Chess Player There was this airplane over the Atlantic on its way to New York. It was full of men from the United Nations. So halfway over the ocean the engines run low on petrol so they have to lighten the plane. So they heave out all the baggage, but it's still too heavy. So they chuck out the seats, but it's still too heavy! Finally this Froggy steps up and shouts "Viva la France" and leaps out. Then an Englishman steps up and shouts 'God save the Queen!' and leaps out. But the plane is still too heavy. So the Yank delegate from Texas steps up, shouts, 'Remember the Alamo!' and chucks out the Mexican.

David It wasn't a lunatic.

Jack It's a pentangle, a five-pointed star. It's used in witchcraft. Lon Chaney, Jr., at Universal Studios maintained that's the mark of the Wolf Man.

Jack You're right, it is a pub.

David Okay, well, what do you say? We go in for a little food, huh? Drink, rest?

Jack The Slaughtered Lamb?

David [notices that the sign has a wolf head instead of a lamb] That's kinda strange.

Jack Where's the lamb?

David It's probably inside getting cold, come on.

Jack No, really. What kind of ad is that for a pub?

David I don't know, would you rather the Hilton?

Jack Alright, but whatever happens-- it's your fault.

Jack Jack, David: Oh, yes please.

🧡

🥱

Jack Remember the Alamo.

Barmaid I beg your pardon?

David Oh, he was just joking.

Barmaid Joking? I remember the Alamo. I saw it once in London... in Leicester Square.

Chess Player She means in the Cinema--that film with John Wayne.

Jack Right, with Laurence Harvey. Everyone died in it. Very bloody.

Chess Player Bloody awful, if you ask me.

[he and the bar patrons laugh uproariously]

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Alex Will I have to take such drastic action again, David?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Dr. J. S. Hirsch If the villagers believe that Jack Goodman was killed by a werewolf, why shouldn't David? And then it follows, that if he survived an attack by a werewolf, wouldn't he himself become a werewolf at the next full moon? Oh, I don't mean running about on all fours and howling at the moon; but, in such a deranged state he might harm himself. Perhaps other people.

🧡

David I don't know why I feel so good. I haven't felt this good in a long time! You know, my body feels great! I feel like an athlete. Let's go back to your place for a quickie, huh?

David How do you live?

Alex Carefully.

Jack What's that star on the wall for?

David Go on.

Alex I've had seven lovers in my life, three of which were one night stands. I don't know what I'm trying to say. Perhaps you'd like to watch telly whilst I take a shower.

Jack There's nothing dull - about that body.

Dart Player I've never missed that board before.

David Uh, Jack, we'd better go.

Nurse Susan Gallagher He's American, you know. Dr. Hirsch's gonna fetch one of them embassy fellas to see him.

Alex His chart says he's from New York.

Nurse Susan Gallagher Oh, I think he's a Jew.

Alex What makes you say that?

Nurse Susan Gallagher I've had a look.

Alex Really, Susan, that wasn't very proper. Besides, it's common practice now.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Nurse Gallagher, Nurse Price is quite right.

Alex Dr. Hirsch, Mr. Kessler called out just now.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Nurse Gallagher, surely you perform some function here at the hospital?

Nurse Susan Gallagher Yes, Doctor.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Then get on with it.

Nurse Susan Gallagher Yes, Doctor.

[she leaves]

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Can I be of service, Nurse Price?

Alex Dr. Hirsch?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Go about your duties.

Alex Yes, Doctor.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Oh, Nurse Price.

Alex Yes, Doctor?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch What exactly did he call out?

Alex He said, Jack.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch That would be Jack Goodman, the boy who was killed.

Alex What happened to them?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch The police report said they were attacked by an escaped lunatic. Must have been a very powerful man. Although I don't see that it's any concern of yours, Nurse Price.

Alex No, sir. Of course, sir. Good day, Doctor.

David No, I don't think so.

Alex Come back to bed now.

David Do I seem crazy to you?

Alex David, what is the matter?

David I just saw Jack again.

Alex Where? Here?

David Yeah.

Alex What did he say?

David He said that tomorrow I'll turn into a monster.

Alex Do you believe him?

David Do you believe me?

Alex I believe that you're very upset. I believe that you loved him very much and that somehow you blame yourself for his death.

David Did you ever see "The Wolf Man"?

Alex Is that the one with Oliver Reed?

David No, the old one.

Alex Um, I -I don't think so.

David Bela Lugosi bites Lon Chaney Jr. and he turns into a werewolf.

Alex [laughs] Why are you telling me this?

David No, no, listen. Claude Rains is Lon Chaney's father and he ends up killing him.

Alex So?

David Well, I think that a werewolf can only killed by someone who loves him.

Alex [smiling] What are you talking about?

David I don't know what I'm talking about.

Alex I'm torn between feeling very sorry for you, and finding you terribly attractive.

Barmaid Good afternoon, what can I get you?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Uh... Campari soda would do very nice I think.

Barmaid Sorry, love.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Oh, well then a small Guinness will suffice. Nasty business with those two young American boys, wasn't it?

Dart Player I don't know what you mean, sir.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Yes, I'm sure I'm right. A few weeks back. Last full moon wasn't it? I mean, the escaped lunatic, the one who killed the boy. Oh, a thousand thanks, madam. There we are. Well, that was around here, wasn't it?

Chess Player Where are you from, sir?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch London. Excuse me. Knight takes pawn.

Chess Player Oh, yeah.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Ah, cheers.

[Drinks his Guinness and then notices the five-point star on the wall]

Dr. J. S. Hirsch What's that?

Barmaid Oh, that's been there for 200 years. We were going to paint it out, but it's traditional, so we left it.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Ah, I see. So... You've heard nothing of this incident?

Dart Player Incident?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch The murder?

Chess Player [suspiciously] You a police officer?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Oh, good lord, no, no. No, I'm a doctor. I work in the hospital where they brought the Kessler boy. He was talking about werewolves. Monsters. I happened to be in the area so I thought...

Dart Player You thought what?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch I thought I'd look into the boy's story.

Chess Player Story about werewolves? Really, sir?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch [sits down] Like a game? Well?

Chess Player I think not.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Oh, surely, I'm not that impressive.

Chess Player No, no, sir, you're not. I don't feel like a game.

Barmaid [as the dart player gets up to leave] You off now?

Dart Player [as he puts on his jacket] Aye, I will not be long. I just wanna check on the dogs.

Chess Player The dogs are fine.

Barmaid No, there's no food here.

Jack [appears as an undead spirit] Can I have a piece of toast?

David Get the fuck outta here, Jack.

Jack Thanks a lot.

David No. I can't take this. Am I asleep now, or awake or what?

Jack I realize I don't look so hot, David... but I thought you'd be glad to see me.

[David is silent]

Jack David! You're hurting my feelings.

David Hurting your feelings? Has it occurred to you that it might be unsettling to see you rise from the grave to visit me?

Jack Sorry to be upsetting you, David, but I had to come.

David Aren't supposed to be buried someplace in New York?

Jack Yeah. Your parents came to my funeral. I was surprised at how many people came.

David Well why should you be surprised? You were a very well liked person.

Jack Yeah. I was, wasn't I?

David Well, I liked you.

Jack Debbie Klein cried a lot.

David Oh God. Am I asleep now or what?

Jack So, so you know what she does? She's so grief-stricken she runs to find solace in Mark Levine's bed.

David Mark Levine?

Jack An asshole. Life mocks me even in death.

David I'm going completely crazy.

Jack [suddenly shouting] DAVID!

David What?

Jack Now I'm really sorry to be upsetting you, but I have to warn you.

David Warn me?

Jack We were attacked by a werewolf.

David [covering his ears] I'm not listening to this.

Jack On the moors. We were attacked by a lycanthrope. A werewolf. I was murdered. An unnatural death. And now I walk the earth in limbo until the werewolf's curse is lifted.

David Shut up.

Jack The wolf's bloodline must be severed. The last remaining werewolf must be destroyed. It's you, David.

David What?

Jack Please believe me. You'll kill people.

David Nurse!

Jack Listen to me!

David Nurse!

Jack The supernatural, the power of darkness... it's all true. The undead surround me. Have you ever talked to a corpse? It's boring. I'm lonely. Take your life, David. Kill yourself... before you kill others.

[David is crying]

Jack Please don't cry.

Jack Beware the moon, David.

Alex You haven't eaten your lunch.

David Well, I'm not very hungry, thank you.

Alex I'm afraid you have to eat something.

David What?

[takes off headphones]

Alex You have to eat something.

David No, really, thanks, I'm not hungry.

[She takes off his headphones]

Alex You put me in an awkward position, Mr. Kessler.

David How'd I do that?

Alex [holds up pills] well, you're to take these after you've eaten. Now what sort of nurse would I be if I failed in so simple a task as handing out some pills?

David You can you leave the pills, I'll take them later.

Alex Sorry.

[Pulls open the curtains]

David Oh, come on, Nurse Price.

Alex You can call me Alex.

David Come on, Alex.

Alex [pulls off lunch tray revealing food] shall I be forced to feed you, Mr. Kessler?

David Uh, you can call me David.

Alex Shall I be forced to feed you, David?

David You know, this is absurd. I'm not hungry, I don't want any food.

Alex Right.

[Sits down next to him starts cutting into the cutlet then places a nap get on his lap she holds a cutlet up to him he crosses his arms in protest]

Alex Let's try a little harder, shall we?

David Would you give me a break?

[She pinches is nose making his mouth open and feeds him the cutlet]

Alex [cuts another piece and holds it up to him] Will I have to take such drastic action again, David?

David I'm sorry if I conflict with your report, Inspector, but Jack and I were not attacked by a man.

Inspector Villiers Hmm, so you've said.

Sergeant McManus He may have a point, sir. Two strong boys would be able to defend themselves against one man.

Inspector Villiers Sgt. McManus, are you suggesting the David and Jack were in fact attacked by some animal and that the officialdom of East Proctor has conspired to keep it a secret? We have an autopsy report on the murderer who was shot in the act by the local police. We have two witnesses to the crime. Now you'll forgive me, Mr. Kessler, if I consider your testimony as coming from someone who's gone through a terrible shock.

Sergeant McManus Inspector, the boy seems all right to me and...

Inspector Villiers And what, Sgt?

Sergeant McManus And I don't really know, sir.

Inspector Villiers That is precisely my point. David, as far as we are concerned the matter is now closed. We will trouble you no further, good day. Doctor.

[They leave]

David There were witnesses?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch So they said.

David How could there have been witnesses? It was so dark. We were running and I fell and Jack went to help me up and this-this thing came from nowhere. I don't know what they're talking about.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch It's time I'm sure it'll all come back to you.

David Doctor, my memory is fine. It's my sanity I'm beginning to worry about.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Hello, David. I'm Dr. Hirsch. This is a countrymen of yours, Mr Collins.

David Where am i?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch You're in a hospital in London.

David London? Where's Jack?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch David, I'd like you to prepare yourself. Your friend is dead.

David What?

[Tries to get up but lays back down in pain]

David Ow... shit. Jack is dead?

Mr. Collins Hi, I'm Mr Collins of the American embassy here in Grover Square. Both Mr Goodman's parents and your parents have been notified of your injuries and everything's in order.

David Who are you people? What's going on here, where's Jack?

[Dr. Hirsch restrains him]

David Get your hands off me. Let go of me, I want to see Jack.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Nurse!

David I want to see Jack.

Mr. Collins Mr. Kessler, I -I appreciate how upsetting this must be for you, but please, Mr. Kessler.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Twenty milligrams Sagetal I V., please.

Mr. Collins I appreciate how upset you are, but this is--this is no reason for hysterics. Mr. Kessler? Mr. Kessler, try not to excite yourself. I shall come back and check on your progress and send a report to your parents. The police have requested to interview you and I have given them permission to do so.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Thank you very much, Mr. Collins. He'll rest now. I'm sure everything will be fine once he's adjusted. He's had quite a shock.

Mr. Collins These dumbass kids, they never appreciate anything you do for them

[he leaves]

David How long have I been here?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch You've been unconscious since you were brought in 3 weeks ago.

David Three weeks...

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Now you've suffered some cuts and bruises, lost a little blood, nothing serious. Black and blue for a while. You'll have some dueling scars to boast of. That lunatic must have been a very fierce fellow. They say a mad man has the strength of ten.

David Lunatic?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch We've given you a pretty strong sedative. Rest now, Nurse Price will see to all your needs. You rest.

David It wasn't a lunatic.

Alex I beg your pardon?

David It was an animal.

Alex What?

David A wolf.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Did he say a wolf?

Alex Yes, I believe he did.

Joseph So what? Let him choke!

Jack [defensively] Do you mind? The man's a friend of mine!

Joseph Well, he ain't no friend to me.

Gerald Bringsley Gentleman, please.

Harry Berman A gun!

Ted I know where you can get a gun.

David Don't I need a silver bullet or something?

Jack Oh, be serious, would you?

David [puts his hand on face] Madness.

Harry Berman No, a gun would be good.

Judith Browns Yes, you just put the gun to your forehead and pull the trigger.

Gerald Bringsley But if you put it in your mouth, you'd be sure not to miss.

David [sarcastically] Thank you. You're all so thoughtful.

Alf A knife!

Harry Berman An electric shock!

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Alex, has David persisted in his werewolf fantasies?

Alex Dr. Hirsch what's wrong? Is this more serious than I know?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch I tried to investigate the attack. There are no records. The case was closed. Now they've "misplaced" the file. David's lacerations were cleaned and dressed before he arrived here. Yet, supposedly, no other doctor examined him before I did. The Goodman boy's in the ground already. He's no use to us. So, I went to the pub in East Proctor today, where I was convinced of two things: They were lying. There were no witnesses, no escaped lunatic. The whole community is hiding the truth of what actually happened out there.

Alex Surely you don't mean...

Dr. J. S. Hirsch David has suffered a severe trauma. I myself witnessed some form of mass neurosis in East Proctor. If all the villagers believe that Jack Goodman was killed by a werewolf, why shouldn't David? And then it follows that if he survived an attack by a werewolf, wouldn't he himself become a werewolf at the next full moon? Oh, I don't mean running about on all fours and howling at the moon, but in such a deranged state, he might harm himself, or perhaps other people.

Alex What shall we do?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch I think we should call the police.

Jack Hi, David.

David Good movie.

Jack Mm-hmm.

Jack I don't have to say anything, David.

David Aren't you going to say "I told you so?"

Jack If I were still alive, I probably would. But I did tell you so you schmuck.

David You look awful.

Jack Thank you.

David I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I don't know what I'm saying. I don't even know if it was me that killed those people last night. I don't remember doing it.

Jack What about the zoo?

David Well, even if I'm not the Wolf Man, I'm crazy enough to do something like that. And look at me, here I sit in a porno theatre in Piccadilly Circus talking to a corpse. I'm actually glad to see ya, Jack

Jack I want you to meet some people. David Kessler, this is Gerald Bringsley. Gerald's the man you murdered on the subway. We thought it best for you not to see him, as he's a fresh kill and still pretty messy.

Gerald Bringsley Yes. I do look most unpleasant.

David Why are you doing this to me?

Gerald Bringsley This isn't Mr. Goodman's idea. He's your good friend. Whereas I am a victim of your carnivorous lunar activities.

David Mr. Bringsley, I'm sorry. I have absolutely no idea what to say to you.

Gerald Bringsley You've left my wife a widow and my children fatherless. And I understand, I am to walk the earth and limbo, one of the living dead until the wolf's bloodline is severed and the curse lifted. You must die, David Kessler.

Jack David? This is Harry Berman and his fiancee Judith Browns.

Harry Berman Hello.

Judith Browns Hello.

Jack And each gentleman are Alf, Ted, and Joseph.

Ted Can't say we're pleased to meet you, Mr Kessler.

David What shall I do?

Jack Suicide.

Harry Berman You must take your own life.

David That's easy for you to say. You're already dead.

Gerald Bringsley No, David. Harry and I and everyone you murdered or not dead. The undead.

David Why are you doing this to me?

Jack Because this must be stopped.

Alex He doesn't remember. He woke up at the zoo.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch The zoo? Is he rational?

Alex Yes, he is. He's very excited and confused, but he's not crazy, if that's what you mean.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Have you read the papers today? Or listened to the radio or the television?

Alex No, why?

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Is David behaving strangely?

Alex [as David lays on the bed next to her affectionately biting at her] Uh... No, he's, uh, not really. He's rather enthusiastic.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Could you get here without any trouble?

Alex Yes, I should think so.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch I want you to bring David here straight away. I want him in my care. I'll notify the police that we've found him, but it's imperative you bring him straight to the hospital. You understand?

Alex Yes, Doctor.

Dr. J. S. Hirsch Now, your certain he's lucid? You won't need any help?

Alex A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court by Samuel L. Clemens. This is after the preface but before chapter one. A Word of Explanation. It was in Warwick Castle that I came across the curious stranger who I'm going to talk about. He attracted me by three things: his candid simplicity, His marvelous familiarity with ancient armor, and the restfulness of his company, for he did all the talking. We fell together, as modest people will, in the tail of the herd that was being shown through, and he at once began to say things which interested me.
