Aw Phil,
Sorry you didn't like the script. That's all right though. You're being honest.

I wrote this script for two different reasons. One, of course, was to warn women about something that could happen with a valet... Him getting into her personal information...
The other reason... Well, the peeping tom scared me, haunts me actually, and I thought it would be scary to others as well.
I was actually the one with the peeping tom, and the guy did kill my dog. The next night, I moved a chair right in front of my open door and sat there waiting for the guy with an ax. I had had enough.  Mouse traps were me, too. In fact, I'm a lot like Carrie, well in my younger days; I've wised up a lot.
I have done a rewrite on this one. I don't plan on posting it though.

Cindy

Can you explain the mouse traps to me.  I'm really at a loss here.


Phil

So they would go off and scare the peeping tom when he steps on them outside the window... maybe scare him away.

I'm not trying to knock you or anything, Cindy.  I'm just trying to see the logic of this.  Why not the cops?  Or motion sensitive lighting for outside the house?


Phil

I actually thought the mousetraps were a clever touch and something that a smart, frightened girl might actually do --

-- letting the guy know that she knows about him.

It's better than the cops, I think.  What the heck are they gonna do?  

Exactly, bert. In fact, the cops didn't do a whole lot of anything in this story. Once Carrie called the cops about the peeping tom, all the cop did was say "well, he's gone," and leaves. I mean, the cop couldn't even kill Tom at the end!!

The mousetrap thing sounds like something you see in a comedy.  Maybe load them with ping pong balls so they go flying through the air once the traps are struck.
