Scene 1

Setting:

Exterior - the parking lot of the tennis bubble. The three dudes, wheeling the ball machine toward the trunk of their car.

Action:

Carlo spots Love Lapointe leaving the bubble, and leans provactively on the ball machine as if to say "look what I've got." She stops, shrugs in disgust and turnes to head back to the rec centre. Reacting quickly, Carlo turns and fires a ball at the handicapped automatic door open button, in time to open it for her. She steams through the open doorway, unimpressed.

Scene 2

Setting:

Interior of vehicle, and street exteriors.

Action:

The guys roll about town with the ball machine hanging out one window of the vehicle (or strapped in the bed of a pickup, if nec), using it to do good deeds and impress women. They roll past a crosswalk, and fire a tennis ball at a crosswalk button, changing the light in time for a girl who is just reaching the corner. She smiles politely and keeps walking. Unphased, they keep rolling along, and spy another female goddess on the sidewalk, just as another (greasy, antagonistic type) guy spots her to and motions toward her to make his move. "Match" thwarts this suitor with a swift tennis ball to the side of the head. She winks her thanks but turns the corner and walks away. Match is heartbroken, but carries on.

They speed past a lady busker on the street, playing violin in front of an open case. Ball fires a tennis ball in her direction, and it trickles into her case, settling to reveal his phone number in black marker on the ball. She doesn't notice.He shrugs as if to say "what gives?"

Scene 3

Setting:

Exterior, open "dog" park with plenty of grass

Action:

Finally, our heroes have found a way to get some use out of the machine. They're using it as serving table to serve (beverage sponsor) off the lid, while continuously shooting balls into the distance for a waiting line of dogs, who return the balls, taking turns in sequence. Around our three heroes, a harem of female dog owners has gathered, suddenly free of their dogs, with time to chat with the three and enjoy (beverage sponsor).
