Signs Of Life

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 31 of ZOMBIE & JULIET, Rommy, Brick, Gaga and the rest of the revolutionaries recover from surviving the zombie attack. Meanwhile, Jool searches the skyline for any sign of Rommy ...


INT. SWAT TRUCK - NIGHT
Rommy’s behind the wheel.
Grim. Determined.

Brick rides shotgun,
eyes bleary from too much weed.
Wasted.

BRICK
(sings)
'With their tanks and their bombs,
and their bombs and their guns --
zombie, zombie, zombie -- '

GAGA
So where to next?

ROMMY
First we go get Jool,
then find somewhere
to make the vaccine,
and THEN go to the media.
(turns, looks at them)
So no more Doobie Brothers, okay?

GAGA
I’m fine. Just have a mellow buzz.
Still fully functioning --
(looks at Brick)
Not like Zombie Garcia here.

BRICK
Chill OUT. Relax.
I’m just blowing off
some steam, okay?
Surviving a zombie
apocalypse is STRESSFUL.

ROMMY
Yeah, and so is having
your romantic rendezvous
FUCKED UP by ARMED GUARDS.

GAGA
That must of been rough.

ROMMY
Yeah, well the story’s
gonna have a happy ending.
(looks out the window)
We’re almost there --

Rommy pulls the picture
out of his pocket.
Sneaks a look.

It BLOWS out the window.
He tries to grab it --

ROMMY
Shit.

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.
