[ int. Basketball Court – Night ]
[ Members of a female college basketball team, The Apple Fritters of
State University, are in a huddle, including Trish Lancaster. Coach
is in a suit and is one of those conservative looking but outwardly
hyper characters ]
Coach: Now girls, you've all had a terrific year. We have
just three seconds left on the clock and we're down by one. Here's
what we're going to do [ displays clipboard ] Katie, I want you to
take the inside switch as Vicks inbounds to Trish here in the one nine
seven. Daffy duck in orange trail mix. I want Renee to defuse a
prancing pillbox, followed by a trip around a nut farm. Texaco to
Paraguay and then Trish should have her shot. There's a lot riding on
this, but we can do this. Alright, quick huddle, 1, 2, 3.
All: Apple Fritters!
[ team breaks and takes the court ]
Trish: [ yelling ] C'mon ready.
[ cut to Sportscaster and Color Commentator at press table ]
Sportcaster: And the Lady Fritters take the court as they
attempt to cap off what has been a wonderful season for them. How
about that Trish Lancaster? Setting the school all time scoring and
assists records.
Color Commentator: Not only is she a good ball player, but
she's never been convicted of vehicular manslaughter.
[ cut to wide shot of court ]
Sportscaster (V/O): Three seconds on the clock as the Lady
Fritters inbound the ball to Lancaster, she's open, takes the shot and
it's…
[ cut to slow-motion close-up of ball sailing through the air, as the
buzzer goes off ]
[ ball hits rim and bounces up and down a few times, before beginning
to roll around the edge of the rim ]
Sportscaster (V/O): Rolling around the rim! The buzzer went
off, but the shot was up in time, will it drop!?!
[ ball continues rolling around the rim ]
[ slow motion close-up as Coach screams while attempting to jump up
and down. His obvious lack of height compared to his players is
evident ]
[ slow motion close-up of tension on on Trish Lancaster's face ]
Trish: Drop, drop, drop.
[ ball continues to roll around rim ]
[ show family at home sitting on the edge of their couch, transfixed ]
[ show another family similarly transfixed ]
[ show three twenty-somethings operating a meth lab in their living
room similarly transfixed ]
[ cops burst into house, presumably to arrest twenty-somethings, but
become similarly transfixed ]
[ slow motion of Coach again jumping amongst his bench, eager but a
little uneasy about his small stature ]
[ another shot of the ball still rolling around the rim ]
[ shot of Trish as she signs papers pointed out to her by an Agent,
eyes never leaving the rim ]
Agent: You're going to be the new female team sports
superstar. Mia WHO?
[ ball continues to roll in slow motion ]
[ Coach jumps up and down amongst his bench on a pogo stick ]
[ photographers cluster around Trish, now holding a bottle of
Gatorade, as she continues to stare at the rim ]
[ teammate of Trish's stares at rim while an optometrists measures her
eyesight ]
[ ball rolls around rim ]
[ ext. Basketball Stadium ]
[ super: 20 years later ]
[ int. Basketball Court ]
[ show Sportscaster and Commentator, both sporting Rip Van Winkle beards ]
Sportscaster: It's been 20 years but the ball's still rolling.
Color Commentator: We have had to evacuate the building twice
in nuclear bomb scares, but we're back now.
[ show ball rolling around rim ]
[ show Trish, also sporting a Rip Van Winkle beard ]
[ show Coach, cheering with his arms slowly while he lies on a
impromptu hospital bed. Nurses look on, while nearby players all
sport Rip Van Winkle beards ]
Sportscaster (V/O): I'd like to thank Gary of Gary's Fake
Beard Shop for his assistance today.
[ slow-motion close-up of ball as it continues to roll ]
[ from nowhere, a bullet tears into the ball, sending it flying off the rim ]
Sportscaster (V/O): And I think that's, yeah, they're going to
call goaltending. It's goaltending, she made the shot, the Lady
Fritters win!
[ close-up of Trish as she removes her fake beard and mops the sweat
from her forehead with it while walking to her coach's hospital bed ]
Trish: Yes! [ pumps her fist ] I did it coach!
Coach: You've made an old man die happy.
Color Commentator (V/O): That bullet also means we're under
attack from a roving terror cell. Goodnight, and seek cover.
[ everyone scatters as more gunfire rings out ]
[ fade out ]
