LION
Our country has problem people in
the world and we would be better
off if they were no longer a
problem. You’re training was to
eliminate them. You can walk away
at anytime. If you cannot do it;
if it’s against your religion or
just against your judgment, nothing
will be held against you. Just
walk away.
KOBRA
Who are these people and what are
the problems?
LION opens one folder of many and displays pictures of a
man. Horrible pictures of murdered people. Pictures of dead
children. KOBRA gets quietly enraged, stands, walks around
the room, muscles flexing. Turns and looks LION straight in
the eye.
KOBRA (CONT'D)
I’ll do it.
LION
There will be an undisclosed amount
of money place in a bank in Aruba

contribution to the country. If
anything bad happens you can get to
Aruba and live out your life.
KOBRA

taken care of.
LION hands KOBRA a key card with numbers changing on it.
LION (CONT'D)
This is how you will retrieve your
money. We have arranged with your
work that you will be taking a
leave of absence for two days. You
will go to the airport at eight AM
on Monday and go to gate 4E. You
will receive further instructions
at that time. You’re code name has
already been assigned. It’s KOBRA.
KOBRA
Why KOBRA?
LION
Because during your training you
were quick and deadly. You did
things before they were taught
you. Did you have other training
before?
KOBRA
No, just seemed the right thing to
do.
LION
You’ll do just fine. This meeting
is over. (Standing) Just one more
thing; If you are caught, then you
are on your own. We cannot

want to play football?
Tommy picks the ball up and throws it to Lisa. The four of
them begin to play. Pat walks away from the window, but when she returns, Lisa is snapping the ball between her legs and Tommy has his hands down between her legs to take the ball. Pat runs outside and takes Lisa by the hand and leads her back inside the house.
INT. HOUSE
PAT
You can't play football in a dress.
LISA

LISA
But they were teaching me how to
hike a ball between my legs.
PAT
Yes, but they had their
hands...up...your..legs.
LISA
So?
PAT
It's just not lady like. You are
not to let them touch you down
there.
LISA
Down where?
PAT
Between your legs.
LISA
Why not?
She leads her over to the couch and explains.
PAT
Boys are built different than girls

you touch them down there. You
will learn more about it as you get
older.

state high school track relays in search for a few boys who
can run long distances. Lisa growls deeply at the strong
young men in their short shorts and had butterflies in her
stomach. They end up at the University of North Texas in
Denton, TX. Lisa and her dad are having breakfast. He is looking at his notes and shaking his head as if to acknowledge he did not find what he was looking for. We finished our breakfast and headed for the meet. Once inside the stadium, we walked to the center of the field and watch these very handsome young men. Dad walks up to this big ol' Farm Boy. (Kobra)
DAD (CONT'D)
It's a nice day for a track meet
isn't it?
FARM BOY
Yes sir, it's a very nice day.
DAD
How do you think you'll do in the
mile run?
Lisa has listened to the conversation and is mesmerized by
the boy.
FARM BOY
I've been training really hard for
this day. I've been running 20 and
30 miles a day. I think my chances
are pretty good.
DAD
Well good luck and see you at the
finish line.
Farm Boy walks away and Lisa follows him. He walks up to the bathrooms and sees this boy punching and kicking a girl.
Farm Boy jumps between them then pushes the bully. He falls
back and bumps into Lisa.
FARM BOY
What the hell are you doing beating
on a girl like that?
Lisa's heart melts. She falls deeply in love with him.
The boy backs off, but the girl stands up and kicks Farm Boy
between the legs. He goes down to one knee.
GIRL
You leave my brother alone.
She continues to kick him and he stands and pushes her away.
FARM BOY
Go ahead and kick the shit out of
her.
He walks away and leaves the area. The boy looks at Lisa and
and says,
BOY
What the hell do you want?
Lisa grabs his arm, twist it behind him and then rams his
face into the wall.
LISA
Nothing.
As Lisa walks past his sister...
LISA (CONT'D)
That's a fine way to treat the man
that tried to rescue you.
GIRL
Screw you...
Lisa turns and uses her thumb to punch her in her throat.

the middle of the field and falls gently to the ground. She
has a sweet smile on her face. She sits up and see's Farm
Boy walking towards her. She stands so she can talk to him.
He looks up and says...
FARM BOY
Hello
Lisa opens her mouth but all she can do is giggle. Farm Boy
smiles, chuckles and walks on past. Lisa falls to the ground
and is in love.
DAD

Lisa does not react. She doesn't hear him.
