      Episode 5.1: A hairy night

      INT. TOM'S BEDROOM

      Tom's alarm goes off and the radio begins playing. We see
      the view of the street from Tom's bedroom window.

                          REPORTER
                     (V.O.)
                - of Sunset Ranch. How are the
                horses holding up after last
                night's scare?

                          RANCHER
                     (V.O.)
                All accounted for, but I tell you,
                they-

      Tom wakes with a start and snoozes it.

      INT. COURTNEY AND TOM'S APARTMENT, MORNING

      Courtney is eating breakfast. Tom, clad in pajamas, comes
      out of his room looking very bedraggled.

                          COURTNEY
                So, your date went well last night!

                          TOM
                What? No. What?

                          COURTNEY
                You got in laaaaate. Spill.

                          TOM
                She's YOUR friend, call her.

                          COURTNEY
                Phones are for losers. I want to
                feel like I'm THERE.
      oN THE WORD "thERE", WE cut to:

      INT. RESTAURANT, THE NIGHT BEFORE

      A well-dressed Tom sits with Kayla (although we don't see
      her face) in the outdoor sidewalk part of a bistro, and they
      look over the menu. Pajama-clad Tom and Courtney are in the
      background, watching.

                          TOM
                Mmmm... bacon cheeseburger, rare.

      Reveal Kayla, the woman he's sitting with.

                          KAYLA
                Rare?

                          TOM
                I know, "disease", but this place
                has an A health code.

      Kayla gives him a bemused look.

                          TOM
                I always check, because I like my
                meat bloody.

      Pajama-clad Tom and Courtney standing in the restaurant,
      watching.

                          TOM
                To which she responded: Cards on
                the table: I'm a vege-terrible.

      Well-dressed Tom and Kayla at table.

                          KAYLA
                Cards on the table: I'm a
                vegetarian.

                          TOM
                Ha! Vege-terrible!

                          KAYLA
                What delightful word play,
                Petruchio.

                          TOM
                I mean, oh, shit. I'm sorry. You
                just look good for a vegetarian.
                Not pale or sickly or anything.
      Cut to:

      39A

      Pajama-clad Tom and Courtney.

                          COURTNEY
                Are you serious?
      cut to:

      39

      Well-dressed Tom and Kayla.

                          KAYLA
                Are you serious?

                          TOM
                No, no! I'm totally joking! I mean,
                not entirely. I do crave meat...
                like... you... bleeding...
                spinach... which has less iron than
                it's advertised to have! Ha! No....
                     (These are mumbles. Mostly
                     incoherent until-)
                Just ignore what I said. Except for
                the part where I said you looked
                good. That part was true.
      cut to:

      39A

      Pajama-clad Tom and Courtney.
      

                          COURTNEY
                     (laughing)
                You have to warn Jesse: werewolfism
                makes you awkward turtle.

                          TOM
                Lycanthropy.

      39

      Well-dressed Tom and Kayla.

      Kayla's fork hovers midair, full of salad, on the way to a
      big bite, but paused as she watches Tom eat his entire
      (large, gourmet) burger in 4 bites. Grease is running down
      his chin. He's grinning happily.

      In the background pajama-clad Tom is miming holding and
      enjoying the burger and the grease as he tells the story.
      He's reliving this meal.

                          TOM
                Oh, man. I feel so much better now.

                          KAYLA
                Do you always bolt your food like a
                wolf?

      Pajama-clad Tom looks up suddenly from his imaginary burger.
      Beat. Well-dressed Tom carefully looks up from his search
      for more grease and watches Kayla for a moment, very still.
