Chapter 2: The Drink
Merton is running around the chem. lab. He sets a timer then checks on a boiling beaker.
Merton: Finally in ten minutes my genius serum will be ready. I'll be smarter cooler and better coordinated.
Right then Merton trips over one of TNT's water guns.
Merton: Might as well do an experiment while I wait.
Just outside the door Lori and Tommy are discussing something Intently.
Lori: What should we tell him Tommy?
Tommy: We should just keep it plain and simple. I'll just go up to him and say, "Merton we're taking Becky home for you.
Lori is about to slap Tommy upside the head then stops herself
Lori: You know what I mean Tommy what should we tell Merton about us?
Tommy: (smiling) so there definitely is an us now.
Lori: I don't know about that.
Tommy: Then we shouldn't tell him anything right now.
Just then a beeper goes off.
Lori: that's my parents I should go call them I'll meet you back at the car
Lori goes to give Tommy a peck on the cheek but ends up giving him a deep kiss that last a while. In the background Merton is looking through the door with his mouth open. The kiss ends and Lori walks off down the hall
Merton: Whoa! That must have been some dance.
Tommy is startled and turned around in surprise
Tommy: Merton, buddy let me explain
Merton: No need Tommy. This is just like many teenage movies such as Drive Me Crazy staring Melissa Joan Heart.
Tommy: What happened?
Merton: Well it was supposed to be a big hit due to its pop star backing but...
Tommy: (sighs) what happened in the movie?
Merton: Some little Leonardo DiCaprio wanna be tried to make a move on Becky.
Tommy slaps Merton In the back of the head.
Tommy: In the movie movie.
Merton: The two main characters hook up at a high school dance. So I assume you and Lori are going out now.
Tommy: Not exactly.
Merton: Why not?
Tommy: We decided to take it slow.
Merton: Sure.
Tommy: So, what have you been up to?
Tommy goes into the chem. lab looking at all the boiling chemicals.
Tommy: You're not trying to make more of that genius serum are you?
Merton leads Tommy away from the genius serum to the other side of the lab.
Merton: No of course not. I was just doing an experiment to help you deal with your lycanthropy
Tommy: You mean you found a cure!
Merton: No but I might be able to reverse the effects of certain lycanthrope unfriendly chemicals.
Tommy: Huh?
Tommy takes a drink of water from a red plastic cup on the counter.
Merton: By diluting silver nitrate in regular water I was able to isolate its harmful components and nullify them.
Tommy looks thoroughly confused.
Merton: In other words I found a cure for the silver water.
Tommy: Oh cool cuz that stuff stings.
Merton: Yes, well our friends TnT used a more concentrated form of silver nitrate then I've been working with.
Tommy: Whatever man. I gotta get going. I'm gonna take Becky home for you and I'll stop by your place tomorrow morning.
Merton: Yeah, thanks man I appreciate it. See you tomorrow.
Merton watches Tommy walk away in the same direction Lori went. He then returns to his work, picking up the red plastic cup.
Merton: Hey, what happened to the silver nitrate.
