They proceed.

HEROINE:

Let's move.

GOLDIE:

(to Good Guy)

I'm done drinking. That's it. Just

Church and grocery stores. Nothin'

else.

BEER GUY:

Stop it.

BARTENDER:

Hey. You noticed that no one's been

killed or maimed for awhile?

Heroine looks at Bartender. Goldie and Good Guy stop moving.

BARTENDER:

It would seem like this would be an

opportune time for something nasty

to happen. A couple of life's

peripheral characters to be... well...

offed.

Roadie turns.

ROADIE:

That's an unwise thing to say, you

know that?

BARTENDER:

Just an observation.

ROADIE:

Well, why don't you keep your

observations to yourself?

FROM GROUP'S P.O.V.

WHOOSH! SISTER BEAST #1 SWOOPS into the tunnel, right at

them.

Bartender's eyes bulge!

HEROINE:

Duck!!!

Roadie turns.

ROADIE:

What the!?

Sister Beast #1 lunges at him. He drops.

ROADIE:

Whoa!!!

WHOOSH! She flies past.

Roadie turns and fires his shotgun. BOOM!

BLAM! He hits Sister Beast #1 and she CRASHES to the ground

in the middle of the group's line, smashing the plants and

lights.

BEER GUY:

Look out!

Sister Beast #1 flaps and scratches, separating Goldie, Good

Guy, Beer Guy, and Heroine from Bartender and Roadie.

Bartender spins to shoot Sister Beast #1.

GOOD GUY:

DON'T!

HEROINE:

YOU'LL HIT US!

Sister Beast #1 goes wild. Lights shatter! Pipes burst!

Water sprays everywhere!

Heroine swings her weapon at Beast #1. It flails wildly.

Sister Beast #1 bites into Bartender's leg. He yells.

BARTENDER:

Aahhhh!!!

Beer Guy crouches on the ground and fumbles with the .38.

He aims point blank at Sister Beast #1's head.

The creature releases from Bartender's leg and backhands the

pistol. It fires into the lights.

Roadie pulls out his machete and scrambles to the creature.

Sister Beast #1 turns to feed on him.

ROADIE:

Come get a taste!

Sister Beast #1 jumps.

Roadie sticks the machete into the creature's mid-section,

rolls backwards and hoists Sister Beast #1 into the lethal

current of the busted florescent light.

ROADIE:

Take it B*tch-Beast!

Sister Beast #1 convulses off the machete, cooked.

Roadie turns and runs down the tunnel.

ROADIE:

Let's go!

HEROINE:

Wait God-dammit!

Several of the Beast's teeth are still lodged in Bartender's

leg. The Group starts to give chase to the departed Roadie.

BARTENDER:

I f***ing knew it!

INT. TUNNEL EXIT -- NIGHT

Roadie scrambles to the end of the tunnel. There is a ladder

to the surface.

INT. TUNNEL -- NIGHT

The group with the wounded Bartender move as fast a possible

to the exit.

BARTENDER:

I'm gonna shoot him if they don't

get him first.

HEROINE:

Just move!

INT. TUNNEL EXIT -- NIGHT

Roadie pulls himself up the LADDER.

He pokes up like a gopher and looks from left to right. He

sees the TRUCK.

It's covered with some sort of tarp. He fumbles with the

thick KEY CHAIN. He cautiously presses the UNLOCK/DISARM

button.

BEEP-BOOP-BEEP! MOMMA BEAST and PAPA BEAST rise from the

hood of the truck and spread their wings.

ROADIE:

(sotto)

OHH F*** ME!

ANGLE ON:

The group rushes forward, but stops when SCREECHES are heard

from the far end of the tunnel.

HEROINE:

Stop!

SIDEKICK:

What was that?

GOLDIE:

Oh boy.

Roadie rounds the corner, panicked and screaming. The

SCREECHES get louder.

ROADIE:

Go back! Go back! Go back!

Their eyes bulge as the Mother and Father Beast drop into

the tunnel and fly towards them.

They turn and madly run, stumbling, scrambling, kicking up

the mud.

BARTENDER:

Move jackass!!!

Goldie, at the head of the retreat, does his best to move

quickly as the group propels him with their momentum.

GOLDIE:

Stop pushing!

ANGLE ON:

Roadie runs. Without turning around, he pumps his shotgun

and points it behind him. BLAM! BLAM!

The two Beasts scatter.

ANGLE ON:

Goldie moves to exit the tunnel. His head pops out.

GOLDIE:

We're gonna make it --
