EPISODE SIX: FIRE SQUAD

Taylor pouts a little.

TAYLOR- I miss you. Come home. I wanna kiss your face.

Kent smiles. Neal watches them his nose begins to bleed a little.

KENT- I miss you too. I got you something.

Taylor smiles.

TAYLOR- What is it?

Kent notices Neal's nose.

KENT- Hey T let me call you right back.

TAYLOR- Okay.

Kent hangs up the phone and grabs a tissue off the night stand hands it to Neal. Neal dabs his nose.

KENT- that's another one Neal. That's three since we been here.

NEAL- It's nothing.

KENT- if it's nothing why haven't you told your dad?

NEAL- because it's just a nose bleed..I probably just been blowing my nose too hard with allergies.

KENT- or it could something more serious.

Neal holds up the tissue.

NEAL- look it's gone. See I'm fine.

Kent shakes his head.

NEAL- is this why you told them to go easier on me in practice?

KENT- What?

NEAL- I'm not stupid.

KENT- okay so what if I did.

NEAL- how am I supposed to be respected as a ball player if you my brother had to tell people to go on easy on me?

KENT- it's a fucking summit game.  It's like a all star for top high school athletes. You damn right I said go on easy on you in practice this shit is not that important. You won a state championship....those guys respect you. And you just won us the game we don't win without that pass.

NEAL- you don't get it.

KENT- you're probably right but I don't care to get it either. I'll always protect your first and ask questions later....that's what I've always done.

Neal looks at him. Knows he's right he sighs.

NEAL- Every time over this weekend when I felt a moment of stress. It's when it happened.

KENT- The flight.

NEAL- I hate planes.

KENT- first practice.

NEAL- Wanted everyone to feel like I belong there.

KENT- and just now?

NEAL-I love you and T. You know this.

KENT- I know this.

NEAL- but seeing you two this weekend just reminded me....I'm kinda lonely.

KENT- lonely? We've been together like everyday.

NEAL- you know what I mean....I miss having a girlfriend.

KENT- so get your girl back.

NEAL- it's not that simple....I'm still hurt about that engagement shit.

KENT- Why?

NEAL- the same reason you flipped out just because you saw T hug Justin.

KENT- Now why'd you have to bring that up?
