Going to the Mat Page #2

---

Good Evening, Mr. Wyatt.

[Nervous Laugh]

Shoot.

He's Cool.

He Just Don't

Like Surprises.

Great.

So Much For Music Being

My Way In Around Here.

Well, It's Kind Of

Never In.

Uhh!

Out Of My Way, Fly.

Sorry For Living, Nolan.

You Should Be.

Come On, John.

Hey, John Boy.

I'm Shaking Already.

You Know What?

You're Gonna Get Hurt, Kid.

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh.

[Chuckles]

Don't Push It,

Newfield.

Oh, Ok.

You Really Shouldn't

Mess With Those Guys.

They Were

Messing With Me.

So, "Fly," Huh?

What's The Deal

With That?

Well, That's What

Everybody Calls Me.

Not Exactly

A Big Dude, Are You?

I Will Be.

I'm Just Behind 5 To 10 Years.

So, You Walking Home?

No. My Mom's

Driving Me.

She's Afraid I Might

End Up In Colorado.

[Beeping]

And You're Supposed

To Be Blind?

Last Year,

My Band Played

The Christmas Show

At Rockefeller Center.

It Was Awesome.

Kids Were Dancing

And Screaming.

One Girl Even Wanted

My Autograph. No Lie.

Not Here, Man.

Band Guys Are

Like Sea Monkeys,

The Lowest Form Of Life.

At Football Games,

It's A Good Night

If No One Throws

Empty Cups At Our Heads.

Ugh!

Fly, Ball.

Uh, A Bounce Pass

Next Time.

Yeah, Sorry About That.

Forgot You're A Blind Guy.

So What Does A Guy Have

To Do In This Joint

To Be Accepted?

Basically, Be A Jock.

[Chuckles]

Great.

Everyone Thinks, Like,

A Letterman's Jacket Is,

Like, King Of The World

Or Something.

It's Not Gonna

Help Me Much.

Man, What Are You

Talking About?

You're 10 Times

The Basketball Player I Am,

And You Can't Even See

What You're Doing.

I Shouldn't

Have Said That.

Oh, I've Heard Worse.

Think Fast!

Jace:
Wait.

I'm Confused.

I Thought

I Was The Blind Guy?

Ha Ha.

Very Funny,

Chuckles.

Come On.

All Right, Gentlemen,

We're Gonna Work

On The Weave.

We'll Need 3 Groups

At Half-Court.

Whose Birthday Is

January To April?

Left Side.

May To August?

You're In The Middle.

Everybody Else On The Right.

Jace, Phil Rice.

Welcome To Homestead.

Thank You.

You Might Want To Use

This Time To Go

Do Some Homework

Or Something.

No, I Can Do This.

I Used To Play Basketball

All The Time At Home.

Not To Be Rude,

But How?

With

A Bounce-Pass-Only Rule,

And We Need A Beeping

Backboard So I Can Tell

Where The Hoop Is.

Well, I'm Certainly Gonna Look

Into Getting One Of Those,

But For Today

You'll Have To Sit Out.

The Bleachers Are Over Here.

Beep, Beep.

Thank You!

Here We Go, Fellas!

Good, Crisp Passes!

[Whistle Blows]

Boy:
All Right,

Let's Go!

Boy:
Nice.

Coach Rice:
That's It.

Second Boy:

Nice Shot, Johnny.

Coach Rice:
Good Job.

Good Job.

Shoot Like A Ute!

That's It.

Mr. Kamen:
Yeah, Boomer?

20, 30, 40--

No, No, No.

In Espaol,

Por Favor.

Claro.

Trienta, Cuarinta,

Y, Uh...

Cinquana.

[Groans] Yeah, Ok.

That's Right.

That's There

In The Ol' Ballpark.

Ok, Who Wants To Try

60, 70, And 80?

Mr. Kamen:
John?

Uh, Sesenta...

Y, Uh...

Pinta Y

Santa Maria?

Mr. Kamen, Chuckling:

That's Cute.

Yeah, Jace.

Sesenta, Setenta, Y Ochenta.

Now That's What

I'm Talking About.

Sesenta, Setenta, Ochenta.

Muy Bien.

[Beeps]

Jace On Recorder: Sesenta,

Setenta, Y Ochenta.

Yeah.

What Was That?

[Tape Recorder Beeps]

[Beeps]

Jace:

Remember To E-Mail Pete

About That Genius Girl

In Math.

Very Funny, Guys.

Jace:
I Mean, Hello,

Get Out Much?

Talk About Living

On Planet Hillbilly.

Is There A Problem,

Jace?

Somebody Took

My Tape Recorder.

Mr. Kamen:
Well, Whoever

Has Jace's Recorder

Return It To Him, Please?

[Alarm Rings]

Ok, That Is The Fire Bell.

Now, Let's Take

This Seriously.

We Don't Know If It's

A Drill Or The Real Thing.

So, Please,

Evacuate As Quickly

And As Calmly As Possible.

P.A.:
Attention,

Students And Faculty,

This Is A Fire Drill.

All Students And Faculty

Must Evacuate The Premises

At Once.

Make Your Way

To The Nearest Exit.

Attention,

Students And Faculty,

This Is A Fire Drill.

All Students And Faculty

Must Evacuate

The Premises At Once...

Hey!

P.A.:
This Is A Fire Drill.

All Students And Faculty

Must Evacuate

The Premises At Once.

[Rock Music Playing]

[Song Ends]

[Sighs]

[Bell Rings]

Hello, Hello.

You're Early.

All Right,

Let The Learning Begin.

Let's Go.

Let's Go.

Good Afternoon.

Good Afternoon.

Give Me Some.

What's Up?

Give Me Some.

Mary Beth:
Jace,

Are You Listening?

Jace:
Yeah.

'Cause We Only Have

A Few Minutes.

"In The Early Days

Of Colonization,

"Many Europeans Considered

The Native Americans

"To Be Acutely Naive

And Quite Uncivilized.

"In Their Remarkably

Narrow View,

They Equated Those Differences

With Inferiority."

Welcome To My World.

What's That

Supposed To Mean?

Oh, Yeah, Like You

Haven't Noticed.

People Here Have No Idea

How To Deal With Me.

Do You Know How Many Times

Somebody Starts

Talking Really Loud

In My Face?

Hello, I'm Blind,

Not Deaf.

You Want To Know

The Truth?

People Don't Care

That You're Blind.

They're Turned Off

Because They Think

You're A Total Snob.

[Chuckles]

What Are You

Talking About?

All Your

New Yorkers Rule Stuff,

The Hicksville Jokes,

Don't You Think It

Gets Really Annoying?

Jace:
Well, I'm Sorry,

But I Never Wanted

To Be Here

In The First Place.

Well, You Are Here,

Aren't You?

So You Might As Well

Quit Blaming Us

And Lose

The Attitude.

Mr. Wyatt:
Mr. Newfield,

You Plan On Joining Us?

[Band Playing]

[Cheering]

[Song Ends]

Hey, Newfield,

Why Aren't You

Out There Playing

For The Home Team?

Oh, I Was Going To,

But My Seeing Eye Dog

Kept Pawing

Everyone's Helmet Off.

[Laughs]

You're A Funny Guy.

I Don't See You

Laughing.

Oh, Wait!

You're The One Who's

Supposed To Be Making

The Lame Blind Jokes.

You Know, I Would

Love A Real Chance

To Take That Guy Down.

I Really Would.

Maybe You Should

Go Out For A Team.

[Scoffs] Please

Don't Make It Archery.

Oh, Yeah, That's Good.

Look Out!

I Was Thinking

Wrestling.

I'm Sorry. I Think

She Said Wrestling.

Can He Do That?

Please, Don't Encourage Her.

Why Not?

You Could Go Out

For Our Wrestling Team.

My Dad's The Coach.

He And I Went

To The Regionals Last Year

And Saw This Blind Kid

From Denver Who Won

His Weight Division.

[Whistle Blows]

Are You Two

Looking At Me?

Computer:
The Only Special

Consideration Afforded

The Sightless

Challenge Competitor Is

That They And Their Opponents

Begin Each Match

In Full Contact Position,

Although Each Contestant

May Subsequently Move

And Change

The Starting Position.

As Long As There Is

Some Kind Of Contact

Between The 2 Contestants,

The Wrestling Continues.

Once Contact Is Broken,

The Referee Must Blow

The Whistle

And Reestablish Contact...

Mary Beth?

Ok, I'll Do It.

All Other Rules Governing

The National Title...
