Scene 3 idea from Collin Bressie

ACT I

SCENE 3

Brian and Shelly enter into a restroom, shut the door and lock it behind them.

SHELLY

What are we going to do?  Where ever we go, people keep dying!

(Brian walks over to the sink and begins to splash some water on his face.  He takes a deep breath then speaks.)

BRIAN

We will be safe in here, it's just us two, I locked the door.

(At this moment, we hear someone pass gas in one of the stalls.  Brain and Shelly turn and look at the stall where the noise originated.  We hear the sounds of a person attempting to pull off some toilet paper but the roll has been depleted.)  



PIERRE

(a French cruise ship waiter speaks up.)

Could someone please assist me with some tissue paper?

SHELLY

(whispering to Brian)

Just the two of us huh?

BRIAN

Who are you?  What are you doing in here?

PIERRE

Mesiour, I am taking...how do say...a number duex. Please sir I need tissue paper.

BRIAN

Don't you know what's going on out there?  There's a killer loose on this ship!

PIERRE

Scarebleu! How do I know I can trust you and the mademoiselle?

SHELLY

Hey, mon amie, do you want to wipe your dairy aire or what? We're going to have to trust each other.

PIERRE

Wee my dear, let us work together.  Now will someone please hand me some tissue paper?

Shelly then searches the other stalls for some spare toilet paper, but cannot find any.

SHELLY

There is none left...

(She looks around and finds a solution, grabs a bunch of paper towels and hands them to Pierre under the stall door.)

It's not the softest, but it should do the trick.

PIERRE

Merci madam. Let me finish up and we'll figure out what is going on around here.

(We hear the toilet flush, the lights flicker in the bathroom.)

BRIAN

Shelly, the lights...they're doing that thing.

PIERRE

Merde...

SHELLY

(concerned)

What happened?

PIERRE

Merde!  I clogged the toilet with the paper towels and now the toilet is overflowing.

(Pierre tries to unlock the stall door, but it's stuck.)

Brian

Get out of there!

PIERRE

The door is jammed!

SHELLY

Crawl underneath.  Oh my gosh, it's oozing out out from underneath the stall.

PIERRE

MERRRRDE! My work boots are ruined.

(The lights flicker again.)

BRIAN

Oh my gosh, that smell is aweful.

(He runs to the bathroom door and struggles to open the door.)

The door is stuck!

SHELLY

Brian.

BRIAN

What?!

SHELLY

The door is locked.

BRIAN

Right...

(Suddenly the lights go out.)

Not again!


SHELLY

(Turning back to the stall.)

Are you okay in there.

(Shelly places her hand on the stall door, it suddenly opens and Pierre falls out into Shelly's arms, dead with a knife in his back. She glares at Brian.)

Merde...
