Camera up on grim Greene,
limping slowly down tunnel from field toward locker room; words
"Mean Joe Greene" superimposed on picture. Because he is alone, game
must still be going on with Greene out of it, due to injury.
Cut to kid ( white, about age nine) standing in tunnel, bottle of Coke
in hand.Cut to Greene, scowling.
Cut to kid.
Cut to Greene.
Cut to kid.
Cut to Greene, grimacing.
Cut to kid, offering bottle.
Cut to Greene, sighing, He takes it, drinks, greedily.
Cut to kid, who hesitates, waiting for autograph or sign of recognition
from his hero.
Finally kid turns to leave, reluctantly.
Cut to Greene, suddenly animated and smiling.
Greene grabs his game jersey and tosses it.
Cut to kid, beaming, catching shirt.
