Script For Film Opening

                                                          The Grind by: Benjamin Marchan

(Bedroom early in the morning)

An alarm clock goes off. A hand turns it off. The room is dark due to early morning light. A young athlete named Benjamin who's 16 gets out of bed. His best friend, Lucas also 16, does the same.

(Immediately after getting out of bed)
Benjamin drops to the floor, knocking out push-ups. Lucas does the same, breathing heavily. They both chug protein shakes for breakfast, grab their football cleats, and head out.

(Football field in the morning)

Benjamin and Lucas stand at the 50-yard line, football in hand.

Lucas says "Season’s coming fast."

Benjamin replies "That's why we have to go harder. Every rep, every sprint, every lift has to be max effort. No excuses."

(They do a handshake. The speaker starts blasting rock music)

Training montage begins: Sprinting down the field, pushing each other to go faster. Lifting heavy weights in the gym, sweat dripping. Running side by side down a long road, looking exhausted in their faces but determination in their eyes. Lucas struggles with a rep; Benjamin yells encouragement.

(Football field starting to get dark)

The music fades as they finish their last sprint, both collapsing to their knees, breathing hard.

They stand, locking eyes with mutual respect.

Benjamin says "We keep this up, no one’s stopping us." 

Lucas replies "No one."

Benjamin then gets up and helps Lucas up, determination in their eyes as the sun sets behind them they do their handshake once again.

THE END.
