Jocks Gone Wild

Happy Thursday, crime slicksters. It's time once again to take a trip to the dark side, where the girls are hot, the drinks are cold, and the hardboiled-pulp-noir action is non-stop, right here, at the coolest crime joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.

In Chapter 4 of FRANKENSTEIN IN LOVE, Peggy shows officer Chet Beverage the dead rat her son Frankie brought back to life. Meanwhile, Frankie and Josh tangle with head cheerleader Shayla Petrie's boyfriend Willis, who tries to bully them ...


INT. SUBURBAN HOME - KITCHEN - DAY
Peggy and Chet stand in front of
the door to the basement.

The rat SQUEALS and BANGS
against the door.

PEGGY
I opened the back door
to take out the garbage,
and it ran in here
like a little devil
and went down to the basement.

CHET
Why didn’t you call
an exterminator?

PEGGY
Because it was, uh --
(eyes wide)
Already dead.

EXT. SUBURBAN HIGH SCHOOL - DAY
School’s out. Students leave
the building like a stream of ants.
Laughing and shouting as they walk.

EXT. SCHOOL PARKING LOT - DAY
Frankie and Josh walk
towards Frankie’s car.

JOSH
But that’s CRAZY.
You can’t do that.
I've seen the movie.
It DOESN’T end well.

FRANKIE
Well, that’s because he used
body parts from several people --
but what about reanimating
a whole person?

MALE VOICE (O.C.)
Hey, LOOK.
THERE they are.
Don’t ask, don’t SMELL --

Reveal WILLIS GRUBB (18),
big and massive --
and Shayla’s boyfriend,
with his cohort KIRK KIRK, JR.
(18), even bigger.

Jocks Gone Wild.
Staring at them.
Fists clenched.

KIRK
And where are you two
love birds off to?

WILLIS
Wait -- don’t tell me.
They’re gonna Eat, Pray, Fuck.

They both BURST into laughter.
High-five each other.

FRANKIE
I don’t know what the hell
Shayla sees in you,
you fat fuck.
You don’t DESERVE her.

JOSH
(whispers)
Frankie --

Willis’ face turns red.

WILLIS
I’m gonna fucking KILL you --

Frankie KICKS him in the balls.
Willis keels over in pain.

WILLIS
OW --

KIRK
You little SHIT --

Josh WHIPS OUT pepper spray
and SHOOTS it in Kirk’s eyes.

KIRK
(wiping them)
My EYES, my EYES --


And they take TAKE OFF.

EXT. FRANKIE’S VOLKSWAGON BUS - CONTINUOUS
Frankie and Josh pile
into Frankie’s van.
SLAM the doors.

JOSH
I can’t believe you
fucking DID that.

FRANKIE
Neither can I --
