Episode 5.1: A hairy night
INT. TOM'S BEDROOM
Tom's alarm goes off and the radio begins playing. We see
the view of the street from Tom's bedroom window.
REPORTER
(V.O.)
- of Sunset Ranch. How are the
horses holding up after last
night's scare?
RANCHER
(V.O.)
All accounted for, but I tell you,
they-
Tom wakes with a start and snoozes it.
INT. COURTNEY AND TOM'S APARTMENT, MORNING
Courtney is eating breakfast. Tom, clad in pajamas, comes
out of his room looking very bedraggled.
COURTNEY
So, your date went well last night!
TOM
What? No. What?
COURTNEY
You got in laaaaate. Spill.
TOM
She's YOUR friend, call her.
COURTNEY
Phones are for losers. I want to
feel like I'm THERE.
oN THE WORD "thERE", WE cut to:
INT. RESTAURANT, THE NIGHT BEFORE
A well-dressed Tom sits with Kayla (although we don't see
her face) in the outdoor sidewalk part of a bistro, and they
look over the menu. Pajama-clad Tom and Courtney are in the
background, watching.
TOM
Mmmm... bacon cheeseburger, rare.
Reveal Kayla, the woman he's sitting with.
KAYLA
Rare?
TOM
I know, "disease", but this place
has an A health code.
Kayla gives him a bemused look.
TOM
I always check, because I like my
meat bloody.

Pajama-clad Tom and Courtney standing in the restaurant,
watching.
TOM
To which she responded: Cards on
the table: I'm a vege-terrible.

Well-dressed Tom and Kayla at table.
KAYLA
Cards on the table: I'm a
vegetarian.
TOM
Ha! Vege-terrible!
KAYLA
What delightful word play,
Petruchio.
TOM
I mean, oh, shit. I'm sorry. You
just look good for a vegetarian.
Not pale or sickly or anything.

Pajama-clad Tom and Courtney.
COURTNEY
Are you serious?

Well-dressed Tom and Kayla.
KAYLA
Are you serious?
TOM
No, no! I'm totally joking! I mean,
not entirely. I do crave meat...
like... you... bleeding...
spinach... which has less iron than
it's advertised to have! Ha! No....
(These are mumbles. Mostly
incoherent until-)
Just ignore what I said. Except for
the part where I said you looked
good. That part was true.

COURTNEY
(laughing)
You have to warn Jesse: werewolfism
makes you awkward turtle.

Well-dressed Tom and Kayla.
Kayla's fork hovers midair, full of salad, on the way to a
big bite, but paused as she watches Tom eat his entire
(large, gourmet) burger in 4 bites. Grease is running down
his chin. He's grinning happily.
In the background pajama-clad Tom is miming holding and
enjoying the burger and the grease as he tells the story.
He's reliving this meal.
TOM
Oh, man. I feel so much better now.
KAYLA
Do you always bolt your food like a
wolf?
Pajama-clad Tom looks up suddenly from his imaginary burger.
Beat. Well-dressed Tom carefully looks up from his search
for more grease and watches Kayla for a moment, very still.
