The Little Boy looks confused. As Calvin Nack turns to grab
an orange juice from a barmaid, Jerry smoothly dishes off a
business card to the little boy.
JERRY'S VOICE
Lately, it's gotten worse.
INT. HOSPITAL BEDROOM -- NIGHT
Hockey Player STEVE REMO, 33, is a big man in a small bed.
He is in traction, with concussion. DOCTOR stands nearby,
shoots Jerry a look of concern. Family is nearby.
DOCTOR:
Do you know your name?
STEVE REMO:
I uh... wait. Wait, here it
comes. I have it. My name is
Steve Remo. I play for the
Blackhawks.
(now on a roll)
You are my son. This pretty lady
is my wife. And you are...
Jerry nods encouragingly, presents his best "familiar" face.
STEVE REMO:
(continuing)
My agent!
JERRY:
Yes!
STEVE REMO:
And I gotta play this weekend,
Doc. If I play in 65% of the
games, I make my bonus.
EXT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY -- NIGHT
Remo's 14 year-old SON (JESSE) confronts Jerry outside the
hospital room. He's a hulking kid, a Pop Warner football
player himself. His voice is in the process of changing.

6.
SON:
This is his fourth concussion.
Shouldn't somebody get him to stop?
As he talks, Jerry's cellular phone rings in his bag.
JERRY:
(glib, easy)
Come on -- it'd take a tank to
stop your dad. It would take all
five Super Trooper VR Warriors,
right?
The kid stares at Maguire. It feels as if the kid is peering
into his soul... and all he sees is trash.
SON:
F*** you.
The kid turns and exits in disgust. He leaves Jerry standing
in the hallway. Devastated. Music.
EXT. RENTAL CAR SHUTTLE -- DAY
Jerry Maguire upset in a rental shuttle. Passing through
frame. Music. Phone still ringing.
Jerry sleeps.
JERRY'S VOICE
Two nights later in Miami at our
corporate conference, a
breakthrough. Breakdown?
Breakthrough.
Jerry's eyes open. Breathing strangely. Trembling, he holds
onto the nightstand for grounding.
He gets up, takes a few gulps of air, walks to mini-bar.
Gathers some tiny ice cubes in his hand, smears them across
his face. This feeling is new to him.
JERRY'S VOICE
(continuing)
It was the oddest, most unexpected
thing. I began writing what they
call a Mission Statement for my
company. You know -- a Mission
Statement -- a suggestion for the
future.

7.
INT. MIAMI HOTEL ROOM -- NIGHT
Jerry types, a pot of coffee and tray of room service nearby.
There is a direct line from the deepest part of him to the
words he's typing. His fingers fly. Even his eyes grow
moist.
JERRY'S VOICE
What started out as one page
became twenty-five. Suddenly I was
my father's son. I was
remembering the simple pleasures
of this job, how I ended up here
out of law school, the way a
stadium sounds when one of my
players performs well on the
field... I was remembering even
the words of the late Dicky Fox,
the original sports agent, who
