LISA (V.O.)

The A-squad performed...

GYM LIGHTS GO DARK. STUDENTS SCREAM. DRUM CORP. and BRASS

BAND start "ROCK & ROLL PART II" by Gary Glitter.

The SPOTLIGHT RACES around the gym before it hits center

court. The A-squad springs to their feet for an amazing

cheer/dance - strong, sexy, acrobatic, non-traditional.

LISA (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Now, I know it's my duty to give you all

the facts, so I have to say that their

cheer blew like a bulimic after

Christmas dinner. Their blatant

disregard for National High School

Cheerleading Association rules made me

sick. "Basket toss flips and wolf wall

pyramids over two people high are

strictly prohibited." I made a complete

report and sent it in.

JACK'S POV

Outside the gym doors.

LISA (V.O.) (CONT'D)

And finally, the football team was

introduced.

PRINCIPAL SMITH (O.S.)

Transferring from Truman High, the new

star quarter back of our mighty Fightin'

Logs!

THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE!

LISA (V.O.)

That's when Jack and Diane met. Nobody

saw it coming...

CAMERA TURNS, PLAYERS head-butt and high-five CAMERA/Jack as

he starts through the door - looking around gym. SLOW MOTION

FREEZE-FRAME as the SPOTLIGHT HITS CAMERA/Jack.

LISA (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Especially not Jack...

SOUND DISTORTS. It's LOUD and CONFUSING. THROUGH IT, we see

the A-squad running and doing back flips toward CAMERA/Jack.

As the squad nears CAMERA/Jack, SUDDENLY Diane's Ked-clad

foot comes INTO FRAME and SMASHES INTO CAMERA/Jack.

DIP TO BLACK:

LISA (V.O.) (CONT'D)

He fell for her hard.

IRIS OPEN. DIANE hovers over CAMERA/Jack, apologizing,

looking angelic. A-squad surrounds her. Suddenly a frantic

mascot breaks through, tips his log head back - IT'S BRUCE

(from try-outs) - mouthing "NOOOOOO!" He pulls CAMERA/Jack

UP.

ANGLE ON:

Mascot/Bruce as he drags his prize quarterback out of the

gym. Jack and Diane's eyes never separate.

LISA (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Jack was fine - oh man, was he fine. It

was like he was a bar of chocolate and

the whole school was on the rag -

everyone wanted a piece of him...

CLOSE ON:

Diane's mouth.

DIANE:

Jack Bartlett... Jack Bart-lett... Jack

Bar-t-lett.
