**Once again we find ourselves at Jakob's home. We join him in the restroom.**
Levi: (running) Dad!! Dad!!!! Look! (opens bathroom door)
Jake: Hey!!!!!! (In an angry tone and with scissors in his right hand)
Levi: (stunned)
Jake: What did I tell you about knocking?
Levi: I'm sorry dad.
Jake: (continuing cutting his hair) Ok ok but don't do it again Levi. What did you want to show me?
Levi: Oh our P.E. coach gave us these forms to join the little league baseball team. Can I play baseball dad?
Jake: Do they have a coach already?
Levi: No they're still looking for one. The coach said that if we knew of someone to tell them to talk to him.
**Jake stops cutting his hair and looks at his beloved son**
Jake: They don't have a coach yet?!
Levi: No but can you pleeeeeeeeese sign the paper!!
Jake: I'll sign it later, just leave on the kitchen counter.
Levi: Alright I'm going to play baseball!! Moooooommmmmm!!! Dad let me play baseball!! (going towards the kitchen)
*** Jake sits down on the toilet with the scissors still in his right hand and ponders on what his son had just said.**
Jake: (thinking) No coach? I've always wanted to be a little league coach. This is the perfect opportunity!
**With that thought in mind Jake stands up and finishes cutting his hair. He cleans up and heads on over to the kitchen.**
Paige: Morning! Do you want anything for breakfast?
Jake: Naah well just give me coffee.
Paige: (pouring Jake a cup)I'm glad you let Levi be on the baseball team!
Jake: Yeah (thinking about coaching)
Paige: (placing the cup in front of him) What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind.
jake: Where's Levi?
Paige: The bus already picked him up. Jakob what's wrong?
Jake: (sipping his coffee quickly) I better go.
Paige: Go where? Jakob?!
Jake: I'll explain later! (kissing Paige on the cheek)
Paige: Wha..you better tell me later!
**Jake heads on over to the car and spots Mario pulling into the driveway**
Mario: Hey what's up?
Jake: I'm going to Levi's school. (looking for the car keys in his pocket)
Mario: Want me to take you?
Jake: You don't have anything right now?
Mario: No just hop in!
**Jake gets into Mario's car**
Mario: So Levi got in trouble or something?
Jake: No, no I'm going to talk to his P.E. coach. I'm going to apply for the little league coach position.
Mario: What?! (taking eyes off road)
Jake: Hey watch the road!
Mario: Are you serious?
Jake: yeah I've thought it over and I've always wanted to be a little league coach so I see this as the perfect opportunity.
Mario: what about the new album? We need to finish that we've taken too much time.
Jake: Don't worry the practices are afterschool so we can work at the studio in the morning and early afternoon.
**They keep chatting and they finally arrive at the school**
Mario: We're here. Man there's no parking space!
**Mario goes around the block several times in hopes that some would leave a vacant parking space. He finally gives up and blocks several blocks away from the school.**
Jake: We couldn't have parked any farther huh?
Mario: Hey it's good excercise!
**They finally get to the school and walk into the main office**
Jake: Hello I'd like to have a word with your P.E. coach
**The school secretary filing her nails looks up and is stunned to see Jake. She quickly stops filing her nails and puffs up her hair more than it already is.**
Secretary: Excuse me?
Jake: I'd like a word with your P.E. coach.
Sec: You can have a word with me if you'd like! (with a "I want you" kind of an expresion)
**Jake and Mario both are stunned but play it cool**
Sec: I'll get him for ya hon. Just have a seat.
** She gets up and looks at Jake and gives him smile. She then quickly walks away**
Mario: That's quite a weird lady .
Jake: I'd say!
**The lady comes back**
Sec: Mr. Reynolds will see you in his office over there (pointing)
Jake: Thanks. Mario can you wait for me here?
Mario: NOOOO! Not with this nut! (he thinks). Yeah sure I'll wait for you here.
**Jake walks over to Mr. reynold's office as quickly as he could while Mario sat in front of the secretary**
Sec: So hon what do you do?
Mario: (kind of nervous) Umm I'm a drummer.
Sec.: Really??!! (amazed) I find drummers very sexy! (Gives him a look while popping her gum)
**Mario lets out a nervous but friendly smile**
Mario: (thinking) How in the world did I end up in this place!
Sec: Wow you have nice curly hair (reaching out towards Mario to touch it)
Mario: (thinking) Oh my God!! She's gonna touch my hair!!
**Then before she could touch his hair a little boy comes into the office. Mario lets out a sigh of relief as he sees the boy come in**
Sec: What did you do again Patrick?
Pat: Nothing the stupid teacher sent me to the principal.
Sec: Well have a seat next to that nice gentleman over there (winking at Mario). I'll be right back. (gets up and walks on over to the principal's office.
Pat: Hey I want to sit in that chair! i always sit in that chair!
Mario: Oh so your a regular huh?
Pat: What the hell do you care! Get your ass out of my chair!
Mario: That's quite a mouth for a little boy like you! (surprised)
Pat: Move or I'll kick your ass!
Mario: You don't have to be rude you know...
**Mario's interrupted by Pat's kick**
Mario: Ahhh!! Why did you do that for?
Pat: Take this!! (starts throwing punches at Mario)
**Mario tries to get the boy off of him as the secretary comes in**
Sec: Patrick no!! ( struggling to take the kid off of Mario)
Pat: That's what you get!! (tugging Mario's hair)
Sec.: STOP THAT!!!
**The principal comes in**
Principal: Patrick! (tries to help the secretary get the kid off Mario)
**After the principal came in they were finally successful at getting the crazed boy off Mario**
Pat :NOOOOOOOOO!!!! (as he's being draged to the principal's room)
Prinicpal: I'm so sorry sir. Our students aren't like that except that Patrick's a special case.
Mario: I should have stayed home (thinking). It's alright (rubbing his head).
Principal: My deepest apologies for this incident Mr.
Mario: Calire
Principal: Mr. Calire
***Jake finally gets out of Mr. Reynold's office and is stunned to see Mario with his shirt tucked out and his hair messed up.***
Jake: Mario what happened?
Principal: We had a little incident woth one of our students here. He attacked Mr. Calire.
Jake: Mario are you ok?
Mario: Yeah I'll be fine
Sec.: We have a school nurse if you want to go...
Mario: No I'll be fine. Jake are you finished?
Jake: yeah lets go.
**Jake and Mario head out of the school and walk towards the car**
Mario: What kind of school did you send Levi to!
jake: Hey I didn't know kids like that go there! So how are you feeling?
Mario: Considering that the secretary was hitting on me ,trying to touch me and then that kid beat me I think I'm doing ok.
Jake: I'm glad your doing ok! (chuckling) So the secretary was hitting on you?
Mario: Can we please change the subject!! (looking for his keys in his pocket) So are you a coach now?
Jake: I sure am! (says it with satisfaction)
**They get in the car and decided to go back to Jake's place. When they arrive they are surprised to find Rami's car parked on the drive way.**
Jake: (walking into the house) Paige I'm home!
Rami: Hey it's about time!
Jake: Hey man (patting him on the back) what are you doing here?
Rami: Well...(sees Mario) Whoa!!! Mario you look like hell!
Mario: (annoyed) I don't want to talk about it!
**Paige comes in**
Paige: Jakob your back...(looks at Mario) Oh my! Mario are you ok?
Mario: Yes I'm fine.
Paige: Mario sit down let get ou a glass of water.
**They all head towards the living room and sit down**
Rami: I just HAVE to hear what happened! (laughing)
Mario: It's not funny!
Paige: Here you go. (giving Mario the glass) Jakob you have to tell me what happened where did you guys go?
Jake: We went to Levi's school so I could talk to his coach about coaching litle league.
Paige: (surprised) So your coaching Levi's team!
Jake: Yeah.
Paige: That's great!! But that doesn't explain what happened to Mario.
Rami: Yes Jakob do tell
Jake: Well I didn't see what happened...
Mario: ok ok I was attacked by a little boy in the school!!
**Dead silence followed quickly by Rami's laughter**
Rami: Your saying (laughing) that a little boy did this to you!
Mario: Hey he caught me off guard!
Jake: Then the secretary started to hit on him.
**By this time Rami was almost rolling on the floor with laughter. Mario continues to give out the details of the incident. There is a temporary fade out as we fast forward time to the first day Jake gets to coach his team**
Jake: Levi are you ready? (putting his cap on)
Levi: Yeah dad let's go!
**They got on the car and headed towards the field. As Jake droved to the field he was both excited and nervous about him coaching. He went over and over what he was going to do and what he was going to do with the kids.Then they finally arrive and is surprised that Mike, Greg, Mario and Rami are sitting on the stands.**
Jake: (closing the door of his car) What are you guys doing here? I think you guys are too old to make the team
Mike: Aww common don't I get a chance?
Greg: We thought we should come here and watch you coach your first team.
Jake: Yeah and make me more nervous.
Mike: That too.
**They begin to chuckle**
Jake: I'll see you guys after practice! (heading towards the gate)
Greg: It's great seeing Jake do what he always wanted to do.
**The team gathers in the middle of the field while the guys are in the stands chatting**
Mario: Yeah...(interrupts himself) Oh no!
Rami: Who's that kid running towards us?
Jake: Patrick come back (running after him)
Mario: I'm getting out of here!
*The kid had spotted Mario from afar and had resentment towards him after that distinct day at the school office. The kid saw the perfect opportunity to take the law into his own hands.**
Greg: (holding Mario) What??! What's wrong?!!
Mario: It's the kid that attacked me!
**The kid quickly jumped on the stands**
Mike: What the hell?!! (as the kid jumped on top of him to get to Mario)
Rami: Get off!!! (pushing the kid off Mike)
**The kid then sprang upon Rami**
Rami: Greg help!!
Greg: What's wrong with you? (prying the kid off Rami)
Mike: It's the kid from hell run for it!
**They tried to leave through one of the gates but the gate was locked. There just had to be an openning somewhere there in front of them through this maze of ugliness and grief. Then Mario saw the sign up ahead sayin' what Mario thought to be that all was good and hoplessness was dead, but it was just an exit sign. They ran towards the gate, they ran until there was nothing was left and they hit the end it's just their nightmare's end.
