SCRIPT
THE DRAMA QUEEN
Location: Indianapolis @ the Final Four for NCAA Men's Basketball.
With 1 second left in the game, Brett Anderson is about to shoot two free-throws after a hard foul where he smashed his head into the ground during the fall. Anderson's team, The Eagles are down by 1.
Meanwhile; Josh, Darek, and Krent watch the drama through their 20" TV in the living room excited for their home town Eagles.
The replay shows the impact of the hit that Anderson just took in slow motion. There wasn't much contact after all despite the reaction from Anderson.
Krent: "Ask him if he is turning into a girl" (He says mockingly while he points out the referee checking on Anderson.)
Josh: (Avid Eagles fan) "Ugh, just when I thought he buried his acting career. I don't get why he repeatedly is this dramatic. Just play the game man!"
Chris opens the doors and rushes in taking off his bike helmet.
Chris: "Has he shot the free-throws yet??!?! (He says in a panic as he runs up to the screen)
I was listening to it on my phone while booking it home from work! Is he okay??! Hope everything is solid!"
Krent: "Oh, please he is fine" (He says unimpressed)
Chris looks confused
Darek: "Yeah, he didn't really hit is head, you know how he gets. Has to make everything all about him."
Chris: Ugh, he has got to focus!
Josh: "Exactly... he has to be huge here" (He says as all their faces draw tighter to the screen in anticipation as the referee tosses Anderson the ball to shoot his first free throw)
Announcer through the television draws quiet as Anderson releases the first shot...
Swish!
Collective cheers erupt from the living room!
Krent: I knew he was fine!
Darek: Let's Go!
Chris: C'mon Brett! One more!!!
Brett receives the ball from the referee, takes his three dribbles, and looks up at the rim. He takes a deep breath.
Josh: This is killing me man!
Brett Anderson begins his shot and every breath in the living room is being held. The ball glides out of his hand and into the air...
Clank.
Overtime.

This is good. You've created a nice relationship between the friends and the relationship to the game. The only thing missing is an end reaction to going into overtime.
