EXT- GRIDIRON ENDZONE- NIGHT

Opening scene

A collision is about to happen. Two football players, wearing out of this world pads, are in slow motion about to collide. They hit. Sounds of pads crack!

INT- BEDROOM- MORNING

TANK awakens from his dream next to his very attractive wife. He starts his morning routine.

EXT- SUBURBIA- MORNING

TANK is jogging down the street. He passes two house wives jogging. They stare him down like a piece of meat. He says hello.

He jogs in front of his old high school, WJHS. He has flashbacks of Peewee Football; he scores a touchdown.

A passing car honks at him out of respect, he waives back.

He then has a flashback of playing football in high school. A shot of him from behind reveals his last name, TANK. He is taken back to his old State Championship Game his senior year. He makes an incredible play on the football and picks six to the house. VICTORY! The stadium roars!

TANK makes it to the high school stadium bleachers. He stops and looks up at them. He has a flashback. It takes him to the big apple, New York City. He receives his Heisman Trophy, as his high lights play in the background.

TANK does a few sets of bleachers and finishes with box training. He buys a power bar and Gatorade and consumes them both. He starts his jog back home, and then arrives at his house. His wife greets him with a kiss.

INT- LOCKER ROOM- MORNING

TANK arrives and is the first player in the locker room. His COACH approaches him and asks him about the upcoming game.

COACH

Well TANK I have to say that I am pretty bummed your leaving me next season. Our office is promising big things for this organization next season and I wish you could be a part of it. I want you to know I’ve loved you like a son these past 14 years, and these fans love you too. You took this team to greatness twice and that will never be forgotten. Now I want you to go out there today and have some fun. Knock some dicks stiff, what do you say?

TANK

You bet your ass COACH. I’m playing lights out today. I just tweeted that I’m guaranteeing a victory! I have put it all on the line, time and time again for this city, and after we win tonight, I’m going to look at this crowd and know that I gave them my all in my last game ever.

The other players begin walking into the locker room. COACH shakes TANKS hand and heads back to his office. The assistant coach hangs up the itinerary until kickoff. The other players come and talk to TANK. They love him very much. They wish him the best and let him know they have his back. They will WIN!

EXT- STADIUM- EARLY EVENING

The clock reveals that there is only 4 minutes left. Good guys are up by 2 points while the bad guys have possession and are driving for a field goal for the win. Despite TANK and his team’s efforts, nothing is slowing them down. The other
