Kimmy Solves A Murder! Emily Drouillard
ACT ONE
COLD OPEN FADE IN: INT. DARK THEATRE - DREAM
We start black and PAN UP to a backlit dark stage with a man sitting at a DESK. SPOTLIGHT turns on; dim at first, showing TITUS at desk in a suit with white wig.
Titus begins snapping fingers and to SENSUAL JAZZ MUSIC.
TITUS
I’m just a Bill on Capitol Hill /
Tryna make myself some stacks / But
when I tire and there’s no one left
to fire / I like to wind down with
some Sax...
Titus pulls out SAXOPHONE from desk drawer. Lights illuminate entire stage, set to look like OVAL OFFICE.
TITUS
But a saxophone alone / Is a mighty
sad tone / So to join me on
harmonica / I call Monica!
MONICA ENTERS from STAGE LEFT and ZOOM IN on her face. As she walks over while seductively tooting HARMONICA, PAN OUT to show her approaching AL NADAR (CRAIG ROBINSON?) dressed as Clinton in desk chair. PAN to Titus, now dressed like HILARY CLINTON, with look of terror on his face.
TITUS
(Screams and rifles through
bag) WHERE IS MY HOT SAUCE?
’DREAMY’ FADE TO: INT. TITUS’S BEDROOM - MORNING
OVERHEAD VIEW of Titus in bed, tangled in sheets, wakes up panicking and sweaty.
TITUS Why didn’t I get that role?? I was
meant to play America’s First Black President! Damn you, Al Nadar, role thief!

THEME SONG SCENE ONE
INT. VOORHEES KITCHEN - MORNING JACQUELINE enters kitchen dramatically.
JACQUELINE
There’s been a MURDER!
KIMMY
(Panicking)
Jacqueline! What happened? Are you
ok??
(Beat)
(Whispers)
Why’d you do it?
JACQUELINE
No, no, it’s actually ju--
KIMMY
--I can call up Lillian, I’m sure
she knows someone. And how do you
feel about the name ’January
Jones’? That sounds pretty real.
JACQUELINE
That’s a real name, Kimmy.
KIMMY
What? Okay, let’s go with ’October
Smith’ for now. I can drive the car
if you want to do an OJ car chase
-- no idea why it’s name after
juice though.
JACQUELINE
I haven’t committed a murder, I’m
planning one!
KIMMY
Okay, less urgent, but still pretty
bad, Mrs. Voorhees.
JACQUELINE
Oh, calm down, Patrick Bateman.
Real murder is very tacky. I’m
planning a murder mystery party!2.
(CONTINUED)

3.
KIMMY
So no one really dies?
JACQUELINE
It’s like real life Clue! and I
don’t know, do you think we can get
a corpse on such short notice? The
party is tonight!
KIMMY
Tonight??
JACQUELINE
Yes, that’s what I mean when I said
’tonight.’
KIMMY
It’s so last minute!
JACQUELINE
I know, but Julian called and his
co-worker JOHAN VON HEUSEN VAN DER
HOUSEN and his lovely wife JOHANNA
VON HEUSEN VAN DER HOUSEN is in
town.
KIMMY
Do they like mysteries?
JACQUELINE
Love them! Plus the Ritz dropped
their reservation so they need
somewhere to stay tonight.
KIMMY
So how does it work?
Jacqueline pulls out SMALL STACK OF WRINKLED PAPERS.
JACQUELINE
Oh, I don’t really know. I printed
off a guide from the website YaHOO
Answers. But Vogue says that murder
mysteries are a "chic and
delightful reminder that it is only
through jest and role-play that we
will ever even acknowledge the
plethora of hardships that most
only know as the bleak reality of
existence." Go buy a party kit
somewhere and hire an actor or two.

SCENE TWO
KIMMY Can I hire Titus to play the dead
guy?
JACQUELINE Oh, I stopped listening after I
said YaHOO. Do whatever.
FADE OUT.
FADE IN: INT. PARTY AND COSTUME SHOP
PAN DOWN over wall of risque women’s maid costumes to show Kimmy standing facing it. She turns around and sighs, looking down at Murder Mystery Kit she is holding.
KIMMY
There are lots of maid costumes,
but none of them look like yours,
Ms. Featherfluffer.
Al Nadar passes in partystore uniform and stops when he sees Kimmy looking sad.
AL
Hey now, parties are supposed to
make you feel like you’re made out
of butterflies. What’s got you
down, girl?
KIMMY
Oh, Hi! Do you have any maid
costumes that look like this? I
need to dress up for a murder
mystery party tonight!
Kimmy shows him Party Box with maid character.
AL
(Gesturing to wall of scantily
clad young women with
defeated, soulless eyes)
None of these got you inspired?
KIMMY
None of them seem like something a
maid would really wear, you know? Although having the perseverance to create a shirt that is somehow

KIMMY (cont’d)
smaller than the bra underneath it
is a little impressive.
AL
(stage whispers as if
revealing a secret)
No it’s not, they just use shirts
for unusually large babies and
normal sized small children.
Al crouches down and rifles through costumes at the back of the bottom shelf, struggling for a moment, and finally pulling a normal maid costume out.
KIMMY
This is perfect!
AL
Anytime, miss. They don’t sell well
but I gotta keep the real costumes
somewhere for when I need to
impersonate an officer of the law
or bring my own costume for a play.
KIMMY
You act??
AL
Yes, I’ve been slowly realizing
that my dream of being a party
store sales associate wasn’t quite
as fulfilling as I thought it would
be as a kid. I guess I’ve turned to
acting because I need a corporate
sell-out job to finance my lavish
lifestyle while I’m in between
sales.
KIMMY
So you wouldn’t be interested in
doing an acting job tonight? For a
party? We need someone.
AL
Woman, I am desperate. I’ll even be
the maid.
KIMMY
We need a red herring.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:
6.
AL
I don’t do fish, I’m sorry, but I’v
been there and... I’m just not
budging on this.
KIMMY
No, we need you to look like the
bad guy to make people suspicious
and throw them off the trail of the
real killer!
AL
I can do that, I’ve got a pretty
intimidating Russian accent. I’m
Al, by the way. Al Nadar.
KIMMY
(Shaking his hand)
Nice to meet you! I’m--
TITUS
KIMMY COUGAR SCHMIDT
Titus, dressed as Glinda from the Wizard of Oz has exited dressing room to see Kimmy holding hands with his old rival Al.
KIMMY
Hey, Titus! I found our actor! His
name is–
TITUS
Al Nadar, Role thief.
AL
Hey Titus, c’mon, it’s been ten
years. It’s good to see you buddy.
(Holds out hand to shake)
TITUS
Kimmy, a moooooment.
Titus pulls Kimmy aside.
TITUS
Kimmy, this is my enemy. He stole
my role in Monica Lewinsky: The
Musical.
Who?
KIMMY
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:
7.
TITUS
Kimmy, how do you not know who
Monica Lewinsky is? The Oval Office
POTUS Coitus scandal that shook the
nation harder than Louise Woodward
popping a baby into bed!
KIMMY
Bunker, Titus.
TITUS
Right, of course. Regardless, this
Al Nadar character is not to be
trusted.
KIMMY
Well then he’ll be the perfect red
herring!
TITUS
Oh Kimmy, you think you’re actually
hiring him? HA!
KIMMY
Already did Titus. I think he’s a
really nice guy. Why won’t you give
him another shot?
TITUS
He ruined my chance at the role of
a lifetime Kimmy! He ruined my fake
presidency worse than the real
Nadar ruined the Gore’s!
AL
You guys know you just took a step
and turned away, right? I can hear
everything you’re saying.
TITUS
(glancing back at Al)
How very rude of you, this is a
private conversation.
Titus takes one small step further away from Al.
TITUS
Much more private now. But listen
to me, Kimmy, let’s just find
someone else.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:
8.
KIMMY
It’s too late Titus. We won’t have
time to find someone else by
tonight and he’s really funny!
TITUS
Do you think I care, Kimothy??
KIMMY
Titus, it was ten years ago. You’ll
be fine. Plus no one really talks
to dead people besides that kid
that’s friends with Bruce Willis.
You can pretend he isn’t even
there.
(Kimmy turns back to Al)
KIMMY (CONTD)
Al, we’ll take the party kit, and
the maid costume, some fake blood,
leave the dress (gestures to Titus)
and see you at 6!
SCENE THREE
FADE IN: INT. VOORHEES LIVING ROOM - LATER - AFTERNOON
CUT TO:
Jacqueline is seated on COUCH surrounded by CRIME SHOW/MYSTERY DVDS. Kimmy can be seen behind applying makeup to Titus’s face.
Kimmy!
JACQUELINE
KIMMY Yes, Mrs. Voorhees?
JACQUELINE You’ve seen the clues for the
party, so you know how it ends, right?
KIMMY No way José am I telling you!
JACQUELINE But I want to win, Kimmy.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:
9.
KIMMY
Nuh-uh! That will ruin the
surprise! The rever--my old
babysitter used to say: "Curiosity
killed the cat because answers give
you cancers!"
JACQUELINE
I want to say that doesn’t make
sense, but it rhymes so well...
(stares off into space for a
beat)
JACQUELINE(CONTD)
At least help me figure out what to
watch next to prepare. I’m almost done with CLUE, should I move on to Scooby Doo or How to Get Away with Murder?
KIMMY
How to Get Away with Murder? Wow,
you really can learn everything on
TV now!
JULIAN VOORHEES enters followed by JOHAN VON HOUSEN VAN DER HOUSEN and JOHANNA VON HOUSEN VAN DER HOUSEN
JULIAN
...needless to say, that’s the last
time I went to a club with an und--
(Sees Jacqueline)
JULIAN(CONTD)
--and this is the living room. Your
room is down here...
(Julian exits with Johan and
Johanna and quickly re-enters
alone)
JULIAN
Jacqueline, the party is ready,
correct?
(Jacqueline looks at Kimmy for
anwswer)
KIMMY
Yessiree!
JACQUELINE
Yessir--Yes. Just yes.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:
10.
JULIAN
Good. Johan is an important partner
with the company, so I don’t want
any embarrassment.
Julian gives Jacqueline a stern, parental look. Jacqueline turns and gives the same look to Kimmy. Kimmy turns and gives the same look to Tim Curry’s CLUE character on the TV screen. However, when she looks, Curry is already giving a disappointed look. Kimmy looks defeated and then suspicious of TV.)
SCENE FOUR
FADE IN:
INT. VOORHEES HALLWAY
CUT TO:
Kimmy is hiding a clue in a bouquet of flowers in the hallway when she hears Johan on the phone in his room speaking very quickly and angrily. She sneaks closer, only some of the conversation is audible. Half in Dutch, but Kimmy hears the words ’her body’ ’hair’ ’get rid of extra body parts’.
KIMMY
(to self)
Oh my god, he sounds like he just
killed someone.
(beat)
I should get involved.
Kimmy facetimes Titus and puts him on mute before he could talk.
KIMMY
(whispering)
Titus, this is very important. I
need you to spy for me.
Kimmy puts phone on Buckley’s selfie stick
KIMMY (CONTD)
I think there was a murder.
(beat)
And yes, I know the party isn’t a real murder. I mean a real real murder. Mr. Voorhees’s friend. Just look, okay?
Kimmy creeps up to door and slowly slides end of phone under door room while still staying hidden. Johan keeps yelling

for a few moments, until he hangs up angrily. Kimmy pulls phone back and after a beat runs away into nearby room and unmutes Titus.
KIMMY
Well, did you see anything?
TITUS
What an angry little blonde tulip.
He needs to take some anger
management classes and clean up his
room.
KIMMY
What was there? What did you see?
TITUS
Your paltry cinematography skills
did me no favors but a took some
screen shots, I’ll send them now.
Kimmy opens pictures, which look like a normal but very messy room. After a beat she notices the locks of blonde hair sticking out of Johan’s overstuffed suitcase.
KIMMY
Titus, look at that hair! That’s
not normal.
TITUS
It’s probably just a wig, Kimmy.
You have no reason to be
suspicious.
KIMMY
Well before I called you he was
talking about body parts and human
hair and other stuff I couldn’t
understand because he was speaking
in some sort of made up language.
TITUS
Kimmy, first of all, that’s Dutch.
It’s very real.
KIMMY
Well it sounds like my code
language in the bunker.
TITUS
It’s real, Kimmy. And more
importantly, you should’ve have
opened with ’I just heard a creepy

ACT TWO
SCENE ONE
TITUS (cont’d) old Dutch man talking about body
part and human hair’!
KIMMY Sorry, I had to act quick.
TITUS Well now that I know he was angry
about body parts and human hair and people disrespecting his native tongue, I would like to change my reaction to very suspicious.
KIMMY Who was he talking to?? Do you
think he’s in the Dutch Mafia?
TITUS There’s a Dutch Mafia?
KIMMY There isn’t?
TITUS The Dutch are not typically known
for their violence or gang activity.
KIMMY I thought it was like the Olympics
where every country gets a team. Huh.
TITUS And judging by the state of that
bedroom, I would say that he would lean more toward unorganized crime.
END OF ACT ONE
INT. VOORHEES KITCHEN
Kimmy is in her maid costume, looking at party kit character cards.
KIMMY

Tonight, I will be playing the
maid, ’Mah-ry Feathahfluffah.’ I

made ’er a Brit because they’ah
more elegant. I’m like the Mah-ry
Poppins o’ the night.
TITUS
That’s not what Mary Poppins sounds
like, Eliza Doolittle.
KIMMY
Well it’s the only accent I rem’ber
from the movie, mate.
AL
I think it sounds great, Kimmy.
Very authentic. Titus shoots Al a glare.
KIMMY
Thank you, kind sire. Okay, Titus,
you’re playing Guster Gustafon, the
murder victim. You’s a friendly
German man visitin’ America for the
first time. You get ya throat slit
in the empty guest bedroom.
TITUS
German? Why isn’t he French?
KIMMY
What’s wrong with German?
TITUS
Kimmy, Germans are terrifying. No
one would try to kill one and live
to tell the tale. The French are
much more vulnerable.
KIMMY
Oi, that sounds like a stereotype
bruv. Titus shoots Kimmy an unamused look.
TITUS
Is it, "bruv"?
KIMMY
Fair point, mate. Frog legs it is!

TITUS
(shaking head)
Urgh, les rosbifs.
KIMMY Aight, Al, you’s the red he’ing
tonight, Jeb Ellis. Fake ’em out. Be real suspicious like.
TITUS
(under breath)
No acting required there.
KIMMY You’re the weird guy, the one who
says the wrong thing, looks generally like a creep-ah.
AL Got it. Did I mention your eyeballs
look lovely this evening, Ms. Featherbottom.
KIMMY
(grimaces)
Very good.
TITUS Whatever, I’ll be the one stealing
the show tonight.
AL Titus, you realize you spend the
entire night after dinner lying in a bedroom, perfectly still, wearing fake blood, right? Which is exactly how I like it.
TITUS You’d best pray I don’t become a
zombie and come after you, Nadar.
KIMMY
(pulling Titus aside and using
normal voice)
Focus, okay? Tonight we are focusing on figuring out Johan. Leave Al alone.
TITUS
(sighing)
Fine.

KIMMY (in cockney accent again)
Promise?
Whatever you say, Dyke van Dyke.
SCENE TWO FADE IN: INT. VOORHEES DINING ROOM
TITUS
All guests (Voorhees family, Johan and Johanna, Kimmy, Titus, Al, two other boring couples that Julian knows) are seated at dining room table. All are waiting for food.
JACQUELINE
(coughs loudly and glare at
Kimmy)
It’s amazing how maids now a days
think they can just sit down at the
table and someone else will bring
them dinner. Life doesn’t work like
that, sweetie. There are no
handouts. Now go serve our food.
TITUS
Oh oui, je suis trez hungry after
all of ze travel. It make me very
tired, no?
Titus looks around to see if people are buying his act.
KIMMY
(standing up from chair)
Oh, uh, right! Dinnah will be right
out.
AL
I can’t wait. If I get too hungry,
I can get mildly violent.
Kimmy enters kitchen and exits struggling to carry large platter.
KIMMY
The Beef Wellington is now--
Kimmy stumbles and almost drops food.

KIMMY (CONTD)
--ready fo’ ya eatin’. Hope you lot
enjoy it. Kimmy awkwardly shoves platter onto table.
KIMMY
(to Jacqueline as she sits)
Oi miss, I be best at cleaning
chimneys, innit.
AL
It’s truly amazing the things you
can hide in chimneys. Empty cans,
used chairs, dogs you get bored
of...
TITUS
You clean chimneys now?
KIMMY
(very serious, whispering)
NO Titus. Just drop it, okay? It’s
just a character.
TITUS
Okay. Shall we make a plan?
KIMMY
We’ve gotta be subtle. I’ll ’draw
up a map’.
Kimmy begins drawing with her food to create a map. Titus leans over to correct it. Montage shows food maps of NYC subway, USA, Westeros, Route to Mordor, and Map from Dora the Explorer, before the settle on a simply L-shaped map of the hallway. The two wink to each other very conspicuously.
SCENE THREE
FADE IN:
INT. VOORHEES BEDROOM
Kimmy is applying fake blood to Titus’s neck as they set up his death scene.
KIMMY
Hopefully no one noticed us rush
out after dinner. They might think
I’m the killer!

TITUS
Kimmy, stop wasting time with me.
Go look in Johan’s room while
everyone is occupied. Al should be
leading the group in to discover my
body and laugh at his final victory
over the great Titus Andronicus.
KIMMY
If I find anything, I’ll text you.
TITUS
Dead people can’t text.
KIMMY
They can when nobody’s looking.
INT. JOHAN’S BEDROOM
CUT TO:
Kimmy goes up to the hair hanging out of the suitcase. She tries to lift suitcase, but it is incredibly heavy.
KIMMY
(to self)
Like a body...
Kimmy takes a picture and texts to Titus with caption "IT"S A BODY". As Kimmy attempts to open suitcase to investigate further, Johan begins to open the door, taking his time as he is talking on his cell phone. Kimmy jumps into fireplace.
JOHAN
What are you doing in here, girl?
KIMMY
(in cockney accent)
I’m just wipin’ up the soot, ain’t
I mate?
JOHAN
Aren’t you the maid?
KIMMY
Oi, that’s right I am, maid of the
chimneys, bruv, innit, mate?
Johan stares at Kimmy with an annoyed expression and walks out to continue phone call.

Titus sees text message from Kimmy.
TITUS
(gasps)
There’s been a murder after all.
As he puts his phone away, the party enters, all shocked. They begin arguing between one another about how he died and who did it. Titus’s phone vibrates again and he quickly glances down to see Kimmy’s text: HELP!
TITUS
(hums horror movie music)
Titus begins to move slightly to make a break for it and run to Kimmy, but realizes that no one has noticed a thing. They are too busy arguing. He stands up. Still no response.
Ahem. No response.
TITUS (coughing)
TITUS (coughing louder)
AHEM! Group turns to look finally, not shocked by his movement.
TITUS
If any of you cared to notice, I am
now une ghost. I am disappointed by how little you are reacting or supporting my decision to be undead. To make up for it, you may present me with flowers and chocolates at the end of the night. Only vegan chocolate though. Ghosts can’t eat real food.
AL
Vegan chocolate is better anyways.
Titus gives him a horrified look. Titus’s phone buzzes again.
JACQUELINE
(in over the top Southern
Belle accent)
What in the heavens are you doin’
off the ground? You was just deader
than a doornail, bless your soul.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 19.
Titus gives Jacqueline a confused look.
JACQUELINE
(normal voice)
What? I wanted an accent too.
TITUS
I sensed another deathly presence
in the house.
JACQUELINE
(angry stage whisper to Titus)
That’s not how the game works. One.
Body. Only.
AL
(interjects, whispering as
well)
I’m totally cool with having
multiple dead bodies.
TITUS
Oh I don’t care anymore, follow me,
everyone!

Johan approaches fireplace and grabs the fire iron and grips it well, pointing down at Kimmy.
INT. VOORHEES HALLWAY Kimmy’s scream is audible.
TITUS
(glaring at Jacqueline)
I told you.
Titus and rest of party push past Jacqueline. She scoffs,
crosses arms, and rolls eyes like a child.
INT. JOHAN’S BEDROOM
CUT TO:
Group enters and sees Johan threatening Kimmy. He immediately drops iron and puts hands up. Jacqueline enters a beat later.
KIMMY
(pointing to suitcase)
Murder!
JACQUELINE
Don’t mind her, she’s always late
to the game if you know what I
mean.
Jacqueline cups hands and fake yells very patronizingly.
JACQUELINE(CONTD)
We. Know. Kimmy. The game is
literally called mur-der my-ster-y.
(turns back and says
reassuringly to other guests)
This isn’t even the right body,
very embarrassing.
Julian pushes through group.

JULIAN
What the hell is this, Johan?
Julian walks over and un-jams suitcase zipper, opening it to reveal plastic body that is clearly a sex doll.
JOHAN
(nervously)
I run a side business...
Julian...It’s not a big deal.
AL
Yeah, Julian. This is child’s play
compared to the dolls of the big
shots.
Julian looks closely at doll, noting its real hair. Everywhere.
JULIAN
Is this human hair? It feels like
it. And is most certainly of
Eastern European descent. Not only
is that illegal, but now it’s
despicable.
Al crouches and smells hair.
AL
Oh, it smells quite Bosnian.
KIMMY
(whispering to Titus)
How does he know where it’s from?
TITUS
(whispering back)
One at a time, Kimmy. Take ’em one
at a time.
JACQUELINE
Kimmy! You’ve embarrassed us so
much! You’re fired! You’re the true killer of the party.
KIMMY
Jacqueline, you figured it out!
What?
JACQUELINE

22.
KIMMY
I was the killer! You just won!
JACQUELINE
HA! Take that, losers!
AL
It wasn’t me? Even I’m shocked.
Jacqueline basks in her victory, and is fawned over by the other women at the party.
JULIAN
Johan, this can’t keep up. It was
one thing when you got those muppet
hookers in college but an illegal
trade? I can’t afford to have feds
looking into the company.
JOHAN
You can’t just--
JULIAN
Can’t I? I just did. You’re fired.
Take your weird dolls home.
(to Johanna as he places hand
on her arm)
Not you, my dear, you’re lovely.
Stay as long as you’d like.
Julian’s hand lingers a little too long on her arm.
JULIAN(CONTD)
(quickly moving past his
flirtation)
Anyways, Kimmy, thank you. KIMMY
For killing Guster?
JULIAN
...for saving me from the
embarrassment at work. I can’t
afford to be tied with shady deals
or have people looking into our
work. I own you one.

name was. You’ve made me a hero!
KIMMY So I’m not fired?
JACQUELINE
(laughing too hard)
What are you talking about? Fired? You’re almost as crazy Jeb.
AL That’s pretty crazy Kimmy. I can
get us a two-for-one deal at my favorite sanitarium if you’re down.
INT. VOORHEES KITCHEN
Titus and Al are sitting at kitchen counter as they divide their money.
TITUS
Hope you had fun truly being
yourself tonight, Al. You should try auditioning for the American Psycho musical.
AL
Why do you hate me so much? We had
the same audition, like, years ago.
TITUS
Because of you I didn’t get my
breakout role as Bill Clinton!
AL
And you think I got it?? Some
Puerto Rican with a woman’s name
came in a week later rapped the
damn song so they put me in
ensemble.

Really?
AL Yeah, and I was cut entirely when
we made the switch from Off-Off-Broadway to Off-Broadway anyways.
TITUS Maybe you aren’t so terrible then.
You were almost funny tonight and I’ll admit, I was convinced you were crazy.
AL Hey, just trying to hone the craft.
Besides, Clinton isn’t very cool any more. He’s vegan.
TITUS
(excited now)
You know who was a real scoundrel that no one talks about?
TITUS
(waves arm, seeing it now)
I can see it now!
AL A BJ for LBJ.
TITUS If one mistress can make it to
Broadway, then an entire chorus line of them in unstoppable!
AL It’s in the name!
