BARTENDER:

Get in line!

HEROINE:

HEY! No, I'm not trusting him either,

that's why you and I will both be

going with him.

BARTENDER:

What!? I'm not going down there again!

HEROINE:

This is it! This is our only way

out! They have this place surrounded.

We go out the front, we're dead. We

go out the back, we're dead, but if

we go UNDER them... we might just

make it.

(to room)

Now, who else is in? Seven can go.

BARTENDER:

This is a bottleneck waiting to

happen.

BEER GUY:

I'm in.

HEROINE:

Anyone else?

Good Guy stands.

GOOD GUY:

(once again, full of

brawn)

I'll go!

Good Girl grabs his hand.

GOOD GIRL:

No, don't.

SMACK! Bozo SLAPS Good Guy's ass.

BOZO:

Get 'em Shirley!

Good Guy jumps and recovers to calm Good Girl.

GOOD GUY:

Just stay here, you'll be safe. I'll

be back.

Bozo moves close.

BOZO:

(winks)

I'll keep an eye on her.

BOSS MAN:

You're full of sh*t! You think I'm

gonna let you all leave the rest of

us here!?

HEROINE:

We're going to get help.

BEER GUY:

We gotta try.

HEROINE:

Anybody else?

No one budges. Grandpa and Grandma look down.

GOLDIE:

(nodding)

Yeah, I'll go.

HEROINE:

Ok. Let's see what happens.

The remaining patrons watch as the departing people prepare

for THE TUNNEL.

Roadie grabs a machete and his shotgun... he duct tapes a

flare to the end of the shotgun... Bartender loads The

Judge...

Boss Man reluctantly hands the .38 to Beer Guy.

BOSS MAN:

Watch your feet around this group.

Good Guy moves as the group proceeds.

GOOD GIRL:

I love you.

GOOD GUY:

I love you, too.

Good Guy kisses her forehead.

They move to the BASEMENT.

INT. BAR -- BASEMENT -- CONTINUOUS

The door swings open and casts a long shadow down the stairs.

Roadie winks and motions for the truck's keys.

ROADIE:

(to Bartender)

I'll take the car keys, you handle

the doors.

He hands the door keys to Bartender and c*cks his shotgun.

BARTENDER:

Don't lock this door! If we turn

back I don't want to --

TUFFY:

We'll be ready.

BARTENDER:

Right.

IN THE BASEMENT:

They make their way through the basement with their shotguns

leading the way. Creeks and cracks with every step.

BARTENDER:

You all sure about this?

HEROINE:

Follow me.

She turns and something STREAKS BEHIND HER. She doesn't

notice.

HEROINE:

Where's the tunnel?

BARTENDER:

In the corner, behind the curtain.

They move to the curtain.

The light casts a shadow of something BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

They raise their shotguns as they cautiously approach.

ROADIE:

Hellloooooooo.

Roadie moves to open the curtain with his barrel.

HEROINE:

Easy.

WHIP! The curtain SLIDES...

It's a dried animal hide on a hook. They all sigh.

BARTENDER:

Beef jerky.

BEHIND THEM, we can see TEEN BEAST rise up and spread its

massive wings. It GRIPS the ceiling, hiding.

Heroine turns. Nothing.

Bartender pulls out the keys for the tunnel door lock.

Heroine pushes some debris out of the way. Scanning the room.

GOOD GUY:

What's wrong?

HEROINE:

Nothing, just lookin'.

GOLDIE:

You feel a breeze?

SIDEKICK:

It's just cold.

GOLDIE:

Yeah... I don't know...

BEER GUY:

Keeps the kegs fresh. Don't worry

about it. This place is creepy in

the daytime, too.

Bartender's hand shakes as he tries to unlock the door.

ROADIE:

(to Bartender)

Scared?

BARTENDER:

No. You?

ROADIE:

Of course not. I fight monsters all

the time.
