Gentle Werewolf Episode 8.2 - a comedy script (Ep. 1 linked in post) (this is a 900 follower celebration!)
A new comedy series about finding yourself, friendship, love, work, and play. Also werewolves.
If someone wants to fund this production, the expected cost to shoot the entire first season is <40k STEEM (it was cheaper a month ago when Steem was stronger...current market prices :P ). As an executive producer, you'd get to help us craft the final product. If you'd like to see a more formal pitch, please contact me.
In a world intolerant of howling, it’s tough to be a werewolf. Tom is jobless, a massive government conspiracy is hunting him, and sometimes his friends just don’t want puppy kisses.

Episode 8.2
INT. BATHROOM
Courtney enters. Tom is shaking.
TOM
You can't be in here.
COURTNEY
You look sick.
TOM
I feel amazing! The croutons...
they were soaked in bacon grease.
COURTNEY
Are you serious?
TOM
Bacon. I can't control it. The
beast; I can feel it inside me.
COURTNEY
Now calm down...
TOM
It's rising. I want to sniff
things. And lick them! I want...
He howls. She covers his mouth, pins him. Tom struggles,
then Courtney makes eye contact and growls. Tom looks cowed.
COURTNEY
Pull yourself together, man! This
is no time for your freak-outs!
TOM
(panting heavily)
Thank you.
COURTNEY
Now listen. You've done great so
far. Kayla likes you. Hold down
your werewolfism for the night and
you'll have a good thing. Can you?
TOM
Lycanthropy.
COURTNEY
When you get back, you're going to
pick out the croutons from your
salad. Then you are going to eat
your salad like a man, not a dog.
Tom barks. Courtney slaps him lightly on the nose.
TOM
Thank you, sir. May I have another?
Beat. Courtney isn't amused.
TOM (CONT'D)
... Yes, I can do that.
COURTNEY
Then you're going to give me the
croutons. Because man, bacon-dipped
croutons sound like ambrosia.
EXT. KAYLA'S APARTMENT, NIGHT
Tom escorts Kayla to the front door of her apartment.
Courtney and Jacob make out.
KAYLA
Tonight was really nice. Thanks for
dinner.
TOM
Thanks for the balloon flower, and
for giving me another chance.
KAYLA
Can I confess something?
TOM
Yes...
She steels herself. Looks in his puppy eyes and deflates.
TOM (CONT'D)
What? I love confessions.
Kayla notices Courtney and Jacob and giggles a little.
KAYLA
Would you take a different
confession in place of the one I
was going to give you?
TOM
There are two? Tell me both!
KAYLA
I can tell you one now, and the
other can be our treat in a month.
TOM
Agreed.
KAYLA
I know your secret.
Long pause.
Blackout
Episode 9 when I hit 1000 followers! Suspense! Cliffhanger! We'll pick up right where we left off!
What???? This is so good!!! Why did you leave me hanging? Also, I didn't know you could script-write. It's really fun to read this style. I love it.
You didn't?! Go back and read the whole series!!! Tell me when you do!
Oh geeze. What did I miss? OK. I'll go back.
You see that the link to the first one is in the post, yes?
