GARRY is sitting in center field. LANDON approaches with his parents, MARTHA and STEVEN.
GARRY
Hello Landon. You two must be Landon’s parents.
MARTHA
Actually, I’m his mom.
GARRY
Um...yeah.
STEVEN
Why are we in center field?
GARRY
Where else would we do this? I don’t have an office.
MARTHA
The dugout would’ve worked.
GARRY
I feel really dumb right now.
STEVEN
How about we head over there then?
GARRY
No, I’m comfortable in the grass. Sit down everyone.
MARTHA
So which award is Landon getting?
GARRY
I never said he was getting an award.
STEVEN
My son always gets awards.
GARRY
And what if he doesn’t?
STEVEN
Look me in the eye. My son. Always. Gets. Awards.
GARRY
Noted. This isn’t about that.
MARTHA
Then why are we wasting our time?
GARRY
An opposing team’s coach complained about Landon.
STEVEN
A grown man complained about an eleven-year-old? What is this world coming to?
GARRY
Actually, the coach is a woman. But besides the point. Apparently, Landon’s swearing has been problematic to some.
MARTHA
Landon doesn’t swear.
GARRY
Have you been to any of the games?
MARTHA
Well...no, but Landon doesn’t swear.
GARRY
You sure about that?
MARTHA
I guess not. But he would be in big trouble if he ever did.
GARRY
The league tapes all the games. I’ve found footage.
LANDON
Seriously Coach Garry???
GARRY
Sorry Landon. But if you can’t control your swearing you’ll be off the team.
STEVEN
So you care so much about swearing, do you?
GARRY
No, but others do.
MARTHA
So Landon won’t swear around others then, like that sorry excuse of a coach.
GARRY
You don’t even know her.
MARTHA
Well I don’t like her.
STEVEN
So it’s agreed, our kid won’t swear—
MARTHA
Which he doesn’t.
STEVEN
—around that woman coach.
GARRY
That coach works too.
LANDON
Got it, Coach Garry.
GARRY
Good meeting.
LANDON, MARTHA, and STEVEN walk away.
MARTHA
Well that was a fucking waste of time.
