Flash-forward to the morning of her 17th birthday, and you'll find her being taken out of her bed, tied-up, and taken to the trunk of the car that her three best friend's (Courtney, Julie, and Marcy) are riding while being gagged with a jawbreaker. Everything goes terribly wrong as the 3 girls pop the trunk to find Liz dead, from choking on the rock hard candy. Courtney is a cold hearted bitch who could care less about the death of her best friend, but the chance of a ruined reputation.

Continuity: When Fern and Courtney are talking about Fern's new name, Fern's Diet Coke jumps back and forth from her hand to the table between cuts. Continuity: When the girls are chatting about what they can do to cover up the death of Elizabeth, Julie's glasses jump from her lap to the top of her head between cuts. Continuity: While at the lunch table, Vylette's purse repeatedly from under her arm to the left of her arm between shots. Continuity: When Julie and Courtney talk in the cafeteria, Julie's hair is alternately covering/not covering her ears between shots. Continuity: At the lunch table, Marcie puts her compact away twice. Continuity: When Courtney is interrogating Fern in Liz's house, Julie offers to take Fern home, but Courtney stops her. Julie runs into Courtney's arm, knocking her sweater strap off her shoulder and revealing her bra strap. In the very next shot, Julie's sweater strap is back in place. Revealing mistakes: At the end of the film when the entire student body is pelting Courtney with corsages, we see several students throwing upwards of five different corsages at her. Continuity: When the newly-created Vylette walks into the school hallway for the first time, we clearly see her wearing a pair of coral-colored high-heeled pumps. The shot of her entering the cafeteria however clearly shows her wearing red low-heeled scuffs, then when she's seated the high-heeled pumps are back. Revealing mistakes: In the scene where the girls are carrying Liz's corpse up the stairs, when Marcie plops Liz on the bed you can clearly see Liz's eye's blink twice. Revealing mistakes: When Liz's parents return home and open the front door, if you look in the background you can clearly see that it does not match with a "real outside setting" for the neighborhood. The background is very bright and blue. Continuity: In the scene where Marcie and Courtney are staging Liz's death scene Marcie and Courtney continuously switch positions from the left side of the bed to the right repeatedly. Revealing mistakes: In the scene where Marcie and Courtney are staging Liz's death when they put their yellow gloved on Liz's head is turned towards Marcie, then when the scene cuts back Liz is facing Courtney. Continuity: In the scene where the girls open the trunk of Courtney's car we can see that Liz is almost completely covered in bruises and her skin is pale, almost white. But as they walk through the pool area and up the stairs you can clearly see that suddenly her skin tone/bruises are completely gone. When they throw her on the bed suddenly the makeup and bruises are back. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: While the girls are talking just before they open the door to Fern Mayo in Liz's room, you can clearly see Liz's stomach moving due to breathing. BOOM: In the scene just after Fern has been made over, they are sitting at the cafeteria table and just after Dean sits down, a boom is visible at the top of the screen. Revealing mistakes: When the girls are taking Liz up to her room to make it seem like rape, when they are half way up the stairs you can see Liz's toes move. Crew: When Courtney enters the phone booth to call detective Cruz, a black microphone wire can be seen hanging out of under her dress all the way down over her stockings. |

Fern: She's so evil... and she's only in high school! Courtney: I killed Liz. I killed the teen dream. Deal with it. Courtney: We just killed our best friend! Do you realize what this means? Marcie: You're a shoo-in for prom queen? Courtney: I don't believe we've met, what with the cruel politics of high school and all. Julie: It's just weird how time erases things. Fern: Time doesn't erase things, people erase things. Julie: Yeah, people erase people. Courtney: Wait a minute. Julie: What? Courtney: Rape... they'll check to se if she was raped right? Maybe Liz had a friend over, you know, Mommy and Daddy's last night away, maybe he's from school, maybe not. But definitely into kink. He got a little rough, went a little to far, you know, there's a fine line between pleasure and pain. She screamed for help, but no one could hear her. Her screams were muffled by the huge candy ball, she tried, but there was nothing, only sugary sweet death. Marcie: Oh my God, that like, totally gave me the chills. Courtney: They'll believe it because it's thier worst nightmare: Elizabeth Purr, the very picture of teenage perfection, obliterated by perversion. Courtney: You know, there's a fine line between pleasure and pain. Courtney: I have this gift, I can smell a lie. Miss Sherwood: You don't think that Miss Mayo could have...? No. Miss Mayo is as sweet as the days are long. Detective Vera Cruz: It's a crazy world, Miss Sherwood. Some of the sweetest candies are sour as death inside. Vylette: This is high school, Detective Cruz. What is a friend anyway? Detective Vera Cruz: A friend is someone who tells the truth no matter what. A true friend never lies. Courtney: You like it? Dane: It's okay. Courtney: Okay? There's nothing kinky about "okay", now is there? Courtney: I mean, food's cool and all. It tastes good and you need it to live, but the mere act of eating involves thoughts of digestion, flatulation, defecation, even, shall we say, complexion defection. Courtney: Ok, reality check, Liz is in the trunk of this car. And she is dead. That is a sad, fucked up thing, but you are going to walk into that school and strut your shit down the hallway like everything is peachy fucking keen. Marcie: How about some public affection, girls? Julie: How can you do that? Frame some guy for Liz's murder? Courtney: Life's a bitch, then you die. Julie: No, honey. You're the bitch! Courtney: [leans in tauntingly] Oh, so aggressive! It's turning me on! Courtney: I taught you to disrespect us? Fern: You taught me to rule. Courtney: That's right! Rule, bitch! But don't forget who made you! Courtney: What a fucking tearjerker. Look, Marce, it's like Terms of Endearment Part III, only this time the boyfriend's gay. Marcie: Yeah, and the rest of the cast sucks! Courtney: Never send a rose unless dyed black as a warning. And if one is sent to you, destroy it along with the sender. Emotionally of course. It's not like we kill people... [a pause as Marcie and Vylette look at Courtney, horrified] Courtney: ...on purpose. Courtney: Listen bitch, one word and you're over, I mean that. Julie: I'm not scared of you anymore Courtney. Courtney: We saw you, we all know you did it. Julie: No one will ever believe you! Courtney: Ask Fern, ask Marcie... We saw everything. Julie: You fucking liar. Courtney: One word, and you perish, I promise you that... Toodles! Courtney: Well, if it isn't the beautiful people! Brenda: Courtney, I've been meaning to tell you, you are to-die to-die! Courtney: Thank you my dear Marcie: [talking to date] I'm so bored tonight... I think it's time for a little room service. Courtney: MARCIE! Reality check, I think there's a certain announcement that needs to be made! Dane: Yeah, give it up for the prom queen Marcie: Oh my god Courtney, I am so sorry! Courtney: It's ok Marce. We can't all be up to speed, can we girls? Marcie: AHH! She is gonna die! This is so much better then what we did last year! Courtney: I wish *I* had friends that would do this for *me*! Julie: Yeah right! You'd have us killed! Courtney: Brutally maimed, my dear. Courtney: You knew Liz Purr right? Fern: I-I know of her Courtney: "Knew" of her, past tense. She's dead Fern, she died. But we've got a bit of a problem because you know we did it. You heard us. That gives you a little something Fern, and it's called power. The power to tell, and you're the kind of girl that tells. A tattle-tale. Marcie: A rat. [Gothic Girl is in bathroom trying to find a stall] Make-Up Monger #1: I'm sorry this stall is reserved. Gothic Girl: What? Make-Up Monger #1: Haven't you met Vylette? It's all about Vylette. Fern: The one in the green is Courtney. She was like Satan in heels. Narrator: First you need to know something about them. The beautiful ones. The flawless four. Everyone wanted to be them. You know 'em they went to your school too. They totally ruled. The one in the green that's Courtney she was the leader she was like Satan in heels. The blonde Marcie Fox a legend in her own little mind, known to herself as 'foxy'. Oh, the leggy one with the pig tails in Julie, doomed to be popular because of that face and because she was best friends with the one in the pink. That's Liz Purr. She was special. Everybody loved Liz not just because she was beautiful and popular, and rich and smart she was all of those things but more than anything she was sweet. Courtney ruled with terror Liz ruled with kindness, she was like the Princess Di of Reagan High and that pissed Courtney off. Liz Purr was well, she was perfect. I used to dream about what it would be like to be her, Elizabeth Purr. Its a shame about what happened to Liz. That was no way to wake up on your seventeenth birthday. [Marcie movies Liz's head] Marcie: AHHH! Courtney: What? Marcie: She looked at me. I swear to God she looked at me! Courtney: Her eyes are open. She's bound to look somewhere. My God Marcie, she's dead. Relax. Miss Sherwood: Do you know a senior named Elizabeth Purr? Fern: You mean the meow? Miss Sherwood: Excuse me? Fern: Liz is the cat's meow. Miss Sherwood: ...I'm sure she is. [Julie approaches Fern, now turned into Vylette, who in turn is with Courtney and Marcie] Marcie: Do you smell something? Julie: Hi, Fern. Marcie: Fern? We don't know a Fern. Vylette: My name's Vylette. Julie: What? Vylette: My name's Vylette. Courtney: Learn it. Marcie: Live it. Marcie, Courtney: Love it. [Julie Freeman approaches Courtney Shayne and Marcie Fox] Courtney: Look what the kitty dragged in. Marcie: Meow. Dane: Don't go. Courtney: Don't come. [Vylette, in her pink dress, gets out of her red Corvette] Vylette: Hi, girls! [Vylette walks past them] Courtney: What's wrong with this picture? Courtney: I made you, and I can break you just as easily. Vylette: Good idea. Kill me like you did Liz. Gothic Girl: [after Marcie has just cracked an egg open in Home Ec. Class and sees blood in the yoke] Cool! You've got a still-born! Marcie: Trends change people change, its all about details, if you dont pay attention to details your doomed, i mean look at my nails! I went through junior high wearing nothing but pink now pink makes me puke so i change rearrange, see, its called demented, no seriously the color's called demented. Courtney: mine,decayed, like julie our friendship with her is decayed, rotten, julie is no more, shes like fern mayo a bad dream, get it! Courtney: [together give evil laugh] HA HA HA! Courtney: First, we're gonna stuff her pretty face with pancakes, then tie her to the flagpole in her bra and undies and watch the humiliation begin. Marcie: She is gonna die! Julie: It's over Courtney. Courtney: I am petrified. |
