(ESTABLISHING SHOT: Moon Unit Hotel)

(Cut to the interior. KIM is eating breakfast in her room. The Kimmunicator beeps)

KIM: Good morning, Wade. What's the sitch?

WADE: We have a problem. Well, to be more accurate, Ron has a problem.

KIM: What's wrong?

WADE: Okay, I was reviewing the security tapes so I could get Ron his stats for the team-

KIM: Wasn't that Ron's job?

WADE: Yeah.

KIM: Then why didn't he do it?

WADE: They move too fast for him. Anyway, I was reviewing the tapes, and I happened to catch a little bit of the team leaving.

(WADE pushes a button. He disappears from the screen and is replaced with a security tape from the previous day. RON gets on the team bus, which pulls away. Out of the shadows, a few figures follow the bus)

KIM: What's that?

WADE: (OC) Hold on.

(The image closes up on the leading figure, MONKEY FIST)

KIM: Oh my gosh! Monkey Fist?

(WADE returns to the screen)

WADE: Yeah, and his legion of Monkey Ninjas.

KIM: We have to warn Ron.

WADE: I don't think that's such a good idea.

KIM: Wade, Ron is being pursued by a crazy monkey man and some monkey ninjas, why shouldn't we warn him?

WADE: Because he'll panic, and if he panics he'll be a sitting duck.

KIM: Gotcha. So, what do we do?

WADE: You'll have to cut cheerleading practice.

KIM: Okay. Where's the team going?

WADE: Gretski High School, Upperton.

KIM: Great, that's half and hour away. When does the team get there?

WADE: They just got in.

KIM: I'm on my way.

(KIM turns off the Kimmunicator)

(Cut to Stevens Manner)

(Cut to the interior. RON sits at a table in his room, on the phone)

RON: Uh huh. Uh huh. Great. I owe you, Wade. How do I get the- you'll upload them onto the palm pilot? How can you do that? (Beat) Professional Secret? Um, okay. How long will that take? (Beat) Ten minutes? Great. I owe you so big, Wade.

(RON hangs up. A knock is heard. RON answers the door. JILL and another girl (SANDRA) are at the door)

RON: Oh, hi, Jill.

JILL: Hi, Ron. Listen, Sandra and I have a stat question-

RON: Okay, I know what you're going to ask: in yesterday's game did you shoot 41 shots or 42? Well, to tell you the truth in the whole excitement of the game I kind of lost count. So, let me ask you, do you gots to know... right now?

SANDRA: Yes, we gots to know. Right now.

RON: Um, well, you shot, um, ugh... 42!

JILL: (To SANDRA) Told you. (To RON) Thanks, Ron.

RON: Don't mention it.

(RON closes the door)

RON: I hope I was right. I so hope I was right.

(Cut to the highway. MONKEY FIST and his MONKEY NINJAS walk down the road. They pass a sign which reads, "Gretzki High School- 10 Miles")

MONKEY FIST: Patients, Monkey Ninjas. Patients. The Monkey Hates will be in our grasp soon enough.
