The Son of Bigfoot Page #2

We have a no fighting

policy at this school.

Zero tolerance. You

fight, you're suspended.

Getting beat up counts as fighting?

A fist can't punch without

a face to receive it.

No fighting means no fighting.

Oh, and, Adam?

(SIGHS) Yes, sir?

We have zero tolerance on hats.

No hats in school.

(SIGHS)

And get a haircut.

What...

Hmm?

(FOOTSTEPS RUNNING)

(SIGHS)

- (LAUGHS)

- (GROANS)

Hey, Harrison, you got me suspended!

You should be happy. You hate school.

My dad's going to kill me.

He's got a 10 strikes policy,

and this is strike 10.

Come on, guys, you heard Principal

Jones. He said no fighting.

He said no fighting on school property.

- (GRUNTING)

- (BOYS LAUGH)

How do I look?

You look like stupid Adam.

This hat sucks.

(GRUNTING)

- Stop!

- (GROANS)

(GRUNTS) That's it, you're dead!

Come on, let's get him!

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Never gonna tell it to you

(GASPS)

Never gonna tell it to you

Wanna know, wanna

hear what you never could

Wanna know, but I'm

never gonna tell it to you

- Wanna know, wanna hear...

- (YELPS)

Wanna know, but I'm never

gonna tell it to you

Come on, get him!

Don't let him get away.

(PANTING)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Wanna know, wanna

hear what you never could

Wanna know, but I'm

never gonna tell it to you

Wanna know, wanna

hear what you never could

Wanna know, but I'm

never gonna tell it to you

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Okay, guys, come on. You've had your fun.

(LAUGHS) Don't you know how this works?

We got him, boys! (LAUGHS)

DALE:
This is the fun part.

- (BOYS LAUGHING)

- (GRUNTS) Get off me!

(LAUGHING)

(GROANS)

(BOTH GROAN)

(GRUNTS)

What the...

Oh, oh...

Come on!

(BREATHING RAPIDLY)

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

- What is happening to me?

- (BICYCLES APPROACHING)

Oh, no...

You gotta come out sometime.

Yeah, and when you do, we'll be waiting.

(FLIES BUZZING)

(GROANS) It's Friday. He

could be in there all weekend.

Are we really gonna

wait here for three days?

Nah. Forget him.

Let's go bug the goats at the petting zoo.

(GROANS)

(STRAINING)

(CLATTERING)

MAN:
Broken hearts

Breaking down

What has a start

Has to have an end

Broken kids making out

Find the start line

Was broken

from the start

- ADAM:
Were you ever going to tell me?

- (GASPS) Oh!

Adam! You startled me.

You said Dad was dead!

- Adam...

- If he's dead, why is he writing letters to you?

This one is from two weeks ago!

"Dear Shelly, I'm sorry to hear

"Adam is having a hard time at school."

- Really?

- It's not what you think.

You didn't think I'd want to meet him?

You thought you could keep him to yourself?

Adam, your dad is alive.

That's all I can tell you.

- Are you kidding me?

- I know it's hard,

but you've got to trust me.

Trust you! You're a liar!

You've been lying to me

every day of my whole life!

Adam, please...

I thought you were the

one person I could trust,

but you're just like everybody else.

Hmm.

I hate you!

Adam, no, please...

(SOBBING)

(GRUNTS)

From the start

Broken kids making out

Find their heart line

TRUCK DRIVER:
Hey, kid. You okay?

(SHIVERING) Just trying to get home.

Ain't you a little young to be hitchhiking?

I'm a little young to be

stranded at the side of the road,

catching a cold in the pouring rain.

Yeah. I guess so. How far you goin'?

Uh, Route 89.

What? Are you kidding?

That's 100 miles from here.

So can you take me?

(SHIVERING) It's getting

awfully cold out here. (COUGHS)

I don't know...

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Hey, I don't remember sayin' I'd take you.

Oh, come on. You'd hate yourself

if I died of pneumonia

and it was all your fault.

(COUGHING)

All right! Close the door.

Adam? Adam, are you awake?

Can we talk about this?

(SIGHS)

Adam?

(GASPS)

Oh, no, no, no!

Well, you don't see many

forests like this anymore.

Huh. You walk two weeks in any

direction, and all you'd see is trees.

I'm telling you, you wouldn't want

to get turned around out here, kid.

No, you wouldn't.

Well, it looks like...

Yes, it's here! This is it!

This is it?

I didn't know people

actually lived out here.

Yep, uh, home sweet home.

Home sweet home? Where's your house?

My House... My house is

over there... Backways.

Hmm.

Anyway, thanks. See ya.

Okay. Take care of yourself, kid.

Hello?

- Hello?

(YELPS)

(CHATTERING)

MAN:
If you just let go

Leave the things you know

The world

stops spinning

Where'd you go? Little squirrel dude?

Hey, wait! Come back!

That's not fair!

(SQUIRREL CHATTERING)

Oh, simple souls like us

Have been

chained up on your love

Oh, simple souls like us

Can't be

tamed for long

Walk two weeks in any direction

and all you'll see is trees.

(GRUNTING)

(SIGHS)

Wow.

Hello?

(ECHOING)

Whoo! (ECHOING)

(LAUGHS)

- (GASPS)

- (RUSTLING)

Hello? Somebody there?

This isn't funny. Who's there? (GRUNTS)

(BIGFOOT GRUNTS)

- (GROWLING)

- (GASPING)

(PANTING)

Whoa.

(SCREAMING)

FAT DAN:
She

took my dog, my house

My pickup truck

But no matter what she say

Can't take my

cowboy boots away

Whoa!

Holy cow! What in the heck was that?

(REWINDING)

Huh? Well, I'll be...

(PHONE BEEPING)

No service? Come on, you piece of junk!

(GRUNTS) Stupid smartphone!

(SONG PLAYING INDISTINCTLY ON SPEAKERS)

WOMAN ON PHONE:
911,

what's your emergency?

My emergency is I done saw a bigfoot!

I got the whole thing on my dashboard cam.

Bigfoot? Sir, this line is for

emergencies, not for prank calls.

- (LINE DISCONNECTS)

- Hello?

Hello?

Dang blame it, somebody's

got to believe me.

WOMAN ON PHONE:
National Enquirer,

how can I help you?

Don't hang up. You gotta believe me.

I'm calling 'cause I saw a real bigfoot.

Please hold, and

I'll put you through

to Hairy Monsters,

Swampthings, and UFOs.

EASTMAN:
Bigfoot?

Yes. Bigfoot.

It's a dead end. We gave up the

search for Bigfoot 10 years ago.

With all due respect, if this

thing is real, we have to have it.

It's the genetic bridge

we've been looking for.

Oh, no, no. I'm not wasting a

fortune on another wild goose chase.

Think of the hair growth

potential locked in that DNA.

No more sprays. No more toupees.

Just real hair.

Come on, Billingsley. You're a scientist.

What makes you so sure this

isn't just another hoax?

Looking at the kid in this photo,

could there be any other conclusion?

EASTMAN:
Hmm.

Is that who I think it is?

We think so.

Then I only have one more question...

Who took this photo?

So, sugar, you say you saw Bigfoot?

- Yes, ma'am.

- And it's going to be in the paper?

- That's what they said.

- Ooh! You going to be famous.

It's so exciting. Nothing

ever happens up here.

This is going to be good for business.

Huh? Oh, what's that?

What did I tell you?

- Teddy!

- TEDDY:
What?

Raise the prices!

FAT DAN:
It happened right here.

Check out them skids.

I hit the brakes so hard,
