--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Inside a car. The two well-dressed occupants are eating burgers. One is looking through binoculars at the entrance of Chez Pierre. The other is doing a crossword puzzle. Behind them, in the backseat, are two crossbows.)
Man1: This is just what I'm talking about. We've been watching this girl for how long...
Man2: (Writing. Doesn't look up.) 3 years.
Man1: 3 years. Damn, what did we do to get assigned to this? There is nothing supernatural here. Nothing happens here. We sit here following this girl, who dates how often per week...
Man2: (Still writing. Doesn't look up.) 5 times.
Man1: This girl's got a better social life that the two of us put together. Hold on. Here she is. (Quinn steps out of a car, the door being held open by Jeffy.)
Man2: (Picks up a clipboard.) Contact. (Checks his watch.) 20:35pm. They're 5 minutes late for their reservation. (Hold his hand out.) 5 bucks.
Man1: (Hands over a sawbuck.) Damn. Jeffy is never on time.
(The Lawndale Strawberry. In the moonlight it looks like a heart, laid out on the grass. Circled around it are a group of vampires. They are standing inside a ceremonial circle. Inside the circle, there is a stick figure made up of bone chips and dust. The vampires are quietly chanting in Sanskrit. One vampire runs a dagger down his forearm. The dark blood drips onto the bone chips and is immediately soaked up. He hands the dagger to the next vampire.)
First Vampire: Now begins the ceremony.
(McGrundys Brew Pub is a bar filled by trendy 30 and 40 somethings, paying way too much for micro-brewery beer and showing they're still cool by listening to groundbreaking local bands like Mystic Spiral. The Spiral plays more covers here than at the Zen. This is a crowd that prefers the look of the alternative rather than its actuality.)
TRENT: We're Mystic Spiral, but we're thinking of changing the name. This next song should bring back some memories. (They start playing Won't Get Fooled Again, at least that's what it sort of sounds like. Monique walks in and takes a place at the bar. She doesn't blend with the crowd here. She catches Trent's eye and nods to him.)
(Daria and Tom are in the video store.)
TOM: You can't be serious.
DARIA: Totally. Strange Brew is Hamlet.
TOM: How so?
DARIA: The brewery in the film is the Elsinore Brewery. Claude murders his brother to take over the brewery. The McKenzie brothers are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
TOM: We have to rent this.
DARIA: And I didn't even have to mention the psychotic hockey player.
(The Lawndale Strawberry. Fires have been set up around it and their rise and fall gives the strawberry the appearance of a beating heart.)
VAMPIRE1: Bring forth the sacrifices. (The vampires bring two people who are tied and gagged. They are students from Lawndale High who are sometimes seen in the background.) You are blessed by taking part in this. Your deaths will bring a new life to us. (To the vampires.) Do it. (Knives flash and a spurt of red is seen.)
(Inside the Chez Pierre, Quinn and Jeffy are eating. Quinn is eating a salad and Jeffy is eating a rare, juicy steak. He cuts into it.)
QUINN: So then, Sandi says that pink is soo out for scrunchies, but then I said that it depends on what you're wearing. (Quinn pauses.) I suddenly feel queasy.
JEFFY: Mmm hmm. (Eating.)
(Out in back of McGrundys. Trent follows Monique outside.)
TRENT: I didn't expect to see you here..
MONIQUE: I just wanted to see you. Maybe get back together...
TRENT: Uh huh. I thought we had broken the old make-up break-up thing.
MONIQUE: But I have something new, something permanent.
TRENT: What is it?
MONIQUE: It's not a telling thing, it's a showing thing. (She leans over and starts kissing him.)
TRENT: I don't think this is such a good...
MONIQUE: Shh. (Moves her face to his neck and vamps out. She opens her mouth and bites into his neck. Trent struggles, then slumps over. She picks up his body effortlessly and walks off.) Everything is going to be perfect for us. (With a steely glint in her eyes.) Forever. (Jesse walks out just after Monique walks around the corner.)
JESSE: Trent, we got another set to do. Trent?
(The strawberry. A low rumbling is heard and a glow is seen from under the now pulsing red mass. Windows start breaking and car alarms go off.)
VAMPIRE1: Rise up! Rise up and return to life! (A glow surrounds the bone chips and a skeleton begins to coalesce. Red tendrils begin to entwine themselves around the new bones. The tendrils thicken and fill out the body. Eyes open and the body takes it's first breath and screams in agony.)
(Chez Pierre. Quinn doubles over in pain, knocking her glass to the floor. Jeffy runs around the table and holds her. The maitre'd appears looking concerned.)
QUINN: (gasping) I think you should take me home.
JEFFY: Are you ok?
QUINN: I will be when I get home. Let's go.
(The strawberry. The figure is still screaming. The light from under the strawberry brightens until it too bright to look at. A shaft of light bursts out of the top of the strawberry, illuminating all of Lawndale.)
(Jeffy helps Quinn into the car and drives off.)
MAN1: They're leaving early. She's holding her stomach. Do you think...
MAN2: Indigestion. Nothing happens on our watch. Let's go. (bt) Before we lose her. (Their car follows Quinn and Jeffy.)
(Monique's apartment. The windows have been painted black. Trent is laid out on her couch, completely motionless, not even his chest rising. Monique leans over and kisses him.)
Monique: I have to get going, love. Hopefully you'll not wake up until I'm back, but I have to go to work. My new boss _hates_ to be kept waiting. (She leaves.)
(Downtown Lawndale. Outside the video store. The shaft of light can be seen in the background. Sirens can be heard in the distance.)
TOM: I wonder what the sirens are for?
DARIA: Maybe it has something to do with that light. (Daria points towards the light)
TOM: Want to see what it is? Come on.
DARIA: Sure. Although I don't know if it will compete with Strange Brew.
(They turn the corner and walk headlong into a pair of vampires, feeding.)
TOM: Oof! Watch it. (bt) Daria. Let's go, _now_.
DARIA: Yes. (They back away slowly, then turn and run.) Was that what I thought it was?
TOM: Two vampires feeding on the blood of the living.
DARIA: I was afraid you were going to say that.
(Jeffy is driving fast. He keeps looking over at Quinn worriedly. Quinn smiles faintly at him.)
QUINN: I'll be ok. I feel better already. (bt) Look out! (Jeffy swerves to avoid a group of vampires walking down the center of the road. He avoids them, but jumps the sidewalk and runs into a building at high speed. There is no movement from the car as the vampires walk casually towards it.)
(The strawberry. The figures stops screaming abruptly. It slowly sits up and looks around.)
Master: How... How long?
Monique: 4 years.
Master: (Nods.) I am famished. Bring me sustenance. (She claps her hands and the other vampires spread out searching for food. She helps the Master up and a robe is placed around him.)
(Inside the two men's car. There is no one inside and the doors are ajar. Loud slurping sounds can be heard offscreen. We pan up to look out the windshield. Two vampires are feeding off of the two men. On the ground around them are the shattered remains of two crossbows.)
VAMPIRE1: (Drops the body and wipes his mouth on the back of his arm.) C'mon, we gotta bring food back or the Master'll be pissed.
VAMPIRE2: (drops the other body.) Let's see what's in the other car. (He nods towards Quinn's car. They both start walking towards the car when Jeffy leaps out from behind it and charges them.)
JEFFY: Aaaargh! (He starts pummeling the first vampire that stands there looking amused.)
Vampire1: Ow, quit it. (bt) Ow, quit it.
(Daria and Tom stop running. They're both breathing heavily. They are much closer to the Strawberry.)
DARIA: Do (bt) do you thing we're safe?
TOM: I Don't (bt) maybe.
VAMPIRE1: I don't think so. (They both look up in horror to see 4 vampires encircling them.)
TOM: Oh no.
VAMPIRE1: Keep them alive for the Master.
(The strawberry. The Master is sitting on a bench, feeding on a small child. He looks up.)
MASTER: How did you restore me?
MONIQUE: The Pyrhhic Balance.
MASTER: Ah. And what form is the balancing force to take?
MONIQUE: A slayer. (The Master tosses aside the dried husk on a pile of others who have met the same fate and is handed a new child. It screams weakly, but is cut off.)
(Jeffy's car. Jeffy is gone. The sounds of fighting can be heard offscreen. Quinn slowly moans and opens her eyes. The fighting stops.)
QUINN: Ohhh. (She opens her eyes.) What happened? Jeffy? Did we hit anyone? (She looks around. Hands reach in and pull Quinn out of the car.) Eep!
(Quinn is dragged out of the car and sees Jeffy's lifeless corpse tossed aside.)
VAMPIRE2: Here's a good one for the Master.
VAMPIRE1: Let's go.
QUINN: Jeffy? What did you do to him! You killed him! (Quinn's face rapidly changes expression, going from horror, to sadness, and finally to anger. Quinn kicks backward, into the knee of Vampire2, who lets Quinn go. Quinn does a spinning snap kick to the side of its head, knocking it down. She lands and runs into Vampire1, and begins punching him. He starts blocking and trying to hit back, but is blocked at every punch. The fury of Quinn's attack is pushing him further and further back, stopped only by the wall of the building. From offscreen a voice calls:)
VOICE: Quinn! Catch! (An object goes flying towards her and she plucks it out of the air with out looking at it. It is a sharpened, wooden stake. She plunges it into the chest of Vampire1, who disintegrates. She turns, flips the stake, and throws it into the back of the now fleeing Vampire2, who also disintegrates.)
QUINN: Thanks. (She turns and facefaults) You!
(Monique's apartment. Trent sits up gasping suddenly, a look of terror on his face. Then his face becomes terror. Trent vamps out, but he doesn't notice it.)
TRENT: Whoa. That was weird. (Looks around.) How did I end up at Monique's? (Trent stands up, a little unsteadily, but makes it to the door.) I gotta stay away from Monique. She's a bad influence. (Trent leaves.)
(Daria and Tom are circled by the Vampires.)
TOM: Are you sure there's nothing we can do to change your mind?
VAMPIRE1: I don't find negotiation with my lunch very interesting. Take them. (He suddenly looks surprised and opens his mouth, but no sound comes out. He disintegrates revealing Quinn in a dramatic pose.)
QUINN: Who wants some? (Notices Daria.) Daria! What are you doing here? (The vampires take this moment to charge Quinn who goes down under the crowd.)
DARIA: Quinn! (She rushes over and starts hitting one of the vampires. Tom runs over and grabs one of the vampires. It spins around and knocks him back into a tree. A figure steps out from around the tree with a crossbow and shoots Tom's vampire. Daria is picked up and tossed into some bushes. Quinn flips her vampire off of her and leaps up and stakes Daria's vampire. She turns and stakes her vampire and then looks around for more.)
QUINN: This is really easy. A bit gross with all the blood and all, but fun as well. I'm not even winded and I don't work out at all. Ewww, sweat. (Quinn shudders.) Daria? Are you ok?
DARIA: (From inside the bushes.) Ow. Why am I the only one who got tossed into a rose bush?
TOM: (Standing up. He rubs his side.) I'm gonna have one heck of a bruise here. (He limps over to Daria and gives her a hand up.) My lady. (He makes an exaggerated bow and winces in pain as he helps her up.)
DARIA: (Scratched up all over.) Ow. Never buy me roses. Ow, Ever. (bt) I think it's time for some answers. (Turns.) Mr. O'Neill?
O'NEILL: Eep!. Yes, well, uh, we should get you all home. I think things are dying down, so to speak. Ha ha, sigh.
(The strawberry. The master is wearing a robe and Monique is standing beside him.)
MASTER: Where am I to abode?
MONIQUE: Right this way. (She walks up to the slowly pulsing strawberry and opens a door with steps leading down. They enter, followed by the other vampires.)
(Lane front door. Trent looks normal again. He walks up and turns the handle. It's locked.)
TRENT: (Reaches into his pockets.) Forgot my keys again. Bummer. (Bangs on door) Janey! I'm locked out again. (Bangs on door again. Jane opens the door, yawning.)
JANE: Forgot your keys again, huh? I'm gonna have to start charging admission.
TRENT: Good one. Yeah.
JANE: You coming in or do you want an invitation?
TRENT: I guess.
JANE: Well, come in then. I'm going back to sleep. (Trent follows Jane inside. Trent vamps out behind Jane and bares his fangs and leans towards Jane and yawns. He changes back to his old appearance and rubs the back of his neck and yawns again. He walks into his room and shuts the door.)
(Underneath the strawberry. The Master walks around, looking at his new home. He nods appreciatively.)
Master: You have all done well. Lawndale was a suitable choice. Much blood will flow. It will be beautiful. And the new slayer will help me.
(Roll credits.)
