The Wolf Man Page #6

Synopsis: Upon the death of his brother, Larry Talbot returns from America to his ancestral home in Wales. He visits a gypsy camp with village girl Jenny Williams, who is attacked by Bela, a gypsy who has turned into a werewolf. Larry kills the werewolf but is bitten during the fight. Bela's mother tells him that this will cause him to become a werewolf at each full moon. Larry confesses his plight to his unbelieving father, Sir John, who then joins the villagers in a hunt for the wolf. Transformed by the full moon, Larry heads for the forest and a fateful meeting with both Sir John and Gwen Conliffe.

Yes.

I suppose you can't

blame them too much.

Kind of a mess, isn't it?

I came over to tell you

how sorry I am about Jenny.

Tell me, just exactly

what did happen?

Well...

I saw a wolf attacking her,

and I killed it.

In the fight, it bit me.

This morning,

there's no sign of the wound.

Now they're trying

to make me believe

that I killed Bela,

the fortune-teller.

Well, maybe there wasn't a wolf.

It was dark and foggy,

and, well, perhaps

the story I told you

about the werewolf

confused you.

Why does everyone insist

that I'm confused?

Hello, Frank.

Hello, Mr. Conliffe.

Is Gwen in?

Yes, but she

has a visitor.

Larry Talbot?

Yes.

Well, that's all right.

I want to see him, too.

Larry, this is

Frank Andrews.

Quiet.

You'd better take

him outside, Frank.

All right.

Come on, come on.

So that's him, huh?

Yes. We grew up

together.

He looks like

a nice enough chap.

What does he do?

He's the gamekeeper for

your father's estate.

Oh.

Glad to know you,

Andrews.

I just came over to see

that Gwen was all right.

I guess I'd

better be going now.

Goodbye, Gwen.

Goodbye.

Frank, why were

you so rude?

Well, I'm sorry,

but...

I couldn't take my eyes off

that walking stick of his.

Gwen, be careful,

will you?

Careful?

Yes. He's been away

for 18 years, I know,

but he's still the son

of Sir John Talbot.

I see. And I'm

the daughter of Conliffe,

who owns the antique

shop, is that it?

Yes, that and, well, there's something

very tragic about that man,

and I'm sure that nothing but harm

will come to you through him.

Now aren't you

glad I brought you?

There's Larry Talbot.

Let's go and

say hello, eh?

I just wanted to show you

that I'm not jealous.

Larry Talbot!

Saw you walking

along by yourself,

thought you might

like to join us.

Well, thanks. I was

just on my way home.

Don't say that.

Come on. We'll have

some fun together.

Please do,

Larry.

Two guns,

please.

Yes, sir.

See what you can do.

All right.

He seems to be able

to handle a rifle.

Go ahead and shoot,

before he bites you.

Bad luck.

See? Nothing to it.

Care to try another one?

No, thanks.

You win.

He's unstrung.

Long trip-

That unfortunate accident

the other night.

You have been

a long while coming.

I'm not buying anything.

And I am not

selling anything.

I expected you sooner.

I remember you.

That night,

and in the crypt.

Go inside.

You killed the wolf.

Well, there's no

crime in that, is there?

The wolf was Bela.

You think I don't know the

difference between a wolf and a man?

Bela became a wolf,

and you killed him.

A werewolf can be killed

only with a silver bullet,

or a silver knife or a stick
