          1.) 
            (The rain falls hard on a humdrum Jack, disheveled and carrying one bag.  
            Colorful posters line the telephone poles and the air is thick with humidity.) 
            2.) 
            (Karl comes up from behind Jack and reaches out a hand.) 
            KARL: Hey! Jack? 
            3.) 
            (Somehow he has surprised the vampire. Jack is appalled by the circum- 
              stance, and still looking a bit mangled. At least he has his eyeballs now.) 
            KARL:Hey! I’m sure you’re 
            busy but I was in the-- 
            JACK: Ahh!! How’d you
            find me?! 
            4.) 
            (Karl does awkward charm thing while quietly furious Jack glares at his treacherous phone.) 
            KARL: Uhh I used the GPS
            on Thrustr.... 
            JACK: Shit. I forgot
            to log out. 
            5.) 
            (Karl is sensitive express'n.) 
            KARL: I didn’t mean to bother you, 
            it’s just been a little while. Are you okay? 
            6.) 
            (Jack buries his head in a starry scarf and looks away.) 
            JACK: Yeah, but I have the biggest zit 
              ever in the universe so you 
            don’t want to look. I’m on an emergency run 
            for um, zit... stuff. Bye. 
            7.) 
            (Karl looks appropriately jilted. Play it cool, man.) 
            KARL: Oh...
            okay...? 
            8.) 
            (An electronical music show plays at Rafflesia, while we hear Allison and Thierry's conversation from off panel...) 
            ALLISON: Maybe we didn’t
              exorcise him hard
            enough? 
            THIERRY: Exorcism is an
            all or nothing
            thing, bebe.
            9.) 
            (...so far off panel that they lounge upstairs on a fancy antique couch.) 
            THIERRY: This is important 
            to you? 
            ALLISON: Yeah. He was 
              the first person 
            to help me. What kind of friend am I if I can’t help him 
            when he needs it? 
            10.) 
            (Thierry is trying to be sweety boy, but surly Allison ain't havin' it.) 
            THIERRY: Aw, you’re my
              friend bebe!
            Don’t cry... 
            ALLISON: I’m not a ‘bebe’ and I’m not crying, 
            but you might be soon. 
          11.) 
          (Now Allison's look says she has an idea she like, and Thierry's face has fallen. No accord yet.) 
          THIERRY: I can find spirits but
            I can’t guard against nerds
            with guns, mon amie. 
          ALLISON: But if we get rid of
            that clown for good,
            that’d be a start! Then we’ll kick 
            nerd asses. Oh and let’s
            save Tristan! 
          12.) 
          (Negotiation continues - Thierry annoyed, Allison non-amorously solicitous.) 
          THIERRY: Do you understand
            how much I hate 
            doing work? 
          ALLISON: I’ll stop changing
            the wifi password
            to ‘floppy dongs’ 
          THIERRY: Don’t say it
            if you don’t
          mean it.            |
