Angelia

Setting: Angelia’s Room/The United Center’s Ice - Center Ice with the home bench in the background, U.S.
Enter Angelia from right stage. She stands D.S. Enter Patrick from left stage. He stands D.S. Jonathan, Coach and the remaining Blackhawks enter and sit in the bench. Tyler enters last. He skates up and skids to a halt behind Patrick. He is warming up, behind him, stretching. The other Hawks and the Coach are conversion, huddled together. Jonathan is seated on a stool to the side of the bench, but still in the home bench area (it is typically used for the backup goalie). His crutches are leaned against the boards behind him.

PATRICK and ANGELIA
Ocean's apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

(Patrick spins around. He gets a thumbs up and a wink from Jonathan. He turns back around.)

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

(Instrumental Break)

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

Waiting for you

The whistle blows. Patrick skates around and taps his linemates.

PATRICK
Ready, Segs?

TYLER
Ready, Kaner!

PATRICK
Ready, Shawzy?

ANDREW
Ready, Kaner!

JONATHAN
(cheering from the bench like a cheerleader)
Wooo!!! You got this boys! Go get ‘em Peeksy! You got this! You can do it!

Patrick sends a nod in the direction of his hobbled captain. Then he leans down in his position, across from John Scott, who snarls and chirps him.

JOHN SCOTT
So, the cat’s out of the bag, eh? You and pretty boy escaped my little trap!

PATRICK
Yeah and we’re ready to wipe the ice with your pathetic Canadiens!

JOHN SCOTT
You can try Kaner, baby, but I don’t think you’ve got the guts!

PATRICK
Oh yeah?

JOHN SCOTT
Yeah!

PATRICK
Oh yeah!

JOHN SCOTT
Yeah!

PATRICK
Oh yeah?! Watch this!

The puck drops. Patrick skates after it. He wins the board battle and spins around John, undressing him faster than a person late for work. He easily keeps the puck to his blade and then skillfully backhands it, high glove side. Goal. He cheers and is tackled by his teammates. They pat his head and congratulate him.

PATRICK
Suck on that Scott!

JOHN SCOTT
Lucky little bastard!

PATRICK
See, I don’t need to let my physical strength or even my mouth do the talking. I let my skill and hands do it for me!

JOHN SCOTT
You’re pathetic Kane. Always were and always will be. And we’ve got a whole two hours left to go, so watch your back, cause I’m coming for you Peekaboo!

PATRICK
Bring it!

He skates away for a line change. Tyler, Andrew, and Patrick go for a change as well. The game continues.

PATRICK
You never know what we could be in store for
The way it goes, we're in for more of the same
One step beyond the flame

JONATHAN
The thread of life
The finely woven pattern
Reveals designs in silent laughter and rhyme
One picture at a time

BOTH
There ain't nothing left behind us
Not a doubt inside us
If the angel calls tomorrow
There's nothing we haven't said
There ain't nothing left behind us
Nothing but a blind trust
I would beg, steal or borrow
To never lose you again.

JONATHAN
It's down to us to figure out the secret
It's not enough to wait for pieces to fall
The writing isn't on the wall

PATRICK
Take my hand,
We'll face the fire together
To distant lands,
But we can weather the storm
Keeping each other warm

BOTH
There ain't nothing left behind us
Not a doubt inside us
If the angel calls tomorrow
There's nothing we haven't said
There ain't nothing left behind us
Nothing but a blind trust
I would beg, steal or borrow
To never lose you again.

There's never been an easy way
Everybody is bound to make mistakes
You just do what you think is right
Then laugh till you cry
Till you scream at the night.

(Instrumental Break)

There ain't nothing left behind us
Not a doubt inside us
If the angel calls tomorrow
There's nothing we haven't said
There ain't nothing left behind us
Nothing but a blind trust
I would beg, steal or borrow
To never lose you again.

Yeah!
Nothing left behind us
Oh no!
Oooooooh!
There ain’t nothing left behind us
Yeah!
Nothing left behind us, baby

The Blackhawks end up winning on a hat trick by Patrick Kane.

Notes

Songs in this scene:
Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx
Nothing Left Behind Us - Richard Marx

What can I say, except that I love, love, love Richard Marx's songs!!!! They are so good and catchy and also make me think of Kaner and Tazer's wonderful relationship and friendship. :) <3
