CIO: Fair Play

[Scene 15]

(Back at the stadium)

BRETT - We're the CIO. We want to see Lily from Team Dalek.

GUARD - Yes, you may go in.

BRETT - Thank you.

D. MEMBER #1 - Hey it's them.

LILY - Hey guys. W-What happened?

ANNA - The coach (uses her finger to cut her neck).

LILY - Really?? wow! t-thank you!! phew I'm so relieved now.

D. MEMBER #1 - What's going on over there?

LILY - C-Can I tell them?

DEAN - Go for it.

LILY - Guys our coach is dead!

TEAM DALEK - W-What?!! h-he's d-dead!! w-what the heck!!

JENSEN - True story everyone.

D. MEMBER #2 - H-How?? d-did he die??

BRETT - We umm.....killed him.

TEAM DALEK - You what?!

D. MEMBER #3 - How dare you!! I'm calling the police!!

JAMES - Hup! before you do anything first listen. We're not really kidnappers okay! we're from the CIO: Crisis Intelligence Organisation.

TEAM DALEK - (Confused).

JENSEN - We don't destroy for unnecessary reasons, we destroy to protect.

D. MEMBER #5 - W-What did coach d-d-do very wrong?!

BRETT - Anna, play the recording.

ANNA - (Plays the video recording of what happened in the interrogation room. Every athlete is shocked).

D. MEMBER #10 - W-What!! w-w-we're-

LILY - Yes, w-we're all drugged. That's why we've been magnificent today.

TEAM DALEK - (Moaning and panicking).

BRETT - Everyone calm down! I hope you all by now know why we did this to your coach.

D. MEMBER #6 - Salute to you sir! y-you've done a great job. Our sporting career's would've been ruined anytime. More over o-our lives would've been in more danger if this was going on for much longer.

D. MEMBER #16 - You've done a good job CIO. We as a team thank you.

ANNA - I hope you all understand why we had to take drastic measures. We think twice before doing something like this. We considered the fact that your lives and sporting careers are at great risk, the Olympics won't be good for the audience as the results are easily predictable and, it's a shame for the entire nation if the truth was out.

BRETT - Any comments, questions or concerns?

D. MEMBER #20 - We still have our qualifying rounds. W-Will you drop us out of the games?

DEAN - No, we're excusing you all just for now because you were all unaware of this.

D. MEMBER #26 - We don't have our coach with us now, w-who will train us now? g-give us tips and all?

JAMES - That umm...d-don't worry about that. We're going to make those arrangements pretty soon. You'll have your replacement coach by the qualifying rounds, d-don't worry.

JENSEN - Anything else? very well, we'll be taking off from here.

BRETT - Finally one more thing: Don't go about spreading this news to everyone alright? we are the only bearers of the evidence, we don't want press media and other key people bugging us for the evidence all at once. We ourselves are going into further investigation with this case because, it's not over yet. If anyone asks don't tell them unless they keep bugging you, okay?

TEAM DALEK - Okay, thanks!

ANNA - Your welcome. Rest well! and don't worry, we've made arrangements for you all next week to get your vaccines from the doctor here. Two types of vaccines will be given: for the men, your vaccine will lower your testosterone levels. For the women, your vaccine will not only lower your testosterone levels but also give you back your female hormones.

TEAM DALEK - Thank you CIO!

JENSEN - Your welcome. Take care!

[Scene 16]

(Next day morning)

BRETT - (Wakes up and picks up his phone to dial).

ANNA - Hello?

BRETT - It's me, Brett. You remember our plan for today right?

ANNA - Yes.

BRETT - In another hour and so meet me at the Olympic stadium, North Gate. Call and tell the others.

ANNA - Sure, bye! (Dials the others using conference call).

ALL - Hello?

ANNA - In another hour and so meet me and Brett at the Olympic stadium, North Gate. We're going to execute today's plan.

ALL - Got it!

(Everyone gets ready and drives to the Olympic stadium, North Gate).

ANNA - Hey!

BRETT - Hey! are the others on their way?

JENSEN - Hey guys!

JAMES - What's up?

DEAN - Yo yo!

BRETT - Doin' good. Had a good rest last night?

DEAN - Yes.

JAMES - Just, had enough sleep.

BRETT - Okay. Today we don't have much to do, we're just going to repeat the same drill with this Olympic drug police and make arrangements for the replacement head coach.

JENSEN - We'll split into two! you and Dean go for the drug police.

BRETT/DEAN - Got it.

JENSEN - Rest of us will make arrangements for the new head coach. We need the replacement by tomorrow or it'll be too late.

ANNA - Good plan, let's go!

(The team splits into two, now heading to do their jobs)

[Scene 17]

GUARD - Yes sir can I help you?

DEAN - We're the CIO, we want to meet the drug police.

GUARD - Sure, come in. Now just go straight down the hall, third last office to your left.

BRETT - Thank you.

(They go down the hallway).

DRUG POLICE - Yes, come in.

(Brett and Dean enters the office and plops themselves down on a seat).

DRUG POLICE - Yes men, can I help you?

(Brett and Dean give each other an eye contact signal).

DEAN - We're the CIO: Crisis Intelligence Organisation.

DRUG POLICE - Yes, yes, carry on (writing his paperwork).

BRETT - We're doing an investigation, regarding Team Dalek's performance.

DRUG POLICE - (Stops writing all of a sudden, keeps his head down) O-Okay, w-what do you want me t-to do about that?

DEAN - $10 billion.

DRUG POLICE - (Shocked) W-What??

DEAN - The bribe amount which you had accepted.

DRUG POLICE - (Shocked) W-W-What??! h-how do y-you-

BRETT - You think it's easy to just spot the criminals don't you? I'll tell you what, it's easy to spot criminals and black sheep.

DRUG POLICE - (Shocked).

BRETT - (Makes the noise of a sheep to intimidate him more).

DRUG POLICE - (Attempts to throw a pen at Brett).

BRETT - (Reacts and moves his head away) Oh so that's how this is going to work huh?

DRUG POLICE - (Pushes everything off his table and tries to make a run for it).

DEAN - I'll get him!

BRETT - I'll get the car, North Gate.

(The drug police and Dean in a big chase).

DEAN - (While running he comes close to the police, side by side. He kicks the back knees of the police).

DRUG POLICE - (Falls down in much pain. Lays down as if he's willing to surrender).

DEAN - Nice try, punk! (pulls him along and brings him outside the stadium).

BRETT - (At North Gate, sees Dean with the police) Chuck him inside.

DEAN - (Stuffs him in the back of car).

(They drive off).

[Scene 18]

ANNA - (On the phone) Yes we need a replacement coach urgently! the current coach here is unable to stay with the team, his health is serious. You are? okay thank you very much! i-is he well qualified and trained? yes, thank you that'll be great. Your team's qualifying rounds are tomorrow, we need him by then. Thank you, thank you very much. Yes, we'll pick him up, don't worry. Bye!

JAMES - We got 'em?

ANNA - Yes.

JENSEN - Why didn't you just tell them that we killed the guy?

ANNA - Seriously man, I don't want to deal with nonsense talk going for the next hour or so about his death.

JAMES - You could've told them that we have the evidence to back it up. That'll shut 'em up.

ANNA - It's not that easy. If it's here only then it's okay. We're going to be dealing with problems from all three sides: Our investigation, Olympic regulations regarding the coach's presence and riots and mourning in Dalek. Just too much.

TIM - Hey guys what's up?

JAMES - Hey Tim.

JENSEN - What's up?

TIM - I umm....(nervous) want to say something important (giggling).

JAMES - Oh boy, here we go again.

TIM - Anna! w-will you marry me?!

ANNA - (Shocked).

JAMES/JENSEN - (Shocked) The heck??

TIM - I mean come on, you know how many times I've said "I love you" to Anna and things would never work out, I decided to be different this time and go with "Will you marry me".

ANNA - (Pissed, feeling bad for Tim sarcastically).

JAMES - Tim, come here. Sit down. Now then where were we?

TIM - Planning our wedding?

JAMES - Ah yes! Tim let me give you a piece of advice. It's not really advice, it's more of General Knowledge: If "I love you" doesn't work out then "Marry me" won't work either.

TIM - But why? come on! I mean I even wore her favourite perfume today!

ANNA - Oh, you. Wearing my favourite perfume, what is it?

TIM - Lynx, make the girls go Meow!

JENSEN - Jeez man, enough. Right, that's not her favourite perfume!

ANNA - It's Versace, not Lynx. One more thing, don't believe everything advertisements say about these products alright?

TIM - Why would they lie?

ANNA - Because they think these scents attract women, when they don't!! they just make us more cautious about when a guy's about to hit on us.

TIM - D-Did I do that?

ALL - (Nods) Yes.

TIM - Man this sucks. At least does-

ANNA - No Tim, this cat will not go "Meow" no matter how hard you try. It's always a growl.

TIM - Cats don't growl! unless you're a lion, or a tiger, or or-

ANNA - I'm a Tigress.

TIM - Damn girl.

ANNA - Don't even think about it.

TIM - Can I at least-

JENSEN - Sorry, we ran out of tissues. You're most welcome to cry outside!

TIM - (Leaves).

JAMES - Man what is it with this guy?

JENSEN - Can't he just hang out with us for once, y'know like a guy!! spending time with a guy!!

JAMES - Ew...what, are we gay?

JENSEN - You and your sick mind. Stick a soap in your mouth. I'm talking about Man time!

ANNA - What is this "man time" you so call?

JENSEN - It's complicated you girls won't understand.

ANNA - I'll understand when I live a life with my man.

JAMES - Oh really?

ANNA - Yes, he'll just cut me off and say "Oh I've got a party to go to" "Oh I'm all drunk again" "Oh I'm too lazy to clean my room".

JENSEN - You're mocking us?

ANNA - Not mocking, it's the reality. We outgo you in activeness.

JAMES - Oh really?

ANNA - Yes.

JAMES - Start talking.

ANNA - Okay I will. Can you tell me why men are so lazy?

JENSEN - Huh! lazy?! when have we ever been lazy?

JAMES - I know right?? totally a flaw.

ANNA - Oh, what do you call it then when I say you're lazy?

JENSEN - I'll say I'm not lazy, I'm just tired and need a break.

ANNA - Really? you take a huge 16 hour break? what are you? sleeping on a flight that's circling the globe?

JAMES - Listen Anna. In your girls language it's called "lazy", our language it's called an "art".

JENSEN - Good one!

ANNA - An art, how c-can you please explain?

JAMES - Y-You see, when we're taking a huge break like you said we men have what's called the power of imagination. While taking a break we control our imagination to paint pictures, moments and stories in our minds with our eyes closed. When our eyes open in the end, we don't recall what we've just created. The fun part is that you don't need to even try to paint these things in your mind, it just happens once we close our eyes (winks in the end).

ANNA - (Sarcastically) Oh so your huge definition for art is nothing but....dreaming.

JENSEN - (Pissed).

ANNA - Simply just day dreaming or dreaming in sleep am I right?

JAMES - (Pissed, scratching his head).

ANNA - Ehem, what happened? you both broke your fuse box? hahaha!!

JENSEN - (Whispers to James) I ask you to say something that'll freeze her, instead you're freezing us? The entire worldwide association of men is going to spit on you.

[Scene 19]

(At the police station)

POLICE OFFICER - Right then, carry on.

DEAN - Thank you sir, (brings him into the room).

DRUG POLICE - Let go of me! I will not tolerate such acts!! I will report you to the police!!

DEAN - This is the police!

DRUG POLICE - (Silenced).

DEAN - Sit down!

DRUG POLICE - Or else what?

DEAN - (Takes out his gun, and loads it).

DRUG POLICE - Okay okay! I will! don't rush me!

DEAN - Now then, (ties him to his chair).

DRUG POLICE - Oi! I'm already sitting down! why are you tying me to the chair?? what am I? a fragile box?

DEAN - Oh you'll see, we don't want you running away in the end.

DRUG POLICE - Running away in the-?

BRETT - Positions!

DEAN - Right! (turns on video recording).

BRETT - (Eye contact with the drug police) Hmm...you were just minding your own job. You should've just done that right? why on earth would you accept a $10 billion bribe?

DRUG POLICE - (Silent).

BRETT - Oh! (gestures money with his hands) this is why right? answer me!!

DRUG POLICE - (Nods his head quickly).

BRETT - Tell me? what're you going to...do with this $10 billion?

DRUG POLICE - J-Just what o-other people do: Spend it, build a house, become a rich man!

BRETT - Necessities, overrated housing and the belly of a rich boy huh? let me clear one thing with you: That money won't last you a year, wait wait: not even 6 months. Do you know why?

DRUG POLICE - W-Why?

BRETT - You got the money by cash or credit?

DRUG POLICE - Cash of course! what do you think?

BRETT - Hmm...Cash. Now then there are two things you can do with that money: firstly you can hide it in your house and spend as much as you want. Secondly you can put in the bank and spend all you like!

DRUG POLICE - Sure sure, thanks for planning my accounts!

BRETT - Let me finish: I can guarantee you that you'll be getting a letter from your bank asking why you deposited $10 billion all at once, they'll even ask where you got that much money from. They are smart people, they can just search up who you are and conclude by saying your usual salary is nothing but $135,000 a year.

DRUG POLICE - (Swallows his saliva in tension).

BRETT - They'll arrest you, for being involved with black money.

DRUG POLICE - (Lets out a heavy breath).

BRETT - Other possibility is that the Income Tax office finds out that you haven't been spending money lately over the past 6 months, they'll investigate through this and come to a conclusion saying that you're still alive, healthy and working. A warrant will be sent out to the police by them and they'll head down here to search your entire house for money, (whispers) they'll even check your bank.

DRUG POLICE - (Tensed, sweat runs down).

BRETT - In the end, you'll get arrested. You see what I'm trying to get through you? now tell me, is this bribe money a good thing or a bad thing? will you still be able to live a good and problem-free life? how many lies will you scream out to your family about your new-found wealth?

DRUG POLICE - Umm....

BRETT - You won't handle it would you?

DRUG POLICE - Apparently, your possibilities don't apply to me!

BRETT - (Silent) Why may I ask?

DRUG POLICE - Firstly I have a Swiss Bank account: they don't care about how much money I deposit or withdraw.

BRETT - (Silent).

DRUG POLICE - They won't even let the Income tax officers, or even the government to lay hands on my account if it's necessary, do you know why? it's because it's my account! my private account!! something only I can utilize, not the others.

BRETT - Hmm...

DRUG POLICE - My wife and I are divorced! I only live alone! me and my friends next door!! that's my life! alright?! don't think you're so great okay? you're not the world's next avatar: destroyer of all evil. Just because you're the CIO doesn't mean you can do everything perfectly.

BRETT - Ehem! do you know what separates us from you?

DRUG POLICE - Speak up!! you're giving me nothing!!

BRETT - You are in charge of having the teams doing their drug test. Not only that, you're also in charge of checking if their drug tests have been done. That's it! we on the other hand, we deal with problems, huge problems, problems that not only happen here but also connecting from other parts of the world. We plan, serious in a way that we end up 100% successful in the end. We're fit! we're smart! we know each and every move of people like you! and once we've tracked down each and every criminal or black sheep, there is no doubt that he'll suffer by the end of the week. Any questions!!

DRUG POLICE - Hmm!! very good! I-I'm very impressed you could tell me why we're different. I've gone over why I'm clear as crystal, what're you going to do to me huh? huh? huh?

BRETT - Stop recording!

DRUG POLICE - What?

DEAN - Done!

DRUG POLICE - What's going on over here?!

BRETT - Remember how I told you we're smart? we're also well prepared, beforehand!

DRUG POLICE - (Shocked).

BRETT - Let me tell you how our team's interrogation works: We bring people like you into the room, tie you up, we video record what's going on inside here.

DRUG POLICE - V-V-Video record-

BRETT - You heard me! video record. Every single step you said you would take to clear your $10 billion problem is all in our hands. I'm not afraid to send this to the Olympic committee, The Government, Income Tax office or Swiss Bank. Gosh! that's a lot actually, you'll get attacked on all 4 sides.

DRUG POLICE - No. No!!

BRETT - That's not all. Do you know what happens in the end? we finish with a bang!

DRUG POLICE - With a...bang?

BRETT - (Draws his gun and loads it. Points it towards the drug police's head).

DRUG POLICE - Huh! no!! no!! please!!

BRETT - You see the last one is optional. During the interrogation time I give you solutions as if I'm your guiding angel. From then on your fate is hanging off a cliff. You chose not to listen so what does that mean?

DRUG POLICE - No!! No!! No!!!

BRETT - Good night Sheep!! (shoots him in the head) on the bright side, you won't have to face arrests, sacks or court orders after this.

DEAN - What do we do with the recording?

BRETT - Keep it. If anyone asks you can give a copy of the recording.

DEAN - Okay. So now we conclude Day 2 right?

BRETT - You betcha. Gosh, lots of work man. What does it take to tell the accused to go by my solutions?

DEAN - Tell them the disclaimer beforehand?

BRETT - Nah! won't work. They won't mean what they say. They need to make a decision that comes from here (hand on heart) not over fear of death.

DEAN - Right.

[Scene 20]

(At the airport arrival hall)

JAMES - Is he coming?

ANNA - The Athletics Club gave me the coach's number. His flight arrived 30 minutes ago right?

JAMES - Yes.

ANNA - He should've cleared everything by now. I'll give him a ring (dials the coach's number).

R. COACH - Oh what? (picks up the phone) Hello?

ANNA - Hi, this is Anna. I'm told to pick you up. A-Are you here yet?

R. COACH - Ah yes, the Athletic Club told me. Yes I'm coming with my luggage, there was long queue at the immigration.

ANNA - Oh okay.

R. COACH - I'll be coming out shortly. How can I recognize you?

ANNA - I'll be holding a placard written "Dalek Coach".

R. COACH - Right then, see you shortly.

ANNA - Okay.

R. COACH - (Cuts the call) Hmm...that must be them.

JAMES - Anna is that him? he's coming for us.

ANNA - Probably.

JAMES - Dalek Coach?

R. COACH - Yes, Hi nice to meet you! the name's Johnston.

JAMES - James.

R. COACH - Anna right?

ANNA - Yes.

R. COACH - Ah yes. Nice to meet you.

ANNA - You too.

R. COACH - Right then. If you can show me where the restroom is, I have to go really badly.

JAMES - Just there.

R. COACH - Thanks, be back in a jiffy.

JAMES - (Starts suspecting something).

ANNA - What's with you?

JAMES - I'm just thinking. The head coach said they introduced this drugging strategy to everyone in Team Dalek. I'm getting the feeling that even athletes other than the team athletes are being drugged.

ANNA - That's a good point. No worries about that, I searched this coach up. He is a top-notch clean coach. Head of the athletics department at the club. I browsed several drug markets; legal and illegal ones. He hasn't made purchases of drugs. In fact he's one of those coach's that believes in a healthy lifestyle, rather than risky ones.

JAMES - Nice move you made there.

ANNA - Told you women can multitask.

JAMES - When did you say multitask?

ANNA - Oh I didn't mention that? now you now.

JAMES - Gosh Anna. What's with you and being sexist?

ANNA - Ehem, I only said women can multitask. I didn't attack on the men did I?

JAMES - Technically umm......No, no you didn't.

ANNA - Ha!! just got burned by a girl!

JAMES - A girl who's the size of-

R. COACH - Hey, I'm back. Shall we go?

ANNA - Sure.

(The coach and Anna leaves, James stays to finish his line)

JAMES - The hell? I didn't even finish? how come they get to finish their lines and not me? timing (sighs).

[Scene 21]

O. SECRETARY - Sir! Sir! Sir!

O. OFFICER - What! what is it?! w-why are you shouting?

O. SECRETARY - Look at this video recording!

O. OFFICER - What is this?

O. SECRETARY - It's our Drug police! h-he's been interrogated!

O. OFFICER - What?! s-show it.

(Plays the entire video recording)

O. OFFICER - That god damn son of a-

O. SECRETARY - Who are you scolding sir?

O. OFFICER - The drug police obviously! who else? now look! we're going to face a ton of peers if this goes out to public. W-Who sent this?

O. SECRETARY - Brett, a specialist from the Crisis Intelligence Organisation.

O. OFFICER - Okay, he did a really good deed. He saved us from being corrupt. Do one thing, congratulate that agency and keep this to yourself. We'll show this clip to the entire Olympic committee, this will only be between us.

O. SECRETARY - Yes sir.

(Swiss Bank reaction)

S. OFFICER - Oh god! he's trying to corrupt us!

(Income Tax officer)

I. OFFICER - Oh god.

(Back to Dean)

DEAN - Okay is everyone in conference call?

ALL - Yes.

DEAN - Now listen. Don't publicize this okay? it's because the Olympics are going on, the event will be spoilt if this went out. Do your duties quietly so that no one outside takes notice. We've given the players their warning, if this act repeats then we'll allow you to publicize it alright?

S. OFFICER - Sure, but what are we supposed to do? he hasn't deposited the $10 billion into his account yet. What do we do now?

DEAN - For now just keep this event to yourselves. Same goes to the Income tax officer.

I. OFFICER - Got it.

O. OFFICER - Same goes to us?

DEAN - Yes.

ALL - Thank you (drops the call).

BRETT - Done?

DEAN - Yes.

[Scene 22]

R. COACH - Got it? I've made arrangements for your healthy eats.

LILY - (Scared).

ANNA - (Signals towards Lily) Don't worry, he's not evil.

LILY - (Huge relief breath).

R. COACH - Right then, shall we get into training?

DALEK TEAM - Yes!

R. COACH - Right then, now start your warm up 5 laps, followed by stretches. After you're done, wait for my instructions.

(Team heads out onto the track to warm up).

JENSEN - Thanks a lot coach.

R. COACH - My pleasure, it's been my dream to train the national team. I've been waiting for ages to get this opportunity.

ANNA - Well, wish you and your team best of luck.

R. COACH - Right.

(The specialists turn around to leave but then stopped)

R. COACH - Excuse me? could I clarify what happened to the previous coach?

JAMES - (Stammering) H-he um..

ANNA - Coach, he's been killed.

R. COACH - (Higher tone) What!

JENSEN - Shush! keep it down. Don't worry your entire team knows about this. Anna did you get the video recording copy from Dean?

ANNA - Yes, here.

JENSEN - Watch this.

(Coach watches the video recording and is stunned)

R. COACH - C-Coach d-drugged them??

ANNA - Yes. I know it's hard to take this.

R. COACH - W-Who shot him?

ANNA - H-he's one of us.

R. COACH - Well, I on my behalf have nothing to object about this. He was given various solutions to work on so he could be free, pour soul he didn't listen. Well, he got his treatment.

JAMES - I'm glad you understood sir. Don't take this pressure to your head, we've made arrangements for Estrogen and testosterone control vaccines next week.

JENSEN - We've informed the entire team beforehand to resist taking drugs for another week so that the vaccine could be of good use. You have to make sure that not only are they fit and well trained, but also ensuring they have a proper diet, that includes inspecting if someone decides to take drugs.

R. COACH - S-Sure, I can do that.

ANNA - One more thing, don't publicize this news to anyone. This is between you, us and your team. No third party alright?

R. COACH - Yes, definitely.

ANNA - Right then, we'll make our move. Bye.

R. COACH - Bye!

[Scene 23]

BRETT - (Gets a call) Hello?

ANNA - The replacement coach is into action. He's training the team.

BRETT - Did you further check that he's not involved in any drug activities?

ANNA - Yes, he's clean as a paper. Not to worry, we showed him the video because he asked regarding the previous coach's death. We told him to keep it to himself.

BRETT - Good.

ANNA - What are your next plans.

BRETT - Last task, then we're done with this mission. Once you get back, book tickets for us to head to Vaeri. The Dalek Capital Athletics Club is there.

ANNA - Heading for the nutritionist.

BRETT - Exactly.

ANNA - Got it. For tomorrow?

BRETT - Yes. To and fro flight tickets. I want to get this mission done and over with. Make the return ticket possibly two days after tomorrow.

ANNA - Sure.

BRETT - That's it. I'll see you later. Bye.

ANNA - Bye (drops the call). (Looks out into the distance, thinking).

DEAN - Was that Anna?

BRETT - Yes. We're packing our bags for Vaeri tomorrow.

DEAN - Okay.

[Scene 24]

(James, Jensen and Anna reach their flats)

JAMES - I know right? he could've scored the shot in another angle.

JENSEN - I still think he scored it the safe way, they would've lost if it wasn't for his goal leading to a tie.

(Bell rings)

JENSEN - (Opens the door) Tim??

TIM - Uh uh!

JENSEN - W-What're you doing??

TIM - Just have some things to say.

JENSEN - To us? or Anna?

TIM - Both!

JENSEN - Come in.

JAMES - Oh what?? why did you let him in?

JENSEN - Prepare the Men's Association papers.

JAMES - Oh! he's joining the club? finally!

TIM - Anna.

JAMES - Huh? I thought you-

TIM - Do you know how long I've been trying to hit on you?

ANNA - I don't know?

TIM - 3 years! 3 years. You know the pain I go through each day trying to win you over?

ANNA - I hear your crying every night, approximately at 2:30am.

TIM - You Matrix head!! y-you even keep track of when I cry at night?? w-what's wrong with you?

ANNA - Huh? me?

TIM - Then?? Just because you're in an intelligence agency doesn't mean you keep your face like a strict English teacher! come on! be a girl for once! h-haven't you come by love?? even once during your career??

ANNA - Umm..

TIM - Come on speak up?? if you keep track of when I cry at night, why can't you keep track of my love meter??

ANNA - Love meter?

TIM - Never heard of it! it measures love! in shivers/second.

ANNA - Oh.

TIM - Tell me! haven't you ever come by love!! are are you a tomboy!

JENSEN - Oi! I'm watching you from the beginning. Instead of joining the Men's Association you're dealing with black magic! w-what are you thinking! how will they ever become one of us!

TIM - Then? I-I mean just look at her! she appears to be a girl but in the inside her personality is that of Simon Cowell! Seriously girl!

ANNA - Simon Cow- where's that knife! where is it?!

(James comes in between)

JAMES - Now now I know what you're thinking. D-Don't do it! we'll end up in a murder case!

JENSEN - Control yourself Anna! don't-

ANNA - Gah!! (Tackles Tim like a rugby tackle).

TIM - Ah!!! help!! help!!

(Anna and Tim rolling on the floor during the tackle)

JAMES - (Mouth wide open) A-Are you seeing this?

JENSEN - And my mum told me, never watch R rated movies.

ANNA - I won't leave without strangling the living lights out of you!!

TIM - No please please!! I-I have a life!!

ANNA - What life? you spend your time trying to hit on me!!

TIM - No please!! no!!

ANNA - (Slaps him back and forth).

BRETT - (Enters the flat and witnesses this).

JAMES - Oh shit!

DEAN - (Whispers) The heck??

BRETT - (Whispers) What's going on here?

JENSEN - They umm...they did this...and they did that...now they're on the floor.

JAMES - I don't know if it's love or anger. Or both!

DEAN - Alright stop!! everyone!! stop!!

(Tim and Anna get up, panting)

ANNA - (Panting) Brett! Dean!! W-When did you guys come?

BRETT - (Eyes wide open, staring at Anna).

ANNA - Heh?

BRETT - A buh buh buh r-r-right now.

ANNA - D-Don't w-worry e-everything is under control (pinches Tim).

TIM - Ow!!

ANNA - (Whispers) Act cool or you die.

DEAN - What?

TIM - Hmm hehehe?

JAMES - I umm....will be back. Need the bathroom.

JENSEN - M-Me too, I-I need a-a cup of water.

(They both leave the living room)

ANNA - Brett!

BRETT - (Snaps out of it) Yes!! yes?

ANNA - A-Are you okay?

DEAN - (Whispers) I think the real question is: Are they okay? you know what I mean?

BRETT - Shush. W-We're okay, w-we h-had a sauerkraut side dish eat before heading here...

DEAN - The taste is just "kicking in". Really um, quite disturbing.

ANNA - Okay.

TIM - C-Can I go t-talk to Jensen and James? I-I did promise them I'll enter the M-Men's Association.

DEAN - (Confused) W-What??

TIM - Long story.

ANNA - (Yells) Go!

TIM - (In fear) T-Thanks.

[Scene 25]

TIM - (Sees them talking privately in their room) W-What're you guys doing here? (closes the door).

JENSEN - Did you divide the house?

TIM - Joke?

JENSEN - Just saying, I mean, Yeah.

TIM - I did promise you all, Men's Association.

JAMES - R-Right.

JENSEN - (Eye contacts with James back to back).

TIM - W-What are you guys doing? you're acting strange.

JAMES - Ehem, h-h-how w-was the tackle experience?

TIM - D-Don't even think about it! it was horrific!! it was like being slammed down by a wrestler. Well, looks like she's even got the fury and strength of Dwayne Johnson.

JENSEN - (Gulps in fear) D-Dwayne J-Johnson??

(Anna slowly opens the door to see what's going on inside)

JAMES - Uh oh!

JENSEN - (Whispers) What?

JAMES - (Points at Anna).

JENSEN - (Shocked).

TIM - But you know what? at the same time it was a good experience. We've never touched each other before, no hugs, no kisses, no hand on hand or anything like that. Today, straight away we were closer than ever.

JAMES - S-S-Shhh....

TIM - No listen I'm not done-

JENSEN - (Gulps).

TIM - It felt amazing! she made her move first before I could.

ANNA - (Getting angry).

TIM - She fell on me, I got shocked, and then we we're rolling on the floor, and finally in the end she was on top beating the lights out of me. Ah!!! how could this day get any better?

JENSEN - I-It won't actually. I-It'll just get worse.

TIM - How dare you say such thing? what are you a fortune teller?

JAMES - I am, for your information, in a way.

TIM - Oh oh!! you're testing me huh? trying to see if I'm man enough for the Men's Association right?? test me! come on! tell me my fate.

JAMES - (In a fortune telling tone and mood) Tim, Tim!! y-you're fate awaits....once you've turned around!

TIM - Oh, the door! really?? (turns around) Ah!

ANNA - (Expecting Tim).

TIM - (Looks back at James) huh?? n-not so good for me right??

JAMES - What goes around, comes around child!

ANNA - You...bloody-

TIM - N-N-No, p-please!

ANNA - Ah!!!! (throws all the stuff in the room at Tim).

TIM - Ah!!

JENSEN - Throw it at him!! not us!!

ANNA - I will throw it at you!! him discussing this matter and you both eagerly listen to it, shit!! (continues her rage).

JAMES - Ah!!

(In the living room)

DEAN - Oh boy.

BRETT - At it again?

DEAN - Yes.

BRETT - Man, d-do we have to do everything!

ANNA - I'll cause your death tonight child!!

TIM - No!! I'm 23!!

ANNA - Oh that's my favourite number.

TIM - Really? see, something in common.

ANNA - Not anymore!! Die!!

TIM - No No!!!

BRETT - Guys!! break it up! break it up!! (Splits them all apart). Seriously?? I come back here to check on you and this is what I see? a Chimpanzee emporium??

ANNA - H-He started it!! you know what that thing said about me??

BRETT - W-What did you call her.

TIM - I-I don't remember.

ANNA - You don't remember!! I-I'll kill you!!!

BRETT - Calm down! please!! gosh, what did he say?

ANNA - He said I'm Simon Cowell on the inside!!

BRETT - Heh? (looks at Tim) really??

TIM - (Looks down, feeling ashamed).

ANNA - I started calming down, that was until I came here to get my stuff. This guy, after getting thrashed, talked about how that tackling moment was most romantic!!

BRETT - Heh? Really?

TIM - (Heavy breath).

BRETT - Tim I think you overdid yourself today. You can go now.

ANNA - B-But I need to kill him!!

TIM - I'll call the police!!

ANNA - We are the police!!

TIM - (While running away) No you're not!

ANNA - That son of a troll!! jeez! after a ton of work I end up with this thing!! unbelievable!!

BRETT - (Walks her to the living room) Alright he's gone okay?? nothing to worry about, how about some apple juice? Dean get a cup of apple juice.

DEAN - Sure.

BRETT - Now then, e-everything alright??

ANNA - (Panting) Yes, t-thank you, and you two!!

JENSEN - Gah.

ANNA - If I see you hanging out with that troll. I won't even spare an hour, I'll skin you both and have it as a production line for new clothing!!

JAMES - Eh! (Covering his body).

JENSEN - (Feeling uncomfortable).

ANNA - Gosh! g-guys are just...Rrrr!

DEAN - Not all guys are trouble, I mean, we're not right?

ANNA - Yes, you're both not.

DEAN - See? what did I tell you?

ANNA - Yet!

BRETT- (Shocked) eh!

ANNA - D-Don't try and think such things! I may be a girl, you saw what happened there didn't you? I'll do it to you too!

DEAN - You're going to harass us? normally men do that-

BRETT - Shush! damn.

ANNA - Mind it, I'll be in the shower! (leaves).

BRETT/DEAN - (Breaks down laughing) Hahahaha!!!

BRETT - Oh man! oh man!!

DEAN - C-Can't take the laughter hahaha!

JENSEN - Eh?

BRETT - I guess next time she'll be like, "do that again, and I'll kiss you!" hahaha!

DEAN - M-Maybe even "I'll take you on a date if you do it again!" hahaha!

JAMES - Gah!

ANNA - Ehem.

BRETT/DEAN - (Stopped laughing).

ANNA - Hmm....haven't left yet boys. Even if I do those stuff, I'll kiss you with poison lipstick and take you to a date at the cemetery.

DEAN - (Gulps) C-Cemetery?

ANNA - (Leaves).

BRETT - Well, it was fun while it lasted.

[Scene 26]

(Anna's on the computer booking tickets)

ANNA - Guys, Dalek Air business class?

JENSEN - Sounds good. How much are the tickets?

ANNA - $100 per person.

BRETT - Book it.

DEAN - Are you kidding? that's a lot!

BRETT - Just do it.

DEAN - You mad! it's like expensive.

BRETT - Where do we need to go?

DEAN - Dalek.

BRETT - Are we on a business trip or vacation?

DEAN - Business of course.

BRETT - Business class, got it?

DEAN - I see.

JAMES - Dean why are so conscious about our budget?

DEAN - If we run out of money because we spend them on unnecessary flight tickets than how do you expect us to buy what we need during the end of our mission?

JENSEN - Like what? if we save up our money? what are the needs that we're going to spend it on?

DEAN - Well for starters the country's currency, so foreign exchange. Hotel fees, food and water-

JAMES - Underwear, swimsuit, nail polish, keep on going.

DEAN - Joke?

JAMES - Then? you're listing the things as if they're our only hope for survival.

DEAN - Because they are?

BRETT - Are we primitive?

DEAN - N-No but-

BRETT - End. Dean we know what you mean, our overall budget for this to and fro trip is $1600. $1000 for our to and fro tickets, and $600 for what we're spending there.

DEAN - Hotel?

BRETT - Covered, just $100.

DEAN - Which hotel?

BRETT - Starlux Hotel.

DEAN - Wow guys, always going for the expensive choices. Business class, a grand hotel, what's next? an auditorium?

BRETT - Yes actually.

DEAN - Oh boy.

BRETT - You booked it Anna?

ANNA - Yes, I'll go print them out.

DEAN - Man, this world just needs 100 people like you to accomplish a continental debt.

JENSEN - Haha very funny.

JAMES - Can I go outside and laugh?

DEAN - No, you can smear your face with cement and try laughing.

JAMES - Huh?

JENSEN- Burn!! he got you good!

(Jensen and Dean high five)

JAMES - Amazing, first we were all against Dean. Now I'm cornered.

BRETT - Eh No. I mean come on you've got to give credit, he made an argument against all of us and he got you back real good.

JAMES - Now that I think of I really want to cement your face!

DEAN - Go ahead, make sure you do yours before me.

BRETT - Oh!!

JENSEN - Double burn!!

JAMES - Damn this, my whole life's a lie.

BRETT - Or is it?

JAMES - Well? is it?

JENSEN - (A fortune teller's voice) James, James!! yes it is. Hahaha!!

BRETT - Hahaha!!

JAMES - Very funny, trying to mock me ay?

DEAN - Just the way things work around here.

JAMES - Gah I quit! I'm getting some apple juice! (goes for the fridge).

BRETT - May the juice be with you my friend. Hahaha!!

DEAN - Good one.

(James throws a pen at them)

BRETT - Gah! damn, talk about rage quitting.

[Scene 27]

R. COACH - Alright team! that was a good training session today. I hope everyone's all done and dusted and ready for tomorrow's qualifying round.

TEAM DALEK - Yes.

R. COACH - Good. Here I've made arrangements for food, here they are.

TEAM DALEK - Ooh.

R. COACH - Part of my job as a coach is also ensuring that you all have a healthy diet, and that's for each individual, not just the team as a whole. I'll make arrangements for each and everyone's meals based on your performance during training. Say for example Lily lacks in strength, I would designate a meal for her which will help build up her strength in particular.

LILY - (Whispers) Loving it.

R. COACH - Your assigned meal will have your name written on the foil covering. Help yourselves. Once you've finished, feel free to talk amongst yourselves. Keeping cautious of time, I want you all in bed by 10:30pm.

TEAM DALEK - Sure Coach!

R. COACH - Right then, I'll make my move.

(Team Dalek goes for their meals)

R. COACH - (Leaves the room. Goes and inspects the athletes' room, to check for drugs. Finds them in the clear and feels much relieved).

ANNA - (On the phone) Hello?

R. COACH - Hi it's me, Johnston. Training session went well, I can see them settling into their usual physical and mental states.

ANNA - Phew, glad to hear.

R. COACH - I just inspected the athletes' room, to check for drugs. They're all in the clear.

ANNA - You're doing a good job coach, we fully support you and your procedures. I hope your team puts on a good show tomorrow.

R. COACH - Yes, thank you! hopefully our true colours can shine well.

ANNA - Okay, bye! best of luck.

R. COACH - Thanks for all your help and support!

ANNA - (Drops the call. Organizes the trip documents/booking papers).

[Scene 28]

(Next day morning)

BRETT - (On the phone, conference call) Let's move.

(Everyone gets ready for their flight)

DEAN - (On the phone) I'm in the taxi, which terminal?

ANNA - Terminal 3.

DEAN - Driver! terminal 3.

DRIVER - Yes sir.

JENSEN - (On the phone) Just got into the taxi.

BRETT - (On the phone) Right! is everyone connected?

ALL - Yes.

BRETT - I'll meet you all at terminal 3, be there by 7:30am.

JAMES - Got it.

BRETT - Which check-in counters apply for Dalek Air?

ANNA - Let me check (checks the flight booking document) counters 6 to 9.

BRETT - Right, like she said we'll meet where those counters are alright?

ALL - Yes.
