Howling IV: The Original Nightmare Page #2

-Yeah.

You remember that, and you won't go wrong.

-Are you jealous?

-What, of a flirtatious shopkeeper?

Give me a break.

Should I be?

Huh?

-Visitors, Mr. O.

-I hear them, Mrs. O.

-Hello, there.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Howdy.

Howdy.

-You must be the new couple running Wilderness Cottage,

right?

Here on your honeymoon?

-More of a second honeymoon.

-Oh.

-Oh.

-We need a couple of things here.

-Oh.

-All right.

-Oh, this is quite a list you have here.

So, why don't you and me go get the things

and have the ladies get acquainted?

-Great.

-OK.

-want to sit down, dear?

You'll be wanting to know what goes on in these parts.

Well, not much.

Folks keep pretty much to themselves around here.

We live our lives, mind around business-- except for me.

I mind everybody's business.

Morning sheriff.

Your cigarettes are on the counter.

-Is he always that friendly?

-Oh, had a little run in with him yesterday, huh?

-Mm-hmm.

-The sheriff can be a little surly,

but he's a good man to have on your side when

trouble comes knocking.

-How did you know I met the sheriff yesterday?

-Oh, everybody knows everything about--

-About everybody around here.

Right.

[HOWLING]

-What?

Damn it.

-Sorry.

I'm sorry.

[HOWLING]

MARIE (OFFSCREEN): Pierre?

Here boy.

[WHISTLING]

MARIE (OFFSCREEN): Pierre!

Pierre!

Pierre?

[WHISTLING]

-God damn it, Richard, he's been missing all day.

-Marie, he is a dog.

He's probably out in the woods chasing

rabbits or chipmunks or something.

The woods are heaven to a house dog.

There's no need to run and talk to the sheriff.

-[INAUDIBLE].

Good afternoon, sheriff.

My dog is missing.

It's a white poodle.

-Dogs run off all the time.

Folk around here don't get too concerned.

There's no big animals hereabouts.

-Then what's that howling?

-The only howling I ever heard was a coyote,

and that was a good many years ago.

Well, do you think you can keep a lookout for him, please?

[GROWLING]

-Oh god.

Richard, what time is it?

-7:
15.

I have an 11:
30 appointment with those design people down in LA,

remember?

-Oh god, it's Tuesday, isn't it?

That's right.

-All day.

Look, I'll be back before sundown, OK?

-Oh, Pierre won't starve out there.

He'll be back just like a man with his tail between his legs.

You don't believe that, dear?

-I'd like to, Mrs. O. It's just that there's

something so sinister about these woods.

Every night I've been hearing this howling.

-Well, it's probably just owls.

The woods are full of them.

-It sounds so evil, though.

-Things always sound scarier at night.

Why, Mr. O's snoring scares the bejesus out of me.

Don't let it worry you.

-I know.

It's probably nothing.
