Chapter 5: the Fight and the Break-in

The gang is in the Lair. Tommy is sleeping and Lori is sitting on the edge of the bed holding his hand. Merton is standing in the corner reading a book and looking up from time to time with an annoyed expression.

Merton: He's not going to wake up anytime soon. You can move you know.

Lori: Well at least I'm trying to help him feel better.

Merton: What is that suppsed to mean? For your information I'm trying to find an alternate cure for MY best firend.

Lori: (yelling) He's my friend too! Your just upset because he like better thatn you now.

Merton: (also yelling) Yeah right! You two arent even going out and who's he known longer anyway?

The fight wakes up tommy who looks very weak and angry.

Tommy: (as loud as he can mange) Guys just shut up! If you cant work together peacefully then just leave. Id rather die alone then to e here with you two fighting like this.

Lori: But he…

Merton: No she…

Tommy: both of you just get out.

Merton and Lori both leave a very upset Tommy and go to the factory.

Lori: We screwed up this time.

Merton: You're telling me.

Lori: Alright. Dingle how do we get more of that cure.

Merton: All of it was stolen from my Lair. The only other place that might have some is the lab at school.

Lori: then we go to the school and jget it.

Merton: Lori you're talking crazy the school is closed today

Lori: That won't stop me. How much time do we have?

Merton: About two hours. Let's go.

Various shot of the hearse mixed with Tommy limping around Pleasantville.

T.I.M.: I know I shouldn't be out of bed, I feel awful about yelling at my friends. I have to find them and settle this whole thing. It might be the last thing I do.

Lori is picking the lock on the school door while Merton nervously keeps watch.

Merton: Are you sure you can do this?

Lori: of course, I used to do this all the time at Catholic. There.

The door pops open and they both go inside.
