INT/EXT – WEREWOLVES' LAIR – NIGHT
The full moon shines through a hole in the roof as Hannah opens it, letting moonlight flood the room.
The werewolves walk into the moonlight and begin transforming.
MRS. WOLF
Well, come on, Randy.
Randy steps into the moonlight and transforms into a werewolf resembling an Alaskan Malamute with black and white fur.
The other werewolves stare in disbelief at Randy's new form.
RANDY
What? What is it?
DANNY
Randy, look.
Danny holds a water bowl up to Randy.
RANDY
It worked. I'm a werewolf. Look at my shiny black and white fur and long bushy tail.
Randy stands on two legs and twirls his tail.
MRS. WOLF
Yep. And now that you're a werewolf, we can get to helping people.
RANDY
And I can accompany you this time.
The werewolves set out to save people.
Randy barely makes it over a wall and sees his family ahead.
He tries to catch up with them, running into the streets.
A driver almost hits Randy, just like three years ago.
A Great Dane named Eliza knocks Randy out of the way.
RANDY
Ah, a dog.
ELIZA
Are you rushing to see the big doghouse in the sky?
RANDY
Thanks for saving me, but leave me alone now, mutt.
ELIZA
What did you just call me?
RANDY
Nothing. Just stay.
ELIZA
Did you just tell me to stay?
RANDY
Sort of. Just sit.
ELIZA
Did you just tell me to sit? You'd better run along before you get hurt, Sled Dog.
RANDY
I'm not a sled dog.
ELIZA
Really? You're not an Alaskan Malamute? Then what are you?
Eliza circles Randy, trying to figure out what kind of dog he is.
ELIZA
Siberian Husky? Spitz? Canadian Eskimo Dog?
Eliza tries sniffing Randy's butt, but Randy jumps away.
RANDY
Hey. Stay away from my butt, weirdo.
ELIZA
I'm a weirdo? You're the one who knows nothing about being a dog.
RANDY
For the last time, I'm not a dog but a boy. You know, a human boy.
ELIZA
Yeah, right. What happened? Did you do a brain swap with your dog?
RANDY
No. I don't even own a dog. I hate dogs, and so does my family.
ELIZA
So you hate your species? You and your family.
RANDY
No. We love our species. None of us is a dog; we're all humans. Look.
Randy stands on two legs and puts his paws on his hips to prove he is human.
Eliza looks confused and asks if Randy is okay.
Randy falls but catches himself and stands on a fence on two legs.
RANDY
Just fine. Just like to stretch before walking.
Randy tries walking on two legs, but can only manage four legs since he is a werewolf.
RANDY
Rats.
ELIZA
Did you hit your head or something?
RANDY
No. I feel fine. In fact, why am I explaining myself to a dog?
Randy walks away, but Eliza grabs him and hides them both in an alley.
Eliza covers Randy's mouth to keep him quiet as the dog catcher's truck passes by.
The dog catcher looks around but doesn't see any dogs to catch and drives away.
After the truck leaves, Randy struggles to breathe and asks Eliza to let him go.
Eliza lets go and checks if the coast is clear.
RANDY
Thanks for saving me again.
ELIZA
You're not from around here. Are you?
RANDY
Of course I am; this is my hometown. I was born and raised here.
ELIZA
Then why are you completely unaware of cars and the dog catcher?
RANDY
So I don't get out much—big deal. Excuse me, I have some unfinished business to finish.
Randy and Eliza go in opposite directions.
Eliza jumps into a dumpster and digs for food.
Randy walks away but looks back at Eliza.
RANDY
Stupid dog.
Randy bumps into a dog and falls to the ground.
The dog turns around and glares at Randy.
DOG
You calling me 'stupid'?
RANDY
No. I didn't even see you.
Randy runs away quickly.
He runs into another vicious, snarling dog and screams.
Randy runs away before getting into real trouble.
Eliza sees Randy running scared and tackles him, pinning him to the ground.
ELIZA
Calm down. You're safe now.
RANDY
That alley was too heavily populated.
ELIZA
Duh. That alley belongs to stray dogs who have yet to be caught by the animal control officer. They hide when he's around. As do I. I've avoided the pound for years.
RANDY
Good for you. I bet you're the best there is.
ELIZA
As a matter of fact, I am. I'm too bright for the dog catchers. They've tried to catch me, but they can never succeed.
RANDY
Impressive, but my family wouldn't care. We don't worry about the dog catcher.
ELIZA
Good for you and your family.
Eliza jumps into another dumpster and begins digging for food.
RANDY
Yuck. Are you eating garbage?
ELIZA
There might be a decent meal in here.
RANDY
Well, you'll never see me eating garbage.
ELIZA
Your loss.
