Soccer Shocker

Also from season 1

PREMISE

"Daney's mother signs him up for a soccer team who's coach is not too bright."

WHAT HAPPENS:

Daney Dim appears to be having a indolent and unhealthy lifestyle, not even being willing of walking four steps to dinner. After a hard's day work of watching television, Daney's mother eventually calls for him to get up but the boy is unwilling. After seeing the mess consisting of junk food in the living room, Mother locks heavy Daney in the basement with a trendmill for one hour. Daney starts running before there is a fade out.

The rest of the family is having dinner while Lilly questions Daney's absence and is shut up by David.

Meanwhile, Daney has become content with the idea of exercising telling himself he is done running, for the day. He prepares for bed and is shown brushing his teeth, his mother sees him as she walks past the bathroom, to her room.

Mother Jesula can not help but think about the well being of her son, staying awake until she eventually falls asleep. In her sleep, she is shown having a dream where Daney is morbidly obese and demolishes the living room over chips in a couple of stomps and runs of to a fast food chain to order everything that they advertise. The dream ends there.

In the morning, Jesula comments on how much of a terrible dream she had and gets up to preform her routine. A cup of coffee and a newspaper is picked up when all of her self care has been done. It is on the newspaper where Jesula is informed about the kid's soccer team's need for another recruit. The next scene, she is seen calling up the team and enter's Daney.

Daney is on the team bus to the soccer feild, not too thrilled about the ride or the fact he is enrolled in soccer practice. James Santiago ensures him, "It's not that bad." The bus engine then goes up in flames and everybody is rushed out. The bus driver guides the kids to safety, finding a public bus that goes to the practice feild, Daney is seen aggravated by his experience so far.

The coach  does not show any positive traits or attitude and after scolding the bus driver, makes the kids do military style exercises throughout the entire day. He also expects them to come to 'practice' again at 6 A.M sharp.

In the locker room, Paillot Adele recounts to Daney what happened to the last player who stood up and put his foot down against Coach. Coach taunted him and forced him to eat worms from the ground.

Being damned if he returned to practice, Daney request to film what goes on at soccer practice at home.

The next day, Lilly tries to record the chronicles of  Daney's soccer practice but is caught in the act by coach. Daney and Lilly then run away from Coach who threatens to slaughter them and he gives chase. The two then find themselves in a cliff and are saved from death by the Australian NCIS, who where patrolling the area and coincidentally found the two. Coach then vents his anger and falls of the cliff.
