It Happens
0 ReviewsMeet Pete Jarvis. In the past 12 hours he has discovered that hsi PE teacher is a werewolf and his drama teacher is a wizard. He has also died briefly, but has returned to save the soul of the woma...
PETE, a seventeen year old boy, average height for his age, not that great a body on him, clean shaven face and black hair, is standing there talking to someone whom we can't see. Kids are moving around behind him as they would at a normal school ground.
PETE
Katie, look, I was thinking
I mean, I know you've just
Broken up with Keys and everything
But, I have got these feelings...
He stops thoughtfully for a moment.
PETE
Look, I love you, I've loved since
the moment I met you, I love everything
about you, your smile, your personality,
your outlook on life, I love everything
about you. I love you more than I've
loved anyone Else in my entire life,
and if there's a chance, one measly
little chance that you and I could
be together, please, just give me a shot.
He looks down at his feet in silence.
DAVE
(O.S.)
I think I am going to be sick.
The camera pans around to reveal that Pete is actually talking to DAVE, a guy the same age and height as Pete, blondish brown hair and is fairly good looking, not Katie after all.
PETE
Come on, it wasn't that bad.
DAVE
Oh it was great, the next time
I get pissed and you want me
to puke it all up before you take
me home to my parents, please
do that speech, should work like
a charm.
PETE
I suddenly want to cause you great
pain.
DAVE
Look, girls don't want romance and
crap. All they want, and I'm
speaking from experience here,
is just to be asked out. Take her
to the movies or something. Whatever
you do, don't give her that I love
you crap. It's enough to raise the dead.
PETE
Oh yes, I forgot about your
girlfriend. What was her name,
again?
Dave's mood suddenly changes, he's hit something that annoys the hell out of him.
DAVE
Shut up.
PETE
Oh come on, you've been going
out for three weeks, at least
tell me her name.
DAVE
So I can't remember her name,
Seinfeld nearly slept with a
woman when he did this.
PETE
Seinfeld at least knew that her
name rhyme with a female body
part. You don't know squat. In fact
you know less than squat.
Dave notices something out of view and suddenly spits out the drink in his mouth.
DAVE
Crap!!!
PETE
No, you know less than crap.
DAVE
Pete, my nameless girlfriend is
coming this way.
PETE
Really? I'll introduce myself
maybe she'll tell me her name.
DAVE
And Katie's with her.
PETE
Oh crap.
KATIE, an attractive seventeen year old girl with red hair, and JENNA, Dave's nameless, extremely attractive girlfriend, walk up to them.
JENNA
Hey Davey.
KATIE
Hey Dave.
DAVE
Hey, uh, um
Panicking he quickly looks to Pete for help. Pete grins evilly as an idea comes to him.
PETE
(to Jenna)
Dave was just telling me how
he can't get your name out of
his head. He says he loves you
more than he's ever loved ever
loved anyone else before. But he
didn't want to tell you this
because he thought it would
make you laugh.
Jenna looks taken aback.
JENNA
That is so sweet.
She jumps on a nervously looking Dave and kisses him hard and passionately on the mouth. She pulls away after a while.
DAVE
Uh, Katie, Pete was just about
to ask you something.
KATIE
Well he'd better make it quick,
I'm meeting Keys for lunch.
Pete doesn't take this too well, a great sense of depression suddenly runs over his face.
PETE
I, uh, thought you broke up.
KATIE
We did. But he apologized this
Morning and we got back together.
Pete looks down at the ground with a very depressed look on his face.
KATIE
Was there something you were
going to ask me?
PETE
(lying)
No, uh, Dave just wanted an
Excuse to make out with his
Girlfriend.
KATIE
(smiles)
Okay, see ya.
(as she walks
away)
Jenna's a lucky girl. Wish
Keys said stuff like to
me.
PETE
(under his breath,
to himself)
Yeah, whatever.
On is saddened expression change to:
EXT. STREET - NIGHT
Pete is walking down the street alone. He still looks down and is mumbling to himself.
PETE
He apologized. What kind of
guy just apologizes for trying
to sleep with her best friend.
It's unforgivable. Besides,
who wants a girlfriend like Katie
anyway.
He stops walking, and thinks about what he just said. He sits down and slumps against a nearby wall.
PETE
I do.
COOGE
(O.S.)
Whoa!!! Dude it's, Pete.
KEG
Pete? Dude, he conned the
Teacher into giving me an
A for home ec.
Pete looks up and sees two very drunken guys standing there, these are COOGE and KEG. Both hold bottles of vodka in their hands.
COOGE
Hey Pete man, what's up
man?
KEG
You look like shit.
PETE
Nothing, guys, it's okay.
COOGE
You know what you need.
(holds out vodka
bottle)
You need some water.
PETE
That's vodka.
KEG
No, man, this big hairy guy
gave it to us, he told us it
was water.
PETE
You're both pissed off your
brains and you think it's
just water?
COOGE
Hey, let me tell you a secret.
(whispers)
I don't think this is water.
KEG
I know that look. That's the girl
troubles look. I've seen that look
many times before. I've know how girl
troubles look. I've seen girls.
I....I...where was I again?
COOGE
Look man, have a drink. Relax, forget
whatever her name was.
PETE
Guys, it was Katie Pearce.
KEG
Dude!!! Way to score!!! She
is so hot!!!
PETE
Oh for crying out loud.
He grabs Cooge's vodka bottle and takes a big swig out of it.
INT. PARTY
The entire football team, wearing jerseys and all, surround Pete who has now got a funnel in his mouth which Cooge and Keg are pouring a bottle of Wild Turkey into.
ALL
Skull!!! Skull!!! Skull!!!
The bottle of Wild Turkey they are pouring into the funnel comes up empty. The crowd screams praise, Pete throws the funnel away, and stands up, pissed off his brain.
PETE
I am the turkey king!!!!
FOOTBALLLER#1
Hail the turkey king!!!
COOGE
The turkey king who screwed
Katie Pearce!!!
PETE
I didn't screw her!!!! I just
love her man!!!!
FOOTBALLER#2
I know what you mean, I'd love
to screw Katie as well.
PETE
Would you wankers shut the hell
up, I didn't screw her already.
The football team stops dead.
FOOTBALLER#1
What did you call us?
PETE
Aw, crap.
FOOTBALLER#3
Death to the turkey king!!!
PETE
Wait, guys, I can explain.
The football team charge at Pete, he tries to make a run for it but is too drunk and stumbles over a nearby coffee table, he falls forward, landing at the foot of two very distinctive black boots. There is a shout of the football teams as they run towards him. Pete looks at the dark figure, it looks back down at him, it's eyes glow red and it snarls revealing it's vampire teeth. Spikes shoot out from the end of it's fingers. BLACK OUT.
INT. DAVE'S BEDROOM
The digital display on the alarm clock reads 7:00am. It suddenly starts to ring. Dave groans underneath the covers of his bed, and a hand comes and hits the top of the alarm clock stopping the ringing. Slowly and tiredly he climbs out of bed. He rubs his neck where we notice two puncture marks. Yawning he walks out of his bedroom.
INT. DAVE'S BATHROOM
Still in his tired state he turns on the cold tap and rubs water on his face, as he does this he looks in the mirror and sees Pete standing there. When he says he yelps and jumps around in surprise.
DAVE
What THE HELL are you doing
Here?
PETE
Well, you see, something kind
of happened last night.
DAVE
I don't care if you got laid
last night, there's still no
reason you should be standing
in my bathroom at some God
forsaken hour in the morning.
(A beat.)
You didn't get laid last night
Did you?
PETE
Laid off is more like it. Look,
have you noticed today that you
have two little puncture marks
on your neck right there?
DAVE
What the f-? So what? It's probably
just a hickey..
(searches for the words)
what's her name gave me.
PETE
This what's her name, last night did
her eyes like explode in red light,
and fangs formed in her mouth?
DAVE
What the hell are you talking about?
Look, it's seven am, this is way
too early to be having a conversation
in my bathroom about things that can't
even happen.
A girl, just a few years older than Dave leans in to the room, she is drop dead gorgeous with fairly large breasts for her age.
DAVE'S SISTER
Will you shut the hell up already
Dave? What are you, schizophrenic
or something?
DAVE
Sarah, just piss off, and take
geekboy there with you.
Motions to Pete, who raises an eyebrow. Dave's Sister gives him a weird look.
DAVE'S SISTER
Wow. You've really lost it this
time, hallucinating. If Mum and
Dad find out you've been on drugs
they'll ground you for life.
Dave looks confused.
DAVE
What the hell are you talking
about? Pete's sitting right
there.
DAVE'S SISTER
Hallucinating images of your
best friend.
(pauses)
In the bathroom.
(pauses again)
And you're in nothing but boxers
and a t-shirt. I understand now.
Dave is frustrated with what she is implying and slams the door in her face.
DAVE
(to Pete)
And will you explain what in
freaking hell is going on here?
PETE
Let's see, last night I got pissed,
a vampire crashed the party and killed
everyone there. Now, when a vamp kills
someone instead of turning them into
A vampire, they come back as a spirit
which only other vamps can see. Now,
you can see me which leads me to believe
that you have been bitten recently.
DAVE
Okay, number one, vampires don't
create ghosts, that's werewolves,
number two, even if I was a vampire
then how could I by standing in
sunlight!!!
He motions to the bathroom window where sunlight is shining in.
PETE
Okay, when a vamp decides to a turn
someone into a vampire, they leave
some blood in their system after
they had a little snack. Now it takes
a full twenty four hours for this left
over blood to grow and convert itself
into vampire blood. Which means you
have one day left on earth before you
become a vampire.
DAVE
I must've gotten pissed last night
and I can't remember it.
PETE
Uh, Dave?
Pete pushes his hand into a nearby wall, being a ghost, it goes right through it.
DAVE
That doesn't prove a thing, other
than the fact that I'm insane. That's
all you are, a schizophrenic
image created by my warped mind which
is trying to cope with the fact that
I can't remember the name of my
girlfriend.
PETE
Were this much of an arsehole
before you were an undead?
DAVE
I am not listening to you. I am
just going to ignore you
completely.
PETE
You do that vampire boy, you know
I can annoy you in worst ways than
you want to imagine.
Dave rounds to the mirror and starts to pull out his toothbrush.
DAVE
Oh yeah, what's that?
PETE
(glances at the closed
door)
You know, your, uh, sister
she's pretty hot.
Dave stops dead.
DAVE
What?
PETE
Your sister, she's quite the
looker.
DAVE
No, shut up. I do not need that
image in my head.
PETE
Well, if I am a figment of your
imagination, then that means you're
currently contemplating seeing
your sister naked.
(pauses)
And if I'm the real deal, then
your best friend is about to see
your sister naked.
Smiling at this, he steps through the closed door. Dave stays frozen to the stop, thinking about this for a moment. He looks at the door nervously, then looks back at the floor, still not moving. He shakes his head and relaxes, and continues to do his regular bathroom duties.
PETE
(O.S.)
Whoa!!! You should see these melons
man!!!
INT. DAVE'S SISTER'S BEDROOM
Dave's Sister is lying on her bed, fully clothed reading a magazine. Pete lies to next to her. The door suddenly explodes open, and Dave comes rushing in.
DAVE
Get the hell away from my sister.
Dave's Sister doesn't react to well to this.
DAVE'S SISTER
(extremely angry)
Dave!!! What THE HELL do you're
Doing?!?!
DAVE
(ignoring her, to Pete)
Get out!!!
Pete just lies on the bed smiling.
DAVE'S SISTER
No, YOU GET OUT!!! This is MY
ROOM!!!
PETE
Hey Dave, you should see the equipment
she's got under the bed.
Dave quickly slams his hands against his ears.h
DAVE
Shut up, shut up, I do not want
to hear this about my sister.
DAVE'S SISTER
For christ's sake look what you
did to the lock on my door.
PETE
No, look at nude photos of
her in the top drawer.
Dave, trying to ignore looks in the other direction at the door, and we see the seriously smashed door frame where the lock was ripped out from. He walks over to it and looks at curiously.
DAVE'S SISTER
I am so going to get my boyfriend
to kick your arse over this.
PETE
You know, vampires have extra strength
extra, that could be used for say,
bashing down a locked door.
DAVE
(thinking himself crazy)
I gotta get out of here.
He walks out of the room.
DAVE'S SISTER
That's right!! AND GO TO A
THERAPIST!!!!
EXT. SUBURBAN STREET - DAY
Dave is walking down the street as fast as he can without running, fully dressed with a bag on his back. Pete follows at just the same speed, Dave is attempting to ignore him.
PETE
Look, you have to act fast, in about
12 hours you are going to become a
fully fledged blood sucking vampire
controlled fully by the demon within
you and you are going to kill the first
thing you lay your eyes on and call
me crazy but that probably be your
anonymous girlfriend.
(pause)
Unless of course she already is the
vamp that bit you in first place.
DAVE
You do not exist. I am not listening
to you.
PETE
Can't you see it, Dave? The demon
is already winning the battle. Normally
you would listen to what I'm saying.
DAVE
(scathingly)
No, normally I would pretend to be
listening just so you WOULD SHUT
THE HELL UP!!!!
He kicks a nearby fence which shatters upon impact. We hear the sound of a school bell ringing.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
The corridor is filled with teenagers walking to their next class, as it normally would be.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR #2
A sign up on the wall has "BOYS CHANGE ROOM" pointing one way, and "GIRLS CHANGE ROOM" pointing the other. Dave and Jenna enter the frame making out.
JENNA
(between kisses)
We should really... get to class.
They continue to kiss for a bit more.
DAVE
Why don't we just skip it?
JENNA
Sorry, I gotta go or Miss
Scott will kill me.
She kisses him again. Then walks in the direction of the Girls Change room.
JENNA
(walking away)
I love you.
He grins at this. Pete walks up to him.
PETE
Well, well, dinner taste good.
DAVE
Look, I don't care whatever the
hell you say.
PETE
Just you wait dead boy. By tonight
a sun tan will kill you, garlic will
be like poison, and silver will burn
your skin as if it were on fire.
DAVE
Your mixing vampires with werewolves
again.
He starts to walk away.
PETE
Fine then, be that way. I don't care
eat whoever you want. It's not my
problem. I'll just go watch your
girlfriend in the shower then.
He then realizes that this is a really good idea. So he steps right through the "GIRLS CHANGE ROOM" sign.
INT. GIRLS SHOWERS
Girls are showering and washing themselves, however we can only watch them from the head up. Pete emerges from the wall. Alleluia music plays over the scene. A look of pure happiness comes over Pete's face he looks up at the heavens.
PETE
Thank you.
INT. BOYS SHOWERS
Same scene as the girls showers, with the sexes changed. Dave is there, along with CHRISTIAN, a attractive boy with beefed muscles football player style, GREG, a short rather unattractive boy who is slightly overweight, MARK, a rather tall guy with bleached hair, and KEYS, a natural blonde who has the got the pretty boy look.
DAVE
Let me ask you guys a question,
is my sister hot?
GREG
If I say yes, then can I ask her
out?
MARK
Dude, this is his sister.
besides, I'm the one she should
go out with.
DAVE
Guys, this is my sister, show a
little respect.
MARK
We are showing respect. We are
pointing that she is incredibly
good looking.
DAVE
Guys!!!
GREG
So, Christian, would you screw
Dave's sister?
DAVE
Please do not answer that question.
CHRISTIAN
Haven't noticed. Unlike you guys
I have a girlfriend.
MARK
Only the hottest girl in the school.
INT. GIRLS SHOWERS
CAMILLE's head swings into frame, water dripping off her face in a truly stunning pose. We watch this for a moment, and then we zoom out. AMY, DANIELLE, Katie and Jenna are also showering.
JENNA
You girls going to that movie
night at the school tonight?
KATIE
Wouldn't miss it for the world.
PETE
Oh, and I beat you're going to
take Mr Wonderful. Mr Great.
Mr I haven't been a virgin
since kindergarten.
DANIELLE
Surprising since you're both
going to miss it.
PETE
What kind of a name for a guy
is Keys anyway?
KATIE
What are you talking about?
CAMILLE
Katie, all you and Keys do is
make out.
PETE
Yeah, makes me sick.
KATIE
We don't just make out.
INT. BOYS CHANGE ROOM
KEYS
I'm telling you all we do is
make out it's the perfect
relationship.
DAVE
My relationship's like that.
MARK
You told the girl you loved
her. Seriously bad move.
DAVE
I did not tell her I love her.
INT. GIRLS SHOWERS
JENNA
Dave said he loved me.
AMY
That is so sweet.
PETE
Oh yeah, about that.
DANIELLE
He's also lying.
JENNA
What?
DANIELLE
He is just trying to get into
your panties.
JENNA
No, he wouldn't do that. He
wouldn't.
INT. MEN'S SHOWERS
DAVE
I just told her to get her
into bed.
MARK
You're talking out of your
arse.
KEYS
I've used that line dozens
of times. In fact just the
other day, I was in the
backseat of Amy's car.
GREG
Hey Keys, have you ever
screwed Dave's sister?
DAVE
How many times do I have
to say, shut up?
KEYS
Sure, I have. Hasn't everybody?
DAVE
(anger increasing)
I believe I did say Shut up.
MARKS
Everybody who has slept with
Dave's girlfriend raise their
hand!!!
INT. GIRLS SHOWERS
A fist suddenly smashes through the cement wall from the other side. The girls scream and run away from the hole in the wall. The hand is withdrawn and Greg pokes his head through.
GREG
Whoa! Awesome!
PETE
Vampire strength. Check.
INT. SCHOOL GYM
ARNOLD, a tall, attractive man with large muscles stands steps into view in front of a uniformly dressed group of boys, a clipboard in his hand.
ARNOLD
(reading from clipboard)
McGinty!
MCGINTY
Here!
ARNOLD
Billing!
GREG
Present!
ARNOLD
Rates!
Mark burps.
ARNOLD
Rolfe!
CHRISTIAN
Here!
ARNOLD
Jarvis!
Pete enters walking through the gym wall.
PETE
I swear, if ghosts could beat
Off.
Arnold suddenly looks very confused and looks in Pete's direction. Pete however doesn't notice and continues to talk to himself.
PETE
Wait, a sec. What if I could?
I mean, do I even have
equipment?
He looks down his pants.
CHRISTIAN
Uh, Mr Arnold?
Arnold's attention suddenly snaps back to he clipboard.
ARNOLD
Sutton!!!
PAUL
Hellllo Nurse!!!!
ARNOLD
Don't be a smart arse, everybody
down on the floor and give me
twenty.
GREG
But sir-
ARNOLD
Billing, extra twenty! And
will somebody explain where
THE HELL the football team
IS?!?!?!
PETE
They would be dead. Vamp
slaughtered them at a piss
up last night.
ARNOLD
Which one of you said that?
The entire class stops dead, mid push ups and look at him.
CHRISTIAN
Said what, coach?
ARNOLD
That's it!! Fifty push ups,
and once you've finished doing
that six laps of the running
field!!!
Pete stands there leaning against the wall watching Arnold in thought.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Dave walks down it with sweat pouring off his face. Pete walks next to him.
PETE
Mr Arnold saw me. He heard me,
which proves I'm real. It also
proves that he's going to become
a vampire, which means you're
going have to kill him.
DAVE
Okay, number one, vampires aren't
real, and number two since when
do I become a vampire slayer?
PETE
Look, you can fight this thing. Just
get a cross, and some holy water and
eat some garlic, you fight this now
and you may just stop yourself from
turning. Besides the only chance in
hell I've got off moving on to
the after life is if somebody slays
the vampire that killed me. At this
point in time you're the only chance
I've got.
DAVE
Explain this to me then, if the
entire football team got killed
last night then where are all
their ghosts?
INT. PARTY
The place is a mess, pure post party state. The football team are scattered all over the room, there is also dry blood in a lot of places. Keg and Cooge are also asleep on top of a pool table.
COOGE
(waking up, hangover)
Oh, what the f-
(grabs his head)
Oh, I'm sober. This is horrible.
Keg also starts to wake up.
KEG
(hangover)
Man, what the hell. Oh god,
I think I'm going to be sick.
COOGE
What the hell? There's blood
All over my shirt.
KEG
Who the hell cut my neck?
COOGE
Dude, what happened last night?
The two try to think about this for a moment.
KEG
There was drinking.
COOGE
And...a turkey king?
KEG
Wait a minute...didn't some
guy come and kill us all?
COOGE
Nah, can't have. I still feel
alive.
KEG
My heart is racing man. No, wait
I have no heartbeat.
Suddenly he realizes this is isn't a good thing.
KEG
I HAVE NO HEARTBEAT!!!
(a beat)
No, wait, yes I do.
COOGE
Oh crap, this must be what
hell is like!!!! Permanently
hangover!!!!
They both let out a blood curdling scream.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Dave and Jenna fall against a locker making out. Dave is still covered in sweat.
JENNA
Didn't anybody ever tell you
to shower after gym?
DAVE
I did, it's just so hot today
I'm sweating like a pig.
JENNA
Are you sure you're okay?
She feels his forehead. Pete suddenly sticks his head into the picture.
PETE
What do you know, the sun is
Affecting him more today? Just
Like it would a vampire.
Dave suddenly grabs Jenna and kisses her really hard. The kiss is pretty intense. Dave growls and Jenna winces in pain, pushes him away.
JENNA
You bit me!!!
PETE
Bet you he loved the taste.
DAVE
It was an accident.
JENNA
Try not to make a habit of it.
DAVE
What time did you want me to
pick you up tonight?
JENNA
Around seven.
She starts walking away.
JENNA
I love you.
Dave looks very nervous.
DAVE
Uh, well, yeah.
PETE
If I told you her name, then
would you believe me?
DAVE
What is it then?
PETE
Jenna.
DAVE
That doesn't prove a thing.
just that somewhere in my
subconscious I knew it.
PETE
Look pal get off your arse
and admit that I am telling
the truth!!!
Dave is furious now. He grabs a nearby locker and rips it off the wall he yells in rage and throws the locker at Pete, him being the ghost it all it flies right through him and crashes into the adjacent wall.
DAVE
(sinister)
Look!! I am not a vampire.
You do not exist. Now get
the hell out of my life.
PETE
Oh, I'm quivering.
EXT. SCHOOL - NIGHT
A sign is stuck in front of the school which reads "Classics Movie Night". People are walking in the front door. Keys is there with his arms around Katie. Next to them is Dave and Jenna, hand in hand.
KATIE
What movies are they showing
here tonight?
KEYS
Hopefully my favorite movie.
DAVE
Oh yes, I'm sure they'd show
"Attack Of The Killer Bikini
Vampire Girls From Jupiter" as
a classic movie.
KEYS
(nervous)
That's not my favorite movie.
Noooo. My favorite is uh, uh..
He's panicking he glances at Katie who isn't looking very impressed.
KATIE
Didn't you say that it was
"Return To Oz" like me?
JENNA
(to Dave)
What's your favorite movie?
PETE
(falling in step)
Mallrats. Just like me.
Dave glares at him.
DAVE
Uh, "Book Of Love."
Behind him Mark laughs.
MARK
Oh, I'm sure. Right. And
my favorite movie is
"Sleepless In Seattle"
GREG
Mine's "Raunchorama"!!
CHRISTIAN
Greg?
GREG
Yeah?
CAMILLE
Shut up.
GREG
Oh isn't that sweet, they're
finishing each others sentences.
He's too busy being a smart arse to notice the wall he is walking towards and promptly walks into it. Everyone laughs.
INT. SCHOOL THEATRE
The place is packed. Principal MACKENZIE stands on the stage in front of a large movie screen.
MACKENZIE
Well everybody please be quiet.
Now, this movie night is to raise
money for the football's teams new
football jerseys. Unfortunately
the entire football team hasn't been
seen in at least 24 hours, so they
are not in attendance. However, we
shall have this night anyway. After
all the entire team couldn't have
exactly been killed now could they?
Pete turns to Dave.
PETE
Because that would never happen.
Dave growls.
MACKENZIE
May I also remind you that the idea
of this night is to watch the movie
showing on the screen. Not to try
and shove your tongue as far as you
can down your partners throat. That
means you Mr Rates. I won't have that
nonsense with you and Miss Catena
in the closet in the again.
Mark leaps to his feet.
MARK
Yeah, in my defense to that all
those rumors Michelle spread about
me being impotent are not true.
The crowd boos.
MACKENZIE
Get down Mr Rates.
Mark does so.
MACKENZIE
Well there's no point in holding
it off any longer. Without further
ado I give our movie night's first
movie. The Book Of Love.
DAVE
Aw crap.
JENNA
I thought you said this was your
Favorite movie.
DAVE
It is. That's the problem.
The lights dim.
PETE
Look, the fact that your girlfriend
Is about find to find out that
"Book Of Love" is not a love story
is the least of your problems. The
worst of your problems is the fact
that you are about to turn into a
vampire!!!
MOVIE
The Book Of Love is written in the heart
Of every horny teenager.
JENNA
What?
Dave growls again, he eyes turn blood red and shine as if they lights, he bares his teeth which shows his fangs. He roars and grabs Katie sitting next to him. She screams, he jumps into the light holding her body sucking on her neck. Suddenly we hear another type of growl, one of the doors gets blown off it's hinges and a werewolf lands there snarling, it leaps at Dave attacking him. The crowd see this and go ballistic, people start running everywhere trying to get out.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Kids are running in every direction. Mr BRAYBON, another teacher, walks through the corridors yelling orders.
BRAYBON
Everyone, get out of here!!!
Find any exit you can. Just
get out of here.
INT. SCHOOL ENTRANCE
Kids are just reaching the doors, they are thrown open to reveal the entire football team have been turned into vampires and are blocking the exit. Everything comes to a complete stop.
FOOTBALLER#1
Leaving so soon?
The kids scream and start running in different directions again.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Braybon grabs Christian who is running through the crowd.
BRAYBON
Christian! What's going on?
CHRISTIAN
The football teams been turned
into vampires they're blocking
the entrance.
BRAYBON
The school has lots of other
exits.
MACKENZIE
They're all locked.
BRAYBON
Why?
MACKENZIE
It's a school, we couldn't
unlock every door for this
evening.
BRAYBON
What about the windows?
MARK
You kidding me? The school
has double layered windows.
Jenna runs up to them. She looks as scared as hell.
JENNA
Has anybody seen Dave?
INT. SCHOOL THEATRE
Dave is fighting the werewolf on the stage, the movie being projected over him. The werewolf is upon him, he has him pinned down. Dave swings his foot up hard into werewolf's body. His vampire strength causes the werewolf go flying into a nearby wall. Dave rises up from the ground, and the werewolf attacks him again, the two roll on the ground continue to fight. While they do this we notice Katie's body lying on the ground motionless. She lifts her head, but she's now a ghost so her ghost head lifts and her human head remains still. She doesn't notice this, but she does notice Dave and the werewolf fighting. Upon seeing them she gets up and runs out the door still not noticing her dead body on the ground.
INT. CLASSROOM
Braybon is ushering people in quickly. Among these are Christian, Camille, Keys, Amy, Jenna and Danielle. One of the football vampires appears at the door snarling, Braybon slams the door shut in his face.
BRAYBON
Everybody get to the back of
the room!!!!
They hurry to the back of the classroom. Braybon raises his hand, pointed at the desks.
BRAYBON
Fulmenos, benare, venite!!
Green light bursts from the palm of his hand and all the desks in the room fly towards the doorway blocking it. Braybon exhales and smiles.
BRAYBON
You should see me do party
tricks.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
The corridor is empty and quiet. Katie is walking down it looking around. Pete enters through a wall. He notices Katie.
PETE
(relieved)
You're alive!!! Man I thought
he would've killed either you
or Jenna.
KATIE
Pete?
His face drops.
PETE
Oh, this isn't good.
KATIE
What's going on, where is
everybody?
PETE
So not very good.
KATIE
Did you see what was going
in the theatre?!?!?!?!
PETE
This is bad. This is beyond bad.
KATIE
What are you talking about?
PETE
Uh, yeah. Look could do me a
favor and just rest your hand
against that wall there?
KATIE
What?
PETE
Humor me.
She reaches out to touch the wall and her hand goes right through it. She brings it back quickly.
KATIE
Oh my god.
PETE
Like I said before. This
is very bad.
Dave and the werewolf land on the ground next to them, still fighting.
PETE
And it just got worse.
Dave and the werewolf continue to fight.
KATIE
We gotta get out of here.
PETE
You're kinda dead, there's not
much more they can do.
DAVE
Will you SHUT UP ALREADY?
The werewolf growls in triumph and throws Dave through a nearby window.
KATIE
I can't be dead this impossible.
Keys is going to be so upset.
INT. JANITOR'S CLOSET
Keys and Amy are making out.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
The werewolf is standing still with Katie and Pete watching him. His head starts to shake, he slowly begins to grow and morph, eventually he morphs into Arnold. Arnold shakes his head recovering.
ARNOLD
Ouch. That hurt.
KATIE
Uh, Mr Arnold, I can see your
...package.
ARNOLD
Enjoy the view.
PETE
You can see her?
KATIE
And I can see it.
ARNOLD
Undead tend to be able to
see other undead.
PETE
Werewolf. Right.
KATIE
Werewolf? Well somebody please
tell me what THE HELL is going
on?
PETE
Dave's a vampire, he killed you
and because he didn't turn you into
a vampire you are a ghost. You
can move on to the afterlife
when the vampire that bit you
is slain. As for werewolves, you're
on your own.
KATIE
This is too much.
PETE
Where'd everybody go?
Arnold sniffs the air.
ARNOLD
(points)
That way.
KATIE
That was a werewolf thing wasn't
it? Oh my God.
PETE
It Happens.
KATIE
You and I are both ghosts, the
PE teacher is a werewolf, your
best friend is a vampire and
all you can say to me is
"It Happens"?
PETE
It Happens.
Arnold begins to walk in the direction he pointed to earlier. Pete follows, as he walks he turns to Katie.
PETE
You coming?
She looks as though this is all too much, but starts walking with them anyway.
INT. CLASSROOM
Braybon is sitting down with the rest of the kids.
JENNA
So, you're what? A warlock.
BRAYBON
(correcting her)
Wizard.
CAMILLE
That's how you knew I cheated
on that English test.
CHRISTIAN
No, he knew because you wrote
the answers on your hand.
There is a knock from behind the pile of desks.
DANIELLE
It's a vampire. He's going to
kill us!!!
BRAYBON
I doubt it. He knocked.
DANIELLE
So?!!?!
BRAYBON
So vampires don't knock. They
bash down doors then kill
whoever is inside.
He raises his hand at door.
BRAYBON
Delos gregove finite!
Yellow light bursts from his hand and the desks turn to dust.
BRAYBON
Oops.
The door opens but doesn't have any hinges any more so it falls to the ground. Arnold is standing there, still completely naked. Christian places his hand over Camille's eyes.
DANIELLE
Mr Arnold?
JENNA
Did you, uh, know you're
naked?
ARNOLD
Yeah, Katie mentioned it.
Casually he walks in. Pete and Katie follow. Katie spot Jenna.
KATIE
Jenna, I'm so happy to see
you!!!
PETE
That's good, cause she can't
see you.
Arnold walks over to the teacher's desk and pulls open a drawer from it he pulls a pair of jeans that he dumps on top of the desk, he reaches in again and pulls out a beer which opens and starts to drink from.
BRAYBON
Where's Katie?
ARNOLD
About four feet from where
you're sitting.
CAMILLE
What?
DANIELLE
He's naked. I think I'm going
to throw up.
BRAYBON
The vampire got her then?
KATIE
Why is he talking about in
the third person. I'm right
here.
PETE
You're also very dead, and
he can't see you.
CHRISTIAN
So, why are you naked again
coach?
BRAYBON
He's a werewolf.
CHRISTIAN
A werewolf?
(thinks about it)
Okay.
PETE
See, that's what I like
about Christian, he doesn't
argue, he just accepts it.
CAMILLE
Wait a second, don't werewolves
transform when it's a full moon?
ARNOLD
I was bitten by a werewolf and
then I was bitten by a vampire
the two bites caused me to be
able to change into a werewolf
every night and be able to control
it when I do turn.
KATIE
I can't believe this.
ARNOLD
What's that smell?
CAMILLE
What smell? Can you take your
hand away from my eyes yet?
ARNOLD
I there's someone crawling in
the air vents.
INT. AIR VENTS
Greg and Mark are crawling through the air vents. Mark is in front.
MARK
(sarcastic)
Brilliant idea Greg. Let's
go crawling through the air
vents so the vampires won't
eat us.
GREG
You've got a better idea
Einstein?
MARK
Yeah, stand and fight.
GREG
Stand and fight, my arse. It
was the entire football team
they would've kicked your arse.
MARK
No they would've kicked your
arse. My arse however would've
been nice and safe.
GREG
You are really beginning to
bug my arse.
MARK
Greg, everything bugs your arse
because your arse has it's own
gravitational pull.
GREG
That's it, I am going to...
He stops as he notices as the air vent is beginning to crack.
MARK
You're going to what?
GREG
Uh, Mark?
The air vent breaks.
INT. GYM
The air vent running across the roof of the gym breaks and Mark and Greg start falling with it. They are both yelling through all of this. The air vent crashes to the ground. There is a moment of silence.
GREG
Mark? Are you dead?
MARK
No, the vampire broke my fall.
GREG
That's good. I 'spose.
MARK
Hey, I killed a vampire.
GREG
No, no, no. I killed a vampire.
MARK
How the hell did you kill
The vampire?
GREG
Maybe I suffocated him with my
arse which has it's gravitational
pull.
MARK
You couldn't kill a vampire if
your mum's life depended on it.
GREG
What the hell would you know?
MARK
I know because I screwed your
mum!!!
GREG
That's it!!! I am going to kick
your arse!!!
MARK
Go ahead and try it.
The metal from the air vent starts to move as the vampire under it pushes it away. Mark and Greg are oblivious to this.
GREG
That's what I said to your
girlfriend when she saw my
manhood!!!
MARK
That's impossible, not even
an ant could see your manhood!!
The vampire stands up watching them curiously.
GREG
At least I don't screw ants!!!
MARK
Neither do I!!!!
The vampire taps Greg on shoulder. Greg spins around to face him.
GREG
PISS OFF!!!!
Then Greg realizes who it is.
GREG
Oh. Crap.
The vampire grabs Greg and bites his neck.
MARK
Don't worry Greg!!! I'll
save you!!!
(thinks for a moment)
Who am I kidding. So long,
buddy.
He goes to make a run for it but instead bumps into three other vampires.
MARK
Oh, hi guys, why don't you
feast on Greg over there.
One of them vampires clamps down his hand on Mark's shoulder.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Braybon, Arnold are walking down it with Pete, Katie and the rest of the kids from the classroom. Arnold is now the wearing the pants he pulled from the drawer as well as a t-shirt.
PETE
I wish there was some way I
could have a body.
KATIE
Why?
PETE
So I could slay Dave.
KATIE
Isn't he your best friend?
PETE
Dave is my best friend. That
vampire is simply a demon with
Dave's face and memories.
KATIE
He's still got your best friend's
face, won't that be a little hard?
PETE
Not if it means saving you.
KATIE
What?
ARNOLD
There is one way.
BRAYBON
One way to what?
ARNOLD
Pete wants a body to slay Dave.
CHRISTIAN
Pete Jarvis? He flunked PE.
PETE
I got a D minus, there is a very
big difference.
BRAYBON
I'm not casting the spell, it's too
risky.
PETE
Tell him that that vampire used to
be someone I know like the back of my
and. I don't need to be able to
out fight him. I can out smart him.
besides, what have I got to lose?
Arnold comes to a stop thinking about this for a moment.
ARNOLD
He makes a pretty convincing
argument.
BRAYBON
Does he realize he only has until
sunrise?
PETE
That's all I'll need.
INT. BRAYBON'S LABORATORY
The place looks like something out of a mythology novel. A cauldron in the middle of the room, shelves lining the walls with books and potions on them. There are no windows, and the walls appear to be out of dirt. Off screen a door opens and the people from the previous scene walk in.
PETE
This room has been under
the school the whole time?
Okay, this is too freaky for
my tastes.
CHRISTIAN
Wow, when you said you were
a wizard you weren't kidding.
KATIE
I so wish I could get pissed
right now.
ARNOLD
Drinking never solves your problems.
KATIE
No but it sure helps make you
forget them.
JENNA
Okay, now why are you sprouting
off fatherly advice?
DANIELLE
I think this whole place needs to
be admitted to an asylum. Us included.
BRAYBON
Okay, now Pete, wherever you are,
I need you stand in the cauldron.
Pete walks into the cauldron, passing right through the side of it.
KATIE
Okay, this ghost thing is seriously
taking some getting used to.
Braybon picks a book of the shelf and begins leafing through it. He eventually stops at a page. Holding the book with one hand he raises his other one at Pete standing in the cauldron.
BRAYBON
Dark of night and sun of day,
make the universe work my
way.
A wind starts to pick up around the room.
BRAYBON
Give this soul a body tonight.
The rise of sun will remove this
plight.
The wind gets stronger. The other people in the room start to hold to the walls to keep themselves standing. Except for Katie who is unaffected.
BRAYBON
Feoru!! Melakay! Kadoray!
Madoo!!!
A bolt of white light leaps from his hand striking Pete, this causes Pete to go flying across the room and crash into one of the walls lined with shelves, they break upon impact and they all fall to the ground in a heap. Pushing everything that has fallen on aside he stands up and dusts himself off.
CAMILLE
I don't know what's more scary.
The fact that all this actually
happening or the fact that I
believe it.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Mark and Greg have been tied up and are being pulled along the football team.
FOOTBALLER#3
You know Mark. When I was human
your girlfriend rocked my world.
MARK
You're lying. My girlfriend's
horrible in bed.
FOOTBALLER#3
Are you hearing me? I said I
screwed your girlfriend.
MARK
Yeah, that thirty seconds must've
been sweet.
FOOTBALLER#3
That's it. I'm killing him now.
DAVE
(O.S.)
What do you know, you're still getting
off too soon.
Dave walks on to the screen.
FOOTBALLER#2
What do you know, boys? Dexter
became a vampire.
DAVE
Yeah, and how many people have
you boys eaten tonight?
FOOTBALLER#3
Well, we had a little snack on
Greg here, but we're saving the
rest for later. As for Mark, seems
he's got syphilis in his blood.
Taste's like crap.
PETE
(O.S.)
Hey, dip shits.
All the vampires stop and look in the direction of Pete's voice.
DAVE
Ignore him boys. That little wuss
there's a ghost he can't hurt us.
An arrow lands in Dave's shoulder.
DAVE
Then again maybe he can.
FOOTBALLER#3
Let's get him.
PETE
Oh, I'm so scared the impotent
patrol's gonna get me, oh please,
I've seen dogs fight better than
you guy do.
FOOTBALLER#3
Let's get him.
They drop the ropes and start running in Pete's direction. Pete drops the bow he is holding and makes a run for it.
INT. ANOTHER SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Pete is running down it talking to himself.
PETE
Oh yeah brilliant plan, let's
give them live bait to run after
so they can try and eat me. I
could've got a weapon before trying
to do this. Probably would've been
a smarter idea, but noooo.
He runs head on into Mackenzie and they both fall to the ground.
MACKENZIE
Mr Jarvis, what in the blazes
are you still doing in the school?
PETE
Well originally it was to stop Dave.
MACKENZIE
And now?
DAVE
There's our dinner.
PETE
Well now the plan is to stay alive.
The two both make a run for it in separate directions.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Mark and Greg are lying on the ground tied up.
GREG
Um, could somebody please untie
us.
MARK
Shut up, or the vampires will come
and get us.
GREG
Oh yeah because staying here is going
to save us.
MARK
They're not going to eat us, they're
too busy eating Pete. Don't you see?
He's our decoy.
GREG
So how are we going to get out of here
then?
INT. SCHOOL CAFETERIA
The place is dark and empty, Dave runs in and stops.
DAVE
Come out, come out, wherever
you are. I know you're here
I can taste it in the air.
PETE
I got a snack for you.
We focus on a garlic clove as it goes sailing through the air and lands on Dave's eye. He howls in pain upon impact and doubles over clutching his eye. While doubled over Pete comes with a fire extinguisher and bashes it over his head.
PETE
You what they say, play with
fire...
(hits him again)
...and you're going to get...
He brings up the fire extinguisher to hit him again but Dave grabs it in mid-air.
DAVE
Burnt.
He swings the fire extinguisher, Pete and all into the far wall. In pain Pete stands up, Dave walks over to him.
INSERT: Pete's squeezes the handle of the extinguisher.
Water bursts from the end of the extinguisher with such a blast it knocks Dave down. Pete picks up the extinguisher and with effort slams it into Dave's head knocking him unconscious. Triumphant he drops the extinguisher on the ground and falls down exhausted next to Dave. After a beat Dave groans. Pete stares at him disbelieving.
PETE
Aw man.
As Dave slowly begins to stand, Pete gets up and runs out of the room.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Pete slowly running down the corridor, panting and talking to himself.
PETE
Okay, I've got a killer vampire
after me, I'm trying to stop
him from eating any more people.
In the morning as long he's in
the sun he dies along with me.
So...all I have to do is get him
away from the school.
EXT. SCHOOL FOOTBALL FIELD - NIGHT
Pete, exhausted is still running, and talking to himself.
PETE
This is great. Just great. I
should've kissed Katie when I
had the chance, would've made
all this running around a lot
easier. What else could happen
tonight?
He trips and falls, landing face down, he lifts his head and sees two familiar black boots in front of him.
PETE
The vampire that killed me could
show up.
The vampire, STROPER, wearing all black and looks very sinister, swings a hand down and grabs Pete by the neck of his shirt and pulls him up to face him, lifting his body up off the ground.
STROPER
This time I'll finish the job.
He pulls out his other, spike's spring from the knuckles.
PETE
What's with the spikes? Wolverine
complex?
He pulls back his hand to slash Pete. Pete closes his eyes. Out of a nowhere a tequila bottle smashes into Stroper's head causing him to drop Pete. This surprises him and he can't believe his luck.
KEG
(O.S.)
Leave. The turkey king. Alone.
We pan around to reveal Keg standing there. Pete quickly starts to move away from Stroper.
STROPER
Or what?
We hear the sound of gunshot, and a bullet hits Stroper's shoulder.
COOGE
(O.S.)
Or you face the wrath of COOGE!!!
We pan around to reveal Cooge standing behind him. Stroper clutches his shoulder.
STROPER
(to Pete)
Don't think I'm finished with you
yet.
He leaps into the air and runs away.
PETE
What are you waiting for, shoot
him!!!
COOGE
Dude! I only had one bullet.
PETE
Look, you guys gotta get out
of here before-
DAVE
I turn up.
PETE
This is really going to be one
of those days.
Cooge points his gun at Dave.
COOGE
Don't make me use this!!!
DAVE
What are you going to poke me to
death?
He grabs the gun from Cooge's hand and begins to crush it. Smoke starts to come out from his hand and he cries out in pain.
DAVE
Damn thing's made of silver!!!
KEG
I think this is our call to make
a run for it.
They flee in separate directions. Nursing his hand Dave starts running after Pete.
INT. JANITOR'S CLOSET
Amy is buttoning up her shirt. Keys is sitting on the ground with a very frustrated look in his face.
AMY
Look, I'm sure it happens to
every guy.
KEYS
It's never happened to your
before.
AMY
That's not what I hear.
KEYS
Look...all those rumors are
wrong. Me and Katie never
did that.
AMY
I didn't say Katie told me.
Michelle did.
KEYS
Oh man. This the worst night
of my life.
The door bursts open and Footballer#3 is standing there.
FOOTBALLER#3
And it just got worse!!!
KEYS
Don't kill me, kill her.
Amy screams. The vampire starts advancing towards them when all of the sudden there is the sound of a thump and his head goes flying across the room while his body stays standing where it is. Mark stands there holding an axe.
MARK
That's for screwing my
girlfriend.
Footballer#3's body leaps at Amy.
AMY
Help me!!!!
His head looks up at them.
FOOTBALLER#3
You watch too many movies.
Only a stake through the
heart slays a vampire.
MARK
What about an axe?
He swings the axe down hard into the back of Footballer#3's chest. After a moment he explodes into dust. Everybody is silent for a moment.
MARK
(surprised)
I killed a vampire.
(impressed)
I killed a vampire.
Amy leaps up from the ground and kisses him.
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Pete turns around a corner and runs into Braybon.
PETE
We got a problem.
BRAYBON
What?
PETE
Another vampire. Vampire that
killed me in fact.
BRAYBON
He's not tall, wearing black
clothes, spikes on his knuckles?
PETE
You know him?
BRAYBON
He's name is Stroper. Things have
just gotten a lot worse. I think
I've found a spell to fix it.
PETE
Please tell me it's an all vampires
in the area explode into dust spell.
BRAYBON
It's a spell for folding time. If we
can fold it and send you back to just
before Stroper attacked the football
team and turned Dave.
PETE
You're kidding, time travel.
BRAYBON
We just need a mirror.
PETE
There's one in the theatre. I'll get
it.
He begins to walk back the way he came. Suddenly three footballers come round the corner.
PETE
Oh, give me a break.
Pete and Braybon turn to run, but discover there are three vampires also standing there.
PETE
Oh crap. Once again, not good.
BRAYBON
Thank you once more for pointing
out the obvious.
PETE
You're a wizard, can't you cast
a spell or something?
BRAYBON
I can only move inanimate objects.
PETE
Well, move that wall or something.
One of the vampires howls and smoke pours out from its back as it falls down. Standing there is Greg, super soaker in hand.
GREG
That's for telling me I'll never
make the football team.
BRAYBON
Holy water.
PETE
Let's not look a gift horse
in the mouth, and RUN!!!!
Greg continues to fire his super soaker at the other vampires, Pete and Braybon make a run for it through the gap Greg has made.
BRAYBON
Go get the mirror, meet me in my
lab!!!
INT. SCHOOL THEATRE
The place is deserted, the movie is still projected on to the screen. Pete enters the room looking around cautiously.
JACK
(on screen)
So we got older and the hormones
got bolder.
PETE
Hormones are the least of my
problems right now.
Dave steps from the shadows.
DAVE
You better believe it.
PETE
This is really turning how to
be one of those days.
Dave is hits him across the face knocking him to the ground.
PETE
Come on man we used to be the
best of buds.
Dave walks over to him and kicks him causing him to roll across the room.
PETE
Oh yeah, I'm just resting before
I kick your arse.
Dave kicks him again.
DAVE
Pete, Pete, Pete...when will you
come to realize that you are
nothing but food to me?
PETE
When you eat me.
DAVE
If you say so.
He grabs Pete from the ground, picks him up and bites into his neck. After a few seconds, he hisses and throws Pete aside, hissing and spitting.
PETE
What the-
INT. BRAYBON'S LABORATORY
Flashback sequence in black and white. In slow motion the white light that is springing of Braybon's hand strikes Pete causing him to g flying across the room into one of the shelf lined walls.
INSERT: Pete's neck crashes into a potion marked garlic juice.
INT. SCHOOL THEATRE
Dave is still hissing and spitting in the corner, a small amount of smoke rising from his mouth. Surprised and accepting this he pulls himself up from the ground.
PETE
What do you know? Sometimes God
just throws you one.
As fast as he can he begins to move towards the movie screen.
INT. SCHOOL BACKSTAGE
Pete lifts up the back of the movie screen and goes over to one of two cages filled with props and costumes. He stumbles over to a cage with a mirror adjacent to the door. He tries to open the cage door but they are held together by a chain. He looks at the chain and sees a padlock holding the door together. A set of spikes suddenly rest against his neck.
STROPER
You're right. Sometimes God just
throws you one.
PETE
Ironic that a demon talks about
God don't you think?
STROPER
I don't how you came back. I don't
really care. I'm going to kill
you quickly, and I'm going to enjoy
it.
PETE
Don't I get some last words?
STROPER
What do you think this is? Some
kind of movie?
Stroper is then mauled by the werewolf. The two fight and tear right through the movie screen. Jenna, Camille and Danielle come running up to him.
JENNA
Pete!!!
PETE
(casually)
Oh, hey.
CAMILLE
Mr Arnold told us to give you
this key.
DANIELLE
Okay, can we go now? I don't
plan on hanging around and
getting eaten.
Pete quickly unlocks the padlock and slips in. Stroper and the werewolf smash into the side of the cage. The girls scream. Continuing to fight Stroper and the werewolf move over to other side of the room. Pete slips into the cage and is about to pick up the mirror when:
DAVE
(O.S.)
Casting a spell are we?
Dave is standing at the other end of the face. The burns on his face look like they were put there years ago. A sick grin on his face.
PETE
Now how the hell did you
get in here without me
noticing?
DAVE
There's a back door which
hooks up with a passage to
the lighting booth.
PETE
Come on Dave, just let me
do this. Look at yourself,
you can't go out at the sun
silver burns you, garlic's
poisonous, and anything
blessed causes you to scream
in pain, wouldn't you prefer
to be human?
DAVE
Not a chance in hell.
JENNA
Dave, oh my god what happened
to you?
PETE
Yeah Dave, tell your girlfriend
what happened.
DAVE
Shut up.
JENNA
You're a vampire!!!
DAVE
No shit.
PETE
Hey Dave what's your girlfriend's
name again?
DAVE
Why are you doing this?
PETE
You shouldn't care. I'm going to
die, I just thought it might be
nice to piss you off one more
time.
DAVE
I'm going to kill you slowly
and painfully.
PETE
Right, so then I'll be able to
piss you off being a ghost and
all.
Pete glances up and notices a window.
DAVE
Maybe I'll keep you alive just
to torture you.
Pete grabs the padlock and clicks it shut.
PETE
There's a window up there,
come morning we're both
screwed.
DAVE
The window's tinted, won't
harm me. Besides, I can always
get out the back door.
PETE
Uh, I can out smart you...some
how.
DAVE
I'm a vampire. I can just kill
you.
Pete tries to run past him, Dave grabs him and throws him up against the cage.
PETE
(quickly)
If you kill me now, you'll never
find out the name of your girlfriend.
Dave stops.
DAVE
Why would I care abut her name?
PETE
I know you. It's bugging the hell
out of you that you don't know
it.
DAVE
Fine. Tell me it then.
PETE
It's...
(grins wickedly)
...Naomi.
DAVE
You're lying.
PETE
You're right. I am. But right now
while you're busy trying to kill
me your anonymous girlfriend has
grabbed the mirror and is walking
out of the cage as we speak.
Dave and Pete both swing around and look at the other end of the cage, Jenna is in the doorway holding the mirror. We hear a crunching sound. Dave gasps and lets go of Pete, he falls down clutching his groin.
DAVE
(gasping)
You fight like a girl.
PETE
Confucius say, man fighting for
his life abides by no rules.
DAVE
You made that up.
PETE
Pretty much.
He kicks Dave in the groin again, and grabs a pair of a pair of old medieval metal hand cuffs, he chains Dave's hands, to the cage wall, and another to the shelves that the handcuffs were on. He runs out of the cage and locks the padlock again, then runs over to Jenna who is holding the mirror.
PETE
We gotta get this to Mr Bray...
Stroper still fighting for his life with the werewolf both smash into Jenna, all three of fall over, the mirror shatters.
PETE
..bon. This-
JENNA
Is not good.
PETE
Come on, it's a worth shot.
INT. BRAYBON'S LABORATORY
Braybon is standing there with a circle of light candles. In the center of the circle is the broken mirror, Pete, Jenna, Camille and Danielle.
BRAYBON
You broke the mirror?
PETE
It was an accident.
BRAYBON
You broke the mirror?
JENNA
There were werewolves...
CAMILLE
...and vampires...
DANIELLE
...and some guy with a wolverine
complex.
BRAYBON
You broke the mirror?
PETE
I hate to put an end to your
imitation of a broken record
player, but is this going to
effect the spell?
BRAYBON
(reading)
I'm not sure. It might not,
but it might also send whoever
is going back into another
time and place entirely.
PETE
Well, I can't exactly see too
many drawbacks just yet.
BRAYBON
You're not going. I am. No
arguments, if you went back
and landed in sunlight you
would cease to exist.
PETE
Good luck then.
Braybon steps in front of the mirror.
BRAYBON
Morreh. Monbari. Monkeek.
Time that has passed and
and time that will pass.
Take through the hour glass
to the time I have in mind
through the...
(pauses)
...uh oh.
PETE
Uh oh? What do you mean
uh oh?
BRAYBON
I didn't see that before.
PETE
See what?
BRAYBON
There's a line here that says
through the unbroken reflection...
The flames on the candles all suddenly turn green.
BRAYBON
Well, this probably isn't the
best of situations.
PETE
Cancel the spell.
BRAYBON
All I have to do it get out of
the circle.
We focus on a spider as it drops on Danielle's shoulder. She
screams and bumps into Pete, Pete stumbles forward, trips falls down, in slow motion we watch as he hand knocks over one of the candles, it falls, and its flame touches the flame of the candle next to it. Everything starts to move in the normal speed, in an instant all the flames. A beam of blue bursts out from the mirror and hits Braybon, this sucks him inside the mirror and the candles go out.
PETE
Oops.
He stands up dusting himself off.
PETE
Everyone o...
(stops dead noticing
something)
...kay.
He bends down and picks up a piece of paper that looks as though it was ripped from a book.
KATIE
What is it?
PETE
A miracle.
CAMILLE
What's a miracle?
PETE
This, it's a spell to bring
someone back to life. If the
spirit re-enters it's body at
the exact moment the vampire
that killed it is slain, they'll
get brought back to life.
DANIELLE
How does this help us?
PETE
Well if we get Katie's body,
we just might be able to bring
her back.
He looks up from the page and comes eye to eye with Katie. A moment passes between them. It is broken by the sound of a police siren. They turn and look upwards. On his expression we go to:
EXT. SCHOOL CARPARK
Police cars and an ambulance pull up, and get out. Mackenzie walks up to them.
MACKENZIE
There's the body of a girl
inside and who knows how many
others.
POLICEMAN
What happened here sir?
MACKENZIE
One of those street gangs ambushed
the movie night, most of the kids
managed to find some way of getting
out but some are still inside.
INT. CLASSROOM
Pete, Katie, Danielle, Camille, Christian and Jenna are watching through the window.
PETE
This is going to cause a slight
problem.
CHRISTIAN
They're going to get her body.
JENNA
Uh, guys I think we're talking in
the wrong tense.
Outside a body in a body bag is being placed in the back of an ambulance.
KATIE
That's me in that bag.
PETE
You're quick.
DANIELLE
I'm going to go out and cause a
distraction.
CHRISTIAN
You realize this is going to be
breaking some sort of law.
PETE
Those policeman are going to go
in there guns a blazing and I
can't guarantee they aren't going
to be like lambs slaughter with
whatever vamps we have left.
KATIE
Have you seen the football team?
They aren't exactly the brightest
bunch.
PETE
Wrong tense again. The football
team are now dead.
GREG
(O.S.)
Help!!!
Greg bursts in the door to the classroom and slams it shut, and throws himself against the door, the super soaker in his hand has been snapped in two. He tosses it aside. A hand busts through the wall beside the door.
GREG
Guys, I'm out of holy water and
now the football team are really
pissed off.
DANIELLE
Are you sure pissing off the
football team was the smartest
move? Considering how easily
they beat you up.
GREG
That was only once and I put
a good fight.
Another fist slams through the wall next to him.
GREG
Okay, they nearly killed me
and they're going to do it
again, and this time they
have extra strength and pointy
teeth to help them.
Christian looks outside and gets an idea.
CHRISTIAN
I think we just got our
distraction.
EXT. SCHOOL CARPARK
A policeman is standing there waiting. Greg comes running out of the school.
GREG
Please, help, they're going
to eat me!!!
An arrow suddenly lands in the shoulder of the policeman. He looks down at this and then passes out.
GREG
I'm going to die.
Another arrow lands in the ground next to unconscious policeman.
GREG
If I'm going down, I'm going
down fighting.
He grabs the gun from the policeman's holster. He aims in the direction he came from and pulls the trigger. We then see the vampires that are chasing him. The bullet lands right in the chest of one of the Footballer's, he stops for a moment stunned and explodes into dust.
GREG
Yeah!! Now why didn't Buffy do
that?
He pulls the trigger again. The bullet hits the shoulder of another vampire.
GREG
Okay, three times a charm.
He pulls the trigger again, this time the vampire gets it in his heart and explodes into dust.
GREG
Eat dust, feel the wrath
of Greg!!
INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR
Katie enters from around the corner and checks to see if anybody else is coming.
KATIE
Okay, the coast is clear.
Pete and everyone he was with before darts out from around the corner and begin walking quickly down the passage. They walk out of view. We hear the growl of the werewolf. Everyone runs back into view and around the corner. Stroper and the werewolf come barreling into view, still at each others throats. Mark enters at the other end of the corridor, Amy on one arm and a bow and arrow in the other.
MARK
Which one do I shoot?
ALL
The vampire!!!
MARK
Got it!
He fires an arrow, it hits the werewolf in the shoulder. The werewolf falls down in pain, Stroper takes this opportunity to make a run for it. The werewolf morphs back into Arnold, arrow still in his shoulder. Everyone quickly runs up to help him.
PETE
I thought I was the guy
with perfect coordination.
MARK
Shut up Dee boy.
CAMILLE
He's hurt.
KATIE
This is like really bad movie
dialogue.
JENNA
I did an advanced first aid
course last year. I'm can look
after him but I'm going to need
some help.
CAMILLE
Well I don't exactly feel like
stealing a dead body.
AMY
Eew, dead body?
PETE
Don't knock what you haven't
tried. We have our volunteers.
Danielle?
DANIELLE
Are you kidding me?
PETE
Looks like it's just us boys
then. Mark? Wanna come steal
a dead body?
MARK
Could we get arrested?
CHRISTIAN
Probably.
MARK
I'm in!!!
Pete starts to walk away with the other guys following.
PETE
Katie, I'm gonna need your help.
MARK
(to Christian)
Should we be nervous that he's
talking to himself?
CHRISTIAN
We've been avoiding vampires,
werewolves and now we're
going to steal a dead body
and you're worried he's talking
to himself?
PETE MARK
It Happens. It Happens.
EXT. SCHOOL CARPARK
Pete, Mark, Christian and Katie are walking together when they stop.
KATIE
The ambulance is gone.
CHRISTIAN
Now what do we do?
PETE
(holds up keys)
We steal a dead body.
He walks out of view. They all suddenly look shocked at what he's doing.
MARK
We're stealing Mr Braybon's
viper?
PETE
No, we're borrowing it.
CHRISTIAN
That has to be the most over
used line in history.
PETE
Look, for all we know he's
trapped in the middle ages.
Trust me, he won't mind us
using his car. Especially
if he never finds out.
He opens up the door to the car. We focus on Stroper's boot stepping on to the tarmac. Pete suddenly looks up as he hears this, he sees Stroper standing. Spikes spring from his knuckles.
PETE
Get in the car.
MARK
Shotgun.
PETE
Just get in the damn car.
Pete pushes Mark into the car. Christian jumps in after him.
KATIE
I won't fit.
PETE
You're a ghost, trust me, you'll
fit.
Katie leaps into the car. Pete gets in quickly and starts it up. Stroper starts briskly walking towards the car.
INT. CAR
Mark sits closest to the window, Christian next to him, Katie is sitting partly in Christian, and partly in Pete.
Smash Mouth's "All Star" plays over the entire car sequence. We intercut in and out of the car as necessary.
MARK
Since when the hell do vipers
come in automatics?
PETE
Not exactly an issue, right
now.
The car goes flying backwards, and he floors it and goes forward at an amazing speed. Stroper starts running incredibly fast and is actually keeping up with the car.
Pete glances in the rear vision mirror and sees Stroper running after them, getting closer. He is driving like a mad man, zooming in between the cars. The rest of the passengers are fearing for their lives.
MARK
Do you even know how to drive?
PETE
I'll figure it out.
Stroper leaps forward, the spikes from his dig into the car.
MARK
What the hell was that?
PETE
That wasn't good.
The car drives into a tunnel. Stroper claws his way up on side of the car. With one hand he smashes his hand through the passenger side window. Mark yells, and Katie screams. Katie's scream causes Stroper to flinch.
PETE
Do it again.
MARK
Do what?
PETE
KATIE, SCREAM!!!!
Katie screams again, Stroper flinches. Taking him off guard Pete slams the car into the side of tunnel and keeps driving, everybody in the car screams, sparks fly everywhere, quickly Pete moves back on to road. Stroper is no longer on the side of the car but his spikes are still stuck on the inside of the door. Mark stares at them in fear.
MARK
Aren't they meant to turn
into liquid or something.
PETE
He's a vampire, not the
terminator. Besides, I'm
pretty sure he places them
on his knuckles, they don't
grow there!!!
CHRISTIAN
Will you watch where you're
driving!!!
The car lurches up on to the sidewalk, people scream and jump out of the way. The car then proceeds to drive back on to the road on the wrong side.
KATIE
We're going to die!!!!!
PETE
You're already dead what's
your problem.
MARK
I'm not dead, what the hell
you talking about?
CHRISTIAN
Are you sure you know the way
to the hospital?
The car is driving all over the road, it jerks speedily between two cars and lifts up on two heels. Everyone in the car yells.
MARK
Because we're gonna dir,
Christian, I forgive you
for having sex with my
girlfriend!!!
CHRISTIAN
I didn't have sex with your
girlfriend.
MARK
You didn't?
CHRISTIAN
Of course not. Then again, I was
the only person who didn't.
PETE
I didn't.
KATIE
Will you stop talking about my
best friend that way, she's
not a slut.
PETE
(turns to her)
What are you, blind?
CHRISTIAN
Dohnuts!!!!
ALL
What?
CHRISTIAN
(pointing)
DOHNUTS!!!!
We pan down from a sign that reads "CRUNCH'S DOHNUT STAND", two men are inside, CRUNCH and LARRY. Upon seeing the car driving towards them they both jump out of the way. The viper barrels into the dohnut stand sending dohnuts flying everywhere. The car stops, the engine is still running. Pete quickly leans his head out of the window.
PETE
Sorry.
The car reverses out of the ruined dohnut stand and zooms away.
CRUNCH
Larry, you're fired.
LARRY
Love you too, boss.
EXT. HOSPITAL CARPARK
The viper, now beaten up with holes all over it and scratches all over one side, pulls in over three spaces. Mark opens up the passenger door and it falls off. Everyone else gets out.
PETE
Okay, here's the plan, we
go inside get the body, and
go back to the school.
CHRISTIAN
Oh yes, we'll just walk in
and ask for it. They'll give
it to us no problem.
INT. HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM
Pete stands at the desk, the RECEPTIONIST looks up at him.
RECEPTIONIST
You want to what?
PETE
Look, you have to understand
here, it's this girl I really
like.
KATIE
You do?
RECEPTIONIST
And you want her dead body, you
know you could arrested for sick
stuff like that.
PETE
How about this, I'm actually dead
myself, I've got until sunrise when
this body ceases to exist. The only
way I can save this girl is to get
her to re-enter her dead body at
the exact moment I slay the vampire
that killed her then she'll get
brought back to life.
While he is saying this, Mark and Christian sneak through a door marked "Staff Only".
RECEPTIONIST
Have you been into a psyche ward?
PETE
You see that's the problem with the
world today, you tell the truth and
nobody believes you.
RECEPTIONIST
Okay, sir, unless you leave soon I'm
going to call security.
PETE
Katie, can you go check if the
corridor on the other side of
that door is empty?
KATIE
Why?
PETE
Just go with me on this one.
RECEPTIONIST
I could make you an important
with one of our psychiatrists
if you want.
PETE
I'm perfectly sane.
RECEPTIONIST
You're talking with thin air.
Katie sticks her head through the door.
KATIE
Coast is clear.
PETE
You know what, right no I'm
about to make a runner down
through the door marked "Staff
Only". You don't mind do you?
Quickly he walks over to the door. Katie is walking next to him.
KATIE
Okay, what brilliant plan is
this?
PETE
Look, it's a mind thing, I stay
walking calmly and quickly and as
soon as I walk through that door...
He does so.
INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR
The corridor is empty, Pete and Katie enter through the end doors.
PETE
I run like hell.
He starts to run like hell.
INT. HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM
The receptionist stands up.
RECEPTIONIST
Security!!!
INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR
Security guards burst through the door at the end of the corridor. They start running down glancing in doorways. At one day they glance in and a Pete standing in front of a photocopier in a male nurse uniform, he's facing the photocopier with his back to them.
GUARD
Excuse me sir, have you seen
someone running through here?
Pete stays facing the photocopier.
PETE
I have been here photocopying
this report all night, haven't
seen or heard a thing.
GUARD
Okay, sorry to disturb you.
He continues to his way. The door closes to reveal Mark and Christian hiding behind it.
MARK
I can't believe you got away
with that.
PETE
I've been sneaking into the movies
for years. Hospital wasn't too far
behind.
CHRISTIAN
So what do we do now?
PETE
We go and get the body.
(to Katie)
Check if the coast is clear.
She leans through the door, and then back in.
KATIE
It's empty.
PETE
Let's go.
CHRISTIAN
Okay, that's starting to bug me.
INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR
They are moving quickly and sneakily staying as close to the wall as possible. They talk in low voices.
CHRISTIAN
(imitating his
father)
What did you do tonight son?
(normal voice)
Well Dad, I fought vampires,
broke into a hospital and stole
a corpse, then I went back home
and did witchcraft.
(imitating his
father)
Good to see you've got a hobby,
and how's that girlfriend of
yours.
MARK
At least you're parents like
your girlfriend.
PETE
What are you talking about
everyone likes your girlfriend.
Male teachers, the football team,
the boy next door.
KATIE
Well you stop talking about my
best friend like that.
PETE
Maybe if your best friend controlled
her libido a little more we wouldn't
have to do.
MARK
He's doing that talking thing again.
KATIE
It's not her fault guys are sleazy.
PETE
Maybe if she stopped hanging around
with guys who didn't think twice
about taking advantage of her then
she wouldn't be called a slut.
MARK
You're telling me if she offered
you one night of hot steamy
uninhibited sex, you would turn
her down?
PETE
Number one she's drunk most of
the time she makes those offers
and number two, though she's
attractive and all but she's
not the one for me.
MARK
You're as bad as Christian and
you don't even have a girlfriend.
CHRISTIAN
So who's the lucky girl?
PETE
Not exactly in the mood to do
talk about this right now.
MARK
What are you stupid? Whose
body are we trying to steal right
now?
Pete nervously glances at Katie.
PETE
I'm not going to have this
conversation right now.
They stops at the door to the morgue. He turns to Katie.
KATIE
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the
drill.
She walks through the door and then after a moment comes running out quickly.
KATIE
Oh shit!!
PETE
What?
KATIE
My mother's in there, she's
about to identify the body.
MARK
Is he talking to us? I can't
tell anymore.
PETE
Oh shit.
CHRISTIAN
What? What's wrong?
A security guard walks around the corner.
MARK
Oh shit.
GUARD
You boys, what the hell are you
doing here?
KATIE
If this is going to work we can't
let her identify the body. It'll
raise too many questions.
PETE
Don't you think I know that.
MARK
Know what?
GUARD
Look if you don't get out of here
in five minutes. I swear to God!
MARK
Will you shut THE HELL UP?
In the heat of the moment Mark swings his fist and punches the guy in the head knocking him unconscious. Smash Mouth's "I Can't Get Enough Of You Baby" plays over the next few scenes.
CHRISTIAN
You punched out a cop.
MARK
I punched out a cop.
KATIE
He's about to show her the body.
Pete grabs the security guards gun.
INT. MORGUE
Pete bursts through the door gun in hand. He fires at the roof. The people inside, a DOCTOR and Katie's mother GAIL.
PETE
Everybody down!!!
DOCTOR
What the hell have you got
a gun in here for?
PETE
Get down!!!
KATIE
That's my mother!!
PETE
Shut up!!!
GAIL
We didn't say anything.
PETE
I don't care!!!
Points the gun at the Doctor.
PETE
Where's the body that was
brought in here as "Katie
Pearce"?
GAIL
That's my daughter's body!!!
KATIE
It's alright Mom, he won't
hurt you.
PETE
She can't hear you.
GAIL
Heartless bastard.
The doctor points to a body on a nearby trolley with a sheet over it. Pete lifts up and the sheet and peeks under.
PETE
Have you seen this body?
DOCTOR
Of course I hav...
PETE
Not you Frankenstein, the
girl.
GAIL
No.
PETE
Okay, now I'm going to take
this body and you're going
to stay on the ground for at
least fifteen minutes after I
leave the room.
GAIL
Or what?
PETE
Or my partner waiting outside
shoots you.
He starts wheeling the trolley out the door.
INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR
Pete finishes wheeling the body into the corridor. Mark and Christian are waiting.
CHRISTIAN
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Three security guards walk into the passage, two of them raise their guns.
GUARD
FREEZE!
MARK
How the hell did they find us?
CHRISTIAN
The gunshot was probably tip off.
KATIE
Think of something.
Pete points his gun at the security guards.
PETE
No, YOU FREEZE!!!
KATIE
You have got to be kidding me.
MARK
We're so screwed.
CHRISTIAN
I just like to add that I had
nothing to with these guys.
PETE
Just get that trolley out of here!!!!
GUARD
Move and I'll shoot!!!
PETE
He won't shoot.
CHRISTIAN
What makes you think that?
PETE
He's bluffing. Just get the
hell out of here!!
Mark and Christian start moving the trolley.
MARK
I'm going to die. I'm going to
die and I'm going to go to heaven
without ever having been laid.
CHRISTIAN
You've never been laid? With your
girlfriend?
MARK
Are you happy now? Half the school
has had my girlfriend and I've never
even gotten past second base.
GUARD
I AM NOT BLUFFING!!! IF THEY DO NOT
STOP MOVING I WILL SHOOT!!!
PETE
Not unless I shoot first.
GUARD
You're already going to be arrested,
you want to add assault to that
record?
PETE
Who said I was going to shoot you?
GUARD
What are you gonna do? Shoot the
gun out of my hand?
PETE
Pretty much.
GUARD
You're bluffing.
We go from the Pete to the Guard, and back. Then on Mark and Christian rolling the trolley away. At this point we hear a gunshot. Mark and Christian and look back. The guard is standing there shocked, unharmed, empty handed. The gun lies on the floor having just been shot. After a brief moment of silence.
PETE
Told you I wasn't bluffing.
He starts slowly backing away.
MARK
Now what do we do?
PETE
RUN, RUN LIKE HELL!!!
Pushing the trolley they begin to run with it. The guard is still standing there shocked, three other guards run up to him.
GUARD
Stop them!!!
The guards begin to chase after them. The guys are now running as fast as they can with the trolley.
MARK
Oh gee, brilliant plan.
PETE
You got a better idea virgin
boy?
MARK
You tell anybody about that and
I'll kill you.
PETE
Good luck, considering I'm already
dead.
The chase ensues across a number hospital corridors, at one point running down a corridor it looks they can't get past because of two beds either side of it. They send the trolley rolling between the beds and run after it. Eventually the chase ends at a dead end corridor which has a wall made of glass at the end. The guys stop in their tracks, the trolley however doesn't, the body goes rolling at an incredibly fast speed, it smashes into the window.
EXT. HOSPITAL
From the second floor we watch as the body drops from the second floor to the ground, the trolley on the bottom, the glass surrounding it.
INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR
Pete, Mark, Katie and Christian stand their staring at the broken window.
KATIE
Pete, I swear to God...
PETE
This is just a little hitch.
We hear the cock of a gun. They turn around slowly, hands in the air as the three guards have their guns trained on them.
PETE
Would you guys believe me if
I said there's a perfect logical
explanation for all of this.
INT. HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM
The guards are leading the boys through with handcuffs on. Katie walks with the, one of the guards stops at the desk.
GUARD
Look, there's a dead body on
the sidewalk outside.
The guard continues to talk the receptionist. Pete leans over to Christian.
CHRISTIAN
We're screwed.
PETE
No, this just a little problem.
KATIE
Have you seen the time? You
still have to get back to the
school, and cast the spell
before the sunrise.
PETE
(through gritted
teeth)
I'm working on it.
KATIE
You've already punched out
one guard today, can't you
do it again?
PETE
You can't punch out someone
with your hands handcuffed
behind your back.
Pete's eyes fall upon Christian's hands, which are handcuffed together in front of him. Christian meets his eyes.
CHRISTIAN
No.
PETE
Come on, we're going to get
arrested anyway.
CHRISTIAN
No.
PETE
Haven't you ever heard the
phrase if you're going to
do something wrong, do it
right?
CHRISTIAN
They have guns.
PETE
This is a hospital waiting
room. They won't fire guns
in here, too many people are
around.
CHRISTIAN
NO!
The guard at the desk turns around. Out of nowhere, Christian slams both of his hands into the guards face knocking him unconscious. The other two guards go to attack but Christian round house kicks both of them in the head.
CHRISTIAN
Run!!!!
Christian runs away with Katie, Mark and Pete following him.
MARK
How come they all seem
to have glass jaws?
EXT. HOSPITAL
Katie, Christian, Pete and Mark all coming running out of the hospital.
MARK
We'll never get the body
into the viper with these
on!!!
PETE
We won't take the viper.
Pete runs over to a nearby ambulance.
CHRISTIAN
We've already punched out a
cop, why not add grand theft
auto to the record?
PETE
It's their fault for leaving
they keys in there, come on
you're driving.
CHRISTIAN
Why do I have to drive?
PETE
Because the rookie handcuffed
you with your hands in front.
GUARD
(O.S.)
HEY YOU KIDS!!!
CHRISTIAN
Okay, okay.
Christian gets in the drivers seat, Pete and Mark jump in the back of the ambulance, the ambulance drives off.
EXT. ALLEY
Katie's body lies on the wreckage of the trolley. The ambulance pulls up, Katie, Pete and Mark jump off the back, and run over to body.
KATIE
Be careful with it this time.
PETE
Shut up. Shut up.
MARK
I'm not saying anything!!!!
They pick up their body with their hands still handcuffed behind their handcuffs, as quickly as they can they run it over to the ambulance and dump it inside.
PETE
We got it!!! Go, Go,
Go!!!
The ambulance takes off.
EXT. ROAD
The ambulance drives down it with siren blaring.
INT. AMBULANCE
Christian is desperately trying to drive with handcuffs on.
PETE
Can't you go any faster?
CHRISTIAN
Let me drive the way I wanna
drive!!!
He spins the wheel furiously to one side.
EXT. ROAD
The ambulance leaps off the road on to the grass.
INT. AMBULANCE
PETE
What they hell are you doing?
CHRISTIAN
Taking a short cut!!!
EXT. AMBULANCE
The ambulance is driving across a grassy field then into a forest like area, it whips and dives through the trees.
EXT. SCHOOL CARPARK
Beaten up and dragging branches the ambulance comes to a stop. Mark kicks the back open. Stroper is standing across from them. A beat. Pete jumps out.
PETE
You guys take the body inside,
there's a copy of the spell in
my pocket. It's pretty straight
forward.
Christian runs up to him and reaches in his pocket, and pulls out a piece of paper.
CHRISTIAN
What are you going to do?
PETE
Best case scenario, save my soul.
Worst case scenario, stall for
time.
A beat. Chrisitan looks at him then goes and starts the moving the body of the back with some help from Mark. Katie walks up to him.
KATIE
Are you crazy? He'll kill you.
PETE
Probably.
(A beat.)
Go inside, you need to be there
for them to cast the spell properly.
She looks at him for a moment then slowly starts following Mark and Christian. Pete walks up to a Stroper. There's about a three feet separating them from each other.
PETE
You want a fight? I'll fight
you.
STROPER
You fool. With your hands like
that I'll slit your throat in
a second.
PETE
Or, you cut off these off these
handcuffs, take off your spikes
and we settle this men.
STROPER
No weapons? Only a stake through
the heart can kill a vampire.
You will have already lost.
PETE
I'll see about that.
He turns around and holds out his hands. A beat. Stroper then brings down his spikes hard on the chains breaking them and freeing Pete's hands. Pete turns to face him again. Stroper puts his hands on his sides, and spikes fall to the ground.
STROPER
It begins.
At lightning speed Stroper hits him across the face sending him flying into the side of ambulance. Pete pulls himself up.
PETE
Nice right hook you got
there.
He runs at him.
INT. THEATRE BACKSTAGE
Dave is still chained up. Arnold, Jenna, Amy, Danielle and Camille are there with him. He has a bandage over his shoulder where the arrow hit him. Dave fights against the chains and snarls. Christian and Mark step through the rip in the projector screen, they are carrying the body. They put it down in front of the cage.
MARK
We got dead meat.
CHRISTIAN
And the spell.
Katie steps through the screen.
ARNOLD
Where's Pete?
KATIE
He's stalling for time.
EXT. SCHOOL CARPARK
Pete and Stroper are fighting. He swings up to kick him in the face and succeeds, but Stroper barely even flinches, he punces Pete in the stomach which causes him to fall to the ground. They continue to fight as they talk.
PETE
So, tell me, what's a vamp
like you doing in a place
like this?
STROPER
I came for the food, turning
your friends into vampires was
just a game.
PETE
Number one...the football team
were not my friends. Number
Two...how do you feel about the
fact that you're about to lose
this game?
STROPER
I'm not going to lose. When will
you humans learn we are the superior
race?
INT. THEATRE BACKSTAGE
Arnold stands up reading the spell.
ARNOLD
We need to place the body adjacent
to Dave's.
Dave growls and fights against the chains.
CHRISTIAN
There's no way in hell I'm going
in there chained up like this.
CAMILLE
I'll go.
CHRISTIAN
On second thoughts maybe I will
go in there chained like this.
EXT. SCHOOL CARPARK
Pete and Stroper continue to fight.
PETE
Superior race? You guys get
burnt by silver, garlic's
poisonous and you can't
even go outside during the
day.
STROPER
Your race is nothing but food
to us. The day will come when
vampires will rule the earth.
PETE
And then what? If we're all
dead you won't have any food.
Besides, vampires need humans
to become vampires. You're
part human yourself.
STROPER
That is where you are wrong.
My parents were vampires that
were once humans, I was not.
INT. THEATRE BACKSTAGE
The body is lying next to Dave. Christian stands inside the open cage nervously.
ARNOLD
Okay...to do this, you're going
to have hold something sharp
and pointy over his heart.
Dave fights against the chains, some props fall down, including a wooden stake. Christian picks it up.
JENNA
What does a school have a wooden
stake for?
CAMILLE
We did Dracula: The Musical a
couple of years back.
Christian kneels down and places the stake over Dave's heart.
DAVE
You'll never be able to do it
Christian. Not with your girlfriend
watching.
KATIE
Shut up.
EXT. SCHOOL CARPARK
The fight continues.
PETE
You're a full blooded vampire?
I didn't think it was possible.
STROPER
It Happens.
PETE
That's my line.
STROPER
Why are you doing this? You know
you will lose.
PETE
I'm doing it for the girl.
STROPER
You honestly think she'll like a
loser like yourself?
PETE
I had to try.
INT. THEATRE BACKSTAGE
Arnold suddenly looks alarmed.
ARNOLD
No.
KATIE
What?
CHRISTIAN
What?
ARNOLD
According to this, the vampire
has to be killed by sunlight.
CAMILLE
The sun should rise any minute
now, what's the problem?
DAVE
The windows in here are tinted,
the sunlight won't effect me.
EXT. SCHOOL CARPARK
The night is fading, the sun is slowly beginning to rise.
PETE
The sun's beginning to rise. Then
we're both screwed.
STROPER
I've been alive for a thousand
years. The sun is but a mere
obstacle to me now. Besides, there's
no chance in hell you can win.
Pete falls down. Slowly he brings himself to his feet. It is obvious he can barely stand. He glances and notices a tinted window on the side of the school.
STROPER
You don't still think you can
win do you?
PETE
No, I can't win, but I can lose.
Brilliantly.
He takes and step towards Stroper, he hits with as much as force as possible, Pete's body goes flying into the air, and smashes straight through the tinted window.
INT. THEATRE BACKSTAGE
Pete shatters the window and lands on top of the cage. Light begins to come in, sunlight starts drift inside, it falls upon Dave who howls and smoke begins to come off his body. Arnold, surprised at the recent turn events quickly looks down at his piece of paper.
ARNOLD
I call upon the power of sunlight,
which shall drive the demons
from the earth.
A very wounded Pete, rolls to the side of cage and falls down to the ground.
ARNOLD
With this demon dies may the souls
he has imprisoned as spirits be
released, and may the life that
remains in this body be transferred
to save life of one he has removed.
Dave thrashes about more than before, we can barely see his body because out of how smoke I pouring of it. One of his hands bursts into flames.
ARNOLD
At this point of death where two
worlds meet may this girl breathe
life again!!!
PETE
Katie!! Now!!!
Katie leaps inside her body, at the very instant Dave's entire incinerates in a small fiery implosion. A beat. No one speaks. Everyone is staring at Katie's body. She blinks and looks around, slowly she lifts her head and looks around.
KATIE
It worked.
Everyone smiles and relaxes. The moment of piece is destroyed instantly when a vampire leaps through the hole in the movie screen, attacking Danielle. She screams. There is a gunshot and a bullet hits the vampires back and he explodes, everyone looks at the hole in the movie screen to see Greg standing with a smoking gun.
GREG
Who da man!!!!!
Everyone laughs. Pete brings his hand up to look at it, the sunlight falling over him. The hands turns transparent and fades away. His eyes meet with Katie.
PETE
Better late than never I
suppose.
He stumbles over to her, and falls down his knees beside her.
PETE
I love you. I loved you since
the moment I met you. I love
the way you smile, your outlook
on life, your personality. I
love everything about you.
(pauses)
Now normally this would be where
I ask you out, seems kinda silly
now huh? Please, just tell me one
thing. After everything that's
happened, if things could have
difference, if there could have
been some other way...
He stops. Everyone is silent. They look at each other for moment. His entire body is transparent now, and just as it is about to finish fading away:
KATIE
(whispers)
Yes.
And Pete is gone. She looks over at Arnold.
KATIE
Is he still there? Did he defeat
Stroper?
ARNOLD'S POV
He looks up, Pete is still there, he looks Arnold in the eye and slowly shakes his head.
ARNOLD
(smiles)
Even if he didn't defeat Stroper
he must've done something right,
he's no longer with us.
Katie smiles. In the distant we hear a police siren.
JENNA
Why are the police coming back
with their sirens ringing?
Mark and Christian's eyes meet.
MARK
Oh...crap.
EXT. SCHOOL
Police cars and the press are turning up. A reporter, JODIE, stands there talking to one of her cameras, microphone in hand.
JODIE
This is Jodie Netting here at
Xavier LaCroft High where just
last night something which witnesses
can only describe as being super
natural took place.
Out of nowhere there is an explosion of green light and Braybon materializes out of nowhere.
BRAYBON
This doesn't look like yesterday.
Jodie points the microphone at his mouth.
JODIE
Sir, can you please tell me what
just happened.
BRAYBON
Uh...
The door to the school opens and Mark and Greg walk out. The press starting flashing cameras and asking questions.
REPORTER
Excuse me!! Can you tell us
your names?
Greg holds his hands in the air triumphantly.
MARK
Mark and Greg...
GREG
..THE VAMPIRE SLAYERS!!!!
The shot freezes on Mark and Greg. Caption appears: "Mark and Greg published a comic book detailing their adventures as super heroes." The shot unfreezes. Mark and Greg walk into the crowd. In another part of the crowd Keg and Cooge sit there.
KEG
I saw the whole thing!!!
COOGE
Yeah, we kicked arse!!!
The shot freezes on them. Caption appears: "Keg and Cooge attempted a daring bank robbery two years later. Their last known whereabouts was Florida." The shot unfreezes and changes to:
INT. JANITOR'S CLOSET
Keys is sitting there with his head in his hands.
KEYS
Why me?
Caption appears: "Keys was rushed hospital two hours later from an overdose of viagra. He is currently single."
EXT. SCHOOL CARPARK
Christian and Camille are kissing in front of flashing cameras. Caption appears: "Camille and Christian went on to get married and have three kids. They also bought a dog. His name is Pete."
INT. SEWERS
The places is exactly as you would assume it be. A mouse runs along the ground, come across a familiar black boot.
Caption appears: "Stroper lives."
THE END.
