EXT. SPORTS ARENA – ESTABLISHING – DAY
A LAND ROVER DEFENDER, rigged like an expedition vehicle, sits in the vast parking lot outside a sports arena.
Matt steps out of the car and walks toward the main entrance.
INT. SPORTS ARENA – MOMENTS LATER
Matt enters the arena. Sounds of music, instructions being shouted, and exercise going on, further into the hall.
He walks closer to the field. Sees a cheerleading team practicing their dance moves.
One of the team captains, an Afro-American hottie in her mid-20s, notices him and walks over.
AFRO-AMERICAN HOTTIE (KEESHA): Hi, you lookin' for someone?
MATT: Uh, hi, yeah. I'm looking for the best cheerleaders I can find.
She studies him. Chuckles softly.
KEESHA: Nice one. That'd be us. (beat) So, who's the lucky girl?
MATT: What?
KEESHA: You not here to pick up one of my girls?
MATT: No, no, I'm... (stares past her) ...uh, wondering if you had any spots... for a guy...
She gives him an incredulous look.
MATT (points): Like those guys.
Keesha turns around, and they both watch as the guys make some impressive moves, throwing and lifting the girls.
KEESHA: You wanna be like those guys? Like on the team? On our team?
MATT: Yeah, that'd be great.
KEESHA: Right. Now, who you again?
MATT (sticks out his hand): Hi, I'm Mateo, but you can call me Matt.
