The Lost Boys Page #6

SAM:

As a matter of fact, I do.

With that, Sam walks away from Michael. And Michael

continues his search alone.

25 INT. COMIC BOOK STORE 25

Weirdness hangs in the air. Sam enters. It seems empty.

Sam begins to examine the treasure trove of comics when

he suddenly becomes aware of TWO TEENAGERS, EDGAR and

ALAN -- tough little dudes in fatigues with cold eyes --

victims of too many Chuck Norris movies. They are busy

stacking old comics on the racks from cardboard boxes.

They are the FROG BROTHERS.

SAM:

You can't put the Superman D.C.

#3400 series with the #500's...

it's a different artist.

The Frogs just look death at him, but Alan notices

something.

ALAN:

(to Edgar)

He's right.

They begin to correct their mistake, as Sam speaks again.

SAM:

And these Archies should be over

here with the Richie Rich's.

EDGAR:

Where the hell are you from,

Kryton???

SAM:

Phoenix actually and these

Bullwinkle and...

ALAN:

Just passing through Santa Carla?

SAM:

No, I'm a resident as of today

and you'll probably be seeing a

lot of me... I've been collecting

comic books all my life...

perhaps you'd like to see my

collection?

Alan looks to Edgar as Edgar pulls a comic from the shelf.

EDGAR:

If you're gonna live around here,

then here's one you don't wanna

be without.

He hands Sam a comic entitled Vampires Everywhere.

SAM:

I don't like horror comics.

ALAN:

This one could save your life.

26 EXT. THE BOARDWALK 26

Michael is on Star and Laddie's tail. He keeps pace

with her, walking a safe distance behind. She becomes

aware of him. She looks over her shoulder -- then

suddenly stops.

STAR:

Are you following me?

MICHAEL:

Well, I...

STAR:

Did you want to talk to me?

MICHAEL:

Well... yeah. Sure.

STAR:

Okay. Talk.

MICHAEL:

I just wanted to... I, uh...

Sam rushes up carrying his comic.

SAM:

Mom's here.

Laddie notices the vampire comic.

SAM:

Let's go.

STAR:

(very sweetly)

Nice talking to you.

She smiles and walks away.

27 EXT. BOARDWALK ENTRANCE - MINUTES LATER 27

Michael argues with Lucy as Sam climbs into the Rover.

MICHAEL:

It's early. Why do we have to

go home?

LUCY:

Bring your own wheels tomorrow

night and you can stay as long

as you want... well 'til eleven

thirty maybe.

MICHAEL:

I'll hitch.

LUCY:

Oh, no, you won't.

SAM:

Mom, you hitched all the way to

Berkeley once, remember?

MICHAEL:

Mom, just give me five more minutes.

Just five minutes, okay?

Lucy nods as Michael dashes off into the crowd.

SAM:

He met a girl.

LUCY:

I guess no one cares what I got

a job.

SAM:

Can we get a T.V.?

28 EXT. ANOTHER PART OF THE BOARDWALK 28

Michael rounds the turn and stops short.

Star and Laddie are surrounded by the Lost Boys. Michael

feels upstaged. The Lost Boys look his way -- but there

is nothing threatening in their expressions.
