All
staring at him with complete repugnance, open-mouthed.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. LACROSSE FIELD (MSU) - DAY
Oz is playing in the final lacrosse game. The team
scores -- they're beating Central. Everyone cheers,
except Oz. We see Jim and Kevin in the stands, CHEERING.
EXT. MUSIC HALL (MSU) - DAY
Establishing. The campus of Michigan State University.
Students pass in front of an older, impressive university
building.
A sign out front reads, "MICHIGAN STATEWIDE VOCAL
COMPETITION."
INT. BACKSTAGE (MSU) - DAY
Heather and the rest of the vocal jazz group are behind
the curtain.
They all wear flashy, borderline cool outfits. Heather
looks worried, lost. Looking to the door, as if Oz might
come running in.
VOCAL JAZZ TEACHER
Okay. Albert, you ready?
ALBERT steps next to Heather. He's kind of funny-
looking, with an overly-suave attitude that comes off as
plain weird.
ALBERT
No problemo.
He SINGS a couple lines. Way too melodramatic and
cheesy. Heather looks trapped.
EXT. LACROSSE FIELD (MSU) - DAY
A scoreboard shows that East is leading by five goals.
Oz is running up the field, towards the goal, cradling
the ball in his stick. He seems to have a good lead.
Suddenly he is tumbling, falling, losing the ball.
Someone has checked him. He lays stunned on the ground,
as Stifler recovers the ball and scores.
The players run back to the sidelines to reset for the
face-off, and gather around the coach.
COACH MARSHALL
Alright! Good hustle, guys, but we
can still lose. You all saw what
happened to Oz out there. I don't
ever want to see you guys
thinking
you're gonna score. You don't score
until you score, period.
The team is getting into it. Shouts of "Hell yeah!" But
Oz's got a quizzical look on his face.
INT. BACKSTAGE (MSU) - DAY
Heather waits with the group to go onstage. Albert paces
like a Shakespearean actor, psyching himself.
ALBERT
Focus on the music. Think melody.
Let the music be my guide.
HEATHER
That would be a start.
EXT. LACROSSE FIELD (MSU) - DAY
Oz shows some emotion peeking through. Confused.
COACH MARSHALL
It all boils down to today. For you
seniors, this marks the culmination of
your past four years. Think of what
that means to you. Are you guys gonna
look back on your days at East and
know that you made the most of the
time you had?
A wave of realization washes over Oz. He stands up tall.
COACH MARSHALL (cont'd)
Now that's the attitude, Ostreicher!
Oz collects himself. Takes a deep breath.
OZ
Good luck, guys.
he sets his lacrosse stick down and starts to leave.
COACH MARSHALL
Christ! I didn't say you were out of
the game!
OZ
Sorry, coach.
COACH MARSHALL
What the fuck is this? You got
someplace more important to be?
Coach Marshall is fuming. The entire team is staring at
Oz.
OZ
Yeah.
He runs off.
ANGLE ON JIM AND KEVIN IN THE STANDS
A beat of confusion. Then they stand up.
EXT. MSU CAMPUS - DAY
Oz runs through a gate.
INT. BACKSTAGE - DAY
The vocal jazz group is on their feet, lined up, waiting
to go onstage. Oz bursts into the room, still in his
lacrosse gear.
VOCAL JAZZ GUYS
Oz -- You're back -- Yeah --
ALBERT
-- Oh, great.
Oz rushes up to Heather. She's happy but confused.
HEATHER
What about the game?!
OZ
I'm not playing.
HEATHER
You're missing the game for us?!
OZ
No. I'm missing the game for you.
Heather melts. Oz pulls her close. And they kiss.
VOCAL JAZZ TEACHER
Okay, okay. You guys got about a
minute to go. Spend it warming up,
not making out. This ain't the prom
yet.
Oz and Heather share a smile.
INT. MUSIC HALL STAGE - DAY
The vocal jazz group is belting their hearts out, singing
"How Sweet It Is." Oz sings with them now in his vocal
jazz outfit...we TILT DOWN to see he's still wearing his
cleats. He and Heather sound great, backed by the vocal
jazz group. They sail through their duet, join hands,
and finish perfectly. The audience APPLAUDS with
enthusiasm -- and we Kevin and Jim, WHOOPING AND
CLAPPING, loving it, like they're at a rock concert.
JIM
Yeeeeeeeaaaawwwwww!
KEVIN
(gives that "You rock!" hand
sign)
You fuckin' rule!
INT. EAST GREAT FALLS - CLASSROOM - DAY
Class has just ended, students are filing out of the
classroom. A teacher grades papers in the back of the
room, routinely writing "A, A-, A, A-" on each paper.
Vicky is studying a pull-down map hanging over the
chalkboard. Kevin comes up next to her.
KEVIN
Hey...
VICKY
Did you know that it's...450 miles
from Ann Arbor to Nashville?
KEVIN
It's like a six or seven hour drive.
That's easy, I don't mind driving.
A beat. Kevin looks back over his shoulder to the
inattentive teacher. Moves closer to Vicky.
KEVIN (CONT'D)
About the other day...I've been
thinking.
VICKY
So have I. And I know you want to
make things perfect for me. And I
understand that you really wouldn't
tell me that until you were 100%
comfortable with it.
Vicky looks over to the teacher, who COUGHS. She steps
closer. Kevin, somewhat nervous, takes the bottom of the
map, fidgeting with it a little.
VICKY (CONT'D)
And I want to make things perfect for
you. You're right, Kev, we do have
something good...and special.
KEVIN
Yeah, we have something great, Vick.
VICKY
Kevin...
(very close, whispered)
I want to have sex with you.
The map goes FLAPPING upwards. The teacher looks up.
KEVIN
(almost frightened)
Now?!
VICKY
No...I know the perfect time...
She looks to the calendar on the wall...and taps next
Saturday -- "Prom." Kevin can't believe it...MUSIC UP
for PRE-PROM MONTAGE --
INT. TUXEDO LAND - DAY
Jim is trying on a tux. he shrugs, like it fits well
enough.
He turns to see Oz trying on his -- Oz is fidgeting,
trying on different ties, vests, shoes, very sincere and
focused.
INT. VICKY'S BEDROOM - DAY
Vicky is trying on a rather elegant dress, looking to
Jessica for support, showing it off. Jessica jokingly
does the same, showing off her shorts and T-shirt, as if
she could care.
INT. EAST GREAT FALLS HIGH - COURTYARD - DAY
Finch sits alone. Not like alone. More like Forrest
Gump.
INT. TUXEDO LAND - DAY
Jim is paying for his tux. We see Oz trying to decide on
a cumberbund. There are about ten of them scattered
around him that he's already tried. In the background,
an ATTENDANT looks impatient.
EXT. EAST GREAT FALLS HIGH - COURTYARD - DAY
Finch still sits. His head is cocked at a different
angle.
INT. JIM'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY
Jim's dad fixes Jim's bow tie.
INT. KEVIN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT (END MONTAGE)
Kevin is in his tux. He's staring at himself in the
mirror.
EXT. EAST GREAT FALLS HIGH - NIGHT
The parking lot is full. VARIOUS FORMALLY DRESSED
STUDENTS make their way into the school. One group piles
out of a stretch limo. We see a STEALTHY STUDENT slip a
bottle of liq
