A carpet rolls out across a floor.
A woman opens a door.
She says, SIS.
Salwa says, I'M PRAYING HERE.
The woman says, TRUCK'S HERE, LET'S GO.
Salwa says, NO, DELIVERY DAY IS YOUR CHORE.
The woman says, NO, YOU TRADED ME DELIVERY
DAY FOR TAKING YOU AND MIKEY
FOR FROYO.
Salwa says, NO, BRO, THAT WAS FOR DOING
THE DISHES.
The woman says, IT WAS DELIVERY DAY, DO YOU
WANT ME TO SHOW YOU THE TEXT YOU
TEXTED ME?
Salwa says, NO, IT'S FINE, I REMEMBER.
The woman says, DON'T WORRY, I'LL HELP.
Salwa carries a bag into a kitchen as the woman leans against a shelf and looks at her cellphone.
Salwa says, THIS IS YOU HELPING.
The woman says, I'M QUALITY CONTROL AND OHS.
Salwa says, OH-WHAT?
The woman says, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND
SAFETY. NAH, JUST MESSING WITH YOU.
OF COURSE I'LL HELP YOU, LEGEND.
SO WHAT'S UP?
Salwa says, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
The woman asks, WHAT'S UP WITH YOU?
Salwa says, IT'S EARLY.
The woman says, DUH, WHAT ELSE?
Salwa says, I WANTED TO SLEEP IN.
The woman says, HAVE A CRY, PRINCESS.
WHAT ELSE?
[Bags crinkle]
Salwa says, I'M JUST STRESSED, ALL RIGHT?
The woman says, WELL, OBVIOUSLY, SIS,
THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING YOU WHAT'S UP.
I CARE ABOUT YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU STRESSED ABOUT?
Salwa says, ZONE IS TOMORROW, AND WE
DON'T HAVE A TEAM, 'CAUSE TIFF
WENT OUT TEAM MAHAKI, AND I
CAN'T REPLACE HER BECAUSE I'M
RUSTY, AND I--
The woman says, RUSTY, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Salwa says, I CAN'T PLAY ANYMORE, I JUST
FULLY FREAK OUT WHEN I DO!
AND I CAN'T TELL MY BROS THAT
BECAUSE THAT WILL FREAK THEM
OUT, 'CAUSE THEY THINK I'M A
FULLY HECTIC LEGEND.
The woman says, YOU ARE A LEGEND.
Salwa says, THANKS, SIS, YOU'RE A HECTIC
LEGEND TOO, BUT SERIOUSLY.
IT'S JUST-- IT'S FULLY STRESSFUL AS.

Sparks fly as Auntie uses a grinder.
Mikey says, AUNTIE.
Auntie puts down the grinder.
[Clunk]
Mikey says, I'M IN A BIT OF A PICKLE, EH?
Auntie says, AH, I LOVE PICKLES.
WHAT'S YOUR PICKLE?
Salwa says, HANDBALL.
WAIT, NO, RUGBY.
WELL, I GUESS THERE'S TWO
PICKLES BUT THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
SO MANY PICKLES.
Auntie says, AH, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO
MANY PICKLES.
Auntie helps Mikey put on equipment.
[Sliding]
Mikey says, I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT ACTUAL PICKLES.
Auntie asks, THEN WHAT ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT?
Mikey says, HANDBALL AND RUGBY.
'CAUSE YOU KNOW I LOVE HANDBALL, EH?
Auntie says, RIGHT.
Mikey says, I GET TO PLAY WITH MY BROS,
I GET TO HANG OUT. MAKE SWEET-AS PACTS.
Auntie says, OH, I KNOW THAT, YEAH.
Mikey says, BUT I THINK I MIGHT LIKE
RUGBY, NOT LOVE, BUT LIKE-LIKE.
I'M NOT SURE, EH?
Auntie syas, YOU THINKING ABOUT
DOING THAT BUTTERFIELD TRIAL?
Mikey says, I DON'T KNOW, BUT IF I DO,
THEN I'LL HAVE TO BREAK THE PACT.
Auntie says, BUT YOU'VE GOTTA GET INTO
BUTTERFIELD FIRST.
Mikey says, TRUE.
Auntie puts a spiky helmet on Mikey’s head.
Auntie says, WHY ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT
BREAKING THE PACT? THAT'S LIKE
WORRYING ABOUT THE PICKLE BEFORE
YOU'VE EVEN TASTED IT.
Mikey says, YEAH, WELL, I MIGHT REALLY
LIKE THE TASTE OF THE RUGBY
PICKLE, AND MY BROS WOULD BE
SAD AS IF I LEAVE.
Auntie says, THERE'S SO MANY PICKLES
OUT THERE, YOU GOT YOUR DILL,
YOU HAVE GARLIC, YOU HAVE
PEPPERCORNS, ALL REALLY SKUX AS.
YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW?
Mikey says, 'CAUSE YOU'VE TRIED THEM ALL?
Auntie says, THAT'S RIGHT, BOY.
YOU HAVE TO TRY THINGS BEFORE
YOU MAKE A DECISION.
Mikey says, IT'S PRETTY SKUX AS
ADVICE, EH?
Auntie says, DON'T LOSE ANY
OF YOUR COSTUME.
I NEED THOSE PARTS FOR THE
POSTMAN'S CAR.
Mikey says, SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG.
A girl in a Queen of Hearts costume leans against a brick wall. A banner hanging behind her reads “Book Week. Curious Creatures. Wild Animals.”
Students sit.
[Whoosh]
Prisha says, MIKEY THE METAL-MAN,

Salwa notices Tiffany wearing the same costume.
Salwa says, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
A boy dressed as a blue Dictionary stops and looks at Tiffany and Salwa.
He says, TIFF! TWINSIES!
YOU AND SALWA, SO WONDERFUL.
Tiffany looks annoyed and walks away.
Prisha says, COSTUME CRISIS ASIDE, WE'RE
STILL ONE PLAYER DOWN.
Mikey says, NAH, SALWA'S GOING TO GET
BACK ON THE COURT, EH?
Salwa says, WRONG.
Mikey says, WHAT, BUT I THOUGHT

[Children shout]
Prisha says, NOT TO STATE THE OBVIOUS,
BUT TIFF LEFT TEAM MAHAKI, YEAH, YEAH?
Salwa says, AND THAT'S EXACTLY
WHY I'VE GOT TO GET HER BACK.
OI, TIFF, WE NEED TO TALK.
Salwa walks away from Mikey and Prisha.
Mikey says, ALL RIGHT.
[Energetic music plays]
Text reads “Library.”
Tiffany sits on a desk as Salwa approaches her.
Salwa says, OKAY, WHY'D YOU COPY ME, BRO?
Tiffany says, COPYING YOU IS THE LAST THING
ON MY LIST, OKAY.
Salwa says, OKAY, IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS
THAT YOU COPIED ME, BUT THAT'S
SICK, YOU LOOK SICK.
Tiffany says, UM, THANKS, I GUESS.
Salwa says, NOW, I KNOW YOU SAID THAT
YOU'RE OUT OF TEAM MAHAKI AND
EVERYTHING--
Miss Bahm says, GOOD MORNING, MY BOOK WEEK

Viktor and Ivanka walk into the classroom. Prisha smiles at Viktor and he smiles back as he walks behind Ivanka.
Miss Bahm says, OKAY, OKAY, TAKE A SEAT.
LILY, LANCE, NO TOK TOK IN CLASS.
TAKE A SEAT, TAKE A SEAT.
OH, AWESOME.
TWO WONDERFUL WOMEN.

Tiffany says, UM, MISS, I LEFT MY CAPE
OUTSIDE. CAN I GO GET IT?
Miss Bahm says, WONDERFUL
WOMAN IS NOTHING WITHOUT HER CAPE.
TAKE A BUDDY.
Salwa says, I'LL GO.
Miss Bahm says, BACK IN FIVE.
Tiffany says, ON SECOND THOUGHT...
Miss Bahm says, OKAY, WHO CAN GUESS WHO I AM?
Tiffany walks beside Salwa with her arms crossed.
Salwa says, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
Tiffany says, PRETTY OBVI I DON'T WANNA
TALK TO YOU, OKAY?
Salwa says, ALL RIGHT, SO
WHERE'S YOUR CAPE?
Tiffany says, DON'T HAVE A CAPE, I JUST
WANNA GET OUT OF THIS DUMB
COSTUME SO WE'RE NOT TWINS, OKAY.
Salwa says, CAN YOU RELAX?
WE'VE GOT BIGGER FISH TO FRY.
I KNOW YOU LEFT US, BRO, AND
EVERYTHING--
Tiffany says, NOT YOUR BRO, BRO.
Salwa says, WELL, YOU SAID YOU WERE.
AND YOU ACTED LIKE YOU WERE.
Tiffany says, WHAT CAN I SAY?
I LOVE ME SOME DRAMA CLASS.
Salwa says, SO SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE
OUT JUST LIKE THAT?
Tiffany says, YEP, JUST LIKE THAT, POOF.
Salwa says, LISTEN, I'M ONLY ASKING
BECAUSE WE'RE DESPERATE, AND
UNLIKE YOU, I CARE ABOUT MY
FRIENDS AND THE PACT THAT WE MADE.
SO CAN YOU JUST PLEASE PLAY WITH
US AT ZONE SO WE'RE NOT TOTALLY
STUFFED?
Tiffany says, GREAT OFFER BUT I'M GONNA
HAVE TO LOCK IN "NO," OKAY?
AND ANYWAYS, THERE'S A SIMPLE
SOLVE, SALWA. WHY DON'T YOU PLAY?
Salwa says, 'CAUSE I DON'T WANNA
Tiffany asks, WHY?
Salwa says, BECAUSE I RETIRED, BRO.
Tiffany says, OH, LITTLE SPICY.
HIT A NERVE, DID I?
Salwa says, ENOUGH, IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
COME BACK TO TEAM MAHAKI.
Tiffany says, AS FUN AS THAT
DOESN'T SOUND, I'M STICKING WITH
A NO, OKAY? ARE WE DONE? I'VE GOT TO
HIT "UNDO" ON THIS COSTUME.
Salwa says, YEP, WE'RE DONE.
FOR GOOD.
Tiffany tries a locked door. A sign on the door reads “Two-Ten. Lost Property.”
Tiffany says, UGH, TWINNING'S THE WORST!
[Dramatic music plays]
Ms. Crapper asks, GOING SOMEWHERE?
Salwa says, AUGH!

TO HAVE A LITTLE CHAT.
Salwa says, THREE?
Ms. Crapper says, YOU TWO. POST HASTE!
I GREW UP ON A FARM.

Tiffany says, NO, MS., DID NOT KNOW THAT.
Ms. Crapper syas, USED TO HAVE

Salwa says, SOUNDS LIKE IT.
Ms. Crapper says, SO GOOD WE WERE THAT WE
ENTERED THE BONNIE DOON SHOW'S
INAUGURAL FENCE-BUILDING
COMPETITION.
Tiffany says, OKAY...
Ms. Crapper says, BUT ON THE EVE

PULLED OUT, AND LEFT ME HIGH AND DRY.
Salwa says, SO YOU COULDN'T COMPETE?
Ms. Crapper says, OH NO, I COMPETED.
Salwa asks, BY YOURSELF?
Ms. Crapper says, NO.
Ms. Crapper says, ON THE MORNING
OF THE COMP, OUR FAITHFUL LABRADOR,
LARRY, ESCAPED AND I SPENT THE MORNING
SEARCHING THE PADDOCKS FOR HIM.
BLAZEY EVEN CAME ALONG TO HELP.
Tiffany says, WOW, OKAY, DID YOU FIND HIM?
Ms. Crapper says, WE DID, AND WE
BROUGHT HIM HOME.
LONG STORY SHORT, BLAZEY HAD A
CHANGE OF HEART, WE ENTERED THE
COMP, AND WON FIRST PRIZE.
Salwa says, SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IF
TIFF AND I SEARCH FOR A DOG,
THEN WE'LL PLAY?
Ms. Crapper says, NOW THAT I
THINK ABOUT IT, THAT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN THE WRONG
ANECDOTE TO LEAD WITH.
Tiffany says, WELL, BEST GET BACK TO CLASS, MS.
Salwa says, YEAH.
Ms. Crapper, FINE, YOU WANT DIRECT?
HERE'S AN ARROW.
BLOCK STREET WON SASI-WESTS-HAT.

The boy wearing the blue wig asks, WHAT PARADE?
[Upbeat music plays]
Prisha looks down at her notepad.
She says, I THINK I NEED A NEW NOTEPAD.
Salwa says, WE'RE NOT SEEING EVERYONE.
IT'S A WASTE OF TIME.
Prisha says, PRETTY SURE JERRY
SAID EVERYONE.
Salwa says, AS IF HE WOULD MEAN EVERYONE
AS IN "EVERY SINGLE PERSON."
Mikey suggests, MAYBE WE MAKE A SHORTLIST?
Salwa says, HEY, THAT'S GOOD.

SHORTLIST HAS TO BE HECTIC AND SICK.

Kevin says, REALLY? OKAY.
Prisha says, SALWA, SERIOUSLY?
SHOW US YOUR ID, KEVIN.
Kevin says, I LEFT IT AT HOME.
Salwa says, FORGET IT, GET ON THE
COURT, BEVAN.
Prisha says, DO NOT GET ON THE COURT.
SALWA, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.
IT'S AGAINST THE RULES.
Salwa says, STUFF THE RULES.
Prisha says, ZONE RULES CLEARLY
STATE THAT YOU MUST BE ENROLLED

A boy juggles and drops his balls. Viktor and Ivanka walk down stairs behind Tiffany.
Tiffany holds a microphone and says, LISTEN UP,
BLOCK STREET, I'VE GOT A NEWSFLASH
FOR ALL Y'ALL.

FOR ZONE, OKAY.
VANK AND I ARE GONNA PLAY,
VIK'S GONNA COACH.
