Miles Page #3

Synopsis: Miles (newcomer Tim Boardman) is a high school senior who wants nothing more than to graduate, leave his rural town and move to the city to enrol in film school. Unfortunately, Miles' father has squandered his college fund on his mistress. With no cash and staring a dead-end future right in the face, Miles searches desperately for a way out, coming across a volleyball scholarship program that exists between his high school and the well-regarded Loyola University in Chicago. The catch? The only volleyball team that exists at his school is a girls' team.

I'd really love it if you could

come and watch me

play so I could

be considered for a scholarship.

In fact, our first game

is coming up at home.

So if you could make it?

Well this is a first.

Never had someone come

to my door before.

So uh, how did you

get my address?

I'm sorry, I just

wanted to make sure

you got all my messages.

Oh I think I'm all set, miles.

Look, I've got a pretty

busy schedule right now,

but I'll be sure to let you know

if I can make it down

to Pondley, all right?

Thank you so much.

That would be amazing.

Okay, you have

a safe drive back.

Thank you.

Hey Pam?

That was a good session

don't you think?

Oh yeah, I thought it

was really good this week.

I feel like it's helping.

Yeah me too.

Yeah, good.

Yeah.

Um...

This is gonna sound

weird no matter

how I say it.

But seeing as we all

know we're singles here,

I was wondering if you might

like to have dinner sometime?

With me.

Oh.

You don't have to.

Oh no, but would that be

kinda weird because

you're my boss.

Well I'm not

actually your boss

I'm your bosses boss.

Though I do have the power

to fire you on the spot.

Oh do you?

Well that was a bad joke,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You don't have to.

Let me just ask you this.

If we did go out,

would I have to tell Trent?

Trent?

Trent our principle,

Trent Wilson, my boss.

Wilson.

No, you could if you'd like,

but I don't think

it's necessary.

Hmm.

Is that a yes?

Yeah I think it is.

All right, well good,

good, good, good, good, good.

You'll have to fire

me on another day.

You got it.

- Same way.

- Oh.

- You go.

- I'll go first.

Hey, you feeling ready?

Hey.

All right I brought you these.

Got you the number you wanted.

Awesome.

Yeah, looking good, right?

Umm, what are these?

- Those are your bun huggers.

- Um...

You know,

your coochie cutters?

You hadn't noticed the

tight little shorts

the girls were wearing?

You know what, why don't you

just wear your PE shorts.

Yeah that sounds good.

Okay, all right I'll

see you out there.

All right.

Let's hear it for

our lady warriors!

Number nine, senior,

Wendy Prazda.

Number two, junior,

Penelope Walker.

Number 17, senior, miles Walton.

Let's hear

it for your home team!

That's 15 points, folks!

And a first set

for Pondley high.

Yes.

Pondley high wins!

Your lady warriors win their

first game with a shut out!

Go Pondley!

Good game,

good game, good game,

good game, good game, good

game, good game, good game.

Good game last night.

Thanks, Rory.

You have a five?

So, are you really sticking

with this girls' team thing?

Yeah it's fun.

Well I heard some people

are ticked about it.

Really?

Yeah, like you're

trying to make

some big statement or something.

I don't know, I just really

like playing volleyball.

I hope it's really not that big

of a deal or anything.

Run, Lola, run, right?

The eye level camera

angles and long takes

when she runs are insane.

Cool.

I just like the poster

because of her hair.

Thanks for the hookup and

good luck on the team.

Hey coach.

I just had a talk

with coach Tilden.

He said his girls

aren't comfortable

playing against your

team with a boy on it.

Why, 'cause they

know we're gonna win?

Girls regulation nets are

six and a half inches lower

than the boys' nets.

Oh please, can

we just play ball?

Look, I'm just passing

the message here.

Nah, he's going in.

All right then.

Pam Walton?

Oh hi, Marge.

I thought I saw you over there.

So you're still teaching

history over at Calvary?

Mmm hmm.

I was hoping I'd run into you.

I didn't get to catch

you at the game.

I wanna ask you about

something for Lisa.

My oldest.

Oh sure, what's that?

Your boy, miles,

what do you think

the chances are

he's gonna keep playing on

the girls' team like he is?

He sure slaughtered our

poor girls last night.

Well he is really enjoying it.

In fact, they're

actually over playing

their first away game.

How is Lisa liking it?

Oh she loves it.

Oh good, good.

Pam, the thing is,

is Pondley shut us

out in two sets.

And you know, it's funny,

but some of the

girls on Lisa's team

were saying that

it's not really fair

him being a boy and all.

Hmm.

I think there might

be rules about that.

Well, you know.

Boys will be boys.

Well.

And miles will be miles.

Besides, if the

conference had a boys' team

this wouldn't even be an issue.

Well they do have boys' teams.

But for football and baseball.

Right.

Right.

Well, just something

to think about.

Mmm hmm.

I should get going.

Okay, sounds good.

Please give my

best to your girls.

You take care now.

You, too.

Yes!

Good job, miles!

Yes!

Hey you're back!

I'm going to my group.

Okay.

There's dinner and

groceries in the fridge.

Sounds good.

How was your game?

It was fine.

How many points did you score?

Uh, I don't remember.

I'm probably just

gonna watch the Goonies

in my room tonight

if that's all right.

That's fine, sweetie pie.

Have fun tonight.

Don't wanna be late!

Bye.

Bye.

You know, it's been so

long now since Angela passed.

And... so now that the kids

are out of the house,

it's starting, just

starting to feel like

maybe this is a new chapter.

Mmm hmm, you feel like

a whole new person, right?

Yes, yes, exactly!

So you know.

Well maybe it's time

to start working out.

Or just to try new things.

Try to push myself out of my

comfort zone, do you know?

Cheers to that.

That's what I'd like to say.

Cheers and to

having a lovely dinner

with a gorgeous woman.

Awe, well I wouldn't

say gorgeous but...

Oh, I sure would.

That's so sweet.

So when you shared that

story with the group,

about Ron's mistress

and the car.

Oh my goodness.

How are you not absolutely

losing your mind over that?

I don't know.

I mean believe me, I've had some

terrible, terrible thoughts.

I bet.

Put it this way,

she would not wanna

meet me in a dark alley, okay?

I'd knock her teeth out.

But I don't know what to do.

The thing is in her name.

Her lunatic mother protects

her like a bulldog.

And she looks like one, too.

Is that so mean

of me to say that?

No, you're so not mean.

What if you weren't so nice,

what would you do?

If you could do anything

about this right now,

what would you do?

Anything?

Yeah, if you weren't so sweet.

You're gonna

think I'm terrible.

All right, this might be

the wine talking but...

No!

Drive!

Oh I'm so glad

you're still awake!

How ya doing, buddy?

Good.

So who is the date with?

How'd you know

I was on a date?

You never wear that

to a group meeting.

You also never wear

this much perfume.

I think that

smell is the wine.

Wow.

So, are you okay with this?

With me going on a date?

Yeah we're cool.

I want you to have fun.

Was it good?

It was great!

So, who is he?

Are you ready for this?

Mr. Bryant.

The new superintendent.

Whoa, scandal.

Scandal.

Are you gonna get

in trouble for that?

No I'm not gonna
