The film begins with a close-up of a man’s (CLYDE’S) face in a dark background.  He is staring directly at the camera, and a little blood is smudged on his face.

CLYDE
I am not insane.  Nervous, maybe, but not insane. To call me insane would be insane.  I am perfectly normal.  No—I am more than normal.  I am superhuman.  I can hear things normal people cannot.  My senses are sharper than anyone elses existing on this earth.  I am…unique.  Unique…not insane.

When the man finishes speaking, we see short clips of him talking to a girl inside a house.

CLYDE
It all started with a girl.  My girlfriend, really.  Her name was Stephanie.  She was beautiful.  She was unique, just like me.  We had everything in common.  Everything was great between us…until that horrible day.

Show a clip of STEPHANIE playing catch with CLYDE.  CLYDE throws the ball, but STEPHANIE is not paying attention, and as a result, she gets hit in the eyeball hard.  As the baseball collides with her face, she hits the ground hard.  CLYDE is seen running over to her, crying.

CLYDE
Nooooo!!!!!

He carries her into the house, and puts a bag of ice on her eyeball.  Her eyeball is not seen since it is blocked by the bag of ice.

CLYDE
Don’t worry, Steph.  Everything will be fine.

STEPHANIE shoots CLYDE a smile, and then takes the ice off of her face, and reveals her ugly, swollen, brooding, oozing, pulsating, right eyeball.  A close-up of CLYDE’S disgusted face is shown.

CLYDE
She was no longer the Stephanie that I once knew.  She was no longer beautiful.  She was…ugly as a mother.

Show CLYDE tucking STEPHANIE into a bed and nurturing her.

CLYDE
I tried to cope with her and her…

CLYDE pauses.

CLYDE
…deformity…but it got to the point where I could no longer take it.  She had to go.  She had to get out of my life.  I wanted to remember Stephanie as beautiful and unique and not as a monster.  So, one night, while she was sound asleep, I did something to break off our relationship.  I killed her.

Show CLYDE holding a large knife, standing in front of STEPHANIE’S bed.  He lifts the knife into the air and jabs it into STEPHANIE’s gut.  Blood splatters on a close-up of his wide and sadistic grin.

For CLYDE’S next dialogue, show another close-up of his face.

CLYDE
Now I know what you’re thinking—“Oh, this guy is crazy!”  But will you think I’m crazy after this?  See, I was smart.  I didn’t just leave the body there for anyone who entered the bedroom to see…no…I was smart.  I dragged her body into the baththroom…and I was careful not to get any blood on the floor…and I chopped it up limb by limb.  I then took the body parts, threw them in a bag, and went out into the woods…

Show CLYDE walking through the woods, holding a bag full of STEPHANIE’S body parts.

CLYDE
…where I dug a giant hole and dumped them in.  See how smart—(angrily) and not insane--I am?

Cut back to a close-up of CLYDE’S face.  As he speaks his next few lines, zoom out to show his environment.  He is sitting on a tree stump outside in the woods with a two friends.

Cut over to FRIEND 1 and FRIEND 2, who are leaning on a group of branches, reading magazines and talking to CLYDE.

FRIEND 1
Hey, man, whatever happened to that Stephanie chick you were going out with?

CLYDE
Oh, she…she broke up with me.

FRIEND 2
Bummer, man.  She was hot.

CLYDE
Yeah, but I’ve moved on…

As CLYDE finishes the word “on”, his voice trails off, as if he hears something.

Cut to FRIEND 2, who is pointing at a picture in a magazine in disbelief.

FRIEND 2
Oh, dude!  Check this out!  That is brutal!

FRIEND 1 leans over, trying to catch a glimpse of FRIEND 2’s magazine.

FRIEND 1
Holy crap, dude!  Hey, Clyde, check this—


CLYDE interrupts.  The camera pans over to show his wrinkled and confused face.

CLYDE
Shut up for a second!

A heartbeat is heard.

CLYDE

You guys hear that?

Cut back over to FRIEND 1 and FRIEND 2.

FRIEND 1
Hear what?

FRIEND 2
What are you talking about, dude?

CLYDE
Shut up!

The heartbeat noise gets louder.  For his next couple of lines, CLYDE’S is speaking to the audience in his head.  His mouth remains closed, and FRIEND 1 and FRIEND 2 cannot hear what he is saying.

CLYDE
We are right underneath the spot where I buried her.  And look at them…

Cut to FRIEND 1 and FRIEND 2, who are laughing and cracking jokes about Clyde.

FRIEND 1
What’s wrong with you, man?

FRIEND 2
You’re freaking insane!

Cut back to CLYDE, whose face sports a furious expression.  He looks directly into FRIEND 2’s eyes.

CLYDE
What did you call me?

FRIEND 2 is still laughing a little, not fully realizing just how upset CLYDE really is.

FRIEND 2
I said you were insane, dude!

After hearing this, CLYDE explodes in a blind rage.

CLYDE
I AM NOT INSANE! I AM NOT INSANE!  ARGH! STOP MAKING FUN OF ME!

CLYDE speaks to the audience through his mind again for the next few lines.

CLYDE
THEY KNOW MY SECRET!  THEY CAN HEAR STEPHANIE’S HEARTBEAT AND THEY KNOW I’VE KILLED HER…AND THEY’RE MAKING FUN OF ME!

CLYDE speaks with his mouth again, this time for both FRIENDS to hear.

CLYDE
AGH!  OKAY, I ADMIT IT!  I FREAKING ADMIT IT!  I KILLED STEPHANIE!  SHE’S HIDDEN UNDER THIS DIRT!

CLYDE quickly claws away at the dirt, revealing STEPHANIE’S rotting face and her deformed eyeball.

FRIEND 1 pukes, and FRIEND 2 just stares at the rotting corpse in disbelief.

FRIEND 2
Holy…crap…man…

FRIEND 1
I had no idea!

CLYDE’S expression switches from anger to despair.

CLYDE
What?  You mean…you…you mean you didn’t know?

FRIEND 2
(voice shaking from fear) No!  But now I do, d-d-dude, and  I-I’m calling the cops, man!

FRIEND 1
Let’s get out of here, man!

CLYDE pulls an ax out from the stump he was sitting on, and raises it above his head.  The screen quickly turns pitch black, and screams and cutting noises are heard.


THE END flashes on the pitch black screen, and the credits roll.  After the credits, show a click snippet of a close-up of CLYDE’S face, he is laughing sadistically and covered in blood.  When the short snippet ends, so does the film.
