The Lost Boys Page #3

AND POV MOVES THROUGH THE DOORWAY OF A VIDEO STORE.

as the LOST BOYS enter aggressively.

These POV's belong to MAX, the tall good-looking friendly

owner of VIDEOMAX, a trendy video/souvenier store with

banks of TV MONITORS filled with rock and cartoon images.

Max is not happy with the appearance of the LOST BOYS

in his store, who seem only interested in causing trouble

and cruising the attractive YOUNG BLACK CASHIER. Max is

just about to deal with them, when the BUZZER SOUNDS

again, and Lucy enters with the child.

LUCY:

This boy seems to be lost.

David and the Lost Boys watch Lucy and the child. Max

is delighted to see Lucy in his store.

LUCY:

I thought maybe his parents

might be in here?

Max is just about to help Lucy when a frantic YOUNG

MOTHER comes dashing into the store.

MOTHER:

Terry... Oh, thank God... I was

so worried...

She grabs the child, effusively thanking Max and Lucy.

Max gallantly hands a lollipop to Terry as the mother

thanks them some more and leaves. Max hands Lucy a

lollipop next.

LUCY:

No, thanks.

She smiles as the Lost Boys shuffle past heading for the

door. Max speaks to David.

MAX:

I told you not to come in here anymore.

David smiles his smile and leaves with his guys. Max

sees Lucy watching him.

MAX:

Wild kids.

Outside David and the guys get on their bitchin' bikes

and peel out.

LUCY:

Oh, they're just young. We were

that age, too, once. Only they

dress better.

MAX:

You've got a generous nature. I

like that in a person. My name is Max.

LUCY:

Lucy.

MAX:

So what can I help you find tonight,

Lucy? We've got it all. Best

selection in Santa Carla.

LUCY:

I'm not looking for a tape. What I

need is --

MAX:

-- a job.

LUCY:

Do I look that needy?

24 EXT. BOARDWALK - NIGHT 24

Michael walks briskly past the rides through the crowds.

Sam has trouble keeping up as they turn down an alley.

SAM:

Where are we going?

MICHAEL:

Nowhere.

SAM:

Then what's the rush? You're

chasing that girl, why don't you

just admit it? I'm at the mercy

of your sex glands!

MICHAEL:

Don't you have something better

to do than follow me around all

night?

Then, Sam realizes that he's standing directly in front

of a GREAT SECOND-HAND COMIC BOOK STORE.

SAM:

As a matter of fact, I do.

With that, Sam walks away from Michael. And Michael

continues his search alone.

25 INT. COMIC BOOK STORE 25

Weirdness hangs in the air. Sam enters. It seems empty.

Sam begins to examine the treasure trove of comics when

he suddenly becomes aware of TWO TEENAGERS, EDGAR and

ALAN -- tough little dudes in fatigues with cold eyes --

victims of too many Chuck Norris movies. They are busy

stacking old comics on the racks from cardboard boxes.

They are the FROG BROTHERS.

SAM:

You can't put the Superman D.C.

#3400 series with the #500's...

it's a different artist.

The Frogs just look death at him, but Alan notices

something.

ALAN:

(to Edgar)

He's right.

They begin to correct their mistake, as Sam speaks again.

SAM:

And these Archies should be over

here with the Richie Rich's.

EDGAR:

Where the hell are you from,

Kryton???

SAM:

Phoenix actually and these

Bullwinkle and...

ALAN:

Just passing through Santa Carla?

SAM:

No, I'm a resident as of today

and you'll probably be seeing a

lot of me... I've been collecting

comic books all my life...

perhaps you'd like to see my

collection?

Alan looks to Edgar as Edgar pulls a comic from the shelf.

EDGAR:

If you're gonna live around here,

then here's one you don't wanna

be without.

He hands Sam a comic entitled Vampires Everywhere.

SAM:

I don't like horror comics.

ALAN:

This one could save your life.

26 EXT. THE BOARDWALK 26

Michael is on Star and Laddie's tail. He keeps pace

with her, walking a safe distance behind. She becomes

aware of him. She looks over her shoulder -- then

suddenly stops.

STAR:

Are you following me?

MICHAEL:

Well, I...

STAR:

Did you want to talk to me?

MICHAEL:

Well... yeah. Sure.

STAR:

Okay. Talk.

MICHAEL:

I just wanted to... I, uh...

Sam rushes up carrying his comic.

SAM:

Mom's here.

Laddie notices the vampire comic.

SAM:

Let's go.

STAR:

(very sweetly)

Nice talking to you.

She smiles and walks away.

27 EXT. BOARDWALK ENTRANCE - MINUTES LATER 27

Michael argues with Lucy as Sam climbs into the Rover.

MICHAEL:

It's early. Why do we have to

go home?

LUCY:

Bring your own wheels tomorrow

night and you can stay as long

as you want... well 'til eleven

thirty maybe.

MICHAEL:

I'll hitch.

LUCY:

Oh, no, you won't.

SAM:

Mom, you hitched all the way to

Berkeley once, remember?

MICHAEL:

Mom, just give me five more minutes.

Just five minutes, okay?

Lucy nods as Michael dashes off into the crowd.

SAM:

He met a girl.

LUCY:

I guess no one cares what I got

a job.

SAM:

Can we get a T.V.?

28 EXT. ANOTHER PART OF THE BOARDWALK 28

Michael rounds the turn and stops short.

Star and Laddie are surrounded by the Lost Boys. Michael

feels upstaged. The Lost Boys look his way -- but there

is nothing threatening in their expressions.

They all have motorcycles. They climb on and GUN their

engines. Star climbs on behind David, putting her arms

around him.

They ROAR away. Michael is left standing alone. Star

smiles as she disappears into the night.

29 EXT. BEACH IN FRONT OF BOARDWALK - EARLY MORNING 29

The bonfires from the previous night are smoldering in

the morning haze. Runaway kids sleep on the beach.

30 EXT. GAS STATION/SURF RENTAL/TRAMPOULINE RIDE -30

EARLY MORNING:

Michael parks his bike, as he and Sam rent surf boards

and wet suits.

31 EXT. BEACH 31

Michael carries his board under his arm as Sam drags his

behind.

SAM:

Do I have to do this?

MICHAEL:

Come on, Sam, you know before

there were malls there was 'like

the ocean.'

32 VARIOUS SHOTS32

Michael leans to "master" the art of Surfing.

He's very athletic and it doesn't take him too long to

get the hang of it.

Sam is disaster, however, and settles for watching

Michael along with the huge Santa Carla Seals who seem-

ingly applaud Michael. Suddenly he is wiped out, however,

by Greg and the Surf Nazis who surf right past him.

GREG:

My beach, my wave, dude.

Michael wipes out as the Seals applaud.

33 INT. THE VIDEO STORE - DUSK 33

Lucy's first day on the job. MARIA, the hot-looking black

cashier, shows Lucy the ropes.

MARIA:

I'd be out on the street if it

wasn't for Max. Nobody would'a

given me a job the way I looked

when I walked in here.

LUCY:

I haven't seen him all day.

MARIA:

He only comes in nights.

He's busy opening another

store in Los Gatos. Much

bigger than this one.

Lucy sees Michael and Sam drive up on Michael's Honda.

She goes out to meet them.

34 EXT. VIDEO STORE 34

Sam leaps off the motorbike. Michael GUNS the engine.

MICHAEL:

See you later.

LUCY:

I get off in another twenty

minutes. I thought maybe we'd

all get a bite together.

MICHAEL:

I'll pass.

With that, Michael peels off.
