  • Andy McDermott : [Andy is having coffee with Serafine]  So do your parents mind us, uh-- meeting?

    Serafine : My parents are dead

    [Andy chokes on his coffee and starts coughing] 

    Serafine : are you ok? Want some water?

    Andy McDermott : No I'm fine. I do like coffee.

    [wipes himself with a napkin Serafine notices writing on it to which Andy thinking there is something on him looks down and notices nothing] 

    Serafine : Most guys who ask me on a date are usually trying to get me into bed.

    Andy McDermott : Well, that must be very terrible for a girl when that happens.

    Serafine : Why should I think you're any different? Isn't that why you brought your friends along? To witness you score?

    [Andy drops his coffee cup in shock and surprise] 

    Andy McDermott : No, that's not it at all.

    [Pulls out napkin from his shirt pockets, condoms accidentally come out as well; embarrassingly] 

    Andy McDermott : Chewing gum. It's, um-- uh-- the rage in the states. Take chewing gum to make it look like condoms, it's like a practical joke

    [Serafine trys to chew a condom but Andy suddenly takes it from her and chews it] 

    Andy McDermott : Nice and chewy.

    Serafine : I want you to blow a big bubble for me.

    Andy McDermott : [shocked]  What?

    Serafine : Well, it's-- it's a custom in France the bigger the bubble the more a boy likes a girl.

    Andy McDermott : [blows a condom bubble and it suddenly goes flying around and lands in a nearby cup of coffee]  Wow what a rip-off. My friends told me it was chewing gum. I thought...

    Serafine : I think it's best if I go.

    Andy McDermott : Oh no, no, no, please don't go. I'm just so nervous. And the more I like a girl, the more nervous I get. and if you go now and something happens to you that I blame myself for the rest of my life because I'd blow my chance to help.

    [she sits back down] 

    Andy McDermott : the moment I saw you on the tower, I was so moved by your sadness. I swore to myself I would try to help whatever it takes. No one as beautiful and sensitive as you can possibly deserve to be so sad.

    [She takes his hat off and feels his head] 

    Andy McDermott : Oh, god, i hate myself. I'm not the kind of guy you think I am.

    Serafine : If i go, it's nothing to do with you. No one can help me. And anyone who tries is...

    Andy McDermott : I hope you're not sorry that I saved your life?

    Serafine : It was the sweetest most courageous and selfless thing anyone's ever done for me.

  • Andy McDermott : [Serafine has just heated up a guy at a cafe; Andy is running after her to keep up with her on her bike]  Hey you were something else in there.

    Serafine : I'm sorry. I got carried away

    Andy McDermott : Oh no, that guy had it coming to him. Uh-- hey, how did you do that? He like-- that guy-- he weighed I don't know. Uh-- do you-- do you work out? Do you want me to leave

    [Serafine doesn't respond] 

    Andy McDermott : I guess that means yes.

    [Andy starts to walk away] 

    Serafine : Wait, stop.

    [Notices Andy's bloody nose; tries to kiss her] 

    Serafine : I have to go now. You mustn't get involved.

    Andy McDermott : Wait. When do I get to see you again?

    Serafine : I don't think we should, Andy it's only because I care about you.

    Andy McDermott : You have a funny way of showing it.

  • Andy McDermott : [Serafine is trying to defibrillate her stepfather]  Serafine?

    Serafine : Help...

    Andy McDermott : [notices what Thierrys vitals are flatlined]  Serafine?

    Serafine : [crying]  The cure-- if he dies, we have no hope.

    Andy McDermott : Serafine-- its-- he's gone. Let it go.

    Serafine : No.

    Andy McDermott : Yes.

    Serafine : They killed him. The bastards. We're doomed now.

    Andy McDermott : Well, let me have a shot at it.

    Serafine : But they ruined the lab--so many years of hard work.

    Andy McDermott : Did your stepfather leave any notes?

    Serafine : [motions him to a chart]  There.

    Andy McDermott : What does that represent?

    Serafine : A werewolf's biorhythm and how it's governed by the cycles of the moon. Thierry tried to keep me below the transformation threshold by injecting me with a depressant.

    Andy McDermott : And it had a reverse effect.

    Serafine : Yeah.

    Andy McDermott : All right, just so I'm totally clear here, with this drug, you can induce a transformation at any time of the month?

    Serafine : Oh my god, the samples, he left them in the cupboard over there.

    [Andy opens the cupboard and notices that all the samples are gone] 

    Serafine : Mon dieu.

    Andy McDermott : [notices an invitation to a July 4th party only for americans]  Oh, brother.

  • Serafine : [Andy is looking at her]  What?

    Andy McDermott : Did you know?

    Serafine : What is it?

    Andy McDermott : Did you know what he plans to do?

    Serafine : [sighs]  Yes, I did.

    Andy McDermott : And you did nothing to stop it.

    Serafine : Andy, I...

    Andy McDermott : How in gods name could you just stand by and...

    Serafine : For gods sakes, stop it. We may have a cure.

    [shows Andy her stepfather who is in a coma] 

    Serafine : Thierry, my stepfather.

    Andy McDermott : [notices his legs are missing]  Claude?

    Serafine : No.

    Andy McDermott : [realizes]  You?

    Serafine : And my mother, too. For time I managed not to harm anyone. Even the hearts my mother smuggled from the hospital we're from the dead. Two months ago, he was sure he had discovered a serum to suppress my lycanthropic cycle, only it had the reverse effect, I immediately transformed. My mother heard the noise from upstairs. And Thierry tried to escape through the underground. When I came to, I saw i had butchered my own parents. Now do you see why I was trying to kill myself?

    Andy McDermott : It's not your fault

    [hugs her; she notices a cut on Andy's shoulder and cleans it for him] 

    Andy McDermott : don't worry about me, it's Chris who has problems. We got to get him out of there.

    Serafine : [cleaning Andy's cut on his shoulder]  Claude is a bastard.

  • Andy McDermott : [Andy has accidentally shot Serafine as a werewolf]  Serafine, oh my god. Oh

    [covers her with his jacket] 

    Andy McDermott : just hang in there, okay? I'm going to get you out of here.

    Serafine : Oh, Andy, I won't make it.

    Andy McDermott : Huh? Don't quit on me now.

    Serafine : [pulls switchblade from Andy's pants]  Stop the pain, please?

    Andy McDermott : I can't.

    Serafine : Eat my heart, Andy. Let yourself go.

    Andy McDermott : Serafine, I'd rather kill myself.

    Serafine : For both of us then. It hurts so much. Please? Please?

    [Andy reluctantly raises the knife to kill her] 

    Serafine : We'll be free.

    [Cops appear and demand Andy to surrender] 

    Serafine : Hurry while you still can. Please? I love you. Please.

    Andy McDermott : No, I can't. Listen, let them help you. Everything will be ok, I promise

    [Andy runs off] 

    Andy McDermott : I got to get Claude, he's the last one.

  • Andy McDermott : [Andy has met Serafines mother but Serafine blocks him from seeing her]  Hey, um-- Mrs. Pigot, um-- I know this looks really kind of-- How do you do? Uh-- I can explain. It's really not her fault. Uh-- Serafine, could-- could you introduce us?

    Serafine's Mom (Alex Price-Pigot) : You wouldn't want to meet me. I'm not as attractive as I used to be.

    Andy McDermott : Oh, come on. I bet you two pass for sisters.

    [Realizing] 

    Andy McDermott : Wait a minute. Hold it. Didn't you say your mother was dead?

    [Sees Serafines mother reflection in the mirror and sees that she is a corpse] 

    Andy McDermott : Oh, my God.

    [Serafines mother screams and disappears] 

    Serafine Pigot : You scared her away.

    Andy McDermott : I scared her? Ha.

    [Puts his socks on] 

    Andy McDermott : That's it. My friends were right. You're nuts. Nurses with walking corpses, stealing hearts, and monsters and werewolves in the basement, and the whole thing with the thing and the thing.

    Serafine Pigot : Andy, let me explain, please?

    Andy McDermott : No, no, no, you already did. Look I don't know what you dosed me with, but I will not be the lab rabbit for some psychotic experiment

    [tries to open door but it's locked] 

    Andy McDermott : All right. Look-- all right, just stay away from me. Ok? Let me out of here?

    Serafine Pigot : You must drink this. Its-- it's the only thing that will help you.

    Andy McDermott : Yeah, not freaking likely.

    Serafine's Mom (Alex Price-Pigot) : [appears from behind him]  You should do as she says.

    [Andy screams and runs out the window] 

  • Chris : [Chris and Brad are helping Andy get ready for his date]  First thing we're going to do is work on your outfit. Now, okay-- remember 80% of all these French girls really go for that macho type

    [gives Andy his jacket and Brad's hat] 

    Brad : Oh, throwing it up on the playboy-- excellent.

    Chris : All right. Don't show any insecurities that's the worst.

    [Chris lends Andy his sunglasses] 

    Chris : and uh...

    Brad : [Serafine is approaching]  Split. She's coming. She's coming.

    Chris : [stuffs condoms in Andy's shirt pocket]  Here, be prepared.

    Andy McDermott : [embarrassed]  Oh, wait. Come on. Chris, it's our first date

    [takes condoms back out to hand them back] 

    Chris : [goes off to the side with Brad while looking at a map]  What are you a nun? Be cool. And, um-- show attitude.

    Andy McDermott : [leans on street lamp]  Serafine?

    Serafine Pigot : Hi

    Andy McDermott : Hi

    Serafine Pigot : I didn't recognize you.

    Andy McDermott : [referring to his sunglasses]  vOh, yeah. Uh-- well, it's bright.

    Serafine Pigot : What would you like to do?

    Andy McDermott : I don't know. Is there a.. cafe?

    Serafine Pigot : [chuckles]  We're in Paris

  • Serafine : [Serafine leads Andy to a entrance that leads to a drain pipe to save him]  Through there, hurry.

    Andy McDermott : Why? Where are we going?

    [He kisses her; she starts transforming, she grabs the back of his shirt] 

    Andy McDermott : Whoa.

    Serafine : [repressing her transformation]  You must go before it's too late.

    Andy McDermott : What? Now? We just got started.

    [She shoves him through the hole to get him going] 

    Andy McDermott : I'll never understand women.

    Serafine : [barely holding back from transforming]  Run. Your life is in danger.

    Andy McDermott : Really? Why? Is Claude your boyfriend?

    Serafine : [in pain she puts her hand on her face]  Ugh. Please go. Go. Go.

    [She suddenly looks at him her face starting to transform her voice sounding demonic] 

    Serafine : Dammit run!

    Andy McDermott : Serafine, what's wrong?

    [She throws a brick at him to get him to move along; he avoids getting hit] 

    Andy McDermott : What are you doing?

    Serafine : Run. Run for your life Andy. Run.

    [She throws another brick at him he manages to avoid getting hit again and finally moved along] 

  • Serafine : [Chris enters the cellar and discovers that she is locked in a cage]  What are you doing here?

    Chris : You're asking me?

    Serafine : Please stay away. Go now.

    Chris : Don't you want to get out of here?

    Serafine : Just leave me alone, please.

    Chris : Oh, is this some kind of kinky game or something, cause...

    Serafine : Where are your friends?

    Chris : They're at Claude's party waiting for you.

    Serafine : Party?

    Chris : Yeah, you know, that--that lunar thing.

    [Hands her the invitation] 

    Serafine : [alarmed]  Oh my god, they're in great danger. Get the key, over there.

    Chris : [gets the key to unlock her]  Wait, what kind of danger?

    Serafine : Just leave it to me. Ok?

    Chris : No way. If there's a problem I'm coming with you.

    Serafine : [opens the cage]  It's much too dangerous, believe me.

    Chris : Ok, now, hold on a second, hot pants, there's no way that I'm going to-h

    [she punches him knocking him unconscious]
