[Universal Orlando Resort, Orlando, FL || November 17, 2014, 7:42 am, TODAY Show: 'FOUR' Album Launch]

SCENE 1

(A huge crowd gathered in front of the stage, cheers thundered from thousands of fans as The Today Show's weather anchor, Al Roker announced the arrival of the lads.)

AL: "And we are at the Universal Orlando Resort for a special day to have for these fans out here and at home. What better way to start our morning than to have five special gentlemen that continue to capture people's hearts with their growing music. Let's all wait a little while and we'll be part of their grand celebration of the release of their new album Four and ... and ... they're making their way at the dock in just a few seconds. Yup, here they come, everybody! That's the way to make an entrance ... by water."

(The crowd roared in excitement, the boys each stepped out of the boat, being welcomed by Al.)

AL: "How are you doin', guys? We've been waiting for you." (helps Harry and Niall) "Bring it on here. Comin' in hot! Alright!" (the boys greet Al and wave at the fans)

HARRY: "HEY!"

LOUIS: "Great setting."

AL: (shouts for them to hear) "Are you ready to rock this joint? Matt's waiting for you, so watch it, head over to the mat. Great to see you, guys."

(The boys walk on stage, smiling and waving at the crowd, with The Today Show's host, Matt Lauer welcoming them.)

MATT: "Hello, guys. Good to see you!"

NIALL: "Hello!"

LIAM: "Hello!"

LOUIS: "I need a wee. Really bad." (everyone laughs, the boys take their seats)

MATT: "Alright. So, hello. Just another day at the office."

LIAM: "Yeah, this is crazy. These guys been here since five o'clock this mornin', so, thank you, so, so much." (waves, making the fans cheer for him)

MATT: "Alright, I'm counting chairs here, I see four. Normally, we're used to seeing you guys as five, so let's start with the obvious. Where is Zayn?"

(All boys look at LIAM, NIALL nods at him.)

LIAM: "Um, yeah, he's got a tummy bug, so he's not very well at the moment, so he couldn't make it over, but we only found out this morning, so we're really sad. He is, as well, that he can't be here for our album release. It's still going to be a great day, I'm sure!" (raises hand, laughs)

MATT: "Liam, obviously there are a lot of concern, a lot of fans have been tweeting overnight. There's been a lot of action on the social media 'bout him. Is it something more serious than just a minor illness, there have been rumors about substance abuse? What's going on?"

(LOUIS looks at LIAM and sticks his tongue out, HARRY keeps his head down)

LIAM: "No, he's just got a stomach bug, but he's okay. He's just at home. He just needs to rest. He's okay." (LOUIS sticks his tongue out again)
