Episode Four: Love Is In The Fire
Scene One: Isaac's Office: Isaac, Dana, Casey, and Dan are talking about a potential timeslot change
Isaac- Over the past few days, I've been thinking about changing the timeslot.
Dana- To what time?
Isaac- What time do you ask for?
Casey- Ten.
Dan- Midnight.
Dana- Eleven Thirty-Five.
Isaac- You all are wrong. Sportsnight will be moving to seven.
Casey, Dan, and Dana are shocked.
Dana- Seven?! Have you even checked my schedule? I'm more busy between six and nine than anyone in this place, even you! How am I supposed to live like this?
Casey- You could push them all to an earlier time.
Dana- I can't just do that. Do you even ponder that the people that I know are rich, successful people who can't be moved to an earlier time, let alone before seven!
Isaac- Relax, Dana. You're all bent out of shape for absolutely no reason. It's going to be like when we introduced the one-minute updates.
Dana- Well, that was quite easier than I thought. I could be okay with this.
Isaac- Thanks for your listening and patience. Now will you please start writing?
Casey- I've already got the top story ready.
Scene Two: Jeremy's cubicle: Jeremy is told by Natalie the news
Jeremy- So you're seriously telling me that the show is being made four hours earlier?
Natalie- Straight from big daddy.
Jeremy- Does he have any idea how busy my schedule is? I've never been late for grocery shopping, except for night exams and the time I had a fever. I can't just push that away for television.
Natalie- Food can wait, hypo. It might grow on trees, but it doesn't spoil in minutes. Maybe some foods, but not most of them.
Jeremy- Well, you're right about that. Should I start research on the top story?
Natalie- Casey's got it done already.
Jeremy- (Stunned) Casey? Casey? That guy can't write a straight-faced story if Isaac AND Dana put guns to his head.
Natalie- Don't be so mad. The bump up's been driving everyone crazy. I just caught Dan praying for a windstorm.
Jeremy- Why a windstorm? Couldn't there be a thunderstorm or a tornado?
Natalie- That's beyond me.
Scene Three: Bathroom: Dan is sitting on the toilet, praying
Dan- Please God, take away all my insecurities about this whole thing. Obviously, praying for natural disasters never work, and when they do, they're way above expectations. (giggles) Hopefully, this will be the best thing that could ever happen.
Scene Four: CSC Studios: Casey and Dan are doing the show
Casey- In possibly the riskiest trade in the NBA, the Anaheim Arrows have traded the NBA Finals MVP Samuel Underwood to the Manhattan Towers for pointguards Terell Germann, Quentin Santiago, a second-round draft pick, and cash, reportedly totaling a half million dollars.
Dan- Our NBA analyst says that the trade might change the NBA as we know it.
Scene Four: Casey's house: Casey watches a repeat of that night's show
Casey- My God am I good!
Casey gets his lo mein and starts eating it
Casey- I cannot possibly believe they kept that! I told Dana to cut it out.
