"Judgement Day"
Written by Michael McGreevey
Directed by Oz Scott

With 
Lou - Dick Miller

Scene: Lou's Lanes: at night

Leroy enters the darkened bowling Alley.

Leroy:

Hey Guys I don't have time for this.
Where are the lights in this place?

The light come on revealing
all the students & teachers
from the school.

Everyone:
Surprise!

Leroy:
What is all this about?

Mr. Dyrenforth:
It may have slipped your mind but
12 months ago you decided to become a teacher!

A big cake is brought forth with
"Happy Anniversary Leroy" written in icing.

Everyone:
Happy Anniversary Leroy!



Music is playing , everyone is laughing,
dancing and having a good time.
Leroy makes his way through the crowd,
dancing happily with all his friends.
Ian is sitting on a bar stool, chatting
and strumming his guitar.











The owner, Lou introduces himself to
Mr. Shorofsky - the music teacher.

Lou:
Mr. Shorofsky so we finally meet!

Mr. Shorofsky:
Lou Mackie, it's a pleasure Sir.

Lou:
Yeah, I hear we have a lot in common.

Mr. Shorofsky:
I've been meaning to get
over here and try out your lanes.

Lou:
Oh I wasn't talking about bowling.
You're into classical music right?

Mr. Shorofsky:
You like Classical music?

Lou:
Oh yeah, I wish that I could get Chris
to do some of that here but y'know - teenagers.
If it ain't rock and roll it ain't nothing.

Mr. Shorofsky:
I have exactly the same problem in school.
You see that young man over there with the guitar?

He points over to where Ian is sitting.



Lou:
Yeah - The English kid.



Mr. Shorofsky:
He could be a great guitarist if he'd
only apply himself. But he's more
interested in Eddie Van Halen than Sikovia.


Lou:
Gee, I'd love to have him play some
classical things here.
Does he know any Patti Paige?






Scene: Mr. Shorofsky's Class

Ian finishes beautifully playing a classical
piece on his guitar.


He then, twists the end into
a rock finish. Mr. Shorofsky
clearly unimpressed
tries to get him to stop.












Mr. Shorofsky: <shouting>
Mr. Ware! Mr Ware!



Ian stops.








Would you like to tell me
what that display was all about?










Ian:
I was just improvising to
liven things up.










Mr. Shorofsky:
Mozart is not lively enough for you?










Ian:
Well.....








Ian leans over on Shorofsky's desk











It is a little boring isn't it?











Mr. Shorofsky:
How about that noise or
whatever it is you just played?
That's not boring?









Ian:
Not to me it isn't.











But to each his own right?











Mr. Shorofsky:
Mr Ware, now I don't want you to
misunderstand me.










I'm all in favor of
artistic freedom.









But as long as you're
in my classroom -







you will play the
music the way it was written.

Understood?









Ian:
Yes, Sir.

Chastised, Ian picks up his music,
guitar and leaves.
