MY FIRST TIME BY: AMY GILLESPIE JAN. 10, 2000 AUG. 4, 2000 FADE TO: INT. BRITNEY'S BEDROOM - DAY My Sharona plays in the background. BRITNEY Shit! (Winces) Shoot! We see BRITNEY GILLESPIE grab her bleeding knee, grab a tissue and sloppily soak up the blood on her knee, then throw the tissue away. She then gathers all her bags- a total of 6- and staggers to her bed and takes the portable radio playing My Sharona, and staggers to the door. CLOSE SHOT- BRITNEY'S BACK IN HER ROOM- ZOOM OUT- BRITNEY'S BACK IN CHURCH PARKING LOT EXT. CHURCH PARKING LOT - DAY We see BRITNEY walk up to SHELLY. BRITNEY Hey Shelly. SHELLY You have more bags than I do. How is that possible?! What do you have in those things? BRITNEY Crap I'm not going to need. SHELLY Makes sense, me too. BRITNEY I'm gonna be good this week so stop all the profanity coming out of my mouth with your fist. SHELLY Ok. BRITNEY I'm gonna stay pure. SHELLY Good, Sister Mary Gillespie. BRITNEY Shut up. I'm not Catholic. SHELLY I know. BRITNEY I thought you where going to meet us at the Econo Lodge? SHELLY I was. I have been riding in that car for 10 straight hours just so I can come here and travel that same 10 hours to get back to the same place. BRITNEY Fun. SHELLY Yeah. Dad thought it would be a good idea. (Looks around) Now I'm early. We see a red van pulls into the parking lot. SHELLY Sel! BRITNEY Selena!! Selena Melton! We see the van park. SELENA MELTON jumps out. SELENA Hey! We see SHELLY, BRITNEY run over to SELENA and hug her. BRITNEY Hey, 'boro bitch! SELENA Hey! M-Fuge!!! BRITNEY Yes! SELENA Finally! SHELLY Hey, Sel! SELENA Shelly-Belly... How's it going? SHELLY Good. You? SELENA I'm all right. Marti's coming at 5:20. SHELLY Cool. We see MANDA, in the background of SHELLY, BRITNEY, and SELENA. She waves. BRITNEY Is that Manda? MANDA Hey! BRITNEY Oh! We see them run over to MANDA and hug her. SELENA I thought you weren't coming? MANDA I'm not! I just came to say goodbye. SHELLY Oh! Sweet girl! We see them all share another hug. FADE TO: INT. VAN - LATE DAY We see a large sized van filled with 14-15 year old teenagers and a middle-aged driver. PRESTON Britney, I still love you. BRITNEY laughs. BRITNEY What? PRESTON I love you! BRITNEY Sure you do! PRESTON I do! Why would I say it loud enough so everyone can hear it if I didn't? BRITNEY Cause you're whack! PRESTON You're hopeless. BRITNEY Sure I am. SHELLY What are you two fighting about? BRITNEY I don't know! Preston started it. We see everyone in the van like this: DRIVER: RICKY - SHOTGUN: SELENA MELTON - 1ST ROW: BRITNEY GILLESPIE, PRESTON, CHRIS - 2ND ROW: SHELLY, EDDIE, ARCHIE - 3RD ROW: MARTI, NATHAN, BERT BRITNEY writes in a journal. PRESTON looks over her shoulder to see what she is writing. BRITNEY None of your business, okay!! Leave me alone!! PRESTON backs off. We see a series of shots of people in the van as BRITNEY talks. BRITNEY V/O Hey. Oh my goodness. This may be the worst week of my life the way things are going. Preston just had to come and the first words out of his mouth had to be "I love you." We had been going out since Christmas and we broke up last week. This boy is real cool! Shelly and Eddie broke up last month. They don't hate each other like me and Preston but it's pretty close. You just gotta catch them in a bad mood! Preston needs to go to sleep or something. I swear- it seems like the perfect love/hate relationship but no. I swear if he tries a thing he's dead! The dog's best friend over there is Chris. Drooling is, as you can see, not too appealing but he can be a sweetheart when he wants to be. Then, the crazy maniac next to Eddie is Sonny. Getting his groove on to- Blondie's new hit! I love Blondie but I don't know what's so hilarious about that! SONNY Ooh... Wee!!! Call me on the line, you can call me, any, anytime. Call Me! BRITNEY V/O cntd. Now I get it. But still. The one near the window in the back is Bert- the quiet but lovable one! Not exactly boyfriend material but best boy bud- any day!! Nathan is next to Bert. Nathan's really a doll! Well, that's Marti. I don't know why she's looking so depressed- on our way to M-Fuge! But, you can never know. Marti is the sweetest of the whole group! Selena is riding shotgun. A silent one but she's very unique and interesting. A big bad actress- maybe a Natalie Wood- her fave actress- in the making- I swear! Then there's Ricky. Preston's step-dad and a terrible driver! Kinda. I don't exactly want to say that. Let's just wait and see how bad this gets. Well, if he comes close to killing us more than twice let's put that name on him! I'm wasting good talking time but we're pretty much sick of each other already! Talk later. PRESTON Hey, Ricky, how much longer? RICKY A long time. (Picks up the CB radio) Rick, are we there yet? CUT TO: INT. RICK's VAN - LATE DAY RICK Ricky, are we getting impatient? RICKY over CB No. RICK 5 more hours. CUT TO: INT. RICKY's VAN- - LATE DAY RICKY 5 mo... PRESTON I can hear! BRITNEY I'm going to sleep! That means laying on you to get comfortable!! If you take that personally- just take a look at Eddie! PRESTON I get it! BRITNEY Thank you. She situates herself then leans on PRESTON's shoulder. Soon BRITNEY, PRESTON fall asleep. SONNY Hey Britney... EDDIE She's asleep, you insensitive... SONNY No need for expletives! SHELLY pokes her head up suddenly. SHELLY No need for.... Expletives? SONNY Repeat! SHELLY Who said you could start saying that? SONNY The First Amendment. SHELLY What are you doin'? All historical! SONNY She can't be sleeping in that position. We see the back of BRITNEY and PRESTON's heads. EDDIE She's asleep. FADE TO: INT. RICKY's VAN - LATE DAY A few hours later. Everyone is awake now and involved in a game of Truth or Dare while stuck in a traffic jam. BRITNEY Do we have to play truth or dare? SELENA Nah- how about... Car games!! SHELLY That'd be so much better. (Looks over at SONNY) Should I do it now? SONNY Now or never! SHELLY Britney! One time. BRITNEY Once- that's it! SHELLY Truth or Dare? BRITNEY Uh.... dare. SHELLY Kiss Preston, I want to see if... BRITNEY No! PRESTON See if what? SHELLY If its all still there... more than just comfortable sleep! BRITNEY Oh, suck it!! If I kiss Preston, you gotta kiss Eddie! SHELLY Big deal. She leans onto EDDIE and kisses him. BRITNEY Shoot, girl! PRESTON Don't make it an issue! BRITNEY Fine! We see BRITNEY kiss PRESTON. When the kiss is over BRITNEY looks up at SHELLY and smiles like she knows she's done the right thing, PRESTON looks at BRITNEY lovingly, and knows that the kiss was real. SELENA Car games? MARTI Yeah! SELENA picks up the CB. SELENA Rick, I think it's time for car games. RICK Ok. Which one? SELENA I don't know. Bea you got any suggestions? BEA The Celebrity Name Game? SELENA Okay- we'll start. SONNY John Travolta. SELENA Yeah, Sonny!! John Travolta! RICK Tim Curry. BEA Cheryl Ladd. BRITNEY Leif Garrett!! SELENA Are you still stuck on him? BRITNEY Of course!! He's so sexy! SELENA He's so chubby! BRITNEY I like chubby guys thank you very much! Say it anyway. SELENA Since when. BRITNEY Since I saw Leif. Say it! SELENA Fine! Leif Garrett. RICK God. BEA You can't say God. He doesn't have a last name! RICK Fine. Great God Almighty. BEA You can't say that either. RICK Isn't God famous. BEA Yes. RICK Okay- now A! BEA All right. I don't want you to get into those "Why?" discussions again. Andy Gibb. SELENA Greg Brady. RICK Bette Midler. BEA Mac Davis SELENA Donny Osmond. RICK Olivia Newton John. BEA Is that an N or a J? RICK J. BEA Ok- Jane Fonda. Rick, Bea, and Selena continue to name celebs as we: FADE TO: EXT. AERIAL: VAN STUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC - LATE DAY CUT TO: INT. VAN - LATER DAY We hear You Make My Dreams come on the radio. SHELLY This is my song! BRITNEY Every song is your song! SHELLY Shut up... We hear YOU MAKE MY DREAMS as we see a series of shots of other cars stuck in the traffic jam. ONE: We see a red car with a broke windshield, a yelling male in the driver's seat, a crying female in the passenger seat, and a toddler in the back seat. TWO: We see a grey sedan with a grandfather figure in the driver's seat, a grandmother figure in the passenger seat, and two teenage grandchildren, and a 10 year old grandchild in the back seat. THREE: A large bus full of kids. They hold a sign that is unreadable up against the tinted glass. MARTI What's that say?? EDDIE What? The sign? SHELLY Aww.. They're trying to communicate. Maybe they're going to M-Fuge too. BRITNEY I wish I could read the sign. SHELLY Well, they shoulda known better- everyone knows you can't see through tinted glass! SONNY Shut up, Shelly! You're an idiot! SHELLY No I'm not!! But for real- you can't see through it... SONNY Then how'd we know they were holding up a sign to begin with??? SHELLY Well... you can't... SONNY Shut up- you're wrong! BRITNEY Does anyone have an 8-track player? CHRIS Nope- dont' you have yours? BRITNEY Nope- left it at home. CHRIS Oh. Damn! SHELLY Britney... and Preston- you two are smart! Can you see trough tinted windows? PRESTON Yes! Of course you can! EDDIE Go to sleep, it's good for you. MARTI Nice, if somebody could!! Turn the radio down! SELENA Sorry, Marti! She turns the radio down. MARTI Thanks, Sel. BRITNEY How much longer? SELENA Here. She picks up the CB and hands it to BRITNEY. BRITNEY Hey, Rick, are you going to get us all lost, kill us all, or get us there on time? RICK over CB Most likely get us all lost. BRITNEY How much longer? RICK With this traffic we'll probably get there about three hours off schedule. BRITNEY Okay, thanks for the bad news! RICK My pleasure. Over and out! BRITNEY Ok. She puts the CB down and rummages through her bag and pulls out the same journal as PRESTON leans over to see what she's writing. BRITNEY V/O I just kissed Preston! What's going on? This is not happening the way I wanted it to! That is not too good! I mean it's almost boring!! He's a pretty good kisser though. I gotta get off of that! He sucks! I hate him!! What am I talking about? I don't hate anybody. Especially people who can kiss like that!! If I fall for this kid.... I mean there wasn't that much pressure. A very soft kiss... no tongue! Ohh... I might be! Again? I can't do it again! :) TL! BRITNEY turns to PRESTON as she closes her journal and realizes he's read the whole thing. BRITNEY Oh my gosh, you're dead! Okay? PRESTON puts his arm around her. PRESTON Go to sleep. It's good for you! BRITNEY lays on his shoulder. Soon they both fall asleep again. CUT TO: INT. VAN - LATE DAY Hours later still stuck in the traffic jam. Everyone is awake and they all look a little too bored. SELENA All of ya'll seen Little Darlings? MARTI Unfortunately. PRESTON Shut up... It was a good movie. BRITNEY Only cause Tatum O'Neal and Kristy McNichol were in it. SELENA Excuse me! PRESTON Sorry. SELENA I liked the bet bit of it. You girls up to it? SHELLY Up to what? Losing my virginity at a church camp? SELENA Oh. I didn't think of it that way. Ok- then how about just going out with- or kissing some guy. SHELLY The kissing part I'd do. MARTI Yeah- I would too. BRITNEY Sure. Slutty lips. My favorite thing in the world! SELENA I'm serious. I'll take a pool. Britney versus Marti versus Shelly. By the end of this week you have to meet someone new and kiss them. You have to spill about it too. Fellas up to the bet? NATHAN Ok. BERT I'm in. CHRIS Me too. PRESTON Yeah. EDDIE I will. SELENA Ok- settled. SHELLY Sel, why aren't you in this thing? SELENA You want me to explain the whole thing? All right... I will. I hate men! She starts singing I Hate Men from Kiss Me, Kate. I'd put the lyrics if I knew them... SELENA picks up the CB. SELENA How much longer, Rick? RICK I don't have a clue right now. SELENA Okay. Over and out.

NATHAN I have not! SHELLY Oh, what is so wrong with what happened with me and Eddie, huh? NATHAN What makes you think that is bothering me? SHELLY That is the only thing that would be. BRITNEY wakes up to NATHAN and SHELLY argueing: BRITNEY Shut up! Solve this later- I'm trying to sleep! NATHAN, SHELLY Sorry. SHELLY You know it is. NATHAN It's not. MARTI Pick it up when we get there! BRITNEY sits up. CUT TO: INT. VAN - MINUTES LATER Outside the window we see a Mercedes-Benz dearship. SONNY Oh my gosh Shelly, It's... SHELLY Mercedes... uh huh!

BRITNEY gets her camera out of her bag. BRITNEY Here, Shelly, do it before we pass and you miss the whole wonderful thing. SHELLY takes the camera, leans across EDDIE and SONNY and takes the picture. SONNY Of course it won't come out because its tinted... SHELLY No! Stop I gotta get out and take another one! BRITNEY No, sorry, babe, you aren't wasting my film! EDDIE Besides you CAN see through tinted stuff. SHELLY No you can't! EDDIE Then how did you see the Mercedes? SHELLY Shut up, you know what I mean! SONNY You are such a ditz, Shelly. SHELLY I am not a ditz! PRESTON, BRITNEY, CHRIS, SELENA turn around and laugh at SHELLY. PRESTON Notice how everyone in the van heard that. BRITNEY Really? PRESTON Yeah.

It's just not the same kind of love. PRESTON Yeah. Do you want to win that bet? BRITNEY Sure. SELENA It has to be somebody new and you can't start till we've been there at least 5 minutes! PRESTON Who cares? We see PRESTON pull BRITNEY to him and kiss her. Everyone in the van except NATHAN notices and turns to them. We see RICKY looks in the mirror and see them. NATHAN Did anybody bring their skates? SHELLY Shh... NATHAN What? He looks up and notices BRITNEY and PRESTON. MARTI to SHELLY Get the camera... SHELLY reaches down to Britney's bag when- The kiss suddenly breaks. There is a moment of silence. BRITNEY and PRESTON look at each other but neither of them know what to think of what just happened. BRITNEY I did! PRESTON What? BRITNEY Nate, I brought my skates. NATHAN Oh. Right on, gurl! SHELLY Me too. MARTI So did I. NATHAN That's awesome.

BRITNEY What's the deal with Kristy McNichol? PRESTON Do you really want me to get into this? He pulls out an 8X10 autographed pic of Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal.

I've got my own prize! PRESTON Not the Leif autograph! Britney!! BRITNEY Pulls out an 8X10 autographed pic of Leif Garrett. BRITNEY This is what I live for! She kisses the picture. PRESTON I could do that. He fluffs his hair, crosses his arms across his chest, unbuttons his shirt, pushes his stomach out, and pouts. BRITNEY You are dead, ass hole! MARTI BRITNEY!!! SHELLY slaps BRITNEY. BRITNEY Thank you. SHELLY No problem. BRITNEY I don't get this... (Pokes PRESTON's stomach in) Why does everybody think Leif is chubby? PRESTON It's cuz he is!

Get your hands off of me! She laughs and hits PRESTON in the head and tries to pulls his arms off of her. PRESTON Ok, I'll stop. BRITNEY Thank you. The both laugh some more. BRITNEY Now you're gonna want me to fall asleep all over you again. It's not gonna happen! Believe me, Preston! I don't love you! OK- I said it- (Whispers) I don't fucking love you! CUT TO: EXT. VAN - NIGHT We see the van driving in Bristol, TN before going to the Econo Lodge. CUT TO: INT. VAN - NIGHT We see BRITNEY and SELENA talking: BRITNEY A night here, then onto fun, finally! SELENA You haven't had any fun? BRITNEY I've been arguing with Preston this entire time and I'm already depressed. As soon as I get there I'm taking my medicine. SELENA Is this some prescription drug that your precious Leif is going to overdose on in the next few months as he realizes his teen idol days are slowly disintegrating into the wide open abyss? BRITNEY No, it's herbal stuff. SELENA Goodness girl, are you stuck in the 60s?! It's probably worse than prescription drugs! BRITNEY Saint John's Wort- don't mock the name- it works! I just didn't take any this morning- and now once I take it I'm gonna think I don't need it! That's what's bad about it- it wears off. SELENA Oh, let's just see. CUT TO: EXT.

You love me too much! She gets out of the van. PRESTON And take your infinite amount of bags with you! BRITNEY You can help me, can't you? We see SHELLY knock on the window of the van door. SHELLY HELP! BRITNEY Oh. BRITNEY opens the second part of the door. SHELLY, EDDIE, and SONNY fall out onto the ground because they were pushing on the door and they all start laughing. BRITNEY I'm so sorry! Everybody continues to laugh. PRESTON hands BRITNEY her bags- which she drops in the parking lot as she stretches. SHELLY That's all right. SHELLY stands as SELENA gets out of the front seat. BRITNEY Hey Sel? SELENA Huh? BRITNEY Balcony. SELENA Where? BRITNEY Come on! They laugh and run off. SELENA goes up the stairs onto the balcony.

PRESTON looks hopelessly at BRITNEY then he turns and walks away. We see BRITNEY turn to TIM. TIM Are you okay? I'm sorry if I did anything. BRITNEY It's not you and I'm fine! He's just being a jerk... has since this trip started! Preston. By the way, I'm Britney. TIM I'm Tim. Nice to meet you. BRITNEY You too. Has anyone ever told you that you look like Leif Garrett? TIM Every girl in the whole world has told me that! Ever since he came on scene! BRITNEY I love him to death! I've met him. Big tour last year! TIM You saw his show? BRITNEY Yep.

They all continue to dance as we hear I WILL SURVIVE. The dance floor clears. BRITNEY At first I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side; But then I spent so many nights Thinkin' how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along And so you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me Go on now, go walk out the door Just turn around now 'cause You're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye Did I crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I. I will survive Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive; I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give and I'll survive, I will survive. I will survive! It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart, And I spent oh so many nights Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry But now I hold my head up high And you see me somebody new I'm not that chained up little girl that's still in love with you, And so you feel like droppin' in And just expect me to be free, Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me At first I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side; But then I spent so many nights Thinkin' how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along And so you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me Go on now, go walk out the door Just turn around now 'cause You're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye Did you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die?

I will survive! The crowd breaks into applause as PRESTON walks through the crowd to BRITNEY. BRITNEY Got anything to say? PRESTON Nope. I'd be repeating myself for the millionth time! BRITNEY You're right! I don't want to hear it! PRESTON I... BRITNEY ...don't want to hear it!!! SHELLY What is going on with you two? BRITNEY Nothing. We're cool. We love each other with all our hearts! SHELLY Then why... BRITNEY I hate his attitude right now! I wish he'd die. (Beat) I shouldn't have said that. It was wrong.

MARTI Tim, where are you from? TIM Ohio. BRITNEY Everyone is from Ohio. One I'm not gonna mention! SHELLY He was a jerky 11 year old wasn't he? BRITNEY Excuse you, but he was 14!

SELENA The same problem with Preston. BRITNEY Exactly. They all continue to laugh as: We see the STAFF gets up on stage. The STAFF MEMBERS we're concentrating on are: MIKE, JASON, BEN, TEX, TED, and ANNE. The crowd slowly grows more quiet. TED approached the mike as the rest of the STAFF huddle. TED Don't be quite or anything- we were just gonna watch you and stuff like that. (beat) But seriously. My name is Ted. ALL Hi Ted!! TED Oh! I just feel so welcome now!! Thanks! Well, you've probably figured out that I'm stalling because the rest of the featurted staff doesn't know how to begin! MIKE Ya'll ready? OK- break on three! 1, 2, 3... STAFF Break! TED All right... I'll step aside now. TED steps back and MIKE goes to the mike. MIKE Hello. I'm Mike Davis. I'm going to be the worship leader. I'm your pastor for the next week. ALL Hi Mike!! MIKE Well, this is fellowship and all but I'm gonna start us out with a prayer if you don't mind and then Jason is gonna take over with music. JASON steps to the mike. JASON I'm Jason. ALL Hi Jason! He steps back with the rest of the staff. MIKE Ok. Let's bow our heads and spend a minute with God. We see everyone in the room bow their heads. MIKE Hear us, O God in this time of fellowship. Remind us all to put you first at all times this week. Whether we be in our dorms, at our site to work, or in freetime walking around this city of Nashville. Help us to put aside affairs of the heart and problems that we've been facing. We need your guidance this week as we are led down a new spiritual path. Renew our souls this week. Please God. In your name we will always pray, Amen. We hear a few "Amens" muttered throughout the audience. MIKE The music that you will be hearing this week is spirtiual music... but it is very upbeat and it's not like the gospel music of your parents days. Leading the music will be Jason. You may have seen him before. He has an album out entiltled "Living". We hear MIKE explaining the music as: JASON steps back stage and we see a person off stage hand him a guitar. He sets up a mike and a stool on the opposite side of the stage as MIKE. JASON Pick up a copy if you see it anyway- It'd be very much appreciated! MIKE What song are you gonna start with? JASON "Every Move I Make". It's very upbeat. Everyone stand up... Ok here are the words.. they aren't hard. He starts playing guitar. JASON (singing) Every move I make, I make in You You make me move, Jesus Every breath I take, I breathe in You Every step I take, I take in You You are my way, Jesus. Every breath I take, I breathe in You. (beat) Now you repeat that once more. Ok... that's the first part. Try to sing it with me this time. JASON plays the first part of the song again and he, the staff, and most audience members sing it. JASON Good. Now here's the next part. He starts playing the guitar again. JASON (singing) Waves of mercy, waves of grace Everywhere I look, I see Your face Your love has captured me O, my God, this love how can it be. (beat) Ok? Got it? Now lets sing both parts together... JASON plays the first and second parts of this song and he, the staff, and the audience sing it. JASON Ya'll are great! Very fast learners. Next we repeat the first part only once... then do a "na na na na na na na" then repeat the second part twice. I'll teach you the "nas" when we get there... not hard. But after the second time we go back to "na na na na na na na". Well- it's all pretty repetitious. Let me just sing the whole thing for ya. If you know the song feel free to sing along. ASON plays guitar and along with the featured staff and a few audience members sing the song. JASON Now- let's all go through the whole thing. We hear everyone sing the song perfectly. Then everyone cheers. JASON Ya'll are awesome!! If ya'll are that quick... well I have one more song and we'll just all sing the whole thing until we get it, all right? JASON starts playing guitar to "You Are My God" JASON This a mellow one- that you have probably heard. It's called "You Are My God". ALL As long as the rivers flows, as long as the wind blows My heart belongs to You As long as seasons change, as long as the farmer needs the rain My heart belongs to You Lord I know I don't deserve the grace You give So I will give my heart to You that I might live You are my God, early in the morning will I Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You You are my Lord, early in the morning will I Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You As long as babies cry, as long as flowers die My heart belongs to You As long as winter brings the cold, as long as the summers come and go My heart belongs to You Lord I know I don't deserve the grace You give So I will give my heart to that I might live You are my God, early in the morning will I Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You You are my Lord, early in the morning will I Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You You are my God, early in the morning I will Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You You are my Lord, early in the morning I will Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You TED Ya'll were SO OFF KEY!!!

He supposedly died in the Viet "I love to eat shit" War! But, knowing how completely out in space he was through out the entire decade I firmly doubt it. He was more likely the only guy that died at Woodstock. That is a crazy and evil thing to say about your father but I don't know the man! Everyone says you gotta love your parents more than everyone but God. God said it, didn't he? Well, if you don't know someone and they make up your body and who you are. Something is screwed in that whole mix! You don't know God either but he made up everyone! I just don't understand the whole lot of it! Oh, I love to sing, I play Rugby, and I'm 15. LILY All right.

Then the two numbers with the dash between them- the left one is how many balls and the right one is how many strikes. SELENA Got it. We see the baseball player from the Braves that was batting, hit a homerun. ZACK jumps up out of his seat and cheers. BRITNEY A little obsessed, are you? SHELLY He's obsessed all right. ZACK sits back down. ZACK I love the Braves! I'm gonna play for them one day. BRITNEY Sure you are. And I can say I knew you when, right? ZACK Sure will. SELENA Britney's gonna win an Oscar. ZACK Really? BRITNEY Like I know! But that's my dream. Yep! Just like lil' Tatum O'Neal only not wearing a tux! Ehh... That was so tacky but that's her fault.

ZACK Oh. Who do you want to be in it? BRITNEY It was gonna star me and Pres... but... We see PRESTON and CHRIS enter the room.

PRESTON (Trying to get BRITNEY's attention) Who else is playing? ZACK It's Braves vs. Orioles. PRESTON (Dissapointed because BRITNEY didn't answer) Oh. BRITNEY Can't you tell?

ZACK All right! Bye Brit. BRITNEY How hard is this? Huh?? (Holds the phone away from Shelly, over her head) It's called waiting. A lot of normal people do it! BRITNEY finally hands SHELLY the phone.
