Cursed Page #3

We've only been seeing each other

a couple of months, you need your space.

I get it, It's fine.

Please don't do that. Don't try

to make everything OK when it's not.

Can I talk to you in private for a second?

Ellie.

That was my MO for a long time. When

anything would get too close or too serious.

I would just run away.

For...

For a variety of reasons

that I can't even begin to go into.

I don't want to do that with us. This thing,

you and me, this is special, Ellie.

and I just don't want to lose you,

so I was hoping that, maybe,

you could just bear with me

for a little while longer.

I guess I'm learning about these things

as we go along.

Well, maybe I'll finish up here

and we can go someplace to talk.

OK. Thank you, Ellie.

Well, hi, there, Remember me?

Uh...

- Jenny Tate, Becky Morton's friend.

- Right. Of course, Jenny.

- It's good to see you again, I was actually...

- Jake.

- Hi.

- Hi. Long time no see.

Sorry to interrupt an awkward moment,

but we're ready for you.

I have to go.

- Ellie.

- I'm working.

So, Becky cannot stop talking about you.

She's gonna die

when she finds out you were here.

Excuse me, I have to go.

I know it was only a couple of dates, but

Becky is really bummed you haven't called.

Next time you speak with her, tell her I'm

sorry, but I've taken myself off the market.

Now I'm nummed.

Thanks for coming,

I appreciate it, see you later.

Scott, this is Ellie Myers

from the Craig Kilborn show.

- Oh, hi, How are you?

- Hi, It's a pleasure to meet you.

I've been a huge fan of yours

ever since happy Days.

Thank you. Listen, I appreciate you

meeting me here, I couldn't bail on tonight.

It's fine.

You guys have a nice chat.

I'll be over here if you need me.

OK.

- Have a seat.

- Thank you.

Craig is so excited

to have you on his show.

I think it's gonna be

just a fabulous line-up.

You'll be going on third,

after Ashton Kutcher and Carrot Top.

- Third?

- Uh...

I thought that we would start

with a Chachi clip,

and then move on

to something from Charles in charge.

- Original.

- And, uh...

and then we could...

segue into what you're doing now.

What are you doing now?

You know, you're a beautiful girl.

I mean, you've got this aura thing

happening, l...

I just can't quite put my finger on it.

Not when you can use your whole hand.

Thank you, I think that's really

all we needed to discuss

and I'll see you in the studio.

- OK, You got it.

- OK.

Wanna finish your drink?

No, Bye.

Okey-doke.

Excuse me.

- Hey, where are you going?

- Call us!

Ellie.

Ellie, wait up.

Jake, I really don't feel well tonight,

I just wanna get home.

Be careful with this one.

He's trouble.

- Who's the leopard?

- Someone I met before I met you.

- They keep popping up, don't they?

- Ellie, that was a previous life.

Please, you gotta trust me on this.

You know what?

I think it's my turn to be weird.

I'm gonna take a cue from you

and disappear for a few days.

Ellie, people can change.

I really don't wanna get into it right now.

Close, close, close, close!

Oh, my God.

Hello? Hello? Anybody there?

Hello? Hello?

Get me the f*** out of here!

Open up!

- Hey.

- Hi.

Are you doing homework?

I'm just reading up

on how you kill a werewolf.

Silver, right?

No, you actually have to separate the head

from the heart, silver just hurts a lot.

It might not be such a bad deal.

Think about it.

increased strength, heightened senses,

an unnatural sexual allure.

When do we sprout hair and pointy ears?

It's all a little sketchy,

but maybe never, maybe tomorrow.

The experts can't really agree

on that one.

You're starting to freak me out, Jimmy.

This is fiction, Myth.

We live in reality.

Come back to the other side.

I know, I know, but the line between

fiction and fact has always been a thin one.

Don't we have enough problems? Do you

really wanna add this one to the list?

OK, here.

Check this out. Here.

It's a five-pointed star.

It's a pentagram.

It's the mark of the beast.

Jimmy, this is ridiculous.

You need...

Whoa, Jesus.

Wait, is this for real?

Last night was difficult, OK?

The wreck, the girl dying,

it brought up a lot of stuff.

- No, no, no, Ellie, don't start with that.

- I know we don't talk about it enough.

- It has nothing to do with Mom and Dad.

- I miss them too.

Your hand.

It's a creepy coincidence.

This is some pretty freaky sh*t.

Admit it.

OK, OK.

Let's put it to the test.

I bought this frame myself,

three years ago.

It's from Tiffany's.

It's sterling silver.

Now, if I'm a werewolf.

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

- It should hurt me, right?

- According to chapter four, yeah.

Go to bed, Jimmy.

It's late.

shut up!

shut up

Don't forget.

I'm working the opening of Tinsel tonight.

- I've gotta take Craig down the red carpet.

- OK.

Hello?

Hey, Jake's been calling all morning,

says he needs to talk.

Well, I don't need to talk to him,

What's with the gypsies?

Oh, it's auditions for Craig's sance

segment. What is with this new look?

- What are you talking about?

- I'm not complaining, I think you look hot.

- You're in danger.

- Excuse me?

It will come for you.

Don't let this getup fool you, I'm not a joke.

I've got the gift, I blame my mother.

Why are you talking to me?

You bear the markings of the beast.

Look, I'm not trying to freak you out,

but you've been infected. You're cursed.

You've got to sever the line of the beast.

It's the only way to break the curse.

OK, all psychics

back in their seats, please.

The beast is human too.

Don't forget that.

- And it's closer to you than you think.

- If you could just follow me.

Shouldn't you psychically know

when you're annoying someone?

Thank you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Excuse me, Miss, Get up and get out.

Look at him.

Yeah!

Oh, Brooke, hey.

- Are you stalking me?

- Maybe.

What's going on, Brooke?

You going fruit fly on me?

Actually, we were just talking,

but, if you don't mind... shoo.

Oh, you are asking for it, Abercrombie.

Come on, Bo.

You're really becoming transparent.

How about a little

identity intervention, OK?

'Cause all this internalized homophobia's

giving you away.

- You better watch your ass.

- What's going on?

I'm just giving Jimmy some pointers.

- He's here to try out for the team.

- Really? You?

Are you sure

you want to do that, Jimmy?

Oh, sure he does, coach.

I'll tell you what.

I'll wrestle him.

No, Louie, you and Jimmy take the mat.

Jimmy, suit up.

He's so dead.

- OK, limp wrist, stay away from my groin.

Take him down, Louie.

Take him down.

- Have you had enough?

- Uh-uh.

- Let him up.

- Watch his nails, Lou!

He might scratch your eyes out!

- You OK, Lou?

- All right.

- Let me take a crack, coach.

- Are you up for it, Jimmy?

Yeah.

Go for it, Bo.

- Come on, fairy, shake your dust.

- You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Come on, fag, What?

Do you like that? Huh?

Wait, no...
