Gentle Werewolf Episode 9.1

improv (67)in #gww • 7 years ago

A new comedy series about finding yourself, friendship, love, work, and play. Also werewolves.

If someone wants to fund this production, the expected cost to shoot the entire first season is <40k STEEM (it was cheaper a month ago when Steem was stronger...current market prices :P ). As an executive producer, you'd get to help us craft the final product. If you'd like to see a more formal pitch, please contact me.

In a world intolerant of howling, it’s tough to be a werewolf. Tom is jobless, a massive government conspiracy is hunting him, and sometimes his friends just don’t want puppy kisses.

Episode 9.1: Eat your Vegetables

67 EXT. KAYLA’S APARTMENT, NIGHT 67

Kayla looks at Tom, very seriously.

KAYLA
I know your secret.

Long pause.

KAYLA (CONT’D)

That you’re a nudist. I don’t mind.
I think you’re cute.

A look of relief crosses his face. Then Kayla leans forward
and kisses Tom.

KAYLA
Come to yoga tomorrow.

TOM
(Grinning madly)
I absolutely will.

68 INT. TOM’S APARTMENT 68
Chris, Tom, and Jesse are packing up a backpack with camping
supplies. Clothes, flashlights, toiletries, and other
necessities are strewn over the counter.

JESSE

This seems like a lot of stuff for
just one weekend.
TOM

Preparation is one part preparing
and two parts overpacking.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 58.

JESSE

And when do we get to meet her?

TOM

Soon? Courtney and Jacob can
describe her to you in detail, and
you can pretend you know her.

JESSE

Have her friends met you? ’Cause
that’s not fair.
TOM

Courtney’s met me, L-O-L! But
they’re really just "Yoga
acquaintances". It’s like the SoCal
version of bar buddies. But no. No
friends. It’s been just us. Romance
and cooties! I can’t stop smiling.
Slap me.
Jesse slaps him.

CHRIS

Are you bringing condoms this
weekend?

JESSE

Chris!

CHRIS

It’s a reasonable question! He’s
going away for the weekend with his
new "romance and cooties" partner.
HA! Here they are.
TOM

Lifehack! Condoms can be used to
waterproof a cell phone.

Tom snatches the package of condoms out of Chris’s hand and
throws them back into the backpack Chris had been pawing
through with a glare at Chris.
JESSE

You don’t have jerky. You must take
beef jerky when going hiking.

CHRIS

More important than condoms.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 59.

TOM

Is this a new rule? I’ve never
heard that before.
JESSE

It’s a thing. I promise.

TOM

Um, well, I’m trying to stay away
from meat.
JESSE

What? Still? Embrace your beast
like me. Speaking of which - I’m
gonna go drain the snake on a
hydrant. B-R-B.

Jesse leaves.

CHRIS

Is speaking internet slang a
werewolf thing? You’ve been
spending too much time together.

TOM

You guys ok? I haven’t seen you
since Jesse and I were naked
together.
CHRIS

Yeah. I just... It’s ok.

TOM

What?

CHRIS

We’re ok. We talked and then
yelled, and then he was a wolf and
we cuddled, and I just... decided
to be ok with it. Now... He pees on
things and that’s pretty much it.
If I’m honest, he’s happier.
Looser. He worries less. And he
hasn’t "changed" since the talk.

TOM

Me, neither, since - um... becoming
vege-terrible.
CHRIS

But... vegetarianism? Is that
really worth it?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 60.

TOM

I want to be relaxed with Kayla.
And while peeing on trees should be
fine while camping, Kayla and I
haven’t gotten to the licking stage
of the relationship yet.

CHRIS
(singing)
Cunnilingus, Fellatio! Cunnilingus

Fellatio! Cunnilingus, Fella-
TOM

Licking her face. Or any part of
her, really. The puppy gets
uncontrollable around treats.

CHRIS
(still considering
vegetarianism)
Maybe you just need obedience
training.
TOM

Maybe. I haven’t told her anything
about being a werewolf.

CHRIS
(still considering
vegetarianism)
You should tell her, so she knows
you’re crazy.
TOM

You still think we’re crazy?

CHRIS

No, not that you’re a wolf. That’s
something for your wedding day.
Tell her you’re a vegetarian! You
should be up-front about pursuing
an alternate lifestyle.

Jesse returns.

JESSE

That’s not normally what people
mean by "alternate lifestyle".

CHRIS

Jesse, please. I know a thing or
two about alternate lifestyles.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 61.

TOM

I don’t see why she’d care. She
doesn’t eat meat either.

CHRIS

Well if she thinks it’s weird---

JESSE
