LOST BOYS SIDE ONE – ACT TWO. SCENE ONE.

[The Never Forest; terrifying, creeping vines and low-lying mist. What there is of the
sun, can barely make it through the canopy. This is where pirates lurk and beasts
growl…all is quiet – until…the most almighty noise. The screaming of three terrified
Lost Boys – CURLY, SLIGHTLY and TOOTLES]
CURLY, TOOTLES, SLIGHTLY: Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
[They stop. They look about, terrified]
CURLY: Tootles, did we lose them?
[TOOTLES looks]
TOOTLES: I think so. I think so! Got everything?
[SLIGHTLY pats himself down, heads, arms, face, legs, crotch?]
SLIGHTLY: Yep. Curly? All intact?
CURLY: No blood. I don’t think.
TOOTLES: Oh no…
SLIGHTLY: What?
TOOTLES: My bow and arrow. I dropped my bow and arrow. I’m terrible without my
bow and arrow.
SLIGHTLY: You can’t go back. [TOOTLES starts to run backwards] No! Tootles! No – no
– no.
TOOTLES: Wait for me!
SLIGHTLY: In a pirate infested Never Forrest? Wait for you – just casually – just –
wait?
CURLY: Please, Tootles, it’s getting dark. I want to go back. Please?
TOOTLES: I’ll be quick!
[TOOTLES exits. SLIGHTLY and CURLY are left standing, terrified]
SLIGHTLY: We should wait for him because it’s the proper way to behave.
CURLY: It’s what good friends would do, and Lost Boys are good friends to one
another.
[CURLY and SLIGHLTY gulp – seek permission….and – run]
CURLY/SLIGHTY: WE’RE TERRIBLE PEOPLE!!!!!
[The cackle of HOOK – tells them to run in the other direction]
CURLY: Pirates!
[They try to run back the other way but SMEE appears]
SLIGHTLY: Pirates!
