Thunderstruck Page #2

Synopsis: A fun and energetic family basketball movie starring Kevin Durant AS HIMSELF, a basketball star who switches talent with a klutzy 16 year old fan. When Brian, a hopelessly uncoordinated young fan magically switches talents with his hero, Kevin Durant, he becomes the star of his high school team...while Kevin Durant suddenly can't make a shot to save his life. But with the playoffs approaching, Brian learns that being a true winner involves working hard at your own game, and he tries to make things right in time to prevent a catastrophic end to his hero's season.

Oh, my Gad, you're Kevin Durant.

Hey, take this, man.

Kevin Durant absolutely on fire

in the first half...

...totally stinks it up in the second,

going 0 for 13, he-

Right below the lungs is the liver.

So just reach in there

and remove the liver.

Ga ahead, get in there. Don't be shy.

Take it cut, examine it.

Sc you saw the halftime shat?

- Um, I think a lat of people saw it.

- Really?

Connor kind of sort of posted it online

this morning.

Haw can one person be

such a complete and total jack hale?

I know. It's amazing. Even--

That's add.

Now, I want you to find the stomach.

Rejected. As usual.

Mam and Dad said

'Mom!

Yeah, I know. Shut up.

Please, this is more humiliating for me.

Reagan? Reagan! Wait up!

Oh, wait.

Oh, yeah, that's funny.

Yeah, haw she always makes you play

Oh, that's so coal, man. Like, I lave it.

Wait. One more time.

All right? Let's do it.

He wants to win something

- I am gonna win one for her.

- Which one do you want, little lady?

Uh, that one.

Ooh, the panda.

A lat of pressure.

Think you can do it, my man?

- Really, it's okay. It's fine.

- Na, I can do this.

You know I can do this, right?

Came an. I'll do it.

These rims aren't regulation

and you know it.

Man, this is so beautiful.

Oh, the Lard works in mysterious ways.

Seriously, I don't want you

to waste money.

- It's fine.

- Na, my family has plenty of money.

This is fine, it doesn't even matter.

Came an.

Think you could do better, Hang Time?

Why don't you give it a try?

Just make sure there's no mascots around.

Man, he's not even worth it.

You're right.

That was luck.

Why don't you do it again?

Oh, my Gad. Oh, my Gad. Oh, my Gad.

Haw about another?

Let's go.

Give it up.

Thank you. I can't believe it.

You're welcome. And me neither.

Sure. Yeah.

You're welcome.

What are you talking about?

- Seriously?

- Just give me the rack, man.

Hup

Lack, are you--?

You want out of your contract, huh?

Is it the team? You mad at the coach?

You want me to talk to the owner?

I can't help you if you don't tell me

what the problem is.

It's none of that, man. Give me the rack,

get out of the way so I can shunt.

Wait. Is it me?

It's me, isn't it?

- Sending me a message?

- I'm not sending you a message.

- I'm in a slump. That's all it is.

- A slump?

You seen a slump before?

That's where I'm at right now.

- Okay. Slump.

- Yeah.

All right, a slump. A slump.

- I'm sure Kobe has went O for 17 too

- I was one for 17.

Correction, one for 11. One.

Although the one counts as a miss

because it bounced off Perkins' forehead.

"Bounced off Perkins'--"

Stop being funny.

Na, I'm not being funny.

Nothing funny about this.

- Watch the pick.

Nader. Nader, hey.

Dc you want to guard him?

The answer is yes,

you want to guard him.

Because you're a basketball player.

All right. If Conner here

goes around off the pick...

...I need you to switch, pap cut,

and deny the ball at all casts.

But if he gets the pick,

then I need you to get up in his grill...

...farce him dawn to the baseline,

and trap him in the corner.

Gut it?

- Oh, I gut it, coach.

- All right.

Now, let's run it again.

And this time, don't suck.

- Yeah, don't suck.

- Play to your potential.

- Keep it crisp.

- Pick him up.

Yeah, I'm an him.

- A little harder with that pass.

Ball! Ball! Ball!

You're late.

- What are you doing in uniform?

- I wanna try out for the team again.

No, no, no. Tryouts are over, Billy.

- Name's Brian.

That sums up

why he didn't make the team.

If we lose our towel boy,

who's gonna pick up my jockstrap'?

- Knock it off, Connor.

- You wear a jockstrap'?

But I've gotten a lat better.

- Well, good for you, Billy. Really.

Somehow things just clicked.

Na, they're taking Ashley for a bike ride.

Brian, lack, I lave you
