==========================

Scene: In a classroom.

(Val and Tyler are sitting on a teacher's desk and Hank is standing off to the side. There's lots of other people in the room too.)

Val: So thank you so much everybody for giving up your lunch period. We really gotta get this fundraiser off the ground.

Jasmine: Here's a couple ideas that I came up with. (Hands out sheets of paper.)

Hank: (Not impressed.) A bake sale?

Jasmine: (Defensively.) Yeah, and what's wrong with that?

Hank: Everybody does bake sales. Hey, you just had one for the cheerleaders.

Jasmine: That raised a ton of money.

Hank: Yeah, boring.

Jasmine: Okay, do you have a better idea?

Hank: Um listen Honey, I'm sure if you forgot or not, but we're trying to raise money for the athletic department. Okay, whatever we do should be sports related.

Jasmine: (Flatly.) Wow. Big yawn.

Hank: (Bell rings.) Hmm, the meeting's over. (Insincerely.) Too bad. (He smirks and walks away. Val and Tyler get up and walk away together.)

Val: (Whispers to Tyler) Oh, he totally likes her.

Tyler: No way.

Val: Yeah. Yeah.

Tyler: No.

Scene: At a woman's house.

(We see the ambulance doors open and Hank climb out followed by everyone else. Jamie isn't there.)

Wo

Man: (Off Screen.) Help me!

Neighbor: Hi, I live next door. We head her yelling but the gate was locked. She says she fell. It's right back here, I'll show you. (She leads the way and they follow.)

Wo

Man: (Off Screen.) Somebody, help me. (They get to gate and cut the lock off.) Help me, please.

Hank: Let's go.

Wo

Man: (She's sitting in the grass.) Please, I don't wanna die.

Hank: Now take it easy Ma'am, where do you hurt. (The bend down by her.)

Wo

Man: Tiger. Help me.

Hank: No, it's okay. We're emergency Medical Services. (to the squad.) No medic alert tags. (To the woman.) You're hyperventilating. Breathe into this mask.)

Val: The right ankle is swollen. (Hank puts the mask over her mouth and nose. She breathes deep.)

Tyler: (Taking Blood Pressure.) PB one-eighteen over seventy eight. Resps are shallow. (Hank nods.)

Wo

Man: (Takes the mask off.) Save me. Tiger. (Hank looks confused.)

Tyler: Maybe she thinks you're Tiger Woods. (Shrugs and doesn't buy it himself.)

Hank: Ma'am, when you fell did you hit your head.

Wo

Man: No. My poodle was growling at the bushes and I went to check on her and then I slipped and fell and then I saw it, but I couldn't move. (Grips Hank's shoulders.) The. . The tiger ate Fluffy. Please, please don't let him get me.

Val: (Holds in a laugh.) Ma'am, try to stay calm, there's no tiger's around here. (We hear a growl. Val turns sharply and the woman screams. We get a quick reaction shot of Tyler. He looks scared. They all do. Hank freezes and slowly turns his head. A while tiger walks into the back yard, a chain swinging from his neck. We see it's teeth when it roars and Hank slowly looks back at the group.)

[Opening Credits]

Scene: Woman's house. Continued from before.

(The tiger growls. The woman screams.)

Tyler: What do you do?

Hank: Nobody move.

Val: Shouldn't we call Animal Control or something?

Hank: Yeah, but I don't wanna move. (The tiger growls and the woman screams again. Tyler jerks back.) Okay, maybe we should start easing our way toward the house. Slowly. (They slowly get up and back away. The woman is holding on to Hank and Val is holding on to Tyler's arm. Hank is mumbling something under his breath. We don't know what it is.)

Trainer: (Comes in the fence.) Good boy. Hey, Billy what have you been doing? (Goes up to him a give him a treat.) What a good lad. (Scratches the tiger's ears.) What have you been doing?

Hank: Uh, sir?

Trainer: Yeah?

Hank: Is it safe for us to move?

Trainer: Oh, absolutely, of course it is. (To the tiger.) Good boy. (To the group.) This is Billy. We're shooting a kitty litter commercial up the street. He jumped the fence. I hope he didn't scare you guys.

Squad: No no no. (Basically deny it.)

Wo

Man: I thought he was going to attack me.

Trainer: (To the tiger.) Did you scare these people? Bad tiger. Oh yeah, you. What were you thinking when you jumped that fence? (The tiger lays down) Yeah son, oh why don't you lay down. Come on son, let's go. (Waves after the squad.) Look after yourselves and (To the tiger) come on son, let's go and get your close up. Good boy, come on son.

Wo

Man: I think your son at my poodle. (Two feet pop out of the garbage can followed by a dog's head. The poodle jumps out and runs to it's owner. She's happy.) Fluffy, oh Fluffy! Oh, what a lovely poodle you are.

Scene: Brooke's music classroom.

(Brooke is playing a classical piece on the piano and the rest of the class is listening. When she finishes, they clap. Nick nods and give her a thumbs up.)

Scene: School Cafeteria.

(Jen sets her tray down across from Brooke who's taking her lunch out of her lunch bag.)

Nicole: (Walks by on her way to her seat at the other end of the table.) Brooke, you are so totally the best in class.

Brooke: No I'm not.

Jen: Are too. I wish I could play like that.

Nick: Yeah well, maybe if you practices once in a while.

Jen: Now you sound like my mother.

Mark: (To Nick.) Hey, I'll trade you half my egg salad sandwich for one of your brownies. (Slides the sandwich over.)

Nick: (Slides it back.) Forget it, I'm trading with Brooke.

Mark: You always trade with Brooke.

Brooke: Well that's because my bread's not soggy.

(A shot of Amanda looking around the cafeteria looking lost. Jen notices her.)

Jen: Hey, who's that?

Amanda: (Looks over at their table and waves) Yo Nick.

Nick: (Waves back.) Hey Amanda.

Brooke: You know her already?

Nick: Yeah, she's a new kid. In my science class. (Amanda comes over.) Hi Amanda. These are my friends (points each one out.) Brooke, Jen, Mark, Nicole, and Bobby. Amanda's from New York guys.

Brooke: Awesome.

Jen: No way, that's so cool.

Mark: I love New York.

Amanda: So Nick, where should I meet you after school?

Nick: How 'bout at the dead bush by the font doors.

Amanda: Great. Nice meeting you all. (Walks away.)

Brooke: (A little jealous.) I thought we were going to the arcade today.

Nick: Oh, I'm sorry. I totally forgot. See, Amanda's dad is taking us to that new science museum with the space flight simulator. Me and Amanda are going to Mars. Well, how 'bout next week?

Brooke: (Uneasy) Sure.

Scene: School hallway.

(Val, Hank and Tyler are walking together.)

Val: But did you see those claws, they were so huge. I was petrified.

Hank: Yeah, I was so scared I was projectile sweating. I kid you not.

Tyler: Son is like a pussy cat like Big Ben is a wristwatch.

Hank: See what I'm saying? (They reach the room and see Jasmine writing on the board. Sarcastically.) Oh great, lucky my. From the tiger to the lady. (Goes in. Val and Tyler stay by the door. The Tyler and Val's conversation is at the same time Hank and Jasmine's is.)

Val: (Nudges Tyler and whispers.) Oh, he's so cute pretending that he doesn't like her.

Tyler: I don't think he's pretending.

Hank: (Off screen.) Hey Jasmine. What are you doing?

Jasmine: (Off screen.) I'm organizing the bake sale.

Hank: (Off screen.) You spent all this time organizing a bake sale? You're so wrong.

Val: Please. The attraction is so obvious.

Jasmine: (The camera cuts to her and Hank.) Me? Hank, nobody's gonna pay money to watch a bunch of jocks show off.

Hank: Yeah well how much are stale cookies gonna raise. A bake sale won't cut it.

Jasmine: And neither will backyard Olympics.

Tyler: So guys, why don't we do both? Have some sports related stuff and a bake sale.

Val: Hey, yeah, we can turn it into a carnival.

Tyler: Maybe some rides. I mean we can get somebody to donate them. I mean that wouldn't be too much to handle.

Hank: No.

Val: This could be a lot of fun.

Jasmine: Sounds okay.

Hank: (Sarcastically.) Yeah, sounds great. (Jasmine plays with her hair.)

Val: Okay, so Tyler and I can organize the rides and the bake sale and you and Hank, you can work on the games.

Jasmine: I don't think so. (Crosses her arms.)

Hank: No, no, uh uh.

Tyler: Guys, it's a big job, there's lots to do.

Jasmine: I can do it. And I don't need any help from him.

Hank: That's fine by me, I don wanna work with her anyway.

Jasmine: Good. (Picks up a piece of paper and leaves.)

Hank: Then fine! (Walks out too.)

Val: (Laughs, and hit's Tyler on the chest with the back of her hand.) Did you see the way he strutted, and she touched her hair. That is classic body language for major attraction.

Scene: Music Room.

(Nick and Amanda are sitting at the piano and Nicole is standing by.)

Nick: Come on, play that song you played at your house.

Amanda: (Reluctant) I don't know, class is gonna start any second.

Nicole: Well there's still a few minutes.

Nick: Yeah, come on.

Amanda: Okay. (Plays the piano and sings.) Little shop, little shop of horror. Little shop, little shop of terror. Call the cop, little shop of horror (Brooke and Jen walk in) no, oh oh, no. Little shop, little shop of horror. Bob, she bob, little shop of terror, watch 'em drop, little shop of horror. No, oh, oh, whoa. (The class claps.) You get the idea.

Jen: Wow. (Gets a look from Brooke.) She's not so great. (Bell rings.)

Brooke: Tell that to Nick.

Teacher: (Walks up behind Brooke and Jen.) Alright, let's get to our seats. (To the whole class) Alright everyone, take a seat. (They do. Nick and Amanda sit together.) Okay guys, we're going to do some work on harmonics next. So I want you to pair up in groups of two or more and choose a song that will demonstrate harmony. All the groups will perform their songs at the end of next week, alright. (Brooke gets up and walks over to Nick.)

Amanda: Hey Nick, you wanna work with me?

Nick: Sure.

Brooke: (Looks surprised.) Oh, um, I thought we'd work together.

Amanda: Well uh, we could all three team up. Uh, she said two or more.

Brooke: We can't all play the piano at once. It's okay. I'll find another partner. (Turns around a looks near tears.)

Stock Shot: Outside station. Day.

Scene: Station.

(Hank is walking down a hallway when he overhears Tyler and Val having a "private" conversation in extra loud voices.

Random EMT: Here's that report.

Tyler: Since when does Jasmine like Hank? (He stops to listen.)

Val: Oh, she's always liked him.

Tyler: Well you coulda fooled me.

Val: She just doesn't think he likes her. But you know, she talks about him all the time. (We see Val and Tyler standing on the other side of the door staging the conversation.)

Tyler: Really?

Val: Oh yeah, she thinks he's a total hunk. (Cut to Hank in hallway eavesdropping. He actually looks pleases to hear this. "Jasmin" By Youth Asylum starts to play. Hank walks down the hallway and does a spin thing. Val and Tyler laugh. For all his protesting in the beginning, he's starting to get into the match making thing.)

Scene: Carnival. Music is still playing from the previous scene.

(Shot of Hank walking through the crowd. On of Jasmine using a screwdriver to secure a board with balloons and one of Val and Tyler setting up the bake sale. They look over and smile. Back to a shot of Hank walking up to Jasmine.)

Hank: Hey Jas.

Jasmine: Hi.

Hank: So, dart throwing contest huh?

Jasmine: (Snaps.) Yeah.

Hank: You know I used to play a little bit of darts back in the day. (picks one up.) Pretty good.

Jasmine: Uh, uh huh. (Keeps putting up the board.)

Hank: It's just a matter of simple physics. You know, the angle of the throw, plus the speed of the throw determines the trajectory of the dart. I'm gonna go ahead and demonstrate for you. (He winks and gets ready to throw.)

Jasmine: Hank, just wait. I'm not finished. (He throws the dart, pops a balloon and the board Jasmine was putting up swings down, knocking part of the tent down. She sighs angrily. )

Hank: Wow, I-I am so sorry.

Jasmine: (Pissed.) Thanks a lot Hank.

Hank: I was an accident. It wasn't even put up right!

Jasmine: I said it wasn't finished.

Hank: Well if you needed my help setting up why didn't you just ask?!

Jasmine: And inflate your ego even more? I don't think so.

Hank: No, look I'll fix it. Why don't you just get over yourself? Back up Jas, I said I'd get it. Move it, I'll fix it. (She was putting it back up. Hank goes over to do it for her. Val and Tyler are watching this.) Why don't you just get over yourself?

Jasmine: Alright. (She lets the part she was holding go, and the board swings and knocks down the whole tent. Tyler laughs and Val cringes.)

Hank: My bad.

Scene: Arcade.

("Can't Let Go" By Sammie is playing. Brooke and Nick are playing a video game together.)

Brooke: He's gonna get us, go into hyperdrive.

Nick: No, not 'til we pass that asteroid belt. (Short pause) Okay, one, two, three. (They hit the control and win.) Yes!

Brooke: Alright, we did it! (High five eachother.)

Nick: Come on, let's enter our initials.

Brooke: Oh yeah, we rule.

Nick: Okay, I'll get some more change.

Brooke: I'll scope some other games. (The separate. Brooke goes up to Jen.) Hey.

Jen: Ugh. (loses her game.) So, looks like things are back to being cool with you and Nick.

Brooke: Yeah, he's still my bud, I shouldn't have been so worried.

Jen: (Looks over and sees Amanda walk in. Nick waves to her.) Uh oh.

Brooke: What? (Turns and sees Nick and Amanda. Not happy to see Amanda. Groans.) Amanda. Um, maybe it's just a coincidence.

Jen: Or she's stalking him.

Brooke: Hey Amanda.

Amanda: Hey Jen, hey Brooke.

Jen: Yeah hi, so what are you doing here?

Amanda: Nick invited me.

Nick: Yeah, I told her it's like, your favorite place.

Amanda: I can see why, this place rocks.

Nick: So, so you wanna play that new Galactic Battalion game I was telling you about?

Brooke: (Jealous.) But you always play that with me.

Nick: Yeah, well we just did. And Amanda never has. She's gonna love it. (She shakes her head.) Come on Brooke, don't be a baby.

Brooke: (Defensive.) I didn't say a word. Go ahead, play. It's a free country.

Nick: (To Amanda.) Come on, let's try and beat Brooke's and my score.

Amanda: Sure.

Jen: Oh my Godzilla. She's like the flu, he'll get over her. Right?

Brooke: (Sadly. Shakes her head.) No. I think I've just lost a friend.

Scene: Ambulance.

Tyler: (Into the radio.) We're on our way.

Jamie: What do we know?

Val: Forty year old white male, chest pains, possible MI.

Scene: Diner.

(A man is sitting in a booth clutching his hear. He's sweating and a waitress is wiping his forehead with a cloth.)

Man: You people did this! (He says more, but it's unintelligible because he's in pain. Tyler, Val and Jamie get there and the waitress hurries to get out of the way.) I can't breathe, you gotta help me. Help me.

Tyler: We're trying sir, just relax.

Man: Oh, relax. (Like that's a ever gonna happen.)

Val: Do you feel any pain in your left arm?

Man: No, no it's my chest. It's burning. Like fire in the (makes a random sound.)

Val: Okay, now does it hurt to take a breath?

Man: Oh yes, yes, really bad. (Val starts to listen to his heart.)

Jamie: BP's one twenty over eighty.

Val: Resps are eighteen and shallow.

Tyler: Okay, Let's get him up on three. Ready, one two three and up. (Tyler and Jamie both pull on his arms to get him into a sitting position. He let's out the grossest burp. Cut to reaction shots of everyone looking disgusted.

Man: Oh, wow that's better. That really is better.

Jamie: He's right, uh BP is coming down.

Scene: Station garage.

(They're all climbing out of the ambulance. Tyler's in the driver's seat and Jamie is in between him and Val. All of them are laughing.)

Jamie: His burp was so nasty it almost knocked me over.

Tyler: (Comes around to join the other two on the side of the ambulance.) That was what I call a bad case of heart burn.

Val: So what do I write on the paperwork?

Jamie: Chili dog. . . extra onions. (He and Tyler walk away.)

Val: (Sarcastically.) Thanks.

Jasmine: (Comes in.) Hey Val.

Val: Hey, what are you doing here?

Jasmine: Looking for you. You'll never guess who sent me flowers. (Shows her the card.)

Val: Who?

Jasmine: Hank.

Val: Really.

Jasmine: I couldn't believe it either. Look what he wrote.

Val: (Takes the card and reads it out loud.) 'Sorry about what happened the other day. Hank. PS please don't mention I sent you flowers, even to me.' Wow.

Jasmine: I know. What does that mean?

Val: Jasmine, I think it means he likes you.

Jasmine: You mean like, likes me, likes me?

Val: Well yeah, he's probably just too shy to come out and tell you himself.

Jasmine: And I've been so mean to him. What should I do?

Val: Go be nice to him. But don't mention the flowers, like he said. Hank's a great guy. Really.

Jasmine: Okay. I'll do it. Thanks. (We can see Val say something that's probably a good-bye, but we can't hear it. Jasmine leaves. Tyler past her on his way in.)

Tyler: Hey Jas.

Jasmine: Hey.

Tyler: (Leans next to Val.) So?

Val: So the flowers worked like a charm.

Tyler: I don't know about this.

Val: I do. They belong together. They do.

Scene: The cafeteria.

(Nick is sitting down when Brooke walks in.)

Nick: Brooke. Come on, I saved you a seat. (Pats the seat. She grins.)

Amanda: (Comes out from under the table.) I hate it when I drop my purse. All the gum stuck under there is disgusting. (Brooke stops smiling.)

Nick: So Brooke, where were you at the arcade? Amanda and I were looking everywhere for you.

Amanda: Yeah.

Brooke: (To herself.) I'm surprised you even noticed I was gone.

Nick: What are you talking about?

Brooke: Just forget it. (Walks away. Nick stares on confusion.)

Scene: Outside the station garage.

(Hank is washing an ambulance when Jasmine comes up.)

Jasmine: Hi Hank, how's it going?

Hank: Hey.

Jasmine: Looks like you're doing a really good job on that ambulance. Looks really clean.

Hank: (Confused as to why Jasmine is nice to him all of a sudden.) Thanks. Is there something I can do for you?

Jasmine: Um. . . well. . . I was wondering. . . I thought maybe we could. . . the thing is, there's this movie coming out on Friday and I was wondering if you. . . you know.

Hank: Are you asking me out?

Jasmine: Well. . . um. . . yeah. I've been a real pain giving you such a hard time and I'm sorry.

Hank: Me too. Yeah, I've been acting like a five year old. It's been pretty dumb because I really like. . . people, people who stand up for themselves.

Jasmine: So, you want to?

Hank: Go out?

Jasmine: (nods.)

Hank: Well yeah. . . yeah.

Jasmine: Great. I'll see you on Friday. (She starts to walk away.)

Hank: Okay. Friday.

Jasmine: (Turns back.) And I know I shouldn't say anything, but thanks for the flowers.

Hank: (Confused.) What? What-what flowers?

Scene: Sidewalk outside the station.

(Brooke's riding her bike to the station when she sees Nick on his back apparently unconscious by some bushes. She drops her bike and rushes over.)

Brooke: Nick! Oh my gosh, are you okay? Hey, we need some help here!

Nick: (Sits up.) No we don't.

Brooke: (Pisses.) What? What kinds of joke is this?

Nick: It's not a joke. I had to get your attention. I mean you've been ignoring me all day at school.

Brooke: No way, you were ignoring me.

Nick: Won't you be quiet and listen? Look, you're my friend Brooke, and that's important to me. (Puts his arm on her back and they start walking.) But it doesn't mean that I can't have other friends. (Amanda stands up from behind the bushes.) I want you guys to talk. I think you're both terrific, and you'll like each other. Plus, it would make my life a whole lot easier. (Backs away.) Go on.

(Amanda and Brooke stare at each other for a second.)

Amanda: All Nick ever talks about is you.

Brooke: Really?

Amanda: All the time. Yep, it gets really annoying too. (They start walking down the sidewalk.) But me? I can't afford to be choosy. I don't really have very many friends here.

Brooke: Yeah, it must be hard to be the new kid.

Amanda: Well I get pretty homesick, but mostly I miss my best friend, Donna. You kinda remind me of her.

Brooke: Really?

Amanda: Yeah, you're both smart, musical. . . popular. Kinda stubborn, a little jealous, rather conceited.

Brooke: Excuse me?

Amanda: But deep down where it counts. . . you're perfect.

Brooke: That's more like it.

Scene: Carnival.

(Tyler and Val are working the bake sake. Val's wearing her cheerleading sweater and Tyler's wearing a football jacket.)

Tyler: (Hands a customer his food.) Here you go.

Val: Thank you very much. (Takes the money.)

Customer: You're welcome.

Val: (To Tyler.) Wow, this bake sale really was a great idea. We've made a fortune.

Tyler: Val, this whole carnival's a success.

Val: (They look over at Hank and Jasmine.) Hey, it looks like the carnival wasn't the only success.

Tyler: Yeah, I guess you were right. They make a pretty cute couple, huh?

Val: Yeah, they do. (Hank and Jasmine come over to Tyler and Val.)

Jasmine: Hey guys, how's it going?

Val: Well great, we've sold almost everything.

Jasmine: We just wanted to thank you guys.

Tyler: (He and Val look at each other.) For what?

Jasmine: For playing matchmaker.

Val: What-what are you talking about?

Hank: Ah, we know you guys set us up.

Jasmine: Come on, just admit it.

Val: (Pleased.) Okay, it was all my idea. But Tyler helped.

Tyler: Yeah, you guys aren't mad about that, are you?

Hank: Oh, no. Not at all. (He and Jasmine look at each other.)

Jasmine: In fact, to show our appreciation we wanna buy the rest of your merchandise.

Tyler: Great!

Val: Oh cool.

Tyler: I'll get you guys some boxes for these.

Jasmine: Nope, don't worry about it. We're just gonna enjoy it right here.

Val: Oh, you're gonna love these.

(Hank and Jasmine sniff the pies, savoring the smell.)

Jasmine: Mmmm

Val: Yeah.

(Together Jasmine hits Val in the face with a pie and Hank hit's Tyler's with one.)

(Hank and Jasmine Laugh. Val and Tyler are speechless.)

Hank: It's dripping from his forehead! (Points and laughs.)

Tyler: You're not mad, huh?

Hank: Not anymore.

(Val starts laughing and Hank and Jasmine high five.)

Scene: Cafeteria.

(It's empty except for Nick. Brooke walks up to him.)

Brooke: Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Brooke: You were right. Amanda's cool.

Nick: Told ya.

Brooke: This seat taken?

Nick: No, go ahead. (She sits.)

Brooke: I'm sorry I snapped at you the other day. That was immature.

Nick: Hey, what good's a best friend if you can't blow up at them?

Brooke: Do you think there's still a chance I can work with you and Amanda on the harmony assignment?

Nick: Sure. You and I can play the piano and Amanda can sing.

Brooke: That's be great. (Takes her lunch out of her lunch bag.) Ugh, turkey loaf. (Looks at Nick and grins.) But the bread's not soggy.

Nick: It's a deal. (She give him half her sandwich and he giver her part of his lunch.)
