AUDITIONS FEATURETTE

THE BLUE RANGER

Najee auditions for the role of Kevin, Blue Ranger.  Najee pretends to hold a device in his hand to search and is frustrated that there is no reception here either.  The "person" off screen, suggests backup.  Najee gets mad - you can't fight like that.  I'll go alone.  The "person" tells him, he will never make it.  Najee insists the person stay here.  If by chance, you make it down, contact Reese and the others.  The "person" shouts out to wait!  Najee gets angry.  What do you think you are doing?!  You can't fight like that!  The "person" asks Najee, why are you always trying to protect me?  Najee responds, he's not....it's just.  Now the "person" is mad.  If you really consider me being an equal, you wouldn't ask me to stay behind.  You wouldn't ask Reese, would you?  Najee shakes his head no.  The "person" continues.  I mean to you it might seem like I'm playing a super hero, but if someone or something is about to take a life, I'm going to fight to defend it.  Heroes don't worry about themselves when others are in need.  Najee reluctantly admits, you might be a hero after all.  Well, let's see how you do in a fight, when the odds are stacked against you.  Najee goes into a fight stance.  The "person" responds, well let's go.  We'll show them what we can do together.  Najee does a kick.  Najee states, don't worry.  Reese and the others...they will come.  The "person" asks, so you spoke to them?  Najee responds, No, but it's almost time to practice soon.  When they see I'm not there, they'll know something's wrong.  The "person" asks, so just because you miss practice, they'll know something's wrong?  Najee answers, I don't live a disciplined life for nothing.  Reese and the others will come.  The "person" tells him, okay, so in trusting your life, means having faith in others.  Najee tells the "person", not faith, Wesley, certainty.  All we got to do is hold off until they get here.  "Wesley" responds, I hope you are right.  This ends Najee's audition.
