Eight Legged Freaks Page #3
SAMANTHA "SAM" PALMER (30s) is the sheriff of Prosperity
and a confident, single mother. Mike is seated beside
her.
MIKE:
You should see them, Mom. Each
one has a unique feeding behavior.
The spitters fire poisonous snot.
The tarantulas mummify their prey.
The jumpers can...
SAM:
Why does he have all those things?
MIKE:
He studies them. NASA uses spider
webs in outer space. And for
medicine. They’ve been here
forever, and they’ll be here long
after we’re all dead.
SAM:
You’re givin’ me nightmares.
MIKE:
Nightmares are cool.

CONTINUED:
SAM:
U.P.S. brought this to the
station.
Sam hands Mike a small package.
MIKE:
It’s from Dad! He didn’t forget
my birthday. I told you he
wouldn’t.
SAM:
Better late than never.
Mike tears open the box to reveal a Cassiopeia PDA.
MIKE:
Rockin’!
SAM:
Is that the one you wanted?
MIKE:
Cassiopeia 2304 with 64 megs of
ram. Integrated modem. Voice
recording capability. This baby
is tight.
Mike can’t turn on the gizmo.
SAM:
What’s wrong?
MIKE:
He forgot to send the batteries.
SAM:
(annoyed)
I told him to send batteries.
EXT. DESERT -DAY
The ROAR of two off-road MOTORCYCLES tearing up the
desert.
BRET HALE (18) leads the way. A Kid Rock-punk with good
looks and FU attitude. Seated behind him is ASHLEY
PALMER (16). This milk-fed desert honey is a wannabe
Britney Spears. LARRY (17) is the wiseacre on the other
bike.
BRET:
Hang on, babydoll!
(CONTINUED)
9.
CONTINUED:
They GUN their BIKES onto the highway. Slalom the yellow
lines. Wheelie for days. Ashley peeks over Bret’s
shoulder at a police car coming at them in the opposite
lane.
ASHLEY:
Oh sh*t.
INT. POLICE CAR (HIGHWAY) -DAY
Sheriff Sam watches intently as the bikes wheelie past.
SAM:
Hang on.
MIKE:
Why?
EXT. HIGHWAY (DESERT) -DAY
The police car does an impressive bootlegger 180. Lights
ablaze. SIREN WAILING. The bikes pull over to the
shoulder.
EXT. SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY (DESERT) -DAY
The motorcycles stop with the cop car behind. Sam’s
voice barks over the PA.
SAM (V.O.)
Party’s over, gentlemen. Off the
bikes.
Sam exits the car and approaches. The bikers dismount.
BRET:
There is something very sexy about
LARRY:
Her nine-millimeter gives me a
stiffy.
ASHLEY:
Don’t antagonize her, you guys.
SAM:
I told you not to act like
kamikazes. Especially with Ashley
riding behind. That is
unacceptable, Bret.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
BRET:
behind.
Larry snickers. Sam steels her rage.
SAM:
reckless.
