Here, lads, East Proctor and all about are the moors. I go east here.
Jack Yes, well thank you very much for the ride, sir. You have lovely sheep.
Boys, keep off the moors. Stay on the road. Good luck to you.
Jack And stay on the road.
Jack Do you think she'll meet me in Rome?
I think Debbie Klein is a mediocre person with a good body.
Jack Debbie is not mediocre and she has one of the great bodies of all time.
She's a jerk.
Jack You're talking about the woman I love.
I'm talking about a girl you want to ****, so give me a break.
Jack Well, anyway, do you think she'll be there?
I don't know.
Jack Rendezvous in Rome starring Jack Goodman and Debbie Klein. The love affair that shocked Europe! See torrid lovemaking at its most explicit! See Jack and Debbie expose their lust in the sacred halls of the Vatican! Never has the screen dared....
If you don't stop, I'm going to kill you.
Jack I have to make love to her. It's very simple. She has no choice really.
It just fascinates me that you can spend so much energy on someone so dull.
Jack There is nothing dull about that body.
We've known Debbie what, since the eighth grade? How many years of foreplay is that?
Jack She says she "likes me too much".
[David laughs]
Jack The Slaughtered Lamb?
Of course, The Slaughtered Lamb. Why else would they have a severed fox head on a spear as their symbol?
Jack That's a wolf's head.
Of course, The Slaughtered Lamb. Why else would they have a severed wolf's head on a spear as their symbol?
Jack That's not a spear. It's a pike.
A severed wolf's head on a pike as their symbol.
Jack David, before we go in there I want you to know that - no matter what happens to us - it's your fault.
I assume full responsibility.
Jack Okay.
Shall we?
Jack Say, David....
I'm well aware of how pleasant the weather is in Rome at the present time thank you.
Jack David, now I know this may be hard for you, but I have to warn you.
Warn me? Will you get out of here, you meat loaf?
Jack I'm a grisly sight, it's true; but I love you and that's why I'm here. You've got to know.
If you love me so much, Jack you'll realize how disconcerting it is to share one's breakfast with the living dead!
Jack We were attacked by a werewolf.
I'm not listening! [covers ears]
Jack On the moors, we were attacked by a lycanthrope, a werewolf.
Shut up, you zombie!
Jack I was murdered, an unnatural death, and now I walk the earth in limbo until the werewolf's curse is lifted.
What's wrong with you? Shut up!
Jack The wolf's bloodline must be severed; the last remaining werewolf must be destroyed.
Will you be quiet?!
Jack It's you David.
What?!
Jack You survived and now you shall continue the curse.
What are you talking about? I won't accept this! Get out! Goddamnit!
Jack Remember what that guy at The Slaughtered Lamb said? `Beware the moon.'
Stop it, Jack.
Jack Beware the moon. The full moon, David. You've got two days.
Jack, please go away. Please go away.
Jack You'll stalk the streets of London a creature of the night.
You're talking like Boris Karloff! It's movie dialogue!
Jack David, please believe me. You will kill people, David. You've got to stop the bloodshed before it begins.
Nurse!
Jack Listen to me! Take your own life, David. It's our only chance.
Nurse!
Jack The supernatural! The powers of darkness! It's all true. Take your own life! Suicide, David. Join me.
Nurse! Oh God! Alex!
Jack It's cold, David, and I'm so alone. The undead surround me. Have you ever talked to a corpse? It's boring! I'm lonely! Kill yourself, David, before you kill others...Beware the moon, David.
What are you doing here?
Jack I wanted to see you.
Okay, you've seen me. Now go away.
Jack David, I'm sorry I upset you yesterday, but you must understand what is going on.
I understand all right. You're one of the undead and I'm a werewolf.
Jack Yes.
Get out of here, Jack!
Jack David, tomorrow night is the full moon. You'll change, you'll become....
A monster. I know, I know.
Jack You must take your own life now, David, before it's too late.
Jack, are you really dead?
Jack What do you think?
I think I've lost my mind. I think you're not real. I think I'm asleep and you're a part of another bad dream.
Jack You must believe me.
What, Jack? That tomorrow night beneath the full moon I'll sprout hair and fangs and eat people? Bullshit!
Jack The canines will be real. You'll taste real blood! Goddamnit, David, please believe me! You'll kill and make others like me! I'm not having a nice time, David! Don't allow this to happen again! You must take your own life!
I will not accept this! Now go away!
...
Jack This is not pretend, David.
I will not be threatened by a walking meat loaf!
What can I say, Jack?
Jack You don't have to say anything.
Aren't you going to say, "I told you so"?
Jack If I was still alive, I probably would.
Jack I want you to meet some people. David Kessler, this is Gerald Bringsly.
Hello.
Jack Gerald is the man you murdered in the subway. We thought it best you didn't see him as he's a fresh kill and still pretty messy.
Yes, I do look most unpleasant.
Why are you doing this to me, Jack?
This isn't Mr. Goodman's idea. He is your good friend, whereas I am a victim of your carnivorous lunar activities.
Mr. Bringsly, I'm sorry. I have absolutely no idea what to say to you.
You've left my wife a widow and my children fatherless. And I understand that I am to walk the earth one of the living dead until the wolf's bloodline is severed and the curse lifted. You must die, David Kessler.
Jack David, this is Harry Berman and his fiancee Judith Browns. And these gentlemen are Alf, Ted, and Joseph.
Can't say we're pleased to meet you, Mr. Kessler.
What shall I do?
Jack Suicide.
You must take your own life!
That's easy for you to say - you're already dead.
No, David. Harry and I and everyone you murder are not dead. The undead.
Why are you doing this to me?
Jack Because this must be stopped.
How shall I do it?
Sleeping pills?
Not sure enough.
I could hang myself.
Jack If you did it wrong, it would be painful. You'd choke to death.
So what? Let `im choke.
Jack Do you mind? The man's a friend of mine.
Well he ain't no friend of mine.
Gentlemen, please.
A gun.
I know where he can get a gun.
Don't I need a silver bullet or something?
Jack Be serious, would you?
Madness. I've gone totally mad.
A gun is good.
You just put the gun to your forehead and pull the trigger.
If you put it in your mouth, then you'd be sure not to miss.
Thank you, you're all so thoughtful.
Jack It's a full moon...
David & Jack Beware the moon...
Keep off the moors.
Jack And stick to the road.
Jack I vote we go back to the Slaughtered Lamb.
Yeah, great idea.
Jack Did you hear that?
I heard that.
Jack What was it?
Could be a lot of things.
Jack Yeah?
A coyote.
Jack There aren't any coyotes in England.
The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Jack Pecos Bill.
Heathcliff.
Jack Heathcliff didn't howl!
No, but he was on the moors.
Jack Can I have a piece of toast?
...Get the **** outta here, Jack.
Jack Thanks a lot.
No.. I can't take this... Am I asleep now or awake or what?
Jack I realise I don't look so hot, David... [picks toast] but I though you'd be glad to see me. [beat] David! You're hurting my feelings!
Hurting your feelings? Has it occurred to you that it might be unsettling to see you rise from the grave to visit me?
Jack Sorry to be upsetting you David, but I had to come. [munch]
Aren't you supposed to be buried someplace in New York?
Jack Yeah. Your parents came to my funeral. I was surprised at how many people came.
Why would you be surprised? You were a very well-liked person.
Jack Yeah. I was, wasn't I?
Well, I liked you.
Jack Debbie Klein cried a lot.
Oh God, am I asleep now or what?
Jack So.. so you know what she does? She's so grief-stricken she runs to find solace in Mark Levine's bed.
Mark Levine?
Jack An asshole. Life mocks me even in death.
I'm going completely crazy....
Jack ...DAVID!!
What!?
Jack Now, I'm really sorry to be upsetting you, but I have to warn you.
Warn me?
Jack We were attacked by a werewolf.
Jack On the moors. We were attacked by a lycanthrope. A werewolf. [David uncovers ears] I was murdered. An unnatural death. And now I walk the earth in limbo until the werewolf's curse is lifted.
Shut up!
Jack The wolf's bloodline must be severed. The last remaining werewolf must be destroyed. [beat; points] It's you, David.
What...?
Jack Please believe me. You'll kill people.
NURSE!!
Jack Listen to me!
Nurse..!
Jack The supernatural, the power of darkness — it's all true. The undead surround me. Have you ever talked to a corpse? It's boring! I'm lonely! Take your life, David. Kill yourself... before you kill others. [David sobs] Please don't cry. [hears nurse coming] Beware the moon, David.
