PART 1
[In the Kville tent city.]
VANESSA: Hi I’m Vanessa. Tent 41. This is Chip.
KIKI: Hi. Kiki. Tent 119.
VANESSA: Whendja get here?
KIKI: We’ve been here for like 4 weeks. You?
VANESSA: Like, two and a half months. You gotta TV and stove and everything, right? Cause if not, you can borrow ours.
KIKI: Thanks, that's OK. I just do take out.
VANESSA: We also have a masseur on Thursdays. So if you're in the neighborhood ...
KIKI: Thanks. Got one already.
VANESSA: Hard to believe that ten years ago they didn’t even have to camp out at all for the Furman game.
KIKI: No like way!
VANESSA: Yeah. So where you from? I’m from Summitt.
KIKI: Morristown. Born in Chatham; grew up in Morristown.
CHIP: Salisbury.
KIKI: Salisbury? What exit is that?
CHIP: It’s … um … in North Carolina.
KIKI: Oh.
[crickets]
KIKI: So I was thinking of going for Thai. Anyone else?
CHIP: No, Coach K is getting us pizzas, because we’re the 6th man. Y’know, the sixth finger of the fist.
KIKI: I can’t eat that stuff. C’mon, I’ve got my Escalade right around the corner.
CHIP: No, I'm saving my pennies.
KIKI: You’re what?
VANESSA: Chip is … um … on a need-based scholarship.
KIKI: What does that mean?
VANESSA: Kiki, don’t, like, be so, like, insensitive.
CHIP: It’s OK Vanessa. I’m here on a Liddy Dole Scholarship. I only get a modest stipend for food.
KIKI: How like awkward and stuff.
VANESSA: Chip and I are gonna stay and study our cheer sheets ‘til the pizzas get here. Then we’re gonna binge drink and probably hookup.
KIKI: Like awesome! Work hard, play hard! Woo!
--------------------------------------------------------
PART 2
KIKI: O.K., listen up. I’ve got some ideas for the cheer sheets. What do you think of this? When the ref calls a foul on the other team, we grab our crotches and chant “Check your package! Check your package!”
CHIP: I don’t get it.
VANESSA: Me neither.
KIKI: It’s like, check your package. Y’know, it’ll make fun of, like, the ref and stuff.
[silence]
VANESSA: I think you should check with the other tents think. See what they think.
KIKI: The girls at Chi-O loved it.
CHIP: Better check with the other tents.
KIKI: OK, OK. Now what about this one? During a time out, we sway back and forth and sing in a low moan, really slowly, “Be – ware – the – fi – ist” over and over.
VANESSA: I like it. It shows that we’ve all read Coach K’s book and that we’re like part of the fist and sixth man and everything. It’s in keeping with his philosophies.
[silence]
KIKI: He is so deep.
VANESSA: Yeah. I love that whole ‘leading with the heart’ thing.
CHIP: Yeah.
KIKI: Vanessa? Are you crying?
VANESSA: I can’t help it. We are just, like, so lucky to have, like, Coach K as our friend and mentor in life.
KIKI: Yeah. When I graduate, first thing I’m gonna do is have him come speak to my Dad’s company.
CHIP: Cool. I’d love to hear that. Think your Dad would hire me?
KIKI: No, probably not. He only hires from MBAs from Wharton.
CHIP: But he’s hiring you.
KIKI: Like, duh.
--------------------------------------
PART 3
KIKI: OK, I checked with the other tents and they don’t like my ‘check your package’ cheer. But guess what?
VANESSA: What?
KIKI: They totally liked the ‘Beware the Fist’ chant! It’s going on the cheer sheet!
CHIP: Awesome! You’re published!
KIKI: I know, I know. This is my first time.
VANESSA: Freshmen rarely make the cheer sheet authors list. You can put this on your resume. It shows, like, initiative.
CHIP: Super job Kiki.
KIKI: We all agreed we’ll use the ‘fist’ chant coming back from a time out, but only if we’re way ahead. I’ll know more after the production meeting, on game day.
CHIP: Remind ‘em not to start chanting until the red light comes on. Why waste energy off camera?
KIKI: Good point. Omigod! Omigod! isn’t that Wojo? He’s coming this way!
VANESSA: Look at him. I love the way his mouth hangs open. He is so cute. And he’s so bowl-legged. That is totally hot.
KIKI: And the way he wears his baseball hat sort of sideways. Nobody else does that.
CHIP: It’s very hip hop.
KIKI: Shhh. Shhh.
[silence]
WOJO: Ssup?
KIKI: Hi.
[silence]
VANESSA: That was so cool. I think he winked at you.
KIKI: I know. I have to sit down.
VANESSA: Either that or dirt got in his eye.
CHIP: So you girls think he’s good looking?
KIKI: Of course! He’s Wojo.
CHIP: Cause I don’t see it.
VANESSA: There are lots of different kinds of good looking, Chip. There’s the obvious, male model kind of good looking. And then there’s the exotic Steve Buscemi kind of good looking. He has that kind.
CHIP: I heard he dates Jennifer Love Hewitt.
VANESSA: Steve Buscemi?
CHIP: No, Wojo.
KIKI: No, you’re thinking of Quin Snyder.
CHIP: Oh.
VANESSA: Kiki, I think he likes you girl.
KIKI: Hey, I know what. Next time he comes by lets slap the floor. He’d probably love that.
VANESSA: Yeah, lets.
CHIP: He seemed kinda fat.
KIKI: Shut up Chip!
Tomorrow: Kiki gets ready for the game.
--------------------------------------------------
PART 4
Game day 3pm.
CHIP: Me and some other guys are gonna go get painted up for the game.
VANESSA: What, like paint your face blue?
CHIP: Yeah, and my chest.
KIKI: I’m not standing next to you if you don’t have a shirt on. I’m all for having spirit and everything but there is such a thing as hygiene.
VANESSA: What’re you talking about Kiki? When you had front row tickets to Springsteen you loved it when he took his shirt off. He accidentally spit right on you and you practically wet yourself.
KIKI: No offense, but Chip is no Bruce. Bruce is rich and from New Jersey. Chip’s a hush puppy-gobbling snuff dipper from the south. No offense Chip.
CHIP: None taken.
KIKI: I’m gonna be on TV, and I’m not gonna be seen with paint and sweat all over my new Prada .
VANESSA: Oh, you’re wearing the Liz? The one we picked up in Summitt at the mall?
CHIP: The Short Hairs Mall?
KIKI: That’s ‘Short Hills’ Mall, you @#%$!
CHIP: I’m kidding. Besides, I won’t be standing next to you anyway. I’ll be in a line of guys, spelling out the words ‘Sportscenter, NEXT’.
VANESSA: That’s a lot of guys.
CHIP: Actually, there’s only three of us. We’ll each have like five letters painted on us.
KIKI: Won’t that be tough to read?
CHIP: Probably, but we’ve got a good artist. It’s LeRoy Niemann’s nephew, Marcus. He’s in B.O.G. The guy that drives the Hummer. You’ve probably seen it around campus.
KIKI: Which Hummer, the blue one?
VANESSA: I’ve seen at least three different blue ones.
CHIP: No, it’s white.
KIKI: With a stripe or no stripe?
CHIP: The one without the stripe.
VANESSA: With the ‘Deloitte Touche’ Mudflaps?
CHIP: No, that’s a different white one. Marcus’s just has plain mudflaps.
VANESSA: OK, I know which one you mean.
KIKI: I heard they had to move back all the mailboxes on Campus Drive because they kept scratching up all the Hummers.
VANESSA: Those homeowners were very selfish.
KIKI: Yeah, I'm glad they made them move their stupid mailboxes.
VANESSA: So anyway, Chip, which part of the sign are you?
CHIP: I’m in the middle. I’m ‘S-C-E-N-T’.
KIKI: Remind me to get a picture of you after you get painted. Just by yourself. ... Hey Vanessa, check it out. I’m finished with our Wojo Fan Club sign.
CHIP: Oh, come on. Don’t do a Wojo Fan Club sign.
KIKI: Why? He’s part of the fist. We’re supporting the fist.
CHIP: I dunno. It seems like sort of a 'Tiger Beat' kind of thing.
KIKI: Maybe he’s right Vanessa. I don’t want to do anything that’s gonna embarrass the fist. We ARE representing the university and countless alumni across the world, some of whom have put their lives on the line doing dangerous project finance deals on foreign soils.
VANESSA: And others have invented vaccines and medicines and whatnot for the ill and less fortunate. Some have become veterinarians and the like, dedicating their lives to the less human among us. We owe it to them all not be too dorky. At least not on camera.
KIKI: Yeah, O.K.
VANESSA: Hey Chip, I keep forgetting, is it “woo-woo” or “woo-hoo”?
CHIP: “woo-woo”. It’s on the cheer sheet. Study it, learn it, know it. It has to look spontaneous. We’d better practice later.
Monday: Kiki talks to Coach K.
-----------------------------------------------------
PART 5
Game day. 5:00pm.
KIKI: I’m so nervous about my ‘beware the fist’ cheer. This is so exciting. I need to calm down. I’m going back to my room for a spritzer.
VANESSA: You can’t go now. Coach K is gonna come out and talk to us in just a minute.
KIKI: Oh, that’s right. What should we ask him during questions?
VANESSA: Boxers or briefs?
KIKI: That would NOT be funny Vanessa.
VANESSA: I know. Sorry. Let’s ask him about the freshmen, how they’re coming along, etc.
KIKI: Bor – ing. Although some of ‘em are kinda cute. Shelden is in my ‘Sociology of Sports’ class. He gets me hot.
VANESSA: Kiki! You stay away from him. He’s bad.
KIKI: I know. I just can’t help it. I like bad boys.
VANESSA: Sshhh. Coach K is ready to talk.
COACH K: I want to thank you all for being here today. You know, the students here at Duke are special. They are a special part of the specialness of Duke basketball. They make our basketball environment here so very special ….
KIKI: Do you think he dyes his hair?
VANESSA: Probably. I saw him up close the other day and his face is way older than his hair.
KIKI: I don’t care. I like it. It’s just very, very black. It takes the focus away from his nose. So kudos to his fashion consultant.
VANESSA: When I saw him, he was with his wife. I like her. She saved his life, you know.
KIKI: I know. And his won-lost record.
VANESSA: She definitely colors her hair.
KIKI: Oh yeah, big time.
VANESSA: Kiki. You know, just then, you sounded like a guy.
KIKI: What?
VANESSA: Yeah, when you said ‘big time.’ Guys all say that.
KIKI: Shut up Vanessa. How’m I supposed to get inspired by Coach K if I can’t hear him?
COACH K: … makes Duke so “special.” That’s why Duke specializes in special basketball and special education. Thank you very much.
[applause]
COACH K: Questions? … Yes, this little lady down front in the lovely Prada top.
KIKI: Hi Coach. I think you’re doing like an awesome job and everything. I have two questions.
COACH K: Let’s take them one at a time.
KIKI: OK … cool. My first question is … We all know about the fist and leading with our hearts and everything, and we … all the Crazies … try daily to live our lives according to your teachings and everything … But I was just wondering … which part of the fist are we? Because my friend says we’re like the wrist and I say we’re more like the pinky finger.
COACH K: You’re more like … the pinky ring. You encircle the pinky. And that’s important. The pinky likes to be encircled. It helps support the pinky.
KIKI: Oh. O.K. And my second question is … Could you talk a little about how the freshmen are doing and stuff?
COACH K: Excellent question. We have a very special group of freshmen student-athletes this year. They are especially special because …
VANESSA: Omigod he talked to you.
KIKI: I know, I know. I’m like nauseated with excitement.
VANESSA: He said we’re the pinky ring! That is so cool. Because I always wondered which part of the fist we were and now I know.
KIKI: Yeah. Hey, I just had the most totally good idea.
COACH K: … Does that answer you’re question young lady? … Miss? … Are you even [bleeping] listening, you [bleep]?
KIKI: Oh … yeah … I mean … yes. Thanks Coach.
VANESSA: He called you a [bleep]. That is so cool!
KIKI: I know! I’m gonna, like, Q-tip my ears and save it forever.
VANESSA: So what’s this big idea of yours?
KIKI: I want it to be a surprise. I’ll be back in an hour.
Tomorrow: Almost game time
