EXT. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FIELD - DAY
Various High School SPORTS TEAMS practice. Maggie strides across
the football field, a scowl on her face. A few HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL PLAYERS job past Maggie, doing laps. A boy, KENDALL,
calls out to her affeately as she passes. One of them,
DENNIS, slows his pace to run alongside Maggie.
DENNIS
(playful)
Maggie, dont marry Coach! Marry me.
I love you.
MAGGIE
Youre jail bait, Dennis. Go away.
Run your laps. Go. Go.
Dennis runs on as Maggie tioward her goal: Bob and Ike,
standing together oher side of the field.
ANGLE ON BOB AND IKE
Theyre both standing on the blog sled. Wave after wave of
VARSITY FOOTBALL PLAYERS ram into the sled and drive it across
the field with both Ike and Bob on top of it. Ike is mung on
one of the amon rolls as Bob pushes the KIDS.
BOB
Drive! Drive! From your hips, get low,
get low, get low. !
Ike smiles broadly atop of the sled as he sees Maggie
approag, looking mighty peeved. He nudges Bob and points to
Maggie. Bob lights up at the sight of her.
BOB (td)
Good job, gentlemen... Special teams.
The football players move away from the sled. Bob moves to
Maggie, leaves Ike alone.
BOB (td)
(to Maggie)
Hey, honey!
Bob kisses and embraces Maggie. She doesnt see Ike immediately,
then:
MAGGIE
(indig Ike)
What is he up to now?
BOB
Ike just came by to check out the team.
IKE
And talk about you.
Ike grins and shows Maggie the notes in his pocket.
MAGGIE
Bob -- are you making friends with this
man?
BOB
Im just bragging about how great you
are. Im the luckiest man alive.
Bob grabs Maggie around the waist and smooches her adly.
Maggie scowls at Ike. He nods, all charm.
IKE
Well -- Ive got to get moving -- lot
of work to do today! Ill see you two
love-birds later.
Ike leaves. Bob calls after him.
BOB
See you at the wedding.
IKE
You bet ya, Coach.
Maggie is aghast. She stares at Bob. Ike joins in behind a line
of peppy cheerleaders.
MAGGIE
At the wedding? You invite him? Bob,
dont you realize hes writing another
article about me?
BOB
Sure I do. But the bet defense is a
good offense, right? Youre not going
to let your oppohrow you off
yame.
MAGGIE
You dont uand this guy.
BOB
Let him e to the wedding. Youre
not running, right? Say it. "Im
not..."
MAGGIE
(irritably)
Im not running.
BOB
So if youre not running and Ike Graham
is there to see it, then any article he
writes has got to have a happy ending,
right? All were doing is turning
lemon into lemonade.
MAGGIE
Ive got news for you. No amount of
sugar and water is going to turn like
Graham into something you want to take
on a piic.
Bob gives Maggie a big hug.
BOB
Wheres that homemade sunshine?
Bob blows his whistle, then puts Maggie on the football sled.
BOB (td)
I want you boys to take my princess on
the ride of her life... Hoell em
where you parked your car.
Maggie screams as the boys push her down the football field.
