Buffy the Vampire Slayer Page #4

ANDY:

You know, if you would spend more

time at home sleeping, you would

spend less time on the field,

sucking.

JEFFREY:

You were a bone out there today.

Anyway, I'm booked. Gonna spend

some quality time with the little

woman.

ANDY AND GRUELLER

(coughing it into their

hands)

P*ssy-whipped. P*ssy-whipped.

JEFFREY:

You guys are pathetic.

GRUELLER:

Later for you, then. I'm blowing.

Andy, you coming?

ANDY:

No, I'll hitch a ride with Jeffrey.

GRUELLER:

Okay. Later.

ANDY:

Headbutt!

Andy and Grueller bring their foreheads together with

painstaking slowness, grimacing, and barely tap heads.

ANDY:

(continuing)

Later.

Grueller walks off, head through a park.

At the same time, Pike and Benny emerge from the theater.

They pass Andy and Jeffrey and the two pairs circle each other,

almost growling, eyes locked, before pike and Benny turn and

walk off, not quite in the direction Grueller took. Buffy,

Kimberly, Jennifer and Nicole come out right after. Buffy

heads straight for Jeffrey and they kiss massively.

BUFFY:

Nice game.

ANDY:

Jeffrey, I don't mean to sound sexist

or anything, but can I borrow her?

BUFFY:

Andy!

JEFFREY:

No way. You'd get her dirty.

(off her look)

He would, honey. He's an animal.

CUT TO:

EXT. THE PARK - SAME TIME

Grueller walks through the trees, enters an enclosed clearing

of grass. He hears something, stops. Maybe his name, maybe

just the BUSHES RUSTLING. He looks about him, hesitantly.

Starts forward, stops again.

GRUELLER:

Yo! Who is that? Don't mess with

me man, I'll rip your head off.

Nothing.

GRUELLER:

(continuing)

Come on, come out here. Let's see

what you got.

RUSTLING. No one.

GRUELLER:

(continuing)

Forget this.

He turns on his heel, ready to drop all show and bolt. WALLY

BESSEL is right behind him.

Wally is a ninth grader, small, nerdy, and recently undead.

In marked contrast to the older vampire in the prologue, Wally

is freshly undead. He still has fat on his face; in fact, he

looks almost normal from afar. But his inhuman eyes and his

uncommon pallor mark him as a vampire. And the way he speaks

is unearthly. Hollow, almost detached; repeating phrases

sometimes almost as though he had never heard them before.

He smiles at Grueller.

GRUELLER:

(continuing)

Bessel! What are you doing here?

WALLY:

Hi, Grueller.

GRUELLER:

What are you grinning at? You think

I was scared?

WALLY:

Could be.

GRUELLER:

You think so?

WALLY:

Could be.

Grueller grabs Wally by his shirt collar and readily hoists

his small body up, Wally's feet dangling two feet off the

ground.

GRUELLER:

Listen, you little worm. I could

beat your head to a pulp for you,

just like I did last year, you got

that? You got that?

WALLY:

(repeating)

Got that.

GRUELLER:

Good.

He lets Wally go. Wally remains two feet in the air.

Grueller's eyes go wide.

GRUELLER:

(continuing)

What the...

Wally smiles even more broadly, quietly hissing. He has long

fangs, made somehow more grotesque by the fact that he also

has braces.

Wally's hands vise onto Grueller's head, lightning quick.

Grueller screams.

ANGLE - PIKE AND BENNY

Crossing a street, turning and listening.

ANGLE - JEFFREY'S CAR

Speeding by, everyone packed into it. Andy howls back at

Grueller, mistaking his intent. He settles back. The girls

are looking at him.

ANDY:

It's um... you had to be there.

In the front seat next to Jeffrey, Buffy winces slightly.

JEFFREY:

You okay?

BUFFY:

I... yeah, I'm okay. I'm fine.

ANGLE - THE FULL MOON

CUT TO:

INT. BUFFY'S LIVING ROOM - ANGLE ON TV - NIGHT
