INT.

RON'S CAR - NIGHT

Ron (20s, male, jock), a toned football player, sits in the

reclined driver's seat, shirtless. Anita (20s, female,
cheerleader), his girlfriend, sits at the base of his waist,
with her body facing him and her head tilted upward. It is
implied that they are having intercourse via stifled groans.
The radio plays a romantic jazzy song as they go at it. All
of a sudden, the moans come to a stop and Anita turns the
radio down.

ANITA
(annoyed)
Really, babe? Only 30 seconds? We've
talked about this!

Ron lay motionless with his eyes closed. Anita realizes Ron's
lack of response and scours for signs of life by thumping her
hand upon his chest.

ANITA
(freaking out)
Babe? Hello?

Ron continues to stay motionless for a few more seconds until

he suddenly opens his eyes and starts to laugh.

RON
Haha! You fell for it!

Anita slaps Ron across the face.

ANITA
(angered)
Dumbass! You scared me!

We see Ron continue to laugh until all of a sudden a pair of

hands dressed in black gloves creep out from the back of
Ron's seat, adjacent to sides of Ron's face. One hand holds a
small, sharp knife. The hand proceeds to seamlessly slit
Ron's throat, prompting him to dramatically bleed out and gag
until quickly dying in front of Anita.

Anita screams bloody murder. Upbeat rock/pop music starts to

play. The camera is now from the killer's point of view. The
killer proceeds to gouge their knife into Anita's chest to
the beat of the song, causing blood to profusely gush out. A
slosh of her blood lands on the window of the car, dripping
down to spell out the title of the film.

INT. NEWS ROOM - DAY

We cut to a News broadcast. Jim (adult, male, news anchor)

and Darla (adult, female, news anchor), sit next to each
other on a brightly covered news table. The broadcast shows
bloody images and clips of Ron and Anita's murders.

NEWS ANCHOR JIM

-and that's just the latest of the
slew of murders encroaching on Eros
County. The Philomisiac, as the media
has come to call them, has been
strictly targeting couples.

NEWS ANCHOR DARLA

That's right, Jim. The Philomisiac has
killed 12 victims in the past month,
each found dead aside their lover.
This carnage has struck fear into the
hearts of lovers in the city, leading
to a shortage in dating and PDA. We
have Reporter Nico Reyes at Eros
County College, the scene of last
night's atrocities. Nico?

CUT TO:

Nico Reyes (30s, male, news reporter), dressed in a buttoned

up shirt and tie, is standing and facing the camera at the
Eros County College parking lot with a deadpan expression.

NICO
Yes, Darla, here (signals) is where
the car that 22 and 21 year-old Ron
Chee and Anita Dickenson were brutally
murdered. They were coming (short
pause) back home from a date, when
they were ambushed by The Philomisiac.
I talked to some of the College's
students to see how they're feeling
and coping with The Philomisiac still
at large.

CUT TO:

A compilation of students' responses is shown including Betty

Humpter (20s, female, sorority girl), Clee Torres (20s,
female, goth), Willie B. Harrison (20s, male, gay). Each clip
is a MCU of the students with Nico holding his mic up to each

student's face. The News displays each student's name as the

clip cuts to them.

BETTY HUMPTER
As soon as I heard this freak was
going after couples, I broke up with
my boyfriend. It actually worked out
pretty well...turns out I'm gay!

CLEE TORRES
(unbothered)
I mean I'm single so I'm not really
worried for my life, but how are we
still forced to go to class when
there's a killer on the loose?
Like...(makes circular motions with
hands) make it make sense.

Nico quickly pulls his mic away from Willie.

NICO
There you have it folks!

NEWS ANCHOR DARLA

There you have it. Not only is The
Philomisiac attacking the city, but
their calling for a war on love.

Dramatic pause. The camera zooms in on Darla's face as she

glares at it intensely.

The camera quickly pans to Jim.

NEWS ANCHOR JIM

(gleefully) And next, puppies!

INT. DORM ROOM - DAY

Jay (20s, male, twink) and Leslie (20s, female, tom-boy) sit
in a big bean bag chair closely together; their legs are

crossed over each other. Jay, an emotional twink, cries in

Leslie's arms as she strokes his head; it's very much
platonic as she is a lesbian. They're best friends and both
single. Heather Oh (20s, female, basic), their heterosexual
roommate, sits at her desk close to them while typing on her
laptop.

HEATHER
(sighs)
Serves them right. What're they doing
hooking up in public when there's
literally a bloodthirsty anti-cupid on
the loose?

JAY
(sobbing)
How can you say that? It's not their
fault!

LESLIE
Heather, don't be insensitive. You
know Jay's been eye-fucking Ron since
high school.

HEATHER
I'm just saying, they were basically
asking for it.

JAY
(angry)
Shut up, Heather! (stutters) We- we
have to do something.

HEATHER
Like what? Band together like the
Scooby Doo gang and unmask them?

Leslie makes a duck face, raises an eyebrow, and turns to

Jay.

LESLIE
You know...yeah. Let's clip anti-
Cupid's wings.

The camera pans leftward, passing a dark barrier and

eventually reveals a short time jump in which the three
roommates are now walking across the college campus.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS - DAY

HEATHER
You can't be serious.

LESLIE
Yes, yes. Trust. Look. Jay and I will
pretend we're on a date. You hide
somewhere close and make sure nothing
sus happens. If you see anyone, and I
mean anyone
______, come near us or hold any
type of weapon-

Jay hops and makes a 180-degree turn mid-air to face the

girls behind him.

JAY
You jump that fucker and pummel him to
the ground!

The girls stop in their tracks.

LESLIE
No! You text or call us immediately
___________
and we get the fuck out of there while
you take pictures of them. Then we can
follow him and find out if they're The
Philomisiac.

The three roommates continue to walk in the direction they

were headed with Jay walking backwards in front of the girls
so he can continue facing them as they converse.

HEATHER
Okay...but who in their right mind is
gonna believe that you two are dating?
I mean...Jay's not the most straight-
acting guy-

They turn a corner.

JAY
(offended)
Hey! I can be masculi-

Suddenly, Jay dramatically slips. The majority of his body

rises to the air as he falls backward (in slow motion) with
his right foot facing the sky, kicking a splatter of blood
onto Leslie and Heather's faces. As he lands, we see an

 6.

aerial shot of him hitting the ground that is noticeably

coated crimson with blood. He screams looking up at the
ceiling.

Jay quickly struggles to pick himself up.

CAMERA starts spinning to show everyone's reactions as they

look upward. The speed of the camera increases pace while
spinning.

JAY HEATHER
EW EW EW EW EW EW EW! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY G-

LESLIE
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

CAMERA spinning stops.

Leslie gathers herself.

JAY
What're we supposed to do now? Call
the cops? Help them down?

LESLIE
(anxious)
Help them? They're dead! I say we book
it. The cops'll think we did this!

HEATHER
(sobbing)
Is that- Is that- Is that- Is that-

While Jay and Leslie hasten to leave, Heather stays frozen,

still facing the bodies. She can't move. Her ex boyfriend was
just murdered.

Leslie runs back to get Heather. She reaches her and rubs her
arm to snap her out of her shock in a comforting way.

LESLIE
Love. Love, we need to go...

CU of Heather looking up in disbelief.

LESLIE
We're gonna find who did this. But we
need to go now.

The two reluctantly leave. Jay is in the background beckoning

them to follow.

CAMERA pans upward, revealing a teenage couple (two guys)

strapped to the wall in duct tape. They are motionless,
bloody, and their limbs are spread outward. There is a
considerable gap in between them that was reserved for the
words "FUCK LOVE" spelled out in their blood.

The last shot is of Joey (20s, male, Heather's ex). Camera

fades into next scene with Joey's face in the same position.

EXT. HEATHER'S HOUSE - DAY

FLASHBACK

Sad music plays in the background. Everything is in slower

motion.

Joey is looking downward, shaking his head in shame. Heather

is standing outside her front door with a box of Joey's junk
in her hands. She aggressively shoves the box into Joey's
hands. Joey is taken aback.

CU of Heather mouthing the words "FUCK YOU!"

Joey steps back and walks to his car. Once he walks into the
driver's seat, we pan to see a guy in the passenger's seat.
He was the guy next to him, dead.

EXT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT

CAMERA pans across the under parts of the tables to show an

array of couple's legs and feet sitting still - some even
playing footsie. We eventually reach Jay and Leslie's table.
Jay's legs are crossed. Leslie kicks his feet to try and
uncross them.

LESLIE
Stop crossing your legs!

CAMERA pans upward to reveal Leslie and Jay are sitting at a

table, outside a restaurant. Jay has his head resting on his
knuckles. A basket of fries sits at the center of the table
in between them.

Leslie keeps kicking until she successfully uncrosses Jay's

feet. Jay stumbles, causing his arm to sling outward and his
chin to bounce.

JAY
Bitch! Ugh, okay...How do we do this?
Do I hold your hand?

Jay holds Leslie's limp hand up, not knowing how to grab it.

LESLIE
Uh...no? (pulling her arm away from
him) I don't know? I've never been on
a date, much less with a man.

JAY
How 'bout that girl from your bio
class last semester?

LESLIE
That was for a group project, not an
actual date. Pay attention.

JAY
Whatever. How do we do this?

Jay shuffles to change his posture and position. Leslie rolls

her eyes. She grabs a fry from the basket in front of her and
awkwardly stuffs it in Jay's mouth.

JAY
(muffled)
Thanks.

LESLIE
(loud)
You like that babe? Here's another!

Leslie forces another fry in between Jay's lips.

JAY
(sarcastic)
MMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Leslie interlocks hands with Jay.

LESLIE
(mockingly)
You're so handsome my darling! I can't
wait to get married!

Jay glares at Leslie, annoyed.

JAY
Girl-

Their phones ding simultaneously. The message is from

Heather. It reads: Sorry I'm late. Had to deal with
something.

LESLIE
_____
Late?

JAY
Bitch, what?
_____ I thought she was here
already!

LESLIE
We said nine sharp
_____. I thought she was
hiding behind the shrub the whole
time. Our lives are literally on the
line here. I can't believe-

Suddenly, a convoy of police cars and ambulances rush swiftly

across the street behind Leslie and Jay. They look at each
other in horror.

We witness a short montage of the authorities arriving to the

scene (a night club) and zipping up a couple into body bags,
garnished with blood.

INT. DORM ROOM - NIGHT

The three roommates burst through the door. They're arguing

loudly.

LESLIE
The question is why weren't you there?
We trusted you. We were out in plain
sight, playing Barbie and Ken so you
can catch the killer. That was the
plan. So, I don't understand. Why
weren't you there?

HEATHER
I told you! I was in the bathroom! You
know I have IBS!

JAY
BITCH! You couldn't hold your shit for
like 20 minutes? Or at least tell us
you had to take a dump! Like we're

quite literally risking our necks.

That couple could've been us!

HEATHER
I know, I know! I'm sorry!

As they make their way into the room, Leslie and Jay start to
back Heather into a corner as they progressively get more
accusatory.

JAY
How could you be so inconsiderate?

LESLIE
Selfish!

JAY
This isn't the first time you've
bailed on us!

LESLIE
You disappeared from our lives when
you started dating Joey!

JAY
Joey this! Joey that! That's all you
could talk about any chance we had to
hang out!

HEATHER
Guys-

LESLIE
And even then, we did everything we
could to hold on to you, to support
you, to be there for you!

HEATHER
Stop-

JAY
And when you guys broke up and you
nearly fell apart, who was there to
pick up the pieces?

LESLIE
Us. Remember us?

Created using Celtx

 11.

JAY
We were there for you day and night
while you balled your eyes out. While
you clogged the toilet with your IBS
BS. While you got drunk and barfed on
my one-of-a-kind periwinkle Pedro
Pascal "cool slutty daddy" crop top!
What kind of person does that to a
friend?

HEATHER
Guys, what the fuck?

JAY
For all we know you could be the
killer.

-------

HEATHER
What?

LESLIE
I mean you were gone for a long time,
and as soon as you came, two more
victims popped up.

Jay starts to count the reasons to blame her on his fingers.

JAY
When Ron died you literally said
"serves him right." I mean who the
fuck says that if they're not out for
blood themselves?

LESLIE
AND you and Joey had a shitstorm of a
breakup! Now he's dead.

JAY
You literally said you wanted to kill
him when he cheated on you!

HEATHER
You guys are actually psychotic!

JAY
We're not the ones who baited our
friends and left them out for dead!

Created using Celtx

 12.

LESLIE
He's right.

HEATHER
Fuck you! It was your idea to bait the
murderer in the first place! For all I
know, one of you could be the killer!

A silence holds the room. Jay and Leslie slowly turn their
heads towards each other. They both reveal a sinister smirk.
Cut to black. We hear a duet of menacing laughs from Jay and
Leslie.

EXT. FOOTBALL FIELD - DAY

We cut to an aerial CU of Heather's face. She's bloody and

her eyes are closed. We slowly dolly backwards from above to
reveal that she is dead. As we continue to pan to reveal more
and more of her surroundings, we see that she lay
slaughtered. Next to her lay Nico, adorned in red, holding
her hand. As we the camera goes higher and higher, it is
revealed that they are laying on a massive football field.
part of a giant ensemble of bodies, intricately organized in
the shape of a broken heart.

THE END.

Roll credits for principal cast and crew. Groovy music plays.

While the credits roll, we see Jay and Leslie break out into
dance while they create the broken heart of bodies on the
football field. We see them do things like kicking a limb
into place, taking a selfie with the bodies, and leaping over
the bodies.

INT. DORM ROOM - NIGHT

Nico walks down the apartment hallway, headed towards

Heather's room wearing nothing but one towel around his chest
and one towel around his head. As he makes way, he hums and
quietly sings a tune in a thick Hispanic accent. He enters
the room with his eyes closed, enjoying the music. He turns
around and unravels the knot of the towel at the base of his
chest. He then grabs the two ends of the towel, opens his
arms to dramatically drop it to ground.

NICO
Heather, mi amor? I have a surprise
for you!

He then turns around and opens his eyes. He realizes Heather

lay bloody and dead on the floor. His eyes widen in fear. His
situationship has been brutally murdered.

NICO
My love!?

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS - DAY

CU shot of Anita and Ron making out obnoxiously. They take a

breather and we zoom into the space created by the separation
of their faces to reveal Jay and Leslie in the background.
Jay gags and Leslie shakes her head while giving them a nasty
look.

LESLIE
Where's a serial killer when you need
one?

Jay slowly turns his head and makes eye contact with Leslie.
Then, Leslie slowly looks upward and Jay turns his head
towards the camera so they both make eye contact with the
camera with a menacing smirk.
