(We see Oz as werewolf in cage. He breaks free and roams campus. He's about to attack prof Walsh when another werewolf crashes into him. They scuffle. )

[06]

(Cut to morning, when oz wakes up naked and scratched in the woods with Veruca)

OZ: That was, um...

Veruca: Some night.

OZ: So it appears.

Veruca: Right. You don't remember. It's like that at first, but then little bits and pieces will start coming back to you.

OZ: So you're A...

Veruca: Werewolf groupie. Nobody else gets it done for me.

OZ: What?

Veruca: Kidding. You know what I am. You've known since the first time you saw me. Now, you... Need...To relax.

OZ: Not a possibility.

Veruca: So what do you want to do?

(cut to dorm laundry room)

Veruca: God! The kids in the dorm need fashion 101 in a big way. Or we could start right here at home.

OZ: Not making a statement. Just wanna get back to my place, figure out why we got out of our cages.

Veruca: (Incredulous.) You have a cage?

OZ: Don't you?

Veruca: Uh, yeah. Has a little wheel with a plastic ball And a cute little bell in it. God! Somebody's domesticated the hell out of you.

OZ: It's my choice. I don't wanna hurt anybody.

Veruca: Maybe. Or maybe you just don't wanna admit what happened to you. Maybe you just wanna pretend like you're a regular guy.

OZ: Well, I am. I'm only a wolf 3 nights a month.

Veruca: Or you're a wolf all the time and this human face is just your disguise. You ever think about that, Oz?

OZ: I'm going. I gotta check the paper, see if we did any damage last night.

Veruca: Oh, we did. But only to each other. I know some part of you remembers that. It doesn't take a full moon. We could...Do it again right here.

OZ: We aren't going to. This ends... Right now.

Veruca: I can help you, Oz. You're scared. I was, too. But then I accepted it. The animal, it's powerful, inside me all the time. Soon, you just start to feel sorry for everybody else because they don't know what it's like to be as alive as we are. As free.

OZ: Free to kill people? I won't do that. You shouldn't.

Veruca: You don't understand. But you will. You'll see that we belong together.

OZ: No. I know where I belong.

(Oz walks away)

Veruca: See ya tonight.
