The New Kid Beats v3
* Open with an establishing shot of the
field
- Cut to Louisa running toward to dugout, her hand extended behind her, and we see she's holding someones hand. (That person is not yet revealed)
- Luisa is obviously excited
- She catches up with the already assembled team (possibly all gathered around the pitching mound) and introduces Summer to the team, and happens to be carrying a duffle bag.
- "She's supposed to be one of the best players in the county!", saysLuisa.
- Pan over to Summer who is comically juggling baseballs “supposed to be? I AM the best”
- Luisa calls practice “If you're going to show off, do it at bat!, everyone take your positions”
- “Hang on a second guys” Summer rolls up her pant leg revealing the prosthetic, which she exchanges for her flexfoot
- Reaction shot of surprised Brad and Vince
- Summer pulls out an energy drink from her duffel bag and downs it
- Mikey offers her healthy snacks as an alternative, saying energy drinks will just make her crash, she turns it down as she runs to bat “nah, I'm good!”
- Summer goes up to bat, Brad asks out of both conern and admiration “wait you're ok to play with that?”
- Summer cockily responds “watch and learn” she hits a ball out of the park
- Summer laughs and does victory dance, “See? I bet I could win this whole thing by myself”
- Brad points out that no Jr Giant could win by themselves “Calm down Summer, no Junior Giant could win by themselves, it takes teamwork.”
- Luisa calls Summer to take an outfield position to see how she does on defense, Summer eagerly does so
- Vince is up to bat “Let's see how you do superstar!” Vince hits a fly ball which Summer runs after and pulls off some cartoony shenanigans to catch it (ladder, glove on remote plane, using player as stepping stone, knocking out coach as she runs up him, only for him to wake at the end, est)
- Vince approaches her “hey you can't do that”
- Summer goes “what? It doesn't say I can't in the rule book”
- Vince “it's about integrity”
- Mikey is up to bat next, and misses the first two losing confidence
- Summer isn't helpful “Oh come on! My grandma swings better than you!”
- Luisa calls Summer “Hey that's not how we do things, we need to be confident in him, so he can be confident in himself” yells to Mikey “Come on Mikey, I've seen you hit dozens of balls out of the park, show that pitching machine who's boss!”
- Mikey on his third swing hits it well
- Brad who is in the outfield runs for it, as does Summer, they run in to eachother and both fall back, the ball then falls on the ground between them
- They both lean up, Summer goes “what the heck?! I had that!”
- Brad shoots back “I was just trying to cover you!”
- Summer goes “I don't need you to cover me!”
- The group starts assembling around them to see if they're ok and because they see potential conflict
- Vince and Luisa help them up while kind of keeping them a little distance
- Luisa asks “Brad you ran in to Summer's zone, you need her to let her take care of her own area”
- Brad looks down, then back up at Summer “I'm sorry, you're right I should have trusted you”
- Summer looks like she's going to react poorly, but then regains her composure (compelled by what she's learned!) and smiles “Hey, it's ok” and extends her hand which Brad smiles and shakes
- Summer then stumbles and looks like she's about to crash from light headedness
- “Whoa, are you ok?”-Brad
- Mikey then walks up holding healthy snacks “See it's that energy drink garbage, you're crashing!”
- Summer pifts and grabs one “Hush and give me one of those”
- At this point the coach walks over “Hey guys sorry I'm late” (or wakes up if he was knocked out from the Integrity bit) “Hey guys...” he notices they're all kind of huddled “Is everything ok?”
- “Everything's great coach!” -Luisa
- “...so why is nobody practicing?”-Coach
- The team all give eachother dumbfounded looks, laughter, fade to black
