 TEEN WOLF

(]) FADE IN:

1. INT. BEACONTOWN HIGH SCHOOL - CORRIDORS - DAY 1.
The overwhelming sound of a beating heart.

POV THE CAMERA

as we move along the corridor -- sneaking up close behind

THREE PRETTY G~RLS carrying books and wearing miniskirts.

From another direction, SEVERAL WHITE CHICKENS scatter

noisily. The girls seem oblivious to the chickens.
We follow the chickens -- closer --

MORE STUDENTS, carrying books, etc. come out of classrooms.

We hide up· against a wall as they pass by.
As the halls clear, we skulk down the corridor.
Our pursuit of the chickens brings us to and inside:

2. INT. BEACONTOWN HIGH SCHOOL - CAFETERIA - DAY 2.

There is one long table covered with food -- like a banquet.

A BLACK CHICKEN pecks at a salad. We approach the table.
The chicken SQUAWKS and flies off.

0 We move along the table, grabbing food and shoving it

toward us •. Broiled chicken. Coq au Vin. Chicken Paprika.
Egg dishes: p0ached, scrambled, deviled. Chicken Fricassee.

We stop. A group of PEOPLE (all of whom we will meet later

in the story} is staring at us. At the center is THORNE;
PAMELA and BOOF giggle and point; STILES laughs.

THE CAMERA TURNS 180 DEGREES AND REVEALS

SCOTT HOWARD, the hero of our tale, looking rather peculiar

right now standing in his underwear. His face is covered with
food. Innocently, he reaches for a handful of Chicken Salad --
as the SCHOOL BELL RINGS!

SMASH CUT TO:

3. INT. THE HOWARD HOUSE - SCOTT'S BEDROOM - MORNING 3.

A clock/radio BUZZES madly. Scott bolts up quickly in bed.

White feathers float in the air; several dangle from his hair.
He notices they are coming from a rip in his pillow.

He's been having a dream. Relieved, he reaches for the

alarm's OFF switch --

ON THE BASKETBALL COURT

Scott, wearing a BEACONTOWN BEAVER uniform, is sweaty and tired.

It is well into the second half of the opening game against
the FARMINGTON DRAGONS.

LEMONADE JOHNSON, the Dragon's forward, dribbles Globetrotter

style past and around the hapless Beaver team. He charges at
Scott who -- against his better judgement -- stands his ground.
Lemonade barrels straight ahead, knocking Scott to the floor.
No foul is called.' Scott looks over to

COACH FINSTOCK, on the bench, who shrugs.

IN THE STANDS

LISA "BOOF" MARCONI winces with sympathy for Scott. She is

adorable, likeable, but does not yet dress to·look her best.
Scott's plight brings a giggle from her TWO FRIENDS.

ON THE COURT

() from Scott's POV, we watch Lemonade score a smooth lay-up.

Then, a shadow appears over Scott. MICK McALLISTER, the huge
blonde Dragon, puts out his hand to help Scott up. Embarrassed
by the offer, Scott accepts, coming to his feet. Scott's nose
just reaches the number on Mick's chest.

SCOTT
Thanks.

MICK
You guys suck.

Scott manages a smile. He nods in grim agreement.

She stomps away, leaving the other CHEERLEADERS confused.

Coach Finstock comes to his feet, dressed in a plaid sports
coat, and high water pants. He makes a "T" sign with his hands.

a too-soon moustache and a T-shirt proclaiming "LIFE SUCKS, THEN

but good looking in a minatura sort of way.
Stiles hasn't been paying attention to the game at all.
STILES
(giving the thumbs up)
Hey, Scott, lookin' good out there!
Scott shakes his head and waves him off, suddenly noticing
SOMEONE sitting alone. Using his fingers to comb his hair,
he heads in that direction.
Boof sees Scott approaching, and perks up, only to be disappointed
when she realizes he is actually headed for ·
PAMELA WELLS, by any standard a heartbreaker, but she is also
aloof and snobbish -- which Scott somehow doesn't recognize.
But before Scott can speak with her

One Cheerleader remains. She notices for the first time that
she is now alone with the girl dressed as the Beaver.
She checks around to see that no one is watching.

Brad shoots again. Misses. Mick snares the rebound, and in

a matter of seconds, the Dragons move the ball to their
basket and Mick dunks it.

At that, Pamela stands to leave.

The Beavers are still up court, staring with disbelief.

Scott, spying Pamela's early exit, swings at the air,
angry at everything. ·

Where the cheerleaders sit, only the paper mache head of

the mascot Beaver remains.

Stiles assaults a NERD who sits alone.

STILES
-- and if I don't come up with the
fifteen bucks, I can't enter my
project on the Duran Quark theory
in the science fair. What a drag.

The Nerd takes out his calculator, enters some figures, shakes
his head at Stiles, and slides further down the bleachers.
Stiles searches for his next victim.

LEWIS
We're not doing so good.

Stiles puts his hand on Lewis' shoulder, speaking deliberately:

STILES
Never. Say. Die.
AT THE BEAVER BENCH

MR. RUSSELL THORNE, the Vice-Principal approaches Finstock.

ON THE COURT

Scott is in the clear. CHUBBY, the heaviest Beaver, throws the

ball to him. But it's too hard. It sails toward the bench
and Finstock catches it.

FINSTOCK
(to Mr. Thorne)
That fat kid's got a great arm.

ON THE COURT

Lemonade lobs the ball into play. It get thrown back to him.
He looks for an open Dragon. Spotting Mick, he throws it,
just a hair wide --

It lands in Scott's hands. Mick goes to grab it from Scott,

but Scott won't let go. Mick tugs. Scott's angry. Mick can't

foil wrapped SANDWICH, then another, then another.

friends from the game: TINA and GINA, who are hard to tell
apart, wearing the same brightly colored glasses, identical
new wave hairstyles, and similar tight sweaters.

SCOTT
I had another weird dream last night.
BOOF
Was I in this one?
SCOTT
Yeah. You. Pamela. And a
bunch of chickens.
Boof frowns -- it's not exactly what she wanted to hear.
A LOUD HONKING interrupts them as a RED 1968 PONTIAC TEMPEST,
a makeshift plastic tarp strapped on for a convertible top,
the muffler a memory, pulls up beside them. Stiles, still
damp from the shower, sticks his head out and yells over the

One can of paint drops. Very carefully, he stoops to pick it

up. He curls his fingers around the wire handle and lifts.
A roll of masking tape drops out of a bag and spins to
the other side of the corridor.

The tape lands about a foot from Vice Principal Thorne.

He makes no effort to help Scott, while he watches intently
and with hidden amusement.

I said mauve! Not turquoise!

As Scott awkwardly steps backstage, he·stops to watch Mick

pull himself up next to Pamela. Mick puts his arm around her
and they laugh.

IN THE WINGS

Scott inspects his hands. The hair is gone!

2U. INT·. PACKAGE STORE - EARLY EVENING 20.

Stiles wears a leather jacket and a T-shirt with a screaming

Bald Eagle with the word "AMERICA". He pulls the brim of a
Coor's trucker's cap down over his eyes while a cigarette dangles
from his lip. He pretends to read a piece of paper carefully,
putting on a tough guy voice.

STILES
The Boss says I'm to pick up
a keg o' beer.

THE OLD MAN behind the counter is not impressed.

STILES
Hbt damn. The Boss is throwing
a big bash for one of 'the boys
down at the gravel pit. He just
got paroled --

Stiles winks -- the Old Man does not react.

STILES
I got plenty of bread. Here.
There's a little extra for you.

Stiles holds out his crumpled wad of money.

OLD MAN

Have to see your r·.o., lad

Never. Say. Die.
22. EXT~; THE HOWARD HOUSE - EVENING 22.

Scott parks the Hardware store Van in the street and gets out.
He walks toward the front door and stops
There is a sinister GROWLING sound
He steps forward cautiously --

From the neighbor's yard next door bounds DAISY

a huge English Sheepdog baring her teeth

SCOTT
Daisy. I'm in no mood

The dog looks like she's about to spring Scott pretends

he's throwing something at her -- she ducks -- and Scott double
times it to the front door -- Daisy in hot pursuit. Scott makes
it and slams the door. Daisy comes to a screeching halt.

23. INT. THE HOWARD HOUSE - THE KITCHEN - NIGHT 23.

(]} On a dinette table, an entire broiled CHICKEN has been

just about picked.clean. Scott and·his father eat in
silence. Periodically, Scott examines his palms, still
perplexed .by the hair incident.

SCOTT
Dad. Um -- what would you say
if I quit basketball?

HAROLD
Quit the team? That's drastic.
You're not the worst player,
you know.

SCOTT
Yeah. But, I thought I might
do.something else.

HAROLD
Like what?

SCOTT
I don't know. Like be in the play.

HAROLD
Well, theater has it's place, I
0 suppose. But yo~'ve made a commit-
ment to the team. And the school.

Father and son exchange a long look. Scott rubs his palms
together. Harold can see that he's troubled.

SCOTT
(anxiously)
Listen, Dad, has anything ever hap-
pened to you that's just !!.2. weird ?

HAROLD
I think maybe it's time you and I
had a little talk --

Stiles bursts into the kitchen wearing a T-Shirt that reads:

OBNOXIOUS: THE MOVIE.
STILES
Hey! Mr. Howard. How's the
king of the nuts and bolts?

Harold does not seem as pleased to see Stiles.

HAROLD
Hello, Stiles.

Is Boof going with you guys?

I'm not sure how she's getting there.

STILES

SCOTT
We are?

STILES
Yeah. Don't you remember?

Clearly, Scott doesn't, but he catches on. As does Harold.

HAROLD
Don't worry, I'll clean up.
You run along.

Stiles practically drags Scott out of the chair.

SCOTT
Are you sure it's all right?

HAROLD
(nodding)
Have a good time, boys, and be
careful.

Harold picks up some dishes from the table and shuffles over to
the sink as the boys go on their way.

24. INT. HOWARD HOUSE_- FRONT HALLWAY - NIGHT 24.

Scott, with his jacket in hand, stops at the front hall mirror
to check his appearance. Stiles appears in the mirror,
anxious to get moving --

STILES
Come on.

SCOTT
(scratching behind his ears)
Listen. Do you know anything
about a rash that's going around?

STILES
Why? You lookin' to catch something?

SCOTT
No. Seriously.

SCOTT

25. EXT. THE HOWARD HOUSE - FRONT YARD TO STREET - NIGHT 25.

On the front steps, Scott stops to zip up his jacket.

Lewis is in the front yard playing with Daisy who seems
meek and friendly, much to Scott's annoyance.

SCOTT
What's the hurry? We'll be the
first ones there.
STILES
I couldn't get the keg. I tried
every place in town.

SCOTT
It's no big deal.

0 At that instant, Daisy and Scott make eye contact. Scott is

off like a rocket headed for his Van -- Daisy growling behind.
Scott hops in and slams the door. Daisy waits.
Stiles saunters over to the passenger's door.

STILES
(leaning in the window)
Look, everyone's depending on me.
What kind of party will it be
with no brew?

SCOTT
(winded)
What's your plan, Stiles?

STILES
You buy it.
Stiles reaches down and pats Daisy. She .licks his hand.

That's not a plan. I look even

Nice dog.

Scott makes an unhappy face as he starts up the Van.

Lewis and Stiles head for the Tempest parked behind him.

26. EXT. PACKAGE STORE - PARKING LOT - NIGHT 26.

The same one Stiles tried. The Van and the Tempest are parked
outside. Stiles holds out a clear yellow squirt gun.
He squirts Scott in the face.
STILES
Stick it in your pocket like this.
Stiles shoves it in his ~por-ts co_at pocket like a s:tick-up man. *
-SCO'fT
You're crazy!
STILES
No. It's perfect. Go in like this.
Don't say anything except 11 Girnrne a

That way he can't say you robbed him.
SCOTT
No.
STILES
I'd do it myself, but the old guy
in there already kicked me out.
SCOTT
Give me the money.
Lewis is surprised .and a bit scared. Stiles hands over the cash
and the squirt gun. Scott tosses the gun to a relieved Lewis.
SCOTT
I'll try to buy. That's it.

STILES
(disappointed}
No. Scott. This old guy's a
ball buster. It won't work.
Scott heads into the store. Stiles groans.
LEWIS

26. INT. PACKAGE STORE - NIGHT 26.

Scott has to wait in line. SOMEBODY walks out with a bag of

bottles. There are TWO PEOPLE still in front of Scott. Then,
only one. Scott is getting nervous. Finally, Scott is at the
counter, the last one in the store, facing the Old Man.

SCOTT
Hi. I'd like a keg of beer.

OLD MAN
You don't s.3:y.

SCOTT
Uh-huh. How much is it?

OLD M&~
Got any I.D., sonny?

Scott hesitates for just one brief instant

OLD MAN
(really railing into him)
You little bastards won't give up.
No I.D., no goddam beer. Can you
get that through your thick skull?

Scott is very agitated. His eyes suddenly begin to GLOW

faintly red and in a voice that sounds like it comes from
bowels of the earth or like Michael Jackson's werewolf voice
in THRILLER:

SCOTT
(growls)
Give me a keg of beer.

The Old Man looks terrified. As does Scott

27. EXT. ON THE ROAD - TRAVELING~ NIGHT 27.

Stiles' Tempest, the .top down, follows behind the Van.

Loud rock music plays. Stiles drives. His passenger,
strapped in with a safety belt is a large, cool, keg.

Stiles has another idea. He opens his glove compartment and

pulls free admidst the clutter, a b+ightly colored HAWAIIAN SHIRT.
28. INT. SCOTT'S VAN - TRAVELING - NIGHT 28.

to find him amusing. Lewis stands 'by the Van unsure of what to do.

Stiles pulls on the Hawaiian shirt. And pulls off his sneakers.

SCOTT

Are you ready?

Stiles ·(o. s.) bangs hard on the roof to Scott's irritation.

To the blasting sound of "URBAN SURFIN'", Scott increases
the speed of the Van -- little by little.

33. EXT. SCOTT'S VAN'S ROOF - TRAVELING - IMMEDIATELY 33.

STILES
Come on! Let's surf!
Stiles carefully comes to a full upright position, occasionally
bending his knees for balance. As the speed increases, the
wind whips in Stiles face -- he laughs gleefully.

His arms spread eagle, Stiles thrills to what he does best:

0 Urban Surf. He can "Hang Ten" (bring both feet right up to
the front o.f the Van, toes hanging over) or even "Hang Five"
(same as "Hanging Ten", only it's- on one foot) as he takes
the twists and corners of the streets.

Lewis turns around -- he can't believe it -- he swerves a bit!

35. INT. SCOTT'S VAN - TRAVELING - IMMEDIATELY 35.

Scott nervous.ly steadies the Van through a set of sharp
curves, gripping the wheel tightly. Then he notices

IN HIS REAR VIEW MIRROR

Scott's EARS! They are pointed and covered with a coarse fur.
Without even thinking, Scott takes his hands from the wheers-
to pull at his ears -- The Van jostles!
Scott grabs the wheel again --

Lewis struggles while lifting the keg out of the Tempest.

Stiles takes it away from him.

Scott scans the crowd. On the other side of the room,
away from everyone else, Scott spots Pamela. She is also
looking around, evidently searching for someone. Scott approaches.
SCOTT
Looking for someone in particular?
PAMELA
- Not you.
She moves on. Suddenly Boof is right beside Scott.
BOOF
There -you go. She said two words
to you.
Scott sighs.
42. INT. THE PARTY HOUSE - KITCHEN - NIGHT 42.
Stiles, followed by Lewis, carries in the keg. At the door
he meets a big, young man who looks like a LINEBACKER.
STILES
I came through, big fella. Just
like I said. No dry throats tonight.
LINEBACKER
Okay. Put it down over there.
If we don't get to it tonight,
take it home.
On the floor at Stiles' feet is a row of about eight identical
kegs. Stiles looks at Lewis daring him to say something.

Lewis has been drinking.

Stiles then grabs a punch bowl filled with cubes of JELLO. *
STILES
Take this jello -- *
And carry it across the room -- *
Chubby looks relieved
STILES
But you can't carry it in the bowl, *
in your hands -- or in your mouths! *
Stiles turns the bowl upside down -- the jello lands on a *
coffee table in a pile. After a moment's hesitation, Chubby *

her blue slip of paper -- it says: "MALCOLM" -- she has a hint
of a frown. Pamela, on the other hand, reluctantly peaks at
her pap_er the name there is "SCOTT". She rolls her eyes
and sighs

So. What's it like coming out
of the closet?
Boof recovers from her lingering shock and smiles at Scott --
BOOF
That was -- unexpected.
Scott looks around the room:
The couple bound and gagged is still tied up.

51. EXT. STREET TO HOWARD HOUSE - NIGHT 51.

(J Scott's Van takes a corner and goes over the curb. It pulls
up to the house with a squeal, parking at a bad angle.
Scott practically falls out of the Van. He stumbles toward
the house, feeling sick, holding his hand over his mouth.
Suddenly -- there is a HOWL -- and he is attacked! It's Daisy
only she's got ~old of his leg and is humping him.
Scott drags himself to the door and then holds the dog's face
in both his hands, staring hard into her eyes:

mouth. Gags. Nothing happens. He tries again. Nothing.

He calms down. He breathes better. Standing upright, he's *

rel'ieved. Actually, he feels good now. *
Scott goes to the medicine chest mirror looks at himself
runs the water and washes his face. He towel dries it.

He looks at his face again. He grins. *

His teeth! They are longer and pointed. What!?
Then it all happens a t ~

SCOTT
Oh. No.

His face grows hair -- his forehead extends -- his ears grow
pointed -- his hands grow hairy -- and his nails grow long.
All in the mirror -- right before his eyes -- this average
American kid turns into:

TEEN WOLF -- not quite a werewolf -- more like a Wolfman --

He stands upright -- he's sort of cute -- but
this wolf wears a polo shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

*
*
And while his voice is a little rougher -- It's definitely Scott.
He growls -- almost scaring himself.
Now the transformation is complete.
He stares at himself in for what feels like a long time.
He moves away from the mirror. Then he pops back in front
of it. He's still a Teen Wolf.

He turns from one side, then the other. He tries to see what
his backside looks like.
TEEN WOLF
This is gross!

He opens the medicine chest and carefully examines the back

of the mirror. No tricks are evident. He closes the mirror.
He's still a Teen Wolf.
There is a KNOCK at the door. Teen Wolf panics. He wraps
his head in a towel, trying to cover it. No good. He takes
the towel off.

mouths "Where's Scott?" Lewis shrugs. Boof points to Stiles.
With a ruler, Lewis reaches over and taps Stiles on the arm.

Sorry, officer, I --

Disrupted, Mrs. Christopher turns to the class, but all

changing a plus to a minus and then back to a plus.

Boof points to the chair again. Stiles shakes his head.

Boof frowns. The door OPENS. She turns her head to see
Scott trying to slip in. He finds everyone's stare a bit
unnerving this morning. Self-consciously, he goes to his
desk and sits quietly. Mrs. Christopher, intent on her problem
does not turn to look.
Scott digs out his math book, glancing at Boof who waves quickly.

A smile finally returns to Scott.

Blasting down Main • Street, Teen Wolf is on top of the Wolfmobile
doing incredible "Surfer" stunts. He "Hangs Ten". Even "Five".
He does flips. And hand stands. He howls as his fur blows
in the wind.

Well. You know I loved your mother
ever since we were kids. And we
both knew we were meant for each other.
But, Rusty Thorne set his cap for her
too and no matter what we tried, he
just wouldn't go away.

He takes a cup and a tin of cocoa down from a shelf.

HAROLD
So. I did something I promised myself.
I would never do.
Scott jumps to the conclusion.

SCOTT
You turned into the werewolf.

HAROLD
Right in front of his face.

He drops two tablespoons of cocoa in his cup. He then looks

I'd eat him up. Not very nice of
me. But, darn it, it worked.

They share a quiet laugh, but as Harold thinks about it, he stops.

HAROLD
He hasn't spoken to me since.
And to this day, I can't really
be sure who was more frightened
that night. Old Rusty Thorne.
Or me.

Scott thinks about this.

The kettle whistles. Harold pours himself a cup of cocoa.

The Teen Wolf Theme booms'out. Teen Wolf stands in front of
a mirror, shaking to the beat, using the blow dryer all over
his fur -- smoothing it back -- combing his face.
He stuffs his furry.body into a tight white formal suit.

On his wall is a huge B & W poster of LON CHANEY AS THE WOLFMAN.

Teen Wolf holds up a fist and shakes it at the poster

TEEN WOLF
Lon Chaney! Nurnero Uno!

He looks in the mirror, straightens his collar, and snarls happily.

TEEN WOLF

0 What can I say? You're beautiful.

109. INT. BEACONTOWN HIGH SCHOOL - CORRIDORS - NIGHT 109.

Teen Wolf walks through the halls to the gym. Everything

has been decorated for the dance. He waves at other KIDS.
They either wave back -- or howl at him.

•A WOMAN in a formal gown -- one of the chaperones -- holding

a TODDLER comes up to him.

WOMAN
Scott, would·you mind, we'd love
to have a picture of you holding
our little Elliot.

TEEN WOLF
Why not?

Teen Wolf holds Little Elliot so that they both face the
Woman who is now holding an Instamatic camera. Little Elliot
turns his head and looks at Teen Wolf's face pulling on
some facial fur. Teen Wolf GROWLS playfully at him.

Little Elliot SCREAMS and starts crying.

The Woman grabs her boy out of Teen Wolf's hands and with
a dirty look, she stomps off --
Teen Wolf is left with a "Why me?" look on his face. He sighs.

BEAVERS ALL THE WAY! SHOTS OF TEEN WOLF IN ACTION.
"Fans" slap Teen Wolf on the back.

Up ahead, Teen Wolf sees Pamela standing apart from the rest,
dressed in blue, looking like an Ice Princess . .
Teen Wolf approaches. She has only a slight smile for him.

TEEN WOLF
Pamela. I hope you'll save
a dance or two for me.

PAMELA

She looks behind Teen Wolf. Mick, in a beautiful blue,

She smiles and nods her head.
The Crowd forms a circle around him. Teen Wolf takes Boof
by the hand and leads her in a rendition of "The Wolf" --
It is a dance mixing broad animal gestures, with some of
Scott's scratching, and an occasional howl -- all in time
to the music. One by one, nearly all the kids join in
mimicking these movements.
Stiles glides by dancing with Miss Hoyt, the Latin teacher.
Lewis and Tina dance beside Boof and Teen Wolf.
O· Lewis is still a little uneasy near Teen Wolf, but he smiles bravely.
STILES

All at once, all the dancers form a Conga line with Teen Wolf
at the lead, and Boof right.behind him. Stiles is on the end.
Everyone is having a ball, except for Thorne who frowns --

Pamela and Mick watch the proceedings. Pamela bounces ever so
slightly with the beat, but when she takes a step to join
the Conga line, Mick yanks her back to his side.
The Conga Line suddenly reverses direction, with Stiles at the
head of the line and Teen Wolf and Boof on the tail.
At this moment, Boof grabs Teen Wolf by the hand and they
run off the dance floor.

balance and somehow comes up with the ball. He passes off to
Chubby. Chubby's in the clear, takes half a step, and
chucks the ball with all his might. It bounces hard off the backboard--
