int. kitchen/living room -- night

The room is dimly lit and a pajama-clad SARAH (22) has sunken down into the sofa, watching a horror movie.

Just as the music crescendos, Sarah's sister Dee (18) suddenly leans down from behind the couch, and puts her face right next to Sarah's.  

Dee

What are we watching?

Sarah jumps, screaming.  Then, seeing it's Dee, catches her breath. 

Sarah

(hitting Dee with a pillow)

God!  Dee!

Dee laughs and leans in, engrossed with the movie, blindly reaching into Sarah's snack bowl.

Sarah (cont'd)

Did you clean the bathroom?

Dee

Is this the part where he guts her? 

Sarah eyes Dee. 

Dee (cont'd)

(noticing the glare)

Housesitting is supposed to be fun, killjoy.  (happily holding up a pretzel)  Have a pretzel.

Sarah is stoic.  Dee playfully pushes the pretzel to Sarah's mouth as Sarah clamps her lips closed and tries to push away.

Dee (CONT'D)

Eat it!  (struggling)  EAT IT!!!

The struggle ends in Sarah and Dee laughing and Dee getting smacked with a pillow again.

INT. BEDROOM -- NIGHT

Dee screams louder as the Intruder stabs her sister in the leg over and over.

Dee

NO!!  You bastard!  YOU'RE DEAD!  YOU HEAR ME?!!  DEAD!!  I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF!!!

The Intruder rushes to Dee and puts his knife to her throat.  Dee gasps, trying her hardest to hold back tears.

INTRUDER

(sinister)

You know, you're a pretty little thing.  I bet your insides are pretty too.

Sarah moans and fights to keep her eyes open, but cannot. 

Dee (CONT'D)

(crying)

Sarah...

INTRUDER

Aw...she's sleeping.

Dee

(looks boldly at Intruder)

Go to Hell.
