Welcome to the Hellmouth
(September 10, 1996)
Written by: Joss Whedon
Teaser
FADE IN:
EXT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL – NIGHT
The front of the affluent Southern California school gleams darkly in the moonlight.
CUT TO:
INT. HALL – CONTINUOUS
TRACK through the hall. Nothing.
CUT TO:
INT. CLASSROOM – CONTINUOUS
Silent.
We track along the wall, past the maps and drawings tacked up on it, past the window, which
SHATTERS in our faces!
It’s just a single pane, knocked in by someone’s
hand. It unlocks the window and slides it up.
The intrude is a college age BOY, a timid GIRL beside him. She looks about nervously.
GIRL
Are you sure this is a good idea?
BOY
It’s a great idea! Come on.
As they climb in.
CUT TO:
INT. HALL – A MOMENT LATER
He leads her out here. It’s even darker than the classroom
GIRL
You go to school here?
BOY
Used to.
On top of the gym, it’s so cool – you can see the whole town.
GIRL
I don’t want to go up there.
BOY
Oh, you can’t wait, huh?
He moves to kiss her.
