DISSOLVE TO:

INT. POLICE STATION - LATER THAT NIGHT

DOUG stands in the darkened police station with DUDLEY,

CHARLEY, BUCK and EARL. CHARLEY looks out the window

with DOUG.

CHARLEY:

Looks like they're winding down some.

DOUG:

You think?

EXT. MAIN STREET DINER - CONTINUOUS

The Hells Angels have returned, and set up shop in the

diner, but are also flowing out onto the street. Jack

stumbles into the middle of the road, with a bottle of

tequila in his hand.

JACK:

(YELLING OUT)

Alright, Wild Hogs. We know you're in

town somewhere, 'cause you haven't

checked out of the hotel. We're a little

smarter than you thought, huh?

OILCAN:

Hell yeah we are!! Wheeew!

Oilcan smashes a beer can against his own head.

JACK:

So we're going to wait right here 'till

you show up. Weeks, if we have to.

Hell, we might just make ourselves the

"Lucas Angels." That has a nice ring to

it, doesn't it?

"Wild Hogs" writers first draft 7/06/05 86.

Jack laughs.

INT. POLICE STATION - SAME TIME

The guys watch the commotion through the window.

DUDLEY:

Crap. I was thinking of that for us.

CHARLEY:

You guys just stay in the station

tonight. No one needs to go out there

and be a hero and end up getting hurt.

DOUG:

Thanks, Charley.

Charley and the Dooble brothers look a little surprised.

CHARLEY:

Wow. So... You're not going out there?

Doug sighs in irritation.

DOUG:

(SNAPS)

Well, you're the cop. Why don't you go

out there?

Charley is visibly hurt. His lip starts to tremble.

CHARLEY:

(TEARING UP)

That's not cool, man.

Charley runs out the back door of the station. EARL

shakes his head and looks at Doug.

EARL:

You know, people have feelings. Sure, I

make comments about "chum face," here.

But that's because every time I look at

him I see parts of his brain. But nobody

has the right to hurt Charley like that.

He has both sides of his head.

Earl storms off, leaving BUCK, who was standing on his

left and hasn't heard or seen any of them leave. He

stands there, looking at Doug and Dudley.

DOUG:

(TO BUCK)

Um... They left.

BUCK:

Huh?

Buck turns and sees Earl and Charley have gone.

BUCK (CONT'D)

Son of a b*tch.

Buck hurries out the door after Charley and Earl.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. POLICE STATION - NEXT MORNING

Doug wakes up on a cot in an open jail cell. He walks

out of the cell, and over to the window.

ANGLE ON:
The Main Street Diner: The Hells Angels bikes

are still parked outside, and the bikers appear to be

passed out in various booths, chairs, and the street out

front.

BACK ON:
The police station. Dudley and Bob approach

the window.

DOUG:

They're still out there. Passed out.

BOB:

Well, I talked to Karen. She going to

fly out here, rent a mini-van, and pick

us up. We'll just ship the bikes back

later.

DOUG:

Bob, we can't leave. They'll just stay

here and keep terrorizing this town.

BOB:

So what? They can call the National

guard or something.

DOUG:

For what? To be stationed here

permanently? Because these guys will

just come back when they're gone. And

it'll be even worse.

DOUG (CONT'D)

We've created this problem, Bob. We've

got to think of a way to solve it.

BOB:

Well, Karen is really insistent she come

drive us back.

DOUG:

Tell her "no," Bob.

Bob looks uncomfortable at this thought.

BOB:

I can't do that.

DOUG:

Well, you're going to have to, Bob!

We're not going to screw over an entire

town because you're afraid of women!

Bob stands up, insulted.

BOB:

Oh, sorry I'm not brave like you, Doug!

The guy who gets injections in his scalp

so he won't go bald!

Bob storms out the back door of the police station.

Dudley looks to Doug, curiously.

DUDLEY:

You do?

Doug shrugs weakly.

DOUG:

You know, you can storm out too, if you

want.

DUDLEY:

No, no. I mean, I thought about going to

see Maggie while those guys are asleep,

but you need me right now.

DOUG:

Thanks, man.

Doug smiles and gives Dudley a squeeze on the shoulder.

Dudley is clearly disappointed, having assumed Doug would

tell him to go see Maggie. Dudley just stands there,

silent.

DOUG (CONT'D)

You okay?

"Wild Hogs" writers first draft 7/06/05 89.

DUDLEY:

(SNAPS)

You're always asking me if I'm okay!

Dudley quickly storms out of the police station. Doug

nods to himself and slumps down on an office chair.
