Episode 1.2
EXT. STREET, MOMENTS LATER, CONTINUED
*CLARA (parking enforcement officer) is writing a ticket. Tom
walks up to her.*
TOM
I'm a monster. Please lock me up.
CLARA
That's a new one.
TOM
I'm a danger to society and myself.
CLARA
Yes. Parking in front of a fire
hydrant endangers everybody!
*Tom gives the fire hydrant a double take. He is confused by
his feelings for the fire hydrant. He pulls his attention
back to Clara.*
TOM
You should lock me up.
*Clara gives him a "don't give me no sass" look.*
TOM (CONT'D)
Look at me, I'm practically naked.
*Clara rips off the ticket she was writing and holds it out
to him.*
CLARA
Oh really? I hadn't noticed...
*Tom runs off.*
TOM
I don't even own a car!
EXT. STREET, MOMENTS LATER, CONTINUED
* Tom hurries down the street, still wrapped in the yoga mat,
avoiding people and broken glass and keeping his head down.
He comes to an apartment building and punches in 217, then
waits while it rings. It buzzes, and Tom rushes in and up
the stairs to Apt 217.*
INT. COURTNEY AND TOM'S APARTMENT, EARLY MORNING
*Courtney, wearing a yoga outfit, opens the door as Tom bowls
past her into the room. A yoga mat leans on the couch.*
COURTNEY
(laughing)
Forget your ke- What...?
TOM
I'm a werewolf, Courtney.
COURTNEY
You're a werewolf?
*He opens his arms in a presentational manner and the
concealing yoga mat falls to the floor. She covers her eyes
to not see his nakedness.*
TOM
I'm a werewolf.
COURTNEY
Tom! Put some clothes on. You're
not a werewolf.
TOM
You have to lock me up. Tie me to a
chair. No, a chair is too flimsy.
Do we have something stronger than
a chair?
COURTNEY
I have to get ready for work.
*Courtney walks into her bedroom.*
*Tom grabs a blanket from the couch to cover himself, and
follows her.*
INT. COURTNEY'S BEDROOM
*Tom bursts through the door, now wearing the blanket.*
TOM
I'm serious, Courtney, I'm a
werewolf.
*Courtney is getting dressed.*
COURTNEY
Why do you think you're a werewolf?
TOM
I woke up naked in the park.
COURTNEY
That's it? You woke up naked in the
park?
TOM
Look at me!
COURTNEY
What?
TOM
I'm covered in hair!
*Courtney pauses in dressing and looks at him.*
COURTNEY
Is that a third nipple?
TOM
What? No. It's just a mole. You're
missing the point!
COURTNEY
You should have that checked out,
man.
TOM
I don't have cancer, I'm a
werewolf!
COURTNEY
Oh my god.
TOM
Yes, you see now?
COURTNEY
You have cancer. This is your way
of breaking it to me? With a joke?
TOM
What? No. I have werewolfitis.
Werewolfism.
*Courtney continues to pack her bag.*
COURTNEY
Lycanthropy.
TOM
Yes! Lycanthropy!
COURTNEY
You don't have werewolfitis.
TOM
Lycanthropy.
COURTNEY
Whatever. You had a beard
yesterday. You had chest hair
yesterday. Back hair, too. It's
always been there.
TOM
I've always been a werewolf,
probably.
COURTNEY
What?
TOM
Maybe lycanthropy is genetic.
COURTNEY
Being hirsute is genetic. You're
not a werewolf. You just got drunk
and naked and ran around last
night. You did the same thing last
month on Halloween.
TOM
Oh MY GOD! That's when it started!
COURTNEY
I don't know Tom, you do weird
things. I have to get to work.
TOM
Samantha knows weird stuff, she'll
believe me.
COURTNEY
Samantha knows science.
TOM
Weird stuff, like I said.
