The Lost Boys Page #5

Lucy passes the sad woman and their eyes meet for a

second. Lucy notices a "HELP WANTED" SIGN in a restau-

rant window. As she goes to inspect it however, she

suddenly becomes aware of a YOUNG BOY looking very lost

in the middle of the summer crowd.

23 POV OF LUCY 23

tending to the child.

This is through a store window looking out onto the pier

with the boardwalk in the distance. A BUZZER SOUNDS.

AND POV MOVES THROUGH THE DOORWAY OF A VIDEO STORE.

as the LOST BOYS enter aggressively.

These POV's belong to MAX, the tall good-looking friendly

owner of VIDEOMAX, a trendy video/souvenier store with

banks of TV MONITORS filled with rock and cartoon images.

Max is not happy with the appearance of the LOST BOYS

in his store, who seem only interested in causing trouble

and cruising the attractive YOUNG BLACK CASHIER. Max is

just about to deal with them, when the BUZZER SOUNDS

again, and Lucy enters with the child.

LUCY:

This boy seems to be lost.

David and the Lost Boys watch Lucy and the child. Max

is delighted to see Lucy in his store.

LUCY:

I thought maybe his parents

might be in here?

Max is just about to help Lucy when a frantic YOUNG

MOTHER comes dashing into the store.

MOTHER:

Terry... Oh, thank God... I was

so worried...

She grabs the child, effusively thanking Max and Lucy.

Max gallantly hands a lollipop to Terry as the mother

thanks them some more and leaves. Max hands Lucy a

lollipop next.

LUCY:

No, thanks.

She smiles as the Lost Boys shuffle past heading for the

door. Max speaks to David.

MAX:

I told you not to come in here anymore.

David smiles his smile and leaves with his guys. Max

sees Lucy watching him.

MAX:

Wild kids.

Outside David and the guys get on their bitchin' bikes

and peel out.

LUCY:

Oh, they're just young. We were

that age, too, once. Only they

dress better.

MAX:

You've got a generous nature. I

like that in a person. My name is Max.

LUCY:

Lucy.

MAX:

So what can I help you find tonight,

Lucy? We've got it all. Best

selection in Santa Carla.

LUCY:

I'm not looking for a tape. What I

need is --

MAX:

-- a job.

LUCY:

Do I look that needy?

24 EXT. BOARDWALK - NIGHT 24

Michael walks briskly past the rides through the crowds.

Sam has trouble keeping up as they turn down an alley.

SAM:

Where are we going?

MICHAEL:

Nowhere.

SAM:

Then what's the rush? You're

chasing that girl, why don't you

just admit it? I'm at the mercy

of your sex glands!

MICHAEL:

Don't you have something better

to do than follow me around all

night?

Then, Sam realizes that he's standing directly in front

of a GREAT SECOND-HAND COMIC BOOK STORE.
