An American Werewolf in London Page #15

DAVID:

I was dreaming again?

ALEX:

I would think so.

DAVID:

(resigned)

Yeah, I would think so, too.

Alex considers for a while, finally...

ALEX:

Do you have a place to stay in London?

CUT TO:

EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY

David and Alex walking down the street. Alex points out her

flat and leads David up the front steps. She gives him a

conspiratorial look and unlocks the door.

INT. ALEX'S FLAT - DAY

Alex enters and David follows. A small, utilitarian apartment,

she flicks on the kitchen light. David puts his backpack on

the floor.

ALEX:

The kitchen.

DAVID:

Very nice.

She proceeds to give the tour.

ALEX:

Closet.

DAVID:

Charming.

ALEX:

Bathroom.

DAVID:

Lovely.

ALEX:

The bedroom.

DAVID:

There is only one bed.

ALEX:

(makes a face)

David, perhaps you'd like to watch

the telly while I take a shower.

Alex enters the room and David whistles softly, rocking on

his heels.

INT. BATHROOM - DAY

David and Alex stand facing each other under the stream of

water in the shower.

DAVID:

It's nice to see you.

ALEX:

It's nice to see you.

MONTAGE IN SHOWER - DAY

A sequence of soap and flesh. Van Morrison's "Moondance"

plays. A montage of soapy hands on slippery skin. Thighs

rubbing thighs, arms and shoulders. David and Alex kiss again

and again and...

INT. ALEX'S BEDROOM - DAY

David and Alex in a passionate, orgasmic kiss in Alex's bed.

David pulls out and they lay holding each other. After a

moment....

DAVID:

Alex?

ALEX:

Yes?

DAVID:

Will you be here in about fifteen

minutes?

ALEX:

Of course.

DAVID:

(leers)

Good.

Alex props herself up on one elbow.

ALEX:

David, you don't honestly believe

that in reality your friend Jack

rose from the grave to breakfast

with you? Do you really?

DAVID:

I was awake and he was in my room.

ALEX:

But, David.

DAVID:

(firm)

I wasn't hallucinating.

Pause.

ALEX:

(smiles)

Tomorrow is the full moon.

DAVID:

That's good, Alex. Reassure me.

Alex begins kissing David's neck.

DAVID:

It's all right, I know I'm being

insane.

She kisses his shoulders, then his chest.

DAVID:

Okay, okay. I'm properly reassured!

Alex is now kissing his stomach, her head gradually lowers

from frame. David reaches back over his head to hold onto

the headboard of the bed.

DAVID:

(closing his eyes)

This is very reassuring. I'm feeling

very reassured.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. ALEX'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Alex is asleep holding David. David carefully lifts her arm

and gets out of bed. He is naked. He tiptoes out of the room

and goes to the bathroom.

INT. ALEX'S BATHROOM - NIGHT

David lifts the toilet seat and pees. He winces, hoping the

steady stream doesn't awaken Alex. When he's finished peeing

he goes to the sink. The medicine cabinet door over the sink

is open. When David closes it he (and the audience) is

terrified to see Jack reflected standing behind him. (Note:

This is a big scare.) Bloodied and horrible, Jack has

continued to rot and looks even worse than when we last saw

him. David chokes out a strangled cry, closes his eyes tightly

and then reopens them. Jack is still there in the mirror.

When David turns around Jack is standing in the doorway.

DAVID:

(points a trembling

finger)

You're not real.

JACK:

Don't be an a**hole, David. Come

here.

David, clearly troubled, follows Jack into the living room.

INT. ALEX'S LIVING ROOM

Jack sits down and motions for David to sit also. He does.

David's conversation is in whispers, so as not to wake up

Alex.

DAVID:

What are you doing here?
