Screenplay - First Draft

INT. JOE'S LIVING ROOM. DAY.
Over the 'E5Y Production Presents' screen, ambient sound with sounds from Call of Duty.

Cuts to SEAN interview.

SEAN

2 POSSIBLE SCENES:

NATHAN
Have I ever had a girlfriend?
*Nathan pauses the game and looks at the interviewer confused*

The camera pans around the room looking at everyone, everyone looks confused.

2:

JOE
Why are we here today? The reunion of H Y D C!

Joe, Jake, Nathan and Sean jump up, removing their shirts to reveal HYDC shirts underneath, they then proceed to high five
