INT. -- BEDROOM -- MORNING
Jbeall, a young eighteen year old male, lays in bed with his arm draped over his face. Beside him lays Ashley, a beautiful young woman, using his muscular chest as a pillow.
The clock alarm RINGS, waking Jbeall. He cautiously slides out from underneath the beautiful girl. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, he stands to his feet.
The beautiful woman roles onto her stomach exposing her skimpy underwear.
EXT. -- SECOND STORY BEDROOM -- CONTINUOUS
A large two story house sits in a field. A young man lies asleep through the bedroom windows.
INT. -- SECOND STORY BEDROOM -- CONTINUOUS
JJsteel, a muscle bound, blond man lays in a full size bed holding a Jenna Jameson action figure.
The wall is covered with framed posters that exhibits famous porn stars.
A flat screen television silently sits in the background displaying a graphic sex scene.
INT. -- STAIRCASE -- CONTINOUS
Jbeall walks down a flight of stairs with his belt undone and jeans tucked into his stylish boots. He hears a loud clank as he reaches the bottom of the stairs.
INT. -- HALLWAY -- CONTINOUS
Jbeall slowly strolls down the hallway.
INT. -- JJSTEALS BATHROOM -- CONTINUOUS
JJsteal stands in front of a large mirror, completely naked. Shaving cream covers his crouch as he splashes a chrome razor back and forth in a pool of white, foamy water.
He grabs a picture of a beautiful girl off the bathroom conter and brings it to eye level.
JJSTEAL
You want to see what I’m doing?
He takes the picture and points it towards his crouch.
JJSTEAL
Sexy, I know.
He kisses the picture and places it back on the counter.
INT. -- ASHLEY’S HOUSE/KITCHEN -- CONTINUOUS
Jbeall arrives at the kitchen to find Brian, a tall business man, opening the door to the oven.
INT. -- KITCHEN -- CONTINUOUS
Brian turns around holding a pan of blue berry muffins. A gold apron with the word “TRIBE” centered in the middle, hangs around his neck.
BRIAN
(excited) Hey Jbeall! (Pointing to a large basket, sitting on the counter) I made these muffins for you and the team.
JBEALL
(tired) That was nice of you.
BRIAN
(jogging out of the room) Oh yea!
BRIAN (O.S.)
I also have your dry cleaning. I know how ya’ll have to wear the traditional white dress shirt and blue tie on game day, so I went ahead and had them dry cleaned and pressed.
Jbeall looks at the clock on his cell phone and walks across the kitchen. Brian reenters the kitchen to find the room empty and the back door open.
EXT. -- DRIVEWAY -- MOMENTS LATER
Jbeall hops into his 4x4 truck and starts the engine. Brian quickly walks outside with the dry cleaning in one hand and the basket of muffins in the other.
BRIAN
Hey buddy you forgot your stuff.
Brian puts the shirt and tie on a hanger behind the truck seat and places the basket of muffins in the floor board.
JBEALL
You don’t have to do that.
BRIAN
I don’t mind. It’s the least I can do. I’ll see you later this evening, Jbeall.
Brian reaches across the seat and puts his hand out. Jbeall extends his hand as well. They both perform an awkward and uncoordinated hand shake.
JBEALL
(uncomfortable) I have to go.
BRIAN
You want some money?
JBEALL
(unsure) OK, I really have to go.
Jbeall puts the truck in reverse and turns the radio up.
RADIO PERSONALITY (O.S.)
(excited)
If yall people driving to work haven’t had your heads up your butt, then you know this is the Duece and Bucky show and we are talking East Texas football.
INT. -- RADIO STATION -- CONTINUOUS
Two country DJ’s, Deuce and Bucky, are sitting in a small East Texas radio station.
DEUCE
East Texas football is still going strong and we are into the playoffs.
The accents of their studio charge a rustic brown wall with blue and gold picture frames holding photos of the local high school football team.
A large wooden statue of a Indian chief stands in the corner.
Buckey leans back in his chair rewinding a high school football game.
The Jacksonville High school fight song plays in the background. Deuce triggers football sounds and Bucky starts to chop the air using his hand as a tomahawk.
BUCKY
That’s right, we still have Henderson and possibly Corsicana in the next few weeks.
DEUCE
I hate going to Henderson, it always smells like shit.
BUCKY
(smirking) I thought you were from Henderson?
DEUCE
Screw you, I boned your wife.
BUCKY
(offended)
What did you say?
DEUCE
(baffled)
Born and raised in Jacksonville, been here my whole life.
Bucky shakes his head and leans into the microphone.
BUCKY
The Indians are still in the playoffs and fighting for that state championship.
DEUCE
Everybody knows that the Henderson women are easy and Corsicana has a meth problem. Leave it to the good ole boys in gold and blue to show us how football is supposed to be played. Damn I’m glad to be from J’ville.
BUCKY
Woo Wei, after you mention Jacksonville I got goose bumps running down my arms... Damn these boys sure know how to play some ball.
DEUCE
You said it. They are straight up ballers. Each player is a heavy metal wrecking machine.
An intense glare consumes Bucky as he stares at a picture of the football team.
DEUCE
I believe they play Henderson this up coming Friday. There ain’t no doubt in my mind which team is going to be carried off the Indian burial ground.
BUCKY
Those J’ville boys live, sleep and will kill to play some pig skin. I pity Henderson.
DEUCE
(compassionate)
Coach Strong loves those boys to death. Trust me, he will do what ever it takes to win state.
Bucky puts on an Indian football helmet and assumes a three point stance. He explodes out of the three point stance and pretends he’s going to tackle Duece.
BUCKY
(compassionate)
This is the time of year when I relive the best years of my life.
DEUCE
Only in Texas.
Bucky pushes away from the sound table and reaches into a refrigerator. He cracks open an ice cold beer and begins pouring it into the football helmet.
Bucky lifts the helmet over his head, chugging the foamy brown substance straight from the helmet. He spills the majority of the beer on his Alcoholics Anonymous shirt.
DEUCE
Hell, I know it must be killing Coach Strong to not have a state ring on his finger yet. He has one from his previous coaching position in Marshall, but not one from Jacksonville.
Deuce raises his hand and makes a small gap between his index finger and thumb.
DEUCE
Last year when we played Ennis in the quarter finales was the closets we had ever been in Jacksonville since 1969.
Bucky hangs his head and shakes it in sorrow.
BUCKY
(aggravated)
Man that was an upset. If you want to look at it as if the glass is half full, Ennis did win state. Congrats to Jacksonville for getting beat by the champions.
DEUCE
Bucky I may be telling a lie and god strike me down if I am, but
(banging his fist on the counter)
This year is the year we go to state and win.
Deuce pushes a button that triggers the school song. Bucky takes the head dress off the wooden statue and sports it around the room.
DEUCE (CONT’D)
And win. Time to get the lead out baby! Go Tribe!
BUCKY
Now a word from Stetson cologne. It’s a nice way to make the panties drop.
Deuce pushes a button on the sound board, triggering a commercial.
COMMERCIAL/WOMAN’S VOICE (O.S.)
Stetson cologne for men, its a nice way to make the panties drop. Available at your local Wal- Mart.
EXT. -- INDIAN PRACTICE FIELD -- AFTERNOON
At the entrance of the practice field a sign sticks out of the ground reading, “Happy Valley, Population Champions”.
A loud piercing whistle blows, powered from a sweaty mouth. The whistle carelessly free falls as spit hangs in the balance.
COACH STRONG
(A freshly shaved mouth screams)
You stupid cock sucking mother fucker! Pull your head out of your ass boy.
Coach Strong, a tall and intimidating man, walks towards the offensive line. He grabs the embarrassed football player by his face mask.
COACH STRONG (CONT’D)
Everybody stop what you’re doing. (the entire field becomes silent and attentive) I want ya’ll to know this sorry excuse for a center doesn’t know the difference from twins right 37 dive and twins right 39 toss.
Coach Strong pulls the player closer as he shakes his head.
COACH STRONG (CONT’D)
(stressed)
Damn it boy. If you weren't my starting center I would give you an ass kicking so bad there wouldn't be enough I.V. bags in the hospital to keep me from burring you.
COACH STRONG (CONT’D)
(pointing down and to the left) You block down! You hear me mother fucker? Down! God damn you’re an embarrassment
Coach Stunner, a short stalky white male, stands a few yards to the right of Strong.
COACH STUNNER
(offended)
Strong! That’s enough
Coach Strong turns sharply and makes direct eye contact with Stunner.
COACH STRONG
(submissive)
Ok, everybody get back to what yall were doing.
On the sideline two underclassmen kneel on one knee in the unbarring Texas sun.
UNDER CLASSMAN 1
(concerned)
I wonder if Coach Strong’s wife knows he talks like that to their son.
Underclassmen 2 uses his left hand to block the glare of the sun.
UNDER CLASSMAN 2
God I’m tired of standing in this damn sun. Why do those guys get to sit in the shade and we have to get sun burned everyday? Who and what makes them so special?
Underclassmen 1 points with his right hand to a patch of shade were a small group of varsity players sit.
UNDER CLASSMEN 1
Since this is your first year let me catch you up to speed. (pointing down the field) The one on your far right is Jeremy Beall.
JBeall stares down the field noticing the underclassmen pointing at him. Quick flashes of student’s year book pictures flash by until stopping on his photo.
UNDER CLASSMEN 1
He’s the starting first team all district varsity tight-end. Coach Strong creates the entire offense scheme around his tight-end. He’s pretty much Coach Strong’s go to guy as well as the strongest guy in the entire school.
INT. -- HIGH SCHOOL -- DAY
Jeremy walks down a long and lonesome hallway. In front of the principles office he observes a large Hispanic man picking on a smaller freshman.
The Hispanic male shoves the freshmen down and sticks his foot on the boy’s face.
UNDER CLASSMEN 1 (V.O.)
Let’s just say he’s never been accused of taking any shit off of anybody.
Jbeall goes to open his locker were the freshman lays. He then looks down at the ground and smiles.
JBEALL
You ok?
MEXICAN
(cocky)
Fuck off white boy.
Jbeall steps over the freshman to shorten the distance between himself and the Hispanic male. He rears his head back and head butts the Hispanic male.
The Hispanic males nose gushes blood everywhere. Jbeall face, covered in the Hispanics blood, screams hatred. The Mexican falls to the ground choking on his own blood.
Coach Strong observes through a set of windows what is taking place in the hall way and immediately runs out of the Principals office to interfere.
Strong runs to Jbeall aide, pulling a handkerchief from his pocket and handing it over. Coach Strong turns to look at the Hispanic, laying on the ground.
COACH STRONG
(offended)
What the fuck are doing to my tight-end, spick?
Coach Strong stands over the bleeding Hispanic man and uses both hands to grab him by his flannel shirt.
COACH STRONG (CONT’D)
(offended)
Get your ass off the ground and go to the principles office.
Coach Strong kicks the Hispanic man in the ass as he walks away. Strong turns to Jbeall.
COACH STRONG (CONT’D)
(thoughtful)
Are you ok?
Jbeall stands there speechless, wiping the blood from his face. The Blood soaked handkerchief reads the embroidered name “Strong”.
COACH STRONG
Go the field house and get the blood washed off of you.
JBEALL
(calm)
I’m going right now.
Jbeall turns and walks towards the exit.
COACH STRONG
Jbeall... (turns back around) Nice head butt.
EXT. -- INDIAN PRACTICE FIELD -- AFTERNOON
Underclassman 1 points to JJsteel who is chatting with his team mates in the shade.
UNDERCLASSMAN 1
Kneeling to the right of Jbeall is JJsteal.
Underclassmen 2 observes JJsteel telling a joke amongst the group. Quick flashes of student’s year book pictures flip by until stopping on his photo.
UNDER CLASSMAN 1 (V.O.)
A returning first team all district defensive end. On the field he’s a bone crusher but, off the field he’s a straight up joker. They call him JJ...steel.
INT. -- TOMATO BOWL FIELD -- GAME NIGHT
JJsteel is lined up on defense waiting for the ball to snap. The Quarter back hikes the ball and attempts to run a quarterback sneak.
JJsteel pursues the sneaky quarterback. At the last second he delivers a bone crushing tackle, lifting him off his feet.
JJsteal stands over the pummeled quarter back.
JJSTEEL
Get you some bitch.
The Opposing Coach rushes JJsteel.
OPPOSING COACH
I’ll fucking rip your head off.
The Referees charge the Opposing Coach at every angle. Yellow flags abruptly bombard the Opposing Coach as the head Referee announces un-sportmen like conduct.
EXT. -- INDIAN PRACTICE FIELD -- DUSK
The underclassman splashes water down his neck from a perspiring squirt bottle.
UNDER CLASSMAN 1
The next one in the middle wearing cowboy boots instead of cleats is BST.
Quick flashes of student’s year book pictures flip by until stopping on his photo.
UNDER CLASSMAN 2
What does that stand for?
UNDER CLASSMAN 1
Brandon Simpson Terry. They say his mom left him in a dumpster a few weeks after birth. Apparently his mom was a small town whore. They couldn't get anyone to admit having sex with her. He’s the biggest ass hole on campus.
EXT. -- JACKSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL STAIR CASE -- DAY
Students fill the sidewalk. BST follows an overweight female in the crowd. He observes her wobbly foot steps and kicks her back leg, sending her rolling down a steep staircase.
He stands over her, pointing and laughing. Several students walk by pointing and laughing at the hurt girl.
BST
(taunting)
Fat people shouldn’t take the stairs sweet heart.
EXT. -- INDIAN PRACTICE FIELD -- AFTERNOON
The under classman continue to gaze at the older players that are relaxing and conversing in the shade.
UNDER CLASSMAN 1
My advice is just don’t turn your back on him. He picks on pretty much anybody smaller then him, especially girls. He plays no significant role on the team, he’s just one of the guys.
UNDER CLASSMAN 2
What about that guy?
UNDER CLASSMAN 1 (CONT’D)
The one on the far left is Brian Mckinny.
Brian Kneels on one knee while talking on his cell phone.
Quick flashes of student’s year book pictures flip by until stopping on his photo.
UNDER CLASSMAN 1
He is the starting full back, straight A student, smart guy. Not very big, but don’t let that fool you. He packs a punch.
EXT. -- TOMATO BOWL GAME DAY -- NIGHT
A montage of bone shattering hits made by Brain.
EXT. -- INDIAN PRACTICE FIELD -- DUSK
UNDER CLASSMAN 2
Who’s that black guy jogging up to the group?
Quintilly a tall black male jogs up to the group. He gives a ghetto hand shake to Brian and takes a knee.
Quick flashes of student’s year book pictures flip by until stopping on his photo.
UNDER CLASSMAN 1
That’s Quintilly they call him Q-tip. He’s a first team all state receiver and the number one college recruit on the team. He’s got so much publicity from the news and college recruits he’s already started living “that life style.”
EXT. -- FIELD HOUSE PARKING LOT -- AFTERNOON
Q-tip walks up to his brand new truck. He opens the door and reaches across the leather wrapped driver seat and opens the center console.
Pulling his hand out of the center console, light glistens off a glass vile of white powder.
INT. -- FIELD HOUSE LOCKER ROOM -- MOMENTS LATER
Q-tip opens the vile and dabs a thin line of powder onto the top of his helmet.
He ingests the white substance in a single snort. Rubbing his fingers under his nose, he feels the ever familiar, burning drip.
He leans his head back against the cold iron lockers while and exhales.
EXT. -- INDIAN PRACTICE FIELD -- DUSK
Coach Strong screams across the field to the underclassmen who are watching the seniors in the shade.
COACH STRONG
(demanding)
Let’s go ladies! We need you on scout team defense.
Coach Stunner turns to Jake.
COACH STUNNER
(frustrated)
Jake lets go! Pick up the pace. This is two minute offense.
Jake, a tall athletic rich kid, bends over holding his abdomen.
COACH STUNNER
(concerned)
You alright?
JAKE
I’m fine coach, my stomach is just killing me.
COACH STUNNER
(threatening)
If you think your stomachs hurting, wait until I shove my size 9 ½ up your ass. Show some hustle! Let’s go!!!!
Coach Stunner claps his hand on his clip board. Jake struggles to run to the huddle.
The senior players in the shade observe Jake’s behavior.
JBEALL
(curious)
I’ve always wondered what Stunners talking about when he says his 9 ½.
JJSTEEL
I bet Jake knows. Let’s ask him.
JJsteel screams across the field.
JJSTEEL
(joking)
Jake… Jake!… How big is Stunners dick?
JAKE
(over reacts)
Fuck you ass holes. That never happened that night... Ever!
Every one in the shade appears to be shocked that he took the comment so personal.
JJSTEEL
That was awkward.
JBEALL
He took that alarmingly personal, almost as bad when we accused BST of screwing his cousin.
BST
(screaming) You asshole.
Jbeall notices BST charging in his direction and jumps to his feet. After a few steps BST swings his helmet. He loses his footing causing him to slip.
The varsity players sitting in the shadow notice Jake running across the field holding his stomach. He runs straight through a group of players standing in his way.
JAKE
Move it white trash.
Jake shoves the players out of his way and mumbles to himself.
JAKE
(scared)
Shit. This is gonna be close.
Coach Strong takes off his large straw hat and looks at his watch then blows his whistle.
COACH STRONG
Ok, bring it up.
The football players jog to the center of the football field and take a knee around Strong.
COACH STRONG
Gentlemen, I need not tell you how vital this game is tomorrow. This is my 8th consecutive year in the playoffs and I do not plan on losing the first round.
Coach Strong uses a towel to wipe the sweat from his bald head. Grabbing his sweat soaked towel, he throws it into a trainers face.
COACH STRONG
We will not lose the first round. Henderson is one of Jacksonville’s biggest rivals. They are going to taunt you, curse you, and try to fight you. There will be the local news and radio stations present. So, nothing you seniors are not used to. You guys, my Indians, have better class and character than any other team in this district. I expect you all to prove me right.
He whips his head around sharply.
COACH STRONG
Hit them in the mouth between the whistle and help’em off the ground after. Brake it out on my son.
Coach Strong’s son holds his gold painted helmet in the air and the team forms a tightly gathered circle.
COACH STRONG’S SON
(proudly)
One! Two! Three!
TEAM
(shouting)
Tribe!
While the tightly packed team breaks apart, Coach Strong blows his whistle again and looks at the varsity players in the shade
COACH STRONG
Alright guys we are out of time take it up to the field house.
The remaining players run up the steep, rock exposed hill. BST jumps into a truck and fires the engine.
BST
Get in boys.
JJsteel and Jbeall hop in the truck bed. Brian jumps into the truck’s cab with BST.
BRAIN
Take it easy up the hill I don’t want any rocks thrown on it.
BST slams the truck into drive and stomps on the accelerator. During their bumpy ride, rocks and dirt assault the underclassmen trying to run up the hill.
INT. -- FIELD HOUSE LOCKER ROOM -- MOMENTS LATER
AS they approach their lockers the group smells a horrific odor.
JSTEEL
(concerned)
What the hell is that?
Jbeall looks down at a pair of white practice pants.
JBEALL
You got to be kidding me.
The group follows an unseen trail of matter all the way to the showers.
INT. -- FIELD HOUSE SHOWERS -- CONTINUOUS
The group arrives at the edge of the shower entrance.
Jake stands in the corner, desperately washing fecal matter off of his butt cheeks.
JBEALL
(concerned)
Jake, did you shit your pants?
JJsteel points and laughs hysterically.
JJSTEEL
Couldn't hold it in?
Jake begins to cry from the humiliation.
JAKE
(angry)
Get the fuck out of here! I’m telling my daddy.
The rest of the team makes their way into the field house. Everyone runs to the shower to see what the commotion is about.
The majority of the team begins to point and laugh. A random teammate throws a roll of toilet paper over the crowd, hitting Jake in the face.
Jake slips and falls to the ground, getting a mouthful of dirty water. He stays sitting on the ground shaking his head, crying.
JAKE
I hate ya’ll... (Covering his face) I’m better than all of you.
JJsteel, Brian and Jbeall stand in front of their lockers getting dressed.
JBEALL
(quizzical)
So are we still on for tonight?
JJsteel sits in a fold out chair while putting on his socks.
JJSTEEL
Yeah, but I plan on being at Jesse’s house until then. Just hollar at me up when you’re ready.
Jbeall look up from Jacob, he notices BST and Brian behind him.
JBEALL
How bout ya’ll? Are ya’ll going?
BRIAN
(encouraged)
Hell yea, it’s a tradition baby.
BST
(determined)
I wouldn’t miss this shit for the world.
Jbeall stands up in a chair and announces to the entire team.
JBEALL
Anyone placing an order, be sure to have it in my or JJsteel’s locker by tomorrow.
In the back of their lockers are bottles of steroids and needles almost blatantly noticeable. Jbeall and JJsteel shut their lockers simultaneously.
EXT. -- INDIAN FIELD HOUSE PARKING LOT -- MOMENTS LATER
The crew walks out of the field house and onto the black top parking lot.
JBEALL
Lets plan on meeting at my house at 11:15. We need to go buy supplies and park our cars at Ashley’s house.
JJSTEEL
What color are yall planning on getting?
BST
I want neon orange.
BRIAN
Lime Green.
JBEALL
I’m getting the most ridiculous one I can find.
A group of girls stand congregated beside a row of cars.
BRIAN
(charming)
Hello ladies.
Each girlfriend is overly excited to see their boyfriend.
JBEALL
Do we all know what time and where we are meeting tonight?
BST
(confident)
Nine!
Jbeall stares at BST with a look of agitation.
JJSTEEL
11:15. Got it.
BRIAN
Ashley’s!
JBEALL
See ya’ll then
ASHLEY
So I take it yall are still meeting at my house.
JBEALL
(sarcastic)
Yea, since you insisted we did.
ASHLEY
(smiling) Shut up.
JBEALL
I have to go take a shower so, I’ll hit you up on my way over.
INT. -- JJSTEEL’S CAR -- CONTINUOUS
JJsteel and Jessica sit shoulder to shoulder. He leans his head on the steering wheel and releases a deep breath of air.
JESSICA
Your neck again?
JJSTEEL
Yea, I can’t get the pain to go away. Every time I think it’s gone something fires it back up.
He reaches into the glove compartment and pulls out a small glass pipe and baggy. He loads the pipe with a green substance.
JJSTEEL
This shits bad for you. You can’t have any.
JESSICA
(smiling)
Forget you.
JSTEEL
Open your mouth.
Jessica opens her mouth as JJsteel inserts the pipe into her mouth. The spark from a cheap lighter engulfs the moist, green substance.
JJSTEEL
Hold it... Hold it...
Jessica fights the urge to cough.
JJSTEEL
Don’t you do it... Hold it!
She lets out a uncontrollable cough.
JJSTEEL
OK. OK. Not bad.
JJsteel brings the pipe to his lips and inhales. His constant use of the pipe allows him to inhale with ease.
Jessica’s cell phone rings. She answers.
JESSICA
Hey! No I’m with JJ. We can meet up later to study.
Jessica hangs up the phone.
JESSICA
Sorry, where were we.
She moves in and tries to kiss him but, he moves away.
JESSICA
What’s wrong?
JJSTEEL
I thought we were going to do something together tonight?
JESSICA
We can I just have to meet up with Courtney later so we can study for this quiz tomorrow.
JJsteel puts on his seat belt and turns over the engine.
JJSTEEL
You know, you sure have been studying with Courtney a lot this week.
JESSICA
What’s the problem with that?
JJSTEEL
I just thought you might want to spend some more time together... I’m a straight A student, I can help you study.
Jessica runs her fingernails down the back of his neck.
JESSICA
JJ I love you. You know that. Courtney already knows all the answers. She took the test earlier today. We can watch a movie Saturday night, I promise.
He grabs the knob to the headlights.
EXT. -- FIELD HOUSE PARKING LOT -- CONTINUOUS
The headlights explode into action.
EXT. -- ASHLEY’S HOUSE -- NIGHT
Jbeall arrives at Ashley’s house. Ashley’s house is the biggest on the block, it resembles an old Victorian architecture.
Numerous lights from inside the house illuminate the surrounding landscape.
Jbeall begins dialing a number on his cell phone.
JBEALL
Wuz up? Where are you? You already have BST? Good. I was concerned if that dumb ass could tell time or not. How close are ya’ll? Ok, well I’m pulling up to Ashley’s house now. I’m gonna hit JJ up and see if he’s ready to rock and roll...
Jbeall’s phone beeps and reads incoming call JJsteel.
JBEALL
I’m getting a beep. I’ll see you when you get here... Later.
Jbeall pushes the flash button.
JBEALL
JJ, you ready?
JJSTEEL (V.O.)
Oh yeah, call me Picasso because I’m bout to cover senior hill.
JBEALL
Meet me down the road at Ashley’s we’re all ready to go.
INT. -- JESSICA’S GARAGE -- CONTINUOUS
JJsteel exits the back door.
JJSTEEL
(speaking into the phone) Be there in a second.
JJsteel puts the phone into his pocket and walks out of the garage.
During his voyage to his car he notices MRS. Plum, Jessica’s elderly, Caucasian neighbor, slowly pulling into her drive way. JJsteel waves.
JJSTEEL
(smiling)
Hi Mrs. Plum, how are you doing tonight?
MRS. PLUM
(senile)
Go fuck yourself, you damn cracker.
Mrs. Plum spits towards JJsteel.
JJSTEEL
I’m doing great. You have a good night.
JJsteel mumbles as he enters his car.
JJSTEEL
You evil old bitch.
EXT. -- ASHLEY’S HOUSE -- NIGHT
Ashley walks out of the house wearing a white tank top and tight gold cotton shorts.
ASHLEY
(energetic)
Hey you!
JBEALL
(relaxed)
Hey sexy.
ASHLEY
Are you sure I can’t go with you tonight?
JBEALL
I’m sorry but, your dad would shit a brick if he found out you went with us.
ASHLEY
Please?
JBEALL
You can walk down the street and watch us.
ASHLEY
Your an ass.
JBEALL
(playfully)
Eat me.
ASHLEY
No that is your job.
Jbeall and Ashley hear the sound of engines roaring. They turn around and notice JJsteel and Brian racing to her driveway. JJsteel arrives first in a sports car smoking a bowl and Brian pulls up with BST standing in the bed of Brian’s jacked up truck. Brian and BST both have beers in their hands. Brian leaps out of the driver seat and pushes his door shut.
BRIAN
Lets do this shit.
Jbeall walks to the back of his car and pops the trunk.
JBEALL
Alright gentlemen, I went ahead and took the liberty of buying the supplies.
BST
Please tell me you got the bright colors.
Brian reaches into the trunk and grab a can.
BRIAN
(lime green)
Yes, lime green.
BST
(confused)
Where is it?
BST is leaned over in the trunk looking for his can of orange paint.
JBEALL
Your left hand is on it.
Jbeall shakes his head and walks away. Bst picks up a can and turns it around.
BST
Yes!!
JBeall turns to Ashley.
JBEALL
I’ll call you when we get finished.
ASHLEY
Y’all be safe.
JJsteel is starting to call his girl friend as the group of football players walk to senior hill.
JBEALL
Brian did you bring the scanner?
Jbeall turns to Brian.
BRIAN
No, my dad let me borrow his two way radio from the fire station.
BST
Are you serious?
JBEALL
Those pigs are never going to catch on.
JJsteel lags behind the group trying to reach his girlfriend on the phone. He angrily runs his hand through his hair with the phone pressed against his ear.
JJSTEEL
(frustrated)
God Damn it! I just left her house and she’s not answering the phone.
JJsteel looks at Jbeall.
JBEALL
Don’t get me started I have my own female problems. I don’t want any part of yours.
The varsity players walk up to a line of towering bushes about a house away from senior hill. Suddenly they stop and notice varsity cheer leaders painting senior hill.
JJSTEEL
What the fuck?
JBEALL
That’s bull shit!
JJSTEEL
What are we going to do?
JBEALL
I have an idea, JJ give me your phone.
Brian leans toward JBeall’s shoulder with curiosity.
BRIAN
What are you going to do.
Jbeall takes the phone from JJsteel then proceeds to call 911.
OPERATOR (V.O.)
911 what is your emergency?
JBEALL
Yes I live off of Hill Crest and there’s a gang of thugs painting senior hill.
OPERATOR (V.O.)
All available units we have a ten forty three in progress at the location of senior hill. Ok sir, I have officers in rout as we speak, may I ask who is calling?
JBEALL
I would like stay anonymous.
OPERATOR (V.O.)
Ok sir, thank you for the call.
The group starts laughing as Jbeall hangs up the phone. They hide behind the bushes and watch as police arrive on the scene. All the girls take off running. The cops jump out of their cars and start form tackling the girls, using excessive force. A scared cheer leader runs across an open yard. A police officer is following right behind in arms reach. He dives to grab her but, is only able to grab her shorts. The girl lays on the ground with her shorts around her ankles.
BRIAN
Oh shit! It’s Jax.
JBEALL
Where?
The cheerleaders flee in every direction from the cops.
JJSTEEL
Which one?
BRIAN
In the center of the intersection.
The officer is trying to subdue Jax but, she is putting up a fight. The officer pulls his tazer out ant shoots Jax. Jax falls to the ground and starts shaking. All the guys behind the bushes start laughing hysterically. A police officer spots the football players standing behind the bushes and walks over startling Jbeall.
JBEALL
Shit!
JJSTEEL
Jesus!
OFFICER SHOFNER
Guys, what the hell are yall doing hiding behind the bushes. Yall are the ones that called in the anonymous complaint ain’t ya.
JBEALL
Its fucking bullshit Shofner, these bitches heard about our prank tonight and tried to beat us to it.
SHOFNER
Ok.. This is how it’s going to go down, chances are we’re going to place all of them under arrest.
Officer Shofner looks at his watch.
OFFICER SHOFNERR
It’s a 11:30, yall stay put until 11:50, shift change comes on at 12:00. There’s normally not any officers out on patrol for about ten to fifteen minutes. So, yall will have a good twenty five minutes to do what ever you have planned.
JJSTEEL
(impressed)
Sweet.
JBEALL
kick ass.
Officer Shofner turns and walks three steps. He then turns around with a look of seriousness in his eyes.
SHOFNER
Oh, and guys..
BRIAN
We know, we never spoke to you.
SHOFNER
Keep it that way.
BST looks at the police cars and notices the girls lined up in hand cuffs. One of the other officers meets Shofner halfway.
OFFICER 2
(curious)
Where did you go?
OFFICER SHOFNER
(cocky)
I had to take a piss.
Officer 2 pulls Shofner close to him.
OFFICER 2
Do you think any of these girls will do a little something extra to get those cuffs taken off?
Officer Shofner looks at him with disgust.
SHOFNER
I doubt it. Go transport the girls back to the station.
The Police cars drive away with cheerleaders in the back seats. As they get further down the road the red and blue lights are turned of.
JBEALL
Ok, lets do it.
The song La Grange from ZZ Top starts to play. The guys run out from behind the bushes. They start to throw down the painting supplies and begin putting on paint suits, opening up paint cans, and pouring paint into pans.
INT. -- POLICE STATION -- NIGHT
The cheer leaders get their mug shots taken one at a time. Their hair is tangled in knots and their eye liner accents the tear tracks on their face.
EXT. -- SENIOR HILL -- NIGHT
The guys start painting every inch of the street and don’t stop until there is no paint left. As the hill looks completely painted Brian pulls the scanner from his back pocket and raises it to his ear.
DISPATCH (V.O.)
We have another call from a resident on hill crest, sounds like there’s some more kids painting senior hill.
OFFICER (V.O.)
That’s a big 10-4 dispatch, I’m just a couple of blocks away,
DISPATCH (V.O.)
What’s your E.A.T. (estimated arrival time)
OFFICER (V.O.)
About 30 seconds.
Brian’s eyes enlarge with nervousness. All the guys look at each other.
JBEALL
Run!!!
The guys take off running across the neighborhood ditching their supplies into a near by creek. They are tripping, sliding and diving behind objects. The group runs into an oak tree shadow cast by the full moon. Jbeall watches the police cars arrive. The officers get out and run around the street looking for the unknown suspects. The players escape further into the shadows and walk back to Ashley’s house.
EXT. -- ASHLEY’S HOUSE -- NIGHT
JJSTEEL
I’ll see you guys in the morning
JBEALL
Later guys.
JJsteel, BST and Brian get into their vehicles and drive away. Ashley comes out of the back door of her house.
ASHLEY
What’s up loser?
JBEALL
What are you stalking me?
ASHLEY
No I’m Studying…
JBEALL
Well then what do I smell on your breath.
ASHLEY
Ok, I had a few beers while I was studying.
JBEALL
Eighteen and already drinking.
ASHLEY
Oh shut up. You and all your friends started drinking at the age of fourteen, and you bought me the beers any ways.
JBEALL
We’re not talking about Jbeall, we’re talking about Ashley.
ASHLEY
You coming in?
JBEALL
Yeah, I’m sure your dad would love me coming in at one o’clock in the morning with his youngest daughter. I’ll pass.
ASHLEY
Ok, well I’m going to bed.
Ashley walks up and kisses Jbeall good night.
JBEALL
Sweet dreams.
Jbeall opens the car door and his massive tricep flexes as he gets into his car.
INT. -- HIGH SCHOOL GYM -- MORNING
The high school band is setting up behind Duece and Bucky who are sitting at a table with their headset microphones on. Cheer leaders in full uniform pass back and forth in front of Deuce and Bucky’s sound table.
DUECE
Good Morning Jacksonville! I can taste tonight’s sweet victory! This is Deuce and Bucky coming to you on a special morning edition of sports news.
BUCKY
I don’t want the Indians to beat those losers I want them to murder’em.
DUECE
I hope our boys got a great night a sleep.
INT. -- JJSTEEL’S BEDROOM -- MORNING
JJ’s alarm radio truns on to wake him up and it is the familiar sounds of the Deuce and Bucky talk show. The inside of JJsteel’s bedroom is huge. He slides off a king size water bed and slams a muscle milk protein shake then lets a belch that echoes.
BUCKY (V.O.)
Well I know they got more sleep than the varsity cheerleaders.
DUECE (V.O.)
They spent the night in Jail for trying to paint senior hill.
JJsteel walks into his rest room and cracks a smile.
BUCKY (V.O.)
They did one hell of a job.
EXT. -- SENIOR HILL -- MORNING
A car stops at the bottom of the hill and a woman gets out with her kids and takes a picture in front of the hill. One car completely runs through a stop sign and nearly slams into the back of another car.
DUECE (V.O.)
Well those girls sure do love the numbers forty one and especially forty four. Any one driving up to school today is going to be looking at the names JBeall and JJsteel.
Senior Hill is covered with Paint but, the names Jbeall and JJsteel are the two largest and most visible.
BUCKY (V.O.)
For those of you who have been stuck up a penguins ass in Antarctica Jbeall and JJsteel are without a doubt.
DUECE (V.O.)
Without a doubt.
INT. -- HIGH SCHOOL GYM -- MORNING
Deuce and Bucky sit at their sound table while Bucky pours a flask of vodka into his coffee. Deuce watches the cheer leader stretch and warm up.
BUCKY (V.O.)
Two of the most talented players to play high school football. Hell, Coach Strong calls them Hanz and Franz and do you know why? When you look at these guys physiques you know why.
INT. -- JJSTEEL’S REST ROOM -- MORNING
JJsteel Stand in front of his sink brushing his teeth with his shirt off.
DUECE (V.O.)
Hey, do you think Jbeall would want to maybe hang out with us one night? We could drink a couple beers talk football.
JJsteel stands at the sink putting on his deodorant and shakes his head in doubt of Deuces comment.
BUCKY (V.O.)
Well you can ask him when you see him at the pep rally. Those of you tuning in we are talking Indian football and baby and you are listening to..
DUECE (V.O.)
Duece and Bucky talk show.
INT. -- HIGH SCHOOL GYM -- MORNING
BUCKY
Remember guys if it ain’t Wrangler it ain’t worth wearing. Wrangler available at your local Wal-Mart. So go get a pair.
EXT. -- FIELD HOUSE -- MORNING
JJsteel walks out of the field house wearing a wife beater and jeans. Jbeall pulls up to his reserved parking spot and hops out of his car wearing nothing but his flip flops and boxer briefs. Jbeall stands beside his car and puts on his jeans and shirt.
JJSTEEL
Do you feel like going to the pep rally?
JBEALL
Not really man. I have the biggest drink list for the party tonight. We’re not going to have time to go to the store after the game. I want to get a few bottles of liquor.
JJSTEEL
Your right, liquor closes at 9:00 PM.
Rap music starts playing and people are walking around the back parking lot. Students are everywhere and two cheer leaders twirl around lifting their cheer leading skirts in the air. The cheerleaders are not wearing any bottoms. A group of several students of all races are standing in the back of a truck dancing to the music that is being played. Coach Minyard and Caoch Strong stand in the middle of the parking lot sipping their morning coffee.
COACH MINYARD
Is that coach Carpenter?
Coach Carpenter is in the back of a truck freak dancing with a hot cheerleader. Underclassman 1 and underclassmen 2 are observing the pre pep rally riot. Quick flashes of student’s year book pictures flip by until stopping on Coach Carpenters photo.
UNDER CLASSMAN 1
It’s his first year here at Jacksonville. He’s been assigned to coach Jbeall’s tight end position. When he’s not coaching, he is out with Jbeall and the senior guys getting in trouble.
INT. -- STRIP CLUB -- NIGHT
Coach Carpenter is giving Jbeall and the rest of the senior football a grand tour of the strip club.
COACH CARPENTER
(cocky)
Now see gentlemen all this could be yours for a small price.
A waitress walks by and gives coach carpenter a beer.
WAITRESS
(giving)
Can I get you boys a drink?
COACH CARPENTER
Bring them all beers and a round of shots. Put it on my tab.
The group starts walking to the stage.
COACH CARPENTER
This is my designated area.
Carpenter has a red leather chair by the stage that is sectioned off by chains. The team walks up to the stage and stares at the strippers like drugged seals. The stripper bends down from the stage and rubs her breast in Jbeall’s face. Jbeall has a look of pure nirvana on his face. He then looks to his right.
JBEALL
(protectivley)
JJ no!
JJsteel crams his face into the crack of a strippers butt. Jbeall looks disgusted and the teammates react the same. Brian starts to curl his nose and pucker his lips.
BRIAN (V.O.)
That’s not healthy.
Coach Carpenter walks up to JJsteel.
COACH CARPENTER
(enthusiastically)
Now that is what I’m talking about.
Carpenter walks up to JJsteel removes his face and replaces it with is own.
STRIPPER 1
Hey coach.
COACH CARPENTER
Hey Brandy.
STRIPPER 2
How’s my sexy football coach.
COACH CARPENTER
He’s doing horny and ready to give you his entire pay check.
The strippers walk away and Coach Carpenter slaps them on the butt as they walk away.
EXT. -- FIELD HOUSE PARKING LOT -- MORNING
Coach Carpenter’s hip thrusting has become more aggressive with the cheerleaders.
COACH MINYARD
(insulted)
Do you want me to do something about this?
COACH STRONG
No, as long as he takes care of Jbeall and Steel and keeps them out of trouble I could care less what he does.
Jbeall and JJsteel both get into Jbeall’s car and put on their seat belts in unison. JBeall starts the engine to his car and coach Newton walks up tapping on the driver side window. Jbeall rolls the window down as coach Newton leans in with a dip dripping out of the left side of his mouth.
NEWTON
Where do you boys think yall are going?
Jbeall looks offended but continues to stare straight ahead through his windshield.
JBEALL
Get the hell off my car.
NEWTON
If you boys don’t go to the pep rally you boys aint playing tonight, and you can bet your ass I’ll make sure of that.
JJSTEEL
Your not even a coach any more. Your the lawn mower man for the school district.
Newton points to himself
NEWTON
(offended)
You shut your damn mouth. My job title is president project coordinator over landscaping
JJsteel and Jbeall sit in their car seats laughing uncontrollably.
JBEALL
(laughing)
Why are you still wearing a whistle around your neck.
Newton becomes offended and spit flies out of his mouth when he replies.
NEWTON
What did you say boy?
Jbeall wipes the tobacco spit off of the left side of his face. JBeall remains sitting but, becomes enraged. Coach Strong yells across the parking lot
STRONG
Newton you better get your ass to the tomato bowl and get that football field ready for kick off.
NEWTON
(scared)
You got it coach.
Newton bends back down.
NEWTON
You boys better watch your ass.
As Jbeall drives away he reaches out and snatches the whistle from around Newtons neck causing him to jog beside the car Screaming until eventually falling to the ground.
NEWTON
(angry)
Give me back my whistle you punk.
The whistle from around Newton’s neck breaks as Jbeall drives off. Jbeall hands the whistle to JJsteel, JJsteel takes the whistle and puts it down the front of his pants. He then causelessly passes it to Jbeall who throws it out the window. Newton grabs it off the ground.
COACH NEWTON
(relieves)
Son of a bitches.
Newton looks the whistle over and places into his mouth. He takes it out of his mouth and looks at it for a moment then proceeds to put it back into his mouth. He turns around and starts walking back to the field house.
NEWTON
That taste so familiar.
EXT. -- GUARD SHACK -- MORNING
Jbeall and JJsteel pull up to the guard shack. The guard, Butch, is in the building watching a pornographic film with his feet propped up on the counter. He see’s the two players pull up.
BUTCH
(cocky)
Well, well, well look who decided to come see me.
Butch has a hole in his shirt and sweat stains under his arm pits.
JJSTEEL
(calm)
Butch what’s up?
BUTCH
Nothing much Hollywood. Where are yall going today.
JBEALL
Its Friday baby, time to make a beer run.
Butch pats his pockets down knowing he does not have any money.
BUTCH
(shocked)
Damn it guys, I don’t have my wallet.
JBEALL
(calm)
Don’t worry, you want your usual?
BUTCH
(confident)
You bet ya, I only drink the finest.
JBeall chuckles.
JBEALL
Peace.
JBeall starts to drive away and JJsteel hangs his head out the car window.
JJSTEEL
I would like to have my porn collection back some time this week.
BUTCH
I’ll think about it.
Newton pulls up to the guard shack. Butch senses a vehicle driving up behind him, he turns around with an angry face and runs up to the driver side window holding his hand up for Newton to stop.
BUTCH
Stop!!!! where the hell do you think your going
NEWTON
(aggravated)
Were I go every friday.
BUTCH
Not with out pass your not.
NEWTON
I’m the president project landscaping coordinator for this here school district.
Butch starts laughing.
BUTCH
I don’t give a shit Newton, no pass, no exit.
Newton hocks back and spits into a cup teaming with past tobacco juice.
NEWTON
God Damn It!!!
Newton throws his truck into reverse spilling the juice on his seat and arm. He backs up then turns his truck around and drives back onto campus. Newton observes Butch through his rearview mirror screaming.
BUTCH
This is my campus sweetheart.
INT. -- JBEALL’S CAR -- MORNING
Jbeall and JJsteel are heading down a country road about a hundred miles an hour. JBeall looks out the window then down at his phone as if something is troubling him. He bites his lip.
JJSTEEL
Man what’s going on with you and Jax, it seems like one week yall are together and the next yall hate each other.
Jbeall turns from the window and looks at JJsteel.
JBEALL
(depressed)
I know, tell me about it. I keep catching her doing petty shit. like going over to other guys houses. I check her phone when shes not looking and it’s the same guys over and over.
JJSTEEL
(careless)
Ditch the bitch.
Jbeall makes a complicated face.
JBEALL
I try, every time I do a few weeks later I calm down about everything because its what I said, petty stuff. It doesn’t seem petty at the time but in my conscious I ask myself if what shes done is really worth throwing our good times away. Does that make any since?
JJsteel lifts his eye brow while he stares at the road ahead.
JJSTEEL
(humble)
Yea, of course.
JBeall looks a JJsteel with a grin.
JBEALL
Now don’t get me wrong, if I walked in and she was getting doubled stuffed by two guys, you bet I’d toss her ass, but until then it’s all forgivable mistakes.
JJsteel laughs.
JJSTEEL
(curious)
So what’s up with Ashley then?
JBEALL
Ashley is cool as shit. She knows how to have a good time and she’s the complete opposite of Jax but, I hold the same question as before. Is Ashley worth throwing everything away between Jax and I?
JJSTEEL
(agitated)
Dude, I don’t want to hear anymore, I’m completely lost.
JBEALL
You brought it up.
JJSTEEL
I know, if you want my honest opinion I would go for Jax’s mom. She’s so fucking hot.
JJsteel clenches his jaw.
JSTEEL
(aggressive)
God!! I would give anything.
JBEALL
(shocked)
I didn’t tell you?
JJSTEEL
Tell me what?
JBEALL
About me and Jax’s mom.
JJSTEEL
(offended/sarcastic)
NO!!! You must have let that one slip by.
JBEALL
Get this.
EXT. -- JAX’S LAKE HOUSE -- NIGHT
Jbeall walks up to the front door and lets himself in. He notices no one is in the house so he makes his way to the back deck. Jbeall notices Jax mom dangling her legs off the deck while sipping on a wine cooler.
JBEALL (V.O.)
I went over to Jaxs’ house because I thought she was getting out of cheer leading practice at 9:00pm but, it was actually 10:00. I walk through the house and to the back dock over looking the lake and shes sitting on the edge of the deck drinking one of those bitch drinks, right.
JBEALL
Where is Jax?
JAX’S MOM
(flirtacious)
Jax Isn’t going to be home for an hour.
Jax mom throws the hair back out of her face and smiles.
JAX MOM
Why don’t we go out on the jet ski just to kill a few minutes.
Jax’s mom straddles the jet ski first, Jbeall then follows and puts his arms around her to hold on.
JBEALL (V.O.)
So we are out in the cove driving around slow. Then she grabs my hand and places it on her fucking left tit. Then she pulls my face around her shoulder and starts kissing me. I say fuck it and stick my hand down the front of her swimsuit. Lets just say she was louder than the jet ski engine.
INT. -- JBEALL’S CAR -- MORNING
JJsteel grabs Jbeall by the arm and starts to jump up and down from the excitement.
JJSTEEL
Dude are you serious?
JBEALL
(shouts)
HELL NO I’M NOT SERIOUS!
Jbeall looks down and notices JJsteel holding on to his right fore arm.
JBEALL
Get the fuck off my arm. I’m telling you a sex story and you start to hold my arm, and not to mention
Jbeall looks down at JJsteel’s crotch and his eyes enlarge.
JBEALL
You have the biggest hard on I’ve ever seen.
It is very evident that JJsteel has a massive boner.
JJSTEEL
(depressed)
Damn you Jbeall. You got me all wrapped up in to the story.
JBEALL
I can see that.
JJsteel and Jbeall pull up to the beer store.
JJSTEEL
You have the list and the money.
Jbeall slaps the back of his right jean pocket.
JBEALL
Yeah its all in my back pocket.
JJsteel jogs to catch up with Jbeall
JJSTEEL
Man this party is going to be sick.
JBEALL
You better start worrying about the game, nobody’s going to want to get wasted after a loss.
The entrance bell rings to the beer store. The beer store owner, Boone, acts like a lunatic.
BOONE
(screams)
What’s up guys? Yall come here to get ready for an after party.
JBEALL
What’s up baby, there’s what we need. Oh yeah, throw Butch’s usual in there also.
JJSTEEL
You coming to the game Boone?
BOONE
(insulted)
Hell no! I don’t give a shit about football. I just like you high school kids spending your money in my store.
JJSTEEL
Throw in some of that Lucas as well Boone.
Jbeall looks at the lucas beer salt in JJsteel’s hand and shakes his head in confusion.
BOONE
We have seven thirty packs of bud light, five cases of keystone, four cases of sky blue, 11 bottles of boones, two bottles of Jim Bean, and a case of natural ice.
BOONE
Total comes to 437.66 dollars, out of 550.00.
A beer store worker walks out of the fridge area as Boone throws the cash in the register.
BEER STORE WORKER
(concerned)
You need any ice man?
Jbeall stands there in deep thought for a second.
JBEALL
No. We didn’t bring any coolers.
Jbeall, JJsteel and the beer store worker are standing behind Jbeall’s car with the trunk open. The back of the trunk is crammed with boxes of alcohol. Jbeall shuts the trunk and hands the beer store worker a twenty dollar bill for his tip.
BEER STORE WORKER
Thanks player.
Jbeall and JJsteel are in the car heading back to the high school. JJsteel pops open two beers and hands one to Jbeall.
JJSTEEL
Man I’m wondering about that porn collection I let butch borrow. I don’t think he’s going to give it back.
JBEALL
Jess still won’t let you.
JJsteel abruptly interupts.
JJSTEEL
(screams)
Nope.
JBEALL
I’m telling you that bitch is a lesbian. Your cock scares her.
JJSTEEL
Real funny not everyone gets to fuck a girl with a cucumber on a daily basis.
Jbeall smirks as he turns to look at JJsteel.
JBEALL
I remember when your parents thought you had a porn addiction and held that intervention at your grand parents house.
JJSTEEL
Don’t start about my addictions, let’s talk about the vicodine and whisky binge you were on. How long was that, three months.
Jbeall looks out of the corner of his eye like he’s trying to remember.
INT. -- JBEALL’S HOUSE -- NIGHT
Jbeall is standing at the kitchen counter with his back to the room. A half full whiskey bottle stands to the right of Jbeall, he is crushing vicodin pills into a large mound. He then scrapes the mound of vicodin powder off the counter and mixes it into his glass of whisky. Jbeall finishes the glass and slided it into the kitchen sink. The glass breaks, He looks at his dogs and asks them if they are ready. The dogs turn their heads in confusion. Jbeall and his dogs walk out of the back of the house and down the drive way. He and his dogs are walking down a side walk beside a house. Jbeall looks down at his dogs period.
JBEALL
(intoxicated)
You guys are getting really good at this, really yall are.
Jbeall can barely walk up to the front door. His dogs follow him. He looks at the front door and then at the dogs.
JBEALL
(cocky)
Are yall ready for this shit? these mother fuckers are never gonna figure it out.
Jbeall rings on the door bell, he stumbles down the stairs into the front yard. The dogs follow. Jbeall elaborately swings his arm over his shoulder motioning to the dogs.
JBEALL
Everybody run, guys lets go.
Jbeall passes out in the middle of the yard with the bottle of whisky in his hand. The owners of the house come out. The husband stands at the top of the stair case while the wife walks down in to the yard wearing her night gown on. The wife readjusts her night gown and stands there with her arms crossed looking to see if any neighbors are watching.
WIFE OF THE HOUSE
(embarrassed)
Get your ass back in the house and go to bed, you have school in the morning.
The wife looks back at her husband.
WIFE OF THE HOUSE
(demands)
Come help me get our son out of the front yard.
Jbeall lays on the ground with the whiskey bottle in his hand, the dogs walk up and sniffs him. Jbeall awakens and lifts his head off the ground then mumbles.
JBEALL
(dramatic)
Run before they put you in the kettle.
Jbeall drops his head to the ground and passes out completely
INT. -- JBEALL’S CAR -- MORNING
Jbeall and JJsteel are lost within themselves as they gaze on to the road.
JBEALL
I miss those day’s.
JJSTEEL
I think you need to keep your addictions under control.
Jbeall turns to JJsteel.
JBEALL
Yeah you are one to talk. You have every Jenna Jameson movie ever made. A penis pump and a blow up doll. Your addicted to sex.
JJsteel turns to Jbeall
JJSTEEL
You are full of shit.
JBEALL
I bet power drive that blow up doll every night like a jack hammer.
Jbeall point to the dashboard as he makes his point.
JBEALL
Now that my friend is addiction.
JJSTEEL
Well if we are married it is not an addiction.
Jbeall and JJsteel show back up to campus. They drive up to the guard shack and roll down their windows. Butch walks over and leans down to JJsteel and Jbeall’s level.
BUTCH
Hey guys, how did it go?
JJsteel reach’s into the back of the car and grabs Butch’s case of beer. He hands the case of beer to Jbeall, who hands the case of beer through the window to butch.
BUTCH
That’s what I’m talking about.
JBEALL
I don’t see how you drink that shit.
JJSTEEL
How long has the pep rally been out for?
Butch stands up and looks at the gymnasium with a case of beer in his right hand.
BUTCH
I don’t think its even let out. Yall be good.
Jbeall and JJsteel drive to the back of the school parking lot and park by the field house. The pep rally lets outs, and a swarm of students exit the building. The principles are walking around the parking lot telling students to get to class.
PRINCIPLES
Everybody has five minutes to get back to class, or I start handing out invitations to Saturday school.
INT. -- FIELD HOUSE -- MORNING
BST and Brian are standing in the field house talking about the up coming order that Jbeall and JJsteel are putting together for the football team. Brian stands there wearing his game jersey running shoe laces through his cleats.
BRIAN
What did you order from Jbeall and JJsteel?
Bst sits in a metal fold out chair relaxed.
BST
Just Sust. 250 and dbol.
BST
How bout you.
BRIAN
Enanthate and deca.
While Brian and BST are speaking, several team mates are coming up to Jbeall and JJsteel’s lockers sliding steroid orders in the cracks of the locker doors.
BST
(concerned)
You ever worry about getting drug tested and this shit showing up.
BRIAN
No… the UIL doesn’t test for roids, at least not now they don’t…
BST
Why is that?
Brian cracks a smile.
BRIAN
(confident)
Cost too much.
Brian grabs a nearby chair and takes a seat next to BST.
Not only would they have to test all the football teams, freshman through varsity but, they would have to test all the cheerleaders, charmers the band and pretty much anybody that steps onto a field or court. That my friend gets expensive when your talking about testing the entire state of Texas.
Brian slaps BST’s leg stands up and walks away.
BRIAN
See yall in docs office.
Brian walks out of the locker room. BST looks behind himself and watch’s Brian leave the room. BST turns back around and takes off his shirt and opens his locker.
EXT. -- FIELD HOUSE PARKING LOT -- MORNING
Jbeall and JJsteel are walking across the parking lot, Coach Carpenter approach’s them.
COACH CARPENTER
I need you two to get focused on the game tonight, I know there’s a lot of distractions today so go do whatever it is yall do and relax.
INT. -- LOCKER ROOM -- MORNING
Jbeall and JJsteel both slowly walk into the field house. Jeremy and Jacob walk up to their lockers and open them. At the same time several envelopes labeled (steroid orders) fall out of both lockers.
JBEALL
Sales are up this week.
JJSTEEL
Yea, I guess coach’s speech about the team doing what ever it takes to get faster and stronger for the playoffs helped.
JBEALL
Well he’s not taking any profit, I’ll consider that free advertising.
JJSTEEL
You think if he ever found out what we were doing he would kick us off the team.
JBEALL
It’s more of a don’t ask, don’t tell mind set.
Jbeall bends down and scoops all the envelopes up and puts them back into his locker.JJsteel Stands there and texts on his cell phone. Jbeall grabs his towl and strips down to take a shower.
INT. --SHOWER ROOM -- MORNING
Jbeall stands underneath a shower head letting the steaming water run down his body. JJsteel and BST race each other into the shower in order to get the warmer shower head. Jbeall turns around slowly. BST beats JJsteel to the shower desired shower head.
JJSTEEL
BST you never use the shower.
BST turns his head over his right shoulder.
BST
I know because you are always in it.
JJsteel stand behind BST impatiently waiting for him to finish.
BST
Why don’t you just use the other shower head.
BST points across the room to the other shower heads.
JJSTEEL
Eat shit, you know all those other showers are ice cold.
Jbeall turns around
JBEALL
you can share mine with me.
JJsteel starts to walk over to Jbeall’s stall.
JBEALL
You think I’m serious?... Do You?
JJSTEEL
Fuck both of you hurry up I’m freezing.
BST shakes his head.
BST
No I’m taking my time on this one.
JJsteel stands behind BST with his arms crossed shivering. BST turns to JBeall.
BST
You don’t think D-bol is going to fuck with my blood pressure do you?
JBEALL
Yeah its one of the side effects.
Jbeall is quickly distracted by JJsteel. Jbeall notices a yellow stream flowing over BST’s right shoulder. Jbeall tries not to stare. BST makes pleasurable faces as he dips his head under the hot water. JJsteel stands behind BST urinating on his shoulders and head, but because BST’s head is down under the hot water he does not notice. Jbeall leans on the shower wall laughing uncontrollably.
BST
(insulted)
Side effects are not funny Jbeall I take them serious.
JJsteel is still standing behind BST urinating on him. The yellow stream finally trickles down and JJsteel gives a pleasurable shake. BST walks out of the shower.
BST
It is amazing how a hot shower wakes you up in the morning. I’ll see yall in Doc’s office.
BST exits the shower drying his hair. JJsteel steps under the warm shower head. Jbeall jsut smiles and turns to the wall.
JBEALL
You know he probably really needed that shower.
JJSTEEL
You are right he did.
Jbeall and JJsteel exit the showers.
INT. -- FIELD HOUSE DRESSING ROOM -- MORNING
Jbeall and JJsteel stand in front of their lockers fully dressed in their Jeans and game jerseys. Jbeall bends down and pulls together all the steroid orders and places them under his shirt.
INT. -- DOC’S TRAINING ROOM -- MORNING
JBeall and JJSteel walk into the training room (Docs Office). All of the starters on the football team are laid up and relaxing on the examining tables. JBeall walks into Doc’s office and grabs a bottle of pain killers out of Doc’s desk. He then walks back into the main room were the starters are congregated. JJsteel is standing in the middle of the room putting the TV channel on 3. Jbeall walks up to an examining table and lays the envelopes down. JJsteel turns around and questions the players.
JJSTEEL
Who wants to watch a movie.
QUINTILLY
What the fuck you putting in steel?
JJSTEEL
A suprise.
Q-tip/Quintilly, the star receiver, is sitting on a table talking to a trainer named Jenny with his arms around her waste grabbing her butt. The team mates are behind Jennie, pointing and whispering. Everyone in the room comes to see what the pointing is about. The team spots a large blood stain on the back of Jenny’s pants.
It appears that she has started her period and did not know it. Quintilly is propt up on the table acting like a pimp. When Jenny walks away JJsteel slides up to Quintilly and whispers into his ear. Quintilly looks towards Jenny walking away and his eye’s light up. Jbeall is straddling the examining table with three organized stacks of money in front of him. The head trainer, DOC, walks in. Jbeall relaxes on the examining table with his phone pressed against his ear.
DRUG DEALER (V.O.)

JBEALL

DRUG DEALER (V.O.)

Jbeall picks up a near by peice of paper and holds it infront of his face.
JBEALL

DRUG DEALER

JBEALL

DRUG DEALER

JBEALL
Sounds like a plan.
Jbeall hangs up the phone and tosses it on the table he is straddling. Jbeall puts the money into one big envelope. He then opens the vicodin bottle and takes them for himself and passes the bottle to JJsteel who is sitting on an examining table across the room from him. JJsteel then walks around dispensing the pills to every individual player in the room. Doc walks in the room.
DOC
Is anybody going to class today?
Everyone looks around but, no one speaks up.
DOC
Nobody? If you guys stay in here yall can’t be going in and out, I’m not getting my ass chewed out by the other teacher.
BRIAN
We’ll be ok.
Brian sits on an examining table cleaning out his ears. Doc walks back out and shuts the door behind him.
JBEALL
JJteel what movie you putting in?
JJSTEEL
The Program baby!
Brian turns around on the examining table
BRIAN
Nice selection.
Jbeall walks over to the thermostat and cranks the air conditioner down to 50 degrees. The lights are out and everyone has a place to lay and a pillow with a blanket to cover up with. Everyone passes out during the movie and doesn’t wake up until school is over. The 3:15pm bell rings and everybody awakens for the pre-game meetings. Jbeall and JJsteel slowly walk out of Doc’s office and into the locker room
INT. -- FIELD HOUSE LOCKER ROOM -- AFTERNOON
Coach Strong walks in to the football locker room and starts gathering up the players.
STRONG
I expect every player to be dressed and with their position coach for pre game meetings. Everybody needs to have there bags packed and ready to get on the bus after the meetings.
JJsteel, Jbeall and the rest of the players make their way to the meeting room.
INT. -- MEETING ROOM -- AFTERNOON
The players are sitting in a stadium style seating arrangement facing a dry erase board. Coach Strong points to several plays mapped out on the dry erase board.
COACH STRONG
Guys I can’t stress enough no turn overs.
Coach Strong looks a Jake the quarterback.
COACH CARPENTER
Got that Jake.
JAKE
Yes sir.
COACH STRONG
We are going to smash them in the mouth. If we win the toss we are going to differ.
Coach carpenter looks at JJsteel who is half asleep wrapped in a blanket. Coach Stunner walks in the room and uses his hand as a phone against his ear.
COACH STUNNER
Strong your wife on the phone.
Coach Strong jogs out of the meeting room.
COACH CARPENTER
If we get close on the goal line Strong will call you in. You and Jbeall are going to run Hanz and Franz the goal line play we have practiced.
Jbeall hears his name and half way pays attention
COACH CARPENTER
Now guys this is not the same team we played last year. They got a new coach and I’m sure he has some tricks up his sleeve. We need to be watching out for the reverse and QB keeper. Their QB likes to take it and run.
JBEALL
Unlike ours.
Jbeall then begins to snore like he is asleep as the team snickers.
JAKE
Hey coach are we going to work the option tonight or air it out.
COACH CARPENTER
Jake shut the fuck up I’m talking.
Jake lowers his head and becomes solemnly quite.
COACH CARPENTER
We are going to air it out tonight. Quintilly you are going to have to just try your best to catch whatever the hell Jake throws at you and Jake try not to shit your pants tonight.
The team laughs at Jake as he holds his head defiantly then whispers to himself.
JAKE (WHISPERING)
It’s a joke they are just jealous of you.
JJsteel sits there with his eyes shut wrapped in a blanket but awake.
JJSTEEL
I poo pood in my panties.
COACH CARPENTER
JBeall I want you to hold on to that ball like it’s your orphan child. No harm meant by that one BST.
Brandon is laying on the cement floor in the corner with a dip of snuff in his mouth and a cup in his hand.
JBEALL
Bastard.
BST
I fucking heard that Jbeall don’t talk to me like I am God Damn retard.
BST begins to choke on is dip.
COACH CARPENTER
Alright BST nice impression of coach Newton. Now shut your bastard ass up. Jbeall and JJsteel wake up.
Coach Carpenter walks over to were Jbeall is asleep in and drops a small piece ice on his head. Jbeall then picks him up over his shoulder and starts to walk out of the room.
JBEALL
Am I going to have to beat your ass old man?
COACH CARPENTER
Put me down! My hemorrhoids!
Coach Carpenter recovers and Jbeall pats him on the back. He starts to bend his large stomach back up while holding his back.
COACH CARPENTER
Listen Jbeall I’m just trying to get you boys psyched up and ready kill those sons of bitches tonight.
Jbeall looks very calm and collected as he responds.
JBEALL
Oh, its always quietest before the storm.
COACH CARPENTER
I want you boys to go on that field tonight like a couple of killers scalping and raping. You understand me.
BST walks over to Coach Carpenter.
BST
I’m going to put a razor blade in my shoulder pads that way on kick off I’ll cut some ones neck wide open and they won’t even know it.
Coach Carpenter looks at BST
COACH CARPENTER
BST you are a God Damn retard. Just stick to the special teams and work on your punt return.
BST grins and his teeth are yellow and full of tobacco.
COACH CARPENTER
Brush your teeth while you are at it.
INT. -- COACHES OFFICE -- DAY
Coach Strong walks into the room and immediately sits in his chair which has back beads on it. He takes off his hat exposing his bald head then sips from a mug and looks at coach Carpenter.
COACH STRONG
Will you go tell everyone who is not in my office to get in here.
Coach Strong the looks at Jbeall and JJsteel who are walking in the office.
COACH STRONG
I was just on the phone with the head coach for Miami. He told me to send him the tape of tonights game. I hope you boys are ready to crack some skulls.
Jbeall looks at JJsteel and gives him a nod.
JJSTEEL
I think that can be arranged.
Players start to pour into the coaches office and Coach Strong yells out the door.
COACH STRONG
Somebody tell my son to get in her before I make him sit in the stands with his mommy.
Most of the team including Jbeall and JJsteel are sitting on the coaches floor wearing their football pants and a Tribe shirt. Once all the Players and coaches fill in the room. The Door is shut.
COACH STRONG
Coach stunner go over the offense.
Coach Strong leans back in his chair as coach stunner gets up and begins to shift his weight from side to side like he is nervous but, crunk at the same time.
COACH STUNNER
Alright We are going to Air out it tonight. Trips forty nine post. Ok that play is going to be boom right out the bat. We are going to use our speed on the end to stretch out their defense and when they least expect it. That’s when we are going to hit them in the mouth. Jbeall this is going to be a big night tonight.
Coach Stunner takes out a pen and starts drawing X’s and O’s.
COACH STUNNER
I don’t know if coach Strong has already told you but, there are going to be some scouts out. It’s a Big game that we can’t afford to lose so we are going to have to hold on to that football no mistakes. Here is an example of the gaol line play we worked on called Hanz and Franz.
Coach Stunner points at JJsteel and Jbeall.
COACH STUNNER
We are going to stack you two on the week side and run it right behind you. It’s a guaranteed score. Coach Minyard anything our defense needs to know about.
Coach Minyard Looks at the team through his thick bifocals.
COACH MINYARD
Nope.
COACH STRONG
Coach Carpenter go ahead and start the highlight video.
Coach Carpenter leans in and presses play on the VCR. The lights are turned off and the TV in front of the room starts to play an eighties rock song as the team sits mesmerized studying the major hits from the previous game a week before.
After the video is over the meeting lets out and every player is locked in and completely quiet. No one says a word as all the players walk onto the bus and take their seats. Coach Strong is the last to load the bus.
COACH STRONG
Take this time gentlemen to focus on what we need to do tonight. I want you to through each play mentally, there shouldn’t be any doubt come kick off. You guys are a better team then they are and ya’ll are about to prove me right.
The bus takes off creeping slowly through the school parking lot and past the guard shack. The guard, Butch, is past out on the center of the floor with his feet holding the door opened and beer cans of natural ice are easily viewable from the bus. JJsteel and Jbeall’s eyes light up from shock at the idea that they help to create Butch’s extreme intoxication.
EXT. -- TOMATO BOWL ENTRANCE -- DUSK (PRE GAME)
Montage: The bus slowly cruises into the entrance of the tomato bowl. An aggressive song starts to play and does so until the end of the montage. The bus slowly cruises into the entrance, an aggressive song starts to play. Coach Strong stands up with the music playing and waves his arm for the players to follow him off the bus.
Each player gets off the bus one by one. The team starts to walk to the locker room as a group. The opposing team is already at the stadium and standing a few feet from the tomato bowl locker room. One of the opposing team’s players, number eighty four, spits on Jbeall. Jbeall mouths the players number to himself.
The Indians become outraged that Jbeall was spit on. A quick brawl breaks lose. During the brawl, one of the opposing teams’ coaches grabs JJsteel’s jersey. Coach carpenter comes from behind the bus and throw’s an empty water cooler at the coach’s head. The water cooler knocks the coach to the ground.
Carpenter is irate and ready to fight. Jbeall looks to Coach Carpenter and notices a smeared clump of a white substance under his nose. Jbeall’s eyes light up as he motions for coach Carpenter to wipe his nose. Coach Carpenter wipes his nose with his thumb and licks it.
INT. -- TOMATO BOWL LOCKER ROOM -- EVENING
Coach Carpenter walks to the front door from the tomato bowl locker room. He motions to Jbeall and JJsteel to follow. When JJsteel and Jbeall round the corner in the tomato bowl locker room Coach Carpenter stands with his clip board in hand prop up on his stomach. There is a referee in the back of the locker room using the urinal with his back turned. There are four cut lines of cocaine awaiting the two players. Coach Carpenter smiles and waves JJsteel and Jbeall over then hands each a straw. Coach Carpenter leans down with his face on the clip board and snorts a line. JBeall then walks up snorts his line and JJsteel follows. Coach Carpenter notices an extra line of cocaine and begins to look around the locker room.
EXT. -- TOMATO BOWL LOCKER ROOM -- EVENING
Jbeall leads Coach Carpenter and JJsteel out of the locker room. All three are holding their nose from the burn of the lines they snorted. A few seconds pass by and the referee Walks out of the locker room wiping nose.
INT. -- TOMATO BOWL -- NIGHT (GAME TIME)
Its night, the ACDC song is still playing and the game is about to start. Every player is suited out in there football armor. The Team walks out in a single file line, like emotionless warriors preparing for battle. They walk in to a large tepee then start to rock back and forth to a rhythm then burst out the fog filled tepee rushing out onto the football field. Cheer leaders are in front of them running with the team.
The team meets in the center of the field, Jbeall is in the middle of the crowd getting his team pumped. He breaks them out and the team runs to the sidelines.
As the Indians are getting ready for kick off the team lines up on the twenty yard line. Some players are jumping up and down trying to get blood pumping through their legs while other Players are flexing their forearms with intense aggression.
The opposing team is standing on the other side of the fifty yard line glaring and looking cocky and over confident. The Henderson’s coach is yelling and pointing at his players.
The kicker for the Indians drops his arm from above his head and the team crouches down and gets ready for attack. The football is kicked and the Indians blaze down the field with the look of hate and anger in their eyes.
The opposing team catches the ball and starts to run but,before getting less then five yards an Indian comes down the field with lightning speed and lay’s the hardest helmet to helmet hit ever seen. The player from Henderson fumbles the ball and the Indians recover.
Coach Strong is over on the side lines griping his fist and making a face that signifies he is enjoying the pain his players are inflicting. The Indian offense takes the field at their fifteen yard line. The offense breaks the huddle and the guy that spits on Jbeall is right across the line of scrimmage from him. As soon as the ball is hiked Jbeall gives a bone crushing uppercut to the guy that spit on him. Blood sprays out of the defending players mouth as he drops to his knees and falls to his face from the excruciating pain.
Jake tosses the ball to the left and running back catches it as he sprints to the left side. The running back doesn’t see an opening, so he cuts back to the right. The entire right side of the field is vacant besides the guy that Jbeall uppercut in the jaw. He’s still laid out motionless. The running back runs untouched into the end zone.
Henderson has the ball on the Indians twenty yard line. The center hikes the ball and JJsteel blows through their offensive line. The tight end covering JJ falls back and JJ makes eye contact with the quarter back. The Henderson Quarterback tries to avoid JJ by running a bootleg quarter back sneak to JJ’s left.
JJ takes off charging in a lowered position, as if he is hunting this quarterback for the meat on his bone. JJ lowers his shoulder and lay’s a leg ripping decleating hit to the quarterback. The quarterback’s legs are above his shoulders and he is flipping in mid air then lands on his head. JJ loses his balance after his crippling tackle, and slides on his back away from the line of scrimmage.
The quarterback loses the ball which JJsteel quickly notices and scavenges for it. JJsteel reach’s out lying on his stomach and grabs the football. The referees’ blow the play dead. JJ stands up and holds the ball above his head with large muscular arms. JJsteel slams the ball on the ground and the referee’ s run up throwing their flags to the ground. Coach Strong jumps up on the sideline and throws his hat on the ground in anger, spitting and cursing.
The offense has the ball again, the quarter back drops back and throws a sixty yard pass down the field to Quintilly. Quintilly reaches out and makes a finger tip catch and gets taken down on the Indians 15 yard line. The center hikes the ball to the quarter back who peels back looking for an opening. Jbeall attacks the defensive end driving him off the line of scrimmage.
The quarter back tosses the ball to the running back. The running back makes a line drive right between the tackle and Jbeall. Jbeall pins the defensive end on the ground and the running back gets tackled by a linebacker on the 7 yard line. There is a dog pile around Jbeall and the running back. While Jbeall has the defensive end on the ground in the dog pile he punches the player in his crotch cuasing the defensive end to scream in pain. Jbeall gets a face mask to face mask and starts screaming obscenities to the player. Jbeall laughs and spits in the face of the defensive end.
The ball is hiked again and Jbeall runs into the upper right area of the open end zone, the quarter back drops back and throws a line drive pass to Jbeall which is completed. The offensive linemen run to Jbeall and stop ten yards in front of him. He takes the football and pretends to pull the pin out of a grenade using his mouth. Jbeall throws over his left shoulder and covers his ears with his hands while ducking down. He watches the football land in front of the offensive linemen.
The offensive linemen act like they are getting blown up. They throw themselves in different directions as the referee’s start throwing flags on the field for unsportsmen like conduct (celebrating). Even coach Carpenter acts as if he feels the shock wave from the imaginary blast. Coach Strong looks at coach Carpenter pissed off, coach carpenter looks at coach strong and throws his hands up and makes a goofy face, like he doesn’t know what’s going on.
The quarter back hands off to Brian, the full back. Brian runs in for a touch down. The final seconds run out on the score board, a gun shot represents the game has came to an end. The final score is 28-0 Jacksonville. The AC/DC song comes to an end. The team is loading up on the bus, coach strong is shaking hands with parents and fans.
FAN
Your boys know how to play football coach, we’re impressed every year they step out on the field.
COACH STRONG
Thank you, I appreciate that comment. These boys work their tails off for me.
FAN
It damn sure shows.
Coach strong takes a step onto the bus then turns around and wave to their fans.
COACH STRONG
Thank yall for coming out. It really gives us a reason to practice hard knowing we have such good fans. Yall take care.
The fans start cheering and yelling while the bus door shuts. The bus pulls away slowly.
INT. -- FIELD HOUSE -- AFTER GAME NIGHT
The players are back at the field house, everybody is getting dressed for the after party. Players are walking every where, some are coming out of the showers, some are ironing their jeans. JJsteel is standing next to Jbeall. JJsteel is spraying multiple sprays of cologne.
JBEALL
What’s up with all the cologne you smell like a Macy’s?
JJSTEEL
I haven’t told you but me and Jess are going to go out by ourselves.
JBEALL

JJSTEEL
That’s it, we don’t know where to go besides her house, but her mom gets so drunk she tries to hang out with us.
JBEALL
My dad’s parents are out of town for a while, if you want my key you can go handle up on your business there.
JJSTEEL

JBEALL
Why wouldn’t I?
JJSTEEL

JBEALL

Quintilly walks up to Jbeall and JJsteel with a real irritated look on his face.
QUINTILLY
Alright I love you guys death but, I know yall get off on little pranks but this time You have gone too far.
JBEALL
What?.......
QUINTILLY
The saving cream, its all over my locker.
JJSTEEL
We have no idea what’s going on.
Jbeall, JJsteel, and Quintilly walk around the lockers to view what Quintilly is talking about. Quintilly’s locker is covered from top to bottom with shaving cream. Quintilly picks up the empty shaving cream can.
QUINTILLY
There, take it I don’t want it.
JBEALL
I don’t want it either. I don’t even use that cheap shit.
JJSTEEL
looks to me like someone’s been shopping at the dollar general.
BST is looking out of the corner of his eye’s at the three talking about the shaving cream. Quintilly slowly turns his head and glares at BST.
QUINTILLY
God damn it, you fucking white trash peace of shit. Did you do this?
BST
What if I did? What are you going to do about it? You fucking porch nigger.
JBEALL
whoah, cut that shit out Brandon, we’re like family in this field house.
Brandon walks closer to Quintilly and stands an inch away from his face.
BST
Family? No nigger will ever be a part of my family. The only thing you’ll be apart of is the tree in my front yard when your hanging from a rope.
QUINTILLY
Fuck that!
Quintilly uppercuts Brandon, buckling his knees. Jbeall grabs Quintilly and forcefully walks him back away from the fight. BST lays knocked out. Brandon awakens and stumbles back to his locker. He sits in a chair in front of his locker holding his jaw. Brian looks down at him and shakes his head. JJsteel walks up to Quintilly and Jbeall.
JJSTEEL
I’m bout to go.
Jbeall pulls his grand parents house key out of his pocket and hands it to JJ.
JJSTEEL
Swing by my house tomorrow when you got the new order and toss it to me.
JJSTEEL
You got it.
JBEALL
JJ, they have an alarm on their house so just call me right before you walk in and I’ll tell you how to turn it off.
JJSTEEL
You better answer.
Jbeall turns to walk Quintilly back to his locker.
JJSTEEL
Don’t worry about white trash Q-tip.
JJ shouts over the row of lockers to Jbeall.
JJSTEEL
I better not be left hanging outside with my dick in my hand.
JJ turns around and walks out the field house.
INT. -- JJSTEEL’S CAR -- NIGHT
He is driving up to Jbeall’s grand parents house with Jess. JJ and Jess come to a complete stop and JJ puts the car in park then steps out. He walks around to Jess’s side of the car and opens the car door for her.
JESS
Thanks babe. Now who’s house is this again.
JJSTEEL
Jbeall’s grand parents.
JESS
That was nice of him.
JJ and Jess walk to the back door and JJ pulls his cell phone out of his pocket and dials Jbeall. The phone is ringing as Jbeall picks up and there is a loud commotion on Jbeall’s end of the phone.
JBEALL
What’s up brother?
JJSTEEL
How’s the party going?
JJSTEEL
Everybody’s just now getting here.
JJSTEEL
So what all do I have to do to get in?
JBEALL
When you enter the first door there’s not going to be an alarm, but when you unlock the second door that goes to the kitchen.
JJsteel unlocks the first door and him and jess walk in.
INT. -- JBEALL’S GRANDPARENT’S HOUSE -- NIGHT
JBEALL (V.O.)
The alarm is going to start making a high pitch noise, the key pad is on your right so just type in 4790. You should be good to go after that.
JJ walks to the second door and opens it, the alarm starts to make the high pitch noise. JJsteel turns to his right and types in 4790 and the alarm deactivates.
JJSTEEL
Nice, thanks again for all this.
JJSTEEL
Forget about it, be bad, later.
JJ and Jess walk through the laundry room then the kitchen. JJsteel turns on the kitchen and living room lights. he and Jess walk into the garden room where they see the swimming pool. JJsteel reaches up and turns on the pool lights
JESS
Not bad, I like it.
JJ and Jess walk outside and put their towels on the pool furniture. JJ already has his swim suit on and he turns to jess.
JJSTEEL
You can go inside and change if you want.
JESS
Where’s the rest room?
JJSTEEL
You know where I turned the alarm off at?
JESS
Yeah.
JJSTEEL
The rest room is just a few feet to the right of the alarm key pad.
JESS
I gotcha.
JJSTEEL
Hurry up.
Jess looks back with a little grin.
JESS
Don’t rush me.
Jess walks back into the garden room and into the kitchen. JJsteel walks around the pool and turns on the water hose for the slide. JJsteel walks back around the pool and dips his foot into the water to see how cool it is.
He walks back to the pool furniture and takes his shirt off then heads to the shallow end of the pool and uses the stairs to lower himself in until he dips himself completely under water.
With JJsteel’s back turned to the garden room Jess quietly slides the door open and shuts it behind her. Jess walks up to the edge of the pool where Jess entered and stands there waiting to get JJsteel attention. JJsteel turns around to find jess standing at the edge of the pool wearing her bikini bottoms and not top.
JJSTEEL
HEY…….
Jess smiles and puts her hair behind her ears then slowly steps one foot into the pool. She takes off her top and submerges inch by inch her half naked body.
JJsteel stands there flabbergasted. Jess slowly approaches JJsteel’s rock hard torso and raps her legs around his waste. He places his right hand on the small of her back and his left hand on the back of her head as they both go in for a kiss.
All of a sudden you hear a loud engine coming up the drive way. A Nissan 350z comes to a tire screeching halt and music is blaring out of the rolled down windows.
JJsteel and Jess get out of the pool to investigate the matter. Jess raps a towel around her chest. They both proceed to walk out into the driveway.
Jbeall jumps out of the Nissan 350z, two girls are sitting in the passenger seat drinking from a liquor bottle. He runs around the car and approaches the pool in the back yard were JJ and jess are.
JBEALL
Dude I know I said you could have the house for the night but, I’m having to take that back.
JJSTEEL
Tell me what’s up, are your grand parents coming back early.
JJsteel looks at Jbeall with confusion.
JBEALL
No Brian’s girlfriends parents came home from Dallas early, so the party’s switching locations.
JJsteel looks at Jess with sad faced.
JJSTEEL
Baby I’m sorry, it’s not my house.
Jess looks at JJ, then glares at Jeremy.
JESS
I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
Jess glares back at Jbeall.
JBEALL
Sorry, feel more then welcome to stay.
Jess walks away while she holds her middle finger in the air at Jbeall.
JBEALL
Fuck you to pussy eater.
JJSTEEL
What the fuck Jbeall.
JBEALL
Don’t expect me to stand here, and take that bitch’s attitude.
JJSTEEL
You don’t know how close I was to...
JBEALL
Say no more, I forgive you. It’s time to party.
A Texas rap song Several trucks and cars enter the long driveway filled with high school seniors. As car after car pull up people are yelling and having a good time. Trucks pull off the driveway and park in the open yard. Brian pulls up in his truck and backs into the parking garage. The back of his truck is filled with beer bottles and cans of beer covered to the bed rails with ice.
Random classmates walk through the gate to the pool one by one carrying coolers and individual bottles of liquor. A few stoners walk by with pipes and bongs, one guy tosses a large zip lock baggy full of weed to his friend across the garage. A group of friends are sitting around in a circle passing a bong. Girls are running around in their thongs and wet tee-shirts pushing guys into the pull. Two topless girls are sliding down the slide into the pool. In the distance, a local band is setting up stage across the pool area getting preparing to rock out.
Jbeall, JJsteel, Ashley and a few random friends are sitting around a table taking shots of patron. Ashley stands up and makes a toast.
ASHLEY
Fill in later.
JBEALL
That was beautiful.
JJSTEEL
Brian pass me that pipe.
Brian looks blazed and in deep thought.
BRIAN
What?
JJSTEEL
Pass… me… the… pipe…
BRIAN
What pipe?
JJSTEEL
The pipe in your hand buddy.
Brian just looks at the pipe like it’s not even there. JJ stands up and reaches over the table.
JJSTEEL
Never mind, just try not to die on us.
Brian looks at JJsteel with fearful eye’s then starts rubbing his chest.
BRIAN
What? What did you say?
JBEALL
Any ways!!! Where’s BST
JJSTEEL
He was talking about some girl from out of town he was going to pick up and bring out.
Jax walks through the gate. The whole table that Jbeall and JJsteel are sitting at focuses on her walking in.
ASHLEY
Who invited her.
Ashley looks at Jbeall with a bit of sarcasm.
JBEALL
I didn’t. Why wouldn’t you expect her not to show up the entire senior class is here.
ASHLEY
I’m not trying to be a bitch, she’s just gonna try to start shit like she always does.
Jax walks straight over to the table that Jeremy and the group are sitting.
JAX
Jeremy can I talk to you?
ASHLEY
Jax what do you need?
JAX
What I need, is for you to shut the fuck up and let me talk to Jeremy.
JBEALL
Don’t you come to this house and disrespect Ash. You understand me, your more then welcome to stay and drink but don’t you bring any of your attention driven bull shit to my party.
Ashley is sitting right next to Jeremy smiling at Jax as Jbeall corrects her.
JAX
What ever. You and your little slut can die, I just stopped by to see who all was here.
Jbeall points to the gate.
JBEALL
If you can’t get along you can get out.
Jax turns away and walks towards the gate. She mumbles while she’s walking away.
JAX
Fucking slut.
Ashley looks at Jeremy with shock and anger. Jbeall looks back at Ashley.
JBEALL
You go get you some.
Ashley runs up to jax and grabs her by her right shoulder then yanks her around face to face.
ASHLEY
What was that you little bitch.
Jax grabs Ashley and tries to push her around, but Ashley gets leverage and throws Jax into the pull fully clothed.
JAX
You fucking bitch! You are off the cheer leading team. I’ll see to that.
ASHLEY

Everybody around the pool is pointing and laughing. Jax starts screaming and swimming her way to the side of the pool. She gets out of the pool soaking wet and stomps her way out of the gate.

JBEALL

ASHLEY

JBEALL

Jbeall and Ashley take their seats at the table again. JJsteel’s eyes get really big, he looks away in embarrassment.
JJSTEEL
There’s BST, check out who’s with him.
BST walks in wearing wranglers and a tank top. He has two large women that must weigh two hundred pounds. He turns to the big women then grabs one on the ass.
BST
Ya’ll go get something to drink while I go have a few words with my boys.
BST walks over to the table and shakes JJ, Brian, and Jbeall’s hands. When BST gets to Jbeall, he stares Ashley down with a look of hate and jealousy. Ashley leans over to Jbeall and whispers.
ASHLEY

JBEALL
Ok.

ASHLEY

BST
We hate little sluts that flaunt their ass’s around and are never willing to go all the way through with it.
Ashley tries to walk around BST and leave the room but Brandon grabs her by her hair. She slams her into the counter and bends her over. Ashley starts to whimper.

BST
Shut your fucking mouth slut.
Ashley spits up blood through BST’s hand.
Jbeall tries the door but, it’s locked. Jbeall runs to the bedroom door and opens it. He and JJsteel then run to the second rest room door located within the bedroom.

JBEALL
Come here baby…. Come here.

JJSTEEL

BST
Oh don’t tell me you haven’t ever fantasized about that type of shit. I just have the balls to do it.
JJsteel points to the road with anger in his eye.

JJsteel turns over and wipes the sleep from his eyes. He had been passed out on the floor with a bottle of Jack Daniels.
JJSTEEL
You want me to go with you.
JBEALL
I don’t think he wants to see you.
Jbeall walks towards his gate and acts offended.
JJSTEEL
Why?
JBEALL
Remember when you purposely asked him where his wife was when he was with one of his girls... That’s why.
Jbeall walks towards his car.
JJSTEEL
You coming back?
JBEALL
Yeah, clear all these people out in 30 minutes.
Jbeall walks past the pool and several people are laid out sleeping from the night before. Jbeall drives off in his car and pulls underneath the over pass at the drop point.
EXT. -- UNDER THE OVER PASS -- MORNING
A speed bike zips by and Jbeall tosses the driver of the bike a large roll of money. The speed bike races away. A white Cadillac drives over the overpass and a Mexican hangs out the window and tosses a black duffle bag over the side rail of the bridge.
Jbeall watches the duffle bag get tossed off the bridge. He catches the bag and walks over to his car then pops the trunk and puts the bag inside.

JBEALL
Thanks for cleaning up.
JJSTEEL
No problem. I mean shit, it was all my idea any ways.
JBEALL
Here’s your cut smart ass.
Jbeall tosses him his share of the drug money. JJsteel looks down at it and puts the roll of money on the table next to him.
JJSTEEL
Dude what was up with everybody last night? Jax shows up and tries to fight Ashley, BST tries to rape Ashley. I’m going to go out on a limb and say Ashley didn’t enjoy herself last night.
JBEALL
I don’t think the fight bothered her, now the rape on the other hand. That was a fucking crazy experience.
JJSTEEL
So what do you think is going to happen to BST?
JBEALL
I don’t know what Ashley is gonna do, she doesn’t seem to distraught about the whole situation. She has a swollen lip, but other then that…..
JJSTEEL
At least he wasn’t able to get inside her.
JJ shivers is disgust. Jbeall laughs as he is in deep thought about the situation.
JBEALL
lets role.
JJSTEEL
im not finished with my tasty beverage.
Jbeall looks at JJ with shock.
JBEALL
Drink it in the damn car.
JJsteel gets out of the chair and walks behind Jbeall sipping from his extremely large cup.

Ashley rubs the back of her head where she was punched and pull her bottom lip down to see how bad the cut is. The cut is noticeable, but there’s nothing she can do about it. She walks down stairs to get something to eat and runs into her father and mother.
MOTHER
Where were you at until two in the morning.
ASHLEY
I was out with Jeremy, he had a little get together over at his grand parents house.
FATHER
You know like that boy he seems very calm and down to earth.
Ashley’s fathers stairs at her face from across the room, he looks concerned and frustrated.
FATHER
What happen to your lip?
Ashley looks at him as if she’s pondering for a reason.
ASHLEY
You saw me fall at the football game when we were stunting.
FATHER
I didn’t see that.
MOTHER
Oh, Brian cheerleaders get banged from time to time.
FATHER
They get what? what did you say?
MOTHER
Your over reacting… Lets go we’re going to be late.
ASHLEY
We get bruises all the time daddy… Bye… Yall have fun.
The father and mother are walking down the hall way.
FATHER
Did you say they get banged.
The mother laughs and slaps the dad on the shoulder.
MOTHER
I said they get banged up.
FATHER
That’s not what you said.
Ashley stands at the opposite end of the room. She shakes her head and grins. Ashley walks into her room and picks up the phone and calls Jbeall.
INT. -- JBEALL’S CAR -- MORNING
Jbeall pauses to wait for another ring then answers.
JBEALL

ASHLEY (V.O.)
Hey babe, you want to come over and hang out, my parents left for the day.
JBEALL
Yeah, I have JJSteel with me.
ASHLEY (V.O.)
That’s fine, you can bring him if you want.
Jbeall looks over at JJsteel in the passenger side seat. JJsteel is sitting with a school book in his lap snorting a line of coke. Jbeall looks at the coke and runs his finger over the residue then rubs his finger on his gums.
JJSTEEL
Whoa, that’s some good shit.
JBEALL
Don’t bring that shit in Ash’s house.
JJsteel starts wiping his nose. he looks coked out of his mind.
JJSTEEL
Dude lets talk about love.
Jbeall laughs and looks at JJsteel.
JBEALL
What?
JJSTEEL
Yea, I want to talk about love.
They come to an intersection where a car is to the left of them.
JJSTEEL
Dude, dude.
JBEALL

JJSTEEL
That’s the old bitch that lives next to Jess, you know the one that gives me a hard time.
JJSTEEL
JJsteel have to ever tried talking to her or maybe asking her if some how, you might have offended her.
JJsteel looks at Jeremy with a calm responsible look on his face.
JJSTEEL
You always bring the best in me out Jbeall, pull up next to her.
Jbeall pulls down the driver side window to driver side window. The elderly women has her little puddle in her lap. JJsteel leans over Jeremy and engages.
JJSTEEL
Hey Mrs. Plumb, I just wanted to say… YOU’RE A FUCKING OLD PIECE OF SHIT AND I HOPE YOU DIE YOU KUNT!!!!!!!!
Mrs. Plumb spits at JJsteel from her car window.
MRS. PLUMB
Fucking nigger.
Jbeall pulls his arm in the window so it wont get spit on and floors his car. JJsteel looks in the passenger visor mirror and repetitively wipes his nose. Jbeall looks and points at JJsteel.
JBEALL
You know that’s not what I meant.
JJsteel turns around and looks through the back car window. Mrs. Plumb is pulling away from the intersection holding her arm out the window flipping Jbeall and JJsteel off. Jbeall runs his hand over his face.
JBEALL
God damn boy.
Jbeall starts to laugh uncontrollably asa he is joined by JJsteel.

JJsteel walks in behind JBeall. Ashley is still standing at the door and JJsteel tires to get a kiss from Ashley as well. Ashley pushes JJsteel’s his face.

ASHLEY

JJsteel walks out of the room.
JJSTEEL
I’ll put it back when I’m finished.
Ashley looks at Jeremy.
ASHLEY
So what’s up with you Jax?
JBEALL
Where did that come from?
ASHLEY
It came from my conscience.
JBEALL
I have no idea.
ASHLEY
Well, you say she treats you like trash but, you have been guilty of going back to her time after time.
JBEALL
I’m not with her now am I.
ASHLEY
That’s what you said last time.
JBEALL
Jax and I have a lot of history that I’m not sure what to do with.
ASHLEY
A lot of bull shit, if you ask me.
JBEALL
She’s never done anything extreme that’s able to make me have a clear conscience to leave her. Plus I guess deep down I do care about her.
ASHLEY
So we’re not stable.
JBEALL
I’m over here. I’m with you right now and not her.
Jbeall looks around in frustration.
JBEALL
What do you want me to say.... I work for her dad, I’m pretty close to her whole family and you expect me to push all of that aside. I’m trying baby but, shit it takes time. I didn’t come over here to argue.
ASHLEY
Well I want an answer.
JJBEALL
I’m finished with this, I have stuff to do today, argueing with you is not one of them.
ASHLEY
Well leave. If your not going to answer me then leave.
Jbeall walks out of the room frustrated. Ashley falls back on her bed and cuddles a pillow for security. Jbeall is walking to the back door when he passes the living room andfinds JJsteel sitting on a large pillow sex book laid out and the video tape he found playing. JJsteel is practicing the sex moves he’s learning on the pillow. He is leaned over talking dirty to the pillow.
JJSTEEL
You like that? uuummmm. I want to fuck you doggy style, I want to eat that ass out for hours.
JBEALL
Hey Pat O’brian what are you doing.
Jbeall looks as if he cant take anymore of Jacobs bizarre behavior.
JJSTEEL
Whats up dude.
JBEALL
When your finished talking dirty to Mrs. Pillow, I’m ready to go.
JJSTEEL
Nope I’m staying until I get passed chapter 11.
Jbeall walks up to JJsteel and grabs him by the hair.
JBEALL

TEACHER
I’ll send them. Guys get going.
Jbeall and JJsteel get out of their desks and make their way outside, they climb the big stair case by the breeze way. Coach Strong is waiting at the top.
STRONG
Gentlemen we have a situation at hand in the principles office. Two detectives are here investigating a rape that occurred at a party Friday night after the game. Apparently some parent heard their kid talking about it on the phone and called it in. The officers don’t know anything except that it might be BST.
He wipes the sweat from his brow.
COACH STRONG
Guys I… We as a team do not need this right now. I don’t care what the hell yall do on your free time as long as it doesn’t come back to make my athletic program look bad. This looks bad. We don’t need a rape case pending on one of our players during the play offs. These referee’s are already coming from Dallas so we don’t need anymore prejudice and malice form them. There is already is gonna be enough. Just shut your mouth and lets wait until the play offs are over…. Please
INT. -- PRINCIPLES OFFICE -- AFTERNOON
Coach Strong, JJsteel, and Jeremy walk into the Principles office. The Principle, two detectives, and BST are sitting around a table.
PRINCIPLE
Good morning gentlemen, have a seat.
Jbeall and JJsteel take a seat at the opposite side of the table. Coach Strong walks up and stands between both of them and puts his hands on each of their shoulders.
PRINCIPLE
The reason I called you in here is because of a rumor of a alleged rape at a party after last Fridays game.
DETECTIVE 1
We received a call from a parent that over heard her son talking about incident involving two unknown people.
DETECTIVE 2
The rapist and the victim.
DETECTIVE 1
The mother might have heard the name Ashley in the conversation. Ring any bells?
STRONG
So yall don’t know anything else besides a rumor, that a possible rape took place, and yall come and pull my players out their class to harass them.
BST
If we’re talking about the Ashley that was at the party, she was all over everybody walking around with her top off trying to get attention.
STRONG
Really, that sounds like alot of girls that are being raised today.
Jbeall grabs the arms of the chair he’s sitting in and squeezes them out of anger. Strong notices his behavior and grabs Jbeall’s shoulder firmly.
DETECTIVE1
So you guys aren’t going to say anything?
JJSTEEL
We didn’t see anything like that.
JBEALL
The house was locked up so nobody could go inside.
DETECTIVE 2
So everybody was outside the entire time.
Jbeall looks emotional and JJsteel stares down at the table.
JBEALL
Yeah everybody.
DETECTIVE 1
Well the accusation was told to us. The witness said that the rape took place inside a bathroom.
STRONG
Well there probably can’t be much said about the credibility behind these acusations.
PRINCIPLE
Sounds to me that some ones mother has a problem with spreading gossip around, if you ask me.
Detective 2 observes Jbeall and JJsteel’s stressful body movements and facial expressions.
DETECTIVE 2
We’ll be in touch.
Detective 2 stairs at Jeremy and JJsteel out of curiosity.
PRINCIPLE
You guys are more then welcome to go back to class.
STRONG
If you don’t mind, I would like to let my boys go back to my office and relax for the rest of the day until it’s time for practice.
PRINCIPLE
I don’t mind at all, anything for that state championship coach.
STRONG
You guys go take a load off.
Jbeall and JJsteel walk out of the office and BST is standing with the two detectives shaking their hands and laughing.
BST
I’m telling you, you get these east Texas girls drunk and they’ll do anything to get attention.
The Detectives laugh and walk away.
BST
You officers take care.
Jbeall and JJsteel walk out of the building and across the cat walk on their way to the back parking lot. The school bell rings and the classes let out for lunch. Students are running to the cafeteria. Jbeall and JJsteel walk over a big hill over looking the student parking lot. They both stop and observe Ashley across the parking lot talking to another guy, Ashley keeps looking back at Jbeall to see if he’s looking.
JJSTEEL
Well that’s obvious, do you think she could try any harder to piss you off.
JBEALL
Yeah, she could have his dick in her mouth.
JJSTEEL
What are you trying to do.
Jbeall stands there with a facial expression of the image of his dick in her mouth.
JJSTEEL
Stop it, your getting that crazy Jbeall look in your eye.
Jax walks up behind Jbeall and grabs his ass.
JBEALL
Hey.
JAX
What are you doing after the game Friday?
JBEALL
That depends on if we win are lose. If we when I’m gonna throw another party. If we loose I’m gonna throw a party probably smaller though.
JAX
It would mean a lot to me and my parents if you stopped by sometime this weekend and hung out.
JEREMY
I’ll think about it.
JAX
It looks liavidfcp@sohoeditorsny.comke your not the only one Ashley’s after.
Ashley see’s Jax and Jbeall talking then gets upset. She walks away glaring at the two.
EXT. -- INDIAN PRACTICE FIELD -- AFTERNOON
The team is back at practice. Jbeall is out on the practice field being taught a new offence by Strong. Jbeall is lost in space while Strong tries to teach him a new play.
STRONG
Jbeall are you listening? Highland Parks defense is the most complicated defense you will ever go up against, so pay attention. When we run just our basic 48 toss, you are going to have to block down on the end. Their end plays an outside tackle, your not going to worry about hook blocking him, I’m going to need you to crack down on his ear hold every time. If we can eliminate their end then we can worry about their all state linebacker.
JJsteel, Brian, BST, and a few upperclassmen are in a straight line on their knees talking to one another. A goofy looking red neck, Josh, pulls out from his helmet the most terrible picture of his girlfriend and starts bragging about how their getting engaged. BST over hears the conversation and joins in.
JOSH
Yeah we are going to get married.
BST
Did I hear you say you are going to ask this girl to marry you.
JOSH
Yeah, I’m going to ask her in the spring.
BST takes the picture away from him, looks at it then stares him right in the eye’s.
BST
This is the ugliest picture I have ever seen.
BRIAN
BST… Stop
BST
Your gonna marry this pig face bitch.
JOSH
Shut your mouth, you disrespectful son of a bitch.
BST
I have something to confess, I fucked the shit out of her just a few weeks ago.
BST makes several hip thrusting motions while he screams like a pig. Josh grabs the picture back and walks away angry.
BRIAN
You are the biggest ass whole I know.
BST
Come one what is that white trash hill billy is gonna do?
The next thing you know a helmet is slammed against BST’s head. BST is lying on the ground with his ass in the air completely knocked out. Josh is standing over him with the helmet in hand breathing very hard. Coach Strong observes everything from across the field.
STRONG
Its about time you got what you had coming to you. If I had any money in my pockets I would pay him to hit that boy a few more times.
As the team is jogging up the hill to go to the field house Quintilly runs up besides JJSteel and Jbeall.
QUINTILLY
I need yall to hook me up with some of that white girl.
Jbeall looks lost and frustrated.
JBEALL

JJSteal starts laughing.
JBEALL

Jbeall and JJSteel are getting dressed in the locker room when Quintilly walks up.
QUINTILLY

JJsteel hands Quintilly a glass vile of cocaine. Quintilly how much bread you need. Jbeall puts on his shirt, then looks at JJsteel.
JJSTEEL

QUINTILLY

Quintilly shakes JJsteel’s and Jbeall’s hand and walks away.

The officer looks over Quintilly’s truck.
OFFICER
This is a very nice truck. How did a black kid like you afford it.
QUINTILLY

The officer pats Quintilly down and reaches into his pocket pulling out the vile of cocaine.
