At Zack and Cody's School

Zack: Ok. You know what we're doing right?

Max and Cody in unison: Right.

Zack: Ready? 3. 2. 1. Go!

Cody walks over to Matt.

Cody: Hey Matt, Max wants to talk to you.

Matt: Ok. I wonder what she wants.

Cody: I don't know. But it's important.

Matt walks over to Max

Matt: You wanted to talk to me Max?

Max: Yeah. I wanted to teach me how to shoot a free-throw.

Matt: A f-f-free th-th-throw?

Max: Yeah. You wouldn't mind would you?

Matt: N-n-no. That would b-b-be f-f-fine.

Max hands Matt a basketball and Matt fumbles it.

Max: You a little nervous there, Matt?

Matt: No. My hands are sweaty. That's all.

Max: Ok… well what do I have to do first?

Matt: Well… first you have to… ummm…

Max: Line up?

Matt: Yeah, line up!

Zack: Hey Matt, bet you can't beat me in a game of 1-on-1!

Matt: Oh yeah? You're on!

Matt and Zack start playing, and Zack scores the first basket.

Zack: Might as well give up now.

Matt: Yeah right, in your dreams.

They continue to play and Matt makes an easy 2 foot shot.

Matt: Oo. Are you feeling the heat?

Zack: Lucky shot.

Continuing to play, Zack makes 2 more shots.

Zack: Oh, how many is that? I would say 3.

Matt: Yeah, and those are the only 3 you are going to see.

Matt makes 1, but Zack makes 1 as well,

Zack: Well, if I make one more, I think I'm going to win, don't you?

Matt: We'll see about that!

Zack makes an amazing 3 pointer.

Max: I thought you could beat anybody.

Matt: Well… see ya!

Matt tries to make a run, but Cody stops him.

Cody: Well let's look at the facts, Matt tells Max that he can play basketball really well, with out showing her. Max wants to learn how to shoot a freethrow, and Matt doesn't even know how to do it. Then Zack kicks his butt at a game of 1-on-1, after he says he can beat anybody.

Zack: You were right Cody. He does have a case of "The New Kid".

Max: You know, you could've had some really great friends, without having to lie about your abilities of any kind.

Matt: I know, but I just thought that if everybody knew that I'm not as cool as other people, then they wouldn't like me.

Cody: If you just be your self, then you can make the best of friends, that's how we met Max.

Zack: With a little help from the "Drew Crew".

Cody: That's beside the point.

Matt: I guess you're right. Sorry Max.

Max: It's ok.
