Eternal Sunshine Of The Infected Mind

Hey there, crime kids. Happy Hump Day. It's time once again to take a trip to the dark side, where your most violent fantasies become sins of the flesh, right here, where the hardboiled action is non-stop, at the coolest crime joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.

In Chapter 28 of ZOMBIE & JULIET, Rommy and Jool are finally reunited on the roof of Jool's building, but are horrified to discover that they're both infected with the zombie virus ... and that a hoard of walking dead is about to attack ...


EXT. CARLING’S MANSION - ROOF - NIGHT
Jool, Nin and Ginger sit
on the ledge of the roof.

Look down below at the devastation.
Searching for signs of life.

JOOL
Look.
Over there in the park.
There’s another pack of them.

GINGER
'Zombies in the park.'
That’s a LONG way
from the Globe Theater.

JOOL
(sees something)
Ohmigod. ROMMY.
He’s HERE.
I KNEW he was coming.

EXT. CARLING’S MANSION - FRONT ENTRANCE - NIGHT
The SWAT truck is parked
in front by the curb.

Rommy, Brick and Gaga
stand on the sidewalk.
Look at the building.

BRICK
Nice digs.

GAGA
So this is how the other half --
(beat)
Uh -- lived.

ROMMY
I’ll go inside first.
You guys stay outside
and keep a lookout.

ON THE ROOF
Jool waves frantically.
Beaming. SO fucking excited.

JOOL
ROMMY.
Up HERE.

ROMMY
Looks up.
Sees her.

ROMMY
Ohmigod, JOOL.
THERE you are.
I’m COMING UP.

JOOL (O.C.)
I’m coming DOWN --

IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING
Rommy RACES inside.

ON THE ROOF
Jool RUNS to the trap door.
FLIES down the ladder.

ON THE MAIN STAIRWAY
Rommy RACES up the stairs.

IN THE PANIC ROOM
Jool WHIPS the door open.
RUNS into --

THE CORRIDOR
Where Rommy RUNS toward her.
They FLY into each other’s arms.

ROMMY
I thought I’d lost you FOREVER --

JOOL
I KNEW you’d come find me.

They gaze into each other’s eyes.
Jool strokes his face.

JOOL
You DID get infected.

ROMMY
It’s okay.
We have a vaccine.

JOOL
You DO?

ROMMY
Yeah.
It’s gonna be okay --
(studies her face)
You’re infected, too.

JOOL
I’m okay.
Just feel a little --

She COLLAPSES in his arms.

JOOL
Tired.

And goes out like a light.

ROMMY
JOOL.

ON THE ROOF
Nin and Ginger scan the horizon.
See something.

GINGER
Oh, no.
The zombies in the park --

NIN
Are coming THIS WAY.
