LENNY, sits down as camera crew adjusts the lighting and
makes sure the camera is focused.
INTERVIEWER (OFF CAMERA)
Alright, so let’s just start by
stating your name, and what your
addiction is.
LENNY
Oh, what? Okay Um. Hello everyone.
My name is Lenny, and uh. I'm
addicted to working out.
FADE TO BLACK.
INTERVIEWER (VOICE OVER)
Lenny suffers from a rare addiction
of working out. We followed him
around for a day, to gain inside
the mind of a workout addict. This
is what we found.
FADE IN:
INT. LENNY'S DORM. MORNING.
There are weights scattered throughout the room.
LENNY,18, tall, brown hair, wakes up from a nights sleep
looking groggy
He gets out of bed and immediately drops to the floor and
starts doing push ups. Afterwards, he looks energized and
ready to start the day.
INTERVIEWER, sounding confused begins to ask Lenny a few
questions

INTERVIEWER
Do you always start your mornings
with push ups?

LENNY
Yeah. I always get some push ups in
before my 9 AM. It gets the blood
flowing and prepares me for the day
ahead.
INTERVIEWER
Now, do you always wake up five
minutes before your class starts?

Camera zooms in on alarm clock. Clock reads 8:55. Lenny looks
at clock and notices his class starts soon.

LENNY
Oh yea thats normal. I like waking
up on the later side so it forces
me to run to class. There is
nothing like breaking a good sweat
at 8 am.
Lenny proceeds to sprint out the door. He forgets to put on
shoes.
CUT TO:
INT. LIBRARY. AFTERNOON
Lenny is studying for his exam when all of the sudden he
jumps out of his chair and starts doing jumping jacks

If I do not do at least 100 jumping
jacks a day I am just not myself

2. (CONT’D)
That is...interesting. Does anyone
ever get annoyed by you working out
constantly.
CUT TO:
INT. LIBRARY. AFTERNOON
Lenny is doing his jumping jacks in the middle of the
library.
LENNY (V.O.)
No. Not really My friends tell me I
have a problem but they are just
messing around
INTERVIEWER (V.O.)
Has it ever came across your mind
that maybe you do have a problem?
LENNY (V.O.)
No. If I had an actual problem I
would be doing weird things like
not working out. The people who
don't exercise, those are the ones
with a problem.
CUT TO:
INT. DORM. EVENING
Lenny
Lenny

doing
is playing madden with his roommate BILL. Bill and
are engaged in the game when all of the sudden Lenny's
clock goes off and he drops to the ground and start
sit-ups
BILL

more attention to the game and a

Although I'm in denial, I realize
that I have a problem.

CUT TO:
INT. INTERVIEW ROOM. TIME OF DAY UNKNOWN
LENNY
I feel as if that is the first step
in getting over an addiction. To
recognize that you have a problem,
and fix it.
FADE TO BLACK.
INTERVIEWER (V.O.)
There you have it folks. That was a
day in the life of workout addict,
Lenny. Will he change his ways?
Will he cure his addiction? Only
time will tell.
