Opening this weekend: "Shockey's Eleven"



They thought they could push him around without repercussion. They thought he was smart enough to realize he was outnumbered 6-to-1 and not get into a fight. They were wrong.


SHOCKEY: Alright! Fuck THESE assholes! We're going to war! They think I'm gonna let this shit slide? They don't even know! Hey, Rod, you down with getting some sexy vengeance?


COLEMAN: You know it, J-Shock! DeMeco Ryans can suck a fat one!

SHOCKEY: Damn, skippy, brosef. Now, we gotta get the odds back in our favor. I think we need some help.

COLEMAN: You want me to make a few phone calls? Maybe get the O-Line or D-Line together? Kick the shit outta this guy?

(Shockey considers the move, but ultimately shakes his head.)

SHOCKEY: No, we're gonna do it my way. I've had my eye on a few people for just this situation.

(Shockey picks up the phone.)

(JUMP CUT: Saints weight room.)

SHOCKEY: Drew, you want in?


BREES: Absolutely. I feel the need to destroy something. We shouldn't it be the Texans?

COLEMAN: We don't know which hotel they'll be staying at. Think you could get one of them to talk?

BREES: Oh yeah.

SHOCKEY: You certain?

BREES: I have my ways...I'm gonna fire Nerf footballs at the genitalia until they talk.

COLEMAN: That's a little harsh, ain't it?

BREES: Hey, they got it good right now. Wait 'til ole Drew Brees beats 'em with a Nerf Crotchbat.

SHOCKEY: Yikes.

(JUMP CUT: Fairgrounds Race Track.)

SHOCKEY: We need a guy who can front our revenge operation.

COLEMAN: You want in, old man?


BENSON: You want money, guys? I can provide you with my private jet, my private yacht, my own private idaho, you name it...

(JUMP CUT: An old folks home.)

COLEMAN: Heard you enjoy kicking the shit outta things.


THE CARNEY: What's that, sonny? I don't kick shit.

SHOCKEY: No, John, KICK THE SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE! Can you do that?

THE CARNEY: Me? Oh sure. I can also gum somebody to death if need be.

(JUMP CUT: A graveyard.)

SHOCKEY: So, Joe, you think you could scare the shit outta DeMeco Ryan and those Texan dickheads?


JOE: Sure, J-Shock! Not a problem. Who's the black fella?

COLEMAN: Does he know who the president is?

SHOCKEY: No. Might be too much of a shock.

COLEMAN: Fuck's sake. I gotta put up with an outta touch naked ghost for this?

SHOCKEY: Trust me, he'll come in handy. And if he throws his keys at you, just humor him, please?

COLEMAN: Fuck me...

(JUMP CUT: Inside a car. COLEMAN driving. SHOCKEY rides shotgun.)

COLEMAN: I think we need us a confidence man.

SHOCKEY: Huh?

COLEMAN: Con man. Somebody with the appearance of a pathetic loser, but has ice water in his veins. Somebody who can take all sorts of verbal and physical abuse and not crack. And he's gotta have a talent, something that can disarm our mark.

SHOCKEY: I know just the guy...

(JUMP CUT: Inside a dumpster.)

SHOCKEY: You want the gig?


JOEY THE PIANO MAN: Do I?!? I'll do whatever you need! Hey, you gonna eat that pizza crust?

(CUT TO: Back in the car. SHOCKEY drives this time.)

SHOCKEY: Okay, we should have the rest of the guys lined up.

COLEMAN: Who?

SHOCKEY: We need...


SHOCKEY: A distraction...


SHOCKEY: And a hooligan.

COLEMAN: Really? You want the guy who dresses like Master Chief from Halo? AND Ryan Perrilloux?

SHOCKEY: Perrilloux's a loose cannon. And pretty dim. We need somebody stupid enough to fuck up a perfect situation on our team.

COLEMAN: That doesn't make a lick of sense, J-Shock.

SHOCKEY: That's why it'll work. It's too stupid to fail!

COLEMAN: And Master Chief?

SHOCKEY: Dude, Master Chief is one of my 'Five Favorite People' on Facebook. He taught me the one important rule in life: I. NEED. A. WEAPON. Gotta stay ready and focused, Coleman.

COLEMAN: Are you drunk?

SHOCKEY: Not yet. Oh, and we'll have Kim Kardashian's ass running interference for us.

...
...
...
...

COLEMAN: Couldn't score a picture of it, J-Shock?

SHOCKEY: Dude, there ain't enough pixels on this fucking screen for it, brosef.

(CUT TO: Nightclub in the French Quarter. Both Shockey and Coleman are sitting at the bar, nursing daiquiris.)


SHOCKEY: Now that's what I call a team!

(Coleman, leaning against the bar, says nothing.)

SHOCKEY: You think we need one more?

(Coleman remains quiet.)

SHOCKEY: Yeah, we need one more.

(CUT TO: Shockey, Coleman and Brees are standing in a massive loft in the Warehouse District. Dozens of cats are crawling on the furniture and sitting on the shelves.)

SHOCKEY: So, you wanna help us?

BREES: You want a chance to sit at the cool kids' table? This is it.


MORSTEAD: ...

COLEMAN: Man, lets kick outta here, guys. This dude ain't gonna help us.

MORSTEAD: You don't know what real loss is, Roddie! Those Texan asshats messed with the wrong punter!

(The trio exchanges confused looks.)

BREES: Uh, what are you talking about, Tommy?

MORSTEAD: LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO JERMAINE!!!



(The three guys avert their eyes in ghastly horror.)

MORSTEAD: (Sobbing.) Look at him!! LOOK-AT-HIM!! My bloodlust has been stoked, gentlemen!

SHOCKEY: Hey, the fucking punter's onboard! Time to rock and roll, my bros!

MORSTEAD: Wait a second, I'm not ready.

SHOCKEY: Huh?

(Morstead pulls out a giant broadsword and holds it in front of him.)

COLEMAN: The fuck is he doing?

BREES & SHOCKEY: Shit. We know where this is going...

(Morstead dives in the air with the sword. Lightning flashes and a loud boom shatters the glass in the loft.)


MORSTEAD: THUNDERCATS, HO!!!!

(Brees buries his head in his hands. Shockey falls to the floor and laughs hysterically. Coleman is not amused.)

COLEMAN: Dude, what the fuck is wrong with white people?

SHOCKEY'S ELEVEN. A Spike Lee joint.

What Does Joey Harrington Bring to the Team...?

Since the boys at Kissing Suzy Kolber have their hands full talking about Hines Wald, the Double J, Philip Rivers and Tawmmy the Pats Fan, I thought I'd step in take a stab at the news that Joey Harrington has joined the Saints.

(Coach Payton walking through the halls of Saints HQ toward the indoor practice field on a Friday morning.)



Payton: Man, we have got to get our stuff together if we're to beat the Broncos this weekend. Gotta get one more practice in before hopping on the team plane...

(Coach Payton opens the door to the indoor facility, only to find no one there.)

Payton: Shit, where is everybody?

(Elsewhere in the Saints' facility...)



Joey Sunshine (playing piano in the players' lounge): "Sing us a song, you're the Piano Man! Sing us a song tonight! Well, we're all in the mood for a melody! And (I've) got you feelin' alright!"

Mark Brunell: This guy's pretty decent, right Jeremy...?



Jeremy: Um...(sounds of split being swapped)

Mark Brunell: Okay, then...(goes back to snapping fingers in rhythm.) Isn't this fun, Drew?



Drew: Mark, Coach will NOT be happy about this. We're supposed to be gearing up for the Broncos right now. It's likely going to be a high scoring shoot out and we need to be ready.

Jeremy (takes one chick away from the three-way make out so he can speak clearly): No, dude, the DEFENSE needs to get its shit together, bra! The Shock-meister here is prepping the only way he knows how! (Pulls second chick back, continues three-way make out.)

(Coach Payton bursts through the door of the players' lounge.)



Payton: What the hell is going on here?! Drew, we got a game in two days and you're playing grab ass with the offense here!

Drew: I know, Coach, I've been going over game film at home and here. The wife wishes I'd pay a little more attention to her...

Payton: We don't have time for any fancy-schmancy "my wife this" or "my wife that" ... this is the NFL, Drew, quarterbacks HAVE to be leaders! You saw what happened to Tom Brady when he started banging that model?!?

Drew: Yes, sir. But what about Shockey?

(Payton looks over at Jeremy Shockey in the corner.)



Jeremy: Um, that's the stuff right there...

Payton: Looks normal to me.

Drew: What?! He's making out with two chicks at the same time.

Payton: What? Jealous?

Drew: No! Didn't you just tell me to put the wife on the backburner for the good of the team?

Payton: Yeah, you're the quarterback. The field general. The anti-Vince Young. A leader of men. A Captain of Industry. Jeremy's the tight end.

Drew: What about Reggie over there?



Payton: He's the running back with the crazy girlfriend who's supposed to get it together in the end. You haven't seen the script? It's been done in EVERY football movie ever, Drew. You've gotta be the one guy who wants to hold this thing together, almost at the expense of your personal relationships. Hey Reggie, where are you going?

Reggie: I'm flying out right now. Kim's taking me to Denver on her private family jet. We gonna do the freak-nasty the whole way there!!

Drew: Reg, are you sure that's a good idea?

Reggie: Haven't you read the script?

Drew: What script?

Reggie: That book by the Dallas Cowboy guy. He said players were fucking on planes and shit. And they won three Super Bowls. Geez, Drew, and I thought you wanted to win a ring...

Drew: I do! But, do you REALLY have to bang Kim Kardashian on a private jet?

Reggie: Damn right I do! Can't have anybody snapping pics of us and putting that shit up on the internet!



Jeremy: What a second? What's this "having sex on a plane" thing?

Reggie: The Cowboys did it in the 90s and they won three Super Bowls.

Jeremy (scratches beard while making out): I'm intrigued by your proposal, sir, and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter. Come on babes. (Jeremy joins Reggie on the private plane.) We gonna have us a five way, fo show!

Drew: Aw, fiddlesticks!

Payton: Would you look at these two?

(Drew turns around and sees Mark Brunell laying across the piano while Joey Sunshine keeps playing.)

Brunell: "Bring back that lovin' feelin'! Bring back that lovin' feelin'!"

(Drew shakes head.)

Drew: God damn...

(Deuce McAllister sticks his head in the door.)



Deuce: Hey, Coach, I just saw Reggie take off early. Can I practice with the first team today? Pretty please?

Payton: Not now, Deuce, I'm trying to work out a scheme here!

(Deuce slinks away.)

Drew: Christ...I need to go flying fishing.

Brunell: Hey, Joey! Do you know any Third Eye Blind?

Joey: Do I?!?

Joey & Brunell: "How's it gonna be? When you don't know me anymore?!?"
