egan: Oh, yeah. He... was a really nice guy, he was cute and smart. We were, we were... sweet on each other for about 2 minutes. But it didn't, it didn't work out. You know, he didn't... he never really said it,
but I think it hurt him to be around me.
Helen: Where is his old friend now?
Melissa Egan: Oh, I... I don't know.
Helen: Do you remember his name?
Melissa Egan: Billy.
Helen: Did he have a last name?
Melissa Egan: Blue. Billy Blue.
Julie: Well, you know what? Um... we should probably wait back at the car.
Melissa Egan: Don't, don't be ridiculous. Why don't you, ah, stay?
Julie: No, I, I, I don't, I don't want to miss Triple A.
Helen: We appreciate the phone.
Melissa Egan: [as Julie and Helen leave the house] Anytime. You know, I, I don't get too many knocks on my door now 'days.
Helen:
[In Julie's car] You okay?
Julie: I freaked out, I'm sorry. But being in his house and seeing his sister. God, do you see what we've done?
Helen: It was an accident.
Julie: Helen, we killed a man and then ruined the lives of everyone he knew.
Helen: I don't think we're that powerful, Julie. You're
giving us way too much credit.
Melissa Egan: [Missy jumps up on the Julie's side of the car, trying to catch up with them, startling both Helen and Julie] HEY! You forgot cigarettes.
[She hands them to Julie, who hands them over to Helen]
Julie: Thank you.
Melissa Egan: Well, I see you got this car started, didn't ya?
Julie: Yeah. Damnedest thing, it just started right up.
Melissa Egan: Funny how that happens.
[They drive off, while Missy begins to look suspicious of them]
Julie: [while visiting Missy a second time, they continue to discuss Missy's brother's suicide, as Missy is filleting fish] I need to find your brother's friend, Billy Blue. I need to talk to him, thinking maybe you could look through this yearbook, that way-...
Melissa Egan: [a little impatient] What's, what's this all about?
Julie:
Well, it's too crazy to explain, but it has to do with your brother and last July 4th.
Melissa Egan: [Still impatient] What about it?
Julie: What happened to your brother wasn't an accident, there's more to it than that.
Melissa Egan: I know.
Julie: You know what?
Melissa Egan:
It's why he killed himself.
Julie: He what?
Melissa Egan: Yeah. He, he went up there to die that night. That's where she died. See, the whole town blamed him for her death.
Julie: How do you know it was a suicide?
Melissa Egan: He left a note.
[She puts down her knife and walks over to a shed to
retrieve the suicide note to show Julie]
Melissa Egan: I had to keep this from the insurance company because they wouldn't pay me the money if they found out it was a suicide.
[She comes out of the shed with the note]
Melissa Egan: The money's already been spent.
[She hands Julie the note which reads, "I will never forget last Summer"]
Julie: This isn't a suicide note. This is a death threat.
Melissa Egan: What are you... what are you talking about?
Julie: Your brother didn't kill himself. I saw him, I was there and whoever sent this was there, too.
Melissa Egan: What do you mean you saw him? Where? Where did you see him?
Julie: Crossing the road, we hit him. It was an accident.
Melissa Egan: NO!
[She snatches the note back from Julie]
Melissa Egan: My brother drowned!
Julie: I saw him. He had Susie tattooed on his arm.
Melissa Egan: Tattoo? He doesn't have a tattoo!
Julie:
I saw it on his arm-...
Melissa Egan: YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING! GET OUTTA HERE!
[No response]
Melissa Egan: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!
[She goes back into the shed, glaring at Julie]
Julie: [Realizing David Egan was not the one she and her friends hit that night] Oh, my God. It wasn't your brother.
