INT. MED SHOT – CARLOS' HOME LIVING ROOM – GUYS - NIGHT

The guys are playing games.

CARLOS
So what are we going to do about band policies?

HECTOR
I'm not budging on the distribution of songs.

RAPHAEL
Definitely confirm the gigs before we go there.

CARLOS
Asking about safety features. That country bar still haunts me.

HECTOR
I f we have to dress down, I'm running.

RAPHAEL
If we have to dress up, I'm running.

CARLOS
So any bar that we can't decide what to wear is off the list.

HECTOR
So safety issues, costume policies, and bad music selection are the areas where
will refuse to play there. Oh, and a minimum crowd of 100.

CARLOS
Sounds good to me.

RAPHAEL
So now I can go back to kicking your butt?

CARLOS
My butt was not the one being kicked.

They go back to the game.

EXT. LONG SHOT – FREEBORN STADIUM – STAGE

The stage is in the middle of a small stadium.

The guys walk out onto the stage.

CARLOS
This is going to be fun to play in.

RAPHAEL
So...we're the halftime show?

HECTOR
Yep. Us and one other band.

CARLOS
I don't like the sound of that.

HECTOR
Then I won't tell you the band's name.

RAPHAEL
Let me guess: If you told me, you'd have to kill me?

HECTOR
Why do you always go for the violent response?

RAPHAEL
Because it's fun?

CARLOS
You guys just get weirder every day.

RAPHAEL
But that's the way you like us.

HECTOR
I don't know. I could trade you guys for a bearded iguana.

Carlos and Raphael stare at Hector.

HECTOR
Bearded iguanas are cool.

Carlos and Raphael hit him on the back of the head.

HECTOR
Sorry. I didn't know we were having a sensitive moment there.

They walk off the stage.

INT. LONG SHOT – GREEN ROOM – BOTH BANDS

Hector and Helen are snuggling.

Raphael and Helliodora are feeding each other.

Carlos and Abigail are playing a game of intense foosball.

Antonio enters.

Antonio WHISTLES

Everyone's attention is on Antonio.

ANTONIO
Okay. This is it. Just get out there, play your five songs, and then get off the
stage. No surprises, and don't do anything too weird. Just do what you do and
let's not have any problems. Okay?

Each pair looks at the other.

ALL
Yes, Coach!

Antonio's eyes roll.

ANTONIO
And this why I had none of my own.

Antonio leaves.

The kids separate into their different bands.

The girls leave first.

CARLOS
Do we have to what he says?

RAPHAEL
It would be a nice change.

HECTOR
Yeah. Like you two would change.

CARLOS
Good point.

Carlos and Raphael jog off.

HECTOR
That wasn't a suggestion. Well, not that way.

Hector jogs to catch up to them.
