An American Werewolf in London Page #4

WOMAN:

No.

JACK:

Hot chocolate?

WOMAN:

We've got spirits and beer. If it's

something hot you want, you can have

tea.

JACK:

Then you have some hot tea?

WOMAN:

No.

JACK:

Oh.

WOMAN:

But I can heat some up for you if

you'd like.

DAVID & JACK

Yes, please.

As the Woman turns to prepare the tea, everyone resumes what

they were doing; talking, drinking, playing chess and darts,

and the boys breathe easier.

JACK:

Nice looking group.

DAVID:

Listen, at least it's warm in here.

JACK:

Look at that.

CUT TO:

JACK'S P.O.V.

On the wall is painted a red pentangle (a five-pointed star)

and on either side burns a yellow candle.

DAVID:

What about it?

JACK:

It's a five-pointed star.

DAVID:

Maybe the owners are from Texas.

The Woman brings them their tea.

JACK:

(to Woman)

Remember the Alamo?

WOMAN:

I beg your pardon?

DAVID:

He was joking. Thank you.

WOMAN:

Joking? I remember The Alamo. I saw

it once in London, in Leicester

Square.

Jack and David look startled. One of the CHESS PLAYERS

explains:

CHESS PLAYER:

She means in the cinema, that film

with John Wayne.

(turns to board)

Checkmate.
