Episode 6.4
EXT. BELMONT CANYON ENTRANCE, CONTINUED
TOM
HEY! I could be your new partner!
MARIE
Sorry hun, you're not my preferred
gender, age, disposition, or level
of hairiness.
TOM
For dog-walking, I mean. I know
lots about dogs. Did you know that
the toxin in chocolate also affects
humans and-
MARIE
You do too many drugs. I'm not
judging. You seem like a nice
fellow, but animals are people too,
and they need someone dependable,
and so do I.
Tom is getting a puppy exuberance.
TOM
I'm dependable. I don't do drugs. I
promise. You'll see.
MARIE
No, Tom. I'm sorry.
Tom continues walking with Marie, silently. A sly smile
crosses his face.
TOM
Ok. I understand. See you tomorrow.
Marie turns to ask what/why, but Tom is gone, running.
EXT. BELMONT CANYON, EARLY MORNING
Tom waits. Marie walks into Belmont Canyon with dogs.
MARIE
Hi, Tom. I'm not paying you.
He holds his hands out. She passes him some dogs.
EXT. BELMONT CANYON ENTRANCE, NEXT DAY
Tom waits. Marie walks up with dogs pulling her.
MARIE
Ok. I'm Marie.
Tom takes the leashes. The dogs fall into line behind him.
EXT. BELMONT CANYON, NEXT DAY, SAME DEAL: TOM WAITS
This time Tom is sitting. He's been waiting longer than
usual. He's getting nervous. He paces. Then suddenly, Tom
begins to twitch with the coming wolf, but Marie arrives,
and he manages to subsume it.
MARIE
Something the matter with your
hand?
Tom looks down. It's covered in fur. He holds it behind him.
and takes the leashes with the other hand. Dogs behave well.
He lies poorly.
TOM
Sprained it yesterday rescuing a
cat from a vat of Rogaine... It was
a strange day.
Marie appraises the answer, but continues walking.
MARIE
Ok... Ok. You'll get $5 a dog an
hour. But no sex. I'm still a
lesbian, Tom.
TOM
Could I get an advance, for rent?
Marie stops. Tom, not oblivious, stops, too. Beat.
MARIE
Ok.
Episode 7.1: Training
INT. TOM AND COURTNEY'S APARTMENT
Courtney and Jacob sit on the couch, facing each other, deep
in conversation. We just hear the end of Jacob's line.
JACOB
For the first 2 years of the
program you can't handle currency.
You're not even allowed to purchase
any kind of clown make-up.
COURTNEY
So serious for a clown-
Tom enters, carrying a large foldable kennel. They look at
him. Clearly, they were having a serious relationship
conversation (that was going well). Tom pushes the coffee
table away and begins setting up the kennel in front of
Courtney and Jacob. They watch him for a bit.
COURTNEY
Tom, guess what!
TOM
I have to get a handle on this. So
I'm going to induce an episode and
then control it.
COURTNEY
You've given up on any non-werewolf
possibilities?
TOM
Samantha didn't have a better
explanation.
COURTNEY
Samantha had lots of explanations.
JACOB
But none of them better than that
Tom has a young wolf-spirit
co-habiting with his soul.
Tom points to Jacob and taps his nose. Courtney shakes her
head and gets back to her excitement.
COURTNEY
Tom, guess what! Jacob and I are
officially a-
TOM
I want to talk about Natalie.
All of the good humor drains from Courtney's face. Tom has
finished setting up the kennel, and he climbs in, then
fluffs his doggie blanket.
COURTNEY
What? Why?
TOM
Because that will definitely induce
an episode.
COURTNEY
I don't want to.
JACOB
Huh?
TOM
If it's a demon-possession-
JACOB
NO! No. Demons aren't real.
Spirit-possession.
TOM
Whatever. If I'm-
JACOB
NO! Not whatever. You don't have to
make war on it.
TOM
Fine. I just want to talk about
Natalie, then.
JACOB
Who's Natalie?
COURTNEY
NO! Last time we went down that
road, I lost you.
Tom looks at Courtney, then closes and locks the kennel.
