INT - BRENNAN'S OFFICE - NIGHT

[Christine Brennan is is watching ESPN SportsCenter]

EISEN(TV)
In it's second year of existance the Grand Slam of Figure Skating lived up to its title.

ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta got in a fight with several spectators after a little boy insulted Cinquanta's momma.

BRENNAN
Oh, thank God. I had no idea what to write this week!

LITTLE BOY (ON TV)
The old man was really getting on my nerves. He tried to kill me with an old lady's cane.

EISEN
No spectators were seriously injured, although the old lady wet her pants while all the madness was going on.

BRENNAN
If it's so wrong why do you make it sooo easy?!

EISEN
Meanwhile, Ottavio needed 3 stitches near his left eye. Cinquanta is scheduled to appeared on tonight's edition of 20/20 in a one on one with Connie Chung.

INT - HOTEL LOUNGE- NIGHT

All the skaters who competed at the grand slam as well as the other pros are assembled.

ROZ
This should be interesting.

[turns on TV]

DONALDSON (on TV)
Hello I'm Sam Donaldson, on tonight's show Connie Chung goes one on one with Ottavio Cinquanta

SKATERS
Boooooooooooooooo!!!!!

CHUNG(on TV)
Ottavio, why did you hit the little boy?

CINQUANTA
I love my mommy. He called her fat. The little boy had been geeting on my nerves. he said Clinton would do a better job running the ISU. Plus I was in a bad mood already, the skaters fixed last night's competition so the pros would win. Very clever actually.

BRIAN
Thank you.

CHUNG
And why do think they did that?

CINQUANTAv Because I forced them to compete in open compeitions.

CHUNG
And why did you do that?

CINQUANTA
I am the boss that's why. Everything I say goes. Get it?

CHUNG
I think so. Is there anything that happened in your childhood that was traumatic?

CINQUANTA
Actually, I didn't have any friends as a child.

[Cinquanta begins to cry]

CHUNG
It's okay, Tavvy.

CINQUANTA
What did you call me?

CHUNG
Were your parents always there for you?

CINQUANTA
Noooooooo!!!!!!

[He sobs.]

CHUNG
It's okay. Let's pause for a commercial break.

[Tara and Michelle stare at each other.]

TARA
This is too good to be true!

MICHELLE
This is hillarious. I think what hapened in the stands was more entertaining than what happened on the ice!

CHUNG (on TV)
We're back. Okay Ottavio, has this grand slam mess taught you anything?

CINQUANTA
Yes, it has. It made me realize that skating fans are out of their minds. They don't know anything about what makes a good president. A good president is one who can take something and completely change it.

ROZ
As in ruin it.

CINQUANTA
If the skaters ever pull any stunt like that again, they will never be paid again. And I will make sure to close down the tours as well. If any skater shows up and goofs off, they will be banned from the Olympic Games.

MICHELLE
Perfect there goes my grades.

BRIANv We will outsmart this man eventually. I think getting hit on the head hasn't changed him at all.

TARA
Let's go kidnap him and hide him.

KURT
How about we tickle him for 4 hours?

BRIAN
We'll think of something.

DICK BUTTON (to the TV camera)
Let's check in with Leslie Visser

LESLIE
Tara, you skated a breathtaking program and are the first to land the 3 lutz/3loop, who does it feel?

TARA
It feels really sucky. I should be in first. This is a pile of dog poo. I want out of this stinkin "competition". It's fixed. The judging is fixed.

LESLIE
What makes you say that?

TARA (reaches up and knocks on Leslie's forehead)
HELLO, MCFLY, ANYBODY HOME? Gosh Leslie, you always ask such stupid questions. You know I don't have to put up with such amateurishness. Where's Tracy Wilson?

LESLIE
Tara, is it your time of the month?

TARA
Go eat moldy bread.

Leslie cries.

LESLIE
And how do you feel being in first place Michelle?

MICHELLE
This is so strange. They continue to overmark me? Tara and Yuka and Roz were much cleaner than I was. And How could NNN be in second. All she did was skate in circles?

LESLIE
Do I know anything about skating? So Michelle how is school?

MICHELLE I'm getting a C is composition, I have an F is Geography, History is the pits, Chemistry is okay and I'm passing Music Appreciation with a B.

LESLIE
Good for you Michelle. Okay Dick Let's roll the fluff piece on Michelle now.

MICHELLE
Isn't this the one that shows my 2nd grade play?

LESLIE
And it also shows your most embarasing moments.

MICHELLE
If you show it, I'll sue ABC.

LESLIE
Okay. Tara any closing comments?

TARA
Leslie? Wear a hat.
