President Bates on the phone: That's right Mrs. Flemming, Cascadia is the third largest tennis academy in North America. Our experts will bring your son's game up to the stratesphere. Agussi, Conrad, Macenrow, all the great ones have played our courts. Your son will learn to love Cascadia's high tech training facilities.
Goes to the 'A' group running in the mud.
President Bates again on the phone: Our delicious meals
Goes to someone handing a tray of food to a student.
President Bates: And of course, our friendly staff.
Goes to Coach Gunnerson yelling
Gunnerson: GET YOUR BUTT IN GEAR! MOVE IT MOVE IT!
President Bates: Yes Mrs. Flemming, here at Cascadia will be treated like dull wood
Goes to Squib falling and Adena shoving his face in the mud.
Adena: That's for tripping me earlier.
Squib lifts his head up :I should have stuck with bowling.
Then he gets up and runs off.
Goes to Cody and her father driving into Cascadia.
Dr. Myers: Morning Jud.
Security Guard: Morning Sir.
Cody: What is this? Fort Knocks? The road to perfection begins here. Sounds like a cult.
Shows the sign that says "The road to perfection begins here"
Dr. Myers: Just give it a chance Cody
Cody: Okay stop the car. I'm serious dad!
Dr. Myers stops the car.
Dr. Myers: You okay?
Cody: I can't do this. We have nothing in common.I mean I drink cappucinoes, I thought the William sisters were country singers.
Dr. Myers: That's your mother talking.
Cody: Maybe I should have stayed with her.
Dr. Myers: hey. [Silence] Come on Cody, I thought you Montrealians were into tennis.
Cody: Only the sports freaks.
Dr. Myers: These kids aren't freaks. They've got a lot more going for them than you think.
Cody: Come on, dad. They're gonna hate me.
Dr. MyerS: No, they're not. You know, I've been at this school all year, I think I know them just a little bit better than you do.
Cody: I know them just fine. A bunch of spoiled rich kids afraid to get their hands dirty.
Goes to a tennis court, everyone lined up.
Coach Gunnerson: Megan.
Gunnerson hands Megan a tennis raquet.
Girls: Come on Megan! You can do it!
Megan picks up a tennis ball. Hits the ball and the ball hits the can. The girls cheer.
Megan: That's an eight point lead.
Adena: Megs, I can't believe we're actually ahead of the boys.
Goes to a spaker and then to Cody walking.
Rick on the speaker: Fellow Cascadians. Just a reminder that after this weeks orientation face off you're all invited to trade in your tennis raquets for paddles for the annual lake Memphre canoe race. Which will be held a week from today. Sign up at the sports complex.
Goes back to the tennis court.
Gunnerson: Squib.
Squib grabs a ball and a raquet. He hits the ball but misses the can. The girls cheer.
Megan: Like to see these (don't know the word) defected or something.
Adena: I guess there are no real men anymore.
Goes to the front of Cascadia, and in a cab, which has Sebastien in it. Sebastien steps out.
Goes back to Cody walking around the grounds of Cascadia. Then the group of girls run onto the bridge and goes in front of Cody. Adena stops in front of Cody.
Adena: Are you the new kid?
Cody: Umm...maybe
Adena: Well hurry up, get out of the way.
Cody: But.
Adena: We need all of the help we can get.
Cody: But I don't even...
Cody gets interrupted by Adena pulling her away. Then the guys come across the bridge. They go through the tires.
Megan: Nice job out there.
Cody: Thanks.
Adena: Megs, this is the new girl we heard about, and her name is...
Cody: Cody
Megan: Well welcome aboard Cody. Your help just may well be the year we finally
smoke the boys.
Cody: Really?
Adena: So, what were you trying to tell me back there.
Cody: Oh nothing, nothing at all.
The three girls hug.
Goes to two girls hitting the ball back and forth.
Gunnerson's voice: Macenrow versus Gord.
Goes to Gunnerson.
Coach Gunnerson: Agussi verses Sanfruss.
Goes to the girls and guys sitting on the grass while Coach is talking.
Coach Gunnerson: All interesting match ups in their day. But, all fail in comparrison to this season's orientation face off. I'm proud of you today. And now the score, heading into the final round. For the guys : eighty-three points, and for the girls : eighty-seven. Which brings us to our final challenge, for five points, it's winner takes-all. Are we ready?
Everyone: YEAH!
Gunnerson: [louder] Are we ready!?
Everyone: YEAH!
Just then President Bates with Sebastien walk up.
President Bates: Excuse me! Coach Gunnerson, sorry to crash your party. I just wanted to take a minute, to introduce the newest member of our fine international academy. Everyone I want you to welcome, one of Europe's hottest new prospects, the tennis prince himself, Sebastien Dube.
Squib: ooooooo
Bates claps with some others.
Bates: Sebastien is the latest of our Europeon Contingent and he hails from Labell, France.
Squib: Well tell him he'll need soap. Hey it hails from abell drugstore.
Everyone laughs.
Bates: Watch it Mr. Furlong. Besides Sebastien has opted not to partake in your games, this afternoon.
Sebastien: Looks like I made the right choice.
Squib: What, too good for us?
Gunnerson: Save it for the courts boys.
Sebastien and President Bates walk off.
Goes to the girls and guys on the bridge.
Adena: He's so cute, like James Dean meets
Megan: Prince William meets [sighs] something french.
Adena: Bates never introduces a new student himself. It's like Bates is his personal assistant.
Megan: I'll bet his dad is royalty.
Adena: Or at least an embassador.
Squib walks up to them.
Squib: He's a weasal. A hussy jet setting freak.
Megan: Get lost Squib.
Squib: Hey, hey hey. I just came here to wish you all luck, and may the best man win.
Adena: Or woman.
Squib: Exactly.
Gunnerson: Kay, on your marks, get set,[blows whistle]
The girls and guys run off. Goes to the climbing wall as the girls and guys climb up it. Every girl and guy have climbed up the wall except for Squib and Cody.
Cody sees the wall and turns around.
Adena: That's it, there's no more.
Megan: Just the new girl.
Adena: She'll be next before.
Cody tries to climb up, but can't.
Megan: Come on Cody!! You can do it!!
The rest of the girls start screaming for Cody!
Squib ends up climbing up first, then Cody comes around the side of it.
Cody: Sorry guys, no upper body strength.
Megan: Do you know what you just did?
Cody: it's just a game.
Adena: It is not just a game. Now thanks to you we're stuck in Alkatraz.
Cody: What are you talking about?
Megan: We were playing for our dorms. Girls res. verses Guys. And now thanks to
you the boys nab the castle and us girls get stuck in the swamp.
Cody: Whatever. I don't even live in the dorms.
Adena: Then, what are you doing here?
Megan: I bet I know. Your Dr. Myers daughter aren't you? You live in that deluxe faculty residence.
Adena: That's why you wouldn't tell us your last name. You're not even a player.
Cody: I tried to tell you!
Adena: Apparently not hard enough.
The girls walk off.
Squib: Enjoy your crappy dorms ladies.
As the guys walk off laughing Squib looks back at Cody.
Goes to Cody taking some pictures as Rick walks up to her.
Rick: You're the new girl huh? Cody Myers right? The name's Rick, Rick Geddes. You can call me Rickers. [Cody walks off and Rick follows] Or Rick. So, is it true that you don't play tennis? Because there is a lot this school has to offer...
Cody cuts him off: Rick, but I'm not feeling very sociable right now.
Rick: Well that's good, because I love to talk. We've got a first rate book club, we've got ...a ... a killer lawn bowling association, a weekly D and D, I'm even trying to orcastrate a wolf howl.
Cody: There are no wolves here, Rick.
Rick: It's a work in progress
Cody walks away and Rick follows again.
Cody: No offense, Rick. I'm not that much of a club girl.
Rick: Well that's too bad. I saw you writing earlier. It would have been nice to have an outsiders perspective for the Chronicle.
Cody stops walking, and turns around.
Cody: The Chronicle?
Rick: School newspaper. We're always looking for new talent. Students read it rigurously.
Cody: They do huh?
Rick: It's the best way to make yourself heard. Now, if you would just please excuse me uh, tribia is calling.
Cody typing on her laptop.
Cody: Cody Myers, photo journalist. On exclusive assignment for the Cascadia Chronicle. The mission, to study everything possible about the peculiar species that inhabits Cascadia. The jock or as it's known in latin, "Studentia Jockulus".
Goes to Megan playing tennis and Cody taking some pictures.
Cody: The studentia jockulus commonly identified by ripplying muscles, sweat marks, and bacon ganes. Their diet consists mostly of bland pasta, sprouts, and a retchet substance they call the hyper bar.
Goes to Adena. eating a bar.
Cody: These inhabits are group efforts involving strange coloured liquid, such a fragile beast, is a studentia jockulus. Indeed one of the lightest pleasures is the sound of a sweet sweet song.
Goes to Squib, Rick and the rest of the guys. THey are having a competition to see who gets the big room.
Squib: Oh!! Yeah!! [Jumps off of table and runs around] Okay, next.
Rick: John Macenrow, number of grand slams.
Squib: Seven. [silence.] Aww...
Rick: CORRECT!!
Squib: YES!
Rick: Okay, this is to stay in the game. The match between Billy Jean King and
Bobby Riggs drew more than a record of crowd. What famous city did this take place in?
Sebastien: [looks at Squib] Lastrodome.
Squib: [imitates sebastien] Lastrodome. haha. Sorry Bub, it's Astrodome. You lose. Yes, hmm.
Goes to Cody and her dad in his office. Cody's dad reading her article.
Cody: So what do you think?
Dr. Myers: Hmm...it's very funny it's just umm...
Cody: What?
Dr. Myers: Are you sure you wanna submit this? I mean, it might not go over too well.
Cody: Exactly. Let this go off like a bomb, see if I care. These jocks should see what their lifes look like from the outside. And if they can't laugh at themselves, then what's the point right?
Dr. Myers: Yeah, I don't want to sound like a drag, but umm, you know these kids are under a lot of pressure. Like I said, it might not go over too well.
Cody: We'll soon find out.
Goes to the hallway, and Cody knocks on the door, and Rick answers.
Cody: Umm...this is my first piece. But, it would mean so so much to me if you could print it. [Cody leans against the door and winks at Rick]
Rick: Consider it done.
Cody: Thanks.
Squib walks out of his dorm room.
Squib: My, what a splendid sleep I had in that huge room of mine. That yours?
He picks up Sebastien's raquet.
Squib: What!? What's a matter? This thing special? Wow an IMzthunder 2000! I haven't seen one of these since uh...hmm...the early '90s. Haha.
Sebastien: Give that back.
Squib plays around with it.
Squib: Handles nicely.
Sebastien: I said, give that back.
Squib: For something you probably paid two bucks for at Sally Anne.
Sebastien shoves Squib and takes his raquet.
Sebastien: Never joke about my raquet.
Squib: Take it easy.
Sebastien: You've got something to say to me, then say it.
Squib: Never ......( I don't exactly know what he says here, if anyone knows please tell me lol)
Others: Fight, fight fight...
Gunnerson: SILENCE! One more stunt like this and you're all back in the swamp. I'm sure the girls would be happy to trade places. Is that understood? [louder] Is that understood? Now you all know how we settle things around here.
Squib: He's right. Back court, twelve o'clock.
Sebastien: You're on
Squib: So what's the wager?
Sebastien: I'll take your room.
Squib: I'll take your tennis raquet. Might make good scrap metal.
Sebastien: You're whole room, versus my little raquet. Hardly seems fair.
Squib: There's something you should know about me, I like to take the hard road.
Sebastien: Well then I guess it's a deal.
Shakes hands.
Squib: You're going down.
Goes to Cody taking some pictures, and Megan walks up to her.
Megan: Didn't know you were a photographer.
Cody: I dabble.
Megan: Anything good?
Cody passes her camera to Megan, and she looks at them.
Megan: Cody, these are amazing.
Cody: You think so?
Megan: Totally. Adena's gotta see these. Come on.
Megan hands Cody back her camera, and they head to see Adena.
In their dorm room.
Adena: Haha, look at Squib. What a freak.
Cody: You gotta admit though, nice butt.
Adena: Yeah...
The three girls giggle.
Megan: Some of these belong in an art gallery, or at least the Cascadia Chronicle.
Adena: Hey, I heard you were writing something for that. Is that true?
Some girl: Showdown at south court. Noon! New guy and Squib!
Megan: Lets go...
The three girls head out.
That's it for now, I gotta go. I'll add more later!
At the abandonned court, with Squib and Sebastien. A whole crowd of people watching. Sebastien ends up winning and Squib falls down.
Sebastien: You shoot good.
Sebastien holds out his hand to help him up. Squib high fives him instead.
Squib: Diddo.
Sebastien: So I got the big room huh? They tell me I'm gonna need a roomate. You in?
Squib: I've done nothing but rag on you since you got here.
Sebastien: Something you should know about me, I like to take the hard road, too.
Sebastien holds out his hand again, and Squib takes it. Everyone claps. All of the crowd goes and crowds around them, except for Cody. Cody runs off.
Goes to Cody knocking on the door. Rick answers.
Cody: Stop the presses.
Rick: What are you? From some '40s flick or something? It's all done by computers now.
Cody: You know what I mean. Stop the article. Okay, okay, yes, you were right. My motives weren't exactly in the right place. Maybe I wanted to embarass them, maybe I was even a little jealous. But, what I've seen in these last couple of hours, has changed all that. Oh, please please please let me take back my article before I'm a social puria
Rick: You're too late.
Cody: What?
Rick: Sorry, it's already out.
Cody: How many copies?
Rick: Around a hundred and sixty.
Cody walks away.
Rick: Where are you going? Come back inside, I have tea!
Goes to Cody running all around the place trying to find all of the copies she can.
Cody walking down the steps counting the papers.
Cody: One hundred fifty-seven. One hundred fifty-eight. One hundred fifty-nine. [sighs] Wait...There's one more.
Squib: The studentia Jockulus, commonly identified by rippling muscles
Cody hears Squib's voice and walks towards a door.
Goes to Squib and the rest of the gang sitting in the open.
Squib: Their diet consists mostly of bland pasta, sprouts, and a retchet substance they call the hyper bar.
Goes to Cody walking towards the open, with Squib's muffled voice in the
backgroundCody opens the door.
Squib: Indeed one of the rarest pleasures is the sound of a sweet song. Awesome!
Goes to everyone sitting in the open.
Megan: Funniest article ever. Cody!
Cody narrating: Okay, so my dad was right. There's more to these people than meets the eye. Took me awhile to figure it out, but I got it.
Goes to people hitting the ball on the courts, and Cody taking pictures.
Cody narrating: Life is complicated. Sports are simple, and something about that is...kind of cool.
Goes to Sebastien sneaking away to the gates, to meet his dad.
Dad: Hey. Good to see yeah. How are yah?
Sebastien: Fine.
Dad: Good.
Sebastien: You promised to lay low, just until they get to know me. You don't know how snobby these people are.
Dad: I know, I know, Sebastien. But, I want to give you this.
Sebastien's dad hands Sebastien some money.
Dad: Arnie's Burgers doesn't pay much. But, it should get you through the week.
Sebastien: If I had a cell phone, this would be so much easier.
Dad: I wish we could afford one. Maybe once you make your millions. Huh, huh?
Sebastien: Maybe.
They both laugh.
Sebastien: Thanks dad.
Dad: Hey, anything for my star. (says some french word lol) Go on.
Sebastien walks away and looks back every so often, and his father waves.
Goes to Cody in the bushes watching Sebastien walk away. Starts to smile and it fades out.
