Girls, please, sit. Sit. Let Zela read your palms.

Oh, no. Forget it. This is stupid.

GIRL 1: So are you. Sit down.

Okay, Zela, this is it.

My friend here is basically obsessed

with this guy that won't call her back,

and we need to know if she should forget him cold

(GASPS) Well, anyways, whatever you see, just say, "Forget his ass."

(CHUCKLES) No, no, no. I need you to read my friend's.

Blood.

Excuse me?

I see blood.

So much blood.

Okay, that's nice, but... Aah!

You, too. You're both in danger.

Need to know? No. Back to the guy.

It's not the guy.

It's... It's a beast you should fear.

I'm sorry. One minute, he's here, the next minute...

Wh... Hey, uh, Brooke, right?

Do I know you?

Oh, yeah. We... We go to school together.

I sit behind you in Government, Algebra, and, uh, French.

Oh, really? (TIRES SCREECH)

Are you... Are you sure?

Yeah. Brooke Mueller, Jimmy Myers. M.U., M.Y.

I've sat behind you for like three years.

Oh. Yeah.

Okay. Hey, Brooke, you ready?

I'll see you at school. Okay, yeah. No, I know.

Hey, I know you. From P.E.

You're the dodge ball crotch target.

You should really wear a cup. Stop it, Bo, okay?

I'm just looking out for him. He can't help it.

Every school's got one, the derogatory "It".

Look, I'm not gay. Bummer.

You mean you're just an ass wimp-wad for no reason?

Yep.

Yeah, I know. I stopped by Tinsel on my way to see Jake.

But I'm your brother. I'll be there soon.

Well, how... How soon? I said soon, okay?

Do you know what can happen to me over here?

Yes, I know what can happen to a teenager

Hi. Hey.

How's it going?

Ah, we're not even close to finished.

I got four days' work, and the opening's in two.

I am drowning in stress.

Mmm. Yeah. Kiss me again.

(CHUCKLES)

What are you doing here? (METAL CLANKING)

That's good. I told you. That's good.

I haven't seen you in days. (SIGHS)

I just wanted to make sure you were still alive. What is this?

It's a medieval torture device,

Which could actually be fun later.

Come on. I'll give you the two-cent tour.

We've got the Spanish inquisition...

Frankenstein's laboratory...

Dracula's coffin.

(WHEELS SQUEAKING)

What's that?

Oh, that?

That is a sterling replica

to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Wolf Man.

It was donated by the Chaney Estate.

Wow.

Planet Hollywood has nothing on you guys.

Shh. We don't mention them here.

So, I was thinking,

I'll be here for the opening and you'll be here,

so, how about we be here together?

If I was actually going to the opening.

What do you mean?

You have to go. It's your big night.

You have to show off.

All I want to do is crawl into bed and disappear for three days.

Well, even better. I'll crawl in, too.

Ah, damn. Can you hold on for one second?

Is there something wrong?

No, there's nothing wrong.

I'm just stressed out with work and all this madness.

I just... I need some... Some time and some space.

Okay.

Just call me when you feel like it.

No... No pressure.

It took a bite out of your arm,

but you didn't see it at all?

Well, it all happened so fast, and it was dark.

Well, I saw it and it was...

It was a wolf, but... But bigger.

It was like, like a monster wolf.

Yeah, Jimmy, I have your statement already.

Fine. Don't believe me. I know what I saw.

ELLIE: What happened to her...

What kind of an animal could do that?

A mountain lion, bear, maybe.

There hasn't been a wolf sighting

in Southern California in over 70 years.

(SCOFFS) Mountain lion, my ass.

Jimmy, please.

Why don't you go check on Zipper?

Don't worry. Whatever it was, we'll find it.

We saw a girl get torn apart.

So, you want to talk about the bear

Here in Los Angeles,

a young woman was attacked and killed

by an unidentified wild animal

when her car ran off the road last night,

high in the Hollywood hills.

The victim's name has yet to be released.

It happened on a remote stretch of Mulholland Drive,

shortly before midnight. (FLY BUZZING)

Animal control officers speculate

that it might have been a bear that wandered into the area

in search of water.

It is the first such fatal attack in Los Angeles...

(BUZZING RESUMES) Oh.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Hey.

How are you doing? Did you sleep okay?

Uh, I woke up in the bushes.

You woke up where?

Are you feeling okay? I'm calling Dr. Steinberg.

No, no. I'm fine. Really. Actually...

I feel kind of great.

Okay.

But I'm gonna make an appointment.

The paramedics said we should follow up with another shot.

For all we know, that wolf could've had rabies.

Oh. Oh, so now it's a wolf.

Jimmy, I never said it wasn't.

I just said I didn't see it.

Yeah, it was more like a werewolf.

Okay, and I found this website last night, and according to legend,

a werewolf feeds during the lunar cycle.

That's the three nights around the full moon.

Last night was the first moon of the lunar cycle.

Why can't you just download porn like other teenage boys?

Excuse me for trying to make conversation.

Okay, so, what would a werewolf be doing in L.A.?

Shouldn't it be off in the countryside somewhere,

terrorizing helpless maidens?

I don't know. Maybe it's a hip werewolf.

You know, the maidens come here with perfectly implanted breasts.

(CHUCKLES)

You should get to school.

Hey, I was bitten by a werewolf.

I mean, if that's not good enough for a sick day... I could be cursed.

Everybody's cursed, Jimmy. It's called life.

No, I mean by the mark of the beast.

Is that what you're gonna wear?

What... Hey,

I heard that you're dating Jake Taylor. Is that true?

I hope it's nothing serious.

Why not?

I guess it was only a matter of time before he got to you.

He always did prefer the vulnerable ones.

Okay, well, I'll see you tonight, Joanie.

I'm only saying this because I care.

Is there anything else, Joanie?

Hmm... No. Tonight. Don't be late.

Okay. Thank you.

Okay.

No. Apparently, Jake didn't, either.

I didn't even know that she knew him.

Hey. Hi.

You doing homework?

I was reading up on how you kill a werewolf.

Silver, right? Uh, nope.

You actually have to separate the head from the heart.

Silver just hurts a lot.

But it might not be such a bad deal.

I mean, think about it. Increased strength,

heightened senses, an unnatural sexual allure.

When do we sprout hair and pointy ears?

It's all a little sketchy, but maybe never, maybe tomorrow.

The experts can't really agree on that one.

You're starting to freak me out, Jimmy.

This is fiction, myth.

We live in reality. Come back to the other side.

has always been a thin one.

And that's my fault. This has nothing to do with Mom and Dad.

I miss them, too.

Your hand.

It's a creepy coincidence.

This is some pretty freaky shit, admit it.

Okay. Okay.

Let's put it to the test.

I bought this frame myself, three years ago.

It's from Tiffany's.

It's sterling silver.

Now, if I'm a werewolf,

I shouldn't be able to pick it up, right?

It should hurt me, right?

According to Chapter 4, yeah.

Go to bed, Jimmy. It's late.

Um...Yeah, I kind of need someone to talk to.

Yeah, of course it is. Step inside.

Okay, look, Ellie won't admit it,

but ever since the other night,

things have been different.

We're different.

What other night? What are you talking about?

Didn't Ellie tell you? No. Tell me what?

We, we were in a wreck in the canyon.

A girl was... was killed.

She was ripped apart, I don't know, by...

By some kind of animal.

But whatever it was, bit me,

and now things have been happening to me.

Things I can't explain.

Jake, I know it sounds crazy, but...

I think it was a...

A werewolf.

Hmm.

What does your sister say about all this?

You know Ellie. Deny and avoid, it's her thing.

But it got her, too, and now I think we're cursed.

Look, I almost took a guy's head off in gym,

and I'm not the kind of guy to take another guy's head off.

I mean, come on, look at me.

What if it comes back?

I mean, I know enough to know that it's... It's a who, not a what,

so, I mean, it could be pissed off.

It may want to finish what it started.

Jimmy, I think you just need to calm down.

I think the best thing we can do is just call your sister,

get her down here

and maybe the three of us should just sit down and discuss it.

I don't want to discuss this.

I've been cursed, and something bad is gonna happen.

I can... Look, I can feel it.

Jimmy, listen to yourself.

No, no, I'm cursed by the mark of the beast.

Bo, I'm... I'm a werewolf.

Come on, Jimmy. You don't have to pretend anymore, not with me.

No, no, no. It's part of the curse. I'm appealing.

I have an unnatural sexual allure.

Yeah. Yeah, you do. I know, but...

Look, dude, I'm happy for you. You be gay. It's a good thing.

We still have to go back to our pathetic pre-cursed lives.

I'm personally okay with that.

Well, you're not in high school.

ELLIE: What happened?

JIMMY: Zipper.

You okay?

I will be.

What's wrong? You worried about Jake?

His secret's out. He had to disappear.

I don't want to talk about it, okay?

Look, I know you think he's a good guy, Ellie,

but don't forget, all of this,

everything we've been through, is because of him.

When it comes down to it, a monster is still a monster.

Jimmy, that's enough.

I guess, uh, some things never change.

Do you think you can get us some light?

Yeah. Yeah, I'll check the circuit breaker.

(ELECTRICITY ZAPPING)

Zipper?

How you doing with those lights?

Yeah, one second.

Shit.

Is everything okay down there?

Yeah, it's fine. I just...

(CRACKLING)

(CRACKLING)

Thank you!

(DOG BARKING)

(BARKING CONTINUES)

Zipper?

(CRASHING)

JIMMY: It's okay! It's just me! (SIGHS HEAVILY)

JIMMY: Sorry. I'm still working on the fuses.

It's a little dark in here. I'll be up in a minute.

(GASPS)

Jake! Ellie.

How are you, Ellie?

Jake, something's wrong.

I'm... (GROANS)

Oh.

(SHUSHES) It'll be okay.

Just breathe. You'll be okay.

What's happening to me?

It's starting, Ellie.

It's almost midnight.

Oh, no. No. This can't happen, Jake.

Ellie. Ellie, shh. It's okay.

You're gonna be okay. I came back for you.

I have to stop it. You have to help me stop it!

Ellie, it's not really that simple,

but you have nothing to worry about.

This is how we can be together.

You need this, Ellie.

You need me.

(GROANS) (GLASS BREAKING)

I thought you said it could be controlled. You don't have to worry.

I can teach you how to live with this.

And we have years to figure it out.

So, that's your answer?

We live happily ever after?

There's no reason why we can't now.

(SCREECHING) (GRUNTING)

(CRACKLING AND GURGLING)

JAKE: Think about it.

Your parents are dead, your brother is miserable, your life is a mess.

Why do you think it is that you fell for me so hard and so fast?

I gave you a reason to live again, Ellie.

And I can still do that for you.

Jake, I don't want this.

It's the only way that we can be together, Ellie.

Then I don't want you.

Tell me how to get rid of it!

Tell me how!

The only way you can break the curse

is for the one who started it all to die,

and that's me.

I'm not ready to die just yet.

I can't let my brother live like this.

You know I have to think of him first.

(GROANS)

I know.

And I bet you promised your parents

that you'd give him a good life, didn't you?

But you know what, Ellie?

You're really not doing a very good job, are you?

In fact, you're kind of a disaster.

Get away from me!

(GROANS)

Look, I don't want you to worry about your brother, okay?

After all, there's only room for one alpha male.

And I really think we should put the poor kid out of his misery, don't you?

Where is that brother of yours, anyway?

(SNIFFS)

Now, where could he be?

In the basement?

(GRUNTS)

These heightened senses are a kick, huh?

(JIMMY BREATHING HEAVILY)

(JIMMY GROANS)

JAKE: No hard feelings, buddy.

I'll make it as quick as possible.

(JIMMY GROANS)

(GRUNTS)

(SIZZLING)

Take it easy with the silver, Ellie.

You're a monster.

(CHUCKLES EVILLY) Join the club.

(ELLIE BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GROWLS) (GROANS)

That's only the beginning, Ellie.

I should've known you couldn't handle this.

But you're too weak to think that you could survive it.

It only makes you stronger.

But you're too stupid, too timid.

(GROANS)

It comes and goes at first.

I probably should've told you that.

Unfortunately, now you both have to die.

Hey!

(CRACKLING)

(GASPS)

(ROARS)

You better run, you little shit.

I am gonna kill you.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(SIZZLING)

(PANTING)

(ROARS)

(GROANS)

(GROANING)

Like you said, what doesn't kill you...

(GURGLING)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

It's over.

Are you sure? I mean, you were a little off

on that whole "How to break the curse" thing.

Yeah, well, the books kind of glossed over that part.

Uh-huh.

We're gonna be okay.

(DOG BARKING)

Zipper.

Brooke.

What are you doing here?

Hey, Jimmy. I found your dog.

He was wandering the streets.

(WHIMPERS)

How'd you know where I lived?

I told her.

(CHUCKLES)

JIMMY: You okay?

BO: Yeah. You?

I'm good, thanks.

Um... Can I walk you home?

Sure.

You coming?

Yeah. See you later.

(CHUCKLES) Nice moves.

JIMMY: It's the new me.

I'm just gonna stay here...

and, um... clean.

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS)

Come on, Zipper.

Zipper.
