The Lost Boys Page #3

MICHAEL:

Hey, Sam, we're flat broke.

SAM:

Even poor people have T.V.s

14 EXT. GRANDPA'S HOUSE 14

Nanook dashes about discovering nature, while Grandpa

helps Lucy unload the U-Haul.

GRANDPA:

Lucy, you're the only woman I ever

knew didn't improve her situation

by getting divorced.

LUCY:

A big legal war wasn't going to

improve anybody's situation. We've

all been through enough. Besides

I was raised better than that.

Thanks for having us, Dad.

She hugs him, accidentally pulling on his braid.

GRANDPA:

Ouch, my hair...

LUCY:

When I dressed like you do now,

you threw me out of the house.

I used to hate your short hair

and your uptight suits... then I

went ahead and married one... I

went Yuppie and you became a

hippie... Were still out of synch.

15 INT. AN UPSTAIRS BEDROOM 15

Sam is stacking his comic book collection on the shelves

when Michael enters.

MICHAEL:

This room is mine.

SAM:

I was here first.

MICHAEL:

Okay. I'll flip you for it.

Sam can see it's his only chance.

SAM:

Okay...

Michael smiles, grabs Sam suddenly and "flips" him upside

down. Michael is laughing, but his tone changes dramati-

cally when Sam reaches out, grabs hold of Michael's crotch

and squeezes hard. Michael drops Sam.

MICHAEL:

Owwww! You little sh*t!

Sam is out the door as Michael pursues.

16 DOWN THE STAIRCASE THROUGH THE LIVING ROOM 16

Sam yells to Lucy, who is outside.

SAM:

Help me, Mom. Help.

LUCY:

Soon.

Sam tears open a pair of old sliding doors and runs into:

17 THE OLD BAR 17

Stuffed animals of all kinds staring down at him: Squir-

rels, birds, cats, etc.

Also, boxes of eyes, pelts, hides, wooden animal forms.

In other words, all the equipment and accouterments of

a taxidermist.

MICHAEL:

dashes in. Both boys stare in wonder.

The whole scene is very weird. Suddenly a voice from

behind.

GRANDPA:

Rules!

Both boys jump, Grandpa is behind them.

GRANDPA:

Got some rules around here.

18 INT. KITCHEN 18

Grandpa opens the refrigerator revealing a shelf with a

cardboard flap on it reading: "Old Fart."

GRANDPA:

Second shelf is mine... keep my

root beers and double-thick Mint

Oreo cookies there... Nobody

touches the second shelf...

Grandpa closes the door as Michael notices something out

the window, as they follow Grandpa back towards the

living room. Michael points to a small marijuana crop

growing outside. Sam is puzzled but Michael make a

"smoking a joint" gesture.

19 LIVING ROOM (CONTINUOUS) 19

They follow Grandpa.

GRANDPA:

When the mailman brings the T.V.

Guide on Wednesdays, sometimes

the corner of the address label

will curl up... You'll be tempted

to peel it off. Don't. You'll

end up rippin' the cover and I

don't like that...
