I refer you to the prologue.
INT. KICKBOXING ROOM AT BALLY'S - DAY
EMILY and TRAINER square off. Emily has on size 14 blue Everlast hook and loop boxing gloves and her hair is in pigtails. Her outfit is comfortable but perfectly matched.
Trainer is way too hot to be working at this ghetto ass gym with his hair all spiked up. He holds a long pad in front of him. The stuffing pokes out of the sides of the pad.
Emily takes a drink of water from her sports bottle by flipping it up with her gloves. She is already sweating in her pastel tank top and Gap Body pants.
A song by Bowling for Soup plays in the background.
TRAINER
We're working on the inside now, okay? Get yourself off.
EMILY
(giggling)
Oh that's dirty.
Trainer makes a face. No more screwing around.
TRAINER
Ok go.
Emily moves around. She jabs and throws a solid cross.
TRAINER
Good!
Trainer advances, pushing against Emily with the pad.
Emily jabs but it's too late. She pushes against the pad but she's leaned back too far to get any leverage. She tries to crouch and work with her uppercuts but Trainer pushes her against the wall. She is cornered.
TRAINER
Punch out of there! Get away!
EMILY
Ahhhh!
Emily tries to punch but can't find any room. Her hands are down and she looks out the glass door for rescue. Trainer has her completely pinned.
TRAINER
Find a way out!
Emily turns to the side to make a run for it, but Trainer is too close. Emily cannot escape.
EMILY
Help!
TRAINER
Find a way out!
EMILY
Yelling 'help' isn't a way out?
TRAINER
No.
Emily sighs and turns back to Trainer but she is at this point completely helpless against his manly muscles.
He breaks off and turns to face her.
TRAINER
Okay. Roundhouse.
Emily kicks the pad extra hard and shouts extra loud. She steps back and waits for the lecture. Trainer puts down the pad.
TRAINER
Clearly we need to work on your inside game.
Can't you just kick him in the balls?
ReplyDeleteIf you read the prologue you know I did that last time. He got wise. He hid his man parts behind the giant pad and pushed in to close for me to get my leg up.
ReplyDeleteYou're pretty screwed if he's hiding the jewels from ya now.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I've been giving it some thought, and between Writing Partner, Lead Actor, and Personal Trainer - you have a lot of hostile men in your life.
Have you given any thought to maybe befriending gay men for a while? It's all the rage now days.
I have gay friends. They're still kind of hostile.
ReplyDeleteActually, I think it's my hostility. I sort of project it like a lighthouse. Everything within the beam gets a little more aggressive on contact.
Grrr...
ReplyDeleteArrrrgg...
