Everyone arrives at the RSN headquarters.
VICTOR
One question before we walk in: what does RSN even stand for?
LORENZO
Regional Sports Network.
VICTOR
No really.
FELIX
You won’t believe this, but he’s right.
LORENZO
Remember guys: we’re not leaving until we have jobs.
MANNY
Also why don’t we just meet with team ownership again?
LORENZO
They wouldn’t give me the time of day.
Everyone walks into the building and finds the station manager, QUINN, ready to greet them.
QUINN
Whoa…what are you all doing here?
LORENZO
You know why we’re here.
QUINN
I know why you’re here.
LORENZO
We all want our jobs back.
QUINN
What are you talking about, you’re not all losing your jobs!
DEVIN
We’re not?!
QUINN
You are. Felix, Carter, Dave, you guys aren’t.
DAVE
I knew it!
CARTER
Wait…how do you even know?
QUINN
Ownership runs everything by me, you didn’t know that?
FELIX
Guess we should’ve figured that out when Lorenzo dragged us all over here. I’m not asking any questions, though.
ROBERT
What about the rest of us?
ACE
I promise we’ll be more entertaining next year!
QUINN
It’s not about being entertaining, it’s about good pitching. Sorry.
BRYAN
But you don’t understand, I have a kid at home! I don’t want to have to stay at home!
QUINN
Sucks to be you I guess.
LORENZO
Come on, this is a good group of guys who just want to keep their jobs. And I’d like to keep my job as bullpen coach.
QUINN
Look, ratings aren’t what they used to be and the team isn’t what it used to be. They need a better bullpen and a better bullpen coach.
MANNY
Again, it’s insane you know all this.
QUINN
Yeah. I don’t know what I’m gonna do without the Primitives.
LORENZO
About that, once again, we’re not leaving instead until we stay on the team.
QUINN
I mean it’s not really my decision. And they’ve already decided.
LORENZO
So it’s really over then?
QUINN
Yup. But hey…RSN Santa Fe has some job openings.
LORENZO
Sorry, not interested.
QUINN
Oh I wasn’t talking about you. But some of these other guys…you have any experience?
ROBERT
Nope.
QUINN
Perfect. You’re hired. Maybe. I’ll talk to them about it.
ACE
Seriously?!
QUINN
You’d have to relocate to Santa Fe though.
DEVIN
Better than being out of a job completely, I guess.
MANNY
Can I get in on this?
VICTOR
Same, I need some way to make money.
QUINN
Sure, whatever, if they say yes. Now go home.
Everyone exits the RSN building.
LORENZO
I told you I’d get you all jobs!
HARRY
Lorenzo, you did nothing. Also, you’re still out of a job.
LORENZO
Right…oh. I need to fix this.
FELIX
He’s not gonna give you a job.
LORENZO
Oh I know. I have a better idea. I need some moral support though.
CARTER
Uh oh.
LORENZO
Follow me, guys. We’re getting a meeting with ownership whether they like it or not.
