Wild Hogs Page #4

DOUG (CONT'D)

That's where the big games get won. Back

here from the three--

Doug swivels, jumps up and releases the ball. It heads

towards the basket, then falls down five feet before it.

It looks more like a pass than a shot. Billy hangs his

head, humiliated.

DOUG (CONT'D)

That was a pass, dudes!

It wasn't.

Doug nods with false confidence to the kids, stands there

awkwardly for a moment, then quietly heads inside.

INT. DOUG'S HOUSE - KITCHEN - A MOMENT LATER

DOUG enters and finds KELLY. She smiles and kisses him.

KELLY:

Hey, honey. Snack?

Kelly hands Doug a sandwich bag of celery. He looks over

to the table, where Kelly has laid out Ritz crackers

covered in cheez whiz, for the kids. Doug puts the bag

of celery down.

DOUG:

I'm okay. I think I'm just going to go

meet the guys for a beer.

KELLY:

Okay. Lite beer, if you want to stick to

that diet.

DOUG:

Right. Yes. Lite beer. No carbs. Just

delicious beer... water.

Doug smiles and heads upstairs. Kelly looks concerned.

CUT TO:

INT. DOUG'S BEDROOM - A MOMENT LATER

Doug enters his bedroom and shuts the door behind him.

He sits down on the bed and lets out a long sigh.

"Wild Hogs" writers first draft 7/06/05 14.

After a moment, he gets up and walks over to the closet.

He opens it and we see: A leather biker jacket, leather

chaps, boots, gloves, a black "half-helmet," etc. For

the first time, we see a genuine smile come over Doug's

face.

MUSIC CUE:
IGGY POP'S "REAL WILD ONE (WILD CHILD)"

EXT. DOUG'S DRIVEWAY - A FEW MINUTES LATER

The garage door on Doug's house rolls open like a theater

curtain, and Doug, wearing the full leather biker getup,

idles out of the garage on a gleaming, chromed-out Harley

Davidson Fatboy. He looks around the neighborhood

cockily, smiles, then kicks the bike into gear and rides

into the street. The camera rotates around him and comes

to rest on the back of his jacket, where we see a large

patch that reads "Wild Hogs." The camera ZOOMS IN ON

THIS, and it becomes:

TITLE CARD:

MUSIC CUE CONTINUES OVER FOLLOWING SCENES:

EXT. BOB LEVENSTEIN'S HOUSE - SAME TIME

BOB creeps through the living room. From the kitchen, we

can hear KAREN, HALEY and CLAIRE screaming things at him,

about him, etc. He just tip-toes to the hall closet and

opens the door. We don't see what's in it, but see Bob

smile the same way Doug did, and...

SMASH CUT TO:

EXT. BOB'S DRIVEWAY - A MINUTE LATER

BOB, in leather biker gear, rolls out of his garage on

another shimmering Harley Davidson. He looks around

through his mirrored aviator sunglasses like a complete

bad ass. He looks down the street and spots DOUG, riding

towards him. Bob rides down the driveway and joins

alongside Doug. They nod silently to each other and tap

fists like the toughest guys in the world. We see Bob is

also wearing a "Wild Hogs" jacket.

EXT. WOODY'S HOUSE - SAME TIME

WOODY walks through the courtyard, and into a pristine

garage.

"Wild Hogs" writers first draft 7/06/05 15.

He passes by a BMW 645, several stacks of labelled moving

boxes, and finally a beautiful Harley Davidson Softail

Anniversary Edition.

A MINUTE LATER, Woody pulls onto the street on his

Harley. DOUG and BOB turn the corner and nod to him.

Woody nods back, revs his engine, and joins alongside

them.

EXT. DUDLEY'S COMPUTER-CLUTTERED GARAGE - SAME TIME

We see a garage crowded with disassembled Apple

computers, printers, and a Harley Davidson Sportster.

Out walks DUDLEY, who's biker outfit doesn't quite mesh

with his thick-lensed eyeglasses.

Dudley cockily pulls on a "Wild Hogs" jacket, kick starts

the motorcycle, presses a button to open the garage door,

and rides the motorcycle out. However, as he gets

halfway out of the garage, the garage door catches on

something, and snaps back down. It clotheslines Dudley

off the bike, which rolls down the driveway and into some

garbage cans. Dudley lays in the driveway, staring up at

the sky with a pained look on his face.

EXT. DUDLEY'S DRIVEWAY - A FEW MINUTES LATER

DOUG, BOB and WOODY ride towards Dudley's house, but find

DUDLEY sitting in his driveway with his arms around his

knees. He shrugs and motions to his motorcycle - Which

he has stood back up, but has a bent wheel and smashed

headlight. Doug and Bob take in the situation and then

look at Woody. Woody rolls his eyes...

EXT. STREET - LATER

DOUG, BOB and WOODY ride along. We see DUDLEY is riding

b*tch on Woody's bike, and Woody doesn't seem thrilled

about it. The camera pans around and we see they are all

wearing "Wild Hogs" jackets. And on this, we:

END MUSIC CUE:

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. "BYKER'S ISLAND" BIKER BAR - LATER

The guys pull up at a biker-theme bar with a motorcycle

mounted above the entrance.

"Wild Hogs" writers first draft 7/06/05 16.

Woody is obviously humiliated to have Dudley behind him,

as they park the bikes among a crowd of other bikers.

Dudley climbs off the back of Woody's bike and pats him

on the shoulder.

DUDLEY:

Thanks, Woody. I feel really safe with

you.

WOODY:

I noticed that. And if you ever lay your

head on my back when you're riding b*tch

again, I'm going to throw you into

traffic.
