The Genesis Code

---

Man on PA:
Heading for

the neutral zone.

Avoids a hit

along the boards!

Now in the net, shoots...

And that one is smacked away

by Patrick.

The puck is driven

behind the Panther net.

Going after it is Stayner

for the Monarchs.

And a solid hit by

Van Fleet in the corner,

as Temple now controls the puck

and breaks out of the zone.

Here comes Teller

along the boards.

He fires one top,

shoots it just wide.

And here he comes again,

the Monarchs' young sensation,

Blake Truman.

You can feel the electricity

in the crowd when Blake

gets in his zone.

It's Truman,

in alone on the net.

Panther goalie Tony Patrick

hasn't had much success.

Now it's Little Pistachio,

heading into the board.

And a thunderous hit

by Walhart

sends him

tumbling onto the ice.

He's spun around by

the Panther defense.

Jumping on the loose puck

is Truman,

and Patrick covers up.

Gets himself to the net.

He shoots, he scores!

Nice shot by

Blake Truman.

There's a scramble

in front of the Monarch net.

And Monarch goalie Tyler Ross

comes up with a glove save,

and he's joined by a host of

players from both teams.

Building up head steam

through the neutral zone.

Avoids a monstrous hit

by Green.

And he's finally

upended by Bradford

with a vicious hip check.

Truman over

to Shane Thomas.

Breaking in all roads.

He shoots.

He scores!

Time is winding down now in

the third period,

which has 15 seconds left.

The crowd on their feet,

cheering on their Monarchs!

And here they come, their final

rush to the gate!

It's Truman slicing

the puck to Laughton!

Now Laughton back to Truman as

he's taken out of the play!

Truman with the puck!

That's it!

It is over!

A one-sided affair

by the score,

but Temple fought all the way.

That was insane!

Woo!

Yeah!

Hi, Blake Truman?

And who wants to know?

I'm Kerry Wells.

Hope you don't mind if

I sit down for a minute.

So I see you're

a classic-lit major.

What, are you writing

a book?

No, actually,

I'm with the school paper

and I'm doing a story on Madison

College's new hockey super jock.

Aren't you the lucky one?

So, Blake, tell me

about yourself.

This isn't gonna be

one of those

he-was-born-in-a-log-cabin,

walked-to-school-every-day-

six-miles-uphill-both-ways

epics, is it?

I have to start

somewhere, I'm sorry.

Let's just skip the trivia

and get right to

the important part.

You know, the "how'd you get

to be so great" part.

okay.

So where were you born?

You know, in order for this

to be a really good story,

there needs to be

some serious empathy

between the writer

and subject.

Here, I'll show you.

Kerry, wasn't it?

Classic lit

and a steel-trap memory.

So tell me, Kerry.

- How's your love life?

- Excuse me?

You heard me.

You hooking up with anyone

special right now?

I don't think that

that's any of your business.

But it is-

You know, the empathy thing.

Creating that link between

the interviewer

and the interviewee.

So are you?

I was, if you must know.

Was, huh?

Was it serious?

Well, I thought so.

- Who broke it off?

- I did.

Why?

Because he wanted something

I don't plan to share

until I'm married.

What?

Classic lit, staggering

intellect, but very bad hearing.

No, I just- I thought I heard

you say you were-

"Chaste" is the word I

believe you're stumbling over.

Close enough.

It's just, I've never met

a chaste girl before.

Really?

Well, this must be

your lucky day.

Let me guess,

I bet you're a believer.

And you figured that out

with only one question.

- You're so smart.

- man:
There he is.

- What's going on, man?

- Hey.

Don't forget about the chalk

talk this afternoon, all right?

Yeah, man.

We know, we know, we just

wanted to get a closer look

at your new friend

over here.

Kerry Wells,

this is Shane Thomas,

Tyler Ross and

Chase Laughton.

Pistachio?

I'm good, thank you.

- Guys, I'm gonna be famous.

- All right.

Front-page news,

"Madison Guardian. "

Nice.

Hey, you know, I got some

pictures of this superstar

Lying naked on a bearskin rug

when he was just a cub.

Can I get some copies

of those?

- I will sell them to you.

- Come on, guys.

All right,

it was nice to meet you.

Bye, you guys.

We'll see you at

the rink, yeah?

- Take it easy.

- All right.

- Pound it, pound it.

- Bye.

- I gotta get to the rink.

- See you tonight.

Are you coming

to the game later?

I wasn't planning on it.

Change your plans.

I'll score a goal

for your story

and then later we can go to

Gatsby's and have a drink.

I'll tell you all about

the long walk to school.

I'll think about it.

Hey, just sit close

to the ice.

I'll look for you.

What's going on, buddy,

how you doing, man?

You got some stuff on your-

oh, oh, no.

How's it going, guys?

What's going on fellas, man?

Glad you made it,

glad you made it.

Yo Blake,

who's the new squeeze?

That's your girl?

Seriously, dude,

she's really cute.

She's got those big

baby-deer eyes.

Like I told you guys, man,

she's just writing a story on me

for the "Guardian. "

- Uh-huh.

- oh, right.

Dude, you score more off the ice

than you do on, I swear.

That's a quote for the

article, dude, take that down.

No, no, no, not this one.

She's a Christian,

Bible thumper.

Pure as the driven snow.

man:
All right, everybody,

settle down.

Gather round, listen up.

Pay attention, guys.

You all played a great game

last night,

but Temple's a team that

bounces back strong

after a loss.

Tonight's gonna determine

whether or not we deserve

our number-one ranking.

- Ross.

- What's that?

Nothing.

Now, this has been a team

effort and we all know that.

But I'd be disingenuous

if I didn't point out the

obvious fact here that Blake

has brought an extra dimension

to the club this year.

Is there anything you'd like

to say to the guys, Blake?

No, Coach,

just that I really-

really glad to be skating

with you guys this year.

Really glad, man.

Now look, I want you guys

to get an early dinner,

be back at the rink

by 5:
30.

5:
30, Shane.

First, we're gonna go over

a few plays for tonight's game.

woman:
Becky, you're late

with the first part

of that anthology.

That story is due

next Thursday.

The ad file.

I need that want-ad file.

Hello?

Anytime now, kids.

Thank you.

Becky.

( phone ringing )

Hello?

No.

I swear, nobody knows how to

handle deadlines anymore.

Hey, come here.

What are you guys

doing tonight?

Well, we thought about

flying to Paris,

but the airport's snowed in.

So why don't you come

to the game with me then?

- What game?

- The hockey game.

I don't know anything

about hockey.

I know the players

are kind of cute.

- Why?

- I'm doing a story.

man on PA:
Good evening,

everyone,

and welcome to

Madison College's Sportsplex

for tonight's game between

the Temple Panthers

and your Madison Monarchs.

If last night's game

is any indication,

we should be in for a

fast-paced affair this evening.

For those of you who are on
