DUDLEY:

No, I actually feel pretty--

Jack kicks Dudley's chair with his foot. It tips over

and lands on it's side - with Dudley in it. Dudley looks

out at the floor, helpless.

DUDLEY (CONT'D)

Ow!

(THEN)

Hey, a peanut.

Dudley tries to stick his tongue out to get the peanut.

Jack notices and kicks it away.

DUDLEY (CONT'D)

Crap.

JACK:

(INTO PHONE)

So here's what we're going to do, now.

You guys are going to pay us a visit.

And you're going to bring a "disobedience

fee," of ten thousand dollars. Cash.

And don't even think about calling any

cops. Just you guys and ten grand. And

if you don't show up in an hour - Well

then, We'll just take the fine out of

your friend's legs... Which we're going

to break with a tire iron.

DUDLEY:

(yelling to phone)

Don't bring the money, guys!

(MORE)

DUDLEY (CONT'D)

I'm a computer programmer! I don't need

my legs!

Jack considers this and turns back to the phone.

JACK:

(INTO PHONE)

His hands! We'll break his hands!

DUDLEY:

Dammit.

(yelling to phone)

Bring the money!

INT. BUD AND MAGGIE'S HOUSE - SIMULTANEOUS

Doug shakes his head at Dudley's stupidity.

DOUG:

(INTO PHONE)

We'll bring the money. Just don't touch

our friend!

INT. BIKER BAR - SIMULTANEOUS

JACK:

(INTO PHONE)

Oh, I won't touch him if you bring that

money. But if you don't, I'll be

touching him all night long. And I'll be

enjoying it.

The other bikers suddenly stifle laughter.

JACK (CONT'D)

What!? There was nothing wrong with that

one! That was tough! Those guys are

afraid of me, now. They know how much I

want 'em!

The gang laughs again.

JACK (CONT'D)

Shut up!!

The gang stops laughing, off Jack's warning glare.

Dudley looks up from the floor.

DUDLEY:

Hey can we call my cat, now? She needs

to hear my voice.

"Wild Hogs" writers first draft 7/06/05 103.

Jack looks down at Dudley, then to the other bikers.

JACK:

(TO BIKERS)

Get me more duct tape?

A biker nods and grabs another role of duct tape. He

heads over to Dudley.

DUDLEY:

Crap.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. BUD AND MAGGIE'S HOUSE - A FEW MINUTES LATER

DOUG sits in a chair, deep in thought. BOB, WOODY, EARL,

BUCK, and BUD stand with other members of the town.

MAGGIE is on a couch, sobbing into her hands.

MAGGIE:

(CRYING)

Sweet Dudley. He went there to save

everybody and now they're going to break

his hands.

DOUG:

No they aren't. We're going to get him

back.

CHARLEY:

We sure are. I'm going to call the

Highway Patrol. They'll be there in--

BOB:

No way. They said no law. We can't risk

them doing anything to Dudley.

WOODY:

Bob's right. We can call the Highway

Patrol after we get Dud back, but we

shouldn't piss these guys off while he's

still in their hands.

BOB:

I'm going to call Karen and have the cash

wired out of our savings.

WOODY:

No. No way. This is my fault. All this

is my fault. I have some money in my

severance package. We're using it.

"Wild Hogs" writers first draft 7/06/05 104.

MAGGIE:

Wait, he did this because of me. I have

a thousand dollars in tip money I want to

put in.

BUD:

I have a couple thousand in the diner

emergency fund I'll put in, too.

Doug, who has been thinking all this over, stands up from

his chair.

DOUG:

No. Nobody is paying anything.

Everyone stops and gives Doug a puzzled look. He has a

new fire behind his eyes. His suburban quietude has

transformed into something more... valiant.

WOODY:

What?

DOUG:

We're not calling the Highway patrol.

We're not gathering ten thousand dollars.

We're going over there and getting our

friend back.

CHARLEY:

I don't think that's the safest plan.

DOUG:

It's not. But sometimes you have to do

the things that aren't safe, to create a

world that you're happy being in. These

Hells Angels don't want our ten thousand

dollars. They want our dignity. They

want us to be afraid of them just like

this town is. And once they know we're

afraid, they can do whatever they want.

That's how these guys exist. That's how

they ride into this town and tear it to

pieces... Because people want to keep

their lives safe so badly, they give up

the best part about it...

Doug takes his Wild Hogs jacket and pulls it on.

DOUG (CONT'D)

.The adventure.

Doug looks at Woody and Bob. Woody smiles and pulls on

his jacket.

"Wild Hogs" writers first draft 7/06/05 105.

WOODY:

And the friends.

Woody steps over to Doug. Bob looks at them for a

moment, then finally smiles and pulls on his jacket.
