how’s school going?

(Shrugs his shoulders) Its
good I guess. I’m still not sure if I
want to do powerlifting or wrestling.

leaves and watches Jack)
30Kevin: So which one are your leaning towards?
31Jack:
(scrunches up his face) I guess powerlifting.
I don’t had anything against
wrestling. I just think powerlifting
will help me reach my goals.
32Kevin: (Looks
into the distance) Well, why else do you think Powerlifting.
33Jack: Coach
Barger is the coach of it. I like
him. He is a really good coach. He really seems to want to help.
34Kevin: Those reasons sound valid enough.
You’ve thought of some really good reasons. We’d best be finishing up. 38Your mom will be wondering where
we are. Shell think we are goofing off.
35Jack: (Looks at the house smiling) I don’t think shes going to worry though. (He nods in the direction of the house).

Jack continue sweeping the sidewalk, and then exit stage right.
