An American Werewolf in Paris

Claude is fully transformed. He sniffs the air, locks in on a scent and sets off through the tunnel.

ANDY

watches intently as the light in the puddle gets brighter. It starts reflecting on the wet concrete walls of this tunnel.

andy

(to himself)

Now.

Andy clicks on the flashlight, shines it at himself, and yells for all he's worth.

andy

HEY YOU DIRTY EVIL FUCK! C'MON AND GET ME! I DARE YOUR UGLY ASS! (etc.)

THE BEAST

cocks its head towards Andy's taunts. The sound of flowing water is closeby. The beast pounces towards Andy's voice, into

THE WET, SLIPPERY STAIRWAY

that Andy slid down that first night in the tunnels. The beast loses it's footing and slips helplessly down the slick, eroded stone, GROWLING furiously.

LEDUC

runs down a tunnel, towards Andy's screaming voice. The beam of his flashlight illuminates the landing ahead of him, halfway down the stairwell. He sees THE BEAST slide by, clawing in vain for a grip.

A METRO TRAIN

screams around the bend, lighting up the whole metro tunnel. Andy is still SCREAMING from his refuge under a ledge.

THE BEAST

shoots out of the stairwell and lands on the tracks. It looks up, frozen for a split second- it's horrible snarling face is caught in the speeding train's harsh glare...

SMASH!! Impact. The beast is sucked under the wheels and ground to bits between track and wheels.

LEDUC

at the landing, looks down the stairwell as the train rushes past.

ANDY

huddled next to the passing train, clenches his fist in victory.

andy

Yes!

The train passes. Andy gets up and shines his flashlight around the ground. The beasts body lies in chunks, smears, and puddles. The parts begin morphing back into Claude's human forms- A THIGH here, A PIECE OF SPINE there...

LEDUC inches his way down the last few feet of the stairway, using the rusty pipe for a handhold. He walks up with his flashlight and aims it at the BEAST'S HEAD, which finishes turning back into Claude's head.

Leduc glances at Andy. He takes a small envelope from his pocket and shakes out a single SILVER BULLET. He loads it into his gun and FIRES straight into Claude's lifeless head.

LEDUC

(to Andy)

I always wanted to do that. I saw it in a movie.

andy

What about me?

LEDUC

My men think you died and floated away in the Seine. If I wanted to, I could let them believe that.

(a long pause)

But that would be illegal...
