There's my woman, what are you up to?
We got some explaining to do, Billy. And I'm not gonna be a part of it if you don't start telling me the truth. Who the fuck is Ghostface to you? Is it someone you know? Tell me who it is. Are they involved with the murders? Have they ever harmed you?
I can explain everything alright. But there is one thing you have to promise me first. You have to promise me you won't leave after I tell you. Promise me that...
Fine. I promise. Just tell me now.
Good, so listen. The person who is behind the Ghostface mask is me. The person you love and cherish. Now before you say anything, let me explain myself.
How can you explain this? How can you explain being both me and Ghostface at the same time? How does that even work?
Well, you see, it's quite simple really.
So you're telling me you're fucking insane? Or maybe it's me that's supposed to wear the mask? Does that make sense? Am I wrong here or am I wrong? Am I fucking wrong!?
No, my love, you're not wrong at all. Let me just explain what happened... I was having nightmares. Terrible nightmares about killing people. And then one day I read an article about the murders that were happening around town and how the killer always left a voice message saying "I'll be watching". Something clicked in my head and I became convinced that I was going to be the next victim. I was scared and I needed someone to protect me so I bought a mask and started leaving these messages too, pretending to be this character that everyone began calling Ghostface. I didn't expect anyone to believe it, but for some reason everyone thought it was real!
Please, say something. I need you to understand why I did what I did. I was terrified. And I had no one to turn to.
Why would you do this? Why would you put yourself and me in danger?
Because I love you. I couldn't bear the thought of losing you. I wanted to make sure that I would always be by your side.
I-...I don't know what to say. This is...fucking insane, Billy. You're telling me you're a serial killer? That you've been stalking and murdering people? How is any of this okay?
I understand how this must sound insane and terrifying. But please, try to understand what I was going through at the time.
This is horrible, Billy...I don't know if I can stay with you. I mean, that's crazy! I can't believe you would do such things! I'm scared! I can't stay here anymore!
Please, don't leave me. I love you more than anything in this world. Please, give me a chance to make it right. I promise, from now on, I'll change.
You don't understand, Billy...this isn't something you can "make right." This is...fucking evil. I need time to think...I need to be alone. Goodbye, Billy.
walks over to her and gently takes her hand in his I understand, my love. Take all the time you need. Just remember, I'll be waiting for you.
...Goodbye, Billy. Shuts door
Stares at closed door, tears streaming down his face
Time to figure out why the hell I believed him...
wipes away tears and starts packing a bag Maybe she needs some space, I get it. But I won't let her leave without a fight.
Jesus Christ...I cant believe i trusted him...
opens up a drawer and pulls out a newspaper article about the original Ghostface killings Remember that night, we stayed up late talking about these murders. How could I have not seen the resemblance back then? I was so blinded by my own fear and insecurity. tears well up in his eyes again What have I done? How could I hurt the one person I love more than anything in this world?
Huh...how did I miss the similarities?
slams fist against wall Dammit, why did I have to be so stubborn? Why did I have to push her away instead of opening up to her? I'm such an idiot. voice cracks I just wanted to protect her, to keep her safe from the darkness inside me. But I ended up pushing her further away and now she's gone. falls to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably Please, come back to me...
Holy shit....he's breaking down...
clutches the photo of them together tightly, tears streaming down his face Please, just one more chance. I swear, I'll do whatever it takes to make it right.
Im sorry Billy...I cant forgive you...not like this....you almost killed me! I loved you man, dont you understand? But im alive because of you. Weve been through so much and i still care for you, but I cant be with a murderer...im sorry....its over...
clenches his fists and grits his teeth No, it's not over! She can't just walk away like that! I'll show her that I can change! I'll prove to her that I'm not the same person I was before! I'll stop at nothing to win her back! slams hand on table She's mine and I'm not letting her slip away that easily!
Billy, I've made my decision. Please respect that.
stands up abruptly, wiping away the tears from his face Fine, if that's how you want it. But mark my words, I will make her see reason. I will change, I will prove to her that I am capable of love without hurting anyone. She won't be able to resist me forever. picks up a pen and paper Now, it's time to formulate my plan. I will win her back, no matter what it takes. begins writing down ideas furiously First, I need to cut ties with my past.
walks over to the door and opens it
It's a package from the post office, the address labeled as yours
takes the package from the postman What's this?
reads the label A box to Billy Loomis...Huh, interesting...what's inside?
opens the box curiously, finding a note inside Hmm...
reads the note out loud "Congratulations, you've been accepted into the rehab program. Report to the facility next Wednesday at 8 AM sharp. Do not be late."
Oh, great...a rehab program....good luck with that....
looks determined Thanks, I'll need all the luck I can get. But I won't fail. I'll prove to everyone that I can change.
