Scream 3

The Burden of Blame in Filmmaking

Roman Bridger Not only did they-did they kill the film, but they killed my cast. Now, nobody's gonna work with me. Variety called me a "pariah". I don't even know what a "pariah" is. Why-why couldn't somebody have killed the cast of Stab 1, huh? Or Stab 2? Why me? What, John? What did we do wrong?

Scream 3

Confrontation of Past Traumas and Accountability

Sidney Prescott Fine, you got what you wanted: hero and villain face-to-face. Well, you know what happens now? The villain dies!

Roman Bridger Exactly! But I'm not the villain, Sid. You are. Here he is, the man who gave away your mother's innocence. Huh? What he did to her made her a slut, didn't it? Huh? She never recovered from that night, right here in this room. They fucked her three ways from Sunday, ruined her life. Ruined yours, too, didn't it, Sid? You hate him, Sid? Come on, I know you do. I'm sure you do.

[Brings out a captured John Milton]

Sidney Prescott I know who you are. I know what happened to my mother, and I want you to understand, I'm gonna make you pay!

Roman Bridger That's what the police are gonna find on Milton's answering machine, right next to his lifeless, mutilated corpse. What? Can't hear ya.

[John mumbles]

John Milton You don't have to do this, Roman. Just tell me what you want. I can make it happen. Any picture. Name your budget. Script approval. Final cut!

[hurriedly; Roman chuckles in amusement and annoyance]

Roman Bridger I already have it.

Sidney Prescott No! God! You spineless bastard!

Roman Bridger No, Sid, that would be you! You did it all. You did it! You killed them all, even your closest...friends. Living in total isolation, the pressure of another movie about you, the discovery that Milton destroyed Mommy dearest, you finally just SNAPPED! And who's our hero, huh? The sole survivor. Who's the one who bravely faced down the psychopath and killed her with her own knife?! You're gonna pay for the life you stole from me, Sid. For the mother, and for the family, and for the stardom, and... GODDAMN IT! EVERYTHING YOU HAVE THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN MINE!

[Starts having a breakdown]

Sidney Prescott God, why don't stop your whining and get on with it? I've heard this shit before!

[annoyed]

Roman Bridger STOP!

[struggling not to hear Sidney's words]

Sidney Prescott Do you know why you kill people, Roman? Do you?

Roman Bridger I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!

[pleading]

Sidney Prescott BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE TO! There is no one else to blame!

Roman Bridger GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!

[smacks himself in the face]

Sidney Prescott Why don't you take some FUCKING responsibility?!

Roman Bridger FUCK YOU!!!

[finally snaps and charges at Sidney]

Sidney Prescott FUCK YOU!

[shocked]

Roman Bridger Mother's dead. And there's nothing you can do about that. I still got to make my movie.

[chuckles painfully]

Sidney Prescott Stab 3, right?

[completely unfazed at Roman's words]

Gale Weathers Roman? It was Roman?!

Deputy Dewey Riley Be careful, Sid. Randy said the killer's always superhuman.

Sidney Prescott Yeah, well, he wasn't superhuman, Dewey. He wasn't superhuman at all.

Roman Bridger Fuck! You can't fucking kill me!!

Sidney Prescott Head! Head! HEAD, DEWEY!

Deputy Dewey Riley What?!

[turns to Sidney.]

Sidney Prescott HEAD! Shoot him in the head!

Deputy Dewey Riley Thanks.

Discussing Character Development in Scream 3

Sarah Director's office.

Roman Bridger Sarah, it's Roman. I'm sorry I'm running late. I'm still on the 405. I'm about 10 minutes away.

Sarah Oh, it's no problem. I'm just looking at your music video awards.

Roman Bridger Uh, look, since I got you on the phone, let's talk about your character, okay?

Sarah What character? I'm Candy, the chick who gets killed second. I'm only in two scenes.

Roman Bridger You're not happy with your part.

Sarah I'm not happy that I am 35 playing a 21 year-old. I'm not happy that I have to die naked. And I'm not happy that my character is too stupid to have a gun in the house after her boyfriend's been cut into fish sticks.

Roman Bridger Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Great, okay. So let's run the lines.

Sarah Fine.

Roman Bridger Page 28. Candy's big moment.

Sarah Page 28. "Ring-ring. Hello?

Roman Bridger Hello?

Sarah Who's this?

Roman Bridger Who's this?

Sarah This is Candy. Hang on, let me get some clothes." See? I don't understand why I have to start the scene in the shower. The whole shower thing's been done. Vertigo. Hello? And I mean, my boyfriend just died. Why am I showering?

Roman Bridger Why don't we just read the scene? "Candy. Nice name. Is that like Candy Cane or Candy Apple?

[sighs]

Sarah Whatever. "Come on, who is this? I think you have the wrong number.

Roman Bridger But you know my favorite name?

Sarah I'm hanging up right now.

Roman Bridger It's Sarah.

Sarah Roman, that's not the line.

[confused]

Roman Bridger It is in my script.

Sarah Has there been another goddamn rewrite? How the fuck are we supposed to learn our lines when there's a new script every 15 minutes?

Roman Bridger It's not just a new script. It's a new movie.

Sarah What? What movie?

Roman Bridger My movie.

Phone Voice And it's called "Sarah Gets Skewered Like a Fucking Pig"! Still in character, Sarah?

[Sarah's eyes widen]

Scream 3

A Son's Search for Maternal Connection

Roman Bridger I searched for a mother, too. An actress named Rena Reynolds. Tried to find her my whole life. And four years ago, I actually tracked her down, knocked at her door thinking she'd welcome me with open arms, but she had a new life and a new name: Maureen Prescott. You were the only child she claimed, Sidney. She shut me out in the cold forever, her own son...Roman Bridger, director. (in Ghostface's voice) And brother.

Scream 3

Confronting the Past and Unseen Truths

Maureen Sid... Sid... come in here... please. It's just me, Sid. Oh, I was so pretty. Everybody loved me. Have you missed me, Sidney? Would you like to hold me one last time? What's the matter? What are you staring at? Don't you remember your-

Phone Voice Mother?

Ghostface You're not going anywhere, Sidney. It's time you came to terms with me and with Mother. Maybe you never knew her at all, Sidney. Maybe you just can't get past the surface of things.

[speaking in the Phone Voice; Reveals his bulletproof vest]

Sidney Prescott Who the hell are you?

Ghostface The other half of you. I searched for a mother, too, an actress named Rina Reynolds, tried to find her my whole life. And four years ago, I actually tracked her down, knocked at her door, thinking she'd welcome me with open arms. But she had a new life and a new name: Maureen Prescott! You were the only child she claimed, Sidney. She shut me out in the cold forever! Her own son.

Roman Bridger Roman Bridger, director.

[Uses voice changer]

Roman Bridger/Phone Voice And brother.

Roman Bridger She slammed the door in my face, Sid. She said I was "Rina's" child and Rina was dead... and then it struck me. What a good idea. So I watched her. I made a little movie, a little family film. Seems Maureen -"Mom"- she really got around. I mean, Cotton was one thing; everybody knew about that. But Billy's father - that was the key. Your boyfriend didn't like seeing his daddy in my film too much. He didn't like it at all. And once I supplied the motivation, all the kid needed was a few pointers. Have a partner to sell out in case you got caught, find someone to frame, it was like he was making a movie.

Sidney Prescott You. This is all because of you.

Roman Bridger I'm a director, Sidney. I direct.

Sidney Prescott Oh.

[softly and sarcastically; raising an eyebrow]

Roman Bridger I had no idea they were gonna make a film of their own. What a film it turned out to be, huh? I mean, introducing Sidney the Victim, Sidney the Survivor, SIDNEY THE STAR!
