      Episode 6.4

      EXT. BELMONT CANYON ENTRANCE, CONTINUED

                          TOM
                HEY! I could be your new partner!

                          MARIE
                Sorry hun, you're not my preferred
                gender, age, disposition, or level
                of hairiness.

                          TOM
                For dog-walking, I mean. I know
                lots about dogs. Did you know that
                the toxin in chocolate also affects
                humans and-

                          MARIE
                You do too many drugs. I'm not
                judging. You seem like a nice
                fellow, but animals are people too,
                and they need someone dependable,
                and so do I.

      Tom is getting a puppy exuberance.

                          TOM
                I'm dependable. I don't do drugs. I
                promise. You'll see.

                          MARIE
                No, Tom. I'm sorry.

      Tom continues walking with Marie, silently. A sly smile
      crosses his face.

                          TOM
                Ok. I understand. See you tomorrow.

      Marie turns to ask what/why, but Tom is gone, running.

      EXT. BELMONT CANYON, EARLY MORNING

      Tom waits. Marie walks into Belmont Canyon with dogs.

                          MARIE
                Hi, Tom. I'm not paying you.

      He holds his hands out. She passes him some dogs.

      EXT. BELMONT CANYON ENTRANCE, NEXT DAY

      Tom waits. Marie walks up with dogs pulling her.

                          MARIE
                Ok. I'm Marie.

      Tom takes the leashes. The dogs fall into line behind him.

      EXT. BELMONT CANYON, NEXT DAY, SAME DEAL: TOM WAITS

      This time Tom is sitting. He's been waiting longer than
      usual. He's getting nervous. He paces. Then suddenly, Tom
      begins to twitch with the coming wolf, but Marie arrives,
      and he manages to subsume it.

                          MARIE
                Something the matter with your
                hand?

      Tom looks down. It's covered in fur. He holds it behind him.
      and takes the leashes with the other hand. Dogs behave well.
      He lies poorly.

                          TOM
                Sprained it yesterday rescuing a
                cat from a vat of Rogaine... It was
                a strange day.

      Marie appraises the answer, but continues walking.

                          MARIE
                Ok... Ok. You'll get $5 a dog an
                hour. But no sex. I'm still a
                lesbian, Tom.

                          TOM
                Could I get an advance, for rent?

      Marie stops. Tom, not oblivious, stops, too. Beat.

                          MARIE
                Ok.

      Episode 7.1: Training

      INT. TOM AND COURTNEY'S APARTMENT

      Courtney and Jacob sit on the couch, facing each other, deep
      in conversation. We just hear the end of Jacob's line.

                          JACOB
                For the first 2 years of the
                program you can't handle currency.
                You're not even allowed to purchase
                any kind of clown make-up.

                          COURTNEY
                So serious for a clown-

      Tom enters, carrying a large foldable kennel. They look at
      him. Clearly, they were having a serious relationship
      conversation (that was going well). Tom pushes the coffee
      table away and begins setting up the kennel in front of
      Courtney and Jacob. They watch him for a bit.

                          COURTNEY
                Tom, guess what!

                          TOM
                I have to get a handle on this. So
                I'm going to induce an episode and
                then control it.

                          COURTNEY
                You've given up on any non-werewolf
                possibilities?

                          TOM
                Samantha didn't have a better
                explanation.

                          COURTNEY
                Samantha had lots of explanations.

                          JACOB
                But none of them better than that
                Tom has a young wolf-spirit
                co-habiting with his soul.

      Tom points to Jacob and taps his nose. Courtney shakes her
      head and gets back to her excitement.

                          COURTNEY
                Tom, guess what! Jacob and I are
                officially a-

                          TOM
                I want to talk about Natalie.

      All of the good humor drains from Courtney's face. Tom has
      finished setting up the kennel, and he climbs in, then
      fluffs his doggie blanket.

                          COURTNEY
                What? Why?

                          TOM
                Because that will definitely induce
                an episode.

                          COURTNEY
                I don't want to.

                          JACOB
                Huh?

                          TOM
                If it's a demon-possession-

                          JACOB
                NO! No. Demons aren't real.
                Spirit-possession.

                          TOM
                Whatever. If I'm-

                          JACOB
                NO! Not whatever. You don't have to
                make war on it.

                          TOM
                Fine. I just want to talk about
                Natalie, then.

                          JACOB
                Who's Natalie?

                          COURTNEY
                NO! Last time we went down that
                road, I lost you.

      Tom looks at Courtney, then closes and locks the kennel.
