I-Phone Media

EXT. OUTSIDE AN APPLE STORE ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE

A reporter named Doug is getting the scoop. He talks into the camera.

REPORTER DOUG
Reporter Doug here, reporting on one of the biggest news stories of all time. Today. The New. And improved I-phone 5 is dropping. Let's get some reactions!

Doug and his camera crew start to bombard people as they exit the store.

REPORTER DOUG
Hi, what is your name and where are you from?

STEVE
Hi, my name is Steve and I live about two blocks away.

REPORTER DOUG
Great, and what does the I-phone mean to you?

STEVE
It’s cool. (awkward look into the camera)

REPORTER DOUG
Ok, but emotionally, what has it done for you?

STEVE
I can look things up real quick, which makes me happy.

REPORTER DOUG
Okay, but didn’t this amazing piece of machinery help you when you accidentally fell and broke your neck and the only way you could call for help was to tap the screen with your toe, which allowed Siri
to contact the proper authorities which saved your life.

STEVE
No, none of that is true, I just bought it.

REPORTER DOUG
Okay, moving on. What is your name and where are you from?

CINDY
Hi, I’m Cindy and I’m from Brooklyn and I’m excited about the new phone?

REPORTER DOUG
And what are you gonna name your phone?

CINDY
Name it? What? That seems a bit extreme.

REPORTER DOUG
How so? Did you not use your phone to Google how long a normal contraction should be during your own labor, which put you at ease allowing you to deliver your baby carefully and without injury. One  could say that your phone helped you deliver your only child.

CINDY
I don’t have a child (awkward look into the camera), what is this?

REPORTER DOUG
Moving on, and what is your name and where are you from?

NATE
Hi, I’m Nate and I’m from Sweden.

REPORTER DOUG
Excellent, and you came to America to buy this phone.

NATE
Yeah!

REPORTER DOUG
Excellent, Nate here is a shining example of struggle and endurance. You crossed the ocean with one single oar and one piece of scrap metal and the T-shirt on your back.

NATE
No, that’s not truth. Am I on American television?

He looks in the camera and does a thumbs up.

REPORTER DOUG
Well there you have it folks, I-phones: symbols of truth, love and peace. If you don’t overpay to buy one toady, you’re simply not American.

End.
