Dr. Jekyll and the Tail of Mr. Hyde
1 INT. LABORATORY - NIGHT
As the rain pours outside the dark, creepy basement, a mysterious figure, a DOCTOR, to be exact, is hard at work on an amazing new discovery... that he's quickly getting impatient with.
DOCTOR
(Turns to glance out the window.)
Look at that storm... It's raining cats and dogs out there, huh?
(Looks down.)
A small yellow CAT sits, staring up at him from the floor, its long tail tapping in admiration.
DOCTOR (CONT'D)
If you'll pardon the pun, my feline friend.
(Sighs deeply.)
Well, back to work.
(Turns back to the table.)
The CAT, wanting more attention from its usually busy owner, begins to rub against the DOCTOR's leg, mewing.
DOCTOR (CONT'D)
Please...
(Picks up the CAT and sets it aside.)
I have to finish this. Tonight.
Upset, the CAT glares at him, then pounces onto the table, setting off a chain reaction of events that results in a syringe flipping into the air and landing point down on the CAT's tail. The CAT lets out a yowl and jumps off the table, the syringe falling off as the pet makes its escape through the "doggy door."
DOCTOR (CONT'D)
Mr. Hyde!
(Throws open the door and looks out into the raging storm.)
Mr. Hyde, come back!
As the CAT runs through the rain, the DOCTOR frowns, staring at the syringe in his hand, then nods as he decides on his next plan of action. Turning back to his laboratory, he swiftly slams the door behind him, allowing only his shadow to be seen from outside. As the DOCTOR returns to his work, a new fervor instilled in his soul, the names "Dr. Jekyll, M.D., and Mr. Hyde" can be seen printed plainly on the door frame.
