EXT. AIRPORT PARKING LOT - DAY A white car is parked in an empty area of the lot.

ALEX, a twenty year old brunette with intense eyes and very dark clothing leans against the car. She has a hood pulled over her head. She notices a small smear of blood on her leg. She wipes it away, unsuccessfully searches for a wound and looks around the parking lot cautiously. WILSON, a twenty five year old male with short brown hair and neat casual clothes walks over dragging behind him a small suitcase. Alex greets Wilson with a hug; his reaction suggests this is abnormal behaviour. WILSON Hi Alex. ALEX Hey Will, so glad youre back! Wilson glares at Alex suspiciously. WILSON Ive been gone two days... are Mum and Dad back yet? Alex grabs his suitcase and puts it in the boot. ALEX No, tomorrow sometime. How was your trip? WILSON Im the most hungover I have ever been. It was great. ALEX Thats awesome. Here let me get your door. Alex opens Wilsons door for him; he looks at her with skepticism. Alex sees this but continues anyway. INT. CAR - DAY Alex gets in as Wilson slumps back in his seat, sunglasses on. Alex pulls a paper bag out from the back seat and puts it on Wilsons lap. ALEX I knew youd be wasted so I cooked you a hangover cure. I cant (MORE)

ALEX (contd) remember what you like so I put everything in it. Wilson pulls out a huge sandwich with so many layers it creates a mess in Wilsons lap. Wilson looks back at Alex. WILSON You never cook food. ALEX Just being a thoughtful sister, nothing wrong with that is there? WILSON Youre being weird. But Im going to see how this plays out. ALEX Good idea. Wilson bites into the sandwich. Alex puts the key in the ignition. INT. CAR - DAY The few remains of the sandwich are a mess on Wilsons lap, he looks satisfied. Alex drives. WILSON That was amazing. ALEX I was proud of it too. I call it the "Im about to ask for a huge favour" sandwich. Probably needs a new name if its going to sell. Wilson sighs. WILSON What favour? ALEX I need you to help me clean the house. Mum and Dad will kill me if its trashed. WILSON What do I get out of it?

3.

ALEX One hundred free "Im about to ask for a huge favour" sandwiches. WILSON Deal, on the condition that no future "Im about to ask for a huge favour" sandwiches are followed by you asking me favours. ALEX I think I can make it work. Wilsons phone starts to ring. He looks at the screen. WILSON Its Lisa. Alex laughs, mocking him. ALEX Are you in trouble again? WILSON She has not left me alone the whole weekend. Wilson answers the phone. WILSON Hey... How are you?... No my phone was on silent... What? No, of course not... Look... Hey look... let me say something... Stop for a second and let me speak... Can you calm down? Wilson holds the phone away from his ear for a moment, then puts it back. WILSON Ive got to go. Ill call you later... OK? Wilson looks at the phone; she already hung up. ALEX You need to get rid of her. WILSON What?

4.

ALEX Come on, you know shes bad for you. Youre miserable, and shes a total bitch. Im sorry but its true. Wilson thinks about it for a moment. WILSON How bad is the mess? What happened, did you have a party? ALEX No party. Just me and Old Gus. WILSON Who? Alex parks the car into the driveway and they sit as Wilson waits for an explanation. ALEX Oh right you dont know Old Gus. Youll meet him. Great guy. Doesnt say much. He wont get in the way. WILSON Alex, who the fuck is Old Gus? ALEX OK so I may have gotten really drunk last night and gotten in touch with my dark side. One thing lead to another and I kind of raised the dead. Its cool though hes pretty chill and has slow reactions so he wont be a problem. Wilson looks confused. WILSON I dont get the joke. ALEX Wilson there is a zombie in the living room. Its not hard to understand. Wilson chuckles and gets out of the car.

5. INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY Alex and Wilson enter the house and Wilson freezes in shock. The curtains have been pulled shut and taped together and there is food and trash all over the floor. In the corner on the ground is OLD GUS, a zombie. He is a middle aged man in dirty clothes, his face covered in cuts and his flesh looks decomposed. A dog collar around his neck has him tied to the wall. He looks to be asleep. ALEX Isnt he cute sleeping like that? WILSON WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? Wilsons voice wakes up old Gus and he groans as he struggles to get to his feet. ALEX You woke him you jerk! WILSON I didnt think you were serious! That collar isnt going to hold him long. ALEX I know its the third Ive gone through since he got here. WILSON Why are you so calm about this? ALEX Because its fine, I can control him. Ive been feeding him lamb brains. WILSON Gross. ALEX Ill keep him out back. As a pet. WILSON You cant keep a god damn zombie as a pet Alex! Old Gus stumbles to his feet finally, stretches his arms out in front of him and makes an attempt for Wilson, who is too far away. The dog collar manages to hold him back.

6.

WILSON How did this even happen? INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT The living room is spotless, and Alex sits on the couch. She texts someone on her phone at an incredible speed. ALEX (V.O) I was super bored so I started drinking. Alex drinks straight from a bottle of vodka. INT BEDROOM - NIGHT Alex is looking through piles of mess in her wardrobe. She picks out a book with a satanic symbol on the front. ALEX (V.O) I found an old witchcraft book so I started trying some things out and burning some thingsEXT. CEMETERY - NIGHT Alex is visibly drunk and stumbles around the dark cemetery with the bottle of vodka and witchcraft book in hand. She stops at a grave. ALEX (V.O) -and then I was down at the cemetery and I found Old Gus grave. Thought Id try out the spell I found. Five minutes later and look who comes crawling out the dirt. Alex sees Old Gus start to come towards her and she starts to back away quickly. He slowly stumbles forward, trying to get to Alex but is too slow. ALEX (V.O) Once I saw how slow he was I knew everything would be okay. Alex walks just in front of Old Gus who follows her, arms outstretched. She talks and laughs as though she is in a real conversation.

7. ALEX (V.O) And then he walked me home like a true gentleman. INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY Wilson stares at Alex as she continues. She has a smile on her face, as though Old Gus had charmed her. ALEX Once we got here he did try to kill me but I outsmarted him. Tied him up. WILSON We have to get rid of it. ALEX Why? WILSON (agitated) Hes a fucking zombie. He will eat your flesh and youll become one too. Then youll bite someone and all of a sudden youve started a zombie apocalypse. ALEX That would be so cool. WILSON No Alex! It would not be cool. ALEX Ill train him. He wont bite. WILSON Its not a dog, you cant train it. Mum and Dad wont let you keep him anyway not to mention the police and I cant believe I have to explain this, wait here. Wilson runs out of the living room. Alex walks over to Old Gus who stands and groans, tiredly attempting to walk further than the collar will allow. ALEX Aww youre just hungry arent you? Alex talks to Old Gus like a baby.

8. ALEX Yes you are! You are a hungry zombie. Alex carelessly rubs the head of Old Gus; his arms react too slowly to catch her as she pulls away. ALEX No! Bad Gus! Alex picks up a rolled newspaper that sits on a coffee table and hits Old Gus in the face with it, disorienting him. Wilson runs back into the room with a large knife. He raises it and charges toward Old Gus. ALEX NO! Alex gets in the way of Wilson, and he tries to move her aside. ALEX Wait! Not like this. WILSON Do you have a better suggestion? Alex thinks for a moment. ALEX We clean this place up then tonight we can take him back to the cemetery and re-bury him. My witchcraft book has all sorts of spells, Im sure there is a de-zombification one somewhere. If not we can kill him. WILSON This is a bad idea. ALEX We need all these cleaning supplies anywayAlex hands Wilson a list from her pocket. ALEX -so you go to the shops and get them and well figure this out when you get back. Wilson looks at the list.

9.

ALEX Please? EXT. HOUSE - DAY The car reverses and drives off in a hurry. INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY Alex walks into the living room from the kitchen, holding a lettuce. ALEX Aw Gus! We dont have anymore brains for you. Old Gus groans, as if he understands. ALEX But I have something else. Its good for you. Just try some. Alex tries to force feed the lettuce into Old Gus mouth but he refuses to eat it, and swats it away. He almost catches Alexs arm but she pulls away quickly. She picks up the rolled newspaper and raises it. Old Gus backs away. Wilsons phone begins to ring on the coffee table and Alex looks at the screen. Its Lisa. EXT. HOUSE - DAY Wilsons car pulls up at the driveway. He gets out with the shopping, recognises a car parked across the road and runs toward the house where the faint sound of music is heard. INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY Wilson bursts into the living room as music plays loudly. WILSON LISA! Wilson stops in his tracks and drops the bags. His girlfriend LISA is on the floor as Old Gus hacks away at the flesh on her face, spraying blood.

10.

WILSON ALEX! Wilson grabs Lisa by the legs and drags her away from Gus, but she is dead. Old Gus tries to grab at her but the collar holds him back. Alex casually strolls in from the kitchen with food in her mouth. In her hand is a remote and with the click of a button the music stops. ALEX She kept calling so I told her to come around. Wilson stares in shock. ALEX Youre welcome. WILSON I feel like I should be more upset than I am. Alex grabs the bags of shopping. ALEX Why didnt you get carpet cleaner, how are we going to get the blood out? WILSON I didnt know I was coming home to a zombie eating my girlfriend! ALEX Ex-girlfriend. WILSON Why would you do this? Now we have two bodies to get rid of! ALEX I dont know if you know this, but Im not really thinking too many steps ahead. WILSON I guess we can bury them both together. Nobody will know.

11.

ALEX Im not burying Old Gus with that whore! WILSON Lets just tie her up in case she turns into one and we can deal with this tonight, OK? Alex nods her head. ALEX But for now... just... I mean shes already dead... and I dont think Gus was finished with her yet. Alex pushes Lisas body back toward Old Gus. He groans and starts to bite at her flesh once again while Alex stares, unable to look away. Wilson stares at Alex, disgusted by her interest. INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY Wilson picks up pieces of trash and shoves them into a garbage bag. Alex sprays the wall with a bottle and scrubs. Wilson vacuums the floor. Alex takes out two large full garbage bags outside. Wilson opens the blinds and rips off the tape that holds them together. Alex wipes over a mark on the coffee table. Wilson and Alex stand in the living room, Alex has the witchcraft book in hand and flicks through pages. In the corner Old Gus and Lisa are tied up. Gus is on his feet while Lisa is unconscious on the floor, her face covered in blood and gore. She lets out a huge groan and slowly rises. ALEX Your girlfriend is super ugly dude. WILSON Ex-girlfriend. Alex stops on a page.

12.

ALEX Hey I think I found something. Alex sits on the couch as she reads the page. ALEX OK, so we are going to need a goat and a virgin. WILSON Where in the hell are we going to get a goat? Behind them, the collar around Old Gus neck breaks and he stumbles forward into Wilson which sends them to the floor. A wrestle begins as Wilson tries to break free. Alex kicks Old Gus in the head and he falls off Wilson. Wilson stays on the floor, writhing in pain. Gus makes another move for Wilson but a rolled newspaper in Alexs hand smacks him across the face and he backs away. ALEX Gus, no! Old Gus stares at Alex, then back at Wilson. He moves toward Wilson again but stops as Alex raises the newspaper again. He lets out a disappointed groan, slumps onto the couch and mumbles incoherently to himself. Alex tries to pick Wilson up but he can only manage to sit. He has a large wound on his neck which spews blood. He breathes heavily and looks up at Alex, who has tears flowing down her face. ALEX Wilson Im so sorry! Wilson tries to reach up to Alex but does not have the strength. He struggles to speak. WILSON Alex... Wilson grabs Alexs arm. WILSON Wheres... Lisa? Alex hears the words and freezes. She turns around to the corner and Lisa is gone.

13.

ALEX What theLisa jumps on top of Alex and claws at her face. Alex tries to fight her off. Wilson is unconscious. Lisa overpowers Alex and attempts to bite into her when a boot flies up into her face. Lisa falls back and Alex looks up at Old Gus who stands over her. Old Gus walks over to Lisa who slowly tries to get back up and stomps repeatedly on her head; she stops moving. Alex breathes heavily and looks over at Wilson, now dead. INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY The front door opens and in walks BERNARD and DEBRA, Alex and Wilsons parents. The house is silent. Debra places a hand over her mouth, disgusted. BERNARD Smells like someone took a fucking shit in here. God damn it. They walk further in and see the corner where Gus and Lisa were tied up; it still is filthy and blood stains remain on the carpet. Debra calls out. DEBRA Alex! Wilson! Alex walks in from the kitchen with a sandwich, sees them and stops. ALEX (nervous) Hi. Let meDEBRA Whats going on in here? ALEX Just hear me out OK? BERNARD What the fuck is that smell? Remember when I said no parties? I meant it! Look at this place! Its trashed. Alex looks at the mess and has no response.

14.

DEBRA I thought I could trust you! But I was clearly wrong, why dont you ever learn? ALEX Look you have to sit down I need to tell you something. Alex walks over to the couch and sits down. Bernard and Debra stand in front of her. BERNARD Youre twenty god damn years old you have to learn to respect my house! And where is your brother? I want to speak to him too! ALEX Will you justBERNARD You get off that couch and start cleaning! Im sick and tired of always having to deal with you and your bullshit! ALEX If you could let me explainBERNARD Every week its something else, what the hell is wrong with you? Jesus Christ Alex all you had to do was keep the house clean and you couldnt evenAlex grabs the remote and presses a button, turning the music on extremely loud. This sends Bernard into a fit of rage. BERNARD (screaming) Turn that off! Now! Alex points behind them, they take no notice. She points again, a devilish grin appears on her face. ALEX You might want to turn around.

15.

BERNARD What? I cant hear you! Turn that shit off! Alex turns off the music. ALEX I said you might want to turn around. BERNARD This is fucking ridiculous. Bernard and Debra turn around to see Wilson and Old Gus standing right behind them. Alex turns the music back on as the sound of Bernard and Debra being devoured by Old Gus and Wilson gets drowned out. Alex begins eating her sandwich, deep in thought. Some blood splatters up and hits her in the face. She keeps eating, satisfied. CUT TO: BLACK
