The Lost Boys Page #4

He disappears into the Taxidermy.

GRANDPA:

... And stay outta here.

SAM:

You have a T.V.?

GRANDPA:

No, I just like to read the T.V.

Guide. Read the T.V. Guide, you

don't need a T.V...

20 INT. THE KITCHEN - NIGHT 20

Michael, Sam and Lucy do the dinner dishes together. The

radio is playing. A HIT FROM THE SIXTIES comes on.

"Land Of A Thousand Dances." Lucy begins to move to the

music. Then she puts down her dish towel and starts to

dance.

LUCY:

This is how we used to do it.

'Pony Time.'

Lucy grabs Sam by the hand and pulls him away from the

sink. He copies her. In fact, he's even more wild.

Lucy and Sam are laughing and having a great time. Lucy

and Sam try to include Michael, but he's embarrassed.

21 EXT. BEACH IN FRONT OF THE BOARDWALK- NIGHT 21

Michael and Sam walk across the beach, around the burning

bonfires. The beach is crowded. Greg and the Surf Nazis

hang out. It is all very strange and exciting to Sam and

Michael who make their way towards the lively boardwalk.

Sam fusses with his "mussed" hair and trendy clothes.

MICHAEL:

You're beautiful.

SAM:

Wanna change my hair, my clothes,

my face.

They go up the stairs near the bandstand. A LOUD ROCK

GROUP performs. The crows and action are exciting.

Michael and Sam make their way through the young people..

Michael suddenly sees:

STAR:

A heart-stopping young beauty. Different from anyone in

the crowd, listening to the music and even though she's

with LADDIE, 14, a sweet-faced but sad boy, she seems

alone. As the MUSIC BUILDS, she suddenly feels Michael's

gaze and their eyes meet. She is a person looking for a

friend. Michael smiles. Star wants to smile back, but

she can't, and reaching for Laddie, disappears through

the crowd. Michael grabs Sam and follows.

22 EXT. SANTA CARLA PIER - NIGHT 22

In view of the boardwalk, but quite a distance away.

Lucy, in a soft summer skirt and blouse walks on the busy

pier; restaurants, souvenir stores, boat rentals, etc.

A "brain dead" ex-hippie is preaching; ranting and raving.

Lucy falls in step for a moment with a TOURIST COUPLE

who are smiling over the ex-hippie.

LUCY:

I think I dated that guy.

The couple chuckle and disappears in the crowd as Lucy

comes across a kiosk with dozens of local ads for apart-

ments for rent, fishing boats, seminars, and many flyers

with missing children. Being added to this is a xeroxed

flyer with a picture of the heavyset Security Guard we

saw killed. "MISSING" in large black type over his photo.

This is being placed there by his WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN.
